SAVING US A Call to Action for Restoring Biblical Values
by Seth Halpern Editor How far down can our nation go? How much can its citizens take? The sad reality is that without a “cure” we will continue the downward spiral. Without an answer our nation will find itself in moral and quite possibly physical captivity in the days ahead. Pointing fingers has never been the answer. This is not a fight among right and left, among liberal and conservative, among political parties. This is a fight for “One nation under God”. Our answer is not in the GOP; it is in GOD! The mainstream media is trying to heal our moral disease with the wrong medicine. Even the conservative commentators are usually seeing this as a fight among men. Ultimately, it is not. It is a fight among principalities and powers in heavenly places. However, that does not mean that we are to sit back and “let God take care of business”. That’s not what our founding fathers did to usher the blessing of God on our nation. They didn’t sit around watching “Real Housewives of Valley Forge”. They where actively working to secure their land. We may not need to secure it in the same way. We may not have British forces trying to keep us under their rule. Yet, we do need to “secure” our land from those who wish to take it from us in different ways. The Gay Agenda is successfully deployed in our schools and legislation to steal our families. Radical Islamists have killed our people and continue to relish in
future threats to do more harm. Atheists and anti-Christian groups “handcuff” us with our own laws and force our values, traditions and beliefs into a vulnerable position of bondage. Still, others take breath from babies and those who can’t defend themselves. When will we say “enough”? When will we stop pointing the finger outward, while crying “victim” and go back to sleep? We are ready for a change. Will it come from the next election a year from now? Not likely. The current president was considered by many the new messiah. But his approval ratings show that we should not expect him to leave an empty tomb. Who will make US work again? Who will be that hero to bring us back to the greatness of our mighty nation stirring

us to sing “America The Beautiful”? I know who it is. It’s me. Surprised? Don’t be. Because even more surprising is that this hero is “You” too. We have been trying to “fix” our nation by saying what the leadership is doing wrong. When has that ever worked? It doesn’t work in business. It certainly doesn’t work in the church. Rather than looking to fix US from the top down, let’s change the plan and work
from the bottom up. That means that the change begins with US not U.S.! When you or I make a commitment to live by the biblical principles that our founding fathers (for the most part) lived by, then we will change individually. When we change individually, it impacts our family. When our families change, it impacts our community…and so on. The Ambassador
coupon pg. 8 and the Christian Business Alliance have joined forces to celebrate the power given us to correct the problem. That power is Jesus Christ. On Friday, November 4th, we will be meeting at Glad Tidings Church for a time of celebration and challenge. The Ambassador Ministry’s objective is to “Encourage, Inform, Challenge, and Connect the local Body of Christ” This is what we will do. It will be a time of Encouraging one another through reminding us of what made our nation great. It will inform you of how and why it has fallen. It will challenge you to consider your role in being part of the solution, and finally it will connect you with community organizations and resources to help you act on your commitment. We believe that it is that final step that will bring a great
deal of personal enrichment and satisfaction as well as the fruit of transformation in our community. Brad Dacus from the Pacific Justice Institute and Ken Devore from the NFIB will be our keynote speakers.We hope you will strongly consider joining us for this important time for our community.
