It's time to reach out to our friends and family.

Psalm 94:20-23 (New Living Translation)

20 Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side — leaders whose decrees permit injustice?
21 They gang up against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord is my fortress; my God is the mighty rock where I hide.
23 God will turn the sins of evil people back on them. He will destroy them for their sins. The Lord our God will destroy them.

Christian Coalition of America

Dear Conservative Friend,

No more restrictions on abortion.
That's what the proposed "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA) would mean.
No more waiting periods. No more parental notification. No more ban on partial-birth abortion.

And Barack Obama promised Planned Parenthood he would sign it into law.
In fact, over the past three months, we've seen Obama's level of commitment to promote a liberal abortion agenda.
Within minutes of taking the Oath of Office, the official White House website was changed to add language supporting pro-abortion policies.
He has appointed numerous liberals from pro-abortion organizations like Emily’s List and the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) to critical positions in the government.

Taxpayer Funding of Abortion…
Just days after being sworn in as President, Obama reversed the Bush policy against taxpayer funding for abortions overseas. Another campaign promise kept.
Congressional liberals even tried to use the “cover” of the economic stimulus bill to provide further taxpayer funding for “family planning” services.

What is FOCA?
In short, the Freedom of Choice Act is a federal bill that would end almost ALL restrictions on abortion. It is an unlimited right to tax-payer funded, abortion-on-demand. And liberals are pushing hard to get is passed.

The “Freedom of Choice Act” would:


End parental notification or consent for abortions performed on minors
Mandate taxpayer funding of abortion
Allow abortions in military hospitals
End waiting periods before having an abortion
Overturn laws requiring informed consent prior to abortion
Deny doctors the right to refuse to perform abortion for religious reasons
Force religious affiliated hospitals and facilities to perform abortions
Overturn many abortion clinic health regulations
Overturn laws prohibiting abortion after the viability of the child
Legalize partial-birth abortion

Sign FOCA Petition

Warren's 'backsliding' on marriage damages church

A Washington, DC, pastor and outspoken opponent of same-sex "marriage" says California mega-church pastor Rick Warren has done "tremendous damage" by apologizing for his support last fall of California's marriage protection amendment.

Rick Warren said Monday on CNN's Larry King Live that he has "never been and never will be" an "anti-gay marriage activist," and made a point to inform the program's host that he apologized to his homosexual friends for comments he made in October to his church in support of Proposition 8 in California.

Americans support conscience rights for doctors

Early last month the Obama Administration moved to rescind a current regulation the protects the conscience rights of America's health care workers. Meaning they would no longer be able to decline to perform health care related "services", (ie: abortion), on the grounds of their conscience and/or religious convictions.So how do Americans feel about this issue? Well, thanks to a survey conducted on behalf of the Christian Medical Association, we now have a poll which answers that question.

Update On Sharon Ries On Monday, Sharon had the lumpectomy and biopsy and came through the procedure well. They found cancer in the sentinel node and in 12 lymph nodes, so they removed all of her lymph nodes.
Due to lab test results, it is recommended that Sharon return for a simple mastectomy, the removal of her left breast. This procedure will take place within the next two weeks. It has also been recommended that she follow with chemo and radiation.
She is seeking the Lord’s guidance through each step of her treatment and knows the Lord is guiding her. During her surgery, Sharon had a vision of the Lord standing by her bed, watching over her and an angel in the room, protecting her. The Lord comforted her with this verse, “…I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5).
Sharon would like to thank everyone for the cards, flowers, scriptures, phone calls and love. She is rejoicing in God’s perfect will for her life. Though she walks through this valley, she knows she is with her Lord.
She is very excited about spending Easter with her family and has been busy getting her house ready for the celebration.
Please continue to pray for her and our family.
Souls for Christ,

Raul Ries

Dear Friend,
Following the Iowa Supreme Court's unanimous ruling Friday that overturned state law protecting marriage as between a man and a woman, organizations across the country are urging ALL citizens to contact Iowa lawmakers. The Iowa House DOES have the ability to protect marriage by passing House Joint Resolution 6 (HJR 6), known as the Iowa Marriage Amendment.
HJR 6 is the first step toward giving Iowans the chance to vote to protect marriage, in response to the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage ruling.
In order to debate HJR 6, the House must force it out of committee with a procedural vote. The House Republicans are prepared to initiate this procedural vote, but to pass it they need your help!
Take Action
Please contact the House Democrats listed below, and ask them to vote to bring HJR 6 out of committee. These legislators have indicated they support traditional marriage and therefore, they SHOULD vote to bring the IMA out of committee.

Romans 1:24-25 (New International Version)

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
