A Call to the National Black Robe Regiment
By Pastor Chris Thomas
To all of the men and women that comprise the ranks of the National Black Robe Regiment (NBRR), as a pastor in the trenches who is working not only to get his parishioners to become active in flexing the muscle of faith, but is pressing for the entirety of my particular denomination to step up as well, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service. Your work is not easy, and yet you are fighting the good fight. Rest assured that your labor is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). Having said this, here’s what I am humbly asking of those of you who will read my words. Take this article, make as many copies as are necessary, and send it out to as many of the pastors you know who are not presently engaging in the issues of the public square. Let this be a communication from one pastor to another. Read more.

David Barton Wins Lawsuit!
For years, David Barton has been fighting against unjust and spurious claims against his character and the character of his WallBuilders by simply using his vast collection of original books and documents to remind Americans of the truth. However, when the misleading allegations continued to grow, David filed a defamation lawsuit to set the record straight. This suit was recently settled in David's favor with his receiving a large settlement and an apology for the unjustified assertions that were made. To learn more about the recent lawsuit and settlement, read the World Net Daily Article, "David Barton Wins Million-Dollar Defamation Suit" or the one written by Charisma, "The Unsuspecting Thing Conservative Historian David Barton Did With $1 Million Awarded to Him in Defamation Lawsuit."

What makes this different from other “flash mobs” is that the lyrics were given out in a high-quality gospel tract form (so that anyone could join in with the singing). “Fortunately the singing at the Rivertown Mall was video-taped, and it brought tears to my eyes,” says Ray Comfort, who came up with the idea. “In the clip you can see people holding the tracts as they sing, and at the beginning security guards are walking through the crowd not knowing who to stop.

Founders Bible article on Proverbs 29:2, The Key to Good Government, page 987. Charles Finney said: The Church must take right ground in regard to politics...Politics are a part of a religion in such a country as this and Christians must do their duty to the country as a part of their duty to God.

 
An Appeal to Heaven
We look at our country and polling shows that more than three fourths of the nation thinks we're headed in the wrong direction.  We need to see some significant changes.  II Chronicles 7:14 is the well known passage in which God promises that if we, who are called by His name, will humble ourselves and pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways, He will hear from heaven and heal our land. Certainly America's health and healing starts with prayer and other generations definitely understood this.  By 1815, there had been over 1,400 government issued prayers in America.  In fact, John Hancok himself personally issued 22 prayer proclomations.  But John Hancok undertood that prayer by itself is not enough.  That we couldn't just stop with prayer.  He wrote, "I urge you, by all that is dear, by all that is honorable, by all that is sacred, not only that ye pray, but that ye act."  Go to Video.
2 Chronicles 7:14 And My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Because of my Christian Faith

By Todd Starnes
Kelvin Cochran was five-years-old when he realized that he wanted to be a firefighter. “My family was very, very poor,” Cochran told me. “We were living in a shotgun house in an alley – three big brothers, two little sisters.” One Sunday afternoon the Cochran children heard a fire truck stop across from their neighbor’s home. Miss Maddie’s house was one fire. “It’s a frightening day in the United States when a person cannot express their faith without fears of persecution following,” White told me. “It’s persecution... Read more.

The First Step Toward Defeating Islamist Terrorism
By David Horovitz
Op-ed: It is Europe’s free press, its freedom of expression, and thus its very civilization, that the Islamists behind the Paris attack seek to destroy. Only if the West internalizes the scale of the threat will it stand a chance of vanquishing it By David Horovitz Speaking to Israeli television from Paris on Wednesday night, hours after gunmen shouting “Allahu Akbar” had shot dead 12 people at the offices of the “Charlie Hebdo” satirical magazine, the French-Jewish parliamentarian Meyer Habib called the massacre France’s 9/11 Read more.
