A message of hope, inspiration and challenge.

America’s only hope for restoration is for the hearts of men, women and children to turn their hearts toward God. This Sunday message is one that is good for every day of the week.

*** Pastor Ron Burtz***

If you’ve been paying attending to what we’ve been saying about revival over these past weeks you may be asking yourself, “Should I get out and vote for candidates that I believe will uphold the Christian values upon which this nation was founded? or should I just hunker down and pray for a heaven-sent revival? Well, the reality is it’s not an either/or…it’s a both/and. We must pray then vote, vote then pray.

It’s instructive to note that one of the most famed revival leaders in our nation’s history was a firm believer in the Christian’s obligation to get involved in the political process. Charles Finney who led thousands to Christ in the 2nd Great Awakening said, “The time has come that Christians must vote for honest men and take consistent ground in politics, or the Lord will curse them… God cannot sustain this free and blessed country, which we love and pray for, unless the Church will take right ground. Politics are a part of religion in such a country as this, and Christians must do their duty to the country as part of their duty to God. God will bless or curse this nation according to the course Christians take in politics.” Thirty six years ago when Ronald Reagan was running for president against then incumbent Jimmy Carter he uttered these words that ring down through the years even more true today than they were then: “You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.” My friends pray then vote. Vote then pray.

Hot Topic Tuesday:

In the past, the directors and staff of the South Dakota Family Policy Council would host monthly “Legislative Update” Luncheons at various Pizza Ranches throughout the state.  You may have even attended one or two or many of these meetings.  This was a good time to update folks, like you, as to the legislative/policy issues of concern to you & others, especially in the area of life, family, marriage and religious freedoms.

At their inception and for many years afterward, these update luncheons were well attended and well received.  But, it is my understanding, that over time the interest in these luncheons began to wane and those attending became fewer and fewer.  And then our organization, our ministry, went nearly a year and a half without a director which resulted in the death of these luncheons.

However, like a colleague of mine said to me many years ago, “Mark, where there is a death there is always a resurrection!”  He is correct!  And that is why I am sending you this email today!  I am excited to announce and invite you to our inaugural Hot Topic Tuesday breakfast on June 25th @ the Ministry Center, Downtown Sioux Falls from 7:30 AM-9:00 AM.  The focus of this particular Hot Topic Tuesday will be The Least of These: Human Sex Trafficking.  We are excited to have Susan Omanson as our presenter.  Susan is the founder and president of Be Free 58, a ministry reaching out to young girls and women who have been victims of sex trafficking.  Susan has extensive experience in the area of sex trafficking (sex slavery) and you will find her presentation to be not only informative, but very engaging and at times disturbing, and it should be.

One of the authors in one of the many books that I have recently read wrote, “What does it mean to be not just culturally aware, but culturally responsible?  Not just culture consumers, or even just cultural critics, but cultural makers?”  That is the goal of each and every Hot Topic Tuesday.  At each of our Hot Topic Tuesday gatherings will explore a “Hot Topic” in our culture from the vantage point of truth; discuss solutions and leave with possible action plans, so as to not just say that we attended an informative meeting, but to be equipped with some practical ideas to be a cultural maker, or to be a cultural transformer.  We also have a goal, Lord willing, to do these quarterly, beginning in Sioux Falls, and eventually in communities throughout SD, both east and west river.  And with each and every Hot Topic Tuesday that we host throughout the state, we are confident that those who attend will find that there is much more we can do to impact our culture than just influencing policy.

So would you consider joining us on Tuesday, June 25th @ the Sioux Falls Ministry Center, 225 E. 11th St, Downtown Sioux Falls from 7:00 AM-9 AM?  If you are able to join us please RSVP by emailing us @ info@sdfamily.org or call 605-335-8100.

Thank you and God bless you,
Mark Chase
President
South Dakota Family Policy Council

“Pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17, NKJV)

What does it mean to pray without ceasing? That doesn’t mean for 24 hours a day we should get on our knees and never do anything else, never go to work. I believe this scripture is talking about an attitude. All throughout the day, under our breath, in our thoughts, we’re constantly thinking about God, thanking Him for His goodness, meditating on His promises, and asking for His help. Prayer should be a lifestyle. It should be so ingrained in us that it’s automatic. Develop the habit of acknowledging Him. That’s when God will fight your battles. That’s when God will make the crooked places smooth.
… Today, be determined to pray without ceasing. Listen to the Holy Spirit’s prompting to pray. Know that God is with you and for you, and when you acknowledge Him in all your ways, He will direct your paths.
Father, thank You for another day to live and bless Your name. I choose to pray without ceasing, to honor You, acknowledge You and follow Your leading. Keep me close to You today as I keep my heart and mind on You in Jesus’ name. Amen.

(Today’s message from Joel Osteen)

Whether it was in job promotions, getting selected to a ball team, or even just being drawn for a prize. Certainly fate seems to be a factor in some cases but as the old saying goes “we make our luck” most often.

If you want your wish (dream) to come to pass, you must do something.

Recently, I challenged thousands of people on an issue of great importance.  They agreed it was of vital importance.  I ended the presentation with a question, “Are you willing to DO SOMETHING?”.  Of the thousands hearing the message, ONE person responded who actually stepped up to do something.

Your dreams will not make any difference to anyone.

What you DO will make a big difference.  One person doing something small can make a big difference in the lives of MANY people.

Do you really wish America wasn’t killing a child every 26 seconds?  Doe you wish 11 children were not killed every day in South Dakota?  (How many in your state?)

You can “wish”, or you can do something!  Which do you choose?

If you want to do something, email me at gkhowie@LifeLibertyGroup.com Let’s talk!

*** Pastor Ron Burtz***

The late Chuck Colson once said, “This nation cannot be saved unless the Church is first revived. Renewing the Church is the key to saving America.” And, I would add to that, the key to revival in the church is fervent and even desperate prayer. As I’ve been saying there is an inseparable bond between revival and prayer. In fact one of the great moves of God in our nation is known simply as the Prayer Revival.

In fact it started with a simple prayer by a simple man. Jeremiah Lanphier was a lay missionary working with the poor and downtrodden of New York City. One day in a small darkened room in the back of one of the city’s lesser churches he knelt to pray, “Lord, what will you have me to do?” The answer was simple but profound: The people should pray.”

So Lanphier started a noon hour prayer meeting for businessmen in the Old Dutch Church on September 23, 1857. Jeremiah prayed alone for the first half hour but then 5 more men showed up. The next week there were 14, the 3rd week 23, and by February and March of the next year, every church and public hall in down town New York was filled with people seeking God in prayer. Over the next two years over 1-million people were converted at a time when the US population was only 30 million. By comparison, if an awakening of the same scale were to start today in two years over 10-million people would be saved.

Are you thirsty for God to move in Revival? Then my challenge to you is start now.

The South Dakota Apostolic Prayer Network is connecting the two, by assigning each county to a specific book of the Bible.  Prayer is being launched from that book over that county.  Here is a sample of that prayer…

Thank you Lord as Leviticus chapter 4
foreshadowed of a greater yet to come which was Jesus Christ our Great
High Priest.  And that Jesus also became the scapegoat for the sins
of all mankind in Leviticus chapter 16. The law made it very clear that all sin
had to be atoned by blood.  Thank you Jesus for your blood atonement for our
sins, as we repent of our sins, and receive the sacrifice of your life for
ours.  Father show us how to appropriate what Jesus has done for us each and
every moment of our remaining days on this earth.  Thank you Jesus for Eternal
Life in YOU! We declare Romans 8:2 “For the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ
Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”
We release through the
Blood and the Light of our Lord Jesus Christ to Bennett county, a fresh
revelation of what you did on the cross as the blood atonement for all sins,
that You even now, as our Great High Priest, is ever interceding for us, and
that Bennett county you will no longer be under the law of sin and death, But
under the law of the Spirit of LIFE in Christ Jesus!
