| PERKINS: The Warning Lights Are On |
| by Tony Perkins |
| What do you do when one of the warning indicators lights up on your dashboard or your car's computer screen? Ignoring it can be costly. In fact, I saw a survey that revealed 30% of people either overlooked or ignored the indicator altogether. Only about 50% of drivers acknowledged the warning and knew what it meant. Just like failing to heed those signs can lead to a breakdown, we, as a country, are facing cultural warning indicators that we can't afford to ignore. |

| by Ben Johnson |
| With the 2024 presidential election less than two months away, a new survey shows Protestant pastors are increasingly uncomfortable discussing their political views.

| Pastor's Stumble Serves as Solemn Warning to All Christians |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Sin can trip up any Christian, given the right opportunity. This past week, Pastor Steve Lawson was "removed indefinitely from all ministry activities at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas" due to "an inappropriate relationship that he has had with a woman," the church elders announced on their website. "This is a really tragic story," said David Closson, director of Family Research Council's Center for Biblical Worldview, on "Washington Watch" last week. It serves as "a warning not just for ministry leaders and pastors, but for all of us who are following the Lord." |

| Tony Dungy Calls Out Harris: 'What Faith Says a Baby in the Womb Is Not a Life?' |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Vice President Kamala Harris, who is also the official 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, posted on X last week, "One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree: The government, and certainly Donald Trump, should not be telling a woman what to do with her body." In other words, Harris believes you can have faith and abortions - no big deal, right? Except, this is a big deal. |

| Kentucky Gov. Unilaterally Banned 'Conversion Therapy' for Politics, Nothing Else |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| There are many possible reasons for a governor to issue an executive order. A law passed by the legislature may require it. A temporary emergency may require a rapid response to maintain order or preserve a constitutional system. New scientific revelations may require changes in laws previously passed. Or it could be pure politics. In one recent case, only the last possibility holds true. |

| by Sarah Holliday |
| The upcoming presidential election is just a little over a month away, and the American people are on the edge of their seats. After two assassination attempts on Republican nominee Donald Trump, President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race, Vice President Kamala Harris's decision to run, and a series of twists and turns in between, the results of this election are anyone's guess. However, to ensure a fair and trustworthy outcome, experts and watchdogs have been putting pressure on states to uphold election integrity. In many cases, U.S. states have done just that. |

| Harris 'Bails' on Historic Catholic Charity Dinner with Trump |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| For decades, both the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees have traditionally attended and spoken at the Catholic Archdiocese of New York's annual Al Smith dinner, a white-tie charity event benefitting children's charities affiliated with the archdiocese. But for the first time in 40 years, one of the presidential candidates is declining the prestigious invitation. On Saturday, Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign confirmed that she would not be attending the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner. Her opponent, former President Donald Trump, still plans to make an appearance. |
