Who does the satanic statue symbolize? Has it been “traveling” across

Title: Is a Revival Possible in the Midst of Disobedience?
Topic: Christian Responsibilities
Discussed by Reverend Dave Welch
with US Pastor Council (US Pastor Council)
Dave Welch, President of the US Pastor Council, recently wrote a compelling
editorial
urging Christ-followers to stop being complacent and stop ignoring the blatant
sin in our country. He wrote: “It’s not politics; it’s ministry!”
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is the cry for revival widespread?
Do sins hide the face of God from His people? Dave reminds us that God does not
require sacrifice from us, but obedience. He also urges us, as Christ-followers,
to unite to bring our country back to God.
Is the Church deaf, blind, and/or silent to the evil permeating our society, our
communities, and our homes?
Do the elected leaders of Houston reflect the values of Christ? Dave quotes
Micah 6:8, saying: “When we accommodate sin, we accommodate evil… and our
position as a nation is a deep reflection of the ineffectiveness of the Church
to bring transformation in Christ’s name to the culture around us.”
When it comes to elections, are Christ-followers content to vote for the lesser
of two evils?
Is it time for Christ-followers to take a stand for righteousness and holiness?
In Dave’s opinion, why don’t more godly men and women run for political office?
Dave Welch urges people to listen for God’s voice and direction and to be
obedient to the call of public office.

Title: Parents Have the Right to Choose their Child’s Education Path
Topic: School Choice
Discussed by Reverend Dave Welch
with US Pastor Council (US Pastor Council)
Pastor Charles Johnson with Pastors for Texas Children once
declared that the act of allowing parents access to their own money to choose
the best educational environment is “sinful”.
Reverend Dave Welch, President of the US Pastor Council, disputes this claim wholeheartedly. In fact, Reverend Welch writes: “Children are a gift from the Lord according to Psalm 127:3 and parents are given primary duty before God to train up a child in His way, so they should not be forced into an atmosphere hostile to that charge as well as not even meeting basic academic needs.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is the group Pastors for Texas Children really a front group for teacher unions? Reverend Dave Welch reveals who funds this group and warns Christians, especially church leaders, to ignore their suggestions.
Are public schools really “government” schools?
Should the state/government have a complete monopoly through forced taxation without parental freedom over the education of children? Reverend Welch gives a brief history lesson – something we all should know and remember. He also wonders why a school district in North Texas has been given nearly $100 MILLION for a new football stadium, but is begging for money for other areas. He says: “It’s not just a monopoly; it’s a conspiracy to control.”
Does a monopoly always produce inefficiency, waste, and cost more?
Are children being forced into an atmosphere hostile to the morals and values of their parents?
Have many pastors joined with the US Pastor Council working to empower parents through
Universal Education Savings Accounts?

reputation, character, integrity, and proven faith to serve in governing
positions?
Should pastors teach and apply biblical principles to the issues of the day?
Should pastors teach biblical citizenship within their church?

The Log Cabin Republicans (LCR) have requested full recognition from the Republican Party of Texas as a coalition. They have also requested booth space at the State Convention.

Does the law allow private organizations to exclude some from joining their membership?
So…. who are the Log Cabin Republicans? What is their goal? Why do the
LCR want full membership to the Republican Party and a booth at the TRSC? Why did the Republican State Committee reject their petition? Did they reject other organizations, as well?
Will the Republican Party lose voters because of their decision? Dave reminds us of the “Reagan Three-Legged Stool”…

Title: The Greater Good Doctrine
Topic: Homosexual Agenda
Discussed by Reverend Dave Welch
with US Pastor Council (US Pastor Council)
All across the
United States, city councils are passing “Equal Rights” ordinances
similar to the one in Houston. Who wins and who loses? Where do we
draw the line on who is allowed to marry? Where is the greater good?
Dave Welch is the Director of the Houston Pastor Council. He says, “Ultimately
there cannot be a line drawn if you cut loose the anchor of the historic
relevance of the marriage union as one man and one woman.” If the SCOTUS
redefines marriage and allows gays to marry in every state in America, it will
exclude someone somewhere and there will be no end to regression.
Contrary to what you may have heard or read or seen in a Tweet, there is not any
systematic discrimination occurring to warrant the “Equal Rights”
ordinances. Listen in as Dave discusses these so-called multi-million dollar “Human
Rights Campaigns” and what the US Pastor Council members – and Christians,
in general – across the country are doing to fight the LGBT.

Discussed by Reverend Dave Welch
with US Pastor Council (US Pastor Council)
Part 1 of 2
Is the day coming when a Jewish house of worship will be forced to perform a
Muslin marriage and vice versa? Will Baptist preachers be forced to perform a
same-sex marriage? Actually, that day may be here sooner then we think.
Houston Mayor Annise Parker centered her re-election campaign around her sexual
preference, which is a same-sex attraction. She even went as far as going to
California to get “married” to gain support.
Now, Mayor Parker wants to model Houston after San Antonio and their lack of
respect for all things Christian. Listen in as Dave Welch, with the US Pastor
Council, explains why we cannot allow this to happen.

Also, HB-2, which was passed by the Texas Legislature last summer, outlawed abortions after the 20th week and required the clinics to abide by the same safety standards as other ambulatory clinics. In my opinion, everyone – even the Pro-Choice crowd – should have been grateful that our Elected Officials cared so much about the health and safety of the women and unborn babies who would visit the clinics.
So why was Wendy Davis so against the bill?

Defend the Alamo. Progressives on the San Antonio City Council are
considering disqualifying anyone who believes homosexual conduct is wrong from

The bullies further forbid the city from doing business with anyone who fails to
espouse politically correct views. This is not in:
1. San Francisco
2. Somewhere else in California
3. But in San Antonio, Texas – the home of the Alamo
As for me, I go to church, the preacher preaches, and I will NOT go to San

Discussed by Reverend Dave Welch
with US Pastor Council (US Pastor Council)
Part 1 of 2
Several weeks ago, a
gay activist appeared before the Harris County Republican Party Vacancy
Committee seeking to be appointed as Chairman to an open precinct.
He claims he was denied the appointment due to his sexual preference. The host
of the What’s UP Radio Program, Terry Lowry, voted with the majority in denying
his application.
As a result, the Houston Young Republicans arranged for opposing viewpoints to
discuss whether or not the Harris County Republican Party should appoint an
activist for the LGBT movement into a leadership position, amongst other issues
involving the Log Cabin Republican agenda.
One of the speakers was Pastor Dave Welch, the founder and Executive Director of
the Houston Area Pastor Council.
This first segment today is his “pre” interview with Terry Lowry before the
