He never would have made it to the White House in 2001 as the country’s 43rd president without the faith-based decision he made in 1986.
“I could not have quit drinking without faith,” former President George W. Bush writes in his memoir, Decision Points, which released Tuesday. “I also don’t think my faith would be as strong if I hadn’t quit drinking.”
It was the first significant decision among several that ultimately solidified Bush’s resolve to act on his belief that God was calling him to lead the nation as president, the memoir shows, according to a report published Wednesday by Religion News Service (RNS).
That his politics were influenced by his faith in God after Bush took office in Jan. 2001is no revelation. But now he recounts in his own words, across the 497 pages, the ways his religious belief shaped his life and his politics, and thus his administration, RNS reported. His reliance on God, though not the central thrust of the book, remains a theme throughout, the report stated.
Some of you may be wondering what Judge Roy Moore has been doing since he was removed from the bench for refusing to remove the Ten Commandments from his courtroom wall.
The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama.
Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer.
He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama!

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, September 24, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pregnant teens often face pressure to undergo an abortion from parents or others – but a new resource soon to be distributed around the country will offer such young women hope and legal recourse in a seemingly hopeless situation.
While many may think of coerced abortion as a phenomenon found only in countries such as China, pro-life sidewalk counselors across America testify to routinely witnessing young girls being practically dragged into abortion clinics by fathers or mothers unwilling to handle their daughters’ pregnancies.
Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League said that, from his experience as a sidewalk counselor outside abortion clinics, coerced abortion is an all-too-frequent phenomenon.
“From what I’ve seen outside abortion facilities, many women — especially young women — are being coerced into aborting their unborn babies,” Scheidler told LifeSiteNews.com. “Often the young woman will clearly want to come over and talk to a pro-life sidewalk counselor, only to have her boyfriend, husband or parent push her on into the clinic, sometimes forcibly.
Dr Graham McLennan from the Canberra Declaration said, “We are calling the people of faith in Australia to set aside Sunday 31 October 2010 as a National Day of Prayer and Fasting for Life. A wave of anti-life sentiment seems to be sweeping Australia. Let us call to the author of life and ask him to intervene in our nation. You might be able to miss a meal, refuse dessert or fast for the day. Ask your friends to do the same. Ask your church to join with youâ€.
Â
Dr Lachlan Dunjey from Medicine with Morality and one of the supporters of the Canberra Declaration said, “The battle for the intrinsic value of all human life intensifies across Australia with the push for euthanasia, unrestricted abortion, the elimination of all that is less than perfect, destructive embryo research and the overriding of conscience in medicine. It is more important than ever before for God’s people to declare that all humanity is created in the Image of God and support this Declaration. People in Victoria please watch www.repealsection8.net.au over the weeks prior to the state election Nov 27 2010 to see how you can vote to support right over wrongâ€.
Â
In the 1890s when Australians were forming the Constitution and the Federal Parliament, it was the intention of the people that the nation could be called to days of prayer and fasting. This national day of prayer and fasting is a move to fulfill those wishes.
Dear family & friends in Christ across Australia in this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit, We forwarding the following thought provoking and very challenging YouTube link that we…
Dear family and friends in Christ,
Following is some very sad and shocking information, including a video link to late-term abortions, that Pr Daniel received today and wanted me to pass it onto you.
According to our understanding the 52 babies who survived late-term abortions in Victoria, Australia as recorded in 2007 were simply left to die.
Please pray and act in any way possible by contacting your local MP or writing a letter.
Also in Victoria you can vote for Pro-Life MPs in this upcoming State Election in November 2010. We will send you the details in the next few weeks.

Dear family & friends in Christ,
The last few months have been very exciting and challenging with people from all walks of life entering the debate about the upcoming Federal Election this Saturday 21st August.
I first want to thank you all for your overwhelming support through the many responses we have received. I would love to respond to every email, but unfortunately it is not practically possible, as I too have a family. My motto is Jesus first, family second and ministry third.
A few people have asked me, “Pastor, should we not pray for Julia Gillard’s salvation? Maybe once she wins the election she might become a Christian. Don’t we as Christians have to love her? Nothing is impossible with God.†And the list goes on and on.
Let me say this, we have to definitely pray for Julia Gillard’s salvation, we even pray for Bob Brown’s salvation.
When the election was announced, during that first week, we had one of our RUA prayer meeting in the western suburbs of Melbourne in Ms Gillard’s electorate. Around 20 of us went down to her office, placed oil on the doors and windows, and prayed for an hour around the place. (more…)
Dear family & friends in Christ,
Let me start by saying that our battle is not against flesh & blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness in high places (Eph. 6:11-12).
We as pastors and Christian leaders are accountable to God to lead the flock He has entrusted into our hands in the right path. We must stop being politically correct, and return to being biblically correct. We desperately need your faithful intercessory prayer support (1 Timothy 2:1-7).
In the last few days I have received several phone calls and emails from Christians (including pastors and other Christian leaders) around the country asking me as to why Australian Christian Lobby appears to be promoting self-confessing atheist Julia Gillard for PM in this election and why the Senior Pastor of City Life Church recently stated in the Age newspaper on 6th August that he was not overly concerned by PM Julia Gillard’s atheism, ”Primarily you are looking at them to have what it takes to run the nation.”
http://www.theage.com.au/federal-election/gillard-bid-to-win-back-christians-20100805-11krh.html
I personally called the Senior Pastor to speak to him, but he was out of the country, so I spoke to his personal assistant who was very kind and cooperative in assuring me that she will talk to him and get back to me. As promised she did call me and confirmed that the Pastor had spoken to the Age newspaper journalist and that his response was on his blog.
I read through his blog, but could not find a clear answer to the question as to whether or not it concerned him that the PM was an atheist, so I also contacted the Age journalist who told me that his question to the Pastor about his concern over the PM’s atheism was very straight forward. For which the Pastor responded by saying, ”Primarily you are looking at them to have what it takes to run the nation.”Â
We also recently read in the news media and on the ACL website that ACL (Australian Christian Lobby) was successful in getting PM Julia Gillard to speak to the Christian voters through the ACL website, where she made several promises in order to win back the Christian vote.
http://www.theage.com.au/federal-election/gillard-pitches-to-christian-voters-20100807-11pih.html
The question we all need to ask is, “Was PM Gillard genuine or was she simply making promises that she will never deliver. I was surprised when I heard that ACL was giving such a forum to Julia Gillard, knowing very well that she is an atheist. Many asked me “Why is ACL doing this again as they did the same with Rudd?†I honestly cannot understand how a Christian leader could give an atheist such a platform to mislead the Christian voters.
Dear friends and family in Christ, Following is an article that appeared in The Australian National Newspaper on July 13th, 2010 titled ‘Religious Right’s attack on the PM’. Praise the…
Dear friends and family in Christ,
Â
Shortly after Kevin Rudd was elected as PM in late 2007 or early 2008, at a Wednesday CTFM Prayer Meeting in Melbourne during our worship time, Ps Daniel suddenly gasped and later shared a vision of Julia Gillard stabbing Kevin Rudd in the back. He interpreted this as Ms Gillard making a challenge for the leadership at some stage and deposing Kevin Rudd.
Â
Just before leaving for Israel in May 2010, at an office daily prayer time, Ps Daniel was musing about the possibility of Ms Gillard making a challenge and the speculations that were in the press. I reminded him of the vision he had some years before, which jogged his memory. On his return this week, the fatal blow had been made in Canberra and we now have a new Prime Minister. At our prayer meeting on Wednesday, many others present also remembered the vision he had some 2 years ago.
Â
On ABC radio 774 on 29/6/10 John Faine interviewed PM Julia Gillard. Normally not one to support Christian causes, he asked her directly, “Do you believe in God?â€, to which she replied that she did not.Â
Â
She had grown up in the Baptist Church and attended youth group, but as an adult had made other choices. He then mentioned that both Kevin Rudd and John Howard had made a point of being seen attending church and courting the Christian vote.Â
Dear friends and family in Christ,
1) All glory to God! Another baby has been saved through Options Plus Care Pregnancy crisis counselling division of Catch The Fire Ministries. We thank God that after the re-launch of this ministry a few months ago, there has been a flood of inquiries for help, support and ministry.
Â
We praise God for every opportunity He gives us to proclaim the good news of the Gospel and carry out the mandate God gave Pastor Daniel, which is: “To Save A Life and Save A Soulâ€
Â
I was so thrilled when I received a call asking for help regarding a young woman who was pregnant.  I visited the home on several occasions, and then found out that they were Muslims.  I was so very excited that God had taken me into their lives as a light.  I soon realised that this young mum to be and her mother both needed our help, as there was no real male figure in the house.
Â
Praise God for His wonderful grace and counsel through the Holy Spirit, which enabled this young girl to give birth to a very healthy baby boy on Monday the 17th of May.  They now call us their family and I know that before long they will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
Â
Pastor Daniel visited the family in hospital within 24 hours of the birth.  They were so happy to see him and this is such a miracle, a Muslim family so excited to see a Christian Minister. (more…)
Dear family & friends in Christ,
Â
Around 100,000 babies are aborted every year in Australia.
Â
We at CTFM thank the Lord for every single person who has been working tirelessly to reduce this number and we continue to pray against the legalisation and practice of abortion.
Â
No one thought that the slave trade would stop, but thanks to William Wilberforce and others it did. So too, we pray the same regarding the ending of abortion.
Â
I know we all need to pray and lobby our politicians, but what is equally important is to help these people not to have an abortion through counselling and supporting them. Yes, this is what Options + Care is all about. Even if someone decides to have an abortion after counselling, we will continue to love and help them as much as possible.Â
Â
Thank you so much for your prayer and practical support as the Options + Care Orientation Day on 17th April was a great success. Pas Daniel shared the vision that God gave him in 1998 while he was in the USA to be a Voice for the Voiceless. Sister Geraldine, the coordinator for O+C , shared her heart and passion to save the next generation of children in Australia. Then the team watched a very challenging DVD titled ‘After The Choice’ that included a group of women talking about what happened after their abortions. There was not a dry eye in the place as everyone watched these ladies share how they all suffered in silence for many years and pleaded with others not to have an abortion. (more…)
Dear family & friends in Christ,
Â
In 1998 God birthed in Pr Daniel’s heart to start the Options + Care Pregnancy Counselling Centre in Australia.
Â
He challenged him with the following words, “Will you be a Voice for the Voiceless?â€Â
Â
The motto of this ministry is ‘Save A Life and Save A Soul!’
Â
We have seen many babies saved through O + C over the past 12 years. Now that God has provided us with a much needed Ultra-Sound machine, we believe that this is a new season to see more babies saved!
Â
We believe even as we continue to pray for abortions to become illegal in Australia, we also need to act in order to save the next generation of Aussie’s in our nation.
Â
Following is a opportunity for you to become a part of this great ministry serving the Body of Christ and local communities across our nation.
Â
Options Plus Care (Pregnancy Counselling Service) – Orientation Day, Saturday April 17th, 2010 - 10.30am to 12.00pm at CTFM Base, 23 Melverton Dr, Hallam. Â
