Today, much of America celebrates Halloween.



While most folks do so innocuously – our church held an outreach-oriented
Trunk-or-Treat on Wednesday (I attended as Aquaman) – the “holiday” often
wrongly celebrates the darkness, the ghoulish, and the hellish.



These things are odd to celebrate for many reasons. The most obvious reason,
though, is quite simple: the darkness lost, is losing, and will lose. Whether
“powers of hell” or “schemes of man,” every endeavor of evil will fail to
accomplish its goal.



Our God is too big, too good, and too victorious for anything the Enemy
desires to ultimately come into its grasp.



The Enemy has certainly targeted this ministry. The Left hates us. We have
constant threats from the outside, and there’s a real spiritual warfare to what
we face. Even some who were supposed to partner with and support this ministry
have been used by the Enemy in an all-out attack to try to stop the good work
being done by this organization.



By God’s grace, we are still standing, stronger than ever, and committed to
victory.

The Enemy sought to silence a rising voice in Charlie Kirk. Seeing a growing
movement of young people led by an incredibly bright and articulate leader, the
Left was angry about his influence and impact. A crazed gunman murdered him in
response, used by the Enemy to bring down what he saw as a great threat.



By God’s grace – while we mourn Charlie Kirk – an explosion of Gospel
presentations has occurred, countless people have committed to doing their part
to preserving and expanding Charlie’s impact, and the schemes of the Enemy have
backfired.



Throughout time, this is the pattern we see. Martin Luther was silenced and
excommunicated. Martin Luther King was assassinated. The King of England
tightened his grip on the colonies. Each scheme of the Enemy failed and was,
instead, used by God to result in Gospel proclamation, a greater recognition of
human rights, and the birth of a great nation.



The greatest example, of course, is Jesus Christ, whose heel was bitten yet
crushed the Enemy – dealing a deathblow to the darkness and securing lasting
victory for Himself, a new world, and life everlasting for those He claims.



So why – given Scripture, history, and our own personal experience – do we
ever experience fear of the darkness?



Fear, trepidation, and anxiety all persist within our country, our movement,
and the Church. Even when discussing the future of our state, upcoming
elections, and whether we can preserve what we’ve gained here in Georgia, I
catch myself and others speaking with fear and nervousness.



How foolish!



While God does not promise victories for all our short-term goals, we serve a
King who is good, powerful, and enthroned. No plans against Him or His people
will ultimately succeed, and the story He writes will be far better than what
we could imagine for ourselves.



That’s why, I hope, Frontline never sounds like just another political
organization. Instead, we communicate with hope, with confidence, with urgency
for a great mission, yet with great peace over the will of the King.



Are you committed to preserving this unique voice?



As we choose to celebrate the ultimate defeat of the darkness, will you
support our work to engage the Church in the public square?

Our heart is to see the Church impacting the culture, shaping the policies
that result in human flourishing, and using its prophetic voice to affect
change, bless our neighbor, and bear witness to the King.

$2,360 before midnight tonight!

The darkness will never win, and we will boldly proclaim His victory. As a
final encouragement, I leave you with the lyrics of my favorite song, which can
often be a source of comfort when up against the darkness:



In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand



In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live



There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ



No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand





Victorious,



Cole

PPS. Let me make a personal prayer request. My wife and I are traveling to
Israel today. I humbly ask for your prayers over that trip.



PS. “Frontline” describes two sister organizations: Frontline Policy Council
and Frontline Policy Action. Frontline Policy Council is a 501(c)3 that is tax
deductible and, as such, does not endorse candidates. Frontline Policy Action
is a 501(c)4 organization that is not tax deductible but allows for unlimited
lobbying and the ability to endorse and support our candidates. The two sister
organizations have some branding distinctives and operate accounts but are
committed to the same big, bold, and God-glorifying mission!
