by Greg Lancaster

LISTEN NOW! WATCH FULL PROGRAM! Texas Governor Greg Abbott is once again making waves in the faith community as he signs another bill protecting religious freedom. According to the Christian Post, “Abbott signed House Bill 3859 into law on Thursday that seeks to protect religious child welfare agencies from being forced to provide services that go against their convictions.” Specific portions of the bill read; “A child welfare services provider may not be required to provide any service that conflicts with the provider’s sincerely held religious beliefs.” This is so important to be able to make decisions that don’t violate your beliefs and values. It is so exciting to see these actions are taking place in Texas. As the Lord has shared, Texas is a HUB state. See the full report of what is taking place in Texas, and so much more.

Lt. Gen (Ret) Jerry Boykin Fired for Expressing His First Amendment Rights?

by Blogger Import

LISTEN NOW! As an outspoken leader, speaker, and writer, Lt. Gen. (Ret) Jerry Boykinh as made a tremendous impact in many different areas. Because of a recent Facebook post, the General was fired from his position teaching Military Leadership and National Security at Hampden-Sydney College. When more and more voices are calling for changes of transgender people, Boykin has consistently been against it. It was this post, on his Facebook account, “The first man who goes into the restroom with my daughter will not have to worry about surgery” that cost him his job at Hampden-Sydney College. Boykin remained steadfast in what his beliefs were, regardless of the decision from the college.

When any General speaks, they will usually speak their mind. This is also what took place when many gathered in support of Boykin during his firing from Hampden-Sydney. After the outpouring of support for Boykin and protest of the college’s decision, the college reconsidered their decision. Boykin has since been accepted back to the college for another year.

It is so encouraging to see someone stand up for what they believe in, even if it means losing those standing next to you. The only truth that counts is that we are standing with God. When we stand up for God, we are going to face hardship. Life is not about living a long life, but living a meaningful life. If we are speaking something, we should never be speaking something in a hateful manner, but always considerate to speak in love.

Hear the full report of what is taking place with General Boykin, Hampden-Sydney College, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Delta Force, The Coalition, Rick Joyner, Facebook, and faith. Greg and Steve shared in this segment.

WATCH! High School Graduating Class Told They Can’t Say the Lord’s Prayer During Commencement Speech, Ret Lt. Gen Jerry Boykin Fired for Expressing His First Amendment

by Blogger Import

WATCH OR LISTEN NOW!

A 70-year Tradition to say the Lord’s Prayer During Graduation Commencement Stopped after a threat to Remove Funding? Watch how the Graduating Class Responds?

After beginning at a school with a decade’s long tradition, can you imagine it all stopping when it was your time to graduate? That is exactly what took place for the graduating class of East Liverpool High School in East Liverpool, Ohio. East Liverpool has continued the tradition of the graduating class singing the Lord’s Prayer during their commencement ceremony for 70 years. According to WTOV9, the prayer “was removed after the school received a notice from the Wisconsin based group ‘The Freedom Foundation of Separation of Church and State’”. That was all it took.

When President of the Board of Education, Larry Walton was confronted with the issue, he replied, “OK. We’ll just not do it anymore…We don’t have a lot of money, quite frankly we’d rather pay teachers than lawyers.” Considering the quick response from administrators, the graduating seniors weren’t so quick to follow suit. During their commencement ceremony, the entire graduating class responded in their own way. Unaware to all of those in attendance, the class began to share the Lord’s Prayer. As they finished their 70-year tradition, the auditorium was promptly filled with a standing ovation by parents and attendees.

This is such a powerful display of what God is doing in this generation. It is so encouraging to see those who know what their First Amendment right is and to boldly stand up for what they believe in; regardless of who is against them. This generation is beginning to get it. This serves as a reminder to never let anyone say speaking of Jesus is wrong or a bad thing. See how the Vice President of the class responded, more from the administrators, the class carrying out their tradition, and so much more.

“Jesus Never Scolded Anyone for Coming to Him Because They Wanted a Gift…. If you Find His Hand, look Up, He’s Connected” says Bill Johnson, Senior Leader at Bethel

When someone is seeking of a healing from the Lord or particular provision; whether it be a breakthrough in finances, or in the workplace, some may have heard the response, “don’t seek the hand of God but the face of God”. The question is: is that how Jesus responded? In a recent discussion with Bill Johnson, Senior Leader at Bethel, he addresses how Jesus responded to those that came to Him. “Jesus never scolded anyone for coming to Him because they wanted a gift, instead what He did was provide them with a miracle that directed their heart toward the Father…if you find His hand look, His face is right there.”

Jesus never condemned someone for coming to Him. If someone feels condemned for praying, that is not God. If we ever believe the lie that “God has a problem with me” there are plenty of religious people to line up and agree with that lie. God loves each and every one of us. He loves us so much that He gave His Only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us.

When we understand what Jesus Christ has done for us, it changes how we pray. This also is embodied in what Johnson shared regarding his own prayers, “I realized I needed to “put a demand” on what I believed – my risk factor had to line up with the boldness of my beliefs. As I did this there was an immediate change in my ministry and we began to see healing and miracles increase.” If we are not seeing the same effects in our prayer, we have to ask what is hindering us from walking the same as Jesus did. God is not limited in what He can do. But, we can limit ourselves if our dependency is more on our knowledge than upon God.

Israeli Navy Carrying out Exercises to Defend against ISIS seizing one of Their Vessels?

ISIS is carrying acts of terrorism along the border of Egypt and Israel. With their growing presence becoming closer and closer, Israel is now carrying out military training exercises to prepare if ISIS were to seize one of their Navy vessels. With the recent downing of the EgyptAir flight, this threat couldn’t be more real. According to reports, ISIS could have been destroyed a long time ago. It is imperative that we stand with Israel.

7th Grader Boldly Speaks Truth to Power when she explains that her Teacher made Students say “God is a Myth”

by Blogger Import

LISTEN NOW!

When a teacher at a Texas School, West Memorial Junior High, gave an assignment to a classroom of 7^th graders, it caused one student to stand before the school board detailing what took place. Barely taller than the podium, 12 year old, Jordan Wooley, boldly declared her disagreement to what was asked of her by the teacher. The assignment: to put whether “God was a myth or a fact”. When she and other students insisted on the truth that God is a fact, they were sternly argued against by the teacher and then insistently told to defend their statements. Reportedly, one student was so upset as to how the exchange escalated in the classroom, that they knocked their own books to the floor in frustration.

When the Principal of West Memorial Junior High stated to parents her perspective of the events, parents did not aptly accept her claims;“The assignment was not intended for a grade; it was not intended for a grade through the lesson planning or communicated to the students that the assignment was going to be taken for a grade.” A concerned parent quickly rebuttled, “Why did the assignment say on it that it was worth 20 points? That section, did you see it?” The Principal replies, “Yes”. “Why did it say 20 points?” the parent presses. Reportedly, in the Gulf Coast area, specifically, Santa Rosa County School District, there are signs that the Pledge of Allegiance is now optional. What is happening?

This young girl is standing up as a bold voice in this critical hour. Who you say God is, and what you think about God is the most important thing about you. It is so important, that the answer to those two questions affect Eternity. Are we willing to lose a job over our allegiance to Jesus Christ? What about our homes? Just as this young girl stood up; now, more than ever, the Church must stand up for their Lord, Jesus Christ. Watch the full report of what is taking place, and so much more.

The Church is Good but Religion has to GO

A recent article in The Guardian was titled,England’s churches can survive – but the religion will have to go. The “Church” has always been “the people” and only in recent times has the mentality of Church being “the building”. 1 Corinthians 3:9 says, “For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.” Considering the events that we are seeing and facing today, the title of The Guardians’ most recent headline is important to note. Religion is what put Jesus on the Cross. Jesus did not come to save buildings. He came to save souls; people. For those who are hungry for the love and truth of Jesus Christ, this is greatly encouraging!

Some people have allegiance to others and some have allegiance to God. It is important for each of us to be honest with ourselves and ask, why are we doing what we’re doing? John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” God desires relationship so much, that He gave His Son. God is a personal God. We as the Church should be walking in the same way. Being the Church is not as complicated as religion has made it out to be. When the Church, the people, come together and naturally relate, as God has called us to, as family, this is when we see beautiful things in our midst: signs, wonders, healings, the Presence of God, and relationship. Allow your faith to be stirred as you see and hear about the simplicity and the power of what God has designed for each of us to be a part of, and so much more.
