lifesitenews--2020-11-09--‘Time to heal’? Won’t happen if Americans are convinced Biden stole election

November 9 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Joe Biden spoke of it during his victory-claiming Saturday night speech .
Time Magazine has now made it its new front cover .
It is , we are being told , “ time to heal.
” But will it be that easy ?
And can a party with strong , radical elements lead the way in healing ?
Of course , we still do not know the final outcome of the elections .
There are many court cases to hear and many challenges to review .
And Christians around the country continue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will to be done .
But if it does turn out that Joe Biden is our next president , with Kamala Harris as vice president , can he ( or she ) lead the way in healing a very broken , fragmented , angry nation ?
He said Saturday night , “ Let ’ s give each other a chance put away the harsh rhetoric.
” Yes , he urged , “ Stop treating our opponents as our enemies .
They are not our enemies .
They ’ re Americans.
” I truly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sentiments .
And I believe that there is just as much hatred on the left as there is on the right ( and probably in the middle too ) .
We don ’ t simply differ with each other these days .
We despise each other .
We loathe each other .
We demonize each other .
Would that it were as easy as saying , “ Let ’ s stop being enemies.
” Would that we could simply come together over shared , common values .
Would that we could simply love @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it would be so .
But as long as there are strong beliefs that the election has been stolen , there will be no healing in sight .
Conversely , should the courts overturn the current vote , there will be no healing .
And when crowds dance in jubilation at the defeat of Trump , there will be no healing .
And when BLM and Antifa remain as radicalized as ever , there will be no healing .
And if Biden becomes our next president and seeks to enact many of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would expect him to do , there will be no healing .
And if Biden and Harris continue to advocate for the legal of slaughtering the unborn , there will be no healing .
And if Biden is serious about making transgender rights the civil rights issue of the day , there will be no healing .
( Note his specific mention of “ Gay , straight , transgender ” in his speech . )
Even with something as simple as a national mask mandate , it would only deepen the divide .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Obama administration brought great disunity , rather than healing , to the nation .
The next four years of the Trump administration exponentially deepened those divisions and poured salt into the wounds .
And now , with the most divisive , volatile elections since the Civil War , our divisions and suspicions are even deeper .
On the left , people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are attacking their fellow Democrats for not being radical enough .
Towards the middle-left , the “ moderates ” are criticizing people like AOC for their radical positions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the right , the more the left is perceived as the number-one , existential threat to the future of the nation .
That ’ s why both Republicans and Democrats claimed that this election was about “ the future of America ” or “ the future of our democracy.
” Everyone recognized what was at stake .
And should Donald Trump somehow emerge victorious to serve a second term , I see no hope of healing coming from him , either , barring a change that would be even more miraculous than his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be done ?
To be sure , we should pray that the duly elected next president will be a unifier rather than a divider .
He can set an example of civility while maintaining his convictions .
He can be a man of courage without savaging his opponents .
That would help in part .
But the onus of bringing healing must fall on those who claim to know the Lord .
Those who believe in His values .
Those who truly believe that we are called to stand out from the rest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conduct and our character .
We can stand firm and immovable without being nasty and petty .
We can vote our convictions without engaging in partisan political mud-slinging .
And , with God ’ s help , we can even love our enemies .
We can actually bless those who curse us .
It is a beautifully freeing and transforming experience .
At the very least , we can practice such conduct among ourselves , among our fellow-believers , even in the midst of our inevitable differences and conflicts .
As Paul exhorted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ God ’ s chosen people , holy and dearly loved , clothe yourselves with compassion , kindness , humility , gentleness and patience .
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone .
Forgive as the Lord forgave you .
And over all these virtues put on love , which binds them all together in perfect unity ” ( Colossians 3:12-14 ) .
If you ’ re a Christian , this is a command , not a suggestion .
And while the healing of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a seemingly impossible task , we can seek to bring healing one life at a time .
We can reach out with grace to an offended loved one .
We can send a kind-hearted ( not compromised ) note to an angered friend on social media .
We can forgive from the heart .
We can humble ourselves and ask for forgiveness where we have sinned against others .
To quote Paul again , “ Let no debt remain outstanding , except the continuing debt to love one another , for whoever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The commandments , ‘ You shall not commit adultery , ’ ‘ You shall not murder , ’ ‘ You shall not steal , ’ ‘ You shall not covet , ’ and whatever other command there may be , are summed up in this one command : ‘ Love your neighbor as yourself.
’ Love does no harm to a neighbor .
Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law ” ( Romans 13:8-10 ) .
Again , I appreciate any effort by a political leader to sound a conciliatory note and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I simply realize that with the nature of the divisions that are tearing us apart , true healing will have to come from another source .
May each of us lead the way , not moving an iota from our deeply held convictions and not ceasing to fight for what is right .
But walking in love and living as decent human beings .
Can I count you in ?

Would that it were as easy as saying, 'Let’s stop being enemies.' But as long as there are strong beliefs that the election has been stolen, there will be no healing in sight.

I truly appreciate those words. I applaud those sentiments. And I believe that there is just as much hatred on the left as there is on the right (and probably in the middle too).

And if Biden is serious about making transgender rights the civil rights issue of the day, there will be no healing. (Note his specific mention of “Gay, straight, transgender” in his speech.)
Even with something as simple as a national mask mandate, it would only deepen the divide.
I personally believe that 8 years of the Obama administration brought great disunity, rather than healing, to the nation.
The next four years of the Trump administration exponentially deepened those divisions and poured salt into the wounds.
And now, with the most divisive, volatile elections since the Civil War, our divisions and suspicions are even deeper.
On the left, people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are attacking their fellow Democrats for not being radical enough. Towards the middle-left, the “moderates” are criticizing people like AOC for their radical positions. And the farther you go to the right, the more the left is perceived as the number-one, existential threat to the future of the nation.
That’s why both Republicans and Democrats claimed that this election was about “the future of America” or “the future of our democracy.” Everyone recognized what was at stake.
And should Donald Trump somehow emerge victorious to serve a second term, I see no hope of healing coming from him, either, barring a change that would be even more miraculous than his re-election.
What, then, can be done?
To be sure, we should pray that the duly elected next president will be a unifier rather than a divider. He can set an example of civility while maintaining his convictions. He can be a man of courage without savaging his opponents. That would help in part.
But the onus of bringing healing must fall on those who claim to know the Lord. Those who believe in His values. Those who truly believe that we are called to stand out from the rest of the world, marked by our conduct and our character.
We can stand firm and immovable without being nasty and petty. We can vote our convictions without engaging in partisan political mud-slinging. And, with God’s help, we can even love our enemies. We can actually bless those who curse us. It is a beautifully freeing and transforming experience.
At the very least, we can practice such conduct among ourselves, among our fellow-believers, even in the midst of our inevitable differences and conflicts.
As Paul exhorted the Colossians, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity” (Colossians 3:12-14).
If you’re a Christian, this is a command, not a suggestion.
And while the healing of a hurting, angry, divided nation is a seemingly impossible task, we can seek to bring healing one life at a time.
We can reach out with grace to an offended loved one. We can send a kind-hearted (not compromised) note to an angered friend on social media. We can forgive from the heart. We can humble ourselves and ask for forgiveness where we have sinned against others.
To quote Paul again, “ Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not covet,’ and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law” (Romans 13:8-10).
Again, I appreciate any effort by a political leader to sound a conciliatory note and to reach out across the aisle. I simply realize that with the nature of the divisions that are tearing us apart, true healing will have to come from another source.
May each of us lead the way, not moving an iota from our deeply held convictions and not ceasing to fight for what is right. But walking in love and living as decent human beings.

lifesitenews--2020-11-09--A grim look at the abortion regime Christian Biden-supporters voted for

November 9 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Over 70 million Christians are alleged to have voted for Joe Biden for president .
This is unfortunately not surprising , as many have been persuaded that it is acceptable to root for a candidate who advocates for feticide throughout all nine months of pregnancy by the media , by progressive Christians , and by the hard work put in by alleged pro-lifers who claimed that a pro-abortion candidate could technically be more “ pro-life.
” I ’ m not going to bother to relitigate the Donald Trump question here again — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ subject already , and supporting a pro-abortion candidate is fundamentally immoral even if you reject the alternative ( and vote third party , for example ) .
In short , there is absolutely no excuse to vote for someone who supports killing society ’ s most vulnerable members in the womb — period .
Instead , I ’ m simply going to point out to Biden voters whom they allied with when they cast their ballot .
If voting for a man who has supported abortion for 47 years doesn ’ t make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you uncomfortable to discover that Planned Parenthood , an organization responsible for hundreds of thousands of pre-born deaths ( many in minority communities ) was celebrating with you : You voted for change .
You voted for your future .
You voted for Joe Biden .
The work is just getting started .
Today , we celebrate ; tomorrow , we get to work .
Indeed you did .
That work they ’ re referring to ?
That ’ s expanding the abortion industry .
That future they ’ re talking about ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ tens of millions of your tax dollars to fund feticide .
This is the sort of celebration that could accurately be described as “ grave-dancing ” — and there you are , arm in arm with them .
Strange bedfellows ?
Maybe .
Maybe not .
Ilyse Hogue , the head of NARAL Pro-Choice America ( who once announced her abortion to cheers at the Democratic Convention ) , also celebrated with Biden ’ s Christian voters .
She posted a photo on Twitter depicting a paraphrased quote from Dr. King : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arc back toward justice.
” Her caption read : “ [ W ] e ’ ve been granted opportunity .
Let ’ s use it wisely.
” Whom does Hogue mean by “ we ” ?
She means the abortion industry .
They see Biden ’ s presidency as an “ opportunity.
” They plan to “ use it wisely.
” If they get their way , it will mean the end of the Hyde Amendment , which has saved up to 2.4 million lives .
NARAL , for the record , posted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ KamalaHarris just made history as the first woman , first Black woman , and first Asian American woman elected as vice president !
She ’ s always been a champion of reproductive freedom , and we can ’ t wait to have her fighting for all of us.
” When they say she ’ s always been a “ champion of reproductive freedom , ” they mean abortion ( an obvious point , I know , but millions of Christian voters didn ’ t seem to get that ) .
Harris has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pro-life journalists like David Daleiden in the past as well — so that ’ s something else to look forward to .
Cecile Richards , former head of Planned Parenthood and America ’ s most carnivorous abortion activist , actually had the gall to post : “ Excited for all the babies this year who will be named Kamala !
” If her people have their way and get the government funding they ’ re hoping for , a whole lot more babies will die in the womb before being given any name @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Planned Parenthood is hoping to increase its profit margins over the next few years ) .
Richards , I ’ m sure , is thankful for all those Christian voters who joined her in voting for a future that includes far fewer children but a whole lot more profit cash for the abortion industry .
So to those Christian Biden voters who are celebrating today : Just know what you are celebrating , and whom you are celebrating with .
You are celebrating with Planned Parenthood , with NARAL Pro-Choice America , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the abortionists who are prepared for their industry to be flush with government cash — your cash .
You knew that this was going to happen , too — Joe Biden told us all what he was going to do to expand the abortion industry and roll back any existing protections for pre-born children in his online platform for everyone to see .
At the end of the day , that ’ s what Joe promised you — and that ’ s what you voted for .
Jonathon ’ s new podcast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dedicated to telling the stories of the pro-life and pro-family movement .
In his latest episode , he talks to Mary Eberstadt to discuss how the Sexual Revolution , the breakdown of the family , and identity politics have brought us to where we are today .
Eberstadt felt vindicated by the 2020 presidential election results .
Why ?
She has been saying for years , “ The sexual revolution is now having system-wide political consequences.
” You can subscribe here and listen to the episode below :

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'
'Tens of thousands 2020 election votes illegally scanned in Detroit, says Dominion IT contractor'
'Trump campaign files lawsuit demanding ‘a new statewide election for president’ in Georgia'
'Experts flag over 500k ballots in PA with new evidence of major 2020 election voter fraud'
''Smoking gun'? Pennsylvania vote fraud hearing gets gasps from audience'
'FBI and Justice Department have dragged their feet investigating 2020 vote fraud'
''CNN top brass in leaked tape: We won't give Trump 'too much of a platform on his not conceding'
'Twitter censored Trump 63 times over Thanksgiving holiday, Biden untouched'
LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!

lifesitenews--2020-11-11--Election wins set favorable landscape for Texas homeschool families

November 10 , 2020 ( Texas Homeschool Coalition ) — Last week marked the end of one of the most historic elections of our time .
As most elections go , the results of the 2020 General Election were full of wins and some losses for Texas families .
While pro-family and pro-homeschooling Texas candidates fared well in statewide executive and judicial elections , there were several notable wins and losses for families in local races around the state .
The most notable victories in the 2020 General Election were that Representatives Matt Shaheen , Jeff Leach , Matt Krause @ @ @ @ @ @ @ House Districts 66 , 67 , 93 , and 94 respectively !
Each one of them is a proven advocate for Texas families , and they are eager to continue serving families in their districts and statewide .
Additionally , new candidates Jacey Jetton , Mike Schofield , and homeschool mom Lacey Hull won their elections in House Districts 26 , 132 , and 138 respectively .
These incoming state representatives are fully committed to actively working to protect the rights of homeschoolers all over Texas and specifically in their districts .
THSC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can do with each of these elected officials on behalf of Texas families .
The Most Disappointing Losses for Families Unfortunately , pro-family candidates did not come out on top in each race .
Most notably , Senator Pete Flores lost his race for Texas Senate District 19 .
Carrie Issac also lost her race for House District 45 .
The New Landscape of Texas Government Overall , Texas shaped up very well last night for homeschool families .
A large majority of the candidates who were elected last night are very much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Texas .
This gives us high hopes for making significant progress on legislation that is important to Texas families during the next legislative session which starts in January of 2021 .
Two big questions for Texas going into election night were whether Democrats or Republicans would control the Texas House and who the speaker for the 2021 legislative session would be .
Republicans have controlled the Texas house and the speakership for decades , but many wondered whether this would be the year that might change .
With nearly all of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appears that the Republican party will retain control of the Texas House .
This knowledge will likely kick off a sprint in the race for who will be speaker of the Texas House .
While the new speaker is not elected until January when the legislative session starts , the race could be essentially over within days or weeks now that it is clear which party will control the Texas House and legislators start taking sides in who they will support .
The speaker has enormous control over how legislation moves through the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the race could have a significant effect on legislative priorities for Texas families .
With the election behind us , THSC and its members can look forward to the 2021 87th Texas Legislature .
This could be one of the best legislative sessions that Texas families have seen .
Together , we ’ ll remain optimistic and continue fighting for the values that are most important to Texas homeschoolers .

The results of the 2020 General Election were full of wins for Texas families, but there were some losses, too.
November 10, 2020 (Texas Homeschool Coalition) — Last week marked the end of one of the most historic elections of our time. As most elections go, the results of the 2020 General Election were full of wins and some losses for Texas families.

The Biggest Wins for Families
— Article continues below Petition — PETITION: Urge Governor DeSantis to give parents freedom in school choice Show Petition Text 1114 have signed the petition. Let's get to 2500 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition It has never been more obvious that what the public schools are currently offering does not fit the needs of Florida’s children and families. That’s why Parents United for School Choice (FL) is partnering with LifeSite on this petition, asking Governor DeSantis to give parents the right to select which school is best for their kids – and, let their tax dollars follow their child to the school of their choice, be it a public, private, charter or home school. Please SIGN this urgent petition, urging Governor DeSantis to sign a crucial executive order that would allow for school choice. The School Choice executive order would: * Allow funds to be allocated to the family for the child to be used for: Curriculum materials
Technological educational materials
Tutoring
Extracurricular activities
Private school tuition
Support for Special Education * Ensure each child would receive the same amount of funding, regardless of where the child is enrolled * Protect non-public education providers from federal and state control Not only do we need to support parents in making decisions about their children's education, we also need to give parents the flexibility - in terms of resources and curricula - to 'custom design' their children's education. After all, it is parents who best know their own children. School choice would empower all parents to make consequential decisions regarding their children's education. And, this executive order could also encourage schools, of all types, to better tailor curricula and materials, as well as teaching style/method, to the needs of each individual pupil. And, of course, this executive order could help homeschoolers by making homeschooling more affordable and more engaging, as homeschooling parents would have greater recources at their disposal. Please SIGN this petition which supports school choice and which urges Governor Ron DeSantis to issue an executive order for immediate assistance to parents and families in desperate need of educational options. **Photo credit: Shutterstock.com Hide Petition Text Sign this Petition
The most notable victories in the 2020 General Election were that Representatives Matt Shaheen, Jeff Leach, Matt Krause, and Tony Tinderholt were re-elected to House Districts 66, 67, 93, and 94 respectively!

The New Landscape of Texas Government
Overall, Texas shaped up very well last night for homeschool families.
A large majority of the candidates who were elected last night are very much in favor of family rights and homeschooling in Texas.
This gives us high hopes for making significant progress on legislation that is important to Texas families during the next legislative session which starts in January of 2021.
Two big questions for Texas going into election night were whether Democrats or Republicans would control the Texas House and who the speaker for the 2021 legislative session would be.
Republicans have controlled the Texas house and the speakership for decades, but many wondered whether this would be the year that might change.
With nearly all of the election results in across Texas, it appears that the Republican party will retain control of the Texas House. This knowledge will likely kick off a sprint in the race for who will be speaker of the Texas House.
While the new speaker is not elected until January when the legislative session starts, the race could be essentially over within days or weeks now that it is clear which party will control the Texas House and legislators start taking sides in who they will support.
The speaker has enormous control over how legislation moves through the Texas house, so the results of the race could have a significant effect on legislative priorities for Texas families.

It is bad citizenship because in a republic your vote does not get you across the finish line .

November 10, 2020 (The Stream) — As the election crisis drags on and the news is filled with widespread reports of voting irregularities and fraud, confusion and chaos reign. America needs help, and yet people of faith are almost entirely asleep at the wheel.
Many feel they did enough by voting. I’ve seen countless people post the meme “God is in control” on their social media pages as if to say, “I did my part. Whatever happens next is God’s business.”
This is bad citizenship and even worse theology.
Bad Citizenship and Bad Theology
It is bad citizenship because in a republic your vote does not get you across the finish line. It gets you to the starting line. We have a solemn duty to demand that our government officials stand for truth and honesty.
Saying God is “in control” is bad theology as well. “Control” is an accounting term for everything being perfectly in its place. The Bible does not describe God as controlling. Rather, it tells us God is wholly sovereign. He has created a dynamic environment in which we humans — His image bearers — are called to stand for truth and fight against evil and injustice.
In short, God has given us eyes to see what He sees, ears to hear what He pays attention to, and hands to do what is right. To then say, “God will handle it” and walk away is to ignore our design and surrender to fate. God doesn’t give us the option to turn our backs.
Right now, the difference is a matter of life and death for our Republic.
Speaking the Truth and Opposing Lies
The voting irregularities we saw this week should chill you to the bone no matter how you voted. Things don’t add up and we all know it. Nearly everyone reading this has encountered credible accounts of multiple ballots received, more votes than there are registered voters, discarded ballots, and more.
Scripture calls us to take a clear-eyed view of such happenings: we are to speak the truth and oppose lies. A Judeo-Christian worldview stands alone in this. Some worldviews, such as Marxism, do the opposite. Marxism declares that what is “true” is whatever advances the revolution. As Andrey Vyshinsky, Stalin’s foreign minister, explained, “There might be collisions and discrepancies between the formal commands of laws and those of the proletarian revolution. … This collision must be solved only by the subordination of the formal commands of law to those of party policy.”
Other worldviews such as secularism and postmodernism assert that absolute truth does not exist. When people who don’t believe in truth tell you that they know the truth about this election, be suspicious.
Loving Our Neighbor
People of a Judeo-Christian faith should be different. As God’s image-bearers, we show love for Him by acting on principles that flow from who He is. According to both the Torah and the teachings of Jesus, one key way we do this is by loving our neighbor.
Loving our neighbor does not mean merely offering a friendly wave. Rather, the bedrock of loving our neighbor is the pursuit of justice and righteousness. In the Torah, before God gave the command to love your neighbor, He first laid out what that looked like:
“You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor. You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand up against the life of your neighbor: I am the Lord.”
Loving your neighbor does not mean being nice and hoping that they like us. Rather, it is protecting justice for them as well as for ourselves. The biblical principle of shalom says that we don’t just avoid harming our neighbor; we are to go out of our way to ensure their wellbeing.
Proverbs 24:12 says, “If you say, ‘But we knew nothing about this,’ does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?”
Standing Against Corruption
Justice and righteousness bring life; they allow the human spirit to flourish. But when lawless deeds go unchecked, it brings about oppression and death. Not just physical death, but death of opportunity, death of vision, and death of hope.
This was the heart of King Solomon’s warning in Proverbs 29:2, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.”
The church is not the state, but the church does serve as a moral conscience that helps the state fulfill its responsibility to stand against corruption that puts our neighbors and communities at grave risk.
During this critical time in our nation it should be churches and people of faith who stand firm, not for our preferred candidate, but for justice and the rule of law to be upheld in our communities and in our electoral process.
What specifically should we do?
Pray, Fast and Take Action
First and foremost, pray and fast to beseech God to intervene and restore justice in our land. Then, take action by studying the issue of election integrity at a website and contacting your state’s election officials to ensure that your vote was counted. If your state is one where corruption is suspected, ask God for wisdom in how to hold your elected officials accountable.
If we stand on the sidelines now, while the fairness and integrity of our elections are at stake, what injustice will we ignore next?
Thank God that people like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Jr., Margaret Thatcher, and other leaders did not just say “God is in control” and walk away. They accepted their divine mandate to insist on the truth. They fought tirelessly, risking all in pursuing justice with the passion God expresses in the Bible.
In these perilous times, may we not squander our biblical mandate to seek justice and pursue it, and may God have mercy on our efforts.

SANTA FE , New Mexico , November 10 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Archbishop John C.

The Archdiocese of Santa Fe , meanwhile , has kept its cathedral gift shop open , even while the pews of the cathedral have been roped off , prohibiting public access .
A parishioner in the archdiocese , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Scripture passage ( Mt .

’ ” Wyatt told LifeSiteNews that this situation shows that Wester , like “ an unfortunate number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the almighty dollar and to worldly ideologies , ” and “ is happy to trivialize the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the sacraments.
” “ He either doesn ’ t recognize how absolutely shameful this is , which would speak to his malformation , or he , like many of his brother bishops , is so accustomed to the laity ‘ rolling over ’ that he no longer cares how it looks , ” she continued .
The October 22 directive from Wester stated that a “ rapid increase in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ fast-approaching ” flu season , and keeping “ closer quarters during the winter ” combine to form an “ extremely hazardous situation.
” The archbishop also recommended the delaying of funerals and weddings , limiting attendance to 10 people for exceptional cases , while making confession available only by appointment .
Meanwhile , the directive allows for Catholic schools to remain open since “ there has been no significant increase in the number of cases ] of covid-19 in schools.
” In response to Wester ’ s directive , Catholic faithful have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Santa Fe ’ s cathedral-basilica to pray rosaries “ begging Our Lady ’ s intercession , and calling down Christ ’ s justice on this archbishop , who is leading many souls astray , ” Wyatt told LifeSiteNews .
Wyatt wrote an appeal to the archbishop on behalf of Catholics of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe .

Catholics are protesting, with one laywoman invoking Scripture: 'My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.'
SANTA FE, New Mexico, November 10, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Archbishop John C. Wester recently suspended indoor public Mass and regular confession in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe for the express purpose of “protecting” people from the coronavirus, prompting public rosaries and petitions for the lifting of all restrictions on Mass and the sacraments.
The Archdiocese of Santa Fe, meanwhile, has kept its cathedral gift shop open, even while the pews of the cathedral have been roped off, prohibiting public access. A parishioner in the archdiocese, Cydni Wyatt, compared the situation to the Scripture passage (Mt. 21:12), “and Jesus went into the temple of God and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the money changers, the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, ‘It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.’”
Wyatt told LifeSiteNews that this situation shows that Wester, like “an unfortunate number of princes of the Church, pledges allegiance to the almighty dollar and to worldly ideologies,” and “is happy to trivialize the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the sacraments.”
“He either doesn’t recognize how absolutely shameful this is, which would speak to his malformation, or he, like many of his brother bishops, is so accustomed to the laity ‘rolling over’ that he no longer cares how it looks,” she continued.
The October 22 directive from Wester stated that a “rapid increase in the number of COVID-19 positive cases,” “fast-approaching” flu season, and keeping “closer quarters during the winter” combine to form an “extremely hazardous situation.”
The archbishop also recommended the delaying of funerals and weddings, limiting attendance to 10 people for exceptional cases, while making confession available only by appointment. Meanwhile, the directive allows for Catholic schools to remain open since “there has been no significant increase in the number of cases] of covid-19 in schools.”
In response to Wester’s directive, Catholic faithful have gathered every Saturday in increasing numbers at Santa Fe’s cathedral-basilica to pray rosaries “begging Our Lady’s intercession, and calling down Christ’s justice on this archbishop, who is leading many souls astray,” Wyatt told LifeSiteNews.
Wyatt wrote an appeal to the archbishop on behalf of Catholics of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. “Now, with full knowledge of the risks, perceived or real, associated with the Covid-19 virus, and in full submission to the Divine Will of God, whether in death or life, we beg to be admitted into the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,” she stated in the petition.
We beg to adore our Lord within the sacred walls of our Churches, to receive our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament in the way in which our devotion deems necessary. We beg to receive the healing balm of forgiveness in our confessionals, and to welcome our newborn babies into the family of God at our Baptismal Fonts. We plead for the rites of our dying loved ones to receive the anointing that strengthens them for their journey. Archbishop, your October 22, 2020 press release states that these current restrictions are “in accordance with our faith’s concern for the protection of human life.” We, the Catholic faithful would respectfully remind you, that it is within each person's ability to adhere, within reason, to the state and CDC directives, and according to individual health circumstance. We do not need our shepherds to be hospital administrators. We need you to be faithful and courageous administrators of the Sacraments, as directed by our Lord. God may not be bound by our religious practices, but in conscience, the Faithful are. We owe sacrifice to our Lord and King, and our sacrifice cannot be offered unless we are present at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Allow your sheep to decide for themselves what risks they are willing to take as regards their physical health. Allow our priests to be heroic in virtue, not by encouraging them to “shelter in place” but as Saint Charles Borromeo admonished “not to be so forgetful of your priesthood as to prefer a late death to a holy one.” We, Faithful Catholics of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, respectfully and urgently ask for the retraction of all current restrictions regarding the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Further, we respectfully and urgently plea for the retraction of all current restrictions regarding the administration of the Sacraments to the Faithful.
Another petition from a parishioner in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, which has gathered almost 3,000 signatures, stated, “We worry especially for our elderly, that they will become dangerously ill due to the cold weather. We are also concerned for our fellow brothers and sisters who attend parishes where they cannot have mass outside.”
Wyatt has agreed to combine petitions, which have now accumulated a total of 3,182 signatures, before submitting them to Abp. Wester.
On October 27, Wester doubled down on his resolution to prohibit indoor Masses with a “response to concerns regarding closure of church services.” He addressed common objections to the measure, arguing that “God is not limited by His sacraments,” which is contrary to St. Thomas Aquinas’ assertion that sacraments are necessary for man’s salvation.
Wester also likened the closure of indoor Mass to a “pre-emptive healing,” comparing it to Jesus’s healing of people “even when it went against the laws governing the Sabbath.”
Wester recently congratulated pro-abortion Joe Biden as “president elect,” stating, “I am proud that for the second time in history a Roman Catholic has been elected to the highest office in the land.” He went so far as to say, “The Catholic faith has been an important part of President-elect Biden’s life, guiding him as he serves the common good.”
CNA previously reported on the Oct. 22 directive, saying, “Medical experts have told CNA that the celebration of Mass during the pandemic in the United States has been shown to be safe as long as safety guidelines are followed,” and also noted that Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico had not prohibited public worship.
The archdiocese did not respond to CNA’s “inquiry about whether there have been any outbreaks of the virus associated with the celebration of Mass in the archdiocese.”
“This archbishop stands as a threat to the Faith, and he claims ‘love’ drives him, but there is an order to that which we should love. God first, and then our neighbor as ourselves. This archbishop prefers to invert the order, as do many bishops today,” said Wyatt.
“As laity, we must stand athwart to him. Laity across the United States need to stand athwart to every bishop who contradicts the teachings of Holy Mother Church, and who would deprive us, in any way, of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Sacraments. NO MORE SILENCE.”
