FIRST WORD

First Baptist Church Naples
Doing More Together
As I considered enrolling in Grand Canyon College (now
a University), I debated between accepting an academic
scholarship or a ministerial grant. The academic route would
have demanded better grades, but there were strings attached
to the other offer – if I ever ceased being a Southern Baptist, I
must pay back the full amount. I took the academic scholarship
and, fortunately, kept it. In those long-ago days, I was not sure
about the future of our denomination and what seemed to be a
liberal drift. I did not want to be “beholding.” I am grateful for “the conservative
resurgence” that enabled our denomination to return to its conservative, biblical
roots – the only such group in history to do so.
I am Baptist by choice. My Methodist father also became a Baptist and eventually
a deacon. I am not like those who have claimed to have been “born, bred, battered,
and bruised a Baptist.” I love the fact that though we are the largest Protestant
denomination in the U.S., we are not connected to a hierarchy. No other person or
group tells our autonomous churches what to do. We choose to band together as
brothers and sisters in the Body with biblical doctrine, clear-cut theological stances,
conservative convictions, and common commitment to share the gospel with the
world. We pitch in to “engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs” around the
world (Titus 3:14). We seek to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20)
in our “Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts
1:8).
We believe that we can do more together than we can separately by giving a
percentage of our budget to the Cooperative Program. It exists for kingdom causes
of theological training, missions advance, godly living, and the impacting of our
culture in the area of ethics, morality, social justice, and religious liberty. Though
these times of recession have greatly stretched our Convention resources, we do
not give out of our abundance, but from God’s supply. The decline of the dollar
in the world’s financial markets is not too great for God to handle. Though our
missionaries are suffering and struggling, as are all institutions, we will continue
to be faithful in winning souls, planting churches, and making disciples.
As Janet and I attend the annual Convention in Louisville this week, I will
speak briefly at the Pastors’ Conference, and as an officer in the Pastors’ Wives
Association, she will be helping to plan and moderate the program. Our daughter
and son-in-law will lead the worship for them. Our ten messengers will be voting
according to their conscience. We expect the dawn of a new day and are thrilled
to be a part of something far greater than us or even our
great church.

“Shadow of the Almighty”
by Elisabeth Elliot
This book tells the gripping story of the life and testament of
Jim Elliot. This very personal account by the woman who would
become his wife reveals a missionary story that is truly a heroic
spiritual pilgrimage. Original writings from Jim Elliot himself are
included and give insight into the heart of a man who could pray,
“Give me not a long life, but a full one, like you, Lord Jesus.” It is considered a
modern Christian classic.
Experiencing

GOD
Every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Worship Center,
Men’s Ministry and Women’s Ministry meet together
around tables organized by Bible and Life Group.

Workbooks are on sale in the Lighthouse Bookstore.

Our Special Guest the
Weekend of July 4 & 5 is
Dr. Richard Land
President of the
Southern Baptist Convention’s
Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission

Princeton (A.B., magna cum laude) and Oxford (D.Phil.) educated,


Dr. Richard Land has served as president of the Southern Baptist
Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission since 1988.
Dr. Land has represented Southern Baptists and other Evangelicals’
concerns in the halls of Congress, before U.S. Presidents, and in
the media. In 2005, Dr. Land was featured in Time Magazine as one
of “The Twenty-Five Most Influential Evangelicals in America.”
As host of “For Faith and Family,” “For Faith & Family’s Insight,”
and “Richard Land LIVE!” (three nationally syndicated radio
programs), Dr. Land speaks passionately and authoritatively on
the social, ethical, and public policy issues facing our country. The
“For Faith & Family” Broadcast Ministry is heard by listeners each
week on over 600 radio stations across the country and throughout
the world on the Internet. Dr. Land’s latest book, The Divided
States of America? What Liberals and Conservatives are Missing
in the God-and-Country Shouting Match! is published by Thomas
Nelson.
Our worship choir and orchestra will be providing special
patriotic music in the Sunday, July 5th service.
Life Action
Revival Ministries
Critical Needs
Life Action just concluded their 38th season of ministry in local churches
around the country. They have concluded what has been the most fruitful
year ever as measured by impact and even financial provision through love
offerings. Fifty-three communities felt a measure of revival and subsequent
authentic Christianity. Hopefully, small movements of personal and corporate
revival and awakening were ignited. But, their passion of seeing our nation
touched by God escalated to almost unbearable levels. Just last week, two
Muslim nations expressed hesitancy about talks with President Obama because
of the “degradation” they see in America. Not coincidental, last week they
also received a White House press release proclaiming June LGBT (Lesbian,
Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender) month. Our country has fallen a long way, but
just think how much further toward destruction we would be as a nation if
it were not for the churches who are reaching millions with the power of
the gospel! Times of desperation are ripe for seasons of revival. Therefore,
Life Action has never been more excited about their mission and message!
However, they are still lacking a few key recruits for this next ministry
year. They are looking for young people who have hearts for the Lord, basic
character, servant’s hearts, teachable spirits, and specific skills applied to each
area of need. Would you please pray and see if the Lord impresses your heart
to suggest to them someone for the following positions:

1. A youth revivalist - This person could be single or married but without


children. He will travel with one of our teams and teach youth an average of
6 times per week.

2. Music Director - This is someone who can lead and train a team musically
both congregational worship and a variety of vocal venues.

3. Percussionist - This is for a quality, worshipful drummer.

4. Male Singers - They need quality vocalists who radiate/convey their love
for the Lord and engage easily with the audience.

These are very critical needs. It would require these individuals to arrive by the
end of July. As with all of their road team ministry and ministry staff, it would
also require raising a modest amount of financial support as a missionary.

Please feel free to contact Byron (Executive Director of Life Action Revival
Ministries), or his assistant, Cristi, personally by email for more information
at bpaulus@lifeaction.org or cfredericks@lifeaction.org.

Celebrate Father’s Day
by standing up for fatherhood!
Fathers have the high privilege and solemn duty to raise their children to know and love
God. While all parents desire that their grown children embrace their faith freely and
enthusiastically, when children are young, it falls to parents to make decisions regarding
their children’s religious upbringing, including:

 How often does your family attend church?


 What church have you chosen to attend?
 Can you teach your children that your religious views are absolutely true?

However, your freedom to determine the answers to these three questions will be
undermined if the United States Senate ratifies the UN Convention on the Rights of the
Child. For example:

 A Washington state court ruled that parents could not require their 13-year-
old son to attend church with them on Sunday morning, Sunday night, and
Wednesday night. The judge said that unless the family limited the boy’s
church attendance to Sunday morning, he would remove custody. This
Washington law (which has since changed) paralleled the UN children’s
treaty.
 The Scottish government, in an official publication produced to help their
youth understand their rights under the UN treaty, says: “You have the right
to choose your own religion and beliefs.” The role of parents? They “help you
think about this.”
 The American Bar Association, a strong supporter of the UN Convention on
the Rights of the Child, acknowledges that religious schools that teach that
Jesus is the only way to God “fly in the face” of the treaty. Thus, any who teach
children that their religion is the truth are likewise in violation.

Under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, all ratified treaties are superior to state
constitutions and laws. Hence, this treaty will override virtually all current American
laws on parents and children that conflict with it.

What can we do? Only a U.S. constitutional


amendment will stop international law from
interfering with parental rights. Over 90 members
of the U.S. House are co-sponsors of the Parental
Rights Amendment.

supporter of American parental rights at www.

A THREAT AGAINST FATHERHOOD:
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC)

The Structure:
1. The CRC is a treaty that creates binding rules of law. It is no mere statement of
altruism.
2. This treaty would automatically override almost all family law in America due to
Article VI of the United States Constitution.
3. Congress would have the power to directly legislate on all subjects necessary to
comply with the treaty. This would constitute the most massive shift of power from
the states to the federal government in American history.
4. American courts would have the power to directly enforce the self-executing
provisions of the treaty.
5. A committee of 18 experts from other nations, sitting in Geneva, has the authority
to issue official interpretations of the treaty which would be entitled to binding
weight in American courts and legislatures. This would effectively transfer ultimate
authority for all policies in this area to this foreign committee.

The Substance:
1. Parents would no longer be able to administer reasonable spankings to their
children.
2. Children would have the ability to choose their own religion while parents would
only have the authority to give their children advice about religion.
3. The best interest of the child principle would give the government the ability to
override every decision made by every parent if a government worker disagreed
with the parent’s decision.
4. Children would have the right to reproductive health information and services,
including abortions, without parental knowledge or consent.
5. Religious schools that refuse to teach “alternative worldviews” and teach that theirs
is the only true religion “fly in the face of article 29” of the treaty, says the American
Bar Association.

THE SOLUTION:
THE PARENTAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT

SECTION 1
The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a
fundamental right.

SECTION 2
Neither the United States nor any State shall infringe upon this right without
demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest
order and not otherwise served.

SECTION 3
No treaty may be adopted nor shall any source of international law be employed to
supersede, modify, interpret, or apply to the rights guaranteed by this article.
