Many Christians in many evangelical churches these days are confessionally challenged in that they are either cynical, critical, or altogether skeptical of all things confessional — confessional documents, confessional churches, and confessional Christians. We might hear confessionally challenged Christians say things, such as “My only creed is Christ” or “I don’t need theology, just give me Jesus” or “Confessions divide, Christ unites.” Such Christians are actually under the impression that their churches don’t have confessions, when in truth every church has a confession, though it may not be written down and though it may constantly change according to the whims and fancies of the pastor. They have been somehow deceived into thinking that all of the various historic Reformed confessions only serve to divide the church of its unity and disarm the Bible of its authority. Nothing could be further from the truth, for what is so amazing about Reformed confessions in general is not how different they are from one another but how similar they are — how they each use biblical language in affirming the faith once delivered to the saints.

Dear "LUMglobal" Subscriber:
 
I just received word of an important nation-wide prayer strategy that is just around the corner.  Because of the date, I'm sending this to you in this special letter, and encourage you to check out the website, form a group, and join in with hundreds of thousands across the country.
 
CNSNews has just reported the plans for special "Cry Out America" prayer gatherings at county courthouses on Friday, September 11th in conjunction with the 9/11 attack anniversary.  The promoters are encouraging Christians to “gather at noon at county courthouses across the nation in repentance, to pray for the lost, and to cry out for God to send another ‘Great Awakening.’”
 
To read the entire stirring article, go to http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/53537, and also check out the organizers' website at http://www.awakeningamerica.us/ for more information and helpful resources on spiritual awakening.  By following appropriate links, you can find contact information on plans nearest you as well as a chance to sign up yourself as a coordinator if none already exists.
 
I can think of no better way to honor the victims of 9/11, express gratitude to all the heroes of those events, and to seek the face of God for a fresh wave of His Holy Spirit to sweep across the nation.  I have seen enough "territorial" moves of God personally to know that it can happen, just as many of us long to see.
 
In His Bond, By His Grace, and For His Kingdom,
