Christ Over Career National Kickoff

Heaven is coming to New York City.

That is the vision and prayer of Actor, Director and Producer Cameron Arnett, who is bringing Christ Over Career the movement (COC) to Theatre 315 in mid-town Manhattan on Aug. 19-20.  The theatre at 315 W. 47th Street is owned and operated by The Salvation Army, which is partnering with Arnett to sponsor the free launch event. According to Arnett, who will deliver the keynote address, the gathering will feature speakers who are “living a testimony of choosing Jesus over everything and anything and anybody” in hopes of inspiring others to the same decision. [Read more of Joyce Swingle's article about it by clicking here.]

The keynote on August 19 will begin at 7pm, and the breakout sessions on the 20th will run from 10am to 3pm.

Joyce wrote one titled “Our Role in Justice” about an experience she had when called to jury duty, and mine is based on an interview with Anna Strasburg who ran and cycled about 3,000 miles over 15 months to raise awareness of the full humanity of the pre-born child: "Coast-to-Coast Witness for Life."

When the Intercessor Acts

I'm catching up on a couple of Joyce's offerings, and they happen to make a nice pair. The first is an article she wrote for Intercessors for America's publication The Connector. It's titled, "When the Intercessor Acts," and it was written before Roe v. Wade was abolished. 

The second is her message at Westchester Chapel the Sunday after our intercession was answered and Roe fell. She titled it "Stay Aware with Prayer," and she opens by rejoicing over this great answer to our prayers. 

She exhorts listeners to stay aware from 1 Peter 5: 8-11 in the continuation of our series "What Happens When a Created People Walk Away From Their Creator?"

A Greek Perspective on the Church of Thessalonica

For our Wednesday night study of 1 Thessalonians, I shared an interview I did with Rev. Panagiotis Kantartzis, who pastors the First Evangelical Church of Athens, Greece, and is the author of A Christian’s Pocket Guide to Eastern Orthodox Theology: An Evangelical Perspective. He grew up an hour from Thessaloniki, which is where Paul wrote his letters to the Thessalonians. Pastor Kantartzis shares insights from his own experience and studies.

On May 14 my article "A Triumph for Life in the NYC Theatre World!" ran on www.HeadlinePrayer.org along with an interview with Phelim McAleer, producer of the play based on the trial of Kermit Gosnell.

A Triumph for Life in the NYC Theatre World!

Tonight and tomorrow are the last New York City performances of Oh Gosnell: A Show About the Truth. Joyce and I saw it last night, and it was incredibly powerful. I wrote about it for www.HeadlinePrayer.org: "A Triumph for Life in the NYC Theatre World!" It covers the trial of Kermit Gosnell, who regularly induced labor and snipped the spinal columns of the babies at his abortion clinic. Every word in the play is taken from court transcripts and the grand jury report. 

Here's my interview with the show's creator, Phelim McAleer:

After seeing the show we interviewed David Atkinson, the director, and captured some of my reactions:

If you only have three minutes, here are clips from both interviews and some of my reactions to the play:

The Matter of Life

Tracy Robinson was on Pray with Others Live today talking about her film, The Matter of Life. We’re reposting my article about Robinson’s film because exactly two weeks after the draft majority opinion of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked to Politico, the film will be in theaters, helping people make sense of what abortion is. During Robinson’s November 30, 2021, appearance, on the eve of the Supreme Court opening statements for the Dobbs case, on Pray with Others Live Judy McDonough said, “We have a great God who’s going to time it perfectly.” He certainly did!

Today's my Dad's birthday, so I posted an article about him I recently came across:

Shooting the breeze with the flyboys

Dad in front of a TBM. He flew
one over forest fires when he
was in his 20s.
 

Dad's adventures as a pilot most certainly inspired me to live adventurously for the Lord!

Be a Happy Host, not a Grouch!

Joyce continues Westchester Chapel's series on "What Happens When a Created People Walk Away From their Creator?" with a message on hospitality from 1 Peter 4:9.  She mentions Luke 9:26, Matthew 24: 4-14, Exodus 24: 1-11, Psalm 23, Hebrews 13: 1-3 and Matthew 10:40-42.  I got to share a funny story, and she includes an excerpt from The Adventum 4.
