Pray for President Obama: White House Jumper – Is this the first time the President has been Vulnerable?
John, Pat and Steve discuss the importance of continuing to lift up the President of the United States, Barack Obama, in prayer. In recent news, a man jumped the fence of the White House and not only proceeded towards the White House but he also made it through a doorway into the White House. Situations like this are not new news, but making to and into the building is. Threats of safety are nothing new when looking at past presidential terms. When looking at the current presidential terms, there is significant concern to be raised. Certain individuals have made it into White House events, past security, and to the President himself. They weren’t even invited to the event or supposed to be there! When the President was previously in Columbia, reportedly 12 Secret Service members were caught in a prostitution scandal and sent back to the United States, while the President remained in Columbia; the supposed interpreter at the Nelson Mandela Funeral, a shooter on the White House, and more. They discuss each of these events as they encourage us to pray for the President and our elected leaders. Find out the details of each of these, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Omar Gonzales, Secret Service, Presidential Dinner, Nelson Mandela, prophetic dream, Time Magazine, and prayer.
N.J. Student Sues to Keep “One Nation Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance
John, Pat and Steve share how the fight for the acknowledgement of God in America remains, this time in New Jersey. CBN reports how high school senior, Samantha Jones, is standing up against an atheist group, for her right to say “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. As situations like this occur, it is important to remember that it was America’s first president, George Washington who kissed the Bible on his inauguration date saying, “so help me God”. We cannot forget the history of America. It is so encouraging to see this High School senior stand in boldness amidst these events. We must stand in boldness, like Jones, for Christianity and the truth. Find out the details of who is answering in response to Jones’ stand and supporting her, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Pledge of Allegiance, CBN, boldness, faith, rights, Rediscovering God, and George Washington.
Trusting God in the Middle of the Storm
Steve, John and Pat have an encouraging discussion about the increasing storms of danger throughout the world that is taking place. When looking at the Bible, we can see a similar situation that caused the disciples to only see the “great danger” of the storm that was upon them. While Jesus was at rest, (asleep) the disciples were focused on the storm, and not Jesus. Only in these increasing moments of stress and worry will we know more and more the One who’ name is “Prince of Peace”. What is happening in the world today can be described very easily as “great danger”. Be encouraged as you’re reminded not to focus on the storm, but the One who is at rest, and so much more. Also shared in the segment: repentance, salvation, prayer, the fear of the Lord, the Perfect Storm, and peace.
