We
would be very grateful if you could make a donation of $100, $50, $25,

fighting for your values on the public square!
1. FOX NEWS: Trump condemns 'heinous
attack' on Capitol calls for 'healing and reconciliation'
“‘Emotions are high now, but tempers must be cooled and
calm restored,’ the president continued. ‘We must get on with the
business of America. My campaign rigorously pursued every legal avenue
to contest the election results. My only goal was to ensure the
integrity of the vote.’
‘My focus now turns to ensuring a
smooth, orderly and seamless transition,’ Trump said,
acknowledging that ‘a new administration’ would be inaugurated Jan.
20. ‘This moment now calls for healing and reconciliation.’
He
noted the struggles ahead mitigating the coronavirus and rebuilding
the economy, calling for unity. ‘It will require all of us working
together. It will require a renewed emphasis on the civic values of
patriotism, faith, charity, community and family.’
‘To the
citizens of our country, serving as your president has been the honor
of a lifetime,’ he continued. ‘To my incredible supporters I know you
are disappointed ... our incredible journey is only just
beginning.’”
2. WSJ: Democrats Take Senate Control
With Georgia Wins
“Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock defeated
Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in Georgia’s two Senate
runoffs. The outcome of the high-profile and costly elections will put
Democrats in control of both chambers of Congress and influence the
scope of President-elect Joe Biden’s legislative agenda.”
3. LIFE ACTION: Abortion pill reversal
creator mocked by abortion advocates while kneeling in prayer
"Doctors often are known by their degrees and accolades.
You could know that about Dr. Matt Harrison, including numerous
patient’s choice awards and compassionate doctor recognition, just to
name a few, but it wouldn’t show you his heart.
Perhaps a
recent photo of Harrison kneeling in prayer on a sidewalk in front of
an abortion center captures him best. Or the comment left by one
patient, 'You won’t find a more pro-life doctor. He truly has a vested
interest in your health.'"
4. FOX NEWS: Biden’s Electoral College
victory certified -- hours after Capitol chaos
“Vice President Mike Pence, who had announced he would
not overturn the will of voters, confirmed the Biden victory at 3:41
a.m. ET.
Lawmakers had returned to the chamber in an act of
defiance, with some Republicans who initially vowed to challenge
states’ results due to voter fraud concerns announcing they'd instead
vote to certify.”
5. DAILY CALLER: Prayer To Open The
117th Congress Ended With ‘Amen And Awoman’
"Democratic Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver ended his
prayer to open up the 117th Congress on Sunday with the words 'amen
and awoman.'"
 WEEKLY PRAYER: NATION
LORD, what a dark day indeed! Our nation is so divided that we
can hear it tearing at the seams. We can see it in the streets, and in
our public square.
We are short of words, because they seem
inept at conveying the loss and lament we are feeling. So we turn to
prayer, where you above all know the meanings of even our
groans.
Forgive the sins of our nation. Bring about an
awakening of repentance, peace, and fellowship. Help us love one
another. Protect our nation's leaders, and protect our Republic. God
Bless America. Come, Lord Jesus.
Amen
