Bible Studies and Christian Decorations Banned in Senior Living Centers

NATIONAL ISSUE OF GREAT CONCERN

We’re hearing from a growing number of cases of senior center members being harassed or even banned from holding Bible studies at their senior living centers. We understand that this phenomenon is an epidemic that is spreading nationwide, and we’re concerned over this issue and putting it to prayer. A growing number of senior centers are claiming that federal law prohibits them from allowing Bible studies. According to Jay Sekulow’s ACLJ, federal law and the Constitution PROTECT Bible studies and religious decorations. Banning them is simply unlawful.

Pastor Danny Burns is praying on establishing a Bible School in Pittsburg, Texas. As many of you know, Christians have the right to hold regular Bible studies in centers, but they no longer have chaplains in those centers to facilitate the needs of Christians in those homes or centers.

Pastor Danny and his wife, Donna, support ACLJ to defend seniors’ right to pray, to display Christian decorations, and hold Bible studies in senior community centers just like any other activity that is allowed. God has led Pastor Danny to prepare volunteers in his Bible school to visit, pray, and provide Bible Study in local senior centers.

Ask the Lord

Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in it.

Incline my heart to Your testimonies, and not to covetousness.

Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way.

Establish Your word to Your servant, who is devoted to fearing You.

Turn away my reproach which I dread, for Your judgments are good.

Behold, I long for Your precepts; revive me in Your righteousness.

Psalm 119:33-40

When we read Psalm 119:33-40, we see the author was inspired by the Holy Spirit to ask the Lord for 8 things:

1. Teach him

2. Give him understanding

3. Make him walk in the path of God’s commandments

4. Incline his heart to God’s testimonies

5. Turn away his eyes from worthless things

6. Establish God’s Word to him

7. Turn away his reproach

8. Revive him in God’s way and God’s righteousness

We can safely assume that those requests were all in line with God’s will, therefore, the Lord was eager to help him. We don’t have to journey in this life without God’s help. As followers of Christ, He is always with us. When we seek Him, we find that we don’t have to “do life” in our own strength or “willpower.” We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Let’s ask God for those 8 things and experience a mighty move of God in our lives as we grow in our FAITH IN HIM!

We are here for you at Danny Burns Ministries, to help you grow in your faith and fulfil your God-given purpose as you walk with God.
