Last summer, my church participated in Call2Fall, a well-intentioned call to pray for our nation’s leaders. There were two problems I had with the whole thing as a worship leader at the church. First, we should be praying for our leaders every time we gather. Second, the primary impetus for praying was the infamous 2 Chronicles passage, ripped from context. I drew up the following document and submitted it to my pastor for his review, detailing my concerns for using the 2 Chronicles passage out of context. I was subsequently allowed to rewrite the text for the flyer, which was to Pastor Dave’s (and the elder board’s) credit.
