James 1:22 admonishes us to prove ourselves to be doers of the word and
not merely hearers, who delude themselves. All to often we don't do anything
because of apathy or ignorance. I can't put a link on a web page that
will fix apathy, but there is a link that will—prayer! To combat
ingnorance, the following are some ideas and issues that you can become
aware of and get involved in. Whether it is evangelism, prayer support,
writing your congressmen, signing petitions, spreading the word, giving
of either your time, talent or resources, a kind word or something else,
there is something each and everyone of us can do. At the very least we
can become informed and spread the truth about a variety of issues.
In addition to the links below, the Center
for Reclaiming America is an excellent resource to keep you informed
about some of the latest issues concerning our culture.
Pray for our nation!
Pray for our leaders in government at all levels. Prayer for the safety
of our troops in Iraq. Pray for our President and may GOD BLESS
AMERICA!!!

Slavery
Sounds like something out of a history book doesn't it? Unfortunately,
it is very much alive and well. In fact, there may be more slaves than
ever before—27 million—according to Anti-Slavery International
in London. And, in many situations, these modern days slaves endure even
more brutality than those of the past. To find out more and how you can

Vote.com is more than an opinion poll. It covers a wide variety of issues
many of which are of concern for Christians who believe in being salt
and light (Matthew 5:13–16). In addition to posting results, Vote.com
sends an e-mail to significant decision-makers (i.e. congressional representatives,
senators, the president, heads of corporations/organizations) telling
them how you feel about a particular issue.

Boy Scouts of America
Having been a Boy Scout myself, I can personally attest to the impact
it can have in the lives of young men. The Boy Scouts have long been the
epitome of honor, service, morality, values and duty to God and country.
True to the oath taken by each scout, they require participants and leaders
to be "morally straight." This has put them under fire from
certain activists who have managed to have much of their public funding
pulled, through various political tactics. For more information regarding
the Boy Scouts and the battles they face to preserved their morals, please
