Today more than ever your voice and your presence are needed in the midst of this present ungodly age to prepare, exhort and lead the Church of Jesus Christ from a place of fearfulness to fearlessness.  I know that's a weighty statement and I truly do not want to add to the weight you already carry.  In fact, I want to encourage you in the Word of the Lord as you go forth with greater zeal to lead the way of your congregation to go, stand, speak, pray, and minister.

Romans 10:14 declares: How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

The Church of Jesus Christ is God's chosen beacon of light in the earth and His chosen military company to war against the prevailing wickedness hovering over our cities, states, and nation. As God's appointed leader of His Church, pastor and ministry leaders, it's time to marshal the troops to access the weapons of warfare, the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the Sovereignty of God.

The Equality Act Reintroduced In US Congress, Putting Women, Children, Businesses, and Ministries at Risk

Last week, Center for Christian Virtue issued an Action Alert about the terrible harm to women, children and girl athletes these bills will inflict. Read more here.

What these bills propose to fix is not broken. Discrimination of persons IS already illegal across the country. Diversity and inclusion IS the norm for today in government, business, education and healthcare in culture.

What will be undermined by these bills is the right of Conscience which IS a freedom established by Almighty God and protected by the Constitution. These proposed bills seek to snuff out the light of Christians and mute the Good News message of Jesus Christ from the marketplace and every public place by defining us as bigots and the Gospel as hate speech. It will be a matter of time before it will reach the pulpit. Is this no cause for the voice of the Church to sound against these unequal and unfair-to-all public policy initiatives? God will judge us if we don’t stand up and speak out.

The Center for Christian Virtue urges all Christians, pastors, para-church and ministry leaders to contact U.S. Senators Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown and tell them to Oppose HR 5. You can use CCV’s Action Center to send a quick note to your senators on this dangerous bill. Click Here.
