CBN NewsThe 700 ClubPrayerDonate The Weekly Rundown June 4, 2022    7:00 AM EDT IT MATTERS. It's been a very sobering three weeks with a number of shootings around the country. On May 14, an 18-year-old walked into a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and murdered 10 people. Ten days later on May 24 in Uvalde, Texas, another 18-year-old gunman murdered 19 children and two adults. Authorities continue to investigate the time it took for law enforcement to breach that elementary school. This week, a man opened fire at a medical facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma, killing two doctors, a patient and a receptionist. The president of that health system says they're "an organization that believes in the power of prayer" and have asked people to keep praying for them. Also on Wednesday, a man began shooting at a graduation party full of people in West Virginia. He was stopped by a heroic woman who was armed with a handgun. On Thursday, President Biden called for stricter gun control laws and later that night, a man shot and killed two Iowa State University students outside of a Church in Ames, Iowa. In response to the three-week wave of shootings, Democrat lawmakers in the House are trying to bring new gun control legislation to the Floor and Canada is seeking to ban handgun importation, purchases and sales. Law enforcement officers are sharing that they're being attacked across the country simply because they're in uniform. "Have we lost the restraint in our culture?" asked Gordon Robertson on The 700 Club the morning after the Uvalde massacre. "Should we not humble ourselves and pray, and ask God to heal our land? What is it that restrains? It's a spiritual force. We need God's hand, and we need it desperately in our country today."   HAPPENING HERE. On Wednesday, a Wisconsin Circuit Court judge refused to dismiss the legal case two sets of parents brought against their local school district. Here's why the parents say they still have the right to direct the upbringing and pronouns applied to their young children. Michigan's Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Michigan Atty. General Dana Nessel (D) have vowed to disobey Michigan's law that bans abortions, if Roe v. Wade is overturned and abortion decisions are returned to states. Here's what that means. Seventy missing children were recovered in Texas recently during "Operation Lost Souls." They were victims of trafficking and abuse; here's the story. Amazon employees who don't like their employer selling Johnny the Walrus by Matt Walsh, or the book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters, staged a "die in" this week in Seattle. Here's why. A Southern Baptist pastor in Mobile, Alabama was mistakenly identified as someone on the recently-released SBC list of abusers. Mobile's NBC-15 showed a photo of Dr. Charles Brown, who retired after 45 years of pastoring, and linked him to a different Charles Brown from a church in Evergreen, AL. Dr. Christopher Yuan was an HIV-positive gay man who landed in prison for dealing drugs but it proved to be the catalyst to finding freedom in Christ. Here's his remarkable story. Coming Soon!

This week, 240 South Korean Christians on intercession teams have blanketed 21 different cities in the United States, praying for healing and revival to sweep America. They chose the 49th Anniversary of Billy Graham's historic 1973 crusade in Seoul, which drew more than three million people and is credited, by many in South Korea, with leading to the explosion of the Church in that country.    Would you like prayer this weekend?

On CBN's 700 Club, Keith Thibodeaux describes being "tormented by demons" until Jesus Christ set him free. Here's his story. On Monday, Disney launched its new "Pride Collection," an LGBTQIA+ themed clothing line for children. The entertainment giant announced that through June 30, all profits made from this clothing line will be donated to "organizations that support LGBTQIA+ youth and families." Here's Disney's statement. Kirk Cameron is calling out America's public schools for becoming incubators for far-left progressive agendas. "It's so sad to say they're doing more for grooming, for sexual chaos and the progressive left than any real educating about the things that most of us want to teach our kids," he said in a recent interview. The solution? Cameron says it's home education, and his new documentary, The Homeschool Awakening will be available in theaters June 13 and 14 only.
