Rugg made her comments to a state Senate committee considering a measure to ban teaching critical race theory (CRT) in Michigan schools. “The public school system is indoctrinating and shaming our children and teachers. Critical race theory pits minority children against whites. It drives a wedge between parent and child,” said Rugg, who strongly supports banning CRT.

Arizona AG Requests Temporary Restraining Order in Bid to End Biden’s Vaccine Mandates – Epoch Times
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich filed an amended complaint Friday in an effort to end President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates. Brnovich asked the U.S. District Court in Arizona to grant a temporary restraining order and nationwide preliminary injunction as soon as possible to protect workers forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine or be fired. “Once a vaccine has been administered, it can never be undone,” Brnovich said in a statement. …“The COVID-19 vaccine mandate is one of the greatest infringements upon individual liberty, federalism, and the separation of powers by any administration in our country’s history…”

16-Year-Old Female Student Arrested at School for Not Wearing a Mask – Epoch Times
While the National School Board Association characterized the effort of parents who voice opposition to forced masking and critical race theory (CRT) as a form of “domestic terrorism”—and asked the Department of Justice to use the Federal Bureau of Investigation against them—administrators at a school in Wyoming decided to have a 16-year-old female student arrested for not wearing a mask. …Grace was given suspension paperwork and issued a trespassing citation, which came with a fine of $500. It was the third time this ritual had played out. What made this suspension ceremony different from the others was that this time, Grace refused to leave school grounds. It was time to make her proverbial stand. So Grace sat down on the steps in the lobby.
During the hour and a half standoff, school resource officers placed the school on lockdown. Grace was a “threat” to the health safety of her fellow classmates and faculty. The police were called. They asked if she was going to leave. When she said no, they told her she was going to be arrested.
Court Sides With Unvaccinated Michigan Athletes in Mandate Case – Epoch Times
…The three-judge panel denied a request by the university to stay a lower court’s preliminary injunction that stopped it from enforcing the vaccination mandate. The mandate would have barred the athletes from playing in games, or even practicing with their teams, unless they were immunized against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the disease COVID-19. Attorney David Kallman, senior counsel with the Great Lakes Justice Center, who represents the athletes, told the Epoch Times: “It’s a great win for our clients and for religious liberty.”
A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing – Theological Liberalism: The Classic Collection with R.C. Sproul
“We are living in a day when liberal theology has made deep inroads in the church. Many professing Christians and even ordained ministers no longer believe in the authority of Scripture or the resurrection of Jesus Christ. How can people deny these essential doctrines and still call themselves Christians? In this message, Dr. Sproul explains that liberal Christianity is not Christianity at all. It is nothing more than unbelief.”
‘Nothing Short of Child Sacrifice’: Pelosi’s Archbishop Says Her Pro-Abortion Bill Is What He’d Expect from a ‘Satanist’
The Archbishop of San Francisco issued a scathing statement saying the pro-abortion Women’s Health Protection Act (HR 3755) passed by Congress is something he’d expect from a “devout Satanist” rather than a devoted Catholic. Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone called out Catholic politicians, such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who had praised the pro-abortion measure saying it’s about people’s medical choices.
Vermont Woman Fired, Denied Unemployment for Refusing Vaccine, Becomes Homeless and Flees to Florida – Epoch Times
…Having survived a physically abusive marriage and stage four endometriosis—which required multiple surgeries and left her unable to work—she was proud to finally be standing on her own two feet. “This was my first job after 10 years so it was a huge deal to me,” Skau told The Epoch Times. “As a mother of two, going back into the workforce after a horrible illness, was a big deal to me. I had just gotten my first apartment by myself because I was going through a divorce so this was a huge step toward independence. …“They knew I was conservative,” Skau said. “I didn’t hide it but I also didn’t shove it in their faces, and they knew how I felt about masks and that stuff.” …In fact, Skau believes it was her support of conservative principles, and not her vaccination status, that ultimately led to her termination.
The Believer’s Lifelong Battle for Holiness – Dr. John MacArthur
The MacArthur sermon in this post is preceded by a list of highlights for those who don’t have 45 minutes to listen. He answered many questions that believers have about what it means to walk in Spirit; about justification, sanctification and salvation. He also delved into pietism and the holiness movement; and legalism; these topics were considered to narrow down the meaning of true walking in the Spirit, as the others are common sideroads. If you are a new Christian, this sermon is worth coming back to many times, bookmark it.
This Is Why Biblical Christians Do Not Have The Option Of Voting Democratic
This post is for Christians. The purpose of this post is to put forth a biblical view of what it means to be a born-again believer regarding one specific controversial issue in our culture, abortion; and a related matter, voting for a party that holds anti-biblical views related to human life as can be seen in the promotion of abortion world-wide.
