Dear Mr. Phillips, Thank you for your thoughtful words and scripture. My husband is a State Representative here in Oregon, one of the few conservative Christians left in this troubled State. On Tuesday, the day of the shootings, our State Legislature voted along party lines to establish civil unions and transgendered, transsexual and gay rights laws that even include teaching homosexuality in public schools. It was a horrible day here in Oregon. We have broken our Covenant with God! However, faithful Christians can still hope in His mercy as we remain faithful in this fallen world. Incidentially, my husband spoke against the bills and took a great deal of heat because of his stand, and my children (all six) have been taking the heat, too. As we pray, each morning for so many things to be made right, we will continue to pray for your ministry and for its success as it effects the lives of so many and helps us remain faithful as we await the coming, again, of our dear sweet Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
