Dear Friend,
Welcome to the Friday Five! Every Friday we
share our top five articles, stories, and quotes for you to read and
share with your friends and church families.
We would be very grateful if you could make
a donation of $100, $50, $25, or $10 today towards our work
producing these Friday Fives and fighting for your values on the
public square!
1. GO VOTE: Can you prioritize voting in
the 2024 primary run-off election today?
Early voting started yesterday, and NC Republicans have an
important choice to make in the Lieutenant Governor run-off election.
The winner will face off against Democrat Rachel Hunt whose primary
reason for running for office, according to her, is to promote
abortion. We have endorsed Hal Weatherman over Jim
O’Neill as the family values candidate for the Republican run-off.
We have also endorsed Brad Knott in the primary
run-off because he boldly proclaims his support for family values
which are rooted in his Christian faith. Professionally he has
prosecuted drug cartel cases and will also be strong on crime, border
security, and trafficking.
Run-offs typically have a low-voter turnout. We ask you to
make voting in this election a priority.

2. NC VALUES: The short session
has begun
Earlier this week, the NC General Assembly returned to Raleigh to
begin the 2024 legislative short session.
The “short session” is so-called because it permits only minimal
legislative action, and with an expected end coming July 31st, it is
shorter than the normal legislative session.
Our team has been busy working behind the scenes in preparation for
the session. Click here to read about our legislative priorities.

3. WATCH: Corrie Shepherd's address
to the Alamance-Burlington School System
Earlier this week Corrie Shepherd, our Operations Manager &
Grassroots Field Coordinator, spoke to the ABSS School board regarding
her concerns with the implementation of the Telehealth system in
schools, the erosion of parental rights, and the financial impact to
taxpayers. Please take a few minutes to listen on these important
topics that can and will impact all of us.

4. THE HILL: Planned Parenthood
to spend $10M in North Carolina
"A political arm of Planned Parenthood is launching a $10 million
voter engagement campaign in North Carolina to elect candidates in
favor of abortion rights this year as reproductive rights surge
further into the 2024 spotlight. Organizers will be knocking on more
than a million doors this cycle as part of the $10 million push from
Planned Parenthood Votes! South Atlantic, Planned Parenthood Votes and
Planned Parenthood Action PAC NC."

5. CAROLINA JOURNAL: Foxx lashes out
against Title IX rewrite
“'The Department of Education has placed Title IX, and the decades
of advancement and protections for women and girls that it has
yielded, squarely on the chopping block,' said Congresswoman Foxx in a
press release. 'This final rule dumps kerosene on the already raging
fire that is Democrats’ contemptuous culture war that aims to
radically redefine sex and gender. The rule also undermines existing
due process rights, placing students and institutions in legal
jeopardy and again undermining the protections Title IX is intended to
provide. Evidently, the acceptance of biological reality, and the
faithful implementation of the law, are just pills too big for the
Department to swallow – and it shows.' The language of the Title IX
rewrite broadens the definition of sex to include 'gender identity'
rather than being restricted to biological sex."

Weekly Prayer: NC Officials
LORD, you also have instructed us to pray for our governing
officials, and we come to you in the spirit of this petition. We pray
for our state government and its executive, legislative, and judicial
servants. May they indeed be servants unto the people, and govern in a
manner that protects liberty and virtue. In the same spirit, we pray
for public servants across our local governments. May they all heed
your mandate in Romans 13:4 to be in positions of authority as "God's
servant" and for the "good" of the public. They govern in what we
confess are difficult times. May they plead with you to give them
wisdom, and may your grace to govern wisely be poured out on
them.
Protect us from the oppression and loss of freedoms that other
countries have experienced, and help us to value and preserve freedom,
which we know comes only from You.
"I have indeed seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I
have heard their groaning and have come down to set them free." Acts
7:34
Amen
