Through the Dobson Policy & Culture Center, we focus on issues related to righteousness in the culture, such as the sanctity of human life, the God-ordained institution of marriage, parental rights, freedom of religion, and other liberties guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
As JDFI has been reporting, the Biden/Harris administration has aggressively pushed the radical transgender ideology in schools and on Christian parents. The Biden Justice Department has fought against states trying to protect children from deforming surgeries and sterilizing chemicals. They were all in on the entire transgender agenda.
Terrible events have a way of testing us and showing us who we are. We saw evidence of this in the horrific shooting of five men this past Saturday, July 13—one famous and four previously unknown.
Proverbs 16:18 tells us, "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall" (NIV). Bud Light and Target learned that lesson last year. Other corporations got the message and scaled back their "Pride" displays last month.
There are many reasons Christians must vote in record numbers this November. Our country will elect a president, one-third of the Senate, and all 435 seats in the House of Representatives. Supreme Court justices are not elected. The president makes nominations, and then they must receive a majority vote in the Senate.

They want to write their names on the wall of athletic immortality. In a word, they want glory.
