It is amazing how when you plan to do things your way that God can change them around. That happened this week with a guest and so we have had to reschedule what we were going to do. Yet, we know that behind the change of plans that God has a reason for waiting. It always will come at the last minute but it is the right time on God's watch.

We need lots of prayer this month and next month when we start to air our series on Same Sex Marriage. Many people don't think it's important for them but it is. This is something that is taking over our country. Now adays you can't turn on the tv without them promoting this. This is a sin and we as christians need to stand up to the plate and defend biblical marriage.

We need prayer for protection and that people who are involved in this sin will repent and see the light.

We are getting into our busy months that lead up to Christmas. Pray for our staff as letters, materials, materials on the website and other places are going out. We thank you for standing with us and praying for us!

Today starts something that all christians should participate in. It is the 40 days of prayer. This is something that we as christians should not be told to do but do it auotmatically. Prayer changes things and we need to be more diligent in that. This is something that I found to be true. When I don't pray, things don't happen around me. I hope that you will join me in 40 days of prayer.

Here at the John Ankerberg Show we are praying for two specific programs that are coming up. The first one is a program we did with a pastor in town on Discipleship. This is something that everybody needs to have as a resource to better help other people in their growth with the Lord. The great commission is a command for us to reach the world with the gospel of Christ. We are going to provide study guides that go along with the dvd on discipleship and we will have another study guide that goes along with a part of our series on how you and a small group of people can study the word together and grow in the Lord together. I hope that you will not miss this series.

The other program that we will be taping at the end of the month will be about same sex marriage and what the states (in particular California) are deciding. We will have some of the top experts on this topic talk about what is happening in America today and also how this is influencing people. You see this everywhere including what Hollywood is putting out. Please pray for this program as this will be going out in a few weeks. There will be a lot of opposition and we need your prayers.
