14 Ways To Celebrate A Peaceful Thanksgiving When Politically Divided!

0

You may have read recently how Jimmy Kimmel’s wife, Molly McNearney who works as a producer and writer on her husband’s late-night show, admitted to being raised “in a very conservative, Republican household.” So when Trump was elected in 2016, though disappointed, she felt she could “understand it.” Regarding Trump’s second term, she’s not so understanding.

 “It hurts me so much because of the personal relationship I now have where my husband is out there fighting this man,” McNearney said on the Nov. 6 episode of “We Can Do Hard Things” podcast. “To me, them [family members] voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me and our family,” she added, revealing that she had “unfortunately … lost relationships with people in my family because of it.”

She continued in the podcast, “I’ve sent many emails to family, like right before the election saying, ‘I’m begging you. Here’s the 10 reasons not to vote for this guy. Please don’t.’ And I either got ignored by 90% of them or got truly insane responses from a few. It’s definitely caused a strain.”

“I’ve definitely pulled in closer with the family that I feel more aligned with. And I hate that this has happened, you know? It feels silly. You know, part of me goes, ‘Don’t let politics get in the way.’ But to me, this isn’t politics. It’s truly values,” she explained. “And we just were not aligned anymore.” Read more of the interview here.

Actually, in that last sentence she hit on the division that has arisen between Republicans and Democrats or progressive Democrat Socialists. It truly is opposing “values” of good versus evil.

Taking Trump out of the discussion for a moment, let’s look at the atheistic godless values on the left: sacrificially killing babies in the womb, sexually indoctrinating young children in school, sexual mutilation of children, gender confusion, open borders, men in women’s sports, men pretending they’re women, gay marriage, legalizing and accepting sexual perversion, soft on crime, defunding the police, and so many more WOKE anti-God values that Christian conservatives unequivocally cannot and should not align with.

McNearney is correct, left and right values are definitely not the same. But notice she referred to the responses she received from her conservative relatives as “insane.” While McNearney didn’t admit to Trump Derangement Syndrome, she has the symptoms when she’s letting politics not only divide her family, but essentially disowning them because they don’t agree with her. Is this making her feel any better? She admits it isn’t.

“I feel like I’m kind of in constant conflict and I’m angry all the time, which isn’t healthy at all,” McNearney continued. “But I personalize everything now. When I see these terrible stories every day, I’m immediately mad at certain aunts, uncles, cousins who put him [Trump] in power. And it’s really hard.”

She’s not alone. When political views become thicker than family ties, it’s heartbreaking and feeds into Satan’s goal of disintegrating and dismantling the family.

Last year, a liberal extended family member was surprised we were celebrating a family Thanksgiving after the election. She had heard the ludicrous propaganda that families and friends with differing political views shouldn’t celebrate Thanksgiving together?! She believed this outrageous proclamation as fact and surveys show she’s not alone. A quarter of Americans said they were canceling Thanksgiving plans over political clashes. Pathetic and tragic.

Much of the mistruths, lies, and gaslighting coming from the liberal side of the aisle work to divide friends and families instead of uniting them around the things they do agree on like loving your family and heritage regardless of political or faith beliefs. Family ties should be stronger than politics and God tells us to love those who don’t agree with us, even though we don’t always love their actions, values, or beliefs. As Christians, we don’t cut them off, we show them the love of Christ, which we definitely can’t do if we don’t still strive for a personal relationship with them. Even when our values conflict, we still show them love.

I imagine many of you are having similar concerns and conversations this Thanksgiving. I remember my mom cautioning that if you want to keep the peace, don’t talk about religion or politics. As a kid, I never understood that warning. Believers are supposed to tell everyone about Jesus. Since being a Christian is our first identity . . . how could we not talk about our Savior? Likewise, if we’re happy about political policies that align with our faith and beliefs, then we shouldn’t have to stifle our joy.

I’m bold about my first role in life: being a born-again Christian. All other roles come second. As I wrote in Forsaken God? Remembering the Goodness of God Our Culture Has Forgotten, “Bold doesn’t mean obnoxious. It simply means not being afraid to speak the truth, even in the face of adversity: ‘Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold’ (2 Cor. 3:12).”

For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. Philippians 1:20 NLT

Absolutely, we’re having another joyous Thanksgiving celebration this year with whoever is there. We have much to be thankful for beyond politics. So yes, I’ll be making my famous sweet potatoes for those who love them. And I’ll bring my legacy Thanksgiving tablecloth, which you’ll read about at the end of this article. We won’t let political or faith differences prevent us from giving praise, glory, and thanks to our Lord and Savior for another year of life together.

Daily, not just at Thanksgiving, my husband and I pray beseeching God to prepare us to be a light in the darkness . . . not to avoid the darkness because that would be the coward’s way out . . . but to help us respond as if Jesus was standing behind us speaking through us. You’ve all been in situations where it seemed like Satan was standing behind or speaking through the other person.  So how can we let Jesus reflect through us? Granted, some might not recognize Jesus . . . but they’ll see there’s something different about us.

14 Ways to Maintain Peace and Joy on Thanksgiving

As I prayed and talked to the Lord about family political and faith differences, here’s some scriptural ways to keep the peace. I’ll admit it’s not always easy and I definitely haven’t mastered them all. I’d love to hear your ideas too.

  1. Don’t worry what to say—“Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.” Mark 13:11 (Jesus was talking to his disciples if they were arrested, but I think it could apply to us too if we felt our faith or political beliefs was being tested or put on trial.)
  2. Speak kind words—“Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.” Pr. 16:24 NLT
  3. Strive for peace—“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Romans 12:18
  4. Don’t instigate or respond to antagonistic discussions—“Interfering in someone else’s argument is as foolish as yanking a dog’s ears.” Pr. 26:17 NLT
  5. Play with children present—“We will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders.” Ps. 78:4 NLT
  6. Don’t drink—“Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Ephesians 5:18 NLT
  7. Smile, Smile, Smile—“Fix my eyes on God— soon I’ll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He’s my God.” Psalm 42:5 The Message
  8. Listen—“Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to others.” Pr. 12:15 NLT
  9. Take a deep breath and think before you speak—“There is more hope for a fool than for someone who speaks without thinking.” Pr. 29:20 NLT
  10. Less is more—“The more words you speak, the less they mean. So what good are they?” Ecc. 6:11 NLT “A time to be quiet and a time to speak.” Ecc. 3:7 NLT
  11. Pray mind prayers. — “Pray continually” 1 Thess. 5:17
  12. Have a sign or word with others that signals — Change the subject if the conversation gets heated or move into another room. “Twoare better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.” Ecc. 4:9
  13. If you’re hosting—Thank God for each guest. Pray over your home and each chair at the table. Pray as you normally would at the meal, your guests know they’re coming to a Christian home. “Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling” 1 Peter 4:9
  14. If you’re a guest—As you approach the home, pray to be a blessing. If your hosts don’t pray before the meal, offer to give a blessing. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Gal. 5:22-23

Thanksgiving is a day for harmony and focusing on God. Giving Him thanks and praise in whatever way He leads. Fiction writers have a saying: “Show don’t tell.” You don’t always have to speak Jesus with your words. Show Him with your actions. People will want what you have!

Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm 100:4 NLT

I do give thanks for each of you who follow me on this Monday Morning Blog. I pray you have a joyful, peaceful, and God-filled Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Legacy Tablecloth Idea

In Forsaken God? Remembering the Goodness of God Our Culture Has Forgotten, I share how to use your Thanksgiving tablecloth as a conversation piece and a way to make memories for generations to come. Here’s an excerpt from the book. I hope it gives you some ideas. I’ll be taking our Thankful Tablecloth with us this Thanksgiving to my daughter’s house. My grandchildren love to look back at their tiny handprints and drawings when they were toddlers and the comments written over twenty-three years.

When my breast cancer journey started, I became keenly aware of making memories with my family. At times like that, you think seriously about your mortality and the legacy you want to leave with your loved ones. You appreciate each new day of life. The sun rising every morning is an act of God to celebrate.

Holidays like Thanksgiving have new meaning. Typically, Thanksgiving is a celebration where family and friends gather for a feast, and everyone says what they’re thankful for in the past year. But after finishing the dishes and putting away the leftovers, how many really remember what everyone said?

The Thanksgiving following my first breast cancer surgery in 2002, I had an idea of a Thankful Tablecloth. I purchased a Thanksgiving themed tablecloth with plenty of white space and a box of wash-resistant colored markers. After Thanksgiving dinner, I brought out the markers and asked everyone—kids included—to find a spot on the tablecloth to write what they were thankful for that year, sign, and date it. We traced handprints for the tiny ones with their name and age.

Today, we have years of thankful messages to read every Thanksgiving and remember the many acts of God’s goodness to us and the people who joined us at the celebration table each year. If we go to someone’s house for Thanksgiving dinner, I ask if I can bring our Thankful Tablecloth and markers. When I go to be with the Lord, I pray my family will continue bringing out the Thanksgiving Tablecloth as a reminder through the generations of how good God has been to our family and friends.

Only Jesus Can Keep America the Land of the Free!

9

Many Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964) like me, and possibly your Generation X children (born 1965-1980), are in shock that a “Democratic Socialist” with a Marxist/Communist/Islamic platform was elected as mayor of New York City, the financial hub and iconic powerhouse of not only America but the world!

So many things wrong with this that it’s hard to know where to start. But I believe this happened because one generation didn’t pass down to the next generation the historical horrors of socialism, Marxism, and communism along with the political and spiritual ambitions of Islam to wipe out Christianity and become the dominating government and religion in America and the world. The Islamic plan is that progressive liberals and the Democratic Socialist party will destroy our nation and then Islam comes in to devour it.

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8

I can still remember having drills in grammar school during the Cold War where we had to hide under our desk in case communist Russia attacked the United States. Since many of my classmates and I lived in the neighborhood where the school was located, we often had drills parading down the streets with a teacher leading us to our homes. We knew the dangers of communist dictators and we knew how fortunate we were to live in the free United States of America.

We lived through President Reagan’s call for the fall of the Berlin Wall separating oppressed communist East Germany from free West Germany and the fall of the Soviet Union.

We learned that communism is based on Marxism, a political and economic theory developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Marxism provides the theoretical foundation for communism, a political ideology advocating for a classless society and common ownership of the means of production, the abolition of private property, centralized control of the economy and the establishment of a dictatorship of the proletariat while destroying the nuclear family. We learned how to contrast that with the freedom of the American Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights with an elected government and not a dictatorship that took away all your rights. We learned to value our God, family, freedom, and the American flag.

Fascism is another system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, an economy subject to stringent governmental controls, and violent suppression of the opposition.

We also learned about Nazism, another form of dictatorship and domination of the population, that hated the Jews and the tragedy of the Holocaust. I can still see those black and white movies we watched in class.

When people who obviously don’t know what they’re talking about throw around slurs of calling people Hitler, fascist, dictator, and racist their ignorance of the meaning of those terms is alarming, especially when they’re often actually describing themselves! Anti-Semite college students praising Hamas terrorists and calling their political opposition Hitler are acting like Nazi’s themselves hating and terrorizing fellow Jewish students.

Liberal progressive teachers and professors who hate the country that’s given them so much have overtaken our education system in America. Many are indoctrinating children with lies and propaganda rather than teaching them the truth and facts about history and why we’re so blessed to live in America and not a socialist or oppressive dictatorship.

The enemy always goes after children because they become the future. Just like Palestinian children being taught to hate Israelite children, North Korea and China indoctrinating and training their children from an early age to hate the west. Sadly, instead of American children being taught to love America and God, they’re being filled with hate for their own county and their own bodies.

Exit polls reveal that Mamdani was elected by LGBTQ,  immigrants less than five years in America, and 70%-80% of the voters were under 30, especially women. The younger voters were either not born yet or too young to remember September 11, 2001 when Islamist terrorists flew two airplanes into the Twin Towers in New York City and one into the Pentagon. The fourth plane’s passengers overtook the terrorists and crashed the plane into a field killing everyone. Who can forget Todd Beamer’s “Let’s Roll”? Or maybe some did forget.

3000 people were killed on 911 and many first responders have since died from the exposure to fire and smoke. Those of us old enough to remember said we would never forget. New York City, the home of Ground Zero, did forget. They didn’t pass down the horrors of that day to the next generation.

After the failed attempt to destroy America from the outside, twenty-four years later, the attack is coming from the inside.

For clarification: Islam is the religion, while a Muslim is a person who follows that religion. In other words, Islam refers to the belief system supported by the Quran, and Muslims are the adherents of that belief. Islam is the world’s fastest growing religion with 1 in 4 people identifying as Muslim. You read that right. Not Christian!

Not every Muslim is militant, but every Muslim needs Jesus! If they live in America, they need to respect our constitutional law, NOT Sharia law, which has been tried in Minnesota and Texas already.

To hear militant Islamists’ ultimate plans, listen to this reel. The Muslim Brotherhood Leaders say they will push Sharia law in America “By Ballot or Bullet.” They’ve been saying this for a long time. First, they’ll get into Congress, then into schools, then state government all of which they’ve done, and ultimately Federal government. Islamist goals are to destroy America, as we know it and replace God with Allah. That’s not Islamophobia, that’s just quoting them!!

You say it will never happen?! It’s happening right now in the Democrat party with Socialists like AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, or “Democratic Socialists” Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani. Many Democrats endorsed Mamdani. Democrats are ripe for Islamic communist takeover as they move further and further to the radical progressive left championing the breakdown of the family, gender confusion, murder of babies, men in women’s sports, defunding the police, soft on crime, invasion of illegals who don’t assimilate but agitate.

In the November 4th election, there were 76 Muslim candidates and thirty-eight were elected. That should set off alarm bells for anyone who understands history and that America was founded on Judeo/Christian beliefs incompatible with Islam.

Why did the Islamist wait twenty-four years to attack New York City again? Because they needed an inexperienced generation who maybe never learned about 911 or an older generation who forgot.

Did all those under 30 voters who voted for 34-year-old Mamdani, including the young women enamored with the charismatic candidate, never learn in school about the financial downfall of countries ruled by Marxist communism? For those who love to go into the streets calling Conservatives “fascist,” did they never learn that communism only works under a real dictator where the people have no rights not given to them by the government? That the government controls your life? That they would never be able to protest or even vote in a dictatorship?

Recently, Democrat Minnesota Gov. Walz slipped and said the quiet part out loud, “Our rights come from the government.” Had Walz and Harris won, that would’ve been their administration’s goal. Walz’s statement describes socialism and communism, not America freedom founded on the belief that our rights come from God. Yet, in Mamdani’s fiery angry acceptance speech as the mayor of an American city, he said something similar to Walz, “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.”

If you listen to the next mayor of NYC, he clearly said he hates capitalism and no one should own private property, only the government. As he promised free childcare, free food, free busses free free free . . . every sane person not mesmerized by him knows nothing is free. Someone always pays. It won’t all be paid for by taxing the rich who already pay half the taxes in NYC. Many wealthy business owners will just leave. Then who is going to pay for all the free stuff? And who would trust their child to government care?

Didn’t those young NYC voters hear about Venezuela or Cuba in school? Was communism and socialism glamorized? Were they taught to love America the free or to hate their country that offers an opportunity for ingenuity and prosperity to anyone willing to work and participate in this great Republic? Were they taught in school to hate God and biblical principles and values? What were they taught at home?

Millions of people want to come to America because of our freedoms and our rights as American citizens. If you work hard and save, you can have a good life, maybe even a great life. Freedom is never free!

Jesus Is THE ONLY Hope For the Next Generation and America

I highly recommend listening to Pastor Martin Sedra in this sermon on YouTube “Charlie Warned Us About Islam” where he talks about the Islamisation of the West. He says Muslims come to America or any country to establish Sharia Law. Like Mamdani, they smile and try to engage everyone, even the infidel Christians, Jews, and LGBTQ until they gain power and then they flip. The very next day after Mamdani’s revealing acceptance speech, he put out a video asking for donations and then took off to a luxury resort. By the way he charged his campaign workers on election night $13.00 a beer. No free beer with Mamdani!

Charlie Kirk could see the radicalization and indoctrination of the next generation, like the young man who shot him. Charlie wanted to reach college age and high school students with patriotism and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that, they killed him. And what did the liberal left do? They celebrated Charlie’s assassination.

As happens with martyrs like Charlie, often the cause they died for multiplies tenfold upon their death. The shot that killed Charlie was heard around the world. Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow, is going to carry on Charlie’s vision and TPUSA chapters on college campuses and in high schools have exploded in number.

We need to praise God for this and pray for the next generation, the future of America. When I hear of a TPUSA event like the 10,000 students that stood out in the rain at Ole Miss University to hear Erika and VP JD Vance, I praise God. It was so encouraging and inspiring to see all those kids seeking the truth of Jesus Christ and learning how to live out Christian conservative biblical values. I encourage you to watch one of these events or even attend one.

Erika said in an interview that she thinks if Charlie could look down from heaven and see all these kids getting involved with TPUSA spurred on by his death and Jesus asked him if he wanted to come back to earth, Charlie would say no. Jesus changing lives was Charlie’s mission and his vision. Let’s hope and pray our country is saved by Jesus through the next generation who love their country, but most importantly love Jesus!

The Lord warned us to educate the next generation in the Gospel and Truth. Unfortunately, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube have educated our next generations. But there’s a bright light of young Christians using social media to reach their generation in a positive way.

The Helms Triplets are three 18-year-old brothers whose parents didn’t let them have social media until they were seventeen. The boys wanted to share Jesus with their classmates and so they made a video on their mom’s phone sharing the gospel and Jesus. The next morning that video had over a hundred thousand views. So they decided to continue on their mom’s phone for six months then they moved their video presentations to their own phones, but that original video has now had over 3 million views!

Their names are Gage, Kaden, and Till Helms. Hearing them share their faith, which hubby and I heard on Flashpoint and Fox & Friends, was so refreshing. Listen to an interview on CBN with them here. God is using these young men in a mighty way. You can find them on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. I encourage you to tell your kids and grandkids about them @3N1Trilogy.

Pastor Jack Hibbs @ Calvary Chapel Chino Hills California held a prophecy conference on the Book of Daniel for high school and college age students with 1000 kids in attendance last weekend. Go Pastor Jack! I hope more pastors do the same.

Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power. Ps. 145:4

Hear this, you leaders of the people. Listen, all who live in the land. In all your history, has anything like this happened before? Tell your children about it in the years to come, and let your children tell their children. Pass the story down from generation to generation. Joel 1:2-3

And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. 7 Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. 8 Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. Deut. 6:6-9

Note: Our church supports Frontiers Ministry, which brings the Good News of Jesus Christ to Muslim countries.

A book recommendation is Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity, the story of Nabeel Qureshi’s dramatic journey from a committed Muslim upbringing to embracing Christianity.

When The Law Becomes Political Instead of Justice

7

Many of us grew up in an era that we may never again see. A time when there was respect and appreciation for law enforcement and judges ruled by the judicial law and Constitution, not personal beliefs or political activism.

Sadly, just like in the Book of Judges in the Bible, we’re now living in a time of good judges and bad judges. We’ve watched lawfare used as a political weapon that really became apparent during the 2020 election when anyone who questioned the validity of that election, like My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, were politically and judicially unfairly persecuted and even prosecuted. Mike is still fighting cases against him in court.

Thousands of people who merely attended January 6th or maybe just stepped inside the Capitol or on the lawn became political prisoners by the Biden Administration with harsh unjust sentences and abhorrent conditions in jail. Even grandmothers were jailed for praying on the grounds that day or for praying in front of abortion centers.

The Biden Department of Justice lied to Americans for four years insisting that the border was closed while 20+ million illegals and criminals flooded our country with no attempt to vet them or stop them. Unjust liberal partisan judges looked the other way and refused to impose federal law to close the border.

Then we saw unprecedented Democrat fueled lawfare against their political opponent Donald Trump. Cases were fabricated against him during the 2024 campaign to either imprison him or drain his funds. But in spite of this injustice, President Trump managed to win all the cases and achieve victory with both the popular and electoral presidential vote. Everything backfired on the partisan judges, DA’s, and liberal prosecutors.

But the Democrats weren’t through trying to stop Trump and his agenda to Make America Great Again. On PBS March 25, 2025, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer acknowledged that Democrats intentionally implemented a court stacking strategy with the explicit aim of ruling against and countering President Donald Trump’s agenda. “The good news here is,” Schumer said, “we did put 235 judges—progressive judges, judges not under the control of Trump—last year on the bench, and they are ruling against Trump time after time after time.” Political partisan lawfare!

True to Schumer’s devious plan, every executive order or policy President Trump tried to enforce to protect and prosper America, the desperate Democrats found one of those activist progressive Democrat appointed judges, mostly in five liberal districts out of the nation’s 94 federal district courts, who were willing to go against his or her oath to uphold the law and instead try to politically block the Trump Administration with universal injunctions. Laying bare the Left’s strategy of political lawfare. 40 nationwide injunctions have been filed in just the first six months of this administration, already more than previous presidents incurred in their entire terms!

Senator from Louisiana, John Kennedy, put this all into perspective in one of his classic soundbites that burn. “Anybody who knows a law book from an L. L. Bean catalog knows that federal judges just made up the concept of universal injunctions to block President Trump’s agenda. If you disagree with a President or Congress, fill out a hurt feelings report—but you can’t put their actions on hold because you don’t like them.”

Again, the Democrats are guilty of using illegal and unfair lawfare to stop President Trump from fulfilling his promises to the American people. Fighting these rogue judges trying to be Kings of America from their tiny district courts wasted tons of money and lawyers time to fight for justice instead of being able to spend that money and expertise to enforce what we the people voted for in our country.

Then Victory!

The Book of Judges recounts the period in Israel’s history that highlights a cycle of disobedient, oppression by enemies and devious judges and deliverance by judges raised up by God. Key themes include good and failed leaderships, faithfulness versus apostasy, rebellion overcome by God’s sovereignty. Sounds a lot like today doesn’t it.

How do Judges “raised up by God” rule? Well, they set aside personal ambitions, beliefs, and politics to rule by following God’s laws and the government’s laws. In the case of the Supreme Court, they take an oath to make rulings according to the Constitution.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say for the most part the six “constitutionalist” Supreme Court Justices are the only ones out of the nine on the bench that adhere to their judicial oath, honesty, and nonpartisanship. There are times when they disagree and will even side with the liberal judge’s view, something the three liberal judges seldom or NEVER will do.

I don’t think anyone can deny the three liberal SCOTUS justices rule primarily together based on political, progressive social ideology, and Democrat persuasion and activism. If the numbers were reversed and there were only three conservative judges, we’d be living in the time of the Book of Judges where everyone did what was right in their own eyes. (Judges 21:25) Sadly, in Democrat controlled cities and states that verse describes the exact chaos and destruction we see today.

Praise God, last week SCOTUS ruled 6 to 3 “that the universal injunctions that U.S. district courts in each case hit the administration with, blocking implementation, ‘likely exceeds the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts.’” In other words, local and federal district courts can’t rule over the entire nation. District judges issuing injunctions that affect the entire nation are overstepping their authority.

What’s notable here is the 3 Democrat Justices who voted against U.S. law that district judges are limited to the jurisdiction of their particular court display their own hypocrisy and addiction to lawfare.

Those three liberal Justices voted in favor of illegal lawfare. Even though, some of them have spoken out against nationwide injunctions in the past, including Justice Elena Kagan. Speaking on a panel at Northwestern University School of Law in 2022, Justice Kagan condemned “forum shopping” based on who’s the sitting U.S. President: ‘In the Trump years, people used to go to the Northern District of California, and in the Biden years, they go to Texas. It just can’t be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks.’” Yet, last week, she voted in favor of district judges making nationwide injunctions?!

Justice Amy Coney Barrett was appalled at Justice Jackson’s ridiculous argument that skipped analysis of relevant readings because they involved “boring ‘legalese.’” Since Jackson showed her obvious ignorance of American law prohibiting rogue state judges from ruling over the nation, Barrett wrote in her own argument: “We will not dwell on Justice Jackson’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself . . . she decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary!”

A well-deserved dress down of a truly illiterate activist Justice who you might recall could not define what a woman was in her confirmation hearings. Sadly, even with her biased incompetence, and dare I say DEI and maybe autopen hire, she may be on the court for a long time.

While we don’t personally vote for the Supreme Court Justices, we do vote for the Presidents who pick them. Had President Trump not appointed three conservative Constitutional Justices in his first term, as I said earlier, our country would be a far different place.

Not only did the three liberal judges dissent against restricting district liberal partisan judges from trying to rule the country, they also voted against letting parents protect their children from LGBTQ propaganda in school and against protecting children from pornography!

What Does the Bible Say to Us About Justice?

There is a legitimate concern for justice in our world today. However, to achieve justice for the world, we must better understand how God views it. God is merciful but Scripture also tells us that He is a just God who will judge injustice and wrongs. God sees hearts and minds and will judge all men and women.

The Bible emphasizes that justice is a fundamental aspect of God’s character, calling believers to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8). It teaches that God will judge both the righteous and the wicked and encourages followers to seek justice and care for the vulnerable (Isaiah 1:17, Romans 12:19). Here are some other verses where God speaks of His justice.

 I said to myself, “God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.” Ecc. 3:17

For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” Heb. 10:30

When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers. Pr. 21:15

Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,” will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations. But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them. Pr. 24:24-25

Evildoers do not understand what is right, but those who seek the LORD understand it fully. Pr. 28:5

Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. Rom. 12:19

A handful of activist judges should never have the power to shut down a presidency OR silence the will of the American people.

 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! Amos 5:24

Where God is Barred, That Place is Cursed!

8

I can’t pinpoint exactly when profanity and cursing escaped from battlefields and pool halls to slither into the halls of Washington D.C. where Democrat Senators and Congress members are swearing like sailors. How did everyday discourse and debate become coarse and vulgar?

I can still remember when potty mouth was pretty much only uttered by men and never in front of women or children. If someone let a curse word slip out in a mixed group, someone else would reprimand, “Not in front of the ladies.” Or “Not in front of the kids.”

Today, profanity peppers men’s, women’s, and even tragically children’s everyday language. Sadly, not many people seem as shocked or offended as I am. Call me old fashioned, call me a prude, but don’t curse around me. I don’t tolerate cursing. I’m not afraid to ask someone at the gym or anywhere to please stop with the profanity. A request like that at one time would’ve been honored with an apology but not anymore, especially on social media where people are rude, crude, vulgar, and godless. Yet, under the Biden Administration, any mention of God, Jesus, or Scripture was often censored.

We have a neighborhood community Facebook page where a neighbor I don’t know used the F-bomb in a comment. I politely replied, “Please watch language on this community page.” To which he responded, “No.” Unapologetic. Belligerent. Entitled. That’s usually the temperament and personality of someone who thinks public cursing is freedom of speech. Or maybe they don’t have a wide enough vocabulary to come up with inoffensive descriptive words. Cursing is lazy brain.

That “F” word is slander for fornication and NEVER appropriate anywhere by anyone! Yet, it’s become so normalized that people use it freely and feel entitled and unashamed. It’s not just men. I recently saw a woman use it on Facebook to describe our President. If you listen to on-the-street interviews or podcasts on television, it’s a series of bleeps because for now anyway, public television and radio decency standards prohibit cursing.

Why do so many young people curse? Because they hear it everywhere, maybe even from parents at home.

So is it any wonder that the Democrats, men and women, in a wild desperate attempt to be relevant to everyday Americans have tried singing, screaming, dancing, and cursing. First, they stood in front of the Capitol and took turns unintelligently screaming the F-bomb. A woman senator from Oregon even said she didn’t use that word and then blurted it out like a badge of honor, while saying don’t tell my children (who are college age). Like they’re not going to hear about their mother swearing the F bomb into the TV camera?!

Then Democrats did a mosaic video all in their zoom boxes saying the exact same script with the mandatory curse word printed in capitals with ** between the first and last letter. I doubt many people found that relatable or convincing, even though they might speak like that themselves. We used to expect a certain amount of decorum and respectability from government officials, but not anymore. The Democrats seem to be seeing how low in the slimy gutter they can go while acting and sounding like crude thugs or children throwing a temper tantrum.

The left has no policies popular with the majority of the American public so they think that using profanity will make them more relevant, “faux edgy authentic.” Sen. Schumer in an interview on television called Republicans, “Bastards.” Sen. Mark Kelly (AZ) called Elon Musk on television “A** hole.” Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) spews the F-bomb regularly. Cringe! Crude! Crass!

Democrat leadership is actually hiring influencers telling them they need to use profanity. Do anything. Say anything. They hired “comedienne” (I use the term loosely) Suzanne Lambert as a consultant to tutor them on how to keep it real. Her advice was “Be meaner.”

So, at the President’s Joint Session of Congress Speech, not standing or clapping for mothers whose daughters were killed by illegal aliens, a young man whose policeman father was killed, a young woman injured by a trans man invading women’s sports, and widows of fallen policemen wasn’t mean enough. They sat on their hands for a child with brain cancer then later offered the child’s dad money to stop supporting President Trump. DJ and his family also became the targets of harassing phone calls using venomous language and online attacks.

Cold-hearted. Beyond mean. Wicked. Evil.

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. Luke 6:45
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Eph. 4:29

The Bible even calls listening to vulgar language a sin. A wicked person listens to deceitful lips; a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue. Pr. 17:4

James is saying this to believers. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. James 3:10

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. Eph. 5:3-4

What does all this liberal left evil demonic foul venomous language and meanness lead to? More evil. Bullying. Violence. Destruction. I fear even death as we watched two failed attempts at President Trump’s life and Elon Musk has received numerous death threats.

Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. Rom. 1:28

When godless words are full of hate, profanity, and vulgarity, the next expression is more of the same until they act out their rage through violence. The Democrats have already resorted to violence.

  • Calling it “healthcare” when innocent babies are violently torn apart, poisoned, and murdered.
  • Abandoning 300,000 lost children who came unaccompanied across the open border.
  • Offering sanctuary to violent illegal criminals.
  • Leaving the homeless, drug addicted, and veterans on the street.
  • Championing children to be violently sterilized and mutilated with a false lie they could do the impossible and change their gender.
  • Defending crossdressing men impersonating women and abusively hurting and competing in women’s sports.
  • Weaponizing the Justice Department against their political opponent.
  • Paying violent activists to wear identical shirts, hold professional signs, and hand out flyers promoting terrorists and antisemitism.
  • Encouraging violent destruction of Tesla dealerships and burning charging stations. Hypocritically, during the previous Democrat administration, they insisted everyone switch to Tesla for the “environment” until Elon Musk started revealing corruption and paybacks in government. Now, they curse him. The Democrats are denouncing their own purchase of a Tesla and not one of them has denounced the terrorism and violent assaults against Tesla dealerships, Tesla owners, and death threats to Elon Musk.
  • Swatting Conservative influencers by falsely telling police there’s a crime at the influencer’s home in hopes the police will mistakenly shoot the influencer and his family dead.
  • Paying protesters at Republican townhalls to yell, scream, and protest creating a dangerous environment. It wasn’t that long ago that a crazed Bernie Sander’s follower tried to kill Republican Congressmen and Senators at a baseball practice.
  • Bernie Sanders recently held a rally that opened with a crossdresser singing a profane song blaspheming Jesus. It’s difficult to get more evil than that!

Yes, a godless political party does evil very well.

The world can’t hate you, but it does hate me because I [Jesus] accuse it of doing evil. John 7:7

One sin leads to another sin leads to another sin as we watch the demise and curse of the Democrat Party that has barred God from their platform. Americans clearly said in the last election that we don’t want a country governed by hateful, crude, mean, yelling, screaming, violent, corrupt, godless bureaucrats. We want the America many of us grew up in where people understood “In God We Trust!”

How Did It Get This Bad and What’s Our Role as Christians in a Culture Barring God?

The title of this blog, “Where God is Barred, That Place is Cursed,” came from a comment I heard from Pastor John Amanchukwu on Flashpoint. It’s applicable to the Democrat party now and might’ve been the demise of America if the Dems stayed in power. Power is their god.

I encourage you to follow Pastor Amanchukwu at IKnowGod.us. He’s been going to school board meetings around the nation speaking against the obscene sexually perverted books in schools. He also has a video 22 WordsFilm.com tracking our culture since God, prayer, and the Bible were barred from schools in 1962. Those rulings have contributed to a decline in societal values, marked by rising divorce rates, teenage pregnancy, suicide, violent crime, the growing acceptance of pornographic content and LGBTQIA+ agendas in schools.

Today, we see the godless Democrat party overtaken with meanness, profanity, and violence. And I’m not saying the Republican Party is above reproach either, but for the most part they haven’t resorted to unscrupulous behavior and many of them strive to honor God. Those who don’t, we should primary out. Both parties allowed our country and thus our schools to go from . . .

  • Prayer to porn
  • Prayer to trans
  • Prayer to racism
  • Prayer to critical race theory
  • Prayer to cursing
  • Prayer to corruption
  • Prayer to hate
  • Prayer to violence

Just this morning, I was praying with Pastor Jack Hibbs on his daily Facebook Scripture prayer group and the verse we prayed was 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

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

After we prayed, Pastor Hibbs pointed out that Christians have the blessing of looking at the culture with discernment and not deception. We see the darkness and we’re not consumed by it. We know that we’re the light. Although it is distressful watching so many people buying into the enemy’s lies. It’s usually not productive to reason with them because just like the screaming cursing Democrats, they will defend and deny. But what we can do is pray for them and get involved however God leads, whether it’s at school board or council meetings, speaking out in church or your community, and voting for biblical values.

Romans 12:1-2 The Message tells us what we must do personally.

God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Eph. 5:8-14

Pray For President Trump

President Trump, who does on occasion use profanity, has been working hard to omit it from his speaking after Rev. Franklin Graham complimented him on his rallies but said they would be so much better if he didn’t curse. President Trump has humbly admitted this conversation with Franklin and even said recently that the First Lady had asked him to stop. He’s said that sometimes there’s just not another word to express what he’s trying to convey, but he’s an intelligent man and he’s doing well in cleaning up his language. He’s a forgiven sinner like all of us so pray for him.

President Trump also wants to make America great again, but the key to making it great is to recognize that God makes and breaks nations. I think President Trump realizes this as he’s said he knows God spared his life to make America great again. So, we can pray that he’s listening to God and the advice of godly people. God blesses or curses nations as they protect and promote His Gospel and the church.

For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined. Is. 60:12

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.” Ps. 33:12

For dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations. Ps. 22:28

Did You Even Know March is Women’s History Month?

4

I have to admit, until I was asked by Crosswalk to write an article on 4 Ways Christians Can Celebrate Women’s International Day on Saturday March 8, I had never heard of Women’s History Month. The media and liberals make a big deal about Black History Month in February, but why don’t we hear anything about Women’s History Month in March? Maybe that’s because it conflicts with “Bisexual Health Awareness Month” also in March. We do need to stop and pray for women all over the world especially right now in the Democratic Republic of Congo described as “hell on earth” with killing and raping of women and killing of Christians.

Women are vulnerable in all countries. Yes, even in America. While we have more freedom and rights than women in Afghanistan or the Congo do, we’re rapidly losing some of those freedoms. However, thankfully President Trump is aware of this loss and recognized Women’s History Month by signing an Executive Order proclamation declaring March 2025 as Women’s History Month! President Trump has many capable and highly qualified women in his Administration. As he signed the EO he said, “This is an honor.”

Most people have forgotten that Women’s History Month began in 1987, but it hasn’t been recognized or acknowledged during the left’s current war on women until President Trump! Thank you, Mr. President.

Women have a history of fighting for equality and constitutional rights in our country. Suffragists fought for women’s right to vote, and a constant battle continues for women to be treated fairly and equally in jobs and careers. But who would’ve ever imagined that in the 21st Century women would be fighting to defend and protect our very existence and definition of a woman?! Or maintaining Title IX to keep women’s sports exclusive to women? We’re going backward in history instead of forward.

The Biden administration promoted and favored a tiny fraction of men suffering from gender dysphoria, or have a perverted fetish, or are so mentally ill they want to use their body to abuse women in sports. We now live in a world where President Trump had to write another executive order “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” to demolish the left’s obsession with perversion of God’s creation.

President Trump legally mandated that the Federal Government only recognizes what God biblically mandated at creation: there are only two sexes–male and female. The executive order also explicitly states, “sex is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of ‘gender ideology.’” 

What we’ve all known and lived by for years that gender is not fluid has been satanically distorted by diabolical political ideology from Democrats and their propaganda arm of the mainstream media. CNN hosts say about the executive orders that, “unnamed scientists, critics oppose ‘new definitions’ of male, female.” They aren’t new definitions; they’re God’s definitions since the beginning of time. He created them male and female, and he blessed them and called them “human.” Gen. 5:2

Then at President Trump’s Speech to Joint Session of Congress, we saw the Democrats, including the women and crossdresser Tim McBride (D-Del) dressed in pink, set on their hands with stone faces when President Trump honored Payton McNabb. Payton was a member of the Hiwassee Dam High School girls’ volleyball team in Cherokee County, NC, until a male crossdresser playing for Highlands High School cut her dreams down in September 2022. The male Highlands player, who towered over his female opponents at 5’11,” spiked the ball into McNabb’s face, leaving the then 17-year-old unconscious with a brain bleed, concussion, and permanent whiplash. Payton has brain damage, vision issues, and paralysis on her right side—injuries that prevented her from pursuing her dream of securing a volleyball college scholarship.

Payton has turned a terrible tragedy into a purpose by working hard in recent years to ensure that other women and girls don’t have their dreams similarly stolen and smashed by opportunistic men emboldened by Democrat-championed policies.

After explaining Payton’s harrowing life changing experience by a male, President Trump told McNabb, “From now on, schools will kick the men off the girls’ team, or they will lose all federal funding.” He added that the inclusion of men in women’s sports is “demeaning for women, and it’s very bad for our country. We’re not going to put up with it any longer.”

Yet, the very day before President Trump’s speech, EVERY Democrat Senator voted against moving forward a bill that would codify President Trump’s Executive Order “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” It had already passed the House with all Republicans voting for it and all but two Democrats voting against it, even though a supermajority of all Americans—Democrat and Republican—want men out of women’s sports. Yet, a number of Democrat governors, even women governors, are defying President Trump’s executive order and continue to let vulnerable girls be abused by men in women’s sports.

Not only is keeping women’s sports exclusively for women common sense, it’s moral, ethical, and biblical to protect women from this invasion of cowardly, sick, and pathetic men into women’s sports, locker rooms, and private spaces.

God made men stronger with prowess to protect women, not abuse them. Everyone knows a man is physically and biologically stronger, faster, and can physically outperform a woman. Every man that cross-dresses knows that too, and so should every Congress man/woman, Senator, Governor, State Legislator, School Superintendent, Coach, parents, and doctors!

The Democrats, including pink ladies, not only didn’t stand for Payton McNabb, but they also didn’t stand for Laken Riley or Jocelyn Nungaray, both tortured, raped, and killed by illegal alien men the Biden administration and Democrats let into our country!

A Note to Parents

Parents I feel for you. Kids going through puberty do and say crazy things. We all went through it. As hard as it is, parents need to be parents. Kids have learned through TikTok and other social media that all they have to say is that they’re going to kill themselves to get their scared parents to comply. Sadly, kids during puberty are confused and try experimental things. They may start drinking, smoking, cutting, or even turn to drugs. Many times, they want to do shocking things to get attention. Gender ideology has become so prevalent in the past few years because it’s promoted in schools, on social media, the culture, in politics, the media, and peer pressure. It’s become a fad.

It used to be that drag shows were not allowed in public and those who participated were considered what they are, perverted. But suddenly a self-described gay activist Marxist is head of the National Library Association and drag story hour is offered to small impressionable children whose parents take them?!

The gay/trans population is small, but they have a large vocal activist lobby in D.C. and they’re going after the children. Successfully, I might add. Romans 1:10-32, 1 Cor. 6:9-10, and 1 Tim. 1:9-11 provide God’s view of this perversion. Parents’ job is to protect their children from it! The only anecdote is Jesus in their lives. Attempting to do the impossible, change your gender, is NOT normal, mentally or physically healthy, or productive. What the children need is a change of heart and mind.

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. Pr. 22:6

Sadly, unethical doctors have learned how to do sexual mutilation surgeries and give castrating drugs that make them lots of money. Once you start a precious child down that road, they’ll be a patient for life. Just the words “Puberty Blocker” is a red flag. Our bodies were created to go through puberty. It’s a physical maturing process for both men and women. Trying to stop it plays havoc on a child’s body, emotions, and brain.

They’re not happier after this unethical medical intervention. Look at the numbers of trans who have shot up schools and got themselves killed. The Biden Administration and the media tried to hide this to the detriment of children and parents. Kids aren’t experimentation projects. No one knows the long-term effects of the drugs and doctors downplay the immediate effects. But we do know they have side effects of aggression, anger, depression, violence, and self-destruction.

No mentally healthy male wants to put on girls’ clothes and pretend he’s a girl or vice versa with girls wanting to be boys. These kids need Christian psychological and pastoral help not the indoctrination they’re getting in schools and on social media. Usually, something traumatic has happened in their life and they’re acting out in a way that has now become socially acceptable and even tragically encouraged. We’re seeing a generation of confused children not happy in their own body, and it’s being culturally motivated and promoted by Satan. It’s a demonic lie that you can change gender. You can’t.

If a child says he or she wants to be a horse and run in a horse race, we wouldn’t take them to a veterinarian to start turning them into a horse and enter them into races. That isn’t any more ridiculous than letting boys/men cross-dress and enter into girls’ /women’s sports. In both scenarios, they need to go to a well-researched child psychologist or treatment center, preferably a Christian one. Some of these boys didn’t do well when they participated in men’s sports, so they decide to “identify” as women to play in women’s sports where they take away dreams, trophies, scholarships, and even cause great harm to girls. It’s wrong on every level!

Just like you wouldn’t encourage kids that are on drugs to become addicted for life, trying to change their identity is just another addiction and needs the same kind of therapy and treatment. I don’t know why more people aren’t speaking out about this. Maybe fear. Listen to a detransition interview or whistleblower Dr. Ethan Haim who almost went to prison under the Biden Administration for exposing transgender surgeries at Texas Children’s Hospital after they claimed to have stopped. (Trump’s DOJ dropped all charges against Haim in January 2025).

The detransitioned children say doctors didn’t give their parents any other option but drugs and/or surgeries to try and do the impossible of changing gender when all it does is castrate and sterilize them for life. The doctors didn’t offer counseling or psychological help to work through the issues. They instead scare parents with threats their child will commit suicide, but sadly many who go the attempted “transition” route tragically do just that.

Statistics show higher suicide numbers for kids and adults given puberty blockers or mutilation surgery to try to achieve a biological lie that they can change their gender. Trans surgeries increase risk of mental health conditions, suicidal ideations study | Fox News

What Can We Do to Help Women?

I believe the left’s obsession with favoring crossdressing men invading girls’ sports is because they’ve abandoned a biblical worldview. They’ve abandoned God. They’ve embraced the lie of the enemy and ruler of this worldly culture, Satan. The only hope for them is to repent and run to Jesus for forgiveness and turn away from the lobbyists, doctors, drug companies, organizations, activists, and any wealth they may be receiving from this insanity.

We need to vote the Democrats out of office because their lack of respect for women isn’t their only demon. They want to kill baby boys and girls up through and after birth. They want illegals to roam free in our communities and rob, pillage, rape, and kill girls and women.

It’s the party that’s obsessed with hate for President Donald Trump. Hate causes hearts to turn stone cold. Look at their faces during Donald Trump’s speech and I’m sure you’ll agree they’ve lost their minds and their hearts to the evil one. They’re an embarrassment to everything America stands for and they’ve abandoned women.

Run for office if God leads you. Write articles in your local paper. Speak up for women! Whatever you do, don’t sit quietly by and let them get control again of our beautiful America. Pray for God’s wisdom and guidance of what He wants for you to do in your family and your country.

I hope you’ll also read my article “God Knows What a Woman Is!”

Make America And You Healthy Again!

3

I’ve been rooting and praying for all of President Trump’s cabinet picks, but one I especially was excited to see pass all the Senate scrutiny and interrogation and eventually be confirmed was Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also known as RFK Jr. Even when he was running for president as a Democrat, I enjoyed hearing him talk about his goal of researching the cause of chronic illnesses, especially in children, and his stumping for eating real food, avoiding processed food, and investigating the additives in our food. The Democrats tried to prevent him from being on the ballot, denied him Secret Service protection, and were so mean to one of their own, I knew he must have some good qualities if they were that against him.

RFK Jr. ended his presidential campaign and is now the head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. While I don’t agree with some of his political views, I’m completely onboard with him joining President Trump’s team to Make America Healthy Again, otherwise known as MAHA.

My MAHA Story!

First, a little of my history and explanation of why I’m so excited to be a “MAHA Mom.” Actually, I was a MAHA Mom, MAHA Wife, and now MAHA Grammie, long before there was MAHA!

My first career out of college was as a hospital clinical Registered Dietitian. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Food Administration, a one-year internship at the Santa Monica VA Hospital and UCLA, passed a grueling registration test, and maintained a continuing education requirement for many years.

I was naive when I entered the nutrition field back in the early 70’s. I was going to be the Florence Nightingale of Dietetics, so sure that R.D.s would have the respect of M.D.s after all the education it took to become a Registered Dietitian. Doctors would surely treat me as a peer in the medical treatment process. Patients would be eager to learn how they could overcome or even prevent many of their illnesses by simply eating healthy.

My lofty aspirations of people wanting to help themselves by eating healthy turned out to be the most disappointing, degrading, deflating and unfulfilling career I’ve ever experienced. It’s even easier being an evangelist now helping people turn to Jesus to save their spiritual souls than it was back then trying to help people save their physical bodies.

Both doctors and patients it seemed would prefer depending on pills, shots, surgeries, and repeated hospitalizations rather than including a healthy diet in their treatment plan. Patients accused me of taking away their favorite foods thus their reason for living! Often, I got to know patients well because it was like a revolving door of them returning back to the hospital worse than when I last saw them.

I would counsel wives that they were loving their husband to death by feeding him unhealthy food and not following the prescribed diet. I was shocked when most of the wives just looked at me with eyes that conveyed, I’m going to feed him whatever he likes because it’s his love language. I pleaded, “Even if it kills him?”

Doctors didn’t respect R.D.s and patients resented us. After several years of this career abuse, I realized I couldn’t do this for the rest of my life. After dipping my toe into sales, I discovered I was good at it, so I became a manufacturer’s rep for dietetic products and my customers were those poor berated R.D.’s in hospitals.

But once a dietitian always a dietitian as my family will attest to in how I feed them! Times have changed and nutrition has become more popular, yet still Americans are the most overweight and unhealthy people in the world?! When RFK Jr. abandoned his presidential aspirations and teamed up with Trump and I heard their joint goal was to Make America Healthy Again, I bought the MAHA trucker’s hat and started cheering for RFK Jr. to be successful.  I wasn’t alone.

I wore my Make America Healthy Again hat everywhere during the election campaign, especially when we went shopping. Now, I wear it victoriously. People often stop me to say, “I love your hat!” Or even, “I’m praying for them.” Sometimes it’s just a knowing smile or nod. When I wore it on vacation, I even had a radiologist tell me how happy he was that soon government officials would be taking steps to eliminate additives and unhealthy ingredients in our food, especially processed foods. I was thrilled to hear a doctor onboard with MAHA!

I’ve always been a huge proponent of reading all food labels. If there’s more than five ingredients, dyes, sugar, or ingredients you don’t recognize, don’t buy it or eat it. Especially, don’t give it to your growing children. Fresh is always best.

I now write a Nutrition Nook column in the bi-monthly Idaho Christian Living Magazine. It’s fun to still share my nutritional knowledge and passion. Maybe in the future, I’ll post some of those columns in this Monday Morning Blog.

Who is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And What is His Spiritual Testimony?

I watched the swearing in of RFK Jr. as the next HHS Secretary by Justice Neil Gorsuch in the Oval Office and President Trump signed an executive order establishing the Make America Healthy Again Commission, which will be led by Kennedy. I was super impressed to hear Kennedy give God the glory in his remarks, “For twenty years I’ve been on my knees every morning praying that I could end the childhood disease epidemic and God gave me President Trump.”

The night of his swearing in, Kennedy was interviewed on the Laura Ingraham program. You can watch the interview @ RFK: We’re In A Spiritual Crisis; “People Feel Disconnected, And That’s Fueling Depression, Addiction & Chronic Disease” | Video | RealClearPolitics. Here’s a snippet of the opening.

INGRAHAM: Before we get into the priorities on day one, you talked about prayer today in the Oval Office with all of those paintings from Reagan to Andrew Jackson to Abraham Lincoln, Washington all around you. Why did you go to that moment?

KENNEDY JR.: Well, you know, I think it’s relevant because we’re not just in a health crisis, but we’re in a spiritual crisis and those things are connected. And you know, so many times during my campaign, traveling across the country, I sense that that people are feeling disconnected.

You have a whole generation of kids that feel alienated, dispossessed. They are in an existential crisis, not only because their health is, you know, 77 percent of our kids can’t qualify for military service. There is no purpose in their lives and no sense of usefulness or effectiveness or connectedness to their communities. And that drives also the chronic disease epidemic, and the epidemics we’re seeing of depression, of suicide, of alcoholism, of drug addiction. I think we have to address all of those things at the same time. We can’t just say we’re going to make you physically healthy.

INGRAHAM: That’s a tall order.

KENNEDY JR.: Yes, well, I think, you know, we all have to learn. You know, we need to get up in the morning and not think about, what am I going to do to make myself happy today? We have to get up and say, what am I going to do to make myself useful today, to be useful to my friends, to my family, to my community and that paradoxically is ultimately the path to happiness connected to this, you get from doing, you know, from doing good things, from being of service to others.

In the interview, Kennedy told Laura that he’s been a recovering addict for 42 years and goes to meetings every day. His references to God both during his swearing in and this interview made me want to delve a little deeper. Here’s what I found in an article in the Western Journal “RFK Jr. Talks About His 14-Year Battle with Addiction and How He Overcame It Through Faith in God.” The author Richard Bledsoe wrote the following words July 11, 2023, while RFK was still running for president himself.

“Politicians often evoke God for cynical reasons. They may be trying to appear pious, claim divine approval for some policy proposal, or fit in with the priorities of their constituents. However, when it’s a personal story of how God impacted a life, and the visible evidence supports that claim, it’s possible even a politician can bear witness to God’s love.”

The addiction RFK Jr. struggled with began when he was 15, a year after his father was assassinated in 1968, although on the Ingraham Angle he made the statement he always felt he was born with a propensity to an addiction.

In a podcast interview with MIT research scientist Lex Fridman, Kennedy spoke about his addiction and recovery. “When you’re an addict, you’re living against conscience,” he said. “I was always trying to get off of drugs, never able to. But I never felt good about what I was doing.”

The addiction grew despite Kennedy’s religious upbringing. He had to find his way back to God before he could beat it. After learning that addicts who believe in God have better recovery rates, Kennedy chose to behave as if he were a believer, even though at first it was a pretense. “I just started pretending there was a God watching me all the time,” he said.

Kennedy said then God accomplished the impossible for him.

“I had a spiritual awakening and my desire for drugs and alcohol was lifted miraculously,” he said. “And to me, it was as much a miracle as if I’d been able to walk on water because I had tried everything earnestly, sincerely, and honestly for a decade to try to stop and I could not do it under my own power.

“And then all of a sudden, it was lifted effortlessly. So I saw that early evidence of God in my life … and I see it now every day of my life.”

I agree with Bledsoe who wrote, “Opening up about the role of faith in his life, and not being afraid to discuss his flaws, makes Kennedy seem more real than other politicians.”

After hearing more about Kennedy’s faith journey, his humble surrender and dependence on God, and his willingness to talk openly about his past addiction, I do believe RFK Jr. is sincere about wanting to Make America Healthy Again. Especially to discover why children and adults have so many more chronic illnesses and shorter lives than the rest of the world even though we’re one of the wealthiest countries.

What Are the Goals of MAHA?

If you would like to read more, I would encourage you to read RFK Jr.’s Top Health and Wellness Priorities As Doctors Share Input. The goal categories are Reforming Food Policy, Improving Healthcare Access, More Accountability for Pharma Companies, Restoring Medical Freedoms, Advocating for Physical Activity, Promoting Personal Accountability.

Here’s a little more from the Ingraham Angle Interview:

Kennedy: “I believe in freedom of choice. If you want to eat Twinkies, you ought to be able to eat them. But you ought to know what’s in them. So, a lot of what I’m going to do is about being transparent—radical transparency. What I’m about is I want people to understand and empower them to know that if you eat that, it may seem cheap, but it’s gonna cost you in the long run. You might get diabetes etc.”

We have 10,000 additives in our food. Europeans have 400. Many of our additives are illegal in Europe.

Ingraham asked if we were going to become a “nanny state.” She brought up that Pres. Trump likes Big Macs. “You’re not going to take those away, are you?” she asked him.

Kennedy: “McDonalds ought to be incentivized to use beef tallow fat when it’s cooking its Big Mac so that they’re good for people. Rather than using seed oils or some other cooking oils that are actually probably going to make you sicker. So, we want to do a number of things but not take away choice from people.”

“The one place where I would say that we need to really change programs is SNAP [Supplemenal Nutrition Assistance Program], food stamps, and school lunches because they are federal programs and, in many cases, we’re paying for it, and we shouldn’t be subsidizing people to eat poison!”

Kennedy’s message resonates with me. The young enthusiastic altruistic “Florence Nightingale R.D.” who became so disillusioned all those years ago, still has the burning desire to help people nutritionally fuel their body, God’s holy temple. As Kennedy says, and I echo, “For too long, we’ve been stuck in a passive disease management system that treats symptoms instead of addressing the root causes of illness.” 

Kennedy’s, and my, message is the same as it’s been since God created our bodies, “Your health is your responsibility. The government won’t fix it. Your doctor won’t fix it. Big pharma certainly won’t fix it. It’s on you.”

God will help anyone who is willing to help themselves. “The Bible is like food for the inner person. It is milk (1 Peter 2:2), solid food (Hebrews 5:11-14), bread (Matthew 4:4), and honey (Psalm 19:9-10).” Warren Wiersbe

“I think one’s feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.” Florence Nightingale

Why do you spend your money on junk food, your hard-earned cash on cotton candy? Listen to me, listen well: Eat only the best, fill yourself with only the finest. Pay attention, come close now, listen carefully to my life-giving, life-nourishing words. Is. 55:2-3 The Message

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Cor. 6:10-20

Making America Godly Again!

2

“Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.” Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana

President Trump, along with every Christian and man or woman of faith in the Bible, has a sinful past because we’re all born sinners (Romans 3:23). That’s why confession, repentance, forgiveness, and redemption is the Good News of the Gospel. This past Thursday, President Trump spoke at two National Prayer Breakfasts in Washington D.C. If you didn’t hear his remarks, I’m going to share a few comments here and you can watch the entire speech at the US Capitol at this link.

As the Lord would have it, Trump made these remarks the day before he signed an executive order to establish a White House Faith Office and have the Justice Department create a task force led by Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate “targeting” of Christians and “eradicate anti-Christian bias.” The office will be housed under the Domestic Policy Council and will consult with experts in the faith community on policy changes to “better align with American values.” Let’s pray those “experts” are biblically sound and let’s praise the Lord! 

Trump said the task force would be directed to “immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ, which was absolutely terrible, the IRS, the FBI — terrible — and other agencies.” President Trump assigned Bondi to “fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide.” In addition to the task force, Trump is forming a commission on religious liberty. He criticized the Biden administration for “persecution” of believers and for prosecuting anti-abortion advocates.

At this link, you can read more about the task force and hear President Trump speak at a second National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C.  Apparently, they have two prayer breakfasts now, one for government officials and a second larger private event.

President Trump’s Testimony

During the Capitol prayer breakfast, President Trump recalled something I’ve heard him say before. He remembers well his father taking him many times as a young boy to Billy Graham revivals at Yankee Stadium. He said he remembers the revivals more than the games he watched there. Like many of us, God was planting the seed of faith in his heart at an early age. It’s hard to imagine anyone not becoming a believer at those revivals. The first time I went to one as a teenager, it was in Los Angeles and even though I was already a Christian, I found myself going down to the stadium floor just to be prayed over by the Reverend Billy Graham.

But like President Trump, I had my straying backsliding years until another revival in my forties with Pastor Greg Laurie at a Harvest Crusade where I rededicated my life to the Lord. I believe President Trump has been steadily making his way back to the Lord also. Only he and God know when his faith began, but by his own testimony, something changed in his heart and his faith with his miraculous protection from two assassination attempts.

Trump led into his own personal faith testimony at the prayer breakfast by speaking about the tragic airline and helicopter crash in D.C. I tried to write quickly so my quotes may not be exact, but I would encourage you to listen for yourself to the entire speech. Here’s part of it.

“None of us knows when our time on earth will be over. A truth I confronted a few months ago when there was an incident that wasn’t fun. It wasn’t a good thing. My sons who are accomplished riflemen said the chances of me being here was like missing a one-foot golf putt. Don went up in religion. He gained 25% and if you know Don that’s pretty good. Don said there had to be someone who saved you and then he looked up. And I said, ‘Whoa Don, you’ve come a long way.’”

Trump went on to talk about how the bullet missed the target of his head and grazed his ear as he turned towards the now famous immigration chart. “God did that, it had to be! It was God that saved me. That chart is never on my right, it’s always on my left and it’s usually at the end of my speech not at the beginning. . . It changed something in me. I feel, I feel even stronger. I believed in God, but I feel much more strongly about it now. Something happened in me.”

We know what “happened” in him and he’s still trying to put it into words that instead of a ‘religion,’ he now has a relationship. However, in Latin the word religion means Re=again and ligion=connect, unite. We’re estranged from God apart from being connected or united with Christ. Religion in the Greek means piety or level of interest.  Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27

Maybe President Trump’s use of the biblical word ‘religion’ is actually more prophetic than he realized, as he continued . . .

“That event, like the airline tragedy last week, reminds us we must make the most of every single day that we have! . . . We have to make religion a much more important factor. It brings people together. . . It’s the thing that makes our nation great and makes other nations great. When you don’t have it, you don’t see great nations. Without God, we are isolated and alone, but with God, the Scripture tells us, all things are possible.”

He went on to say how he could remember also as a kid how Democrats and Republicans would eat lunch or dinner together. In fact, he began his talk at the Capitol looking out at the government officials from both parties and commented on what great things they could do if they would only work together.  “But today,” he said, “It’s shocking. We all know what’s right and what’s wrong. If possible, we have to unify. But it’s hard to have a middle ground.”

He emphasized, “The happiest people in every element are people of religion who are going to be happy again. I really believe you can’t be happy without religion. Without that belief. I really believe it. So, let’s bring religion back. Let’s bring God back into our lives!”

Earlier in his talk he mentioned previous president’s faith, and then he quoted, the “apostle Paul in Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” He added, “Look at me. I never gave up or I wouldn’t be here. Never grow weary and always do good.”

What great advice from Paul and President Trump. When God puts a call on our heart to do good, we must not give up even when there’s disappointment and even when it’s hard. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind now that as hard as it was for President Trump and for all of us to live through the last four years, God can make good out of every set back. Trump even mentioned that God will bring good out of the horrific plane and helicopter crash, and He will. It was a call for immediate change. A new aviation system is needed to replace the archaic patched up one we have now, which would probably lead to even more tragedies if it isn’t updated.

In an interview with Pierce Morgan, President Trump’s friend Dana White said he has told Trump so many times to stop. You have such a good life. Why? But then White added, “He believes in God. He believes that to his core. He believes that God has spared his life to be President for the next four years.”

President Trump Is Trying to Give Our Country Back to Us!

We have watched in shock, horror, and yes, anger at the unjust, corrupt, and evil use of our taxpayer dollars by USAID being revealed by DOGE. It’s as if the left was trying to indoctrinate the globe with woke trans and queer ideologies that they couldn’t get enough traction with here in the United States, so they used our money to market this perversity to other countries. You’ve seen the lists, I’m sure. Even sending money that ended up in terrorist’s coffers and contributing to the creation of COVID.

You ask yourself what and who could possibly dream up this absurdity and, of course, it’s Satan. Satan wants to wipeout God’s creation of humans and what better way than to convince people that they can change their sex by castrating them, making them infertile, or having same-sex relations. In fact, 6.3 million of our money was sent to South Africa for “men who have sex with other men!” You can’t make this stuff up. It would actually seem too crazy even in a sci fi novel, yet it is our reality. USAID was the Democrat’s social justice slush fund for years and now it’s being disbanded for investigation of any residual good that can be reassigned to the State Department under Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Those who are screaming the loudest about this sanitizing of the swamp are the swamp creatures themselves who either are getting kickbacks or are demonically deranged.

Promises Made Promises Kept

On a happier note, I hope you’ve been praising God as I have that something we’ve been interceding for diligently is President Trump’s executive order “No Men in Women’s Sports!!! Following are some of President Trump’s comments when signing this order while surrounded by young girls in their sports uniforms and the women who have fought so long and hard for this. Again, I was writing quickly to capture as much as I could, but here’s a link to watch if you didn’t see it live.

“We won’t allow men to beat up and cheat against women any longer. We’re getting woke lunacy militant transgender ideology out of women’s sports. Men have had 3500 victories and entered into 11,000 women’s competitions. The war on women’s sports is over!

“If a school doesn’t comply, they’ll be investigated and lose federal funding.”

“When the Olympics come to LA in 2028, we will reject trans in sports. My administration won’t stand by and let men badger women in sports. We speak with authority. We will also deny all men trying to get into the US to play in women’s sports. We’ve rescinded taxpayer money from any organization allowing transgenders in women’s sports. We’ve also banned sex changes in children.”

What a victory for women and girls!

Some blue states like California and Minnesota plan to continue the war on women and their federal funding must be stopped until they comply with this fair and common sense right of women to only compete with women in sports. Period. No exceptions. Even the NCAA’s Board of Governors after President Trump’s executive order voted to update the association’s policy for transgender student athletes, restricting the women’s category to females only.

“We strongly believe that clear, consistent, and uniform eligibility standards would best serve today’s student-athletes instead of a patchwork of conflicting state laws and court decisions,” NCAA President Charlie Baker said in a statement. “To that end, President Trump’s order provides a clear, national standard.” Too bad it took an executive order for them to protect women and girls.
The new policy limits competition in women’s sports to student-athletes assigned female at birth only. The policy permits student-athletes assigned male at birth to practice with women’s teams and receive benefits such as medical care while practicing. 

Personally, I don’t like the term, “assigned at birth” because only God makes that “assignment” at conception, and I don’t understand letting men still practice with women because that can be dangerous too. Hopefully they’ll come around completely, but it’s a great start.

How Can We Help Make America Godly Again?

President Trump has many Christians around him now on his staff and cabinet, so we must be praying for all of them and for the Christians in the Congress and Senate to govern by a biblical worldview.

In our own sphere of influence, we need to ask God how He wants to use us for His glory. We all have different gifts. Yes, every one of us has a spiritual gift that could be used to further God’s kingdom here on earth. When we hear God’s marching orders, we need to be willing to step up and enlist in God’s army. We can’t sit at home and expect President Trump and his team to do all the heavy lifting. I’d love to hear in the comments how you feel God is using you to Make America Godly Again.

Now, dear brothers and sisters, regarding your question about the special abilities the Spirit gives us. I don’t want you to misunderstand this. 2 You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols. 3 So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor. 12:1-3

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Gal. 6:9 NLT

The Battle to ‘Fight, Fight, Fight’ Has Just Begun!

3

You may have noticed there were no Monday Morning Blogs for several weeks in November. That’s because hubby Dave and I went on a Media Research Center (MRC) “After Election Caribbean Cruise.” I didn’t know much about the Media Research Center when I saw the advertisements for the cruise on Facebook. But reading about the FOX News speakers and Christian actor Kevin Sorbo and his wife Sam going on the cruise, I knew we’d be with like-minded Conservatives who would either mourn together the election results or joyfully celebrate the new President-Elect, Donald J. Trump. As it turned out, we were joyful! Excited! Hopeful! Expectant! As many rejoiced, “We’ve got our country back!”

If you follow me regularly, you know I’m a Conservative Christian who was praying and working towards a Trump victory, which turned out to be beyond our expectations as the American people overwhelmingly used their ballots to say we’d had enough with the progressive liberal demise of our great country under the Biden/Harris Administration.

The election victory was Christians, conservatives, some Democrats, Libertarians, and those in the middle showing by a landslide turnout that we’d had enough! Enough of open borders, high prices, inflation, wokeness, crime, wars, excessive government spending, legal warfare against opponents, and a tone-deaf media and White House that only represented the far-left extreme progressive minority, while ignoring, belittling, and slandering the majority as “deplorables” “unintelligent” “garbage.” We wanted a return to common sense.

When Donald J Trump was shot in the ear in an attempted assassination, he struggled to his feet, raised his fist in the air, and iconically cried out “Fight, fight, fight!” We did exactly that with our vote, which as he had predicted, would be too big to rig. Thank you to everyone who voted, and to anyone who participated in My Faith Votes Write Now campaign! Even many blue states had large areas of red as Trump won the popular and electoral vote.

But the fight is not over. It’s now moving into a new battleground of getting Trump’s cabinet choices through the Senate. Just like during the election campaign, the liberal progressive media arm of the Democrat party is spewing lies and negative stories from “anonymous” sources to try to discredit Trump’s nominations. They know he’s choosing people who will go into the various departments and clean out the deep state and anyone with more self-interest than interest in making America Great Again!

Here’s how the Media Research Center helps. MRC is a nonprofit media watchdog that researches the lies, misinformation, and propaganda of the mainstream left-leaning media and feeds their findings to conservative outlets and the public to expose the biased media. Be on the lookout for statistics, graphs, and videos that say MRC or even MRC spokespeople appearing in interviews.

As an example of what MRC does, let’s take Google. A December 6th MRC email exposes the left-leaning bias of Google, which MRC has learned used its search engine and tech prowess to help rig more than 40 elections dating back to 2008. MRC learned that in 2024, Google did more to censor information in the election than any tech company in any election ever did! If you looked for good news and information about Kamala Harris, you got good news and information about Kamala Harris. If you looked for good news and information about Donald Trump, you got good news and information about Kamala Harris. 

MRC also learned that Google’s artificial intelligence bot, Gemini, doesn’t even acknowledge that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Google’s subsidiary YouTube was willing to limit the reach of the most popular video of the year – the Trump interview with podcaster Joe Rogan – to keep it from boosting Trump in the polls.

MRC also learned that Google buried campaign websites and news about conservative candidates – especially those who worked on tech issues – and promoted leftist candidates, their websites, and favorable press. 

 Google is using these same tactics to undermine Trump’s cabinet nominees. On Nov. 26 and again on Dec. 3, MRC used its proprietary methods for conducting “clean” internet searches – searches not influenced by prior search history or tracking cookies – to search for the names of various Trump nominees. 

On Nov. 26, MRC found that Google listed 20 times more articles from left-leaning publications than from conservative outlets. In the Dec. 3 search, the ratio was 18:1!

The platform even displayed a hit piece by the prestigious publication Teen Vogue on the first page of news search results for Linda McMahon, Trump’s appointment to lead the Department of Education. 

MRC’s vigilance is producing results. When they revealed that Google was manipulating search results so responses to Trump produced results for Harris, Trump threatened legal action once he becomes president. The people he has chosen for the jobs that would be critical to doing this seem serious about looking into Google’s practices.

Along with what the MRC has unearthed about Google, they’re also watchdogs on mainstream media, which after recovering from their failure to persuade the public to not elect President Trump, is now going after his cabinet choices to try and handicap his America-first agenda.

I want to talk about one specific person currently under attack by the left media, Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense. The Pentagon and military need an elimination of DEI woke focus and return to a warrior focus. Pete’s the right veteran for the job. Because the quivering quaking left know this, they’re trying to use Google and the unscrupulous press to destroy him, but he’s a fighter who won’t retreat.

If you Google Pete Hegseth today, the opening articles are all negative and from left-leaning publications like New York Magazine, ABC News, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Politico, The New York Times, CNN. You have to scroll a long way down the page before you see a FOX News video from Mark Levin, “Pete Hegseth will be a fantastic Secretary of Defense” next to another positive video interview from The Hill. Those are the only two positive headlines on the entire page, as it reverts to negative articles from CNN.

Then way down the page you see the best-selling books Pete has authored: The War On Warriors, American Crusade, Modern Warriors, In the Arena: Good Citizens, a Great Republic, and How One Speech Can Reinvigorate America. Then it’s back to liberal negative Associated Press News and NBC News hit pieces.

I’m singling out Pete Hegseth as an example of the left using the media to try to crush Trump’s attempt to surround himself with men and women who will support him and his agenda because Dave and I have personally met Pete and know his testimony. He was the keynote speaker at the Idaho Family Policy Center’s Gala this past February 2024. We went because I had heard Pete often on FOX News and I knew he was a man of faith and integrity, a father of seven, a fierce patriot, and had served our country in two wars.

We were not disappointed. He was a fabulous, genuine, authentic speaker who obviously loves God, his family, and America. When we heard on the cruise that President-Elect Trump had picked Pete as his nominee for Secretary of Defense, I was elated. With decorated battlefield experience, Pete understands the heart and mind of the military.

What I didn’t expect was the way the left and the media, one in the same, would come after him to literally try to destroy him and his family. Labeling his Christian faith as, “an extreme strain of Christian Nationalism” because he has Christian tattoos and “appears to believe in applying biblical Christian law to society, male leadership, and actively preparing the world for the prophesied return of Jesus.” Well, I don’t have tattoos, but I believe that too! The left has tried to demean male leadership as toxic, while they put men in dresses in the White House! No more! God created men to be masculine as the head of the church and the family, not to pretend that they’re women.

Apparently, in his younger years, as can happen with soldiers returning home, he had some experiences he’s not proud of but denies any impropriety. Both he and his mother say he is not the man he was 10 years ago, and he attributes the change in his life to being redeemed and forgiven by Jesus Christ, which I’ve heard him say a number of times especially in recent encounters with the media.

Pete’s also put the media on notice. He said at one point at a press conference, “This will not be a process tried in media. I don’t answer to anyone in this group—none of you. Not to that camera. I answer to President Trump who received 76 million votes and a mandate for change. I answer to the 100 senators who are a part of this process. And I answer to my Lord and Savior, my wife, and my family . . . as long as Donald Trump wants me in this fight, I’m going to be standing right here fighting.”

Sometimes, even Christians, forget that the heart of Christianity is admitting our sins, repentance, and receiving redeeming unconditional forgiveness from Jesus who wipes our slate clean. As Pete’s mother said, “He who is without sin, throw the first stone.” We were all there at one time, and, yes, there are consequences for our past, but God can and will still use us just as He did with King David and the Apostle Paul.

If we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 1 John 1:9 NLT

Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be— you get a fresh start, your slate’s wiped clean. Ps. 32:1 The Message

Pete is not the only cabinet nomination coming under attack. While we were on the cruise, we heard from Tom Homan, Trump’s Border Czar choice, via telephone that his family has been threatened and had to leave their home. Many of the nominees, along with their families, have been targeted with threats. Kash Patel, nominated to head the FBI, which desperately needs revamping, is another extremely capable nominee coming under attack because he has a proven record of finding the lawbreakers. I let out a cheer when I heard President Trump nominate him so pray for Kash too.  

As My Faith Votes, “Friday Five” expressed: “While our Senators must do their job and properly vet each nominee, they must also evaluate them with fairness and recognition that the American people entrusted President-elect Trump with the responsibility to appoint those whom he desires to have working alongside him. 

CALL TO ACTION: Please send this pre-written, editable message to your Senators, encouraging them to work with the President-elect and ensure the safety of all nominees. Invite others to as well.” So I’m inviting you to take this action.

You can also call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 1-202-224-3121 and ask for your Senators or Representatives office. Currently, Mitch McConnell, John Thune, Susan Collings, Lisa Murkowski, Lindsey Graham, and Joni Ernst have not committed to vote for Pete Hegseth. He can only lose 3 Senators expecting the Dems will stay in lockstep and vote against him, even though the Biden Administration didn’t experience this pushback from the same Republicans when a man who pretends to be a woman was approved as the United States Assistant Secretary for Health. A person who lobbies for sexual mutilation of children?! Why didn’t these Senators vote against him/her? This wasn’t the only questionable Biden cabinet member.

The MFV Friday Five email also addressed the threat proposed by Rep. Wiley Nickel, D. NC, to create a “shadow cabinet” targeting the Executive Branch’s cabinet. Here’s a review of the suggestions of this maneuver, a plan whose priority is to work antagonistically against the incoming cabinet. Details here that will shock you! 

CALL TO ACTION: Please make it abundantly clear to your Representatives that you will not support the formation of a “shadow cabinet.” Simply click here to send a message to your Representative. Please share with friends as I’m sharing with you.

As I said earlier, the fight is just beginning. Voting was the first step, but we need to stay continually and critically involved if we’re going to see the changes we voted for enacted. The left knows no boundaries. They’re definitely trying to defy the will of the people who voted them out of the White House and the reprobate media still thinks they’re relevant.

Sadly, not everyone realizes they’re being manipulated, conned, and gas lighted by mainstream media. If you listened to the details above about the Dem’s Shadow Government proposal, they’re presenting a continuance of the very government policies the American people voted against. They’re not listening to us. They still don’t get it. Don’t think they’ve given up.

We’ve experienced a taste of victory with the first election skirmish, but now the real battle begins in our prayer closets and in the public square supporting our new President, his cabinet, and their families. I hope you’re suited up in the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10:18) and ready as onward Christian soldiers.

“And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.” Luke 19:13

Vote To Let Freedom Ring and Remain!

0

Engaging in discussion regarding the people and platforms involved in the 2024 election can be frustrating and even divisive. This blog will post the day before we find out which side will govern our country for the next four years or maybe longer. It might take days in our current election chaos to know the outcome of the election. That says so much about the deterioration that has occurred at every level of government.

What’s distressed me most this election season is discussions with fellow believers who have opposing worldviews. We read the same Bible and pray to the same God, so how can this be? I think the answer is the powerful influence the mainstream media, which has literally become a propaganda arm of the Democrat/liberal/progressive party, has effectively had on the minds and hearts of people who to me seem brainwashed and blinded by Satan’s lies. Yet, they’ll tell me I’m brainwashed as they defend the evil the Democrat party wants to inflict on us. It amazes me that they can’t see the moral, spiritual, and economical destruction that’s occurred in our country and our culture over the past four years. How could they call this good?

I’ve also seen Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) at its worst exemplifying the power of propaganda and lies to influence intelligent godly people to hate and detest someone so much they would vote against Trump knowing the other side has an evil, demonic, anti-God agenda. They hate Trump more than they love America. Even Trump commented recently when asked why he thought so many people have such strong views against him, even to trying to assassinate him. His response is that only consequential candidates produce that kind of reaction in people. Many in the deep dark Washington swamp don’t want him in power because they know he’ll reveal and remedy the evil that’s taking place there.

Speaker Johnson has warned that Republicans need to win the Senate and the Congress because if the Democrats win either one, they’ll immediately try to impeach President Trump. How crazy is that?!

As we countdown to the election, here are links to the blogs the Lord led me to write about this election. Also, I’ll post the About His Work Ministries opening newsletter article “What Does It Mean to Think Biblically” because not everyone receives my monthly newsletter. (You can sign up at my website.)

What Does It Mean to Vote Biblically? continues to receive more hits than any blog I’ve ever written.

Don’t Be Fooled by the ‘Joy and Vibes’ Political Shield, which now has turned to ugly name calling, yelling, and angry tirades.

What Does It Mean to Think Biblically Versus Culturally or Secularly?

The opposite of thinking biblically is thinking secularly. Christians should vote their faith and values, but when we see the polls of Christians voting for a candidate whose platform is anti-biblical, anti-life, anti-Christian, anti-God, and anti-capable, it’s evident that many Christians aren’t checking with God or their Bible before selecting a candidate’s platforms and policies to govern our land. That goes for down ballot too.

It’s blessed me to see many Christians during this election cycle who aren’t afraid to discuss politicized biblical issues like sanctity of life, marriage, sexuality, protecting children from pornography and gender mutilation, and God’s design for humanity. Social media is full of brave posts and conversations. Now many are speaking and posting biblical values publicly. Praise God!

I even heard one pastor say, “Don’t be afraid to talk about politics and religion at holiday or family gatherings.” For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. 2 Tim. 1:7 NLT

We need to speak God’s truth no matter the circumstances. It’s the fear of man rather than the fear of God that has sent many Christians underground and silenced them. This has congruently allowed a nefarious government to successfully enforce laws contrary to God’s laws. But God’s Word in Hebrews 13:6 NLT assures us, “So we can say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?’”

However, here’s what “mere people” will try to do when Christians don’t speak up and vote. Ohio voted to codify abortion into the state constitution and a judge recently ruled unconstitutional the state’s previous six-week abortion ban law, which had been the law in Ohio since 2019.  “Ohio voters have spoken,” Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Christian Jenkins wrote in the filing. “The Ohio Constitution now unequivocally protects the right to abortion.” I would add, nullifying rights and protection of the unborn.

Why weren’t there enough Christian Ohio voters to protect the unborn? Ohio, once considered a conservative red state, is now a “swing state.” Up for grabs politically and morally. How did the Christians in that state let this happen? How is it that after the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional Roe v Wade and sent the decision back to the states, that we now have more abortions not fewer? More precious babies killed in the womb before they have the right to life?

Harris’ platform is to federally codify abortion in every state, which would strike down unborn baby protection laws like those we have in Idaho that bans all abortion. Christians need to vote against her and her radical platform.

Pro-life activists and leaders in Missouri are sounding the alarm about Amendment 3, the “Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative,” on the ballot that would not only result in unrestricted abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, but would also “go way beyond abortion” and enshrine transgender surgeries on children. Let’s pray Missouri Christians are sounding the alarm to vote it down.

How are some Christians okay with killing human babies? Surveys tell us they are?  45% of Christians and 6 in 10 Catholics say they’re in favor of abortion and are voting for an unbiblical political platform?!

The only answer has to be that some Christians aren’t praying and reading their Bible to help them think biblically. Their worldview is influenced by secular culture, not God’s Scriptures. They may go to Bible studies, attend church, and check the Christian box. But they’re not allowing the Bible to transform and renew their mind and heart, thus their thinking and actions. How can I say this? Because God would NEVER condone killing human babies that He creates in His own image.

Randall Terry of Operation Rescue, along with several pastors, created TV commercials to depict the horrors of abortion and he’s paying to run them during prime time. Here’s the link to one that ran on The View, but warning, it’s graphic.

Tools For Thinking Biblically

Our Couples Bible Study group is viewing and discussing a My Faith Votes free online video series “Think Biblically” led by faith experts to help Christians stand firm on God’s Holy unchanging Word and think biblically about culture and politics. The video series is designed for churches, small groups, families, friends, couples, or on your own. The focus is to help Christians firmly align their beliefs with God’s Word and gain an understanding of how their views of culture align with a biblical worldview.

A quote from Think Biblically website: “In today’s polarizing world, many struggle to anchor their views on the truth of God’s Word. Now, more than ever, Christians need to evaluate our nation’s issues through a biblical lens and stand with an unshakeable faith.”

Another free resource, even after the election, is from Cissie Graham Lynch, granddaughter of Billy Graham and daughter of Franklin Graham. Fearless Family: Eight-Day Election Prayer Guide to take a biblical look at the issues affecting the heart of our families. Cissie writes, “Today, we are surrounded by a culture, both inside the church and out, that continues to compromise on truth and morality. It feels as if the only sin in America today is to call something sinful! Marriage, gender, sexuality, equality, and justice are simple words that have been twisted and redefined in ways God never intended. People are choosing to be ruled by their feelings rather than truth. My grandfather once said, ‘The secret strength of a nation is found in the faith that abides in the hearts and homes of the country.’ We must have a strong faith if we want to have a strong nation!”

What Does It Mean to Think Biblically?

  • We’re guided by God’s Word and His truths alone, not the latest cultural or political trend or talking points.
  • We will not bend to political or social pressure.
  • We will not break our vows, promises, and adherence to God and His laws.
  • We will stand for our faith and biblical values, even when they’re unpopular, especially when they’re unpopular.
  • We won’t be intimidated or coerced into denying the Gospel. We will be proud of our faith never apologetic for our Christian beliefs.
  • We will fill our minds with Scripture not propaganda.
  • Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
  • Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Col 3:2
  • Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Pr. 4:23
  • For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Heb. 4:12
  • All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Tim. 3:16-17

“Our battle is not between political parties—it’s a matter of good versus evil. Truth versus lies. And God’s absolute truth never changes—no matter how our culture tries to redefine it.” Cissie Graham Lynch

Please Pray and Vote on November 5th If You Haven’t Already!

If you’re undecided about how to vote, listen to this message by Pastor Jonny Ardavanis at Stonebridge Bible Church in Franklin, TN “Pastoral Perspective on Politics.”

Also join in a prayer group on Monday Nov. 4th as they take place online, in person, or in your own homes and churches. Pray for God’s will to take place at the voting polls. Election interference subverted. Truth and justice prevail.

My hope for after the election is “Revive in 2025.” I pray God is preparing us for a mighty revival and just as we became brave and bold speaking against the evil that one side is trying to legitimatize, we would continue supporting biblical values and God’s good and gracious plans for the America we’re so blessed to call home. No victory is ever won easily. It takes diligence, persistence, focus, and God’s wisdom and discernment.

This will be my last blog for the month of November. I want to thank you for letting me share what God puts on my heart each week. I pray no matter who wins this election, you’ll continue serving God wherever and however He calls you!

Have a blessed Thanksgiving month. To God be the glory for the things He has done and will continue to do until His Son, Jesus Christ, returns.

Here’s a beautiful song from Danny Gokey, My America. Listen, watch, enjoy.

Don’t Be Fooled by the ‘Joy and Vibes’ Political Shield!

4

An author friend of mine recently put a meme on her Facebook profile page, “What in the world does the politics of joy mean?” Here were some of the responses:

  • “‘Strength through joy’ was a Nazi slogan in 1933 to fool the public into thinking their lives were going well.” [This is true]
  • “To me, it means she has nothing legitimate to contribute.”
  • “It means she’s an empty suit with absolutely nothing to offer except four more years of dismantling the entire Constitution in favor of Socialism with the aim of a complete dictatorship. But shhhhh… we’re not supposed to notice that.”
  • “They’re trying to fool/distract everyone talking about joy with their everything will be ok BS. Meanwhile they’re the reason we’re in this situation. Sad thing is many are falling for it
  • “Purely political spin to cover the cackle.”

This last statement is exactly what I thought when I first heard the Harris “joy” campaign. She can’t speak without a nervous laugh, even when the topic is serious and laughing is inappropriate. So, if she can’t control it, let’s just call it joy. But is that how you really want a President responding in the situation room with a nuclear button in his or her hand or when communicating with other world leaders?

It’s all part of the liberal propaganda media machine that the Democrats are using to rebrand Harris from a losing candidate with no votes to the candidate they now have to build up to win. Media hypocrisy, bias, lies, spin masking uncontrollable laughter and cackling in a presidential candidate they must support no matter how incapable she obviously is.

It shows the power of media propaganda. A couple of months ago, they were telling Biden to drop Harris then the Democrats dropped Biden and turned Harris into the joy and good vibes candidate. It’s tragic how easily people are fooled and manipulated by a biased press who truly are the enemy of the people.

Someone else responded on the Facebook chat using the term “cult of Trump” and proceeded to list off all the liberal and media talking points against Trump as if she had actually seen all these things happen personally. That’s the power of the press and how easily people can be gullibly persuaded by lies and repetition.

To which I would reply,

“It’s sad to hear you tick off all the mainstream propaganda talking points. Have you tried listening to Newsmax, Fox, Flashpoint, or Victory News to hear the other side of truth to lies? Do you want America to become a Communist country because Harris is a Marxist and further to the left then the Squad or Bernie Sanders! She’s not a moderate any more than Biden was, and she lies just like him.

If you wondered where Harris came up with her oft repeated slogan, “unburdened by what has been,” it’s straight from Karl Marx who said, “Move forward into a future unburdened by what has been.”

Another person wrote, “There has been a lot of joy energizing Kamala’s campaign since she took over the nomination.”

Here would be my response: “Seriously, ‘joy in her campaign’?”

  • What joy is there in having a diabolical zeal for killing innocent babies and mislabeling it as a “woman’s right” or “reproductive healthcare”?
  •  What joy is there in federally codifying Roe v. Wade infanticide up until and even after birth by making it “the law of the land”?
  • What joy is there in calling pro-life laws “immoral” and repealing the Hyde Amendment?
  • What joy is there in giving young children harmful hormone drugs, castrating and mutilating them, while deceiving these vulnerable children with the lie that they can change their gender?
  • What joy is there in promoting the sexual perversion of transgenderism?
  • What joy is there in flooding our borders with illegals, criminals, and drugs?
  • What joy is there in losing 385,000 unaccompanied children crossing the border?
  • What joy is there in inflation?
  • What joy is there in skyrocketing grocery, home, and gas prices?
  • What joy is there in rewriting Title IX to give biological males’ access to female private spaces and invading girls’ sports?
  • What joy is there in supporting the Equality Act criminalizing employees, medical professionals, parents, and organizations holding biblical views on sexuality?
  • What joy is there in indoctrinating young children with sexual perversion and encouraging them to question how God made them?
  • What joy is there in censorship?
  • What joy is there in wars?
  • What joy is there in antisemitism and defending terrorists while removing support from Israel?
  • What joy is there in the government giving thousands of dollars, housing, and luxuries to illegals, billions to foreign countries, but lacking funds to help Americans ravaged by a hurricane?
  • What joy is there in giving incarcerated felons and illegals government funded sex change surgeries?
  • What joy is there in tyrannical Marxism/Communism?  

Harris literally laughs off as joyful and good vibes the above Democrat platform that she touts along with other atrocities and threats to our democracy and republic. That’s not joy. That’s EVIL! That’s not how God defines joy.

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

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8-9

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

“for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Neh. 8:10

A person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word! Pr. 15:23

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, Rom. 14:17

Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Heb. 12:2

Pray for Christians to Vote Biblically and NOT Emotionally!

I hope you’ll read my September About His Work Ministries Newsletter. The opening article was “Pray That Christians Move from the Pews to the Polls!” Some have assumed that my posts on social media, newsletters, and blogs pointing out the importance of voting our biblical values might just be speaking to the choir as if every Christian votes that way.

Unbelievably only 1 in 3 Christians vote?! Roughly 30% of Evangelicals aren’t registered to vote, and of those registered to vote, 40% don’t vote. For the life of me, I can’t understand this apathy among so many Christians who don’t see it as their civic and Christian duty to participate in the elections.

Here’s another disturbing fact I’m still processing. After all the things I’ve mentioned in this blog, and there are so many more about the agenda and platform of Kamala Harris and the Democrats that is evil, woke, Marxist, and diabolical going against all godly biblical principles and beliefs, there are Christians voting for her and her unbiblical values and policy plans?!

I’m most saddened by the article Surprising Presidential Election Shift Among Christian Pastors Exposes Tragic Truth About Today’s Politics that pointed out that 61% of Evangelical pastors plan to vote for Trump while 50% of mainline Protestant pastors are voting for Harris’ anti- God, anti-biblical policies because of “personal character.” Say what? What character qualities embrace evil policies like infanticide? Trump isn’t the only one with history. Harris hasn’t been held accountable for being the mistress at age 29 of a married 60-year-old politician! These pastors are writing off her transgressions and focusing on all the bad press about Trump. But the sad thing is pastors voting for all the evil I posted earlier, are influencing their congregants to do the same. How will they answer for this to God?

I guess these pastors would’ve voted for the dethroning of adulterer and murder conspirator and plotter King David. They would’ve never forgiven him. Yes, he had consequences to pay for his sins, but God saw his heart and the good he could do for God’s people, and He used him in spite of his flawed past. Similarly, with the apostle Paul who persecuted Christians. God saw something in him that no one else saw and aren’t we glad since he wrote most of the New Testament. I could go on and on.

I’m particularly grieved by a pastor personal to me. It’s taken me days to reconcile Pastor Ray Ortlund Jr.’s twitter post with the pastor I thought I knew. I was mentored by his mother Anne Ortlund and met his father Pastor Ray Ortlund Sr. many times. They were an amazing Bible-believing and Bible teaching couple. I’ve followed their Renewal Ministries, now headed by Ortlund Jr., for over thirty years so I was shocked to read Ortlund Jr.’s now deleted tweet, “Never Trump. This time Harris. Always Jesus.” Trying to defend himself from the pushback he received he wrote, “Abortion is a horrible evil. But…” He lost all credibility. Using Jesus to justify legalized murder of babies is appalling. There is no ‘but,’ which many pointed out to him before he deleted the tweet. I no longer follow Renewal Ministries, and I’ll write a letter to Ray Ortlund Jr. explaining why. His parents would be so disappointed as was I.

In the 2016 election, I wrote a blog asking Why Aren’t All Christians Extending Grace and Forgiveness to Trump?, and republished and updated it in 2020. It’s about Christians and pastors, who tout the Gospel of Jesus’ forgiveness and grace, yet refuse to extend forgiveness to Trump, who has stated unequivocally that he is a Christian. He did more for religious and Christian rights and liberties during his presidency than any other president. He speaks the name of Jesus Christ often, not in a slanderous way but respectfully and faithfully. He has attributed two failed assassination attempts on his life to God’s miracle protection. Yet, many Christians still refuse to forgive his past and haven’t addressed Harris’ past or the numerous times she’s voted, both as a Senator and Vice President, against the free exercise of religion.

We must remember that we’re not voting for a person’s personality, but we vote for their platform. As Christians, we vote for how they will govern under the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Freedom of Religion, and the Bible to protect and maintain the United States as a republic founded on biblical principles.

Pastor Franklin Graham wrote in the opening article in October 2024 Decision Magazine, “The Bible clearly teaches that governments are ordained by God to restrain evil and enable righteousness to flourish (Romans 13:3-4). That’s why Christians should carefully pray and vote for candidates who best align with and stand for Biblical principles from the presidency and down ballot. Vote to lessen evil.”

Pastor Graham’s daughter Cissie Graham Lynch wrote about the election, “Our battle is not between political parties—it’s a matter of good versus evil. Truth versus lies. And God’s absolute truth never changes no matter how our culture tries to redefine it.” Cissie is offering Fearless Family, a free, eight day voting prayer guide about the most urgent issues affecting the heart of our families–education, the economy, gender ideology, immigration, the family structure, the sanctity of life, and religious freedom. These issues on the ballot aren’t just political, they are Biblical, and God’s Word has a lot to say about them. Get your FREE copy here.

I encourage you to also get a copy of the October Decision magazine with the title “America’s Future In The Balance.” You decide whether you want good or evil for America because that’s the spiritual battle in this election. (We subscribe to Decision Magazine, but you can read all the articles, especially those that compare the Democrat vs Republican platforms on their website October 2024 Archives – Decision Magazine.)

President John Quincy Adams when asked a cynical question about the failure to end slavery after decades of trying, said simply, “Duty is ours; results are Gods.” I hope and pray you’ll do your civic duty November 5 and joyfully vote your biblical values not your emotional vibes.
