Jesus’ warning is clear: a divided house will fall—but a life fully occupied by the Holy Spirit can stand strong.  Summary  In this devotional from Luke 11, Pastor Brian Noble unpacks Jesus’ warning that a kingdom—or house—divided against itself cannot stand. The message calls believers to reject a compartmentalized faith and invite Christ to rule every part of life: personal choices, family, work, church, and participation in the public square. Simply cleaning up outward behavior is not enough; true transformation comes when the Holy Spirit fills the heart and transfers us from darkness into God’s kingdom of light. The devotional closes with a prayer for unity in Washington, asking God to move beyond political division and transform leaders and citizens alike.  Donate Today - https://fpiw.bndlr.co/  TAKE ACTION Don’t Just talk about it - DOWNLOAD The “WASHINGTON DEFENDER APP” today https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  What if prayer is not about having the perfect words—but about approaching God as your loving Father with faith, persistence, forgiveness, and confidence that He hears you?  Summary  In this devotional from Luke 11, Pastor Brian Noble explains that Jesus teaches believers to pray to God as a loving Father—not through the wounds or failures of earthly fathers. Prayer includes honoring God, seeking His kingdom, trusting Him for daily provision, receiving forgiveness, forgiving others, and asking for help when temptation comes. The message emphasizes persistent, faith-filled prayer: keep asking, seeking, and knocking, even when circumstances have not changed yet. Christians are also encouraged to let the Holy Spirit shape every part of life—including family, work, church, and public leadership—and to faithfully steward their influence for God’s glory.    Donate Today - https://fpiw.bndlr.co/  TAKE ACTION Don’t Just talk about it - DOWNLOAD The “WASHINGTON DEFENDER APP” today https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/

The message is not that believers should avoid work, responsibility, or engagement in the public square—it is that prayerful listening must come first. When we begin the day with Jesus, our activity moves from anxious distraction to intentional, Spirit-led action. The devotional challenges listeners to seek God’s direction, speak truth with grace, and carry out their responsibilities without losing relationship, peace, or focus.     Donate Today - https://fpiw.bndlr.co/  TAKE ACTION Don’t Just talk about it - DOWNLOAD The “WASHINGTON DEFENDER APP” today https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/

Hannah’s story in 1 Samuel 1 reminds us that faith does not mean hiding our tears; it means bringing every burden honestly before the Lord.  Summary  In this Old Testament Tuesday devotional, Pastor Brian Noble begins a study of 1 Samuel with the powerful story of Hannah. Deeply distressed by years of infertility and provocation, Hannah does not turn away from God—she pours out her soul before Him in prayer. The devotional encourages listeners to bring their unchanging circumstances, personal grief, family burdens, and concerns for Washington’s public square directly to the Lord with honesty and faith. Hannah’s answered prayer and her faithfulness to dedicate Samuel back to God demonstrate that God hears His people and calls us to trust Him, keep our vows, and seek His help in every area of life.   Donate Today - https://fpiw.bndlr.co/  TAKE ACTION Don’t Just talk about it - DOWNLOAD The “WASHINGTON DEFENDER APP” today https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  Jesus’ answer to eternal life was not merely a religious slogan—it was a call to love God so deeply that His love changes how we treat the people we disagree with most.  Summary  In Luke 10, Jesus responds to the question, “What shall I do to inherit eternal life?” by pointing to wholehearted love for God and practical love for our neighbors. Through the story of the Good Samaritan, this devotional challenges believers not to limit compassion to their church circles or people who share their worldview. Genuine faith in Jesus produces courageous, God-honoring action in the public square—loving others without compromising biblical truth. The central call is clear: keep Jesus and the gospel first, then let that transformed heart shape how you serve, vote, lead, and engage your community  Donate Today - https://fpiw.bndlr.co/  TAKE ACTION Don’t Just talk about it - DOWNLOAD The “WASHINGTON DEFENDER APP” today https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/
