VALLEY FORGE NATIONAL PARK
4th Annual Prayer in the Park
FFCPA held our 4th Annual 'Prayer in the Park" picnic and prayer event at Valley Forge Park. We were blessed with good weather and a wonderful group of people. Our country is in a special time of turmoil and division. What better place to reach out to God than the hallowed ground of Valley Forge Park. My special thanks to the individuals who prayed for specific issues in the country. Some of them pictured here.
May God bless everyone who attended and God Bless America.

FFCPA goes to City on the Hill
This year FFCPA had the honor of sponsoring two young folks to the Pa. Family Council's City on the Hill summer camp. It is held at the Lancaster Bible College Campus where the students get a feel for college life while learning how to be knowledgeable future leaders with a solid Biblical World view. They learn how to create, argue their points and get legislation through the Pa. State Capitol Senate. We are very proud of the two young people we sent. They are Jaidan and Alica Piper. Good luck to them in their future rolls as Christian Citizens in America.
A number of FFCPA members attended the first Life Action Conference sponsored by the Pennsylvania Family Institute.
They had sessions Tuesday evening,[7/23] and all day Wednesday 7/24]. The conference featured speakers from across the country who are on the front lines of the Right To Life battles. The key note speaker was Scott Klusendorf, founder of the Life Training Institute. The training he brought to us all was invaluable while discussing the Pro Life/Pro Choice debate with other people. Lets hope we all can get a chance to learn this information. There were other top notch speakers who gave us all encouragement while dealing with this most important issue. Pa., Watch out, we are in the bullseye.

We hope that you and your family have a wonderful Independence Day! John Adams once described what he thought Independence Day should look like. Here's what he said:
"[It]...will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.—I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival.
It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty.
It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."
Hat tip to Rick Green for the post.

An Easter Message
I write to you as this beautiful morning dawns, and millions of people around the world celebrate and honor our Lord Jesus Christ. We honor Him for his love and sacrifice for every person in this troubled and sinful world.
Wow, its hard to wrap my brain around something this profound. For a long time I struggled with this concept even after I accepted Christ. It was a matter of letting go of my past and truly and totally trusting God to rule my life. Only then did I feel secure in my choices.
I do have this one belief that I am completely convinced is true and unarguable.
The instant that our physical life comes to an end and our eyes blink shut for the last time, what happens next is totally out of our control. This portion of our being is over, and we have zero control over what happens next. From that instant on, we are at God's mercy. It is a sobering thought. Our future is completely dependent on the decisions we have make Before that moment. I gathered all the best information available, felt God pulling me towards Him, and said yes. It was the simplest and hardest decision I ever made.
That is what makes this sunrise today such a beautiful thing to behold. Jesus has made our future such an easy thing to chart with a glorious next step for us all. It is just a decision away. Ten seconds out of the rest of our lives. Please, make this decision if you haven't already done so. God's Holy Spirit is calling you through Jesus. It is the reason for the season.
God Bless you and God Bless America.

Faith and Freedom Christian Citizenship Foundation in fellowship with FFCPA held two incredible teaching sessions on Christian Citizenship and our Cultural Mandate. We were blessed to be invited to the Valley Forge Baptist Temple in Trappe, Pa. for the Pa. event.
We hosted Craig Seibert, founder of the Institute for Christian Citizenship and Statesmanship in Charlotte, N. C. . Craig has been teaching these values and principles for many years and all who attended came away with a much clearer understanding of our founders intent and our Christian responsibilities in today's world.

FFCPA Goes to Washington
To END the GPO/PBM Safe Harbor Legal Kickback System
On Friday, March 22, Members of the Faith and Freedom Coalition Mid-Atlantic Alliance, the Black Pastors Alliance and Dr. Marion Mass from Physicians For Reform and Practicing Physicians of America, went to Washington DC. We were honored to have 5 Black Pastors from different states attend and express their vital concerns for their communities. We met with Legislative staff members from both political parties to build coalition support for legislation which would repeal the destructive and illegal kick backs and pay to play schemes that have cost the American citizens Hundreds of Billions of dollars since 2006.
The Group Purchasing Organization,[GPO] and Pharmaceutical Benefits Managers, [PBM] are a cartel of middle men who by law can and do receive kick backs from almost every manufacturer of medical supplies and equipment and pharmaceutical manufacturer of medicines. These kick back/pay to play schemes cost the consumer many billions of dollars PER YEAR in health care cost and drug shortages.
We met with Senior Legislative Staff Member Chonya Davis Johnson for Rep. Joyce Beatty,[Democrat,Ohio] and Paul A. Fitzpatrick, Chief of Staff for Rep. Mark Meadows,[Republican, North Carolina]. We came away very encouraged that both Representative's offices are concerned about this critical situation. We urge ALL legislators to work together in creating legislation to repeal once and for all the GPO/PMB Kickback Safe Harbor part of our health care system. There is much to be done. Please come join us.
Thank you and God Bless,

For decades, the healthcare industry has been a pawn in a dangerous and unethical game of “pay-to-play”. It’s the dirty little secret behind the outrageous cost of medications and the shortages of many drug and medical supplies.
Unfortunately, a law was passed that allows these medical market “middlemen” to accept kickback payments from drug and medical supply companies in exchange for exclusive sales contracts! It created a government-sanctioned system of racketeering that would be illegal in any other industry. Here’s the good news – A group of caring doctors, policy makers and community leaders have identified the simple solution that will save billions of dollars for Americans suffering from astronomical drug prices and drug shortages: Repeal the so-called "Safe Harbor" law that allows medical market middlemen to take kickbacks from drug and medical supply companies.

"I HAVE SET WATCHMEN ON YOUR WALLS"
July 26, 7pm
FFCPA in partnership with CUFI, [Christians United For Israel], and Christian Jewish Alliance, had the great honor to be part of a two meeting schedule with Major Elliot Chadoff.One meeting in Newark, De. and one in Lancaster, Pa.
Major Chadoff is a reserve officer in the Israeli Defense Force[IDF] with over 30 years military and strategic experience.. He had tremendous information as to the actual state of affairs in the Middle East along with some insights as to the major power players over there and their long term goals. No one walked away without saying, WOW, that was worth the drive.!!
A big shout out to Don Feldman in Lancaster for setting the meeting up.
Almost 100 people came out and joined with CUFI to hear Major Elliot Chodoff and his unique view of what is happening on the ground in the middle east. Very interesting and filled with information that you won't get anywhere else. Here is his talk he gave this month at the CUFI Conference.

ROAD TO MAJORITY 2018
Hello Everyone,
Whew...what a conference! Hopefully all got home safe.
We can only say thank you. Thank you for all who attended. We are blessed to know you all. The take away message is that we have every right to be hopeful. BUT we can lose it all in November if we... us..... "We the People" do not get out and work before this next election. Can we count on you to help FFCPA get it done?? I pray that we all can help in some way.
So thanks and God Bless,

We can only say thank you. Thank you for all who attended. We are blessed to know you all. The take away message is that we have every right to be hopeful.

REKINDLE THE FIRE
On Saturday May 12th the Mid-Atlantic Faith and Freedom Coalition held the first Rekindle the Fire event for people of the Catholic faith in Wilmington, De. There was a great number of people from all over Delaware who attended to learn what Catholics can do to get back into the spiritual fight for our God given rights and resisting the constant efforts to remove our rights to worship where and when we want. This event will produce long term results and more plans are in the works. Lets see how we in Pennsylvania can move this spirit in to Pennsylvania.
The speakers included MGSR Charles Pope and John Horvat.

Candidates Coming to Your Community
This weekend (April 21-22) two of Pennsylvania's candidates for governor where in SE PA, Paul Mango and Laura Ellsworth. FFCPA was there to hear what they had to say.
We encourage all people of faith to take the time to go see the candidates to ask questions and hear what they have to say so you can make an informed decision when you vote in the upcoming primary. The primary is probably the most important election. It is your chance to decide which candidates you think most align with your faith, are capable of doing the job and are able to win in the general election.

Annual Commonwealth Prayer Breakfast
FFCPA was invited to the Annual Commonwealth Prayer Breakfast in Camp Hill by Rob Fields, Executive Director of the Leaders of Faith Foundation. It was particularly important because earlier this past week I had spent the day in the capitol building meeting with legislators on different topics of interest. Many of them were at this breakfast so I had a chance to follow up with them.
The Key Note Speaker was Mark Finlay. Mark was born in Belfast, Ireland and now travels the world speaking to national leaders about leadership reconciliation. He used 2 Corinthians 5: 18-20 as his key verses. Thank you to all the public servants who attended.

Faith & Freedom
at the
Annual Pennsylvania Leadership Conference
This past weekend was the Annual Pennsylvania Leadership Conference, in Camp Hill, Pa. This gathering of Conservative faith loving people from across Pennsylvania has been going for 30 years. As a Co-Sponsor, it gives FFCPA an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas and network with other organizations that have similar beliefs and goals.
This year with so many state wide election races, we were able to meet and talk with many of the candidates running for different offices, including the Governor's and Lt. Governors spots on the Republican side. For some reason, none of the Democrats were visible.
Faith and Freedom Coalition Pennsylvania had a very good presence with a bunch of first timers. We will see dividends in the coming year from this investment in our countries future.
Pictured are some of the our folks at the FFCPA Banquet table and Gubernatorial Candidate Paul Mango and his running mate, Diana Irey Vaughon who stopped by to say Hi. Journalist Byron York was the Key note Speaker.
We need your support to continue to do God's work across. Pa. Please help if you can.
God Bless,

with National Speaker
KrisAnne Hall
FFCPA had the great honor of hosting the nationally known Constitution speaker KrisAnne Hall and her husband JC, on March 24th. We held the event in the Mother of Divine Parish Hall in King Of Prussia, Pa. We are extremely grateful to Fran Boyle and Susan Dugary for all their help in getting this event organized.
KrissAnne and JC brought a message that every concerned American needs to hear. With her understanding of the moral crisis in America today and the blueprint that was designed by our founding fathers to correct these challenges, we all had a real education presented to us. Faith and Freedom Coalition Pennsylvania would highly recommend KrisAnne Hall to anyone as a inspirational speaker guest.

Tuesday 12/12, we had our second annual Legislation day in Harrisburg. The purpose is to get our legislators familiar with FFCPA and our goals. It is important that our members know that they Do have a voice and we are important to the process of creating public policy and laws that affect our religious freedom's and liberties.
We had a good turn out with a constant parade of legislators coming through.

FFCPA Goes to Washington
Our Trip to the Supreme Court in Washington DC this past Tuesday was a resounding success. Thanks to the Pa. Family Institute for organizing the whole event, including transportation, food and free tickets to the brand new Bible Museum. FFCPA had about 20 people at the rally. Thank you one and all.
The sound of " We Got your Back Jack" for Jack Phillips, rings in my ears for the Colorado Baker who is being forced to decide between his business or his Religious convictions, is on the line.
Please pray that God has moved the hearts and spirits of the Justice's and a God centered decision will be reached.

George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation 1789
|
By the President of the United States of America,
a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our |
|
safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

Faith & Freedom's 2017 Summer Picnics
2017 has been a very exciting year so far. One of the best parts has been the two FFCPA picnics we held in different parts of the state. One week we had one in Chester County, and then another picnic for the folks in the Montgomery County area.
This is an opportunity for God loving people who support our nation and religious freedoms to have fellowship and break bread together. These people come from many different faith back grounds and church experiences.
The value of FFCPA and the picnics is that people of faith can see that WE are not alone. There are many folks who love our country and are willing to stand and defend our Judaeo-Christian values and liberties.
Next year we want to have 5 separate picnics across the state. COME AND JOIN US!!

" CITY ON THE HILL"
A group of FFCPA members attended an event at the Lancaster Bible College on 7/31. It was called " City on THE HILL" This is a youth program sponsored and staffed by the Pa. Family Institute. The week long program is designed to take young students from across the state and give them a unique one week experience designed to teach worldview principles and develop leadership skills.
The key note speaker that night was Dr. Paul Kengor, Author and Professor from Grove City College. He shows how the progressive movement has been systematically destroying traditional American marriage and family values for their own gain. See this important video presentation HERE.

"ROAD TO MAJORITY"
Report
The Faith and Freedom Coalition Pennsylvania took advantage of a chance of a life time. Over 65 Pennsylvania people went to the National FFC annual conference in Washington DC this past June 8,9 10.
We had the privilege of having President Trump speak to our luncheon on Thursday and Vice President Pence and his wife come on Saturday evening and speak at our closing banquet. We also had Dr. James Dobson there to receive the Winston Churchill Life Time Achievement Award for 2017.
The conference included a trip to capitol hill where we heard from numerous conservative legislative leaders and also many break out sessions covering a host of important national issues.
The main take away is that we as conservative people of faith Do have a lot to be thankful for. When we can see and meet first hand with the leaders who are believers and standing firm for our religious freedoms and protections, we can come home with a true sense of hope and faith in our future.
This does not mean we stop working, it means this is when we bear down and seal the deal.
FFCPA has a whole new set of goals for 2017-2018 and we want you to join us in this exciting journey.
All of our funding comes from people like you. Our staff are all dedicated volunteers.

New York Faith & Freedom Coalition: Penny and I just returned from our Annual Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in D.C. I can report that despite what you hear on T.V. our nation is in good capable hands, and poised to change direction to return to the God who alone can bless our nation with his "grace shed on thee."
We would have been content to have the President or the Vice President address our group with a video taped message as has been done in the past. But to the best of my knowledge, this is the first time a sitting president, and a sitting Vice President have both came to the Omni-Shoreham Hotel to express their appreciation for our support in person!
If you have not yet heard their messages please take the time to watch.You will be encouraged, and if there was any doubt that God is giving us a reprieve, yet one more chance to get it right, that doubt will be turned to a sure hope that if the people of God will pray like it all depends on God, and work like it all depends on us we will see a genuine "revivolution" in America. (BTW, that's a political/governmental revolution inspired by a spiritual revival).
I am determined to do what I can to help New York State come back to the God who made us the Empire State, to reclaim that greatness for the benefit of our children and our grandchildren, and for His glory. And yes, I will need you to join in this "army of God" to fight, not by might nor by power but by His Spirit. Stay tuned!

Today wreathes were laid at Arlington National Cemetery and Veteran's grave-sites all across America. It was all started in 1992 by one man's annual tribute to our veterans, inspired a legion of volunteers and gave rise to the Wreaths Across America of today. Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, our mission to Remember, Honor and Teach is carried out by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as over 1,100 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea, and abroad.
Today with the help of donations and hundreds of volunteers at the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Delaware over 6,000 wreathes were laid to honor our veterens there. Before the laying of the wreaths there was ceremony to honer our veterans. Chaplain Richard Berry, Maj., CAP gave this inspiring invocation:
"Heavenly Father, on this wintery afternoon, our vets are here, we are here and You are here.
Remembering, giving thanks and honor to whom it is due is a sacred value that originates directly from You. For it is You who instructed the Israelite people to keep feasts of remembrance such as the Passover. It is Your Son who instructed the church to keep the Holy Eucharist (which means “thanksgiving”), to “do this in remembrance of Me,” to keep the sacrifices alive and to pass on to generations to come.
As Your hand guided our forefathers of this great nation in laying the foundations for justice, freedom and democracy, we pray that Your will continue to be done as it is in Heaven.
We are ever grateful for freedom, and all that freedom entails! Though it comes at great price and continues to be paid each and every day by our armed forces, let us not take this freedom for granted nor the ones who serve or have served our country and especially those who have paid the ultimate price for this freedom with their lives. Let them not be forgotten!
So today as we pause in this sacred moment to remember, let us give these men and women thankfulness and honor for their willingness to stand in harm’s way to preserve the freedoms that we so enjoy and cherish.
Let us as a nation not be found negligent in providing the honor due for our debt that cannot ever be fully repaid.
May we each be challenged by their service and sacrifice, for it is in service to others that we most reflect the image of our Creator.
We pray this in the Name above all names, to whom all power is given.
All of God’s people said – Amen."

Election 2016Well, they said it couldn't be done. However, the progressive left continually ignores the power of God.
FFCPA wants to give a heart felt THANK YOU to everyone in the state who worked so hard to bring Pennsylvania over the line and deliver such an important success to this election. However, this is just the beginning in our battle for America's future. We know that Satan will never give up his quest for dominance, so we can never stop our quest for God's Kingdom. Our mission is and always will be to get the people of faith back into the public arena by getting men and women of faith into public service at all levels. We also need to be teaching these values from pulpits across the country. So lets take a moment to savor this success, and then prepare ourselves for the work that remains. We have proven that we can succeed. THANK YOU ALL and look to God for His Blessings. Larry Denver and the FFCPA Board Priests Urge Pro-Life Voters To Turn Out On Election Day |

DECISION AMERICA TOUR 2016
with FRANKLIN GRAHAM
HARRISBURG, SEPTEMBER 15th
It was great -- a crowd of more than 7,200 people joined me at the Capitol in historic Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, today to pray for the future of America. Christians need to pray for the election coming up and get everyone they can to vote. The presidential race is not about personalities–it's really about the Supreme Court and who the next president will appoint to this highest court in the land. This will impact the direction of the country for the next 100 years. Be sure to research the names each candidate says they would appoint and find out where they stand on biblical and moral issues. We have put together a special election issue of Decision Magazine that outlines both the Democratic and Republican party platforms to help you as you pray and determine who to vote for. It's called "Two Visions. Two Americas." Just go to billygraham.org/electionguide to order your free copy.

Personal Privacy and Religious Freedom in PA

Dear Pennsylvania Legislator,
Legislation has been introduced in the General Assembly that threatens personal privacy and religious freedom. These bills (HB 1510, SB 1306, SB 1307 and SB 974) add sexual orientation and gender identity to the State’s current Human Relations Act that was enacted in 1955.
First, this legislation will allow men who self-identify as women to use women’s bathrooms, showers, and changing rooms. No woman should be forced to share a public restroom or locker room with a man. These provisions apply to both private and public facilities, meaning that school bathrooms and locker rooms are included. These provisions defy commonsense and decency.
Furthermore, this legislation contains no protections for religious liberty, other than those already contained in the U.S. Constitution – which are being undermined daily. Legislation like this has been used in other states to prosecute or penalize bakers and photographers who refused to participate in homosexual wedding ceremonies.
Similar legislation in other states has diminished the charitable work of churches and religious service providers. For example, Catholic Charities has been forced to close adoption agencies rather than violate their religious beliefs. Simply put religious liberty and charitable works will be greatly diminished if these bills pass.
Finally, this legislation will expose many Pennsylvania employers to lawsuits that are nearly impossible to defend, as employers would have to identify how many homosexual or transgender individuals they employ in order to mount an effective legal defense. Thereby violating the privacy rights of their employees.
The Faith & Freedom Coalition with over 1.1 million members, along with our Pennsylvania state affiliate, opposes this legislation.
Please Support Personal Privacy and Religious Freedom and Oppose HB 1510, SB 1306, SB 1307, and SB 974.
Sincerely,
Michael Hough

2016 FFC Leader of the Year Award.
During the Road to Majority Conference this year, FFCPA President Larry Denver was honored with the 2016 FFC Leader of the Year award.
"I want every one in Faith and Freedom Coalition, Pennsylvania to know that this award was not just for me. This award is recognition for EVERYONE who worked so hard to make a difference this year.
There were a lot of meetings, events, miles driven, and prayerful moments that added up to a very productive year doing God's work.
We still have a lot of work to do and lives to touch before we can claim a victory for our country. But, we have read the end of the book, and we know how it ends. We win. We have to be faithful, trust in God and obey His direction.
Remember, it is all about relationships and having a servants heart. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.
Thank you to everyone and lets look forward to an exciting election season and 2017.
Thank You and God Bless,
Larry Denver, FFCPA

Defend My Privacy Rally
It was a great success!
Monday June 27th at the Capitol in Harrisburg, PA
"You might think it crazy that Pennsylvania would ever pass a law that permits men into women-only bathrooms and showers, but know this:
- There are still over 20 State Senators and over 80 State Representatives that directly support proposed legislation that would force all businesses, schools and churches to open women’s-only bathrooms and showers to men
- Some of these state lawmakers – both Democrat and Republican – are actively making false claims that this proposed legislation (HB1510 & SB974) would not impact bathrooms and privacy rights."
Road to Majority a Success!
Once again, the Faith & Freedom Coalition hosted another wildly successful “Road to Majority” policy conference in Washington, DC as the program was headlined by presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, along with U.S. Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, and former presidential candidates Carly Fiorina and Dr. Ben Carson.
Over 1000 attendees and over 200 members of the media were on hand Thursday, Friday and Saturday June 9-11 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC to hear from a wide array of conservative leaders, including: Sen. Chuck Grassley, Sen. John Boozman, Sen. Joni Ernst, Sen. David Perdue, Sen. Jeff Sessions, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, Rep. Robert Aderholt, Rep. Diane Black, Rep. Marsha Blackburn, Rep. Bill Flores, Rep. Virginia Foxx, Rep. Steve King, Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Jason & David Benham, Glen Bolger, Stacey Dash, Dinesh, D’Souza, John Fund, Dr. Jim Garlow, Ed Goeas, Tim Goeglein, Kristan Hawkins, Dr. Richard Lee, John McLaughlin, Grover Norquist, Tony Perkins, FFC Chairman Ralph Reed, and Hans von Spakovksy. “Road to Majority” also featured a series of break-out sessions and panel discussions on a wide array of policy topics including: religious liberty, support of Israel, justice reform, corporate cronyism, school choice, as well as panel discussions about grassroots organizing, minority outreach, college outreach, and a 2016 election analysis. To all attendees and sponsors, thank you for making this the most successful "Road to Majority" ever! Make sure to stay tuned for more information on next year's "Road to Majority" 2017! 2016 MEMORIAL DAY MESSAGE
Today I attended church services at my home church. With all the travel to different churches I do, I was looking forward to seeing my friends at my church. I went on this Memorial Day looking for comfort and recognition for the millions of people who have made the ultimate sacrifice for every citizen in this country. I am afraid I left without fulfillment.
As we pause to remember these past, present and future guardians of our God given rights and liberties, I can't help but feel a sense of anxiousness deep down inside. It is not fear, for if we truly trust in God, we have no need for fear. It is a sensing that something is coming and we should have an urgency in preparing for " It". But what is " It"? " It" may be a national spanking administered by God to a country whose people and leaders have clearly lost their moral way. A disciplining to a nation that when compared to the national sins in the Old Testament, we can check off one box after another. CHECK, CHECK, CHECK..... We are moving into the final act of " Crazy Season!" [The National Elections]. During today's church service, after service, during Adult classes, and after, I did not hear a single utterance about what is about to happen in the United States. It seems to be a non-event. As a people and as the body of the church, we must stop, and take a breath. We must acknowledge what our duty is when put into the context of the Memorial Day Sacrifices remembered. For someone to say ," I will not vote for any of the candidates and to sit this election out is a slap to the face of every single person who ever served our country. I have heard this from many " Good Christian Citizens" The oath of service is based on protecting and defending the U S Constitution. It is only their sacrifice and the U.S. Constitution that stands between our God given freedoms and the tyranny that threatens us all today. Do not let these sacrifices be in vain. Remember them and honor them. And thank the Good Lord for creating the .5 % who are willing to step forward and answer the call to duty. When I hear this message being spoken from pulpits across America, perhaps I will know we are on the right path again. God Bless you and God Bless America, Larry Denver President Faith and Freedom Coalition, Pennsylvania FFCPA EXPANDS FURTHER in Western PA with
