“Irreplaceable” Family Coming to Theaters May 6

May 1, 2014JerryFamilyFamily, Focus on the Family

Focus on the Family has produced a feature-length documentary called “Irreplaceable.”

The film highlights the importance of the traditional family–a mom and dad committed to one another and their children for a lifetime–and opens in 700 theaters nationwide on May 6.

Backlash against the film ahead of its release has been surprisingly sharp. Opponents are denouncing the documentary as “hateful,” and many are pressuring theaters not to show the film.

Eric Metaxas, one of the speakers featured in “Irreplaceable,” has recorded a few comments about the controversy in his Breakpoint segment at the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview. Listen below.

National Day of Prayer Coming May 1

Apr 28, 2014JerryNational Day of PrayerNational Day of Prayer, Prayer

May 1, 2014, is the 63^rd annual National Day of Prayer. We encourage you to join other Americans in raising your voice in praise and thanksgiving to God. For National Day of Prayer events in Arkansas go to http://nationaldayofprayer.org/events/.

In his article, “Still…Under God”, John Bornschein explains the history of the National Day of Prayer saying,

“[L]ike it or not, this great nation is still Under God – a God who is active in the affairs of men and their governing authorities (Proverbs 8:15; 21:1, Daniel 4:25). Groups like Planned Parenthood and the Freedom From Religion Foundation, among others, oppose the idea that people are accountable to an Almighty God. . . . Generation after generation, people seek to tear down the institutions that uphold what remaining moral layers prevail within a civilized society, offering nothing in return. After all, it is easier to tear down than to build up.”
