Today, a Department of Health and Human Services? mandate goes into effect. This order issued under provisions in President Obama?s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act forces employers, regardless of their religious or moral convictions, to provide insurance covering abortion-inducing drugs and voluntary sterilizations and other immoral treatments under threat of heavy penalties.
Last week, Faith and Action president Rev. Rob Schenck and Mrs. Cheryl Schenck attended the Evangelical Church Alliance at its annual meeting in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Rob chairs ECA?s Committee on Church and Society and gave his report on the health insurance crisis for religious organizations, calling Evangelical missionaries, ministers and military chaplains to righteous resistance against this unjust law. He also delivered his annual missionary field report to the full convention.
In February, a State of Emergency Declaration by Rob was delivered to President Obama, and you can the letter by clicking here. While receipt of the letter was acknowledged, President Obama made no mention of the letter?s content nor the National Clergy Council?s concerns about religious liberty.
However, there is hope because Hercules Industries, a for-profit business owned by the Newland family in Colorado, has won a preliminary injunction against the HHS/Obama mandate in federal court. This family is Catholic and they employ over 265 persons full-time.
Friday, Alliance Defending Freedom, the law firm representing the plaintiffs in Newland v. Sebelius, announced that Senior Judge John Kane of the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado ruled the federal government?s arguments ?are countered, and indeed outweighed, by the public interest in the free exercise of religion. As the Tenth Circuit has noted, ?there is a strong public interest in the free exercise of religion even where that interest may conflict with [another statutory scheme]?.? Accordingly, the public interest favors entry of an injunction in this case.? Judge Kane also wrote that the government?s ?harm pales in comparison to the possible infringement upon Plaintiffs? constitutional and statutory rights.?

Meanwhile, Paul McGuire, Christian author of the 2010 book ?Are You Ready for the Microchip??,? warns: ?In the massive U.S. healthcare bill, which your elected representatives voted for without reading, there is a section titled: Subtitle C-11 Sec. 2521 ? National Medical Device Registry which states:
?The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the ?registry?) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that???(A) is or has been used in or on a patient; and ??(B) is a class III device; or ??(ii) a class II device that is implantable.?
McGuire further explains: ?The language is deliberately vague, but it provides the structure for making America the first nation in the world that would require every U.S. citizen to receive an implanted radio-frequency (RFID) microchip for the purpose of controlling medical care.?
As always, Rev. Rob Schenck urges all Americans to keep the faith and fight the good fight. And as Rob travels the country encouraging Christians to engage in the political process; as he engages our national leaders and presidential candidates on your behalf, please click here to join Faith and Action?s ministry as Rob requests in Let Your Voice Be Heard Loud & Clear!
God bless America!
