Vote November 8, 2022
I heard that over 20 million Christians didn’t vote in the last election. Have you ever heard of the statement “Going to hell in a hand basket?” It looks like our Nation is going to hell in a space ship! We are seeing evil at every turn and you, as a voter, can help get our country back. Every single vote counts!!

Jane Elementary School in Moline, Illinois, added an After School Satan Club to it’s roster of extracurricular activities, which has concerned and outraged parents and other observers. A spokesperson for the satanic temple claimed, “We’re not teaching children about satanism, they’re just going to know other view points to the school.” The temple spokesperson acknowledged that the satan clubs were to present an alternative to “religious indoctrination” in some after school programs.
C.S. Lewis, a prominent Christian intellectual known for defending the Christian faith and acknowledging the importance of education once stated, “Indeed the safest road to hell is a gradual one, a gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones and without sign post’s.” Lewis understood the issue of evil in the world, so he championed a Christian perspective.
President Kennedy, in his inaugural address said this, “In the long history of the world, there have only been a few generations that have been granted the roll of defending our freedom in it’s hour of maximum danger.”
The Pandemic changed the thinking of many Christians. (I stayed home isolated all during that time too.) I am here to tell you, and surveys will back me up, that was one of the the worst things we could do. T.V. Church is not what God told us to do, rather, it is a “satanic attack” on religion. Most all churches nationwide are experiencing a reduction in attendance, and satan is having a field day! I pray that, if you are one that hasn’t returned, you will rethink and get back to attending services. You are a witness to someone, be one that will make a difference!
“At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, your worth. You get to be your own validation.”
EBC NEWS: Judgement House was a real success! This is words from our Pastor, Chris Harrison: “We shared the Gospel with 19 groups, totaling 310 people! Additionally, every single person was encouraged to “Go” and be a witness for Jesus Christ, (Corinthians 15:58 says, “Therefore my beloved brothers be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”

Everyone has a story, everyone has been through something that has changed them. So, never judge a person by the chapter you have walked in on. To everyone who hasn’t felt okay lately, but who gets up every day and refuses to quit — stay strong! Be honest, be kind, be true. All of these things will come back to you. What goes around, comes around!

Go vote and have a blessed week.
