An Open Letter to James Talarico

8

I woke up early Saturday morning with James Talarico on my mind. As I tried to go back to sleep, I literally said, “Lord, I don’t want to be thinking about James Talarico!!”

I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I got up, made a pot of coffee, and started to scroll on my phone through Facebook as the coffee was brewing expecting to sit down and have my quiet time with the Lord.

But what was the first thing I saw?! The following open letter from Pastor Jeff Mullen to Texas State Representative James Talarico. I wasn’t a follower of Pastor Mullen, although I am now, but one of my Facebook friends had shared this letter.

I knew this couldn’t be a “coincidence.”

I too have been posting about the false teachings of Talarico who claims to be a Christian pastor and seminary student while running as a Democrat for a Texas Senate seat. What has frustrated me, and maybe you too, is not only the way Talarico twists Scripture to endorse his party’s radical progressive liberal godless agenda, but that many people are gobbling it up because he’s trying to use Scripture to endorse sin.

They’re calling his false teachings “real Christianity” when it’s actually “real satanic.”

What I appreciated about Pastor Mullen’s letter below is that as one Facebook follower commented: “Such relevant insights, written in love while proclaiming truth.”

The only thing that Pastor Mullen didn’t address is Talarico referring to women as “neighbors with uteruses” and that his favorite people are trans children!

Talarico also recently gave the opening invocation as a current Texas State Rep where he addressed God as a “Holy mystery” with “so many names.”

He stated: “The Torah calls you Creator. The Quran calls you Peace. The Gita calls you Destroyer. The Dharma calls you Truth, and the First Epistle of John calls you perhaps the most beautiful name of all, Love.”

My response to him is the Book of John does NOT call Jesus “Love,” and He didn’t call himself Love. John opens with calling Jesus “the Word.”

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

Exodus 20:3 states, “Thou shalt have NO OTHER Gods before me!” Talarico must’ve missed that important commandment.

Whether or not you live in Texas, it should upset you as a Christian that Talarico’s blasphemy is being passed off as “Christianity.”

You may be wondering, like me, why the Democrat party would try and run such a controversial candidate in the state of Texas. As I thought about it several reasons came to mind.

  1. The Democrat party before the 2024 election hired a very expensive “Christian” consulting firm to advise them on how to attract the Christian vote since their entire platform is anti-God and anti-Christian. But this firm was actually liberal woke. I remember laughing when I heard this.
  2. The Democrat party is so clueless about Christianity that they think Christians will vote for anyone who calls themselves a “Christian” even though he espouses and stands for the complete opposite of biblical doctrine.
  3. The Democrat party underestimated real Christians who can’t be intimidated, tricked, or manipulated.

The positive that’s come out of the media coverage of the Democrat darling Talarico is that more and more Christians are speaking out with the truth that counters Talarico’s false teaching. Like Pastor Mullen, many on social media, conservative news programs, and Bible believing Christians are countering Talarico with contextual biblical truths.

I hope you’ll read Pastor Mullen’s letter below and share this blog. It will also give you biblical responses when you encounter people who are believing Talarico’s heretical abuse of Scripture.

Remember even Satan knows Scripture and twists it to tempt and deceive.

Here is Pastor Mullen’s Open Letter to James Talarico . . .

I don’t typically write open letters…

Dear Representative Talarico,

My name is Jeff Mullen. As a pastor who spent thirty years shepherding God’s people, I have learned that what we believe about God shapes everything else. That is why I am writing this letter.

I do not write as a political opponent, but as a fellow citizen concerned about the growing confusion surrounding faith, truth, and Scripture. Because you frequently speak about Christianity, quote the Bible, and present your views as expressions of Christian conviction, I believe those claims deserve to be examined in light of God’s Word.

One of my greatest concerns is that many people know you are currently pursuing a Master of Divinity degree at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary while serving as a Texas State Representative and working toward ordination in the Presbyterian Church. As a result, many people understandably assume that your theological conclusions represent historic biblical Christianity. Your words, therefore, carry weight far beyond politics.

When theological claims are presented in the name of Christ, people naturally assume they are hearing biblical truth. My concern is that some of the positions you advocate may lead sincere people away from the clear teaching of Scripture and toward a version of Christianity that reflects the spirit of the age more than the Word of God.

Over thirty years of ministry, I have sat beside hospital beds, preached funerals, counseled struggling families, and watched countless people wrestle with questions of faith. One lesson stands above the rest: when we drift from Scripture, confusion always follows.

James warns that those who teach will be judged more strictly (James 3:1). That reality has humbled me throughout my ministry, and it should humble anyone who publicly speaks in the name of Christ.

For that reason, I offer these thoughts—not as an attack, but as a pastoral appeal for biblical clarity and faithfulness.

1. Concerning Your Statement That God Is Non-Binary

God is spirit and transcends human limitations. Christians agree on that. The question, however, is not how modern culture categorizes God but how God has chosen to reveal Himself. Throughout Scripture, God consistently reveals Himself as Father. Jesus taught His disciples to pray, “Our Father in heaven” (Matthew 6:9). Christ is the Son, and the Church is His Bride. These are not accidental descriptions but part of God’s self-revelation.

Every generation faces the temptation to reshape God according to its own values. Ancient cultures carved idols from stone. Modern cultures often carve them from ideology. Faithful Christianity begins by allowing God to define Himself rather than redefining Him according to cultural preferences. We do not improve upon divine revelation; we submit to it.

2. Concerning Your Statement That Other Religions Are Circling the Same Truth

Respect for people of different faiths is a Christian virtue. Surrendering truth is not. The suggestion that multiple religions ultimately lead to the same God stands in direct conflict with the words of Jesus Himself.

Jesus declared, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). Peter echoed that truth when he proclaimed, “There is salvation in no one else” (Acts 4:12). Christianity does not teach that all roads lead to God. It teaches that God has provided one Savior for the world. We can love our neighbors of every faith while remaining faithful to the exclusive claims of Christ.

3. Concerning Your Statement That the Bible Is Silent on Abortion

While Scripture does not use the modern term abortion, it speaks clearly about life in the womb. David wrote, “You knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13). God told Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you” (Jeremiah 1:5). John the Baptist responded to Christ while still in his mother’s womb (Luke 1:41).

The consistent testimony of Scripture is that unborn children are known by God, created by God, and valued by God. The question is not whether the word abortion appears in the Bible. The question is whether the child in the womb is a human life bearing God’s image. Scripture answers that question repeatedly and clearly. Christians have historically defended the unborn not because of politics, but because every human life belongs to God.

4. Concerning Your Use of Mary’s Consent to Defend Abortion Rights

Mary’s response to Gabriel was not an assertion of autonomy but an expression of surrender. When told of God’s plan, she replied, “I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38).

The entire story of the incarnation celebrates the acceptance and protection of life within the womb. God Himself entered humanity through the womb of a woman. Mary’s example is not about the right to end life but the willingness to trust God with it. To use the incarnation as support for abortion requires reversing the very message the story proclaims.

5. Concerning Your Statement That Jesus Was a Radical Feminist

Jesus elevated the dignity of women in ways that challenged the culture of His day. He taught women, ministered to women, welcomed them among His followers, and entrusted women with proclaiming His resurrection.

Yet calling Jesus a radical feminist places a modern political label on One who transcends every political movement. Jesus did not come to advance an ideology; He came to save sinners and establish the Kingdom of God. Every political movement must ultimately be measured against Christ—not Christ against a political movement.

6. Concerning Your Statements About Biological Sex

Conversations about sex and gender involve real people and often deep personal struggles. Christians should approach them with compassion and humility. Yet compassion cannot require the abandonment of truth.

Scripture teaches that humanity was intentionally created as male and female. Genesis declares, “Male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27), and Jesus reaffirmed that truth (Matthew 19:4). The Christian understanding of sex is rooted not in cultural tradition but in God’s design. Our identity is not ultimately discovered through self-definition but through submission to the One who created us. God’s design is not restrictive; it is wise and good.

7. Concerning Your Support for Same-Sex Marriage and the Reinterpretation of Biblical Sexual Ethics

Few issues create more tension in modern Christianity than sexuality and marriage. The temptation is either to compromise truth in the name of love or abandon love in the name of truth. Scripture calls us to neither.

From Genesis to Revelation, marriage is presented as a covenant between one man and one woman. Jesus affirmed this design when He quoted Genesis and declared that the two become one flesh (Matthew 19:4-6). The New Testament consistently teaches that sexual intimacy belongs within that covenant.

These teachings are not expressions of fear or hostility. They are expressions of God’s design for human flourishing. The call of discipleship is not the affirmation of every desire but the surrender of every area of life to the Lordship of Christ.

8. Concerning the Danger of Reshaping Christianity to Fit Culture

The deeper concern behind these issues is the temptation to reshape Christianity so it aligns more comfortably with the values of the age. The Church has faced this pressure for two thousand years. The source changes; the temptation remains the same.

Paul warned Timothy that a time would come when people would seek teachers who tell them what they want to hear rather than what God has said (2 Timothy 4:3-4). The role of Christian leaders is not to make Scripture acceptable to the culture. It is to faithfully proclaim Scripture, whether the culture applauds or rejects it.

During my years in ministry, I learned that God does not call pastors to make Scripture popular. He calls us to make it plain.

When culture becomes the lens through which we interpret Scripture, truth is eventually replaced by preference. The question for every generation is not whether the Bible aligns with the culture, but whether we are willing to align ourselves with the Bible.

The Biblical Responsibility of Leaders

Representative Talarico,

Politics is temporary. Elections are temporary. Legislative victories are temporary. Souls are not.

Scripture teaches that those who influence others bear a greater responsibility before God. James warns that teachers will be judged more strictly. Jesus warns against leading others astray. These truths should humble every pastor, teacher, author, influencer, and public servant who speaks in God’s name.

They certainly humble me.

For thirty years, I stood behind a pulpit knowing that one day I would answer to God for every sermon I preached and every truth I taught. The same is true for anyone who publicly speaks about faith and Scripture.

The older I get, the less interested I am in winning arguments and the more concerned I am about whether people know the truth.

My concern is not your political party. My concern is whether the Jesus being presented to the public is the Jesus revealed in Scripture or a version reshaped by the spirit of the age.

America does not need progressive Christianity or conservative Christianity. America needs biblical Christianity—faithful to God’s Word, centered on Christ, and unafraid to proclaim truth in love.

My prayer for you is the same prayer I pray for myself: that every belief, every ambition, and every public statement would be brought under the authority of Scripture. Because one day neither of us will stand before voters, political parties, commentators, or public opinion.

We will stand before God and give an account.

Respectfully,

Jeff Mullen

The Thin Blue Line Separating Order from Chaos

2

National Police Week was observed May 10 through 16 to honor officers killed in the line of duty and recognize law enforcement communities across the country.

You and I are safer because these men and women put on the badge and uniform every day and walk out the door to go to work where they run toward danger while their families pray they’ll return safely at the end of their watch.

The thin blue line symbolizes the police as the barrier between law and order and societal chaos, representing solidarity, duty, and the sacrifices of law enforcement officers.

The term “thin blue line” traces its roots to the Thin Red Line of the 1854 Crimean War, where a Scottish regiment held off a Russian cavalry charge, symbolizing courage and defense against overwhelming odds. The phrase was later adapted to law enforcement, with “blue” referencing the traditional color of police uniforms. Early uses in the U.S. include New York Police Commissioner Richard Enright in 1922 and popularization by Los Angeles Police Chief William Parker in the 1950s, emphasizing the police as the line separating order from chaos.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know my father was one of the fallen who never returned home from his night shift. In 1957, he was a thirty-six-year-old California Highway Patrolman only four years in the force when he was shot and murdered with his own gun by a high school teacher he had pulled over. The rawness of our tragic loss is always fresh in my heart and mind.

What also is tragic to me is the way law enforcement is treated today by the media, liberals, and Democrats who continue to demonize the very people whose job it is to keep them safe. The evolving result of this is that we see victims and their families demonized and murderers elevated to celebrity status.

When my father was killed almost seventy years ago, there was a national outpouring of empathy, sympathy, love, caring, and provision for our victim family. The police force always takes care of their own. My mother, widowed at 30 with two young daughters, immediately had supportive compassionate help from the police force and the community that continued for years. There were funds started for both my sister and me to go to college. Years later, when I run into former grammar school classmates, they still remember my hero father’s unjust violent murder.

Back then, the country and the community was horrified that this could happen to a police officer. There was genuine concern for us and disgust and anger at the man who brutally took my father’s life and left us without a husband, father, and provider.

Contrast that with the way Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, who was mercilessly assassinated in front of thousands of people, has been vilified by the liberal media and social media. Erika was left with two young now fatherless children and suddenly thrust into the position of continuing Charlie’s vision for Turning Point USA.

After the gunfire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 26, 2026, video surfaced of Erika Kirk leaving the Washington Hilton in tears. She had just lived through her second mass-shooting scene in less than eight months. The clip showed her trembling, asking simply, “I just want to go home.”

The mockery started on social media within hours. Senator John Fetterman watched it happen and could not stay quiet. Speaking to Fox News Digital, he pushed back hard.

“It blows. People attack a widow. I mean what’s wrong with people? That’s bonkers.”

Yes, that is bonkers. Mercilessly attacked for what she wears to how she grieves. I never saw anyone attacking how my mother grieved, what she wore, or what she did or didn’t do.

Bobby Orr wrote on Facebook about Fetterman’s comments: “You do not have to share a senator’s politics to recognize the moment. A man who disagrees with Erika Kirk on almost every issue stood up for her because something deeper was at stake. Basic human decency. The simple instinct that you do not kick a woman when she has lost her husband to an assassin and just survived another shooting.

Scripture has been calling for this kind of decency for thousands of years. “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.” James 1:27

Notice what James does not say. He does not say care for widows who agree with you. He does not say defend widows whose politics match yours. He says widows. Period.

A culture that mocks a grieving wife has forgotten something a Bronze Age fisherman understood. There is no faith without compassion, and no compassion without crossing the lines we have drawn.”

The irony is that this latest man attempting to assassinate President Trump has pleaded “not guilty” even when we’ve all seen videos of him armed with weapons running through the metal detector toward the ballroom. Along with pictures he took of himself previously in his hotel room covered with guns and knives. Then there’s the manifesto graphically stating his intent to not only kill President Trump but as many cabinet members and attendees as possible!

With incriminating evidence like that, in what world can you deny that you’re guilty?

In today’s upside down culture.

Like my father’s murderer, this man was also a teacher!

What’s Different Today?

Today, it seems as soon as a murderer is identified, there’s a GoFundMe set up. Not for the victim’s family, like the community did for my family, but for the murderer?

If the murderers or criminals are young attractive men or perceived as marginalized they become “heroes” instead of villains?!

Think about the glamorization of Luigi Mangione who gunned down a United Health Care Insurance executive, husband, and father.

Or Bryan Kohberger who brutally murdered four University of Idaho students in their sleep.

Has our culture completely lost its grip on good versus evil?

Jesse Watters on FOX recently interviewed Dr. Gad Saad about his recent book Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind.

Dr. Saad said that empathy is a good thing to have in a conversation or situation where you might need to put yourself in the other person’s mindset regarding their actions or opinions. But like anything, misplaced empathy results in something Dr. Gad Saad refers to as “suicidal empathy.”

A description of Saad’s book explains what’s happening in our culture today:
 “Suicidal Empathy unleashes a blistering critique of maladaptively irrational altruism that has gripped our culture. This mind parasite hijacked the empathy module of our progressive elite, leading to a catastrophic miscalibration of moral priorities. The results are everywhere: from coddling violent criminals to protecting rapists to branding self-defense as toxic behavior. We are witnessing a civilization in rapid decline. Lunatic policies are instituted because we prioritize the feelings of ostensibly marginalized groups over The Truth, criminals over victims, and squatters over homeowners. This is not humane; it’s an active dismantling of the pillars that keep us safe and free.“

For example, recently a young woman who fled for her life from a black man who was chasing her from the subway station refused to identify him to police with the rational that she didn’t want to see another black man in jail! Yet, the same suspect later pushed a 76-year-old man to his death at a Chelsea station.  

That woman’s kind of suicidal empathy says you shouldn’t keep felons in prison. They’ve only been arrested 187 times and they deserve another chance.

Ultimately, this ends up with even more people hurt or killed like Iryna Zarutska stabbed to death on a train by a repeat offender. Yet liberal District Attorneys, Prosecutors, and Judges continue to put criminals back on the streets and so-called “sanctuary cities” protect and release illegals to terrorize communities and create chaos. Suicidal empathy!

People might express suicidal empathy with Luigi Mangione killing an insurance executive because in their twisted thinking he got back at the system they hate. Violence becomes justified.

When that type of twisted, hedonistic, lawlessness and chaos becomes the norm, an entire culture is committing suicidal empathy that eventually destroys the culture and the country.

I heard Texas Congressman Brandon Gill say in an interview during the 250 Year Rededicate America Back to God in DC last weekend, that he thinks violence and chaos might actually be the motivation on the political left. That’s demonic!

Here’s the short interview with Dr. Saad if you’d like to listen.

Our God is Not a God of Lawlessness

The Bible consistently portrays lawlessness as a serious offense against God’s moral law, revealing His deep concern, judgment, and ultimate rejection of those who persist in it.

1. Lawlessness is defined as sin
1 John 3:4 says, “Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.” This shows that lawlessness is not just breaking human rules, but rejecting God’s eternal standards.

2. God’s judgment on lawlessness
Matthew 24:12 warns, “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.” This indicates God’s heart is grieved when His people turn away from Him.
Galatians 5:19–21 lists the “acts of the flesh” and declares, “I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” This reflects God’s rejection of those who embrace lawlessness.

3. Lawlessness as rebellion and separation
2 Thessalonians 2:7 describes the “mystery of lawlessness” as already at work, showing God’s ongoing restraint against it until His appointed time. Matthew 7:21–23 records Jesus saying, “I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.” A clear statement of God’s final rejection of those who live in rebellion.

4. Lawlessness as the work of the enemy
John 8:44 calls the devil “the father of lies” and the source of lawlessness, showing God’s opposition to the forces that lead people away from Him. 2 Corinthians 4:4 explains that Satan blinds those who reject God’s truth, aligning with God’s desire for people to see and follow His light.

5. Consequences and warnings
Deuteronomy 28 outlines God’s curses for disobedience, showing His displeasure with lawlessness and its effects on blessing and life. 2 Timothy 3:1–2 describes the end-time “wickedness” that will “consider nothing sacred,” reflecting God’s concern for the moral decay that leads to spiritual death.

Summary of God’s Feelings About Lawlessness

  • Grieved and disappointed when His people turn away from His law.
  • Judgmental toward those who persist in lawlessness, as seen in His warnings and final rejection.
  • Opposed to the forces and influences that cause lawlessness.
  • Hopeful in offering redemption to those who repent and return to Him.

These verses show that God’s heart is toward righteousness, truth, and obedience, and that lawlessness is a direct offense to His character and will.

What Must We Do to Have Another 250 Years of America as a Christian Nation?

May 17, 2026, President Trump declared a day of prayer to Rededicate America Back to God as part of our 250-year celebration.

Rededicate implies repentance. We’ve moved away from being a Christian nation honoring God’s morals and laws.

Can we go back to the way our Founding Fathers envisioned America?

Can we return to the way people reacted to my father’s murder with outrage?

Punishment for criminals.

Justice for the victims and their family.

Or will we continue sliding into the abyss of suicidal empathy, lawlessness, and chaos?

Only God knows the will of the American people to survive as a free Christian country or fall for Satan’s attempts to destroy us.

Prayer and a thin blue line separate the two outcomes.

Keep Praying. Keep Trusting. Keep Obeying.

 Psalm 33:12 “Blessed or happy is the nation whose God is the Lord.”

“The duty and interest of the United States require that they should acknowledge the overruling providence of God.” James Madison

“May every citizen in the army and in the country have a proper sense of the Deity upon his mind and an impression of that declaration recorded in the Bible, ‘Them that honor me, I will honor.’” Samuel Adams

Why Christians MUST Pray and Vote Partisan to Prevent Government Persecution!

6

I hope I can keep this short since I can’t set at my computer for long. I’ve taken a hiatus from Monday Morning Blogs recently due to surgery on my lower left leg that isn’t healing well and is requiring wound care intervention. It’s especially painful when I sit with my leg down, so I have it propped up on a pillow on top of my office trashcan! Prayers for healing are appreciated since I’m scheduled for a hip replacement on June 3.

Okay enough about me. Let’s talk about the focus of this blog: Pray and Vote for Conservative Biblical Values!

As Christians, we must remain partisan because when the Democrats are in power they will silence Christians even to the point of prosecution. How can I say that? Well read on . . .

First Pray!

Since our country’s conception, America has been a praying nation. Even when King Charles was here last week and addressed the joint Congress, he acknowledged that America was founded as a Christian nation. We should never minimize, apologize, or take for granted this truth.

I hope you’ll see the new movie “A Great Awakening.” Even though there’s no evidence that Benjamin Franklin, one of the signers of the Constitution, ever became a Christian as hard as his dear friend Charles Whitfield pleaded with him to become one, Franklin understood the power of prayer and initiated prayer in the opening sessions of Congress, which continues today.

To kickoff America’s 250th birthday, on April 18-25, 2026, nearly 500 Christian actors, ministries, speakers, pastors, athletes, congressmen and women, even President Trump from the Oval Office, participated in the reading of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation from the Museum of the Bible in Washington D. C. The Bible tells us that God’s Word never goes out void. I hope you heard some of it. I opened it on my phone, put my phone in my pocket, and listened to this amazing proclamation of the Bible over America.

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)

May Is the Month of Prayer

Prayer is our language fellow Christians. We talk a lot to each other, but our call is to talk to our Great God. God is always waiting and listening to hear our voices rising to Him in praise and petition.

Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Jer. 29:12

Put These Dates on Your Calendar!

  • The National Day of Prayer – May 7
  • Rededication of America – May 17 (This date is significant. Keep reading)

What is REDEDICATE 250?

“Rededicate 250: National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving” is President Trump and the White House purposing America’s 250th celebration to honor our roots and humbly rededicate our nation back to God as when it was founded.

On May 17, 1776, the Second Continental Congress held a day of “prayer, fasting, and humiliation” just weeks before signing the Declaration of Independence and declaring independence from England on July 4th.

President Trump recognized this important heritage date and at the 74th National Prayer Breakfast last February, he announced that on May 17, 2026, there will be a major prayer event held on the National Mall to “rededicate America as one nation under God.”

President Trump continued explaining that the 12-hour sacred dedication event promises that “In speech, song, and storytelling, we will bear witness to the extraordinary story of how God has powerfully and wonderfully shaped the United States of America — remembering the people, sacrifices, and defining moments in which God has powerfully manifested Himself in our history.”

Now, thanks to President Trump, exactly 250 years to the day, thousands of Americans will come together in our nation’s capital to give thanks for God’s blessings over the last 250 years—and to ask for his protection and guidance as we enter the next 250 years.

President Trump has invited Americans from across the country to come together on the National Mall on that day to pray, praise, and give thanks. During his announcement, he noted a spiritual renewal and rising church attendance in America. He praised this trend declaring, “To be a great nation…you have to have faith” and “you have to have God.”

President Trump continued, “Almost 250 years after our Founding Fathers took one of the greatest leaps of faith in human history…it reminds us that prayers strengthen, prayers heal, prayer empowers and prayer saves,” said President Trump.

“Quite simply, prayer is America’s superpower.” President Trump

While you might not be able to attend these prayer events in person, you can certainly put them on your calendar to watch and pray along too. After all, this is your country we’re celebrating. Our Founding Fathers saw God’s hand of mercy in giving us this great country and we can at least stop for a moment and say, “Thank you God for America our home!”

Why Do I Say Christians Must Be Partisan?

Do you think we would have any of these prayer celebrations at this momentous 250 years if a Democrat were President? If you’re honest, no matter what you might think of President Trump you have to answer, NO! The Democrats are not only anti-Christian, they’re also anti-America.

We would not have had the Bible read over the country and certainly a Democrat President wouldn’t have read 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 from the Oval Office like President Trump did, which includes the well-known verse:

“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.” (Vs 14)

We would not have seen the White House organizing this Rededicate 250: National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving on the National Mall, rededicating our country back to God. If Christians tried to organize it under a DEI Democrat Administration, there would’ve been many obstacles put in their path and much pushback.

How can I saw this you ask?

One of the first Executive Orders, President Trump signed was for his DOJ to investigate the persecution of Christians under the Biden Administration!

The investigation was a direct result of President Donald Trump’s executive order, Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias, which was designed to “immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ.”

“It is the policy of the United States, and the purpose of this order, to protect the religious freedoms of Americans and end the anti-Christian weaponization of government,” the executive order stated. “The Founders established a Nation in which people were free to practice their faith without fear of discrimination or retaliation by their government.” 

The resulting 565 page DOJ report released last week was staggering to everyone who saw it as the current acting Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed that a Department of Justice investigation uncovered a “Systematic culture of anti-Christian bias across federal agencies during the Biden Administration.“

The report details for example how the Biden-era FBI monitored Catholic priests, and the IRS denied tax-exempt status to a Christian organization based on its religious teachings because they said teaching from the Bible sounded too partisan towards the Republican party!

“What we found in that very deep, substantial report is it was much more than just a rogue agent. It was much more than just a field office or a prosecutor,” said Blanche.

“It was actually a systematic culture issue at the Department of Justice to target Christians, to target people based upon their religious beliefs.”

The findings, published by a Justice Department task force, argue the Biden administration [which we now know was whoever was in control of the autopen] exhibited a pattern of behavior that undermined religious liberty. According to a DOJ press release, the administration used regulatory means to strip protections from people of faith!

“President Biden pushed policies to eliminate statutory protections for religious Americans that interfered with his policy goals,” the DOJ report stated. “Although he failed to change federal law, under his direction, federal agencies used policy and regulatory means to accomplish the same goals.”

The report says the Biden administration labeled parental concerns at school boards as “threats,” called concerned parents terrorists, and dismissed federal workers’ religious concerns about vaccine mandates as “insincere” or “not religious.”

Another claim in the report states, “The Civil Rights Division under President Biden sidelined Christians in favor of preferred constituencies. It published materials suggesting that Christians could not be victims of religious discrimination, only other faith groups.”

The report also showed the Biden Administration went after pro-life individuals and made little to no attempt to prosecute violent attacks on pro-life centers.

President Trump is protecting the rights of Christians that were systematically and purposely stripped of their rights by the Democrat Biden Administration.

If a Democrat EVER gets back in the White House, I believe with the Democrats now cozying up to Communists and Islamists, Christian persecution and discrimination will escalate like we’ve never seen before in America.

There is nothing in the Democrat platform that honors God. NOTHING! Instead, it’s become a godless dehumanizing political power-hungry party, and the Bible is clear that good cannot compromise with evil. The Democrat driving force is “hate Trump” “hate his cabinet” “hate his followers and supporters” and even try to kill them!

There’s nothing in the Democrat platform that is good for God-fearing Americans or any American. At the State of the Union, we watched the Democrats refuse to stand up when asked if their responsibility was to protect Americans. Why would any Christian vote for them? Many are switching parties even in government positions. We can pray that even more will do so also.

So yes, we must be partisan and Vote! Vote! Vote for candidates that you’ve researched and trust. Then support them to win.

Not voting is agreeing to watch the collapse of the country you love and saying it’s okay for the Christian faith to be persecuted, marginalized, and replaced by Communism and Islam, not only for the rest of your life, but that of our children and grandchildren.

Not voting, is actually voting for the party that hates you because you believe in God and the Bible. Christianity is surrender to God’s control and Democrats dismiss and detest this. They want control and power all to themselves. They’re yelling, cussing, angry people who encourage violence.

The manifesto of the man who wanted to kill President Trump and as many of his cabinet as possible at the White House Correspondence Dinner sounded exactly like the Democrat’s and liberal media’s talking points.

Democrats and liberals are trying to instigate and radicalize their followers to do their dirty work. Even their so-called comedians think it’s funny to talk about President Trump’s death. I refuse to call these “jokes” because they’re not funny. They’re sadistic and the fact that people in their audience laugh proves my radicalization point.

We all have primary elections coming up in our states. Christians must vote!

We also must NOT lose the House and Senate in the midterms.

If the godless Democrats, who care more about illegals, trans rights, sexual perversion, indoctrinating children, DEI, abortion, protecting criminals, George Soros, socialism, communism, and Islam than they care about you the American citizen, ever get into power, the good that’s been done by the current administration will be abolished. Christians will be their target once again.

The Democrats have no qualms about using lawfare against anyone who gets in their way, even God. The 565-page report is proof.

Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me [Jesus], they will persecute you also. John 15:20


I’ve only listed a few of the findings proving the Biden Administration’s persecution of Christians. For more details DOJ Releases report detailing anti-Christian bias under Biden from the Christian Post

We’re One Nation Under God NOT Allah!

2

This might be my most important blog so far in 2026! I hope you’ll read and share. Ignorance of what’s happening in our culture today is not bliss it’s foolish!

“My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.” Hosea 4:6

I was shocked when I saw on Tucker Carlson’s Facebook page what he posted from his podcast monologue on March 17.  “If you’re having trouble remembering the last time we killed a religious leader, it’s because we haven’t killed any religious leaders, at least not openly, because we don’t want to start religious wars, because they’re hard to fight and very hard to resolve.”—Tucker Carlson

Tucker was calling the brutal tyrannical Ayatollah who killed Americans and thousands of his own people simply a “religious leader!” Iranian “religious leaders” just publicly hung a nineteen-year-old Iranian Wrestling Olympian and two other teenagers who dared protest the current regime. That doesn’t sound “religious.” That’s barbaric tyranny!

Here was my comment on Tucker’s Facebook post:
“He’s calling the man who killed and tortured thousands of his own people and wants to do the same to Americans a “religious leader”? Seriously?? Islam is NOT a religion it’s a tyrannical death cult ideology. You would think someone like Tucker would know the difference between a religious leader and a pathological tyrannical killer.”—Janet Thompson

Tucker Carlson recently told the story of having a nightmare where he struggled with a monster in his sleep and woke up with scratch marks on his body. I’m wondering if he wasn’t struggling with a demon and the demon won. Tucker has been off the rails on Israel and Iran along with many other topics. This blog is not about Tucker, but if a once intelligent, investigative journalist that many of us admired when he was on FOX News could be so deceived, it’s no wonder that many Americans are also.

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual force of this world rather than on Christ. Col. 2:8

New Yorkers who voted for a Muslim Islamist Communist are paying the price for their deception.

There are so many things I’m learning from my study of this false “religion” and its followers’ goal of making Islam not simply the dominate religion in the world, but the dominate government!

That’s the irony of the Biden Administration so hungry for power that they would let in millions of undocumented Islamists into the country thinking that they would all vote Democrat. They might actually do that in the beginning, but only long enough to get themselves into power and then they would dismiss all the ignorant Democrats who won’t know what hit them . . . maybe even literally.

What Democrats and Islam have in common right now is that both reject God and His Son Jesus Christ. The left wants to strip Americans’ identity by telling them you can be your own god and be whatever you want to call yourself. You want to be a woman, put on makeup and a dress and invade women’s sports. You want to be a cat. Put on a tale and pee in a litterbox.

The left’s power comes from breaking Americans into adversarial identity groups that go to war against each other. Whites. BLM. Jews. Palestinians. White liberal women. Suburban women. Gays. Trans. Evangelicals. “Progressive Christians.” On and on . . .

Disunity instead of unity.

When everyone can be your own god, Islam fills the gap. That’s why Islam is partnering with the left’s godless progressive liberal platform and not the conservative right which believes we are a country founded on Judeo/Christian values. The left and Islam both reject this premise.

In last week’s blog, FlashPoint Where Faith Meets Current Events, I pointed out that Democrats are embracing an unlikely partnership with Islam to try to block Christians’ political influence. Another unusual partnership “Queers for Palestine” are opposing twin demonic spirits. They link up around their mutual hate for God and the West with the same goal of destroying Judeo/Christian values. This draws two forces together that have nothing in common. In Palestine and Iran, the queers would be thrown off buildings, and they still will be when Islam is finished getting their votes.

Because of this alliance, President Trump is right when he says after the “death of Iran,” the Democrat party is America’s “greatest enemy.”

Islam Is NOT a Religion. It’s a Death Cult!

In the early 7th century CE, Islam was founded by Muhammed ibn Abdullah, a pedophile who at age 54 married a six-year-old and consummated the marriage when she was nine! He had eleven wives and dozens of concubines. He supposedly was a “prophet” who received divine revelations that became the Qur’an. Reading the Qur’an, that “divine revelation” is obviously from Satan.

Any pseudo religion founded and spearheaded by a mere person is a cult, not a “religion.” Islam is a death cult that kills its own people and the “infidels” who don’t succumb to Islam. Muhammed died. Jesus Christ died, rose again three days later, and lives today to save people from eternal death.

Not every Muslim is radical, but all Islam is radical. Islam is incompatible with the West. There’s no “moderate Islam.” The Qur’an is radical. 

“There is no radical Islam—Islam is radical.”—Gene Bailey, FlashPoint

Islam is 50 years into a 100-year plan to take over the world.

Islam is a political ideology masquerading as a religion. They hate the Jews because they are proof that God exists which is why Jews come under attack so often. Islam’s goal is to first takeover Israel the “little Satan” and then America the “big Satan.”

Iran isn’t just the center of a nuclear threat; it’s also the center of Islamic terrorism. President Trump working with Israel to dismantle the Islamic regime is protecting America from physical and governmental threats from the outside. But thanks to Biden, there are Islamists inside America and sleeper cells just waiting to be detonated.

Before the takeover by Islamists, Iran was a free democratic nation. A tragic example of what happens when citizens don’t recognize the enemy from within as Texas state representative Nate Schatzline points out in the above meme.

Islam’s goal right now is to get 10% of our population radicalized. Their biggest test targets are Texas and California. In Texas alone, there are 48 new mosques in the last two years and they’re trying to build self-contained Islamic communities. Texas just had to put on the ballot that Sharia Law isn’t allowed in Texas, but there are states like Minnesota where it’s already happening. Even here in Idaho, we passed a law against Sharia Law in our red state.

The top 10 Muslim populated states are New York, California, Illinois, New Jersey, Texas, Michigan, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. Check out your state here.

Mosques aren’t churches like we know church. They are command infiltration centers preparing for war against the innocents in our country. You, me, and our families. They actually store their arms and ammunitions in the mosques and brag about how many church buildings they’ve bought and turned into mosques to worship Allah, not God.

They are literally Islamic Nationalists with the goal of Islam overtaking and ruling America. Yet, the Democrats call us Christian Nationalist because we want a country that honors the Constitution and God. We’re not looking to make America a theocracy, but Islam is focused on doing exactly that only their god is Allah and they want to replace the Constitution with Sharia Law.

The Democrats Are Actually Helping Islam!

Pay attention to how many Muslims are running for office as “Democrats.” In the November 7, 2025, election, 42 Muslims were elected to public office! The fake news celebrated this as “Political inclusion . . . The rising participation of Muslims in politics represents a shift from marginalization to empowerment, signaling a new chapter in America’s democratic story.”

That should alarm the reader who understands the goal of Islam in America.

Islam is an Arabic word that does not mean peace it means submit and only naive or uniformed pastors, Christians, and politicians would not know this. There’s only peace in Islam after everyone submits to Islam’s empowerment.

Only one faction of Islam is religious. They have no separation of church and government. The “church” is the government, and Iran is a perfect example. That’s why Tucker’s comments about a theocratic militant regime that’s intertwined into every aspect of life was so ludicrous. Dare I say, ignorant.

Islam is diametrically opposed to our Constitution and to Christianity. Islam cannot co-exist with either one.  Muslims will use parts of our Constitution like “freedom of religion” and pretend to be a religion to advance their cause. They will even pretend and lie to agree with our Constitution until they get into power. Mamdani is a perfect example.

“Holy Lying” or “Sacred Deceit” is called “Taquia” in Islam. No matter how smooth and nice they might sound, the Qur’an tells them lying to infidels (us) is permissible to achieve the goals of Islam. So everything Mamdani, or any Muslim candidate, says in their campaigns are lies masking their intentions. They feel no guilt, remorse, or need to apologize. You can’t believe anything they say!

The Democrats are the same. Look at Virginia Governor Spanberger who ran as a moderate and no sooner did she take the oath then she turned hard left. That’s why Islam feels comfortable partnering with Democrats . . . for now until Islam doesn’t need them anymore.

What legitimate “religion” honors lying to achieve goals instead of telling the truth? That has other gods besides The God? That murders anyone who doesn’t submit to their beliefs? Islam is diametrically opposed to Christianity and the Constitution.

How Islam Gains Power

There are three phases to Islamic takeover, which you can readily see is already happening in Egypt, European countries, and Australia. America is next.

  1. Claim minority status.
  2. Claim grievances.
  3. Cry victim. You need to help us because we’re being disadvantaged in some way. Think Muslim Illhan Omar and the Somalis.

Then they take power over the jurisdiction. When they infiltrate and grow in all areas from schools, justice /law system, business, commerce, medical field, politics, government. . . they soon dominate and then claim majority status.

Muslims: Immigrate. Agitate. Infiltrate. Dominate.

Ethnic Hispanics are turning to Islam in TX and CA. Islam gives them license over the “white man.” Islam has prayer beads and honors Mary, which is familiar to Catholics who often haven’t read the Bible so they’re ripe to read the Qur’an. Islam does not recognize or believe in Jesus.

Christians Must Be Equipped with the Truth!

Pulpits need to present the truth that there is only One God. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. His name is Yahweh. If you ask Muslims, “What’s the name of your God?” They answer, “Allah,” which is god in Arabic. They don’t know who their god is.

”It’s not a religion, but a political system run by terrorists. It is designed to overtake and control every other civilization.”—Terri Bailey FlashPoint

We need pastors and Christians walking in courage who aren’t afraid to talk about our role as Christians in today’s dangerous culture. Islam is strong in their evil intensions. Weak Christianity will fall and fail. Paul warned there would be those who talk like us, sound like us, but they’re weak and deny the power we have in Christ. No operational Holy Spirit in their life.

The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 1 Tim. 4:1-2

If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4 they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 5 and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain. 1 Tim. 3-5

We can’t go to church without intending to do what we hear. Pray before church and when reading your Bible, “Lord speak to me.” Go to church expecting to hear God. Uncompromised. Leave with a winsome boldness for sharing and living the Truth to overcome the lies of the world.

God will use the foolish things of the world to shame the wise.

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 1 Cor. 1:27

The church is where the battlefield begins. Christians must remember that we serve God alone. We can’t mix with or “tolerate” other beliefs and religions that want to destroy Christianity and our country. Satan puts on many faces but his main goal is always to steal, kill, and destroy. We must remain vigilant and wise.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10

I’ve given you a lot of information. Not to scare you, but to make you vigilant and wise. This is a spiritual battle and if you live by the Holy Spirit you are in the battle, whether you want to or not. We fight this battle not for ourselves but for our children and grandchildren. (Ephesians 6:10-18)

FlashPoint Where Faith Meets Current Events!

3

Today’s Monday Morning Blog is going to be a bit different. Dave and I had the opportunity to attend FlashPoint Live Boise March 12-13, 2026, and I’m going to share some of the highlights with you.

If you’re not familiar with FlashPoint, here’s a summary of their weeknight broadcast where host Gene Bailey always closes with: “We’re always to the right of center.”

What is FlashPoint?
This is where faith meets current events!

FlashPoint is a unique melting pot where we dive into the news, current events, and pressing political issues of our time with Christian politicians, pastors, business leaders, and influencers to press into what God is saying in this season.

The world and the church are in a new season, do you sense it? The call of Reformation has gone out! Our call is to speak the Biblical truth, pray, activate, and equip our viewers to affect culture for Jesus!

Listen to interviews, expert analysis and genuine conversations. Live Monday through Friday nights at 7 PM CT. FlashPoint goes where mainstream media and churches are often too afraid to go.

How to Watch Flashpoint
Dave and I watch FlashPoint nightly on the Victory Channel or YouTube. They’re also on Rumble or go here to learn of other broadcasting sources.

It isn’t a joke that much of mainstream media spouts nothing but Fake Anti-Trump news and sadly many gullible viewers believe their unverified, distorted, biased, liberal leaning lying commentaries. Even  FCC chair Brendan Carr warns broadcasters must ‘correct course’ on ‘news distortions’ before license renewals!

That’s why we get our news with the truth and a biblical perspective at FlashPoint.

We’re also looking forward to going to Israel with FlashPoint at the end of next month and I’m sure I’ll have much to report from there. Please pray for us as this trip is still going forward. For now, let me share some important points made during Flashpoint Live Boise.

Israel

—Ezekiel 12 tells us that the devil hates God, His People and Israel. Podcasters like Tucker and Candace Owens are dipping into the occult as they speak against Israel.

—The conflict in Ezekiel is a war of conquest, but there’s also hope of redemption because God Himself will awaken the earth.

–Trump is the Great Interrupter!

“Occupy Until He Comes” Luke 19:13

What you don’t occupy will be occupied against you!

–Example the Boy Scouts have been going “spiritually gay for a while.” They’re now offering Scouts an “Islamophobia Awareness Month Badge (IAM)” in collaboration with the Muslim Scout Fellowship. Scouts learn about Islam and connecting Scout and Islamic values!

–We’ve traded righteousness and truth for tolerance and apathy. We need to be less tolerant of evil and more direct and intolerant of sin like Jesus who was divisive!

—Tolerance comes from Satan. Tolerance=acceptance=gottcha dominance.

—Satan and his minions only attack what he’s afraid of which is why the enemy is going after children [I wrote about this last month The Devil Always Reveals What He’s Afraid Of]

–Demons attack the church wherever we’re tormenting them.

–Wherever there’s a spiritual vacuum, a demonic imposter rises up to fill the void. Education is a perfect example as students are being taught to hate America, each other, and the body God gave them. [I wrote about this last month too. Only Jesus Can Fill the Spiritual Vacuum!]

—Pietism in the church says Christians are supposed to remain separate from culture. That’s not biblical. We’re to be in the world to make disciples, but not of the world. When we give up ground, Satan grabs it. We all have spiritual gifts. When we fail to use them to occupy for Christ, Satan steps in and takes ownership.

—The spiritual battlefield is whatever your gifts are wherever your giftedness takes you! You have to disturb the peace of complacency. If you believe in something, you have to do the hard things even when it’s not popular.

—The Democrats know that much of MAGA are Christians and 70% of Trump’s cabinet is Christian. They also know that 30% of Christians don’t vote because they’re fooled by pietism thinking it’s not our job to get involved we’ll be raptured anyway. The Bible doesn’t support Christians not taking ownership of the culture. [I wrote last week about the liberal left trying to promote a fake faith twisting the Bible to match their liberal ungodly platform. Christian beware! We’re Living in the Birth Pangs of the Endtimes]

—Wherever hell has the most influence, the church must be involved. Go Ye into the culture to take territory for Christ. Like Moses had help holding up his arms while Joshua went into battle to claim territory, the church should be supporting those who are on the spiritual and political battlefield.

—Don’t be preoccupied—occupy!

—Age doesn’t restrict you from getting involved for the Lord. Wherever your passion is, God can use you. Maybe as an intercessor.

Islam

–We’re inviting wolves into our domain by not standing against Islam.

—Democrats are embracing an unlikely partnership with Islam to block out Christians and their political influence.

–Another example: “Queers for Palestine” are opposing twin demonic spirits. They link up around their hate for God and the West with a mutual goal of destruction of Judeo/Christian values. That’s what draws two forces together that have nothing in common. In Palestine, the queers would be thrown off buildings and they still will be when Hamas is done with them.

—Islam is incompatible with the West. It’s a death cult.

–We have no agreement with Muslims.

—A reply to the “islamophobia” argument you might receive: “In America we have Christian freedom. Name an Islamic country where we could go and practice Christianity?”

—A reply to you’re supposed to love your neighbor: “There’s nothing in the Bible that says we’re to tolerate sin or evil that subverts the public good.”

—A reply to you’re intolerant and not accepting: “There is only One God and the 10 Commandments tell us to have no other gods but our God.

—How do we say no to today’s culture? We refuse to tolerate ideologies that oppress Christianity. Islam is a political oppressive ideology masquerading as a religion to take advantage of “religious freedom” in America. What if MS13 says it’s a religion? Would you say we have to honor it as a religion?

–Is there any Muslim nation people are trying to get into?

–Why Not Sharia Law? (A FlashPoint digital free download)

Iran

—Trump is the providential leader raised up by God to take down tyrannical rule in Iran.

–The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero;
    he will come out like a warrior, full of fury.
He will shout his battle cry
    and crush all his enemies. Isaiah 42:13 NLT

—We’re in a season of fear vs faith.

—Christians need to focus on what God is doing NOT Satan.

—Cowards are the first people thrown into the lake of fire in Revelation 21:8.

—Fear comes from lies.

—Trump is our era’s Elijah as he calls out false prophets of the lying fake news, which tries to invoke fear. The devil dominates through fear.

Keep America Great By Keeping It Good and Godly!

—As the dark gets darker, the light gets lighter (2 Tim. 3)

–Jesus’ kingdom is here on earth with Christians who are occupying now. The closer Jesus gets to earth, He’s invading Satan’s darkness which pushes Satan closer near his end.

—Be expectant! Heaven’s closer than it’s ever been!

—Learn how to say “Yes” to saying, “No” to anything that goes against the sovereignty of God and America. As Americans, we accept no other gods but God, and no other rules and laws of other countries here in America.

–We say “No” to our kids doing harmful or wrong things because we love them.

—We must learn how to say “No” to anything that offends God or threatens America!

If you haven’t read last week’s blog, I hope you’ll read it now.

If you would like to listen to all of Flashpoint Live Boise, go to 3/12/26 on YouTube  and 3/13/26 YouTube or Flashpoint website. Be sure and checkout their events page to see if there’s an upcoming FlashPoint Live in your area.

We’re Living in the Birth Pangs of the Endtimes

2

We’ve become so accustomed, maybe even numbed, to chaos and craziness in our world today that we may be missing the warning signs that God is giving us as He brings His Word, the Bible, to life. Conservatives and Christians claim not to tolerate evil, yet we haven’t done much to stop it over the years. As a church, we’ve almost become compliant. Complacent.

Satan is rapidly taking advantage of the lull before the storm.

I could list many areas, but I’ll limit to two today, where I feel we’re in the birth pangs of the pre-endtimes before the Lord will usher in the seven-year tribulation (Dan. 9:27, Matt 24:21, Rev. 7:14). Both dead and living true believers and followers of Jesus Christ will be raptured to meet Christ in the air before the horrendous treacherous tribulation actually starts (1 Thess. 4:16-17, 1 Cor. 15:51-52).

By true believer, I don’t mean calling yourself a “Christian” because you grew up in a Christian family or go to church faithfully on Sunday. I don’t mean religious or a theologian. I mean born again! Heart cleansing, Holy-spirit filled, life change. A repentant follower. A believer that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and rose again in three days and that Jesus is the ONLY way to salvation and eternal life and you have asked for and received His merciful forgiveness.

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” John 3:3

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6

I often wonder, how much worse is the Lord going to let it get before He says enough?!

The Bible is clear that none of us can predict the day or time of the rapture. It could come while I’m writing this blog or while you’re reading it. But God does say there will be signs we are to take notice of and do something about NOW while we have breath. The Bible tells us to be salt and light in a dark and hurting world, not sit home trying to shield ourselves from the chaos or ignore the evil of those signs.

“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. John 5:13-14

Satan has a way of convincing us that if it doesn’t affect me or my family personally, I don’t want to or need to get involved. Or infusing us with false humility. “Who am I to make a difference? What could I possibly do? I’m just an ordinary person trying to get by in a world gone crazy.”

Those thoughts or excuses aren’t from God.

I’m reminded of Amos 3:7 “Indeed, the Sovereign Lord never does anything until he reveals his plans to his servants the prophets.” I don’t claim to be a prophet, and you might not be either, but we are His servants. I’ve been gifted with a discerning spirit and have spent the past 31 years serving the Lord in About His Work Ministries. I see and hear things I’m not expecting and the Lord wakes me up at night before I write a blog and tells me what He wants me to write. It’s not always easy to write or read, but there are specific and tough verses in the Bible that we can’t ignore.

So that’s the intro into what I want you to think about in this blog. I’ll just cover a couple birth pangs here, but there are more.

  • Wars

 And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. 7 Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. Matt. 24:6-7 NLT

President Trump has been settling many wars, but the Ukraine/Russia war rages on because the country’s two leaders cannot agree on how to stop it.

Currently, America is involved with our ally Israel in toppling an Islamic tyrannical regime in Iran who sought to annihilate both of our countries. I wrote about this in last week’s blog if you haven’t read it. After 47 Years of Bondage God is Using Our 47th President Prophetically in Iran.

It’s worth noting that 53 House Democrats voted against a resolution declaring Iran a state sponsor of terror, even though during the Biden Administration a similar resolution garnered 100% vote in favor. “That’s 53 Democrats who have lost their minds.” Karoline Leavittt.

Senator Fetterman was the lone Senate Democrat to vote against a Democrat sponsored resolution seeking to limit Trump’s war powers.  

“I don’t know why we can’t just be honest,” Fetterman said. Good question!

  • The Rise of a False Christianity

“The time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching… and will turn away from the truth.”  2 Timothy 4:3–4

The Democrat party has been steadily moving toward an anti-God agenda and losing the Christian vote. They’ve paid consultant firms millions of dollars to try to win Christians back, but because they’ve denounced a biblical worldview, Satan has become their advisor.

Johnathan McCullough Sr. Founder of Urban Conservatives of America, whose motto is “Lover of God, family, and country. Advocate of truth,” says, “The entire Political establishment on the left is demonic.” Not that it should matter, but it seems today it does with all the false claims of racism, Johnathan McCullough Sr. is black, another demographic the Democrats are losing.

When I read McCullough’s statement, it echoed what I’ve been saying now for a long time. Tell me one thing Democrats stand for that’s biblical? Their entire platform is anti-God and hate Trump.

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 2 Tim. 3:1-5

The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Even as fools walk along the road, they lack sense and show everyone how stupid they are. Ecc. 10:2-3

Blue run states and cities have the highest crime rate in America. They support lawlessness by making themselves sanctuary cities for criminals and Soros backed DA’s. They made their priority clear during the State of the Union when they refused to stand to agree that government’s most important job is to protect American citizens and not illegals and criminals. Of course, they couldn’t stand for that because they do just the opposite.

I keep asking when John Fetterman is going to leave the Democrat party because he seems to be the only one who is bucking the evil coming from that side.

Detroit, Michigan State Representative Karen Whitsett, announced she’s leaving the Democrat party at the end of her term because she could no longer be a Christian and represent the Democrat’s policies.

“For me, it is impossible to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ while remaining a member of the Democratic Party as it exists today. I cannot reconcile that platform with Scripture,” she said. “Those who understand, understand. Those who don’t, don’t. At the end of the day, every knee shall bow, and every tongue will confess. My responsibility is to stand in truth and walk in obedience — not to win approval,” Whitsett wrote on Facebook.

Whitsett cited issues including abortion, the normalization of homosexuality, and the push to redefine gender as problematic for her. “I don’t have a Heaven or Hell to put anyone in. Only God does. But I do have God’s unwavering Word to stand on, and I can no longer compromise it to fit a party platform or to please people.”

Someone just wrote on FB “Trump could order a strike and kill Satan, and the Democrats would side with the devil.” Actually, they’ve been siding with the devil for a long time, but most people aren’t willing to call it out. Not that Republicans are saints. Both sides have their problems, but the Democrats have become openly on the wrong side of the Bible and God, and it’s time we stop being polite and start speaking the truth. We advise Christians to vote your biblical values but fail to contrast the left’s anti-biblical values and morales.

The Democrat party has redefined their “morality” based on their political agenda and we see this clearly exemplified with the Texas State Democrat Congressman now running for National Senate, James Talarico, who claims to be a Christian, was a teacher, and is even in seminary. The Dems hope that his constant talk about the Bible will win over Christian voters who aren’t paying close attention!

Here are some of James Talarico’s outlandish statements and actions twisting Scripture to justify evil political policies:

–“Jesus has helped me reckon with my own whiteness, my own masculinity . . .” Talarico has called white men the greatest domestic terrorism threat in America.

–Filed legislation requiring school districts to hire DEI officers.

–His record should alarm every God-fearing American. On The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast, Talarico twisted Scripture, claiming the angel’s visit to Mary proves “God approves of abortion” because “creation requires consent.”

–Criticized the overturn of Roe v. Wade as “unchristian!”

–Publicly declared, “God is nonbinary” while fighting to put boys in girls’ sports.

–Voted against 10 Commandments in Texas schools and has 0% pro-life voting score.

–Said the Bible doesn’t talk about homosexuality. (Lev. 18, Romans 1, 1 Cor. 6)

–Talarico demands “fundamental policy shifts” in Texas and the nation—pushing open-border policies critics call amnesty-first, abolishing ICE-style enforcement, and rewriting laws to favor progressive ideology over biblical truth and border security.

–Criticized conservative Christians, claiming that atheists and Muslims are more Christlike.

–During his first sermon preaching at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Talarico argued, “I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care, too,” He said, “Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day at the state Capitol.”

–Sent a letter to President Biden urging him to lease Federal land, offices, and employees for abortion clinics, and to ignore/ban state laws restricting abortion.

–Claimed there are six genders during a 2021 state Legislature hearing.

–Said in a sermon: “The American flag is such a complicated symbol for most of us. And in many ways, like Jesus, like the cross, it’s been co-opted, and in some ways, its true meaning has been betrayed.”

You can’t make this stuff up in its absurdity and heresy, and he’s one of the ones himself betraying Christ. Yet, he calls himself a “Christian” and sadly, true to the devil’s schemes in these birth pangs days, people are identifying what he says with Christianity and the Bible!

And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other.  And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. Matt. 24:10-11

But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here. 1 John 4:3

Talarico has an anti-christ spirit and the Democrats are trying to use it to their advantage as a prototype for future candidates if they’re able to fool enough people with this poor fool!

I could go on, but he is the left’s new rising star. A heretic and blasphemer.

An RNC spokesman said, “There isn’t a woke cause that he won’t claim to find buried in the Bible. Twisting Christian principles to promote woke talking points might play well with coastal elites in New York and California, but he’s going to learn real quick that won’t fly in Texas.”

The problem is it has worked in Texas! People voted for him, and on social media, many defend and agree with Talarico’s twisting of Scripture.

“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. Matt. 7:15 NLT

Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 2 Cor. 11:14

Talarico claims to be a Presbyterian. That denomination split years ago over the very woke evil issues he champions now. He is part of the “progressive liberal ‘Christian’” movement, which by its very name is NOT Christian. There’s no such thing as “progressive Christianity” or “liberal Christianity” or “conservative Christianity.”  Only Biblical Christianity.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)

“I the Lord do not change.” (Malachi 3:6)

“All Scripture is God-breathed… for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)

The Bible doesn’t change with culture. The culture that outlasts time is the culture that continues to adhere to the inerrant Word of God as it’s written.

C.S. Lewis warned against what he called “Christianity and water,” a faith diluted until it simply reflects the culture around it.

“They” [the left] grabbed the term “progressive” which makes people think they are positive, forward thinkers. There is nothing forward-looking about totalitarianism. It’s as old as language. . . By surrendering our language and terms to them, conservatives have allowed liberal radicals to use words that are familiar to the average citizen and trick him or her into thinking they mean one thing while they are actually saying another. And make no mistake: Language matters . . .The ability to control language allows for the manipulation of men. ” Charlie Kirk

What Can True Christians Do?

The church and Bible-believing Christians should be the gatekeepers of morals. Politics has entered our church realm. They’ve swerved into our lane and for too many years, we’ve let them define morals and now even Christianity.

If we don’t speak out and speak up, their definitions will become the norm, and we’ll be considered the fringe or fanatics. Already they’re trying to re-engage the term Christian Nationalist and make it sound harmful that we would love God. Family. Freedom. They’re goal is to keep us, and thus truth, out of the public square.

This is not the hour to be quiet and “nice.” This is the hour to speak truth. Truth is not hate. Truth is love. Deceit is death.

Jesus continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not. 24 That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.” John 8:23-24 NLT

I heard a new term, as a counter to the left trying to control language and intimidate us.

Christian Patriotism!

I wrote a blog two years ago How to Respond When Labeled a “Christian Nationalist!” Now they’re trying to reignite this term to sling at us, but we can just sling it back at them as we’re proud to be patriotic Christians!

“Shout with the voice of a trumpet blast.
    Shout aloud! Don’t be timid.
Tell my people Israel of their sins! Isaiah 58:1

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed…” (Romans 12:2)

After 47 Years of Bondage, God Is Using Our 47th President Prophetically in Iran!

8

Before awakening Saturday morning to learn that America and Israel had joined forces to attack Iran, I’d planned to write about my response to the State of the Union (SOTU), but that almost seems like old news now. However, I understand why President Trump waited until after the SOTU before launching this Iranian attack because he wanted the American public to observe a few things first.

Who would stand with him in Operation Epic Fury and who would immediately object? Actually, who would object to anything he does or says?

During the SOTU, with few exceptions, the Democrats sat on their hands with scowls on their faces, some even yelling and harassing him as if they were at a protest rally. Democrats who abdicated their congressional duty by boycotting his speech held a bizarre event with jungle posters, furies, profanity-laced rappers and speakers, disgraced and fired former newscasters, and a Trump-hating fowl-mouthed washed-up actor. They think that F-ing everything is going to win them votes instead of cringes and repulsion.

For those who did attend SOTU, we saw the stark contrast between Republicans and Democrats.

A tale of two different countries. Two different sets of morals and values. Good vs. evil!

  • Republicans: “USA, USA, USA!” Democrats: “KKK, KKK, KKK!”
  • Republicans stood and clapped for American families. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for combat veterans. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for strong borders. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for secure elections. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for Angel Families. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for No Tax on Tips, Overtime, or Social Security. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for Parental Rights. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for a 5 year-old severely injured by an illegal with a commercial truck license. Democrats sat and sulked as she smiles and waves.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for the crying parents of Iryna Zarutska murdered by a career criminal. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood for a woman whose school & doctors pushed gender transition on her behind her parents’ back. Democrats ignored her as a man dressed like a woman sat amongst them.

The final Trump zinger: “Stand if you agree: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

Republicans jumped to their feet whistling and applauding loudly.

In front of millions watching, Congressional Democrats remained seated and scowling.

Trump rightfully called the Democrats “Crazy” and chastised, “You should be ashamed of yourselves.”

So is it any surprise that in the dark of night, 10 minutes before President Donald Trump even announced that the U.S. and Israel had attacked Iran, a network of U.S. nonprofits aligned with China, Russia, and Tehran swung into action. Even as the initial bombs were dropping, they activated foot soldiers to hit America’s streets with ready-made anti-U.S. talking points signs.

Why China and Russia sponsoring the protests? Todd Starnes answered that question well:

“Do you understand the significance of what is happening in world affairs right now? This was never just about Iran. This was about Russia and China – and putting both of those nations on their backs on the global stage. This was about protecting the American people from a nuclear Iran. This was about protecting our great ally from being annihilated. And if President Trump succeeds in defeating Iran, this will be the greatest foreign policy achievement in modern political history.”

What Does the Bible Say About America’s Operation Epic Fury and Israel’s Roaring Lion?

The following is by Facebook friend Jan Blount Martin shared with permission.

“If you’re criticizing the fact that the United States and Israel have joined together to take down the regime in Iran, you are biblically illiterate.

The place “Israel” was given to the Jewish people as their nation . . . If you think God has forsaken the Jewish people because they are not “religious” as they once were, you are again, biblically illiterate. The number of times the Jewish people disappointed God because of their decisions to wander away from him are many, yet God never broke covenant with them because his covenant with them was everlasting and God does not break his covenants.

The evidence that he did not break covenant with them was that in spite of the many times that they forsook him, he still sent his son to be their Messiah as He had promised them, which was the very foundation of his covenant with them. And for the record, Christians did not replace the Jews, but are grafted in to God’s covenant with the Jews because of what Jesus did on the cross.

Too many people who are spewing their hate for Israel, are mistaking a place with a people. I am an American born and raised, and who is running my government does not define me. America is a place but Americans are people. Israel is a place but Israelis are a people who are descendants of Jacob and the 12 tribes which began with Jacob‘s 12 sons. Jacob was not a place. He was a person who was renamed Israel.

God loves and protects his children, regardless of where they live or who their government is. Iran is a threat to us all. They hate Jews and Christians alike. America is considered a Christian nation just as Israel is considered a Jewish nation, and Iran is a threat to us both.

I have said all of this to say; God bless President Trump for being willing to take action with Israel to take down the biggest terrorist regime in the world! May God bless and protect our military troops, and may we as Americans support and honor those willing to serve.” 🙏✝️✡️🙏🇺🇸

‘47’ Helps Free Iran After 47 Years!

Iran was biblically and historically Persia until 1935 when the name was changed in an effort to modernize the country and promote a unified sense of pride among its citizens. In 1979, Iran underwent an oppressive Islamic regime revolution, which has held power for 47 years!

President Trump is now our 47th President. He was also our 45th President. He tried to become our 46.th Many of us lamented that election was stolen, but it’s evident today that God had a different plan for President Trump for such a time as this.

Whether or not you like President Trump is irrelevant to biblical and historical prophecy.

In Isaiah 45, God calls pagan political leader Cyrus, the King of Persia, to let the Jews return from Babylonian exile and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, earning Cyrus a unique status as a divinely appointed liberator in Jewish tradition.

When Trump became the 45th president in the 2016 election, many people saw the parallel between him and Cyrus. Trump did what many previous Presidents promised but never did. On December 6, 2017, he relocated the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and America recognized Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel!

Today, as the 47th President, Trump is working with Israel to free Iran from 47 years of Islamic tyranny. Lisa Daftari, an Iranian American, describes the past 47 years after Iran’s Islamic Revolution overthrew the U.S. backed Shah in 1979:

“Let me be very clear: America did not start a war with the Islamic Republic. The regime declared war on us [America] in 1979, when militants stormed our embassy in Tehran, seized American diplomats, and held 52 of them hostage for 444 days. Since then, the regime and its proxies have targeted our service members, our diplomats, and our partners across the region through terrorism, rocket and drone attacks, and assassination plots.

They have built and directed a vast network of militias and terrorist organizations that have attacked U.S. forces and allies in Lebanon, Iraq, the Persian Gulf, and beyond, and they continue to explore options for asymmetric attacks, including the potential use of covert operatives and sleeper cells right here against Americans at home and abroad. This has been the regime’s established playbook for nearly 50 years; it’s just that most American presidents decided to ignore or in some cases, fuel, this threat.

So no, President Trump did not ‘start’ a war with Iran’s regime. Together with Prime Minister Netanyahu, he made the difficult and consequential decision to confront and, ultimately, end it. And yes, the Iranian people, the broader Middle East, and we Americans will be safer for generations for it.”

Following is a personal testimony of someone who witnessed the takeover of Iran by Tehran’s Islamic Republic regime:

“47 years ago, I stood at a window in Tehran as a 3-year-old boy, smelling burning tires and hearing the chants that would steal my country. I didn’t have words for what was happening. Today, I am watching smoke rise over the same city — but this time the smoke is not the end of Iran. It is, God willing, the beginning of her resurrection.

Several weeks ago, I wrote that the fever of 1979 was finally breaking. I never imagined I would wake up to see that fever confronted so directly. Israel — with the clear support of the United States — has launched a preemptive strike deep into Tehran and against the regime’s military machinery. Explosions in the capital. Military targets hit. The IRGC’s aura of invincibility, already cracked, is shattering in real time.

I do not celebrate war. No decent person does. What I celebrate — what millions of Iranians inside the country and in the diaspora have prayed for in secret for decades — is the possibility that a regime which has no right to exist may finally be forced to go.

This is the same regime that:

– Armed and cheered the October 7 massacre against Israel for no reason other than pure genocidal hatred.

– Murdered tens of thousands of its own sons and daughters who dared to walk peacefully in the streets demanding the most basic freedoms.

– Gouges out the eyes of young women for the “crime” of wearing makeup.

– Hangs teenagers from cranes for posting a tweet.

– Exports terror, poverty, and darkness to every corner it can reach including the U.S.

No nation, no people, should have to live under that. Not Israelis. Not Americans. Not Lebanese. Not Syrians. And certainly not Iranians.

I am a physician who has spent his life trying to heal bodies and a son of Iran who has spent his life mourning a stolen homeland. What we are witnessing is not aggression — it is surgery. Painful, necessary surgery to remove a tumor that has metastasized for 47 years. The tumor is the Islamic Republic that has hijacked Iran.

To the brave pilots and special operators of the Israeli Air Force and the men and women of the United States military now carrying out this mission: I pray for you with everything I have.

May God shield you from harm. May every missile find its target and every soldier return home safely to the families who love them. You are not invaders. You are the answer to the prayers of millions who have whispered “enough” in the dark since 1979. You are giving our friends the chance to breathe free air again. The entire region will owe you a peace we have not known in my lifetime.

To my fellow Iranians watching from inside the country right now, heart pounding, maybe hiding in basements or on rooftops: Hold on. The end is clearer than it has ever been. The regime’s fear is real. Their eyes — those same eyes that once stared down at us with absolute power — now show something they haven’t shown in decades: panic. The math has changed. The window of 1979 is finally closing.

To the little three-year-old boy I once was — and to every little boy and girl in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Tabriz today who hears explosions instead of lullabies: This time the sounds are not the closing of a door. They are the opening of one.

The road ahead will not be easy. Transitions never are. But the direction is unmistakable. A secular, prosperous, free Iran is no longer a dream — it is becoming an inevitability.

I have lived the stolen life so that others might not have to. Today, for the first time in 47 years, I allow myself to believe that the stealing is almost over.

Thank you, Israel. Thank you, America. The Iranian people — the real Iran — will never forget.

The fever is breaking.

The dawn of 2026 is here.

And this time, the light wins.“– Testimony written by Houmand David Hemmati, MD, PHD

Randy Kay Ministries encourages: “But hear me: God is not surprised. This isn’t a time for politics, but it is a time to turn your life over to Jesus because He’s definitely not surprised with what’s happening right now and it will all work out to His glory either here or in eternity.

God’s not wringing His hands in Heaven. He told us these things would happen. Jesus Himself said in Luke 21:28: ‘When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.’

This is not the time to cower. This is the time to rise and stand up for Jesus.”

Amen!

Which brings me back to the State of the Union when President Trump asked everyone in the room to stand if you believe that the government’s first duty is to protect American citizens, not illegals and the Democrats stayed seated. Now, we’re watching in real time, the majority of Democrats criticizing President Trump’s actions to protect America from Iranian nuclear obliteration. Putting partisan politics over our protection, Democrats would rather let the Iranian tyrannical regime nuke Israel, “the little Satan,” and then come for America “the big Satan!”

Is that who you want governing America? If the Democrats ever get back in power again, they will undo all the good the Trump Administration has done to protect us from evil within and outside our borders.

Iranian-American Democrat Moj Mahdara told Dana Bash on CNN about the freeing of Iran: “This will be like ending the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall.” She continued, “This is a transformational moment for humankind, for security, and as an American, as an American, this is in our interest to complete it. So, I am a Democrat, I have been a huge Democrat. I am incredibly disappointed with my party. I do not see myself in them in this moment,” she added.

So, I Janet am asking, even if you’re a Democrat like Moj Mahdara and it goes against your party, will you stand up for protecting America and God’s chosen people in Israel and freeing the Iranian people?

Next, I’m asking will you stand up unashamedly for Jesus in the public square, in your family, in your workplace, everywhere and anywhere God takes you outside the church walls?

I pray your answer is, “Of course!” Because voting biblically and living biblically is how we’re called to occupy until Christ returns for His church and it seems very clear that could be in some of your lifetimes . . . maybe even in mine!

Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. Ps. 122:6 NLT

A time for war and a time for peace. Ecc. 3:8 NLT

“This isn’t just a political shift. This is prophecy colliding with time. The veils are lifting. The trumpets are sounding. The era of fear is over, and the era of the Liberator has begun.

​Bondage broken. Destiny reclaimed. History is ROARING.” –Afshine Emrani

Come, everyone! Clap your hands!
    Shout to God with joyful praise!
2 For the Lord Most High is awesome.
    He is the great King of all the earth.
3 He subdues the nations before us,
    putting our enemies beneath our feet.
7 For God is the King over all the earth.
    Praise him with a psalm.
8 God reigns above the nations,
    sitting on his holy throne.
9 The rulers of the world have gathered together
    with the people of the God of Abraham. Psalm 47:1-3, 7-9

PS I’m sorry for the length today. This is such an historically biblical time and there’s so much to say about it. Thank you for reading to the end.

The Devil Always Reveals What He’s Afraid Of!

3

On November 8, 2021, I wrote a blog, “They’re Coming for Our Children.”

Well, “they’re” still coming for our children.

Who are the “they”?

Liberal left Democrats . . .

Legislators. Congressional representatives. Governors. Sexual perverts. Rainbow, Trans, Drag cults. Sexual ideology (I don’t even want to honor it here with their initials). Woke. DEI. Schools. Teachers Union. Some teachers. Medical professionals. Surgeons. Hospitals. Doctors. Judges. Islamists. Socialists. Atheists. Liberal media. Sex traffickers. Perverts. Radical activists.

They are knowingly, or maybe unknowingly, the devil’s pawns.

They’ve become disciples of demonism.

They’re advancing the devil’s agenda to destroy the minds and morals of pliable young children.

They claim to want accountability for the Epstein files, while thousands of unaccompanied children were trafficked over the border and lost during the Biden administration!

They campaign for the murder of children in the womb up through birth and babies surviving botched abortions are by law left to die in states like Oregon!

They stump for the horrific sexual mutilation of children by the medical profession and in San Diego last week a judge literally forced a hospital to keep mutilating and destroying children’s lives. The epitome of demonism.

They want young school age children exposed to X-rated books as young as kindergarten. A teacher in Nashville who didn’t want to read a mandatory “language arts curriculum” book about same-sex marriage to his first-grade class was reassigned to a lab position, even though he asked for a religious exemption which was denied.

“The principal indicated that the belief in same-sex marriage is so fundamental to the language arts unit that Mr. Rivera could not possibly be permitted to teach in any portion of the unit, and therefore had to be removed from the first-grade classroom,” according to First Liberty who represented the teacher.

In Florida, a school board voted to keep a graphic animal sex book on school library shelves and there are so many other examples of this in school libraries.

How does any Christian teacher teach today without violating their Christian beliefs?

You’ve probably seen disgusting video clips of gay and trans crossdressing teachers bragging about how they discuss their sexual preferences and liberal Trump-hating political beliefs with their young classes. Is DEI forcing schools to hire these radical teachers?

CBN News broke the story about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth firing a FT. Bragg teacher who identifies as a “trans wolf” with the name ‘Lilith Deathhowl.’ Parents had been upset since early 2025 that administrators hadn’t taken action to remove the teacher after he engaged in “disturbing behavior” that involved dressing in feminine clothing in class, as well as wearing a dog collar with fetish tags and an animal tail.

A letter from Liberty Counsel, which had been calling on the Department of Defense Education Activity to remove the teacher from the classroom, reported that the teacher had involved children in his sexual fetishes by:

  •     telling students he turns into a “wolf” at night – his fetish animal;
  •     directing them to howl like wolves;
  •     requiring them to call him by some of his online wolf character names;
  •     requiring his students to address him by inaccurate female names and pronouns;
  •     and telling the children he is “actually a woman” who “likes boys.”

Parents reported that their children felt scared and anxious after the teacher flaunted his sexualized persona. One mother told Liberty Counsel that her daughter expressed fear, saying, “Mommy, I’m scared he’s going to come eat me,” referring to statements the teacher made about turning into a wolf at night. 

School principals and teachers are encouraging children to walk out of school and become anarchists protesting ICE law enforcement.

Teachers can’t talk about Jesus; but they can talk about perverted sex, fetishes, and politics to groom young children?!

Why Are Our Children Under Attack By Satan?

Answer: The devil hates God and children are created in God’s image. Christian families have the potential to produce little Christians, which Satan hates.

The devil hates school choice!

The devil is afraid the young are going to rise up and be a source of revival and his rival in America.

So he’s killing them through abortion or drugs.

Or destroying their bodies and minds with sexual identity confusion, fetishes, hormones, and mutilation surgeries.

Addiction to electronics and social media.

Radicalizing them to acts of violence, where they’re often killed.

Suicide.

Whether a Christian or not, discerning people know that a young child who isn’t old enough to live on their own, drive, buy alcohol, fill a prescription, even buy aspirin, vote, or get a tattoo or their ears pierced without parental permission, shouldn’t make decisions that medically and physically alter their bodies and reproduction capabilities for life.

Yet the rainbow mafia, trans lobbyists, and advocates have convinced the left to champion not only tolerance of trans ideology, but encouraging and in some cases legally forcing, parents to let their children be castrated and mutilated.

Big medicine saw the value of having a patient for life knowing that biologically a man cannot become a woman or vice versa no matter how many body parts you cut off or how many hormones you drug them with.

God made us either a man or woman for life, but many people bought into the devil’s lie and used children as a demonic experiment that has destroyed the lives of millions of children, some of whom are now old enough to realize the damage they were allowed to do to their body and are winning malpractice lawsuits.

That’s a wakeup call to the medical cash cow. Instead of raking in money for mutilating children, they’re now forced to pay. Money can never replace what these children have lost.

Even the Plastic Surgeons Association is admitting that surgically mutilating children is a horrendous practice. The AMA also issued a statement recommending these surgeries be deferred until adulthood, but hopefully they too will adhere to President Trump’s executive order when he first took office to stop this medical malpractice on innocent children and fearmongering their parents into compliance.

A plastic surgeon who trained at a major Manhattan hospital is now apologizing for failing to “speak up” after witnessing minors as young as 13 undergo “irreversible” gender surgeries.

“As a father to three young children and as a physician who took an oath to do no harm, I failed to speak up, and I just want to thank President Trump for having more clarity on this,” Dr. Ira Savetsky said on “Fox & Friends.”

Now he’s speaking up because the hospital he works at after pressure from President Trump’s threat to cut off funds is discontinuing their “Transgender Youth Health Program.”

The doctor’s defense for not speaking up sooner: “You work so hard to get there… you don’t want to make waves.”

Savetsky now questions the pressure families receive when their child questions their gender. “I can only imagine what the parents were going through. I mean, they’re told that their child is going to kill themselves if they don’t have these surgeries. They’re pressured, and what are you supposed to do? You’ve dropped everything to do the right thing for your child, and I think that, unfortunately, there was a lot of financial motivation with these institutions.”

Dr. Savestsky knew transgender surgeries on children was wrong and went against his oath to do no harm but he didn’t want to jeopardize his own career. He was a coward. He didn’t speak up until President Trump made it easier for him.

He and his profession are responsible for the children who after having their physiological system flooded with hormones and multiple surgeries commit suicide. Or turn violent and go on shooting sprees often being killed or killing themselves. No man should ever experience PMS nor a women become masculinized.

God didn’t create us to try to become something we’re not.

While liberals have imposed tolerance, affirmation, and acceptance, these children didn’t receive the qualified mental illness treatment and access to spiritual counseling they needed. It’s like instead of getting psychological and medical help for a child with anorexia, you instead let them starve themselves to death while affirming how great their deteriorating body looks. What doctor or parent would ever do that?

This debate isn’t about hate—it’s about medical ethics, child development, and parental rights. Riley Gaines, an advocate for keeping men out of women’s sports, argues that doctors should help kids and parents navigate confusion with care and patience, not label them as “born wrong.” For many parents, that’s a reasonable line: protect children from irreversible decisions while they’re still growing.

Kids deserve compassion and caution. Most families believe major medical interventions should wait until adulthood, with parents—not activists or institutions—making those calls. A serious issue deserves honest discussion, evidence-based medicine, well-documented research, and respect for families.

Trans ideology must be treated as the demonic threat that it clearly is to everyone. There’ve been multiple shootings, including of family members, at the hands of transgenders.

Other types of mind radicalization by a violent and assassination culture have seen young men recently committing heinous crimes, assassinations, and attempted assassinations. When we woke up this morning to the news that there was an intruder at Mar A Lago carrying a gas can and gun, I knew before I heard it that he would be young. He was 21!

Satan sadistically laughs at violence and murders, especially those that take down children.

Sadly, Christians often aren’t good at standing up for truth.

Good people often tell truth poorly, while evil people tell lies well.

After all, the liars are getting their marching orders from the father of lies!

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44

The Devil is Afraid of the Next Generation!

Praise God, many in the next generation are going back to church and reading their Bible even as the devil is using the left to try and make it ugly for them, especially for Turning Point USA (TPUSA) kids. These kids have experienced the contrast of good and evil. They saw a 31-year-old man who was trying to rescue them from the devil’s grip assassinated by a young man with a trans, furry male lover.

The devil’s attempt to stop Charlie Kirk’s ministry to youth has backfired.

Justin Streiff, Chief Operating Officer for TPUSA, explains the evil TPUSA is encountering as they’re exponentially growing after the murder of Charlie Kirk. “That [ugly] has always come with the territory when you’re speaking truth deep in the belly of the beast… But this semester is different.”

Then he shares what some of the kids have been experiencing in the most hostile semester they’ve ever faced…Satan is turning up the heat:

From coast to coast, high school and college students who dared to stand for faith, freedom, and this great nation have been stalked, slandered, threatened, and in some cases — physically attacked. 

All for saying what you and I know to be true: 

That America is worth defending. That speech must remain free. That Charlie Kirk’s life and legacy meant something. 

Despite the opposition — our students didn’t back down. 

They didn’t run. They didn’t hide.  

They showed up — earlier, louder, and stronger than ever before. 

But not without cost. 

TPUSA reports that in spite of all the harassment on campuses their students aren’t folding.

They’re still tabling at campus events.  

They’re still meeting after school — still recruiting, still growing.  

They’re still passing out pocket Constitutions and American flags.  

They’re still launching chapters in hostile territory — places where they’ve been told, outright, that they’re not welcome. 

And while their peers stage “ICE Walkouts” and chaos in the halls… 

Our students are gathering to pray — for their schools, for law enforcement, and for this nation — quietly around their school’s flagpole.  

That’s because these students made a decision — the same decision Charlie challenged them to every day: “It doesn’t take skill to be courageous. It takes a choice.” 

They chose courage.  

They chose to stand for faith, freedom, and family. They chose to defend everything that makes this country worth fighting for.  

They truly are the courageous generation.  

TPUSA Kids & Those Like Them Make Satan Afraid!!

Pray for the next generation to keep making Satan afraid and for them to stay strong against this enemy.

To keep the faith.

To remain courageous.

To give Satan something to worry about!

“Because demons long for bigger and more interesting prey — a meal they can play with for a while before devouring it. . . A nation that cannot say, “this is a baby and he deserves protection” will soon be unable to say, “This is a child and she [or he] deserves protection.”—Seth Gruber, White Rose Ministry

PS “The incident on February 22 at Mar a Lago isn’t just a security breach; it is a call to intercede for a broken world where hearts are often consumed by darkness. We find solace in knowing that while ‘the horse is made ready for the day of battle, victory rests with the Lord.’ Let us stand in the gap, praying for the families of the fallen, the mental well-being of our youth, and the continued ‘divine hedge of protection’ over our nation’s leaders and future leaders.” Prayer from a Facebook friend

Saving Women’s Rights and Sports!

2

I’m reading Charlie Kirk’s last book published posthumously, Stop in the Name of God. The first chapter is titled Genesis 1:1 with the opening Scripture, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” You might think that’s elementary since most Christians know this verse, or should, but Charlie devoted the opening of his book to reaffirming this fact. Sometimes, even Christians need to go back to the basics of the creation story, including how God in Genesis chapter 2 created a man and a woman as unique and separate individuals.
 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Gen. 2:7

But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[b] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[c] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. Gen. 2:20-22

Since the beginning of time, the physical distinctiveness of male and female has been an established biological, scientific, and biblical fact established at conception and revealed at birth until science invented ultrasound to determine sex in the womb during pregnancy and gender reveals became the rage.

When I was pregnant, the ultimate surprise was in the delivery room when the doctor announced to a panting exhausted new mother that she had just given birth to a boy or girl. That might seem archaic to some now, but other moms will remember with me how we waited with great anticipation to learn the sex of our new baby. While anticipating the birth of our baby, we decorated with neutral colors and enjoyed the birth gifts when friends and family learned whether we needed pink or blue baby clothes.

I’ll admit though that ultrasounds have been used to save many babies lives as the expectant mother sees her baby is a real little person developing in her tummy with fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes, ears, a nose, and mouth. So even though God’s sex reveal at birth is outdated now, the redeeming value is more babies born. Praise God!

However, sci-fi wasn’t satisfied with knowing pre-birth sex, they started trying to play God by altering the foundations of humanity. First psychologically. Then ideologically. Ultimately physiologically. The medical community who take the Hippocratic Oath to preserve life decided they could dabble in genetics and try to distort and transform men into women and women into men, while originating a new term “trans.”

But no amount of chemicals, drugs, hormones, surgeries, or brainwashing will ever alter or transform a person’s DNA, chromosomes, muscle, body and bone structure that God created for every individual within their mother’s womb. The heretical, immoral, unethical, evil people in the scientific, psychological, and medical field making trillions of dollars with patients for life will never replace God, but God will judge them.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Ps. 139:13-14

“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matt. 18:6

Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness. Pr. 14:22

The vocal rainbow coalition activists combined with the abuse of modern medicine to create, deceive, and foster genetic confusion and bodily castration and mutilation with the fallacy that just wanting to identify as a different sex is achievable. It’s not! Unethical psychologists and physicians saw this as the cash cow that it is and political lobbyists for the homosexual community created a cult where schoolteachers were forced to use the language of a world gone mad.

The downfall into denouncing God and the Bible started with the legalization of same-sex marriage under the Obama Administration. It’s become diabolically degenerating since then with rampant pedophilia, child sex trafficking, men in women’s bathrooms, spas, dressing rooms, locker rooms, private areas, and sports. Even conjuring up terms like “furries” “trans” and “cis-woman.” The confirmation of Supreme Court justices like Ketanji Brown Jackson who can’t define a woman, even though she is a woman herself is insanity! [The Bizarre World of Ketanji Brown Jackson by Everett Piper]

Or recently, when Senator Josh Hawley asked OB-GYN Dr. Nisha Verma, a woman, for a simple yes or no if men could get pregnant, she wouldn’t answer! More insanity!

Coming off Obama’s disastrous years, coaches and school administrators fearing cancel-culture refused to protect girls and keep men out of women’s sports. Parents were often rebuffed if they complained, even when their daughters were forced to room with men on travels. The girls who were brave enough to protest were shamed, silenced, and told they had to acquiesce to men playing on women’s teams if they wanted to play sports. But one by one, especially after swimmer Riley Gaines lost her trophy to a man who she tied because the political optics were better for him to be in first place, girls started speaking out.

The liberal left and Democrats have made this a political issue and tried to cancel or fire anyone who wouldn’t go along with trying to eliminate God from His creation by allowing men to be publically recognized and treated as women. There’s no such thing as a “transgender woman or man.” God only creates men and women!

Currently a Democrat man is masquerading as a woman in Congress and in Idaho one is running for governor! Sadly, even some churches decided to become more culturally and “socially” correct than biblically correct, which would require eliminating most of the Bible starting with Genesis 1:1.

Saving Women’s Rights and Sports

Title IX was passed in 1972 to insure equal opportunities for women in sports. But over the last decade, men have invaded women’s sports as fake gender ideology has seared consciences and culture. Title IX was passed because men and women are different. The Biden Administration tried to alter Title IX’s definition of sex to include gender identity but it didn’t pass. Still most blue states deny women their Title IX rights.

Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 1 Tim. 4:2

Idaho and West Virginia established laws protecting women in sports in their states. The Supreme Court heard two cases last week involving men suing to play in women’s sports in these two states. Girls had their day in court!  

I’m proud to say that Idaho, where we’ve lived for almost fifteen years, was the first state to take legal action to protect our girls in sports in March 2020 by passing House Bill 500 “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act” implementing the nation’s first transgender policy barring trans female athletes from playing on women’s sports teams. West Virginia then passed a similar law. Alliance Defending Freedom’s (ADF) helped draft those bills, as did the Idaho Family Policy Center in Idaho.  

Male students “identifying as women” challenged the state’s laws and the ACLU represented them. Idaho and West Virginia appealed to the Supreme Court, which accepted both cases. SCOTUS usually doesn’t take on two similar cases, but because they each bring up different issues, one against the Constitution and one against Title IX, SCOTUS heard both in the same day.

Since President Trump signed an executive order specifically restricting federal funds to schools that allow males to compete on women’s teams under Title IX, 32 states have passed laws to protect women in sports. Despite the majority of states now banning men from women’s athletics, 18 states still allow males who claim transgender status to compete on women’s sports teams, posing a risk to the safety and fairness of female athletes. 

I encourage you to listen to this short interview Defending Biblical Truth in Women’s Sports, with ADF’s Kate Anderson and Fearless’ Cissie Graham Lynch, Franklin Graham’s daughter.

SCOTUS Showdown: ACLU lawyer stumped by basic biology

During the Supreme Court hearing arguments on the Idaho and West VA cases, Justice Alito asked ACLU a simple question: “What is a man? What is a woman?”

Their answer? “We don’t have a definition.”

Yes, you read that correctly. This was the definition debate heard around the world.

If the so-called guardians of “civil rights” can’t even define sex, how can they claim to defend it? This is the collapse of common sense, live in the highest court of the land.

It was hard to hear some of the judges like Amy Coney Barrett using non-terms like “trans women” and “cis women” instead of men and women. I’m sure she would call herself a woman, not a cis woman! Men pretending to be women are not “trans” or “women.” They’re mentally disturbed men, have a fetish, or can’t excel in men’s sports so they want to eviscerate women. Whatever their reasons, it’s wrong and not normal, legal, moral, or biblical!

Testosterone levels do NOT determine, define, or erase biological sex, bone and muscle structure, strength, or DNA, which is what the opposing side was trying to argue to SCOTUS. Listening to the side who can’t define a man or a woman was pathetic. Women are more than hormone levels!

It was also disappointing to have so much time given to the “feelings” and “fairness” of men being excluded from women’s sports. Identifying as a woman does NOT make a man a woman. There should’ve been more discussion given to the feelings and fairness to women who lose scholarships, scholastic and career opportunities, trophies, medals, not to mention being exposed to lewd voyeur men who still have all their male parts in locker rooms, showers, and private areas. In what world is that fair or safe for women?!

Let me mention also that even though Governor of California Newsom has admitted in interviews with both Charlie Kirk and Ben Schapiro that men in women’s sports isn’t fair and he can see the other side, I’ve read his excuse for allowing men in women’s sports in his state is because he has a “trans godson.” Just because our child, grandchild, or godchild chooses an alternate lifestyle doesn’t make it okay to inflict it on others. Enabling a confused child instead of engaging mental help for them does more harm than good.   

In last week’s blog, Respect and Appreciate the Men and Women Who Keep Us Safe by Enforcing the Law, I introduced you to Janet Elaine Parks. I hope some of you started following her on social media. Here are some of her remarks last week about SCOTUS hearing the women’s rights cases.

Protecting Women’s Rights (Because Women’s Spaces Should Stay Female)

This is one that the left loves to weaponize… But conservatives are not “anti-anyone” for saying a basic truth:

Men are men. Women are women.

And women deserve:

  • private spaces
  • fair competition
  • basic safety protections

This administration supports keeping biological men out of women’s sports, bathrooms, locker rooms, and private spaces.

  • That isn’t hateful.
  • That’s reality.
  • And pretending biology doesn’t exist doesn’t make society “inclusive”…
  • It makes women pay the price.

Women fought for decades to earn:

✅fair sports opportunities

✅safe boundaries

✅sex-based protections

And now the left is trying to erase those protections by calling women “bigots” for wanting what we already had: A protected category called WOMEN.

Bodies Play Sports, Not Identities

In the opening picture of this blog, former champion gymnast Jennifer Sey, a seven-time member of the United States women’s national artistic gymnastics team and the 1986 U.S. All-Around National Champion founder of the XX-XY Athletics brand, is sounding the alarm arguing women’s sports are for women and warning that “identity affirmation” is replacing fairness and safety. I encourage you to read more of her comments here.  http://dlvr.it/TQP5Py

I want to thank Idaho for defending women not just in our state, but going all the way to the Supreme Court to protect women in every state for our daughters and granddaughters in the future.

Pray SCOTUS stands by biological women’s rights, protection, dignity, and recognition that mentally challenged men cannot challenge women in sports or erase womanhood. Pray for wisdom and discernment as the justices deliberate. The cases before SCOTUS last week are not just about isolated incidents in two states. The justices’ decision will shape how our girls are able to do what they love—and feel safe doing so—for generations to come.

This is not a political issue. It’s a Genesis issue and comes down to the biblical definition of God creating us male and female. Together let’s stand fearlessly for what’s right. Let’s pray the Supreme Court determines that girls are girls and boys can’t become girls in Idaho, West Virginia, or any state in America!!!

An article to read. We Were College Athletes Supreme Court Must Listen to Our Case and Save Women’s Sports written by two female college athletes from Idaho, Madison Kenyon and Marky Kate Marshall, defendants in the Idaho case heard by SCOTUS last week. Here’s their opening and I encourage you to read the rest of the article from girls who have experienced the heartbreak of having men in women’s sports and taking over 890 medals from female athletes.
 “Imagine if the U.S. Supreme Court was asked to rule on whether the law of gravity still applies, even in these early years of the 21st century. After all, some people are uncomfortable with their size. They feel sluggish and weighed down by that pull from the Earth. Why shouldn’t they just be able to ignore gravity and float along as easily as they please? Why should any law of nature be allowed to constrain how light and thin someone feels inside? If that sounds ridiculous to you, imagine how female athletes have felt in recent years, having to compete against males just because they’ve been told that feeling like a woman can make them so.”

Respect and Appreciate the Men and Women Who Keep Us Safe by Enforcing the Law

1

There’s so much on my heart and mind to write about that it’s been difficult to focus on one topic as I prayed about this week’s Monday Morning Blog. As my daughter Kim said, “Mom, it seems like every day there’s something new they’re protesting about.” She’s right. Events are coming at us so quickly that we can barely process before another one happens.

The federal government’s actions focused on making America safer and greater, instantly result in antagonistic anti-American protests by groups of people brainwashed, trained, and paid to not just protest but to interfere with and impede anything President Donald Trump sanctions, even when it will make their own lives better and safer. TDS is a mental and spiritual illness that is literally getting people killed!

First amendment civil protesters allow themselves to be arrested in order to emphasize just how important their cause is to them. Generally, with minimal or no harm to police and bystanders. Today’s protests, particularly in so-called sanctuary states where local government and law enforcement won’t work with federal ICE agents, aren’t rational, logical, peaceful, or civil! They’re often violent and dangerous. That’s how you know they’re fueled by Satan the father of chaos, lies, and confusion. Yes, hypocritical insane dangerous protests like the following are criminal and satanic:

  • Burning Tesla dealerships and keying Tesla cars that the Biden Administration and blue states like California were trying to force everyone to own. But when Tesla founder Elon Musk started finding graft and fraud in the swamp with DOGE, Democrats did an about-face and protested the very cars they had been promoting.
  • Protests on college campuses against Israel and Jews while endorsing sadistic Hamas terrorists.
  • Protesting the prevention of fentanyl coming into America that’s killing children and adults.
  • Protesting the capture of a brutal dictator like Maduro who the Biden administration had put a bounty on for his arrest.
  • Protesting making neighborhoods safer for themselves, their families, and neighbors. Impeding ICE from capturing criminals, monsters, violent gang members, terrorists, murderers, illegals, and child molesters who invaded our borders un-vetted under the Biden Administration and endanger every American.

The burning question: who is Satan using to finance these violent criminal protests with terrorist-like training and pay?

National Law Enforcement Appreciation

Did you know that Friday, January 9th was National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day? With all the news in Minnesota, tragically this day was severely neglected, and I didn’t see much appreciation. I barely saw anything about it on social media and heard nothing on the news. And yet, these men and women devote their very lives to saving and protecting our lives. National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day was established in 2015 by multiple organizations to publicly express gratitude for officers across the United States. One of the leading organizations behind the initiative is C.O.P.S – Concerns of Police Survivors. According to the group, it’s essential that officers know their demanding career path is recognized and valued by the people they serve.

Many of you know that my father, Officer Robert E. Reed, was a California Highway Patrolman killed with his own gun in the line of duty by someone he had pulled over for going the wrong way on the freeway. My father gave his life to save others, which is a possibility all law enforcement officers encounter every time they put on the uniform and go out the door to protect their fellow citizens.

In the case of ICE and Border Patrol Officers, they’re protecting you, me, our loved ones, and even the protesters and their families from people the Biden Administration indiscriminately let into our country knowing that many countries like Venezuela were opening their jails and prisons and letting out the worst of the worst to freely cross into our country. How does anyone think Tren de Aragua and MS13 gang members and other criminals with rap sheets in their own country got into our country? Most of them didn’t hop on a plane and pay their way to get here, they illegally were let into our country to terrorize and even kill our citizens.

The last administration refused to follow the border laws because they wanted to unjustly infiltrate in a voting base since they couldn’t get patriotic American citizens to vote for them and their ungodly policies. That’s why the Democrats and mainstream media are fighting so hard against the commonsense justice of deporting and/or arresting illegals many of whom have continued their crime and fraud sprees against innocent American families.

Well, we’re about to find out who is funding this domestic terrorism as Vice President JD Vance announced in a Press Conference last week, a new position in the Justice Department, an assistant attorney general. Hopefully, in addition to investigating fraud across the nation, they’ll also unveil bad actors training and paying American citizens in anti-ICE training centers to harass law enforcement officers by throwing rocks, bricks and ice, even Subway sandwiches at them. Using personal cars to block or ram into ICE vehicles and even ICE agents. Yell, spit, and hit officers, blow whistles, make noise when their trying to rest, dox and threaten their families.

Anti-ICE training centers remind me of Hamas and Islamists suicide bomb trainings. The indoctrination of Americans participating in this domestic terrorism brainwashing can be lethal, like the woman in Minnesota who instead of following law enforcement orders to get out of her car, was told by her lesbian partner to “drive baby drive” to get away aiming straight for the ICE agent in front of her. The partner was filming it all like she was making a documentary maybe to post on social media or send to the training center to prove they’d earned their pay! That’s my speculation, but even the partner was crying that it was her fault because she made Renee Good come to harass the ICE agents all morning, along with their dog in the car.

If you had asked them why they were protesting to protect criminals, while they were becoming criminals themselves, what would’ve been their answer? Maybe something like “This was what we were trained to do.” “I don’t know.” “I hate Trump!” Or as one protester told Laura Ingraham who asked why she wasn’t at work, “I’m getting paid here.”

What’s God’s Opinion About Lawlessness?

“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but too bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.” (Romans 13:1-4)

Traci Coston wrote on her Facebook page that lawlessness is the spirit of the antichrist and I agree. “Rules are not a terror to good conduct. When a government is acting in righteousness, and the people respect their authority, all will be well. I don’t panic when I pass a cop car if I’m going the speed limit. But we are seeing a generation of people whose hearts are far from God (the Minnesota woman was living a homosexual lifestyle), who are unable to tell right from wrong, rebel against authority because of their inability to perceive wickedness from righteousness. And this is just one, horribly sad, example of someone paying the price for that rebellion.” Traci Coston

The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing. Pr. 10:28

TRUTH CHECK: ICE Is Not “Attacking Communities.” They Are Enforcing the Law.

Janet Elaine Parks, who I encourage you to follow on Facebook because she presents factual researched commentary on current events that are good for us to know and share when hearing lies, propaganda, gaslighting, or misinformation. The following is from Parks’ Facebook post:

The media narrative around ICE has become emotionally charged and deliberately misleading…

You’ve heard the claims:

• “ICE is terrorizing communities”

• “ICE is targeting families”

• “ICE is acting like a rogue force”

“This administration is anti-immigration!”

You have even seen the most dramatic scenes of ICE attempting to do their job taking down individuals and of course, these scenes are shown and often published without the full context. But when you strip away the rhetoric and look at what ICE actually does, the picture is very different…

Let’s deal with facts…

WHAT ICE ACTUALLY IS …

ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is a federal law-enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security…

Its mission includes:

• enforcing immigration law

• targeting criminal networks

• removing individuals who violate federal immigration statutes

• combating human trafficking, drug trafficking, and transnational crime

ICE does not write immigration law.

ICE does not decide immigration policy.

ICE enforces laws passed by Congress.

Source: U.S. Department of Homeland Security – ICE Mission Statement (Established 2003; current mission reaffirmed in DHS public guidance, 2024–2026)

WHO ICE TARGETS (THIS MATTERS)

Contrary to media framing, ICE enforcement priorities historically focus on:

• individuals with final orders of removal

• repeat immigration violators

• individuals with criminal convictions

• gang members and transnational criminal affiliates

• those who ignore court hearings or violate release conditions

Even under administrations with broader enforcement, the majority of ICE removals involve people already flagged in the system.

Source: Congressional Research Service (CRS) – Immigration Enforcement: ICE Removal Statistics Publications: 2019–2025

“ICE IS TERRORIZING COMMUNITIES”: WHAT THE DATA SHOWS

ICE arrests occur through:

• targeted operations

• warrants or administrative removal orders

• known addresses tied to individuals already in violation of law

ICE does not conduct random street sweeps.

ICE does not arrest people based on race.

ICE does not enforce state or local laws.

Claims of “indiscriminate raids” are not supported by arrest data.

Source: ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) annual reports Publications: FY 2020–FY 2025

WHY COMMUNITIES FEEL “IMPACTED”

Here’s the uncomfortable truth the media avoids:

When immigration law is not enforced for years, enforcement later feels sudden …even when it’s lawful. The disruption isn’t caused by ICE. It’s caused by:

• years of non-enforcement

• mixed messaging from politicians

• false promises that laws wouldn’t be applied

• delayed court backlogs

Enforcing the law after ignoring it doesn’t create cruelty …it reveals policy failure.

Source: Department of Justice – Immigration Court Backlog Reports EOIR Statistics, 2022–2025

MEDIA FRAMING VS LEGAL REALITY

The media often uses emotional language like:

• “ICE stormed neighborhoods”

• “ICE ripped families apart”

• “ICE targeted communities”

But enforcement of federal law is not an “attack.”

It is the function of a sovereign nation.

Every country enforces borders.

Every country enforces residency laws.

Every country removes people who violate entry conditions.

The United States is not unique in this it is normal.

Source: OECD Migration Policy Reviews; DHS comparative border enforcement briefings. Publications: 2021–2024

COMPASSION AND LAW ARE NOT OPPOSITES

You can believe:

✔️people deserve dignity

✔️due process matters

✔️families should be treated humanely

AND still believe:

✔️laws must be enforced

✔️court orders matter

✔️borders are real

✔️enforcement isn’t optional

Those positions are not contradictory …they are foundational to any lawful society.

FINAL TRUTH

ICE didn’t create the immigration crisis.

ICE didn’t write the law.

ICE didn’t make political promises it couldn’t keep.

ICE is enforcing statutes passed by Congress statutes that still exist whether the media likes them or not.

Calling law enforcement “evil” for doing its job isn’t justice. It’s deflection.

Faith. Family. Freedom.

I, Janet Thompson, would add that calling law enforcement “evil” for doing their job is deception and demonic! As Christians, we need to pray for all law enforcement officers and their families and praise God that there are men and women who are willing to sacrifice their comfort and even their life to uphold the laws of the land.

A Word from Pastor Jack Hibbs

For Christmas, I asked for Jack Hibbs new devotional “Watching Waiting: A 40-Day End Times Devotional” because I do feel we’re in the end times. Here’s a quote from Day 8:

“In these days of deception, the need for discernment and steadfastness in the faith cannot be overstated. Believers must be vigilant against the subtle deceptions that permeate society guarding their hearts and minds with the truth of Scripture. By immersing themselves in the Word of God and deepening their relationship with Him, they can withstand the onslaught of falsehood and remain rooted in the unchanging truth of the Bible.

Know this: in these Last Days, you will see increased attacks on your thinking coming from deceiving spirits, invisible entities that will lie to you. Your only defense against spiritual deception is having Scripture embedded in your spirit. If you don’t know the Bible, you’re susceptible to deception. Remember, everything we read in Scripture has already been tested, tried, and attacked. Yet here we are reading statements made 2,000 years ago that fit perfectly with tomorrow’s news. This shows the timeless relevance of God’s Word.”

If you haven’t read last week’s Monday Morning Blog, now would be a good time. Here’s the link, Can I Have a Word with You in 2026!


But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 2 Tim. 3:1-5

I highly recommend reading this opinion article by David Marcus: Impeding Federal Law Enforcement is not protest, it’s just crime.
