Inspiration That Could Save America

October 24, 2024

There is always an October surprise in every election, and we may have just experienced it. More on that later.

The presidential campaigns are deploying resources and crafting messages to clarify the choice before us. Former President Donald Trump spent half an hour as a McDonald’s employee, effectively turning it into “Donald’s” as he served Pennsylvania families burgers and fries. At a rally in the same state, steel workers gathered around him and gave him a hard hat, insisting that Trump saved the steel industry. Then Trump showed his support of the American people by attending an NFL game. The stadium erupted in chants of “USA! USA!”

Stirring Believers to Become Engaged Citizens

October 23, 2024

According to Dr. Del Tackett, “Just having a worldview is not sufficient because God calls us to be stewards in this world that He has placed us in, and that means we have to be engaged with the world around us.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tackett encourages listeners that now is not the time to be passive when it comes to the issues at stake in the public square, and we must stand firm on God’s Word in all matters. Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

To Be Salt and Light, We Must Be Involved in America’s Elections

October 17, 2024

The polls are shifting again. The race is still a toss-up, but virtually every poll shows former President Donald Trump with the momentum.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has adopted a new tone. It started with a joy, joy, joy vibe. Now, the emphasis is fear, fear, fear. Harris labels Trump “dangerous.” Her surrogates compare him to Hitler. After two serious assassination attempts on Trump, this rhetoric could inspire more violence. Please pray for the safety of Trump and Harris.
