We went to a pre-release screening of A Great Awakening last Wednesday and were thrilled that Joshua Enck (writer/producer/director), Jonathan Blair (writer/George Whitefield), Josh Bates (Alexander Hamilton), and Katie Miller (head of Sight & Sound’s film division) were all in attendance and willing to do interviews with me after the screening. 

Here's my article about the film:

"What Will SAVE America? An Awakening!"

Lord, our government leaders fight like cats and dogs. Please bring another great awakening! We need You like never before!

Leaders from every state are at each other’s throats! Are they arguing over the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act or funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)?

Nope. Those tensions won’t rise for 239 years. The heated debates comprise the first scene of A Great Awakening, opening nationwide on April 3. At issue in the Constitutional Congress of 1787 is the power dynamic between large and small states. That will soon be solved by creating the House of Representatives (with the number of representatives based on population) and the Senate (with two senators for every state, regardless of size). Though it isn’t featured in this film, we know from The American Miracle Expanded that eight of the 13 states wanted to abolish slavery, which also caused much contentious chatter.

Here's my latest article for Intercessors for America:

Two States’ Schools May Be Forced To Leave Out the Facts of January 6

Lord, the future of our nation is in the minds of our students. Please give teachers the courage to teach the truth, no matter what!

Virginia school teachers may soon be required to teach about what happened on January 6, 2021, within the narrow confines of approved talking points. ...

Though the Virginia bill doesn’t require children to be taught about J6, Long Island Democratic state Rep. Chuck Lavine wants to take things a step further in New York. His bill, A03966, “Requires instruction on the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and its aftermath in all schools in the state.”

We covered this and other articles from www.HeadlinePrayer.org, leading with "FBI Investigates NYC ISIS-Inspired Attack As Terrorism" on Headline Prayer Live:

I felt a heavy burden to write an article addressing how the Church is being divided by anti-ICE riots: 

"Weaponized Compassion Pushing the Anti-ICE Agenda"

Lord, please bring unity in the Body of Christ around truth and justice. Be the balm as facts are ignored and spun.

  

Many Christians are among those who have been protesting how Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is handling deportations in Minneapolis, Minnesota. There were more than 600 faith leaders and clergy who went to Minneapolis on January 22. About 100 of them were arrested for “trespassing and failing to comply with an officer.”

Joyce and I were not on today's Headline Prayer Live (we're on the 2nd and 5th Tuesdays), but I was really blessed by how today's team covered the article:

My article "Anne Frank Exhibit Confronts Mamdani’s Antisemitism" ran today on www.HeadlinePrayer.org: 

Lord, thank You for how history has been preserved. Even the recording of evil is helpful to direct our prayers for the Jewish people today.

The Anti-Defamation League reported the most antisemitic incidents in the 46 years it’s been tracking them, and Jewish leaders are already expressing concerns for the New Year with Zohran Mamdani — a Muslim Twelver — inaugurated as mayor of New York City, with more Jewish people than Jerusalem.

The exhibit runs through February 1. 

We prayed over that article and others, including "Insider Describes the Harrowing Situation in Iran" on Headline Prayer Live:

I prayed for you and our 250th Anniversary:

We had a very busy fall, so I'm catching up on some things we didn't post earlier. This was the article Joyce wrote about Communion America in October: 

Lord, bring a communion revival to America. Unite the church by the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

The invitation was simple.

Come to the Table.

To the Lord’s Banqueting Table.

To Communion America.

Gather with people from around the nation to celebrate Jesus by worshipping, praying, feasting, and partaking in holy communion.

My latest article on www.HeadlinePrayer.org:  

Lord, protect America from the drug cartels, which are putting so many of our family and friends at risk.

The promise: If you legalize marijuana, it will “prevent revenue from the sale of marijuana from going to criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels.” Oregon voted to legalize the drug in 2014, and now they’re finding they’ve become a magnet for cartels.

Joyce and I led in prayer over this and other articles on Headline Prayer Live:

Yesterday I listened to two excellent sermons by Dr. Voddie Baucham: "Christians, You've Been Lied to About the Rapture" and "The Lie Many Christians Believe -- But It's NOT in the Bible." The sermons expose two reasons the Church has been so weak about speaking into our culture. Later I heard a Charlie Kirk talk, "Dear Church, Wake Up!" in which he pointed out that churches that speak clearly into cultural issues are the ones that are growing by every measure. 

Intercessors for America ran my article about Dr. Bacham. I'm behind on posting, but this #ScriptureInTheNight prompted me to get this one out now:

As I write, my article about Christopher Columbus is on top of www.HeadlinePrayer.org: 

Lord, thank You for America and all You did to set it into motion. Bring truth into the light. Set the people free from lies.

Christopher Columbus was accused of many things, but all charges were dismissed in a court of law.
