Pro-Life Group to Reach 7 Million Swing State Voters, Spend $52 Million to Reelect Trump

Pro-Life Group to Reach 7 Million Swing State Voters, Spend $52 Million to Reelect Trump


A leading national pro-life group said Wednesday it will reach 7 million voters across battleground states before Election Day as part of a $52 million budgeted effort to reelect President Trump and other pro-life candidates.

Susan B. Anthony List and its partner super political action committee (PAC), Women Speak Out, said the effort will reach 7 million voters prior to Nov. 3 via mail, on the Internet, and in person. That’s an increase from the 4 million the organization previously estimated would be reached. 

Susan B. Anthony List is the same pro-life organization that has hosted Vice President Pence at “Life Wins!” events, highlighting the administration’s pro-life record as well as the work of crisis pregnancy centers. 

“The pro-life grassroots are more enthusiastic than ever before and eager to ensure President Trump and Vice President Pence have another four years to continue their pro-life agenda,” said Mallory Quigley, national spokeswoman for Women Speak Out PAC. “The Democratic Party’s support for abortion on-demand, paid for by taxpayers is extreme, wrong, and deeply unpopular — even among rank and file Democrats. As we begin our final push to Election Day, our team is working hard to reach not only pro-life Republicans but Democrats and Independents across all demographics in key battleground states.

“Abortion extremism has been, and…

Repent of Democratic Support or ‘Face the Fires of Hell,’ Catholic Priest Warns

Repent of Democratic Support or ‘Face the Fires of Hell,’ Catholic Priest Warns


Father James Altman, a pastor from St. James the Less Catholic parish in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, is urging Catholics not to support the Democratic Party, which he labeled as ‘godless.’

According to Religion News Service, Altman’s remarks were made in a video that was published last week by Alpha News, an online news outlet based in Minnesota. At the time of this writing, the video has nearly 400,000 views.

“Here’s a memo to clueless baptized Catholics out there: You cannot be Catholic and be a Democrat. Period,” Altman asserted.

“Their party platform absolutely is against everything the Catholic church teaches,” he added. “So just quit pretending that you’re Catholic and vote Democrat. Repent of your support of that party and its platform or face the fires of hell.”

As Altman speaks, the video cuts to images of prominent Democrats including professing Catholics, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. The photo of Pelosi shows her speaking at an abortion rally.

“And so, we can see in the many godless politicians, in the godless educational system, in the godlessness of so many ‘sheeples,’ they are most definitely not serving him, they are not fulfilling their purpose in life,” Altman contended.

Regarding people who don’t believe that politics have a place in the Catholic church, Altman says “baloney.”

President Trump Receives Nobel Peace Prize Nomination

President Trump Receives Nobel Peace Prize Nomination


President Trump has just been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by Norwegian Parliament-member Christian Tybring-Gjedde. The reason? President Trump brokered a historic peace agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel.

According to Tybring-Gjedde, “As it is expected other Middle Eastern countries will follow in the footsteps of the UAE, this agreement could be a game-changer that will turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity,” he wrote in his nomination.

Tybring-Gjedde also told the Associated Press that “No matter how Trump acts at home and what he says at press conferences, he has absolutely a chance at getting the Nobel Peace Prize.”

The historic United Arab Emirates-Israel peace deal is the first step toward complete peace between the three countries, and they have all promised to have a “full normalization of relations.”

In a statement released by President Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Mohammed Bin Zayed, they said the agreement will “chart a new path that will unlock the great potential in the region.” Delegates will be meeting to sign agreements brokering deals on mutual tourism, investment, healthcare, embassies, and other aspects.

The statement reads in part:

As a result of this diplomatic breakthrough and at the request of President Trump with the support of the United Arab Emirates, Israel will suspend declaring sovereignty over areas…

62 Percent of Americans Say Jesus Is Returning to ‘Judge’ Everyone, Poll Shows

62 Percent of Americans Say Jesus Is Returning to ‘Judge’ Everyone, Poll Shows


Two-thirds of Americans say they believe the Bible’s account about Jesus’ bodily resurrection, although most also deny Scripture’s teaching that He was God, according to a new LifeWay Research survey that shows adults in the U.S. holding conflicting views on Christianity and theology.

The State of Theology survey, conducted by LifeWay Research and sponsored by Ligonier Ministries, shows that 66 percent of U.S. adults say they believe the “biblical accounts of the physical (bodily) resurrection of Jesus are completely accurate” and that the event “actually occurred.” Another 62 percent believe Jesus will return in the future to “judge all the people who have lived.”

A large majority (65 percent) believe God is a perfect being and cannot make a mistake, and 72 percent affirm the biblical doctrine of the Trinity, that “there is one true God in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit,” according to the survey’s wording.

But while Americans affirm several major teachings of historic Christianity, they also deny some of its core doctrines. For example, 55 percent say they believe “Jesus is the first and greatest being created by God,” and 52 percent believe “Jesus was a great teacher, but he was not God.” Both statements conflict with the Bible’s affirmation of Christ’s deity and eternality as taught in such passages as

Another Christian Sentenced to Death in Pakistan on Weak Blasphemy Charges

Another Christian Sentenced to Death in Pakistan on Weak Blasphemy Charges


LAHORE, Pakistan, September 8, 2020 (Morning Star News) – A court in Lahore, Pakistan today (Sept. 8) sentenced a Christian to death over charges that he allegedly sent “blasphemous” text messages to a Muslim colleague seven years ago, his lawyer said.

Asif Pervaiz, a 37-year-old father of four, has been in jail for seven years since he was charged with blasphemy in October 2013 after his former supervisor at a garment factory, Saeed Ahmed Khokhar, accused him of sending sacrilegious text messages from his cell phone, attorney Saiful Malook said.

Pervaiz was charged under sections 295-A, 295-B and 295-C of the blasphemy laws, he said, with the latter, insulting the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, carrying a mandatory death sentence. The court ruled that Pervaiz would first serve a three-year prison term for phone misuse, be fined 50,000 rupees (US$300) and be “hanged by his neck til his death.”

Pervaiz has maintained that his supervisor accused him only after he refused to convert to Islam. Malook said the prosecution’s case was so weak that he could not fathom why the judge had ruled against his client.

Malook, a Muslim who represented Aasiya Noreen (known as Asia Bibi), also sentenced to death before she won her freedom, said that the ruling by Additional Sessions Judge Mansoor Ahmed Qureshi dismayed him because there was no evidence to justify the charges.

Pervaiz has said…

More than 2K Christians gather in ‘worship protest’ after they are shut out of Seattle park

Worshipers in the streets of Seattle on Labor Day 2020 | Facebook/Sean Feucht

More than 2,000 Christians gathered in the streets of Seattle in a “worship protest” Monday in defiance of public officials, who shuttered a local park to prevent them from participating in a prayer rally organized by missionary and political activist Sean Feucht.

The rally was supposed to take place in Gas Works Park by Seattle Parks and Recreation but officials abruptly announced the park would be closed all day Monday “due to anticipated crowding that could impact the public health of residents.”

Despite efforts to keep the rally from happening, Feucht announced on Facebook Tuesday that their worship session led to miracles and baptisms in a session that lasted about two hours.

“They shut the park, so we took the WORSHIP PROTEST to the streets!! The church of Seattle WILL NOT be silenced! Over 2000 took to the streets and GOD LIT THE PLACE UP with miracles, baptisms, salvations, racial reconciliation (with the police!) and HOPE!!” Feucht wrote.

Feucht, who has helped local pastors host 19 prayer rallies in defiance of coronavirus guidelines in 19 cities over the last eight weeks, told KIRO 7…

The greatest player of his generation supports suicide awareness: Suicide Prevention Week and the help and hope we need

The best player of his generation has been recognized as one of the best people in sports.

Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout has been named the American League’s Most Valuable Player three times and is an eight-time All-Star. Wikipedia lists twenty-eight different awards and recognitions he has received. He has been likened to baseball immortals Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle. 

His team lost to my hometown Texas Rangers last night, but Trout had two hits in the game. This is unsurprising, since he hit eleven home runs against us last year, setting a record for the most an opponent has ever hit against us in a single season. 

Now he is being honored not just for his athletic brilliance but for his personal character. The Angels have nominated Trout for the Roberto Clemente Award, which annually recognizes the Major League Baseball player who best represents the game through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy, and positive contributions on and off the field. 

Trout and his wife, Jessica, have made suicide and mental health awareness one of their main causes. This after the suicide of Jessica’s brother, former minor league player Aaron Cox, in 2018. 

The Trouts are partnering with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. He explained that the issue “obviously hits close, with Aaron’s passing. Mental health is real, especially during this pandemic. A lot of people are going through it; it’s a struggle. Just raising awareness.” 

Why a thirty-four-year-old nurse committed suicide

Suicide Prevention Week began Sunday and continues through Saturday. It is part of the annual National Suicide Prevention Month. 

Mike Trout is right: mental health issues are indeed real, especially…

10 Reasons to Use the Telephone Rather than Email in Ministry

I appreciate email, especially because I can communicate with people around the world at the touch of the “send” button. So, I’m not arguing against using email. I’m arguing that there are still good reasons to use the telephone when doing ministry. Here’s why:

  1. The telephone often takes less time. I can usually ask a question, and get an answer more rapidly over the phone than I can by typing, sending, receiving, and responding to multiple emails. 
  2. A voice can exude passion much more than an email can. If you want to convince someone to join you in a ministry task, you’re more likely to show your fire for the task in a phone call than in an email. Urgency in a voice goes a long way. 
  3. Emails can be easily misread. We’ve all spent far too many hours explaining and re-explaining emails that recipients misunderstood. All the emojis in the world can’t take care of what a simple phone call can. 
  4. An email can’t always do what ministry requires. An email in a time of grief or anger or questioning or fear might be a start, but it’s seldom the best way to minister to someone who needs to hear a comforting word. 
  5. Ministry is about people . . . with names . . . and faces . . . and voices. Frankly, I have friends with whom I communicate often, but whose voice I haven’t heard in years. Even I as write these words, I realize that I’ve been missing a bit of who they are. 
  6. A telephone call is almost unexpected now. We’ve become so accustomed to emailing that a phone call…

Minn. pastor says its OK for parents to give kids a ‘good spanking’ for discipline

A column published last Saturday on theologian John Piper’s Christian theology website, Desiring God, by a Minnesota pastor argues that a “good spanking” should be an option for parents who want to discipline their children.

Sam Crabtree, a small group pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis who authored the 2019 book Parenting with Loving Correction, wrote in response to critics who oppose spanking and other forms of corporal punishment as methods of discipline for children. 

While describing spanking opponents as “well-intended” with “valid concerns,” Crabtree argued that there is such a thing as “good spanking” when parents opt to discipline their children.

“… [M]any who oppose spanking sweep all corporal punishment into a single bucket without distinguishing between wise and foolish parental correction, as if factors like timing, dose, implement, and advance instruction make no difference,” wrote Crabtree, a former public school teacher and who serves as chairman of the board of the Bethlehem College & Seminary. 

“Just as bad preaching doesn’t disqualify all pulpits, and bad writing doesn’t mean we should banish publishing, and a bad haircut doesn’t mean you should go Nazarite, so bad spanking doesn’t mean there isn’t good spanking.”

Crabtree went on to contend that a “good spanking” involves applying “a predetermined amount of physical pain in direct response to a child’s defiance.”

“Defiance starts in the heart and works its way out into…
