A colleague of ours went to a theater this past weekend to see a film written and directed from a Christian viewpoint. But she was shocked to be subjected to 20 minutes of rated-R movie trailers that depicted extreme sexuality and highly demonic activity. Not only that, but her parents, who were with her, were also subjected to this blatant evil. Now they can’t un-see what they saw!

We’ve come to the point in America where we don’t know when we’re going to be gobsmacked with radical, degenerate, or perverse deeds or “lifestyles.” Not long ago, we would never have even dreamed of something so extreme as transgenderism. Now we see a supposedly “transgender” person becoming a star on the TikTok app then being promoted by an iconic beer brand. Thankfully, Americans reacted big time, and this “woke” corporation is losing money hand over fist. We can’t allow this radical agenda to overcome Christian and American ideals.

Historically, America was a top missionary-sending country. While the church here still sends missionaries, they are few. Now, countries and continents the American church once evangelized are so repulsed by what they see in our land that they find it necessary to send gospel truth tellers to our shores.

In Jesus’ most famous sermon, He called us to be salt and light (Matt. 5: 13-16), preserving good and dispelling darkness. We must call on the leadership in the church and in our nation to come up higher and not let the rising tide of evil overwhelm our great nation.

Here in Washington, we are thankful to be able to engage with leaders in Congress through prayer times, Bible studies (now two in the Capitol!), and in myriad other ways.

The simple reading of Scripture is also powerful. We are working on two live events for the reading of the Word, the U.S. Capitol Bible Reading Marathon on April 22-26 and the Congressional Bible Reading on April 25. Read on to learn more and be sure to volunteer if you live in or near the capital and can participate! (Call Faith & Liberty to sign up at 202-737-1776).

We are grateful for your kind and generous support!
