1620 - The Mayflower Compact was Signed.
1789 - North Carolina was Admitted to the Union.
Let us pray for our Christian friends in North Carolina. It has been my privilege to speak in many places across this great state and some of God's choicest Christians and preachers live there. Maybe you know some Christian friends in North Carolina whose names you could call in prayer today. Perhaps you know of some preachers for whom you ought to pray.
1800 - Congress First Assembled in Washington, D. C.
Let us pray for our Congress and those who lead us in our nation's Capitol.
1875 - Dwight Moody Began His Great Philadelphia Campaign.
Moody was a great evangelist, yet, he founded the Moody Memorial Church in Chicago. More and more I am impressed with the fact that many evangelists emphasize the local church. In fact, many of them founded churches and tabernacles. Moody was a great evangelist, but he founded the huge Moody Church. A. B. Simpson was a great evangelist, but he founded A. B. Simpson Tabernacle. Rader was a great evangelist, but he founded the Paul Rader Tabernacle in Chicago. Spurgeon was a great evangelist, yet he founded the Spurgeon Tabernacle. Charles G. Finney was a great evangelist but he founded a local church. Jonathan Edwards was a great evangelist, yet he too was a pastor. Yes, we need evangelists and we ought to pray for them, but the big need is for us to have Bible preaching, soul-winning churches in every city, town, village and hamlet in America. This is the burden of my heart. Won't you pray that God will raise up a generation of preachers so that there will be a good, soul-winning church within the driving distance of every believer in America. Oh, may God make it so.
