Cultural Controversies Headed to the Supreme Court

It is time for the conservatives on the Supreme court to take a stand against the immoral practices pushed on the citizens of the United States. Tennessee passed a law prohibiting trans gender surgeries on minors, and right on cue the Biden-Kamala administration seek to overturn the protection of minors being mutilated. Well let’s see what the august body in intellectual minds have to say about this. See link below to read the full article. Rh

Christian Perspective on the 2024 Election

First off, Christians have a moral duty to vote and to vote Biblical values.  Pastors or church members who say we should not get involved in elections are checking out of society.  Governmental decisions directly impact all areas of life.  When the Church is silent, evil and greedy power hungry politicians are free to destroy our country.  We must vote!   Look at the moral issues of today.  Are not Pastors and church members supposed to speak into the immorality that we are witnessing on a daily basis?  Yes!

As a Christian there are certain issues I can not vote for.  What does the Bible say?  Does your candidate or party platform endorse these anti God issues?  If so, the choice is simple.  You can’t as a Christian vote for these people.  Case closed.

Nonstarters for me are, abortion, transgender surgeries, homosexual marriage, porn in our school libraries, promoting the gender dystopia in our schools or society, lgbtq+ and since breaking the law is sin, open borders.  We cannot allow immorality and we can’t permit our country to be overrun by people who want to be in America and not be Americans. These are the moral issues only, not to mention high taxation, inflation, energy independence, rule of law and other issues that are more governmental instead of moral.

Christian cannot praise Jesus on Sunday and vote for immorality on Tuesday.  Case closed.  Tell it to Jesus

One candidate and party has embraced all the immoral issues that I could never accept.  So not voting for her or anyone else identified with “that party” is an easy decision.

Now comes the hard part.  The other candidate and party has softened its commitment to life, while still professing a stance of support for the Pro Life position. Going so far as to blame Pro Life supporters for losses in the 2022 midterms. Not good.  Having a fund raiser with a pro gay and lgbtq group. Again a horrible look. Hmm that doesn’t look or sound very good.  This candidate is very good on Israel, energy, ending wars, the border and the economy.  This candidate also appointed many conservative judges including three on the Supreme Court. See the conundrum.  The moving away from traditional Biblical values is frightening to me.  But in the final analysis a candidate that loves America and wants the best for its people and is pro freedom of speech and religion is a big plus.  

In the final analysis one Party and candidate is an absolute NO for moral and ethical reasons.  The other Party and candidate have major flaws, yes major, but is by far the best hope for America at this time. Do I wish a more conservative Godly man or woman were running? Absolutely!!  Is he going to save America? No! Only a true spirit of repentance, and a return to our Godly roots will be the only hope for us.  We are on the brink of destruction.  This is the most important election in our history.  Will we still be a nation after this election, yes but what kind?

I will vote for Trump with my nose pinched and hope for better days.  Which quite honestly I have done for almost all Presidential elections in my lifetime. The saddest part of this composition is the fact that if close to one-half of our country truly will vote for the democratic “Demonic Duo”, we have lost the status of “A Christian Nation”.  

The truth is we are not voting for a Pastor, but the leader of the free world!  A Samson who takes the jaw bone of a donkey and destroys the enemies of the United States of America.  

If my people…will return to me saith the Lord! 2 Chronicles 7:14. Rh

Trump’s Abortion Pivot Sparks Outcry: ‘This Is Wrong … And We Cannot Be Silent’

By Suzanne Bowdey

The shock hasn’t worn off for pro-lifers, who continue to watch with dismay as Donald Trump and his Catholic running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), seem to publicly disavow years of conservative principles on the unborn. Reaction is still pouring inover the former president’s tweet that his administration would be “great” for “reproductive rights,” a euphemism for abortion that many see as a devastating surrender in itself. It would be one thing, the editors of National Review wrote, “for a Republican candidate for national office to say that a federal law against abortion is unattainable, or even undesirable,” given the current political realities. But at this point, they continue, “pro-lifers have to wonder if there’s any difference left between the parties on abortion.”

Of course, as veterans of the movement know, the warning signs loomed large well before July’s Republican National Convention, when Trump’s inside circle hinted that abortion would no longer be an issue of common concern but a political inconvenience that the former president would try to avoid at all costs. The ensuing party platform cemented those fears, shredding paragraphs of pro-life vision and values in exchange for four sentences that promised merely to “oppose Late Term Abortion” and support mothers.

Even that seems to be in doubt after Vance’s Sunday interview, in which he walked back any support for a 15-week federal threshold for abortion, which is past the point unborn babies can feel pain. Asked whether or not he would commit to not “impos[ing] a federal ban on abortion,” Vance replied, “I can absolutely commit that.” He continued, “I think it’s important to step back and say, ‘What has Donald Trump actually said on the abortion question, and how is it different from what Kamala Harris and the Democrats have said?’ Donald Trump wants to end this culture war over this particular topic.”

In what appears to be a big departure from Trump’s first term as president, Vance wouldn’t even commit to the 45th president’s former positions — which, until recently, were considered the bare minimum of bipartisan federal policy: blocking taxpayer-funded abortion at home and abroad, stopping the military’s war on the unborn, and ending the shipment of abortion pills to pro-life states.

It is terribly troubling the “new stance” of Trump on abortion. We all knew it was coming but still deeply concerned of a move away from Moral Conservative values. We always have to compromise. We are used to it, but still not happy about it. Rh

Free Abortions Offered to DNC Attendees – Pro-Lifers Criticize the ‘Shout Your Abortion’ Agenda

Can the Democratic Party get any lower on the morality pole than this? I wonder if the powers that be in the Democratic socialist party of America, have any exceptions to abortion on demand? What if a baby is born alive, would you save the life of that child? About 92% of all abortions performed in America are done for convenience, not because of the life of the mother being in danger, rape or incest.

Unfortunately, the Republican Party is taking a similar track. It barely mentioned pro life in their platform for 2024. And in fact, the standard bearer of the Republican Party Donald Trump, has blamed pro-lifers for the defeats of some of the candidates. He endorsed in the midterms in 2022. He seems to want to make it a state issue. Well I would agree with him on that if we were not for the fact that when you take the life of a child, it is called murder. This country should never allow a baby to be ripped apart and killed in the process of abortion.

I pray that America will soon return to its spiritual roots and rebuild the foundation of a nation born on Judeo Christian values. God help us all if we do not. Rh

Nobodies are Somebodies in Christ

So, you consider yourself a nothing and a nobody? Regardless, you must not excuse yourself from the high calling of God on your life because you think you are a “nothing.” In God’s eyes, being a nothing is an improvement over “anyone [who] thinks he is something when he is nothing” (Gal. 6:3). Remember, God created the universe out of nothing.

We all have value. Find yours and make this world a better place. Who knows what could happen when we reflect the glory of God. Be salt, be light, be different than the world around you. Rh

‘Evangelicals for Harris’ Targets Conservative Christians with New Media Spot 

By David Brody CBN News

Let me just say this….if you are an Evangelical and you vote for Kamala, you need to repent. Flat out get to an altar. Rh

CBN News has learned that a newly formed group, Evangelicals For Harris, will drop their first media spot Wednesday in an effort to win over some “on-the-fence” Conservative Evangelicals in swing states who are lukewarm when it comes to Donald Trump.  

The videos will start on social media and eventually make their way to TV in certain swing states. Specifically, and most interestingly, Evangelicals For Harris will be targeting conservative Christian media websites. The group already has over 200,000 Evangelical Christians who have signed a pledge to volunteer and vote for the Harris/Walz ticket.  

Donald Trump won a hefty majority of the conservative evangelical vote. However, typically elections are won at the margins, especially in the seven key swing states. Evangelicals for Harris is using this strategy in hopes of eventual victory. If history has something to say, it may work. 
 
In 2008, Barack Obama received 26% of the White Born Again Evangelical Vote and won. In 2016, Hillary Clinton received 16% of the White Born Again Evangelical Vote and lost. In 2020, Joe Biden received 24% of the White Born Again Evangelical Vote and won. So if Kamala Harris gets 20% or more of the White Born Again Evangelical Vote, Trump could very well lose the General Election to Harris.
