Friends, the stakes in this election are enormous. The fate of our country and the future of religious liberty are on the line. To defend our values, we are partnering with various allies, including Lindsey Communications, The Lindsey Foundation, Faith Wins and the Pacific Justice Institute to empower the resurgence of the Church Vote. Below is their latest alert. Please share the resources included here with your church leaders and fellow worshippers. – Gary

Comm #10: This is That One Country

Good morning, and may God truly bless you in a surprising way today. Joan here, and you are on my mind today. The four of us in our small coalition, the many in our Standing With coalition, and a host of others have grown in our love for you, our commitment to uphold you, and our thrilling pride in you as you lead the Church.

You're leaders of the Church in the one country that was founded to bring the gospel to new shores, the country that has kept that legacy through our Founding era when our Scripturally based Constitution was written, and now you are continuing that leadership of the Church today in the one country the world is now intently watching to see whether or not we can keep it on track.

We can, and we will, and that victory lies with the Church. Frankly, it is a major thrill to us to watch leaders like you find their big voice. The deception that has been woven around you to keep you silent! Ugh! Honestly!

The left had nearly succeeded in that until this administration halted the enforcement of consequences of the old Johnson Amendment, which had clamped the lid down on the Church’s ability to weigh in on the selection of government leaders. Let’s just say, it was perhaps well meant. But let’s just say it was definitely so wrong.

You have now once again been supported by the laws of the land to speak out, and to lead. You CAN. But, if you have a question, please consult coalition member, Brad Dacus' list of ‘Do’s and Don’ts’ here ([link removed]) . We gave you this list in a previous comm, but wanted you to have it at-hand again.

If anyone tells you that you can't engage in government, please remind them of the Bible's view; it is the right and absolute duty of men and women of faith to raise up Godly leaders, to strive to install them in positions of leadership, to use the privilege of their vote, and then to support those leaders they installed.

And if anyone sends you a legal "stinker" letter, please call our coalition member, Brad Dacus and the Pacific Justice Institute at (916) 857-6900, or one of the pro bono law firm numbers in this link ([link removed]) , and let them sort it for you.

You are the premier leaders here in this country. Of all voices, we want to hear yours. What a deception indeed, that you've been told by the left to separate your faith away from our country's leadership. It has been an outrage that has been given great relief by the support of religious freedom this administration has restored into the life of our country.

By the way, I wonder if you know that this administration founded a Commission on International Religious Freedom? Early on, it was founded, and its members report to the President as they ensure the rights of believers around the world to live their faith in God.

And there's more good news, much more. It kills me to think our country has been so ill-served by the corporate media who won't tell you many of these things. They've been called out the last four years. They hate that exposure and would love to see it stop. So their bias has been in full bloom, and they don't seem to mind being free with "facts."

They know the Church spoke up and voted in 2016, and it's the one voice they fear most.

So we pray, and pray…so many people are praying that the voters see through the media's bias and vote. Look at the possible outcome of the vote and you'll know.

One candidate (and his VP candidate) hugely supports abortion, wants to massively grow the size of government, wants very big tax increases, and has an emerging number in his party that embrace the disaster that is Socialism. To name just a few things.

However, the other candidate respects life, respects the Church and seeks its voice, has kept us out of wars, has stopped ISIS cold, and knows how to keep government small so we can be free. He upholds the Constitution and knows it has guided us well.

Here's a link to an excellent Election Guide Comparison Chart ([link removed]) on 8 of the main issues that will give you a far more complete idea about the differences between the candidates and the parties than I possibly can.

The United States is the one country that is the witness to the world of the life with Christ. If every man and woman in the Church will vote, then we rejoice. If you, as leaders, will tell them it is their privilege and duty to vote, they will be encouraged to do so. Please God, we pray our collective voice will be strong.

Much love,

Joan

Hello, pastors! Kielle here, thinking about all that's happened in one, short week since we spoke to you last. Here's what's on my mind today, as we continue to keep you all in steadfast prayer.

Over these past four years, we've enjoyed extraordinary transparency from this presidential administration, which is only highlighting the stark differences between the two choices voters are facing in this very quickly approaching presidential election.

The other candidates in this election have been shockingly less transparent...much quieter - to a point of hiding and refusing to answer questions - than any other I can remember, and probably you, too!

Tough to accurately determine how those candidates would potentially lead, since they won't really tell us of their plans as we head up to election day. That worries me…actually it scares me because the voters are left to assume what they'll do.

We have reason to assume they may well do the worst of what we speculate. Questions on their stances regarding court packing, spending, a coronavirus plan, lockdowns, the AHA, school choice, religious freedom, abortion, socialism…they won't answer, so we don't know what they'll do!

The candidate on the left revealed proposed tax increases this week. They're deeply troubling for citizens at all income levels. If what they've revealed on that one issue is so concerning, imagine what else is to come under the left's leadership that doesn't seem to realistically represent, respect or trust the American people.

During Thursday night's final presidential debate, the left's candidate let slip that they plan to wrap up and phase out the oil industry, and the millions of jobs and independence from reliance on foreign nations with it. That peek into their real agenda, we can only estimate, is the tip of the iceberg of what they're planning.

Not only that, with the uncovering of so much alleged corruption and the media's jump to suppress any sharing of opinions related to this breaking news, what will they do and hide from us? The question arises; what will they take for themselves on the backs of American families, all the while gaining more and more control over our lives?

So we pray the Church will vote.

And, we thank you all for your hard work to educate and empower your congregations to see these critical differences between the options before us. Here's another great and comprehensive platform comparison chart ([link removed]) .

In our last couple of comms to you, we shared links to the best resources our coalition can offer to help you revive the voice of the Church, and to help the Church find its Voice! Here they are again...
