10 Lies
According to Julaine Appling, WFC president, "In general human beings don’t like being lied to." She notes further, "Once we know we’ve been lied to and we have truth to counter the lies, what’s our next step?"
By the numbers, here are some of the lies Julaine addresses in this week's Wisconsin Family Connection radio program.
Find out what the other 5 lies are and how we as Christians should counter them. CLICK HERE to read the transcript or HERE to listen to the audio of the program.
Wisconsin Family Action works hard on your behalf to strengthen, preserve and promote marriage, family, life and religious freedom in The Badger State. Click HERE to partner with us today!
We Will Not Be Silenced
 Our children, our families and our faith are under attack. The question is, what are we doing in our ministries to prepare our people for the onslaught that is being waged against their faith? What are we doing to counter the 24/7 barrage our young people experience via social media and other technology platforms? The attacks on Judeo-Christian values are growing bolder, louder and more relentless on a daily basis.
We honestly believe you need to read We Will Not Be Silenced by Dr. Erwin Lutzer; and the sooner you read it, the better. This is a book every member in your church family would benefit from reading.
The subtitle is “Responding Courageously to Our Culture’s Assault on Christianity.” This is not a book about redeeming the culture, and it is not about winning political battles. Rather, Dr. Lutzer does an outstanding job of identifying key cultural issues confronting Bible-believing churches and individuals, analyzing them biblically, and then encouraging us all to stand and speak firmly and compassionately for the truth.
We reached out to Harvest House about this title and learned that for the month of December, if you purchase 10 copies of this book with a credit card, you can receive a 50% discount off the retail price of $17.99, free shipping, AND one additional copy for free! Email [email protected] or call her at 877-307-0667. Or you can go to HarvestHousePublishers.com and use promo code WE10. (You can also buy a single copy through Amazon HERE). This would be a great book for a small group study.
Diaper Duty: It's For EVERYONE!

TOUR ARRIVING IN MADISON, WI ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 2021
Every year, an average of 130,094 babies die in the Midwest because of the tragedy of abortion. Sometimes, numbers like this are incomprehensible and we don't truly take in the enormity of this loss.
That's why this year Wisconsin Family Council is a proud co-sponsor (along with Pro-life Wisconsin, Wisconsin Right to Life, and Wisconsin Catholic Conference) of the March for Life of Chicago's Moving the Movement Tour, which is helping to collect 130,094 diapers for pregnancy resource centers across the Midwest. Together, we can make a very real difference in the lives of babies and their mothers.
You're invited to bring diapers of any size (we want to help babies throughout their first year) to any of the stops on the March for Life tour. Bring 1 pack or bring 3; each and every one will be a gift to those who receive it!
If you can't attend in person, there is an easy option to donate diapers online!
This is a simple, yet powerful, way to witness to the gift of life and to serve families who need our help. Join us by SAVING THE DATE to joing the march and drop off your diapers in Madison, WI, on Saturday, January 2, 2021. (Place to be determined.)
Register by clicking HERE and you’ll receive updates on logistics, speakers, and more in the coming weeks.
This will be an exciting, strong, pro-life event, that is also safe and will follow COVID guidelines from civil authorities.
CLICK HERE to learn more or to donate diapers securely online.
We'll share more information on time and location as we get closer!
What a Difference One Judge Makes
 Last Wednesday, the US Supreme Court handed down a religious freedom decision in a case arising out of New York. On a 5-4 vote, the justices determined that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo violated the religious liberty, freedom of assembly and freedom of speech of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn as well as a major Jewish congregation in New York City. At issue were COVID restrictions put in place by the governor and his self-determined “essential” and “non-essential” services. Religious congregations were labeled non-essential.
The justices voting in favor of respecting the constitutionally protected religious freedom of these religious organizations were Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett, three of which are Trump appointees. Once again Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the liberal justices. What a powerful reminder that elections have such very real consequences.
