Illinois state lawmakers are returning to Springfield on Tuesday and are scheduled to work through Friday. Even with the May 31st General Assembly adjournment date in sight, we dare not relax. Our adversaries are working diligently to pass dubious and dangerous bills.

Every year since 1952, the first Thursday in May is dedicated to prayer. As Christians, prayer should not just be a spiritual discipline that we exercise on the National Day of Prayer. Rather, prayer should be characteristic of our everyday life.

One of the more unusual forms of “work” in our world is that of an evangelist. 

Please do not stop praying, making calls, sending emails and spreading awareness. We must remain vigilant if we want to preserve parental rights and homeschool freedoms. Please share the reels below on your social media platforms and let lawmakers know how many Illinois voters oppose HB 2827.

State Representative Terra Costa Howard (D-Lombard) has filed another amendment to HB 2827, "The Homeschool Act," in hopes of picking up more votes among her colleagues in the Illinois House. They are working overtime to try to pass this bill out of the House and move it over to the Illinois Senate this week.

This 2025 School Board Candidate Guide is designed to help voters make informed decisions about those individuals running for their local school board. Serving on a school board is a profound opportunity to shape the future of education, advocate for parents and their students. School board members can influence critical decisions on curriculum, budgeting, and policies that directly impact the quality of education in your district.

Voting in local elections is crucial because it directly impacts the decisions that affect your everyday life. Local officials, like mayors, city council members, and school board members, shape policies on issues such as public safety, infrastructure, education, and community services. These elections often have lower turnout than national ones, meaning your vote carries even more weight in determining outcomes.

The dangers of social media have been well-documented in recent years.

Do you belong to a faithful and healthy local church whose leaders meet biblical standards (1 Tim. 3), have courage (Titus 1:9) and are those watching over my soul understanding they are those who will give account to God (Hebrews 13:17)? How can you be sure?

There are just a few hours left in this End-of-Year Campaign. The good news is, we have raised a little more than 85% of our goal so far! We are closing in on our goal, but we are not there yet. We still need your help if we hope to reach it.

Thanks to your generous contributions we have raised a little more than 75 percent for our End of Year Matching Challenge Campaign. We have until the stroke of midnight on Dec. 31st to raise the remaining 25 percent to reach our goal!

The desperate need of biblical truth in the public square is needed now more than ever before in our state and nation. We need your financial support to continue doing this work as we head into 2025.
