Under the Cross of Christ" Today's Top Story: House Republicans Call On Biden To Withdraw From World Health Organization  Republican Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany sent a letter Thursday to President Joe Biden, calling on his administration to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) and requesting documents and communications between the Biden administration and the agency. The Daily Caller first obtained the letter spearheaded by Tiffany and led by three House Republicans on the Republican Study Committee (RSC). In the letter, the lawmakers slam Biden for reversing the Trump administration’s plan to withdraw from the WHO, saying the Biden administration has not achieved any reforms to the organization. They further mention that in April 2022, Biden’s administration proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) that the lawmakers say would expand the WHO’s global influence. The lawmakers then call for documents and communications between the Biden administration and the WHO and IHR. “Joe Biden’s decision to reenter the WHO on his first day in office perfectly represents his America last agenda. Taxpayers should not be forced to fund a destructive and anti-American organization. The WHO must answer for lying about COVID and the lab leak theory, kowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party, and its role in promoting destructive global lockdowns,” Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks told the Daily Caller before sending the letter.   Here Is What The Lawmakers Request In The Letter: The administration’s proposal of amendments to the IHR. The administration’s participation in any proposed pandemic treaty conversations at the WHO Discussions related to Taiwan’s membership of the WHO. Discussions regarding membership of the Assad regime and Russia in the WHO Executive Board. The selection process for the WHO director general. Efforts to remove Item 25 of the WHO.  Source: The Daily Caller Read more. including the text of the actual letter, here.  > > > See also: "Sen. Ron Johnson Leads Bill To Push Back On WHO Overreach, Ensure Senate’s Power Over Pandemic Treaty" - Daily Caller. Go here. - Father God, today we offer praise to You that some of our leaders have heard the cries of Your people in our nation, demanding that the United States have no part in the WHO Pandemic Treaty. We praise You for the courage of Representatives Tom Tinny, Jim Banks, and Senator Ron Johnson to speak up and to submit this letter to the White House. We pray that Joe Biden, himself, will have a change of heart, dear Lord, and that he, too, will retract his support of this treaty. We pray for a miracle, O Lord, we pray. Amen. - "The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes." (Proverbs 21:1)   'We Will Need Your Prayers to Get Us Through This': Uvalde Community Grieves Unbearable Losses More heartbreaking details are emerging from the Texas school massacre where the gunman stormed a classroom and locked the door behind him during a shooting spree that lasted 40 minutes and killed 19 children and two teachers.  Residents of Uvalde, Texas – enduring shock, horror, and disbelief – joined a prayer vigil Wednesday evening to remember the victims of this horrific massacre. "My heart was broken today," said Dr. Hal Harrell, superintendent of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School. "We're a small community and we will need your prayers to get us through this." Churches in and around Uvalde have opened their doors to the grieving community. "I want you to know that we love you," said Pastor Tony Gruben of Baptist Temple Church. Nathan Lorick of the Southern Baptist Convention of Texas told CBN's Faith Nation, that they're sending ministers to Uvalde. "We have deployed some staff members and chaplains," Lorick said. "We have a disaster relief feeding unit on the ground." Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains have also deployed to Uvalde to offer comfort and counsel to the families and other residents.

We simply recite the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, below: "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life. Amen."  A Three-Day Esther Fast Called for Next Week   June 1st - June 4th Kim Chadwell, of Holy Nation Ministries, is calling for a World Fast as part of Pentecost 2022, a Call to Repentance. Her information follows: WHAT A three day, seventy-two hour fast. This is a full Esther fast (dry fast). No eating or drinking.   WHY If My People, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.   God’s Holy People must unite together fasting, and in prayer, lamenting before the Lord, knowing the judgement at hand. We must be united together before the Lord. It is a broken and contrite heart that is pleasing unto God. It is no longer lip service or a flippant apology…we must be fully broken before the Lord in this hour. This is not about denomination, size of ministry, or background. Now is the time where years of ministry, worship, study and serving come together: It is time to fast united together.   WHERE Your home or local gathering or church group. This will be done individually in your home/church/or planned gathering.   WHEN 01 June sundown – 04 June sundown.    DETAILS A schedule of the live podcasts/speakers will be posted a couple of days before the fast begins. Please check here for updates.  Pastor Jeff Daly, Founder, National Day of Repentance, has posted her alert, with all other details included, on his website. You can find that information by going here.  PRAYER POINTS Pray in full personal repentance to the Lord. Pray for world and national repentance. Pray for the protection, provision, and for God’s plan to be fulfilled in your personal life and family. Pray for boldness to stand – and speak – in this hour of judgement. Pray for the protection of those fighting against evil and standing for truth. Pray for the unity of the body of Christ Pray for revival.  In Context: Correlating Strength to its Source The Word of God shows a correlation between the strength of a people and the blessing of God upon a people. “The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace” (Psalm 29:11). One of the manifestations of God's strength for a People is their ability to arm themselves. This can be seen throughout the Scriptures all the way back in Genesis 14:14 when Abraham armed 318 men so they could reclaim his captive brother. God does not always send blessings. Just as God fulfills his promises to bring good things on His People, when they leave Him and serve other gods, God also fulfills his promises to bring harmful things upon His People, up to and including total displacement from the Promised Land (Joshua 23:14-16). When people turn to other gods, and those gods fail to deliver them, they end up oppressed. One of the first steps to oppressing people is disarming them. That's how the Philistines were able to oppress Israel: “Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, ‘Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears’” (1 Samuel 13:19). Further, the Philistines heavily regulated anything the people of Israel could do by which they could circumvent the ban on anything that could be used as military-style assault weapons (1 Samuel 13:20-21). This disarming of a free People is something to correctly be resisted. It should also not be considered only in isolation. That is, we do well to ask ourselves if this problem is also a symptom of a larger problem. Is it a harmful thing intended to be a sign to get the attention of a People that have left God? The Left is becoming increasingly hostile to “thoughts and prayers,” and reducing their meaning to nothing, a platitude at best. Only people who have left God could consider appeals to Him to be so worthless. Do they also have a point? Are our thoughts and prayers to God indicative of God's People not just reacting to harmful incidents but also understanding the much larger need to seek Him for our entire Nation? We do well to defend God-given rights, and we would do well to continually understand and teach the larger context of God's purposes in them. Those in Washington who seek to conserve God's blessings upon this Nation have gotten into a longstanding habit of speaking much about God's values without speaking much of God. We may know and act on the Scriptures, but if we don't cite the Source to teach the People and other leaders, then we leave the door wide open to accusations of just being another pressure group in Washington seeking power and special treatment for its own interests. As is often written on Wikipedia, “[Citation needed].” Church and civic leaders can undergird and reinforce one another in their respective roles. Civic leaders need to punish those who do evil and praise those who do good (1 Peter 2:14; Romans 13:3-4) while explaining their reliance on God's Word to know that which is good and that which is evil. Church leaders need to guide civic leaders by understanding the times at least as much as they understand their congregational finances. Father, we ask for a great returning to in our public words and actions. May we not dismiss as irrelevant anything you consider relevant to our personal relationship with You. We know it is not possible to remain strong or free or at peace without You. Work in our hearts and in the hearts of Leaders Schumer, McConnell, Pelosi, McCarthy, and others, Father, to understand the times, to know what America should do, and to direct this Nation to know, love, and serve you more than it ever has. “…Christ in you, the hope of glory.
