Whether you agree or not with this, it is not right that ‘We the People’ are not having input in this and we are not allowed in the Roundhouse when laws like this are made! This is another example of Governor Lujan Grisham’s ‘power grab.’ The Progressives rule New Mexico. The GOP needs new leadership at the top, otherwise they will continue to lose. Sometimes, or a lot of times, I do not think the GOP realizes it is the minority party in New Mexico. It is like the Church, it needs to carry out THE GREAT COMMISSION, they better work hard at converting Dems and Independents. As we said in the day, ‘The GOP is stuck in the mud.’ At this point the GOP is preaching to the choir. New Mexico is an anti-life state, abortion, assisted suicide, record amount of child abuse, murders, pot, home delivery of booze…that sure improves the quality of life here. Where is the Church? The Church is losing its influence everyday, not only New Mexico, but in our entire Nation. It’s our own fault. As I preached on Sunday, the Church is fighting a 10 alarm fire with a garden house. This is Spiritual warfare, Satan is having his way with so very many right here in New Mexico and in our entire nation.
New Mexico lawmakers vote to ban guns from Roundhouse
FGGAM received this news release:
Senate Republican Leader Greg Baca and Senate Republican Whip Craig Brandt issue statement on banning of firearms at the Capitol
New rule change by Democratic leaders would ban all firearms from Capitol grounds
SANTA FE – Today, Democrats on the Legislative Council voted to ban firearms on Capitol grounds. The Roundhouse is widely regarded as the most publicly accessible state Capitol in the nation. The resolution passed today is a radical shift in the approach to citizens’ rights in a public building. As adopted, the rule gives the Democratic Speaker of the House and Senate President Pro-Tempore the sole authority to authorize anyone without an exception to carry a firearm.
Senator Greg Baca (District 29-Bernalillo and Valencia) and Senator Craig Brandt (District 40-Sandoval), who both voted against the measure, issued the following statement regarding the rule change:
“It is clear that Democratic leaders in New Mexico know no bounds when it comes to their unchecked power. Although we are used to legislative assaults on New Mexican’s rights, this is a uniquely bad, overly-broad, and rushed proposal that was written by politicians, not safety experts. The complete subversion of the legislative process is a disgraceful relinquishment of the mandate of our chambers. We swore under oath to defend our constituents’ rights, not interpret them as we see fit. As with all assaults on the Second Amendment, this ban is solely an assault on law abiding citizens and does nothing to improve security. With no one to stop a criminal from jeopardizing all of our safety, this rule does little more than paint a target on our building for those who wish to do harm.”
We also heard from one of the GOP candidates for Governor:
TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES – The New Mexico Legislative Council tonight passed a proposal banning firearms including concealed handguns and other “dangerous weapons” from the capitol complex.
This proposal is in direct defiance of the Constitution of New Mexico Section 6 which says “No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing herein shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms.”
Gubernatorial candidate Rebecca Dow gave the following statement regarding the proposal:
“Speaker Egolf and the radicals in the legislature have no reason for putting these anti-gun measures in place for law abiding citizens other than their lack of education about firearms, lack of regard for our Constitution, and lack of connection to the everyday New Mexican. This is just another instance of our government under the direction of MLG disregarding the rights of law abiding New Mexicans for their own political gain. We’ve seen our radical government leaders sign away our right to bear arms year after year, then threaten our law enforcement after they explained the laws were unenforceable. Then we saw them target gun retailers, slapping them with massive fines for not operating under MLG’s strict shutdown orders. Now, in a place that should be protecting our rights, the Council and Speaker Egolf seek to destroy them. I have fought the radical legislature on this issue before, and I am happy to stand up to them again. We need to send a message that our freedoms are more important than their political agenda.”
An Excerpt from “Power Through Prayer” by E. M. Bounds
The preacher’s sharpest and strongest preaching should be to himself. His most difficult, delicate, laborious, and thorough work must be with himself. The training of the twelve was the great, difficult, and enduring work of Christ. Preachers are not sermon-makers, but men-makers, and saint-makers. Only he who has made himself a man and a saint is well-trained for this business. God does not need great talents, great learning, or great preachers, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God. He needs men who are always preaching holy sermons in the pulpit and living holy lives out of it. These can mold a great generation for God.
After this order, the early Christians were formed. They were men of solid mold, preachers after the heavenly type–heroic, stalwart, soldierly, saintly. To them, preaching meant self-denying, self-crucifying, serious, toilsome, martyr business. They applied themselves to it in a way that influenced their generation and formed in its womb a generation yet unborn for God. The preaching man is to be the praying man. Prayer is the preacher’s mightiest weapon. An almighty force in itself, it gives life and force to all.
The real sermon is made in the closet. The man—God’s man—is made in the closet. His life and his most profound convictions are born in his secret communion with God. The burdened and tearful agony of his spirit, his weightiest and sweetest messages are received when alone with God. Prayer makes the man; prayer makes the preacher; prayer makes the pastor.
The pulpit of this day is weak in praying. The pride of learning is in opposition to the dependent humility of prayer. In the pulpit, prayer is all too often only official—a performance for the routine of service. In the modern pulpit, prayer is not the mighty force it was in Paul’s life or ministry. Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God’s work and is powerless to advance God’s cause in this world.
PRAY TEAM JESUS FOR EVERY STATE IN AMERICA TO STAND IN THE GAP FOR GOD’S BABIES LIKE TEXAS!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BE LIKE NEW MEXICO!!!!!!!! Abortions are down 50% in Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
