Franklin Graham on “woke concepts” in Alabama:

Bravo to #Alabama @GovernorKayIvey who put a stop to woke content in pre-k education material being distributed to schools in her state! We need more leaders like her who aren't afraid to take a stand against the nonsense being pushed on our youngest and most vulnerable children.…

— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) April 23, 2023

Gov. Ivey said, "Let me be crystal clear: Woke concepts that have zero to do with a proper education and that are divisive at the core have no place in #Alabama classrooms at any age level, let alone with our youngest learners." It's obvious why she was re-elected by a landslide…

Franklin also has a few words for NYC DA Alvin Bragg because “criminals are high-fiving”:

What part of ā€œThou Shalt Not Stealā€ doesn’t Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg understand? Crimes must have consequences—or families, businesses, and consumers pay the high price of lawlessness. We’ve watched the disastrous results in many of our big cities with Democratic leadership…

— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) April 22, 2023

I’m sure the criminals are high-fiving. I feel sorry for the people of NYC who have to live under these circumstances. Shame on DA Alvin Bragg for jeopardizing the safety of law-abiding citizens. 2/2 https://t.co/vzcHQx0Xir

Pastors for Trump.

Jack Hibbs on how God has “lifted his hand of blessing” from America:

Once Israel had turned its back on the Lord, as He warned, He lifted His hand of blessing then judgment followed. That judgment was laid out in graphic detail in Deuteronomy chapter 28.

It is clear to me that God’s hand has been justifiably lifted from America.
We are…

— Jack Hibbs (@RealJackHibbs) April 22, 2023

Here is the rest of Hibbs’s above tweet: “It is clear to me that God’s hand has been justifiably lifted from America. We are unprotected. We are adrift. We have driven Him away. We are exposed. For the follower of Jesus Christ, the Scriptures are clear – our personal sins have been forgiven, and heaven is our home. But as a nation – America is and will come under greater judgment and wrath for our national sins.”

John MacArthur is back in the news.

“Twerking for the Lord“

The King Cyrus prophet:

Can God Anoint a Non-Christian Leader?#Anointing #Trump #Churchill

God did a wonder on my preconceived theology when He started speaking to me about Donald Trump being anointed to be President. The Bible says that God anointed Cyrus to lead Israel even though Cyrus did not know… pic.twitter.com/0sENW6UxLB

Tony Perkins is not happy about the House’s decision not to take up an abortion ban:

This could be a real political problem for the GOP; pro-life activists will turn their political attention to the states and ignore Washington.https://t.co/dv4svIF6po
