According to Chuck Garriott, director of Ministry of State, most of us reach a point where we reflect on our stewardship of the gospel.

The Presbyterian Church was strongly influenced by the Great Awakening. In important ways, it was the occasion for a serious division in the church.

It is with a concern that we persist or begin, if we are not praying, that I humbly offer the following prayer.

The goal is to help the PCA remember that God’s blessings in the past prepare us for his work that still lies ahead of the church.

May this administration, which belongs to you, bring you praise, honor, and glory.

A call to all PCA churches to pray for our nation on Sunday, January 10.

Aimed at exposing the culture of narcissism Garriott has witnessed in Washington, D.C., the book is intended as a cautionary tale to believers in power as well as those who serve or influence them.

“The Westminster Confession declares it our duty to pray for the civil magistrate. The Scriptures tell us to minister to those whom God has placed in political leadership, to pray for them, and when possible, like Paul, to present the gospel with the hope that Jesus will change lives.”

Garriott wants to help Christians move past general prayers for state and national leaders and pray for them as real people whose lives are in God’s hands. Nothing about a leader’s beliefs or actions negates the Christian’s responsibility to pray for him.

We spent a few minutes chatting with Garriott about how God is using the PCA’s Ministry to State to change lives in seats of power across the globe.
