Great resources for you

Now that I have hopefully encouraged you to take initiative, I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite resources for keeping up with what's going on in the world.


This first one is my own Congressional Representative from Charlotte and personal friend, US Rep. Sue Myrick. She is one of the best Representatives in Washington and really, truly cares about what is going on. She strives to use her position to make a difference and takes her responsibility seriously. Her website is full of great information. You might want to also check out your own local US Representative's site.


The Oak Initiative is a fairly new organization that is doing some great things. There may be a local chapter in your area...if not, you can start one. Their goal is to wake up churches around the world to the issues that face us today and in the near future, and to encourage Evangelical Christians to get involved, educated and VOTE.


Bill Federer has written several great books that I recommend, especially 'What Every American Needs to Know about the Qur'an'. It's an easy to read, detailed timeline of the History of Islam and America. I also love his site American Minute. Everyday he sends out a bit of history and how God has always been acknowledged as playing a huge part of the events of our nation.


The most recent movement that I recommend is The Manhattan Declaration. A call of Christian Conscience, this movement began in 2009 by 150 prominent Christian clergy, ministry leaders and scholars, urging Christians to take a stand on three vital issues...the sanctity of life, the dignity of marriage as a union consisting of one man and one woman, and religious liberty. Each signer committs to speak and act in defense of Biblical truths with respect to these three issues.


I know there are many, many great resources out there. Feel free to share them in the comments on this blog. I just wanted to get you started with these, as they are currently my favorites and ones, as a homeschool mom, I refer to daily. In the days to come, I will also share other websites, blogs and resources as they relate to issues I write about.
