Prayer Request

Please pray for our country, the Christians and non-Christians, during Holy Week. Last night we watched the National Geographic Channel on the Plagues of the Exodus, they did a pretty honest job of trying to discover a subject requiring faith with science. It was not a slam dunk for the faithful or the apostates. It presented more evidence for the faithful, saying science does not deny these events did take place, actually science agrees the plagues occurred. The next program for the Shroud of Turin left out the more recent evaluations, but still gave a chance for the faithful to speak.

My prayer would be for the media programs. Tonight we watched the Colbert Report, where the host began by saying he is a Roman Catholic and ended the sentence by saying Jesus came to life by the magic of the Easter bunny and marshmallow candy. This is so very inappropriate, especially for Holy Week. He continued the report by targeting the Pope and sex scandals of the Church from years prior. I am Protestant, but I know the news has not accurately reported the American Catholic people of the Northeast have begun their process of forgiveness for the Church. Tonight's report on the Colbert Report did not even touch on the fact this Pope has worked tirelessly to make sure justice is served by Christian Priests.

My prayer this week is Holy Week would draw the respect it deserves. It would be great if we had more biblical programs for Passover and Easter during Holy Week. It is a great injustice we see faith mocked instead. Father God, may the Love You have given us gather respect instead of derision and half-truths. Give Your childrens' prayers a voice in the media, Father God, to glorify Your Love and Your Saving Help. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
