Prayer Targets: Arise & Stand; Supreme Court; Monuments; Elections
July 1, 2020 -

On Monday evening, Tony Perkins hosted an FRC webcast entitled "Arise & Stand."

Here are excerpts:

Prayer Targets: Ravi Zacharias; Pastor Lunsford; The Born Alive Petition
May 20, 2020 -

THE more praying there is the mightier the forces against evil everywhere. Prayer, in one phase of its operation, is a disinfectant and a preventive.

The upcoming Call2Fall is a local church gesture, pointing toward all of God's people; eventually the nation responding to God's call to repentance from individual and national sin. Roberts writes:

If you by any means forget the LORD your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish... because you would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God (Dt. 8:10-20).

Dr. John Witherspoon (1723-1794), Scottish pastor and theologian, was persuaded by American patriots to leave Scotland in 1768 and to accept the Presidency of Princeton College.

Prayer Targets: Judgment or Mercy; Stand for Marriage Sunday
April 16, 2015 -

The prophetic Scripture in Joel is used in a popular Christian song as if talking about the Church marching forward in victory. But it is actually speaking of God's judgments and the thoroughness with which they will be measured out. The picture is of darkness and gloom.

Star Parker, long-time friend of FRC, is founder and president of CURE, a Washington, DC think tank that advocates free market policy solutions to poverty.

Prayer Targets: Bill Clinton; RFRA Then & Now; Indiana RFRA; Prayer & Fasting; Iran; Arkansas
April 2, 2015 -

against Governor Mike Pence and the Religious Freedom Reformation Act (RFRA) he signed on Thursday. Patterned after the 20-year -old federal RFRA, Indiana's law says nothing of "homosexuality" or "discrimination" but was enacted to protect the religious liberties of all citizens. Since 1993, attacks against those liberties have increased exponentially by local, state and federal authorities. Yet sexual activists made this new law all about them, falsely claiming that RFRA's are "a license for Christians to discriminate against the LGBT community." They want to hijack the law to highlight homosexual rights.

March 18, 2015 -

Prayer Targets: Dr. King; The Reconciled Church; First Pro-life Vote; March for Life; Much More
January 21, 2015 -

This week we remember both Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy as well as the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. There are many parallels between the civil rights and pro-life movements. Despite the safeguards of liberty and justice built into our Republic, injustices exist. Both movements demonstrate the power of the people to right wrongs in our system, with faith, prayer, votes, and by peacefully resisting those who misuse the power of government to do evil. Neither movement has fully succeeded, but both have seen tremendous gains. God gives every human being value and dignity. May our prayers prevail in the causes of righteousness and justice!

A wealthy Christian friend, Charles Jennens, added Scripture, helping make Messiah a glorious presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. With the prayer that you and yours will have very blessed Christmas, I offer the version of Messiah my wife and I enjoyed on Sunday at the Kennedy Center, home of the National Symphony Orchestra (gift tickets from our youngest daughter and her husband). I added the scripture references. Please reflect, pray, praise and view one of the many Messiah performances on the Internet

William J. Johnson, in his 1919 book, George Washington, The Christian, documents the faith of the "Father of our Country." Like a lawyer, he catalogues testimony after testimony of Washington's unquestionable Christian character, consistent profession of faith and ardent Christian walk from his youth until his death.
