A special request to join us for such a time as this

By: American Decency Staff

The day of our summer conference is only two short days away: Friday, July 29! Our guest speaker for this year’s summer event is Gary Bauer, former head of Family Research Council and founder and President of American Values and Campaign for Working Families. Bauer is a faithful, “true blueâ€Â warrior for Christ speaking boldly in some of the toughest arenas in our nation. We have added 42 new registrants within the last 48 hours!  People understand that Gary Bauer brings great insight and impact wherever he goes including and especially Washington! As you know, we are living in perilous times.   To get a sense of his passion, see a few excerpts from one of Gary Bauer’s recent daily alerts below. You are one, I believe, that cares deeply about Biblical truth and its advancement in America. There are very few times that I call out to you with a special request. This is one of those times. If you are within driving distance, I am asking you to come yourself to hear Gary Bauer and invite others, as well.   I encourage you, too, to bring younger ones in their teens and even those aged ten to twelve. Our youth need to have their hearts and minds challenged, exhorted and warned of the dangers that are facing us and the need for Christians to let their light shine. Time is running very short!  Make your reservation now. I urge you today to first commit to be here on this big day and then engage others to make a commitment to join us.   This will be a powerful evening. Let us hear from you soon!   You know, as I do, that the days are increasingly wicked. We need to understand the times and push back with God’s helping hand and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Please be in prayer for this event, my friend. As God leads, please join with us as we come together for a strong call to stand up for such a time as this. Register today for this significant summer evening of inspirational singing, encouragement and prayerful exhortation by Gary Bauer.

However, we do ask that you register so that we have an accurate number of attendees and can plan accordingly. Read below this excerpt from Gary Bauer’s daily email from July 25, 2011 Norwegian Terrorist No Christian Both the Washington Post and the New York Times have run headlines labeling Anders Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer, a "right-wing Christian." These are the same two newspapers that go to great lengths to avoid using the word "Muslim" to describe Islamist murderers. They regularly warn us not to jump to conclusions about any jihadist attack, and they lecture us not to reach any conclusions about the role the Muslim religion might have played. All of these "rules" have apparently been cast aside as the two papers, and countless other commentators, try to make Breivik into a conservative Christian. I can assure you that Anders Breivik was not a follower of Jesus Christ. I can say that with confidence because neither he nor anyone else can cite one word from the teachings of Christ that would justify his evil actions. His murderous rampage is a repudiation of the whole body of Christ's teachings. The same cannot be said about the teachings of Muhammad, which contain many statements that can be used to justify murder. No one can find one Christian theologian, reputable pastor, denominational leader, Christian author or philosopher who will attempt to defend Breivik's actions. Unfortunately, many imams, Muslim leaders and mosques will defend Islamists who intentionally kill civilians, including children. In Breivik's 1,500 page "manifesto," it is clear that he hates Islam and wants Europe to rediscover its Christian culture. Breivik likes violent video games. His favorite TV show is Dexter, a series that glorifies a serial killer. One also finds in his ramblings that he is a follower of Charles Darwin, seldom if ever prays, says it is possible to be a "Christian atheist," and adds, "I'm not going to pretend I'm a very religious person." Breivik doesn't have to pretend he is a religious man — the Washington Post and the New York Times will pretend for him. ========================================================== Your support is important to our ability to make a difference.
