Part 2 - Encore presentation - Teaching Ohio's School Students the Constitution and American History with State School Board Member Sarah Fowler

On today's program, State School Board Member of Ohio's 7th District, Sarah Fowler, discusses with OCA President Chris Long the ongoing challenges to safeguard the Founding of America Documents curriculum in Ohio's classrooms.  H.B. 239, legislation introduced by Rep. Gail Manning, would do away with the end of course exam requirement in American Government and History. This would destroy the Founding of America Documents curriculum that conservatives fought so hard to replace in the Ohio classroom after it had been removed from the curriculum in recent years. Sarah Fowler and President Long sound the alarm that it is imperative that we defeat H.B. 239. Tune in and tell a friend.

If My People Which Are Called By My Name Shall Humble Themselves...And Pray II Chron. 7:14

Joining me on the program is President of Intercessors of America Dave Kubal.  We discuss the importance of praying for our legislators and those who serve us in public office, from the President and his cabinet, members of Congress, to state and local officials. If the church gets serious about intercessory prayer for our nation, then God will hear from heaven, will forgive our sin, and will heal our land. 

Also joining me is Pastor Michael Hall, pastor of the Peoples Church in Camp Springs, MD, who for the past 26 years has kept the tradition of open Bible reading on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in conjunction with the National Day of Prayer.  The Bible is read aloud from Genesis to Revelation from Sunday to Thursday morning, the National Day of Prayer.  The Bible is read in its entirety. Pastor Michael explains the power of reading God's Word aloud from our nation's capitol. In its 30th year, the tradition continues.

Notre Dame Cathedral Burns-Was It An Accident or Was Something Else at Work?

Notre Dame Cathedral Burns-Was It An Accident or Was Something Else at Work?

This week, the world watched as one of Christianity's most beloved cathedrals went up in flames. Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris dates back to 1163. The 856-yr-old gothic cathedral went up in flames as Parisians gathered in the streets, feeling helpless, and began singing hymns. Officials have stated that there was no suspicion of arson, but the dozens of attacks on Christian chapels and cathedrals in Paris and throughout France since the beginning of the year beg the question, was this a workplace accident or an act of vandalism. Radical Islamists have been carrying out acts of vandalism and desecration, including torching Christian churches and cathedrals around France. For whatever reason, French officials are reluctant to state the obvious that these are anti-Christian attacks. Author and historian Bill Federer, who has written the book, "What Every American Needs to Know About the Quran", weighs in on these attacks on Christendom, not only in the West, but in Africa and China.
