Standing Up To the Bullies Notes

More on Standing Up To the Bullies:

The verses upon which NPM is built:  1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
Once again, note the link Paul makes, between praying for the civic leaders and their policies, the gospel message, and seeing souls saved.  That’s why we need to pray for our leaders and what’s happening politically in this country- it’s linked to the spread of the gospel and the salvation of souls.
