HARVEST

I Still Believe

MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER

Congressional leaders have decided to start their summer recess early. That means we have just 3 days to get our petitions to Congress and press Members of Congress to defend free speech.

I have instructed my staff to make one more emergency petition delivery to the 30 key lawmakers in the House who can tip the scales on this issue--urging them to let the Broadcaster Freedom Act come to the floor for a full and fair up-or-down vote before they leave!

That means, if we reach our goal of 200,000 petitions, MRC representatives will be delivering 6 million petitions this week!

But in order to reach our 200,000 petitions goal, we need another 20,000 petitions in the next 48 hours.

JOSHUA, please forward this alert to 25-30
friends and family members urging them to take a
stand for the preservation of our First Amendment Rights

+ + Liberals want to silence conservative speech!

This second delivery is critical, in my opinion, because the American people deserve to know where their Member of Congress stands on this vital First Amendment issue.

We need to put them on notice that we aren't going to allow the looming threat of the "Fairness Doctrine" and government censorship to be held over our heads.

+ + Breaking Pelosi's gag order

Since our last petition presentation, we've learned that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has placed what amounts to a "gag order"
on House members regarding this bill.

Pelosi hasn't been shy about her desire to stifle free speech on the airwaves and is eager to keep the Fairness Doctrine alive.

That's why we must continue to press harder--via phone calls, faxes and petitions until the pressure becomes too great, and Congress does the right thing by bringing the Broadcaster Freedom Act to the floor.

We must deliver 200,000 petitions to Congress by this Friday!

JOSHUA, I don't have to tell you what is at stake if we don't win this battle, and I know I can count on you to help push us past our goal. Don’t let Congress go on vacation before holding an up or down vote on the Broadcaster Freedom Act.

Thank you for your incredible support!

Broadcaster freedom Act, H.R. 2905

7/29/2008

I just signed a petition opposing the so-called "Fairness Doctrine"
and similar efforts to silence conservative leaders like Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and Sean Hannity.

Now I understand that liberal leaders are blocking an effort to protect the rights of conservatives.

Please join me in signing this petition:

Maranatha

WHAT DOES "MARANATHA" MEAN?"

Maranatha" itself is an ancient Hebrew-Aramaic word that meant alternatively, "the Lord is coming soon," or "Oh, Lord, Come Soon." It was part of the Jewish congregational prayers in the first century. It occurs in the New Testament in 1 Cor. 16:22 (the Aramaic word is transliterated into Greek letters in the text). The word came into English as a transliteration as well, along with a few other Hebrew words ("Hallelujah" and "Hosanna" are other common examples).

The Theology of Resting in God

When We Are Afraid, the least we can do is pray to God. But our Lord has a right to expect that those who name His name have an underlying confidence in Him. God expects His children to be so confident in Him that in any crisis they are the ones who are reliable. Yet our trust is only in God up to a certain point, then we turn back to the elementary panic-stricken prayers of those people who do not even know God. We come to our wit's end, showing that we don't have even the slightest amount of confidence in Him or in His sovereign control of the world. To us He seems to be asleep, and we can see nothing but giant, breaking waves on the sea ahead of us.
"...O you have little faith!" What a stinging pain must have shot through the disciples as they surely thought to themselves, "We missed the mark again!" And what a sharp pain will go throught us when we suddenly realize that we could have produced complete and utter joy in the heart of Jesus by remaining absolutely confident in Him, in spite of what we were facing.
There are times when there is no storm or crisis in our lives, and we do all that is humanly possible. But it is when a crisis arises that we instantly reveal upon whom we rely. If we have been learning to worship God and to place our trust in Him, the crisis will reveal that we can go to the point of breaking, yet without breaking our confidence in Him.
We have been talking quite a lot about sanctification, but what will be the results in our lives? It will expressed in our lives as a peaceful resting in God, which means a total oneness with Him. And this oneness will make us not only blameless in His sight, but also a profound joy to Him.

Matthew 8:26
