Written by Ecce Verum

We’re in the final days of the election season now.

Maybe you’ve already voted. Maybe you’re still trying to decide. Regardless of anything I or anyone else writes to sway you one way or another, I pray God gives you the wisdom to honor Him in good conscience with your ballot. Walk before Him in righteousness.

To My Anti-Trump Friends

Written by Rev. Thorin Anderson

The Threat of Non-Citizens Voting is Here

Written by Nancy Hayes

The threat of non-citizens voting is real. It’s time to restore confidence in U.S. elections. Congress must pass the ‘SAVE’ Act which stands for the “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility’ Act.

If that same percent of the 5.1 million noncitizens who arrived in the U.S.… Continue Reading
