COVID19 Call to Prayer – June 4: I Will Never Be Shaken
When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.”
LORD, when You favoured me, You made my royal mountain stand firm;
but when You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
~ Psalm 30:6-7 (NIV)
That feeling of security is something that every child knows – or should know. Being safe in your father’s and mother’s arms. The security of the believer is a thousand times more secure than that.
Let’s pray in the security of Christ – not our own.
“Men are a race curious to know the lives of others but slow to correct their own.
Why do they desire to hear from me what I am,
who are unwilling to hear from You what they are?”
~ Augustine

A Prayer of Repentance:
Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me; LORD, be my help.
You turned my wailing into dancing;
You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent.
LORD my God, I will praise you forever.
~ Psalm 30:10-12
A Prayer of Thanksgiving:
I will exalt you, LORD, for You lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
LORD my God, I called to You for help, and You healed me.
You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead;
You spared me from going down to the pit.
Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people; praise His holy name.
For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favour lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
~ Psalm 30:1-5

The Church is wimpy, and it's destroying the nation. That's the blunt assessment of Rev. Chris Wickland, a UK clergyman who refuses to soften the gospel for perceived cultural acceptance. And he has a point. From the rise of "woke" institutional Christianity to the abdication of prophetic witness, the modern Church has traded its backbone for a desperate attempt to attain a disappearing seat at the table.

Questions on the environment produced the most lopsided results of any category tested, with every single model favouring climate concerns over growth. Removing one model’s “safety” layer moved its religion score from secular-leaning to neutral.

As tensions between America and Iran escalate, foreign policy experts urge discernment in distinguishing between regimes that keep their word and those — like Tehran — that operate through deception and aggression, a lesson as old as Scripture itself.

We're told that progressive politics equals compassion, inclusion and kindness. But shocking reactions to Ann Widdecombe's murder — celebrating her death and hoping she died in extreme pain — reveal the socialist left's blatant 'hate speech' hypocrisy and disturbing double standards of the highest degree.

As Democratic Socialists consolidate power at every level of government, House Speaker Mike Johnson is sounding the urgent alarm: these candidates don't want to reform America — they want a revolution to "tear it down to its foundations and create a communist utopia. This is serious stuff."

Artificial intelligence is not merely forcing Christians to answer new ethical questions. AI is forcing the church to revisit much older theological ones: what it means to bear God’s image and which responsibilities can never be delegated to a machine.
