Hi from Ruth Schofield | The Washington Report

Dear Chris,

Trust everything has been going well for you. Keeping you covered on our prayer list, asking the LORD to give you His abundant grace for your life. Also, pray for monetary abundance in return for your faithful assistance to the ministries you serve.

I came down for a quick interview with Bob & Jane D'Andrea at CTN in Largo and would like to get it posted on the website, if you're still up to doing this.  You have been a tremendous blessing to us for designing and maintaining the website. Below is the youtube link and the one segment I would like to have posted. Also, do you know offhand which GoDaddy Domain that is key to the website? embassyforworldpeace.org or embassyforpeace.org?

They are up for renewal and don't need to keep what isn't necessary anymore. 

Love & Prayers,

Ruth

Thanksgiving Blessings

What is Thanksgiving to a Christian?

 

We "rejoice always" and "in everything give thanks"

(1 Thess. 5:16, 18, NKJV)—most of all, we give thanks for Jesus, the one gift that surpasses all others!!

 

We give thanks for the gift of who Christ is to us:

He chose to become a sacrifice for our sins (John 3:16).

 

Thanks for the gift of who Christ is for us:

He has made us more than conquerors (Romans 8:37).

 

Thanks for the gift of who Christ is over us:

He is LORD over all (Matthew 28:18-20).

 

Thanks for the gift of who Christ is before us:

He is our forerunner (Hebrews 6:20).

 

During this season of thankfulness, I thank the Lord for your heart of love, compassion, and giving!

 

Remember, the real treasure is on the inside:

Man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).

Praying you have a very blessed Thanksgiving, 

Rev. Ruth Schofield

We Salute Those Who Paid the Ultimate Price

This Memorial Day, we at The Washington Report lower our heads in respect for the women and men of the United States Armed Forces who gave their lives this past year in defense of our nation. We also remember terror victims and those whose job it is to protect us in the homeland.

Santa Fe, the Human Heart, and the Need for God

Who we are is a broken country in dire need of the God we keep pushing away. "The world has never been a nice place," Matt Walsh pointed out the Daily Wire, "but it got quite a bit meaner when we abandoned religion. That is no coincidence." It's human nature to want to blame something, but the problem has never been guns. Are there policies we could strengthen? Absolutely. But mankind has had instruments of destruction dating back to Cain and Abel. The real crisis is the moral vacuum left behind when society kicked religion -- and with it, morality -- out of the public space. Violence, relativism, promiscuity, and suicide didn't get their start when God was expelled from school. But they've certainly been given a culture in which to thrive now that we've removed the Judeo-Christian foundation that anchored the country. Walsh warned:

"The nightmare we have lived since the turn of the previous century has been the direct result of the world's rejection of God. We fled from His embrace and what we found out here in the wilderness, in our 'freedom,' is evil and despair on an unimaginable scale. We have become an empty country, an empty generation, an empty world. 'They withdrew from me, went after emptiness, and became empty themselves,' God says through the Prophet Jeremiah. He speaks as much to us as He spoke to the people of Jeremiah's time."

Prayer and Action go together!

"Living our faith means it impacts everything we do. (The Apostle) Paul encourages unceasing prayer, and James makes a strong point that faith without works is dead. Have you considered how to positively impact your sphere of influence with the values and care that are derived from faith?" --Congressional Prayer Caucus Foundation

Promises Made – Promises Kept

President Trump made good on another campaign promise and moved the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Click onto the link below to watch the video and learn how experts and analysts are reacting about how this move affects the peace process and peace in the region. Thus far, Guatemala, Paraguay, Honduras and Romania will follow the United States in moving their embassies to Jerusalem.

The Connection Between Worldwide Religious Freedom And National Security

President Donald Trump was faithful to his word by signing an executive order protecting our First Freedom. May 4th of this year marks the one-year anniversary of President Trump issuing his Executive Order Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty—an achievement that has had a tangible impact on the protection and priority of religious freedom throughout the executive branch over the past twelve months.

Now is the time to engage in the issue of religious freedom because it's in our own interest to do so. We finally have the personnel in place to understand and promote this religious freedom worldwide. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has just been confirmed, following the earlier confirmation of Sam Brownback as Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom. Combine that with this president's increasing focus on the issue, and we have a recipe for global success.

 

Now that our government is ready to be engaged on this, what should we do? Our foreign policy professionals have to start by embracing religion as an area of engagement. They've been trained to stay away from it as a "problem" area, but this is the wrong approach. To address the many issues around the world right now, not least of which is radical Islam, we need engagement from within those communities, including from within Muslim communities.

 

And how do you engage religious leaders on the cause of religious freedom if you're not engaging with them at all?

Religious freedom is often dealt with on a case-by-case basis, and for this reason, many foreign policy professionals don't see it as central to their work. But there is an overwhelming correlation between nations which are threats to the United States and nations which violate religious freedom. In light of this, one would think foreign policy professionals would see why they need to understand religion.

Unfortunately, they are trained to think religion is toxic, and we have thus failed to engage on it. Even the nonpartisan Center for Security and International Studies points out our failure in this area. Those who want to brush off religious engagement are aided by courts interpreting the Establishment Clause in an unrealistic and improper manner -- to exclude religious engagement by our government.

All of this, unfortunately, works only to our detriment because if we don't engage religious communities, we can't build conditions for religious freedom.
