					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>The Democrats’ plan to “save democracy” is pretty clear.</p>
<p>Their first order of business is to defeat former President <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> by any means possible, wielding the legal system like a stiletto.</p>
<p>The second is to get rid of as many election integrity safeguards as possible. More about that in a moment, with Virginia as a striking example.</p>
<p>Mr. Trump, whose momentum toward the GOP nomination may be unstoppable, is being hounded on absurd charges by Democratic prosecutors in Democratic-run courts in four jurisdictions with jury pools dominated by Democrats.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/01/democrats-one-party-tyranny-is-the-real-meaning-of-saving-democracy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>U.S. Representative <strong>Adam Kinzinger</strong> (IL-16th) upset many of his fellow Republicans around the country with the statements he’s made about former President <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> in recent weeks. Perhaps none more so than the county chairman of 36 southern Illinois regional Republican Party committees who issued a letter condemning Kinzinger for his actions including calling for the impeachment of President Trump and failing to support the president’s claims of election fraud.</p>
<p>The GOP county chairs voted to issue their condemnation at the Southern Regional Zoom Meeting Jan.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/02/southern-illinois-gop-chairs-others-condemn-rep-kinzingers-statements-on-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>In case you haven&#8217;t noticed, life is hectic right now, especially in politics. Nearly every person is spinning theories about repairing our political system or gloating over the president&#8217;s illness, or how one party is the unique savior of the republic. Reverend Franklin Graham disagrees and instead posits that only Christ and Him crucified can repair human lives, thus the culture, and thus human politics.</p>
<p>This episode is a re-air of the interview IFI&#8217;s media director, Monte Larrick, did with Reverend Graham directly before IFI&#8217;s fall fundraising banquet in 2019.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/podcast/illinois-family-spotlight-219/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David Limbaugh</em></p>
<p>Though some deny it, many harbor a strong hostility toward Christians in our society, especially those who obediently wear their faith on their sleeves.</p>
<p>You know what they find worse than an outspoken evangelical Christian? An outspoken evangelical Christian who&#8217;s also an outspoken supporter of President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>. Talk about a perfect storm of contemptibility!</p>
<p><strong>Mike Lindell</strong>, owner of MyPillow, and the Rev. <strong>Franklin Graham</strong> fall squarely into this category.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/04/americans-goodness-outweighs-pockets-of-anti-christian-bigotry/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Prior to last fall’s IFI Faith, Family, and Freedom Banquet, the <strong>Reverend Franklin Graham</strong> spoke with Monte Larrick. We are pleased to feature that interview on this edition of Spotlight. Rev. Graham stresses that Christians <span style="color: #ff6600;"><em><strong>must be engaged</strong></em></span> and involved in the political process, educated as to the candidates’ stand on the crucial issues of life and religious freedoms, and committed to prayer before entering the voter booth.</p>

They talked about freedom of speech, why Christians need to be involved in politics, why only God can ultimately change today&#8217;s culture, how Rev. Graham believes we can change the education system, where civil disobedience is permitted, the conundrum in Illinois education with the new LGBTQ history mandate, and finally a message from Reverend Graham to the Christians in Illinois.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/podcast/illinois-family-spotlight-186/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The November election is likely to be an intense, brutal fight to the finish, with the Republican candidate <strong>Donald Trump</strong> needing all of the friends and supporters he can muster. As was evident by his recent statements at the historical “Conversation” event in New York City, where he spoke about religious liberty and related matters to more than 1,000 evangelical leaders, he is counting on widespread support from conservative Christians and their churches in his battle for the presidency.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/08/conservative-pastors-are-distancing-themselves-from-the-2016-election/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Gary Bauer</em></p>
<p><strong>Billy Graham</strong>, America&#8217;s beloved evangelist, saved many souls during his lifetime at massive gatherings he called &#8220;crusades.&#8221; His son, Reverend <strong>Franklin Graham</strong>, launched a new crusade this week aimed at saving America.</p>
<p>Franklin Graham made headlines recently when he announced that he had switched his political registration and had become an independent, something many conservatives have done in recent years. But, as we reported and the media ignored, Graham was in no way telling people to abandon the culture war and avoid the political process.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/01/grahams-new-crusade/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
