Family Research Council decries immorality of federal deficit, defends its own ...

Last week FRC President Tony Perkins (representing lobbying arm FRC Action, of which he is also the president) and public policy group Let Freedom Ring President Colin Hanna co-hosted a webcast on the U.S. debt crisis. Invited to participate were Sens. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Joe Walsh (R-Ill.), along with other conservative policy leaders.

“Congress has been using the country’s credit cards like an irresponsible teenager for decades,” read a press release previewing the June 23 Web conference. “But now a band of House and Senate conservatives are fighting to turn back the clock on America’s debt.”

During the 65-minute webcast, DeMint drew the morality analogy even closer.

“We’ve got to stop this spending addiction in Washington,” DeMint said. “And it really is like working with an alcoholic. First of all, they won’t admit they have a problem. And then when they do, they say, ‘We’ll quit tomorrow, but let’s have one more drink today.’”

To which Perkins, a former police officer for the Baton Rouge Police Department in Louisiana (from which he was suspended and then resigned in 1992, according to The Nation ), responded, “When I was a police officer, I found one thing that really worked on those drunks that came home at night was a frying pan.”

But 20 days earlier, Perkins sent supporters an e-mail alert , asking for help closing its $1 million budget gap by June 30. He excused the organization’s financial struggle for all the work it has done during recent legislative sessions. According to the Center for Responsive Politics , Family Research Council Action’s (FRC’s lobbying arm) total lobbying expenditures in 2010 was $110,000; according to the Federal Election Commission , FRC Action Political Action Committee has spent $43,143 in individual contributions for the 2011-’12 election cycle through May 31.

In his alert Perkins wrote:

Ever since last November’s watershed election, which swept a record number of pro-family conservatives into office, FRC has more friends in Congress than ever before. And the more friends we have on Capitol Hill, the greater our ability to advance your pro-family views. This demand for our expertise is a blessing, but it has outstretched our revenue. As we enter the summer months when giving historically declines, FRC faces a $1 million gap between what we’ve budgeted for our work here in Washington, DC and what we’ve received in donations. I have already made cuts to reduce our costs, and our staff is working tirelessly.

24 Jun 11 Strengthening Christian Faith

As an ideal Christian person, it is our prime duty to spread god's sayings in all over the world. On the other hand, it does not matter whether we are Christian or from other religion. As a human being, we must know the ultimate gist of all religions. In the revolutionary era of information-technology, the task has become quite easier. The website like nzchristianfoundation.org.nz is determined to provide a new dimension to such aesthetic spirituality. We have heard the word 'Evangelism' and organization like ' New Zealand Christian Foundation ' is ideally practicing it. In spite of so many contributions to the society, Christian faith is still countering good amount of opposition from communists, theological radicals, gays, and even there are some Christians who hate the Christian faith. Hence, the Christian society needs many foundations like New Zealand Christian Foundation. The foundation with the help of its website is brilliantly capitalizing the virtues of "world wide web". Certainly, internet has made the 'evangelism' quite easier than never before. Evangelism is an ultimate tool to establish the Christian faith in the strongest way. The biggest one subject to counter through 'evangelism' is the term 'Solas'. A common man loves to pay regard to 'Bible' as the book of God's word but as soon as the 'sola' portion appears, perception changes because it sets forth the Bible as the only book for god's word. Basically, people realize that there are large numbers of books accepted as the god's word. Though, they are contradicting with each other at the certain specific points. So, people want to narrow it down and pick only those words what they wish to follow. On the other hand; people hate 'gospel-proclaiming Bible based stream of the Christian faith' because it prohibits human inclination towards lust of flesh, lust of eyes and pride of life as well. In contemporary circumstances, people love to practice inclusive approach irrespective of creeds and believe. They respect 'Christ' but have doubt in its stature as the only savior. They state that faith and grace can not be the only way for justification and salvation. If the things are so then people will come back empty handed from the doors of God.
