Renewed call to Pray and Fast As believers, we know it is not government authorities or elected officials that we are to depend upon for victory against the evils of this world, but rather the Sovereign Lord. As we await several critical votes on the Marriage Protection Amendment in both the Pennsylvania House and Senate in June, may we all renew our commitment to Biblical fasting (deliberateabstaining for a spiritual reason: communication with the Father) and prayer. Please consider setting aside a day of the week or a period of each day to petition the Father on behalf of marriage protection in Pennsylvania.Focus on the Family events Dr. Bill Maier, vice president and psychologist in residence at Focus on theFamily, will be speaking on issues confronting the family in westernPennsylvania next week.
