Augustine
Breath in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. |
We continue to prayer over all Legislators……….Keep your eyes on the pot bill. Please pray for the defeat of legalized pot. The Dems have taken control of New Mexico. Many of us and our interests are being left behind. God’s babies will continue to die. The House Speaker has kicked Clergy out of the Roundhouse, no more prayer led by Pastors. It has gotten very ugly!
Nothing has changed in the killing of God’s Babies in New Mexico, in 2019 over 5,000 were aborted. Over 5,000 deaths in 2020?
Are we headed to legalize pot?

From Dr. Jim Denison:
In this post-Christian culture, it is vital to remember that unity is not uniformity. God’s people have historically spoken boldly and courageously for biblical principles. Think of Moses demanding that Pharaoh release his people from slavery, or Nathan exposing David’s sin (2 Samuel 12:1–15), or Daniel warning Belshazzar of pending judgment (Daniel 5:17–23), or Peter and the apostles refusing the Sanhedrin’s demand that they cease preaching the gospel (Acts 5:27–32).
Their proclamation is our commitment: “We must serve God rather than men” (v. 29).
At the same time, we are required to speak graciously rather than abrasively, redemptively rather than defensively. When you and I “make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you,” we are to do so “with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame” (1 Peter 3:15–16, my emphasis).
Behaving “with gentleness and respect” does not exempt us from opposition. Rather, it describes how we are to respond to it.
James Koester of the Society of St. John the Evangelist noted: “God’s gift of love to us in Jesus does not separate us from those who are different. It unites us, in one loving embrace. We forget that when we believe we are God’s favorite, to the detriment of all others.”
“Speaking the truth in love” must always be our commitment and example (Ephesians 4:15).

NM House Passes $7.6 Billion Budget Plan
‘The People’s Budget’ voted down by Democrats
Santa Fe, NM- House Democrats today voted down ‘The People’s Budget,’ a proposal presented by Representative Jason Harper (R-Rio Rancho) as an alternative to House Bill 2.
“It is shocking that our colleagues continue to spend at these reckless levels, worse than Governor Richardson’s spending,” said Representative Jason Harper, “The People’s Budget was a proposal that had the potential to radically improve educational outcomes and provided New Mexicans with relief from over-taxation.”
Representative Harper’s proposal would have increased the state budget by a reasonable and sustainable 4.3%, paid every New Mexican a $200 payment from the recent surplus, and created a game changing program aimed at improving academic progress for at-risk students.
“Democrats in the Governor’s office and in the legislature have proven once again that they shouldn’t be trusted with your checkbook,” said House Republican Whip Rod Montoya.
The Peoples Budget proposal was voted down by a party line vote in the chamber late Wednesday afternoon.
“By increasing our state budget by 20% in the last two years the Democrats in control have set us up for future budget cuts and massive tax increases,” said House Republican Leader Jim Townsend, “Our budget would have established a sustainable path to prosperity without burdening our wage-earners.”

NM Taxpayer Bill of Rights dies in first committee
Santa Fe, NM – House Republican Whip Rod Montoya (R-Farmington) yesterday presented HJR 5, New Mexico’s Taxpayer Bill of Rights in the House Consumer & Public Affairs committee. The measure was tabled on a party line vote with three Democrats voting to stop the legislation.
“Santa Fe politicians and their special interest groups are on an unsustainable spending spree,” said House Republican Whip Rod Montoya, “When government over-taxes it’s citizens resulting in a giant surplus, it only makes sense to return some of the money. Citizens across this state want accountability from the legislature and unfortunately Santa Fe is not listening.”
The constitutional amendment would have restrained annual spending by state lawmakers and required any future tax increase to be approved by a three-fifths majority in both chambers. Additionally, the measure would have provided wage-earning New Mexicans with annual rebates after spending limits are met.
