One Minute Devotion by Richard Exley

Even as we celebrate the joys of life, there is another part of us that grieves for those who suffer. And it is this spiritual sorrow that is our rite of passage into ministry. Thus it was with Jesus and His experience teaches us that it is not only possible to experience joy and sorrow simultaneously, but that it is mandatory if we are to live as authentic human beings.

"He was...a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering" (Isaiah 53:3).

Lord Jesus, teach us to live experiencing both joy and sorrow so we can be emotionally present in each ministry encounter. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.

Faith and Action Presents Ten Commandments Award to the Speaker of the House

On May 1, Rev. Rob Schenck, president and lead missionary of Faith and Action, presented the Ten Commandments Leadership Award to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner.

Rev. Schenck stated the award was given to the Speaker because of: 1) his defense of the National Motto, In God We Trust, during a speech he gave on the floor of the House on October 3, 2008, 2) his newly developed platform, Pillars of a New Majority, which establishes the first pillar as “A Culture of Life”, and 3) his determination to fight to uphold the Defense of Marriage Act now under assault in the courts.

During his comments, the Speaker made clear he was determined to continue to fight to uphold both the sanctity of life and traditional marriage as between one woman and one man.

It was an extraordinary day of personal interaction as the Speaker took an extended amount of time to field questions from the gathering of pro-life leaders in attendance during the presentation.
