Joyce's article posted to www.HeadlinePrayer.org on Saturday:
Lord, teach us how to repent in the fullness this great gift allows. Change us into the image of Christ.
If you pick up a modern French dictionary — one sanctioned by the Institut de France — the government academy that arbitrates matters concerning the national language — you will find the word repentance defined almost exclusively as a “painful regret” for one’s faults.
For this reason, many French Bible translations will use more words than typical or footnote the text to ensure the fuller biblical meaning of repentance is spelled out.

Josh is the son of Alex Kendrick, one of the Kendrick Brothers, whose film The Forge is in theatres now. Josh shared his testimony on the set of The Forge.
The Forge focuses on discipleship, which is helping followers of Christ see where they need to repent. We saw the film on Times Square, and the audience was large and ready to cheer, applaud, and gasp in the right moments! If they're like me (Rich), they did a fair share of weeping as well.
This interview was a part of a special Headline Prayer Live focused on revival: "Seeking God for Revival."
