Fight Back Against the ACLU

NEWS: Continuing its assault on Christianity, the ACLU is using intimidation tactics against Montana State University-Northern (MSU-N) about having prayer during graduation. The ACLU said the school needed to review its ceremonies that contained prayer during graduation, and the school needed to apologize for allowing a pastor to pray during the commencement.

Here's some news for the ACLU: the First Amendment does not require universities to purge their ceremonies of everything religious!

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT: You can contact MSU-N to encourage them to not give in to this intimidation. You can call the school at 1-800.662.6132 or write:

The Army of 7,000

God and Country Ministry is excited to announce a new program called "The Army of 7,000." It is a group of Christians part of a minuteman style quick-reaction force. When an e-mail alert is sent, they take action on it by contacting their legislators.

If 7,000 Christians per state become "active duty" and contact their legislators on a topic, they could stop or get the needed votes to pass any law in their state.

The name of the group comes from the Biblical account of Elijah. He felt alone when fighting against the evil that had taken over his country, but God encouraged him in I Kings 19:18 by saying, "Yet I have left me 7,000 in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal..." There are other faithful Christians who are willing to stand up and be counted. You can be one of them by joining The Army of 7,000.

Unlike "News & What You Can Do About It" (the page you're on now) e-mail alerts for "The Army of 7,000" will be automatically sent to those who have 'enlisted.' You can join The Army of 7,000 by clicking here.

Standing with God's People

NEWS: Israel has come under heavy criticism from the international community because of its raid on a flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip. These ships were boarded to stop the flow of rockets into Gaza that so often strike at the people. These ships housed people with terrorist ties, and video taken during the incident shows that it was only as a last result that the Israelis opened fire, as members of the Turkish crew attacked and beat Israelis who were trying to inspect the ship. It is Israel's right to secure its boarders, and to take steps to defend its citizens.

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT: When it comes to Israel, the Bible says in Genesis 12:3: "I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee..." One of the reasons America has been so blessed in the past is because of its strong stand with Israel. God will honor His Word regarding how we treat His chosen people. As America's relationship with Israel has been deteriorating, please pray that our leaders will stand with Israel in this event. It is for the Israeli's good as well as our own.
