Saints QB Drew Brees Urges Students To Bring Bible To School
New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees is encouraging students to ‘live out’ their faith and bring their Bibles to school on Thursday, October 3 as part of an event sponsored by Focus on the Family. Brees, a Super Bowl-winning quarterback and the NFL’s all-time leading passer, recorded a video to promote the annual event Bring Your Bible to School Day.
“One of my favorite verses in the Bible is 2 Corinthians 5:7 – ‘for we live by faith, not by sight,’” Brees said in the video. “So I want to encourage you to live out your faith on Bring Your Bible to School Day to share God’s love with friends. You’re not alone.”
Bring Your Bible to School Day, according to the event’s website, is a day in which “students across the nation will celebrate religious freedom and share God’s love with their friends.” Participation is voluntary and student-led. The event is legal, the website says.

Local Pastor Releases New Book On Prayer, Prophecy And Praise
Pastor Jamal E. Quinn of Firm Foundation Christian Fellowship in Riverview recently published the book The Power of Prayer, Prophecy and Praise.
Pastor Quinn’s book synopsis states that “All throughout the Bible there are three powerful spiritual weapons that have enabled the people of God to get the victory despite trials, tribulations, troubles, temptations and the attacks of the enemy. They are prayer, prophecy and praise. The Bible says that a threefold cord is not easily broken in Ecclesiastes 4:12. These three powerful weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God to the pulling down of strongholds according to 2 Corinthians 10:4.”
The new book is available for pre-order in the Kindle Store to view or on Amazon.com. Customers who pre-order the book will receive the content on its release date of October 7.
