Dear
Friend,
Welcome to the Friday Five! Every Friday we share our top five
articles, stories, and quotes for you to read and share with your
friends and church families.
We would be very grateful if you
could make a donation of $100, $50, $25, or $10 today towards our work
producing these Friday Fives and fighting for your values on the
public square!
1. NC VALUES: We wish you a
Happy New Years!
At the NC Values Coalition, we
just wanted to wish you a happy, healthy, and Christ-focused New
Year!
2. NC VALUES: 🎥 Behind the scenes.
Earlier this week, respected pollster Rasmussen
released the findings of a poll which asked the American public how
many genders they believed existed. Their question was simple: "Do
you agree or disagree with this statement: There are two genders, male
and female."
The results were rather surprising, if you only listen to the woke
mainstream media:
"75% of American Adults agree that there are only
two genders, male and female."
This poll contrasts sharply with what
Hollywood, the woke media, and radical educators would have you
believe.
3. NC VALUES: ⌛ Because values
infinitely matter.
Within these final days of 2021,
your email inbox will become crowded with a number of organizations
asking for your charitable contributions.
Many—if
not most—are likely worthy of your financial support. So as we bring
this year to a close, you may rightly ask yourself "Why support NC
Values?"
To put it shortly, because values
infinitely matter.
As an organization, we at NC
Values are laser-focused on these issues. Each week, when we meet as a
team, it is clear that this is a mission born of our heart and our
God-driven calling. We are genuinely actualizing neighbor-love by
protecting life in the womb, protecting the sovereignty of the family,
and protecting the church and Christian's Gospel liberty.
Friend, with less than two days remaining in the
year, would you consider investing in our work protecting these
invaluable values? Would
you consider making your first donation of $10, $25, 50, or more
BEFORE MIDNIGHT tomorrow
night?
Thanks to a generous donor,
every dollar you donate until the new year will be matched and have
its impact DOUBLED!
4. NJ.COM: N.J. school was wrong
to give survey asking kids about gender identity, ruling
finds
"Parents in Cedar Grove fought and
won a legal battle against the school district for sending out a
survey that asked students as young as 9 about gender identity, and
questions parents said would elicit personal information, such as
sexual behavior and attitudes."
5. CHRISTIAN POST: USA Swimming
official resigns after 30 years, says trans policy is 'destroying' the
sport
“I told my fellow officials that I can
no longer participate in a sport which allows biological men to
compete against women,” Millen wrote in a resignation letter,
according to Swimming World.
“Everything fair about swimming is
being destroyed. If Lia came on my deck as a referee, I would pull the
coach aside and say, ‘Lia can swim, but Lia can swim exhibition or a
time trial. Lia cannot compete against those women because that’s not
fair.’”
 WEEKLY PRAYER: NEW YEARS
LORD, we pray in a manner of gratitude for the year both old
and new. For You alone are the Creator of the earth and the seas. You
are the Knower of the Heart. You wield the gavel of man's judgment.
You are the one true Triune God. You are YHWH, the one who was, and
is, and is to come. The beginning and the end. The one true Master of
our universe.
In your wisdom, and secured within the
hand of your providence, you alone know the number of our days. We can
only count them as we live them.
Father, thank you for every
day we have been granted in the past, and for all those you will give
us in the future. LORD, may we make the most of each and every one.
May they be true treasure to us; for what on earth is more valuable
than time itself? The LORD, who is timeless.
May we
spend much time in 2022 on our knees in honest prayer before the LORD.
And may we spend much time in 2022 on our feet loving our neighbors as
our savior Jesus modeled.
Amen.
Will you chip in $100, $50, $25, or even $10 to help
the NC Values Coalition continue to fight for your rights? You can

Sincerely,
North Carolina Values Coalition
