    VP MIKE PENCE at the GOP Convention Site in Charlotte, NC

    Aug 24, 2020 View in browser B Y JAKE SHERMAN , ANNA PALMER , GARRETT ROSS A N D E L I O K U N Presented by THE MESSAGE? … VP MIKE PENCE at the GOP convention site in Charlotte, N.C.: “We’re going to make America great again -- again.” Republicans officially nominated President DONALD TRUMP and PENCE for a second term today. THE PRESIDENT visited the site early this afternoon. “Think about your life just prior to the plague," he told the crowd. This week’s schedule and speakers THIS MORNING WAS YET ANOTHER PIECE OF EVIDENCE for the legion of political observers who believe some high-profile congressional hearings turn out to be a waste of time. MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE spent the morning lecturing Postmaster General LOUIS DEJOY about the USPS -- oftentimes without asking a single question. When they asked questions, they sometimes sounded like this: Do you believe you need to follow the law? Is your backup plan to be pardoned like Roger Stone, Rep. JIM COOPER (D-Tenn.) asked? Why are the Democrats out to get you, Rep. JIM JORDAN (R-Ohio) queried? Why doesn’t this hearing about the USPS include debate about the PPP -- it’s a “waste of time,” Rep. CHIP ROY (R-Texas) said. In addition, the hearing was riddled with technical difficulties. REP. STEPHEN LYNCH (D-Mass.) asked if DEJOY would replace removed sorting machines -- DEJOY said no, but they couldn’t get around to figuring out why, because LYNCH had used up all of his time. MEANWHILE, millions of Americans are wondering if their prescription drugs are going to get delivered, if their mail-in votes will actually be counted and what elected officials are actually doing to make their lives better in the middle of a pandemic and economic recession.

    2021 Media and Communications Kit Resources on the National Day of Prayer Task Force Prayer Mobilization Efforts Contact: Amy McDonald www.nationaldayofprayer.org 719-559-9566 [email protected] COPYRIGHT © 2021 National Day of Prayer Task Force EXECUTIVE BRIEF AMERICANS UNITE TO PRAY ON MAY 6th Americans from all walks of life will gather on May 6th to lift up our country in prayer for the National Day of Prayer. Our nation has endured a year marked by tragedy and pain, but we know prayer has carried us through these days and the hand of God will move us into a brighter future. This year marks 70 years since Reverend Billy Graham stood on the capitol steps in February 1952 and called for congress and the president to establish a day of prayer. By April of that year, President Truman signed the legislation into public law. For seven decades, the efforts of the National Day of Prayer Task Force have mobilized Americans to observe the National Day of Prayer in all 50 states and in U.S. territories to pray for those who lead and those in need in our nation. (Read the full press release on page 3) THEME AND FOCUS Each year the NDP Task Force President asks the Lord for a theme to guide prayers. 2021 Theme: “LORD pour out Your LOVE, LIFE, and LIBERTY.” 2021 Verse: 2 Corinthians 3:17 NKJV, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” The annual theme art is a way to cast the vision of our prayers.

Now the concept of humanism and the humanities is very noble. To be humanitarianism (sic) is good. But secular humanism is actually a type of religion. It's actually atheism in a new guise.

NARRATOR: "It may go down as the religious liberty case of the twentieth century ••• The decision marks the first time, humanism, including secular humanism, has been recognized and defined as a religion. That means it can no longer be allowed a preferred position in public education but now, legally, will have to be treated with strict neutrality, as required of all religions by the Supreme Court." Attorney for the Plaintiffs, Tom Parker: "Not only does this decision ban the use of certain books in the state of Alabama which violate Constitutional rights, it also establishes some guidelines which could be used by state textbook committees or by concerned parents.

Rogers, elected to a one-year term as SBC president last June in a tumultuous annual meeting of the 13.4-million-member SBC, said, "My involvement is as Adrian P. Rogers. Period.

  • Be with Me See My Glory

    Be with Me See My Glory

    DAY OF PRAYER be with me see my glory JOHN 17 Dear George Fox Employee, Today is June 16, 2021--Day of Prayer. The purpose for this day is for us as the employee community to begin the 2021-2022 year prayerfully attentive to God’s direction and also to encourage the spiritual nourishment of the employee community in a season that has been especially stressful. The university pastors have created a prayer guide and a video (see code below) for you to use today, if you so desire, but please don’t feel limited by this. If there are other resources that God is using to refresh your soul or that are helping you to listen for God’s voice, by all means, utilize those tools instead. In a day set aside for prayer, it can feel especially challenging to put down other work and silence electronics. We can feel a strong pull toward our email, task lists, and conversations with colleagues. And, in a year like this, with so many unknowns and with so much urgency, we can anticipate that these feelings will be present for many of us today. And yet, in an uncertain time, like the one we are in, it is of enormous importance to be attentive to God’s direction. God will lead us and guide us. God will give us ideas. God will direct our steps. We must prioritize prayer...especially in an uncertain time. Prayer is not just talking to God, but listening and paying attention to God. It is easy to speak our prayer requests and then to continue in our hurriedness.

Testimon of Robert T. Kenned 1. The last sentence of the third full paragraph on page 2 should be stricken. The sentence reads as follows: we increased our cable coverage 62% (from January to November, 1987)." This statement lumps together carriage of CTC's programs on both local and distant signals. It is irrelevant to the Tribunal's determination concerning the marketplace value of CTC's programs solely on distant broadcast signals. Indeed, the sentence tends to confuse the issues by failing to distinguish local from distant signal carriage, and should therefore be stricken from testimony presented to the Tribunal. 2. The last sentence of the fourth full paragraph on page 4 should be stricken. The sentence reads: "CTC programming is a special benefit in that, we offer 168 hours of Christian programming per week, 46-1/2 hours of which is CTC-produced original programming." (emphases omitted). This statement does not report cable carriage of distant signals. Rather, it relates either to carriage of CTC's programs on CTC's own satellite network or to carriage on CTC's own broadcast station. The amount, of programming on the network and station have absolutely no bearing on the Tribunal's determination and should be stricken from the record.
