Praise the Lord for another opportunity to gather together in His name. May we all be blessed today as we worship.
Recently, the Christian Post carried a story about a Washington high school football coach, Joe Kennedy, who led post-game prayers with any team member who wanted to. Even though it had been a long term practice, it somehow came to the attention of the anti- Christian lobby that registered official complaints. The issue went straight to Washington State Superintendent, Randy Dorn, who declared the following: “School staff exercising their right to silently pray in private on their own is fine, but leading a prayer might put a student in an awkward position, even if the prayer is voluntary. For students who don’t share the official’s faith, prayers – the official’s public expression of faith – can seem exclusionary or even distressing.”
Coach Kennedy continued to pray and offer voluntary post- game prayer until he was eventually placed on paid leave for refusing to comply with the school district’s request. However, a Bremerton High School student has reached out to the Satanic Temple of Seattle to come as an alternative to Coach Kennedy’s after-game prayers. In a press release from the Satanic Temple of Seattle, they indicated that they are offering the Bremerton football team and the community their service.
It is very clear that when we put out God we automatically bring the devil in. This is exactly what has happened at Bremerton. God’s word says, “…because they received not the love of the truth…God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie” (2Thes. 2:10-11). Let us keep this school and community in our prayers, that the light of God might pierce the darkness there, and bring deliverance to them before it is too late.
