Happy Friday to all!
This is Week #2 in the series on What Would Jesus Do? If you missed it on last week, take some time and read the great articles that were listed. This is the time that we come together as a nation and review some of the things that are happening across our nation.
This review is not intended to be just that in and of itself. It is intended to inform and spark corporate prayer within the body of Christ. Our nation needs prayer and that’s the only way that true change will come! I pray that you are blessed on this week!
Saving Christmas

The first article that I will share on this week is about a movie that will be coming out this November. Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas is a movie that is intended to put Christ back into Christmas. I pray that this movie accomplishes just that because as Kirk Cameron stated in the article, we have definitely become disconnected to the real meaning of Christmas. Many of our children are only excited about Christmas because of the gifts they are looking forward to receiving. They have no reverence for the significance of the day in and of itself. I am praying for Kirk Cameron and that this movie is a great success. Join me in sending up pray for Christian actors and actresses all over the world that God would continue to anoint them to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church

I am sure that most of you have heard the news concerning Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church. If you have not heard Mark Driscoll is being accused of ‘spiritual abuse’ concerning the members of the church. Anytime I hear news of this nature within the body of Christ, my heart is saddened and prayers are instantly sent up for all of those affected. God never intended for His sheep to be hurt, abused or misused. God is love and He is the essence of love itself. Anything that strays from love is not God: point blank.
As I read the news concerning Mark Driscoll, I am compelled to pray for people all over the world who have been impacted by any type of spiritual abuse. I pray that God heal and restore you and that you understand that people are imperfect. The God that we serve is perfect in all of His ways and He would never hurt you. I pray total deliverance and restoration for you and your family, in Jesus Name!
If you are reading this, please join me in praying for all of those who have been impacted by this tragedy and that this experience does not cause them to walk away from God but causes them to draw closer to a loving God.
Mississippi School District Threatened to be Sued by Atheists

This is the second week that I have posted an article concerning prayer within our school districts. As I stated last week, anytime I read something concerning eliminating God out of our school systems, I am saddened. I am saddened because I have children still in school, and I understand the ramifications of kicking God out of the schools.
We have seen the danger escalating within our schools year after year and we wonder why. Our schools are no longer the safe haven they used to be and we should know exactly why that is the case by now.
This story highlights an incident that took place within a Mississippi school district that was obviously threatened by a group of atheists for having prayer at a mandatory convocation for faculty. The atheist group threatened to sue the school district if they did not comply and stop all religious activity within the school. The school has agreed to comply and will no longer hold prayer or conduct any other type of religious activity.
Prayer is in order! Please join me again on this week in praying for our school systems. As I children go back to school on this year, I pray that God keep them covered and that His angels are encamped around them each and everyday.
I pray that you have been blessed on this week and that you will continue to pray for our nation because that is what Jesus would do!
