 | | Friend --
As we close this years' Nation Day of Prayer, I wanted to update you and share with you how God hears are prayers, but sometimes in a different time then we expected.
I just learned today that the young female staffer I worked to get away from the Chairman of the US House the Defense Committee, who offered her sex in exchange for a job in 2006, is now wonderfully married with a newborn boy! Praise the Lord, that when we sometimes don't see the fruit from the hardest things we go through, He hears our prayers in His season.
In the same way, I am now working for the same David Barton, who 16 years ago who inspired me with this question, who is going to the darkest places of the earth who is going as a light to the smoke filled room of politics.
The goal of David Barton's new ministry to pastors is that it would be a network of national and local pastors and pastor groups that equips and empowers pastors to engage in their Biblical and historical role to stand boldly for righteousness and transform society through spiritual and cultural engagement. Below I've included a sample of the weekly newsletter we send out to help Christians pray and act to heal our nation.
Sincerely,
MD Sias

The big themes that one walks away with is that America is getting older, less white, less religious, less traditional, and less patriotic. These trends suggest big questions regarding the future of the country and what the implications are regarding our politics and public policy. Read more..

An ethical lesson from the Nixon White House: Set your boundaries early and sink them in granite. That's the best way to avoid being the star of headlines like those that recently appeared at just about the same time.
