--DR.JAMES DOBSON--STANDING STRONG FOR GOD AND COUNTRY~~

--A federal district judge granted an injunction to Family Talk, the ministry of Dr. James Dobson, that will prevent the enforcement of the Obamacare mandate requiring his ministry to pay for abortion-causing drugs.

After the ruling, Dr. Dobson wrote his supporters: "We are celebrating and thanking the Lord this morning. Victory is ours. We won our case against [former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen] Sebelius and the Obama administration. Judge Blackburn wrote a powerful statement, which even used pro-life language, (i.e., referring to a 'human fetus'). He defended my right to follow the dictates of my conscience. It was eloquent."

Dr. Dobson explained what the ministry and its few dozen employees were facing. "The mandate requiring that we provide abortifacients such as the morning after pill would have begun May 1st. And after that, if we hadn't prevailed, fines amounting to $800,000 per year would have kicked in. We would have closed our doors."

Speaking at a 'National Day of Prayer' gathering, May 1, about the Obama administration's support of abortion, Dr. Dobson said, "He [Obama] has made it so that every American will have to pay toward the support of abortion," noting the $250 million in taxpayer funds that already goes toward Planned Parenthood's funding.

Dr. Dobson also stated: "I believe in the rule of law, and it has been my practice since I was in college to respect and honor those in authority over us. It is my desire to do so now. However, this assault on the sanctity of life takes me where I cannot go. I WILL NOT pay the surcharge for abortion services. The amount of the surcharge is irrelevant. To pay one cent for the killing of babies is egregious to me, and I will do all I can to correct a government that lies to me about its intentions and then tries to coerce my acquiescence with extortion. It would be a violation of my most deeply held convictions to disobey what I consider to be the principles in Scripture. The Creator will not hold us guiltless if we turn a deaf ear to the cries of His innocent babies. So come and get me if you must, Mr. President. I will not bow before your wicked regulation."

It is courageous people like Dr. Dobson who will help us to make it "morning in America again."~~

--Praying and Working for America's Restoration~

--In 2015 the God-created institution of marriage was turned on its head when same-sex marriage was declared to be the "law of the land" across America. We were shocked as it was revealed that Planned Parenthood was killing unborn children and selling their body parts. Even more shocking was the defense of Planned Parenthood by members of Congress, who refused to stop funding this evil organization.

Over the past several years, we have all witnessed attacks by our own government on Christianity and individual liberties. We have watched as these same leaders have violated our Constitution and dared the American people to stop them. We have all witnessed the withdrawal of our nation's support for Israel, as well as the unprincipled and dangerous agreement with Iran that will quickly enable it to become a nuclear power. Without question, 2016 will be pivotal for the future of America. If the anti-God forces are allowed to maintain control of our government, it is doubtful that America as we have known it can survive.

Here, too, we can content ourselves by simply lamenting about what is happening to bring our nation down, or we can stand up and do something to help bring about the restoration of our country, USA. Frankly, we are tired of all the pity parties being held regarding condition in our country.
It's time to stand up and fight. As Nehemiah once told his people-- "Don't be afraid of them! Fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and homes" (Nehemiah 4:14).~~

MAKE 2015 [And 2016]= A YEAR OF PRAYER PRIORITY FOR AMERICA!

Millions of people in America are being deceived into believing that Christians should not try to influence political issues. Instead, they are being told to sit on the sidelines and leave politics to the nonreligious and politicians. Nothing will destroy America more quickly than believing this lie. Most so-called political issues concern moral principles that are addressed in the Bible. Keeping silent about these matters violates both conscience and Scripture. It is my belief that the silence of Christians in America is largely responsible for our nation’s moral and spiritual decline.

Surely the silence of Christians today on moral and social issues plays into the hands of those whose ultimate goal is to transform the United States into a godless, socialistic nation. These disciples of America’s destruction appear to be winning in their efforts to intimidate and silence Christians. The only way out of the gigantic hole that we have dug for ourselves is for us to refuse to allow our First Amendment rights to be trampled! For God’s sake, for the sake of our country, and for your own sake, stand up for your rights and your personal liberties guaranteed by the Constitution!

--We the people of the United States of America presidents

It is an undeniable fact that our country’s founding fathers established this nation on Christian principles, starting with the Declaration of Independence which declares that the Author of freedom is the Creator God. Here are the exact words:

'When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights; that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it....

James Madison, known as the “Chief Architect of the Constitution,” stated:

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, and to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.”

If America continues to turn its back on the Creator God, who “hath made and preserved us a nation,” we cannot and will not survive. Thus, it is incumbent on every Christian to boldly stand for truth by calling our nation back to the principles that were drafted into this nation’s founding documents.
Above all, we must humble ourselves before God and earnestly pray for the spiritual restoration of America.

--- **IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM DR. JAMES DOBSON
---RE: Upcoming Presidential Election/ (August 2016)
~~~~~~~~~~
-----Dr. James Dobson on Donald Trump’s Christian Faith.

Only the Lord knows the condition of a person’s heart. I can only tell you what I’ve heard. First, Trump appears to be tender to things of the Spirit. I also hear that Paula White has known Trump for years and that she personally led him to Christ. Do I know that for sure? No. Do I know the details of that alleged conversion? I can’t say that I do.

But there are many Christian leaders who are serving on a faith advisory committee for Trump in the future. I am among them. There are about 25 of us that include Jerry Falwell, Jr., Robert Jeffress, Jack Graham, Ben Carson, James Robison, Michele Bachmann, and many others whom you would probably know. We’ve all agreed to serve. How will that play out if Trump becomes president? I don’t know. It is a good start, I would think.

If anything, this man is a baby Christian who doesn’t have a clue about how believers think, talk and act.

All I can tell you is that we have only two choices, Hillary or Donald. Hillary scares me to death. And, if Christians stay home because he isn’t a better candidate, Hillary will run the world for perhaps eight years. The very thought of that haunts my nights and days. One thing is sure: we need to be in prayer for our nation at this time of crisis.

--DR.JAMES DOBSON ADDRESSES THE TRANSGENDER BATHROOM DEBATE~

Dear Friends,

---When I was in the third grade, I raised my hand one day and asked the teacher for permission to "go to the bathroom." She nodded, and I hurried down the hall to the door designated "Boys." After I had relieved myself, I headed back in the direction of my homeroom. As bad luck would have it, the doors in the hallway all looked alike, and I opened the wrong one. Two second-grade girls were standing there with their mouths open in disbelief. Then they both screamed and pointed at me. The loudest one said, "You're in BIG trouble!" The other shouted, "Get out of here!" Sweet kids.

I was mortified beyond belief. I sneaked back into class and looked at the floor, wondering who might have witnessed my unthinkable crime. That was decades ago, but I haven't forgotten my humiliation. The cardinal rule is that boys and girls never entered each other's private facilities. Never!

How the world has changed! Who would have believed a day would come during my lifetime when boys could meander into the private sanctuary of girls' restrooms, or that it would someday be a civil right for men to use women's locker rooms and showers without permission or apology? Imagine sex-absorbed middle school boys ogling the bodies of developing pubescent girls or standing beside them in their showers. Have we gone absolutely mad? Whatever happened to modesty, safety, and Christian mores?

Did it upset you when the President of the United States ordered every public school in America to open all its bathroom facilities, including those that are in use by a member of the opposite sex?1 The President's order made me furious, and then sick to my stomach. How dare this man do something so audacious and unthinkable! His letter from the White House carried an implied threat to withhold federal money from local schools, which rocked the halls of public education. Who is this politician that is spending your hard-earned tax dollars to manipulate school officials, anyway? Who is it that is warping our children? It is Barack Obama, one of the worst presidents in American history, and it is time we stood up and said so!

Obama, acting like a king, is wielding dictatorial powers never envisioned in the law. He is determined to change the way males and females relate to one another, and worse, how children perceive themselves. If you are a married man with any gumption, surely you will defend your wife's privacy and security in restroom facilities. Would you remain passive after knowing that a strange-looking man, dressed like a woman, has been peering over toilet cubicles to watch your wife in a private moment? What should be done to the pervert who was using mirrors to watch women and girls in their stalls? If you are a dad, I pray you will protect your little girls from men who walk in unannounced, unzip their pants and urinate in front of them. Where is today's manhood? God help us!

Let's talk more about Barack Obama, who is a tyrant in many ways. How dare he assault centuries of modesty and moral beliefs! By what authority does he tell parents and school officials what to teach children under their care? Christian parents, does this outrageous order violate something deep within your sense of propriety? The President has already maneuvered the courts to undermine a 5,000-year-old definition of marriage, after experiencing his infamous epiphany. Now he is determined to change Western civilization forever. He becomes more reckless and defiant as his second term comes to an end. Never has an American president been so absorbed with the use and abuse of power, and unfortunately, he still has seven months to go. What's next?

I grew up respecting the authority and dignity of the nation's presidents. Each of them was tasked to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to protect our rights as citizens. That is what I was taught. My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Harris, described for us the three branches of government, and how each division has the authority to restrain the other two according to a principle known as "checks and balances." It made America unique among nations. But, with the complete refusal of the U.S. Congress to restrain the presidency or to curtail a runaway judiciary that is itself drunk with power, "we the people" are victimized by those who steal our freedom. Our Founding Fathers would be shocked to learn how the safeguards on our freedom have been abandoned.

My friend, Tony Perkins, of the Family Research Council recently said he is often asked, "Why is the Obama administration trying to mainstream 'transgenderism' and force schools to accommodate students who want to use the bathrooms and locker rooms of the opposite sex?" Tony's answer gets to the heart of the motive: "It's all part of a radical movement trying to destroy the fact that God created man and woman-and somehow people can choose what gender they want to be. The ultimate goal is to break down all sexual inhibition and morality-a goal that would result in social chaos."2

This is what influential feminist, Dale O'Leary, had to say on the issue of gender and its meaning in her publication, "Gender: The Deconstruction of Women: Analysis of the Gender Perspective in Preparation for the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China." She wrote, "Although many people think that men and women are the natural expression of a genetic blueprint, gender is a product of human thought and culture, a social construction that creates the 'true nature' of all individuals." 3

Do you understand what she was saying? Gender is not determined by your chromosomes. It is a product of culture. If a man thinks like a woman, he IS a woman. Furthermore, if we protect children from social and religious conditioning, people will be free to move into and out of existing gender roles at will. Taking that concept to its logical conclusion, the feminists and LGBT activists want to dissolve the traditional roles of mothers and fathers and, in time, eliminate references to wife, husband, son, daughter, sister, brother, manhood, womanhood, boy, girl, masculine and feminine. These activists want us to replace age-old terminology with neutral terms, such as significant other, spouse, parent, child and sibling. You'll see that happening in the near future. The bottom line is that they want to destroy human sexuality and take with it the foundation of the family. That is their goal, and they have a president in office who is willing to use his executive authority to force this nonsense on us all.

Clearly, there are serious implications here for mothers and fathers. I urge you to protect your boys and girls from those who are espousing these views. Shield them from gender feminism and from those who would confuse their sexuality. They will be under increasing political pressure in years to come.

It is also important for us as adults to understand our own sexual identities. If we don't know who we are, our kids will be doubly confused about who they are. Any uncertainty, any ambiguity in that assignment must be seen as damaging not only to our sons and daughters but also to the long-term stability of society itself.

Finally, I urge you to base your teachings about sexuality on the Scriptures, which tell us, "God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" (Genesis 1:27). Jesus, who was the first Jewish leader to give dignity and status to women, said, "Haven't you read . . . that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'" and, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh" (Matthew 19:4-5). That is the divine plan. It leaves no doubt that the Creator made not one sex but two, each beautifully crafted to "fit with" and meet the needs of the other. Any effort to teach children differently is certain to produce turmoil in the soul of a child.

We must fight to protect our homes and families from politically correct politicians who would create new entitlements that take away our liberties. There is no time to lose. Our children hang in the balance.

With every ounce of passion I possess, I am,
------
Sincerely yours,

P.S. You are probably aware that Target has taken a stand to allow persons who "self identify" as a man or woman to use the restroom of their choice. In addition to Target Stores, the following retailers have also decided, against the objection of their customers, to create "gender neutral" bathrooms: Starbucks, Ross, Walgreens, Toys "R" Us, and Barnes & Noble. Shirley and I will no longer patronize these stores, and I hope millions of others will do likewise.
