I want to take my life and the time I have on this earth to try to tell others about Jesus, that Jesus Christ is God’s Son who took our sins to the Cross and shed His blood for our sins.

“Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.’” (Matthew 9:35-38) ...

To the Democratic Mayor of Minneapolis and the other socialist left who have criticized calling for prayer in the aftermath of the tragic school shooting—your words do not change or diminish the power and importance of prayer. Because someone calls for prayer doesn’t mean that bad things aren’t going to happen or that the emergency is going to disappear, we all know that. But prayer is our opportunity to communicate directly with the God of Heaven and take our petitions to Him. God does see, God does hear, and God can intervene. The Bible says, “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). What a gift this is. The Bible tells us that Jesus Himself prayed fervently when He was facing death on the cross. In the case of these students who were shot and killed while praying, God can give comfort and peace to the families who have been devastated. The god of this age is Satan—he is the one who wants to steal, kill, and destroy. He is the author of all lies and the turmoil and violence that ensues—like this senseless shooting. The Bible teaches that one day Jesus Christ will return and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. He will wipe away every tear, and peace will come upon this world, because He is the Prince of Peace—He is the embodiment of peace, truth, and righteousness. He will judge those who are alive and those who are dead. Yes, we pray, and I will continue to encourage people to pray. Satan would like nothing better than to thwart the most vital tool God has given us—prayer. Mayor Frey, I hope that you will come to know the price that was paid for your sins and that you will understand the value of prayer in your own life. ... See MoreSee Less

I met Ken Isaacs more than 35 years ago when he came to drill a well for me at our home in Boone, NC. Neither of us had any clue what God had in store. A short time later, I asked him if he would be willing to go to Ethiopia and drill wells for Samaritan's Purse. He and his wife Carolyn accepted God’s call on their lives and moved to Ethiopia with their two sons. That was just the beginning of an amazing journey and a life of witnessing God work in amazing ways all around the world. Ken has written about these adventures in his new book “Running to the Fire: Helping in Jesus’ Name.” You can meet him at a book signing at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC, next Tuesday, September 2.
