"I joined up with OCU and the
Assemblies of God to file a referendum petition that will allow
Baptist layfolk to make the final decision on Senate Bill No. 553...
expanding gambling. I will rely on our pastors to educate the
layfolk." |

"I am issuing an
urgent call of unprecedented significance to seek God. The
presidential election is this year for Bush's second
term. God sends great spiritual awakenings only when his people
unite in prayer. Your apathetic indifference will cause
us
to lose Bush in judgment." |

"Every pastor must come to the state capitol
blue room next to the governor's office to pray on may 6. I, Nick
Garland, will lead a prayer. Participants will be blessed by powerful
special music." |
"You know we don't allow women to
lead men, but Shirley Dobson of "Focus on the Family" is Chair of
National Prayer. She will lead us to pray for bush and spiritual
awakening. We Southern Baptists are the only ones allowed to pray on
the Capitol steps, but Mainstream Baptists are spearheading
a gathering of Atheists, Unitarians, Pagans, Islamic
Society, University. of Oklahoma Religious Studies, Jews and
Cooperating Baptist Fellowship to pray. I wonder to whom They will
pray? When belief in Inerrancy of scripture is abandoned, All
boundaries are removed. Each man does what is right in his own eyes.
The leader of Mainstream Oklahoma Baptists says that the reason for
this substitute event is to keep fundamentalists from tarnishing
government and to give all faith groups the privilege of praying. If
refusing to join the MOB to pray makes me a fundamentalist, then spell
it with a capital 'F'. Lift your voice in the name of Jesus, while the
obu Bison Glee Club
sings and Mark Brister speaks."
(Isn't this supposed to be a gathering for prayer?)

"My wife and I hosted a Branson bus tour of
Senior Adult party animals. These party animals talk, shop, love,
and anxiously await the Lord's appearing. This inspirational Branson
tour was to promote the MESSENGER's work. These party animals are
supporters of the Cooperative Program. We all enjoyed Branson
entertainment and ice cream. Is it any wonder that the Lord trusts
these party animals with the opportunity to invest in the Kingdom?
Senior party animals, watch out for events that are scheduled
at the same time as the National Day of Prayer that are nothing more
than expressions of humanistic pride instead of concerts of prayer
to the true and living God."
(In the U.S., doesn't anyone else have a right to pray to whomever
he or she pleases...God or no god? )

"Would you help us storm the gates of heaven with requests to bring
about a great church-planting movement in middle America and Canada?
Pray that God will raise up Christian political leaders. For more
requests call the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma." |

"God has designed specifically for this purpose.
As a civil engineer, I'm working to upgrade infrastructure at Falls
Creek. The streets will be eventually coated with eleven (11) inches
of asphalt. My experiences have prepared me for Falls Creek. I am here
because I know God has prepared me for such a time as this. It's a
calling. Roads have to be widened and the water filtration system
upgraded. This is in preparation for the new 7,056-seat tabernacle.
The changes are superficial. I want God to be completely glorified in
my work. The enormity and complexity of this project is God-sized and
only he can see this through. To learn more about the "Falls Creek
Save-a-Seat Program", call the campaign office at the Baptist
building. I bought a seat in honor of my mother-in-law." |

"My organization for good government has collected $50,000 and can
raise $800,000 or more to defeat senate bill 533 (gambling). Anthony
Jordan said Oklahomans will not be bought. Pastors will get the
52,000 churchfolk signatures needed. |

May 2 will be the first signature signing
Sunday. Winning the election is my
Greatest concern."
