The Florida Prayer Network seeks to unite
individuals, churches, and ministries to form a prayer network
to seek God for the healing of our nation and to pray for
the strengthening of families. Through a united effort of
prayer, our state and nation can be changed!
FPN's Guiding Principles:
Since
Florida Prayer Network's primary reason for existence is to
spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to pray for revival
in our state and nation, we have firm beliefs about both the
Christian faith and the importance of prayer. These principles
are drawn from the wisdom of the Bible and the Judeo-Christian
ethic, rather than from the humanistic notions of today's
theorists.
We believe that the
ultimate purpose in living is to know and glorify God and
to attain eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, beginning
within our own families and then reaching out to a suffering
humanity that does not know of His love and sacrifice.
We believe that the
institution of marriage was intended by God to be a permanent,
lifelong relationship between a man and a woman, regardless
of trials, sickness, financial reverses or emotional stresses
that may ensue.
We believe that children
are a heritage from God and a blessing from His hand. We are
therefore accountable to Him for raising, shaping and preparing
them for a life of service to His Kingdom and to humanity.
We believe that human
life is of inestimable worth and significance in all its dimensions,
including the unborn, the aged, the widowed, the mentally
handicapped, the unattractive, the physically challenged and
every other condition in which humanness is expressed from
conception to the grave.
We believe that God
has ordained three basic institutions — the family,
the church and the government — for the benefit of all
humankind. The family exists to propagate the race and to
provide a safe and secure haven in which to nurture, teach
and love the younger generation. The church exists to minister
to individuals and families by sharing the love of God and
the message of repentance and salvation through the blood
of Jesus Christ. The government exists to maintain cultural
equilibrium and to provide a framework for social order.
We believe that
the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man or woman avails
much and can bring about revival in our state and nation.
Therefore FPN will work to network with others for the cause
of Christ. Prayer does reach the heart of God and will make
a difference in the family, in the church and in government.
