“The terrorist attack on New Year’s morning is a tragic reminder of the evil in this world that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy,” Landry said in a statement. “We are thankful for the men and women in uniform who protect us; please join us in praying for their safety and their ability to thwart these heinous acts of terror. We also lift up the victims of this attack and their families.”
“America must pray!” added Perkins. “We need God’s protective hand upon our cities and our nation. Having worked in law enforcement and anti-terrorism, I know the difficulty of confronting an ideology determined to kill and destroy. As the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 127, which Benjamin Franklin quoted at the Constitutional Convention, ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.’ Pray that our nation turns to the Lord so He may guard our cities and our country.”
The broadcast is accessible on the Family Research Council’s Stand Firm app, on the NRB TV Network (available via online streaming or on DirecTV Channel 378) and the Real Life Network. Please join Charisma Media staff and Christians throughout the nation as we intercede on behalf of our nation in this critical hour.
