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

By: American Decency Staff

The day of our summer conference is fast approaching:  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. 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. 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.

Read below this excerpt from Gary Bauer’s daily email from June 22, 2011 The Culture War In addition to NBC’s boneheaded decision to cut God out of the Pledge, a few items in the news lately have caught my attention. While seemingly unrelated, they are all evidence of the left’s war against free enterprise and traditional values. Warning To Parents! This week, Disney’s Cars 2 will hit movie theaters and is widely expected to be a big hit. But, according to director John Lasseter, the movie’s “uber bad guyâ€Â is — you guessed it — “Big Oil.â€Â Millions of our children will be taught in this movie that our energy industry is evil. Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart went on Fox News Sunday last weekend and denied that there was a left-wing bias in the media — not even at the New York Times. But Stewart also emphatically declared that Fox’s conservative viewers are ignorant and that every poll proved they are “consistently misinformed.â€Â As usual, reality is very different from the left’s view of things. Politifact labeled Stewart’s claim “false.â€Â In fact, Fox viewers are among the best informed, according to a recent poll. Al Gore, guardian of the planet, has jumped on the population control bandwagon. Speaking in New York City this week Gore appeared to compare children to pollution. Gore said, “One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women. You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management…â€Â Whatever Gore was referring to, it is undeniable that many on the left view humanity as a virulent disease that is giving Mother Earth a fever. Many committed environmentalist are refusing to have children. Abortion-on-demand and euthanasia fit neatly into the green agenda. It is why liberal politicians will fight to prevent Wal-Mart from opening new stores, even though it creates jobs. And the same politicians will fight to protect taxpayer-funding of Planned Parenthood, whose main goal is to ensure that unborn children don’t make it out of the womb alive. As I have often said before, the culture war is real and only one side can prevail. Whose values will we pass on to our children and grandchildren? The next election could well decide the outcome. ========================================================== Your support is important to our ability to make a difference.
