I came across an article today about the “Highway of Holiness” campaign in which a group of Christians are holding prayer vigils and "purity sieges" to save those at bars, gay clubs and abortion clinics in cities along I-35 from Laredo to Duluth. The group claims the highway is specifically mentioned in the Bible and it is their job to reclaim it for Christ.
According to Light The Highway, the worldwide movement is driving thousands to prayer on the interstate. Christians said the Old Testament's book of Isaiah prophesizes I-35 will be the United States' "Highway of Holiness."
Still, all hope isn't lost: other Christians even think this campaign is a little off:
Pastor Greg McDonell of Central Presbyterian Church advertises a congregation accepting of all, including homosexuals. McDonell said though he loves all his Christian brothers and sisters, the Isaiah connection to I-35 is not only absurd, but the movement is misguided. He said so much prayer should go toward helping those who are hungry and sick.
