SPECIAL REPORT: The 2020 Election and What's at Stake
The 2020 Election, What's at Stake
I have written and compiled quite a bit concerning the upcoming election. Here is a guide to some of the articles.
The Path Before Us, What's at Stake

In just a few hours Americans will not only choose a President, they will choose the course for this nation’s future. To say that this election is important would be a huge understatement. In this issue I lay out a few of the things that are at stake. Yet many people will not vote. They will say things like “my vote doesn’t matter,” but it does! They may even spiritualize their lack of participation saying “God will raise up the leaders.” Let me tell you though – He HAS! In a Representative Republic they are US! (read more)
Church in America, Wake Up!
[click to read]
On the eve of the 2020 Presidential Election, Pastor Gary delivers a sermon to challenge the church in America to “wake up!” Our nation is at a crossroads and our only hope is for Christians to stand for righteousness and vote our values! To be disengaged and apathetic will result in the advancement of a liberal, progressive, demonic-inspired agenda that is bent on the destruction of America. Christians need to wake up and realize that we are in a spiritual battle for the heart and soul of our nation and the heart and soul of the next generation. Stand up for righteousness! Stand up for truth! And let your voices be heard for the glory of God! (read more)
Staring into the Abyss
[read more]
By Father Ed Meeks
I mentioned to you for the past two Sundays that I’m going to be speaking today on the November third election and want to give you a little heads-up as I begin. I will be going a little bit long this morning because I have a lot of ground to cover. This will be for me personally the 14th presidential election I will have voted in since reaching the age of majority. And this one is unlike anything I have ever seen. I actually said the same thing about the last election in 2016, but the events of the last four years and in fact of the past six or seven months have cast this upcoming election in a whole new and ever more dire light. I believe that at this moment in time and history you and I find ourselves as part of a society that is staring into the abyss. And it how our nation votes on November the third will determine whether we collectively step off the cliff into that abyss or step back from it, if only temporarily. (read more)

Hate Didn’t Elect Donald Trump; People Did
By Victoria Sanders
Over the summer, my little sister had a soccer tournament at Bloomsburg University, located in central Pennsylvania. The drive there was about three hours and many of the towns we drove through shocked me. The conditions of these towns were terrible. Houses were falling apart. Bars and restaurants were boarded up. Scrap metal was thrown across front lawns. White, plastic lawn chairs were out on the drooping front porches. There were no malls. No outlets. Most of these small towns did not have a Walmart, only a dollar store and a few run down thrift stores. In almost every town, there was an abandoned factory.
My father, who was driving the car, turned to me and pointed out a Trump sign stuck in a front yard, surrounded by weeds and dead grass. “This is Trump country, Tori,” He said. “These people are desperate, trapped for life in these small towns with no escape. These people are the ones voting for Trump.” (read more)

There are no odd couples anymore. In an age of heightened partisanship and unsparing vitriol, it is conventional wisdom that if you are a conservative, you cannot pal around with a liberal. And if you are a liberal, you can have nothing in common with a conservative.
Not so Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia. (read more)
Will the Church Just Sing Louder?
[cick to read]
In his book When A Nation Forgets God Dr. Erwin Lutzer recounts the following testimony of a German Christian: “I lived in Germany during the Nazi Holocaust. I considered myself a Christian. We heard stories of what was happening to Jews, but we tried to distance ourselves from it because what could we do to stop it. A railroad track ran behind our small church and each Sunday morning we could hear the whistle in the distance, and then the wheels coming over the tracks. We became disturbed when we heard the cries coming from the train as it passed by. We realized that it was carrying Jews like cattle in the cars. Week after week the whistle would blow. We dreaded to hear the sound of those wheels because we knew that we would hear the cries of the Jews in route to a death camp. Their screams tormented us. We knew the time the train was coming, and when we heard the whistle blow, we began singing hymns. By the time the train came past our church, we were singing at the top of our voices. If we heard the screams, we sang more loudly and soon we heard them no more.” And then the eyewitness shared with Pastor Lutzer, “ Although years have passed, I still hear the train whistle in my sleep. God forgive me, forgive all of us who called ourselves Christians and yet did nothing to intervene.” (read more)
The Flight of the Phoenix Election
By Bob Kirchman
In the last election, an article appeared comparing the urgency of the election to the situation facing the passengers on flight 93 on September 11, 2001. It’s then anonymous author, ‘Publicus,’ made a great point. Too often Conservatives approached the dangers facing the republic with not enough of a sense of urgency. The 2016 election was indeed of grave importance. But now it is 2020 and the urgency of the situation has only become more pronounced. After the country seemed to be taking a better course the pandemic and civil unrest threw sand in the engine of recovery. Here we are, much like the cast of Flight of the Phoenix, stuck in a bad place. (read more)
We've Got a Country to Save

The United States has always been a home for those suffering under socialist regimes across the world, but all of that is at great risk in the hands of today’s Democratic Party run by Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and AOC. Written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker, scholar, and New York Times bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza, Trump Card is an exposé of the socialism, corruption and gangsterization that now define the Democratic Party. Whether it is the creeping socialism of Joe Biden or the overt socialism of Bernie Sanders, the film reveals what is unique about modern socialism, who is behind it, why it’s evil, and how we can work together with President Trump to stop it.
