CRAVEN-PAMLICO CHRISTIAN COALITION: God and Country Banquet

WHY…..


Should you attend the God & Country Banquet next month???

Fellowship!
Great food!
Hear an inspiring message!
Support the local Christian Coalition!

This is our 19th year! Since 1994 CPCC has sponsored this Banquet and every year folks leave with a full belly and a smile from the experience!

While fellowship and great food have been a consistent experience, the messages have varied of course. Last year’s Keynote, General Jerry Boykin was an exceptional speaker, but made more special since he’s a New Bern native.

From Don Wildmon of the American Family Association, Dr. Pat Robertson of The 700 Club, Judge Roy Moore, Ralph Reed, JJ Jasper, Elizabeth Dole, Lauch Faircloth and many others, you can see how our guests come away with a great feeling of time well spent.

This year will be no different! Tim Barton of WallBuilders will bring a timely message of history, religious freedom and a challenge for Christians to be active! These are challenging times, but exciting times!

And of course, by being a Sponsor, buying an ad or attending the Banquet, you support our efforts. Why is that important? Sure we’re all concerned about government budgets and taxes and the economy. But what about our balance sheet, according to God? Your Coalition keys on family and social issues such as the sanctity of life, the definition of marriage and RELIGIOUS freedom! Isn’t it about time Christians stand up for OUR rights and freedoms? Well, gauging by what happened at Chick-fil-A locations all over the country last week, I think the answer is a resounding AMEN!


Combine food, fellowship and an inspiring Christian message based upon history, traditional values and religious freedom! Join us on Monday, September 17th! Or buy an ad, or become a Sponsor and support our efforts!

Individuals can show support with an ad too! Quarter page is only $25, half is $50 and a full page is only $75.

CHRISTIAN GROUP PLEASED WITH TODAY’S VOTE!

Marriage Amendment wins big in North Carolina

A local Christian activist group is pleased with the outcome of yesterday's victory of the Marriage Amendment which was on the primary ballot. The statewide vote was overwhelmingly in favor of defining marriage as that between one man and one woman in the state’s constitution.

“We are thankful for the vote by North Carolinians affirming that, in our state, marriage is between one man and one woman”, said Jerry Schill, Co-Chair of the local Coalition and Craven County Coordinator for VoteforMarriageNC.com, a pro amendment grassroots organization. He continued, “We give the glory to God for the substantial margin of victory giving credence to our state motto, “Esse Quam Videri”, or “To be rather than to seem”.


Schill is hopeful that this issue could be the catalyst for reversing the tendency to eliminate God from our lives in what he terms a “culture war”. “We’ve seen a very prominent movement from that of faith to one of apathy at best, and absolute disdain for God at its worst. As a country we’ve recently seen Bibles removed from military installations and a refusal by local governmental bodies to pray in the name of Jesus. We see the Marriage Amendment victory as a step towards a healing towards our relationship with our God and Savior”.

Sun Journal Letters to the Editor--New Bern, NC

Marriage Amendment Letters:

Of the 12 letters published today on the Marriage Amendment 9 were against and 3 for it. Shows the paper’s left leaning doesn’t it. Not surprising of those 9 folks against the amendment were 5 Democrats and 3 unaffiliated and one person who does not appear to be from Craven County at all. The three folks who wrote in favor of protecting the sanctity of marriage 2 were Republicans, again, not surprising. Most of the letters were out and out lies and nonsense.


For the real facts on the issue:  Read “What It Does” a letter fro Jerry Schill, Co-Chairman of the Craven-Pamlico Christian Coalition, my friend and a very honorable man.

Sun Journal Letter to the Editor: What it does by Jerry Schill


April 22, 2012

Regarding the Marriage Amendment:

• Gay marriage and domestic partnerships are illegal under CURRENT North Carolina law, passed by the General Assembly.


• If the Marriage Amendment passes on May 8, gay marriage and domestic partnerships will CONTINUE to be illegal. However, the definition will have the added protection of a constitutional amendment. The amendment makes it clear that marriage shall be the only domestic legal union recognized in North Carolina.


• The passage of the Marriage Amendment will not ADD any rights to gays but neither does it take any away.


• The amendment does NOT take away private contractual rights for unmarried couples.


• The amendment does NOT prohibit local governments or the UNC System from providing benefits to unmarried partners.


• The amendment does NOT interfere with benefits that private employers provide to gay couples.


• The amendment will NOT harm North Carolina’s economy. Gay marriage has been illegal in our state for several years, and the amendment will not change that fact from an employer’s or business standpoint.


So, if it’s already illegal and does not ADD any gay rights or take any away, what’s the point with all this?


Activist judges! By putting the measure in our state’s constitution, we add protection from judicial activism which has been way too prevalent in our country.


Another question is why are Christians so engaged on this issue? I certainly cannot speak for all but I know many of us have been concerned about the eroding moral fabric and the disintegration of our family structure for a lot of years. We have witnessed what’s been happening but have done little to reverse it. We have had little help from the leadership in our churches, especially from the pulpit. We love our state and our country, and have decided to get engaged rather than just go to another meeting and talk about it and complain about “those in charge”.


To paraphrase Popeye the Sailor Man, “That’s all we can stands and we can’t stands no more!”


On May 8, please vote FOR the Marriage Amendment, which will define marriage IN OUR CONSTITUTION between one man and one woman as the only legal union recognized in North Carolina!
