American Ministry Educating Our Nation

 

Our A.M.E.N. Committee (American Ministry Educating our Nation) will work with our churches, distributing information to be used by the body of Christ in becoming actively and effectively involved in the culture war.  New details are now available at http://www.getpurpose.org/worldview.html

Knowledge...... is the power to make intelligent choices. But the godly wisdom and knowledge that made our nation free and great have been lost to our general population. As a result, government of the people, for the people, by the people is on the verge of disappearing. Therefore, ICA has a grassroots training program with a goal of restoring this lost knowledge to the people.

Prayer and Fasting Initiative - October 2007

FASTING PRAYER Nehemiah 1:1-6
Pick at least one day a week to fast from eating, or from other daily routines (checking email, watching TV, etc.) and use the time to pray specifically for clarity about how God is calling you to respond to the same-sex marriage issue.  What foundational assumptions, mindsets, or behaviors is He calling you to change or let go of?  How is God calling you to stand for truth in the public square?  How might God be leading pro-family organizations to respond to our culture?

Is it Important to Register to Vote?

Does it Matter With Which Party you Register? 

As Americans we have a privilege of which many other countries may only dream.  Men have gone to battle for this privilege.  This often taken for granted advantage is the opportunity to vote.  Yet, while millions in other countries cry for this opportunity, millions in our own country have chosen not to vote, or not even to register to vote. 

Every two years, during the fall of the year, people from city and country gather at churches, libraries, community centers and fire stations to cast their votes for the candidates of their choice.  We also have elections at other times of year for municipal, school board and other elections.  Voting is NOT a right, it is a privilege.   

You may decide to register as a Democrat, a Republican, or as No Party.  If you don’t register with a party, you must understand that you lose the opportunity of voting in primaries.  Half of the elections happen without your voice.  To assist you in determining what party might best suit your ideology, here are some excerpts taken directly from the 2006 Democrat and Republican Platforms as they pertain to Biblical Issues.  No editorializing – just read for yourself and register with the party you feel best reflects your views.  If you would like to read the entire platforms from each party, you may do so by logging on to their websites.  The Iowa Democrat Party may be found at: www.iowademocrats.org  The Iowa Republican Party may be found at: www.iowagop.org  

We have attempted to select issues that might interest those involved in Iowa Christian Alliance.  We have divided our selections into four separate categories, CIVIL RIGHTS, REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, EDUCATION, and GOVERNMENT, LAW & ELECTIONS.  Within these four sections you will find direct excerpts from the party platforms of both the 2006 Democratic Platform and from the 2006 Republican Platform.
