Katherine Harris for US Senate

Katherine Harris for US Senate: "Florida GOP Chairman Carole Jean Jordan informed Congresswoman Katherine Harris this afternoon that a previous letter unethically leaked in today’s news is not applicable to current party beliefs. Further, Jordan stated that the Florida Republican Party does not officially endorse or take positions in a primary.

Representative Harris commented “this confidential letter was old news and Chairman Carole Jean Jordan has stated repeatedly this letter is not applicable today; further, Chairman Jordan said that she never expressed concerns about my campaign but rather the race overall against the incumbent. With a primary in process, the state chairman, the state committeeman and state committeewoman cannot endorse a candidate but all have stated their personal support for me.”



The Harris campaign continues to move forward while Representative Harris fights to preserve the sanctity of marriage and traditional values, to lower taxes, to help small businesses acquire lower costing healthcare and to ensure that illegal immigrants are not granted amnesty. Bill Nelson has voted against each of these ideals.



“It is high time for dirty politics and unethical leaks to be set aside so that the issues that impact people’s daily lives can be addressed,” continued Congresswoman Harris."

Activeword.org - Devotional: "Responsibility: Owns Up

Be sure to do what you should, for then you will enjoy the personal satisfaction of having done your work well, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our own conduct.-Galatians 6:4-5 (NLT)

Imagine if I went to the pulpit on a Sunday morning and said, Today's message is going to be a little bit different. You see, people kept interrupting me on my normal study day and so I had to bump it over to Saturday. But because my son had a baseball game that morning, which went into extra innings, I couldn't focus on the Word until late in the afternoon. And then, when I got to my office, I happened to turn on the T.V. and I saw that they were running a documentary on a band that I used to be involved with. Before I knew it, the time had slipped away. So I hope you don't mind, but today we're going to have a mini-message.

How irresponsible! And yet, this analogy contains three things that I've found we frequently do when our character is lacking in the area of responsibility: we'll find fault with others (people kept interrupting me), we'll cast blame (my son had a baseball game), and we'll make excuses (it was a band that I used to be involved with). But a responsible heart doesn't hide behind these rationalizations. It doesn't find fault in others, cast blame, or make excuses but, instead, owns up to its responsibilities. Christians with this kind of character recognize that they are responsible for the choices they make in life. They don't point to someone else or the circumstances they were born into.

In an age where 'passing the buck' has almost become an art-form, the family of God needs to do a better job of owning up and being responsible for its own conduct. When the world sees us do this, it will have more respect for and be more receptive to what we have to say.

DIG - What are three traits of an irresponsible heart?

DISCOVER - How do you respond when you do something wrong?

DISPLAY - Keep a running record of your mistakes and how you react after you make them."

The liberal religion has its own cosmology, its own explanation for why we are here, its own gods, its own clergy. The basic tenet of liberalism is that nature is god and men are monkeys. (Except not as pure-hearted as actual monkeys, who don't pollute, make nukes or believe in God.)

Liberals deny, of course, that liberalism is a religion -- otherwise, they'd lose their government funding. 'Separation of church and state' means separation of YOUR church from the state, but total unity between their church and the state."

Activeword.org - Devotional: "The Perfect Path

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the LORD. (Proverbs 18:22 NKJV)

It's the biggest decision you can make aside from your choice to follow Christ. Whom you choose to marry will affect the rest of your earthly existence and impact the generations that follow from this union. This leads to a sobering and perhaps even a scary thought: What if I make the wrong choice? God's Word gives us some guiding wisdom when it comes to such an important decision: He who finds a wife finds a good thing.

The Hebrew word Solomon chose here for finds means 'to find something along the way.' When the Scriptures make reference to a person's way, it's usually describing the course or path that God has appointed for his or her life. The implication of this proverb is that a son or daughter of God will find a mate as he or she is walking along the path He has appointed. I've seen this lived out several times as faithful followers find Mr. or Mrs. Right while serving in ministry.

This is a stark contrast to the world's wisdom when it comes to meeting your mate. Men and women are forced into desperation mode as though everything rests on them. They have to look just right and be at just the right place at just the right time if they have any hope of meeting the right one. How exhausting and futile! It's far bet"

I told Larry King about a lady who had come to our church one Sunday morning after discovering she had breast cancer. She had seen our television program and wanted to find out how to get right in her relationship with God. The Lord had allowed this tragedy to get her attention. Larry interrupted me and asked, 'How do you know it's not a crutch? I mean, I have breast cancer; I've got to pray to something.'

I responded, 'Thank God for that crutch. Larry, He's not a crutch to me; He's a whole hospital.'

Larry smiled and said, 'Good line!' Then he turned to his director and said, 'Write that down.' But it wasn't a line. It was the truth. The gospel truth. "
