LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Exciting news!  The House and Senate are having discussions that might lead to the passage of a pro-life bill.  We are fast approaching the end of the 2023 Legislative session.    With only three days to go this week, it will take a minor miracle to get a bill amended in the House that will get Senate approval. 

PLEASE DON’T CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THIS WEEK. 

The negotiations are sensitive and the Legislators will need to work this out without a lot of public input.  What you can do right now is pray and encourage everyone to be much in prayer that an agreement can be reached. 

Speaking of the Lord Psalm 111:7-8 says, The works of His hands are faithful and just; all His precepts are trustworthy; they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness. 

2 Corinthians 10:11 says, You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks of our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.

May the Lord hear and answer our prayers on behalf of the unborn. 

He must increase, I must decrease
