Madden Calls for Campaign Finance Reform


At a State Government Committee hearing on term limits this week, Pa. state Rep. Maureen Madden argued instead for campaign finance reform, suggesting too much corporate money puts well-meaning, grassroots organizers at a distinct and unfair disadvantage. Term limits, she said, already exist through the power of the ballot box, though she agrees there should be term limits for the President of the United States and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Weaver: Update on GOVERNOR’S EMERGENCY Order and Mask Mandate

Hello Pastors and Church Leaders,

I’m sure many of you are in the midst of summer activities and programs. Although COVID changed many of our plans over the past year it’s encouraging to see some annual events like missions trips, youth camps, and VBS programs slowly coming back. Our world needs to hear the gospel of Christ Jesus during these tumultuous times. 

We have a few briefing items for you all:

Spurgeon: King Jesus

Some of the worst of tyrants have delighted to call themselves kings by divine right, emperors by the will of God, monarchs by the grace of God, and the like. It may be so; I doubt not that many of earth’s tyrants require much grace, lest their crimes should bring them to speedy ruin; and doubtless it is sometimes the will of God to inflict great scourges upon guilty nations; but, my brethren, Jesus Christ is no despotic claimant of divine right, but he is really and truly the Lord’s Anointed! ‘For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell’.
