Final Special Rick Scarborough Report for 2008:

 

Enough Is Enough

 

“America is facing the gravest challenge since the Second World War, and one that will forever change the course of this great nation” – Pastor Rick Scarborough

 

Dear Vision America Family,

 

As the end of the year approaches, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who receives this Report and prays for our efforts.  Because we now have over 1,000,000 subscribers, I am certain some will forward this email to friends who do not typically read our reports so let me rehearse who I am and what I do, and most importantly, why.

 

I am a Pastor by training and calling, committed to shepherding and caring for the flock of God.  I currently Pastor a church in Nacogdoches, Texas.  In 1992, while pastoring a growing church on the southeast side of Houston, Texas, I was confronted with an assembly being sponsored by the AIDS Foundation of Houston, which advocated lifestyle choices I considered immoral and improper for a high school assembly, so I did something about it.  I went to the assembly which two of my three children attended, confronted the speaker’s facts from the floor, and tape recorded her remarks which I subsequently made public. 

 

The following Sunday I read her remarks from our pulpit to the more than 1000 people in attendance, four letter words and all.  That resulted in a mobilized and infuriated congregation.  What followed made national headlines and has been reported in numerous books and periodicals, including my best selling full length book which was first printed in 1996, Enough is Enough, and was updated and re-released nationwide this year.

 

More importantly, I began preaching the necessity of Christians being salt and light in society, and encouraging our people to run for public office.  Members of that congregation soon controlled both the local school board and city council and we soon had a sitting District Judge and finally a State Representative.  The crowning achievement of our efforts was a coalition of Pastors from around the area who worked together for over two years and assisted in dislodging one of the most liberal members of the US Congress, an incumbent of more than 25 years, and replacing him with an openly confessing conservative Christian Representative.

 

In 1998 I launched a nationwide effort to mobilize Pastors into the political arena called Vision America.  In 2002 I resigned the church in Houston after 12 years and began working full-time to move Pastors into the arena of public policy.  We have grown every year and we have established a firm footing in the national debates.  We saw wonderful advances in our efforts to turn back abortion, stop the radical homosexual agenda, and convincing pastors of their responsibilities to get involved, taking their Biblically based convictions into the public square.

 

But all that changed in November of this year when Barrack Obama, the most pro-choice, pro-homosexual, pro-big government liberal to ever run for the Presidency, was elected to be our next President.  Unbelievably, at least to me, was the discovery that millions of professing Christians voted for him, suspending their Biblical convictions as they blindly voted for change. 

 

I believe that America is facing the gravest challenge since the Second World War, and one that will forever change the course of this great nation if Christians do not experience a renewed commitment to freedom and understanding of the role of God in government.

 

There is not space nor time to report all that I believe on this subject here, but for everyone who will assist Vision America with a gift as this year closes, of at least $25.00, I will send a free copy of my book, Enough is Enough.  For gifts of $100.00 or more I will send all 5 of my books, including Judicial Tyranny, which was compiled by my good friend, Mark Sutherland, which contains chapters by James Dobson, Judge Roy Moore and others.  I contributed two chapters to the book and I believe it is must reading for anyone who loves this country and who wants to understand why elections matter.

I am not hopeless, but I do believe that Christians and other god-fearing Americans must be willing to confront what Barrack Hussein Obama has made clear will be the most radical pro-abortion and pro-homosexual big government administration ever.  We still have friends in Congress, but we must mobilize millions of Americans to stand with them and let them know we are here to pray and to act!

 

I hold in my possession a 55 page report posted on Obama’s transition website which contains the battle plan for expanding abortion world wide at tax payer expense.  Homosexual activists, who monitor this email alert and routinely send me threats, have made it clear they EXPECT payback for their support of Obama’s campaign, and are demanding that they be given not just equal rights, but preferential treatment.  Just look at how they have reacted to the choice of an evangelical minister praying at the inauguration! 

 

And now we are hearing of plans to take the financial crisis this country is facing and using it as the gateway to nationalizing enormous chunks of the American economy, moving us down the road to European style socialism.  One of the foundational principles of the Declaration of Independence was the inalienable right to pursue happiness.  With nationalized healthcare, no health care professional will ever be included in that right again, and you will see an erosion of the greatest healthcare system the world has ever known.

 

Beloved, I have written in detail about all of this, and I want to send you a copy of my book, free, as an expression of my appreciation of your gift to our work.  I would offer it free for any size gift, but those who hate what Vision America does would surely attempt to bankrupt our ministry with hundreds of $1.00 gifts.  Please consider giving the greatest gift you can afford as this year closes.  All gifts to Vision America are tax deductible.  Gifts to Vision America Action are not deductible but they do allow us greater freedom to speak out on political issues and we welcome gifts to VAA.  Which ever is best for you, know that we are grateful and will use it to call this nation back to God.

 

Our whole team wishes you and yours a Blessed New Year. 

 

Sincerely,

Pastor Rick Scarborough

Founder and President of Vision America
