The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a left-wing group intent on causing racial animosity and divisions in our nation. No responsible media group would use or trust their “hate” designations for the same reasons that no one should trust the war and casualty reports coming from Hamas Jihadists in Gaza.

We know that the many cultural battles we face today are spiritual battles that cannot be won by relying solely on our own strength and methods. In truth, these battles must first and continually be waged through prayer to our holy, righteous and merciful God.

We are up against a coordinated movement by Apostles of Wokeism, including the Leftist media, and many political officials that are hostile to biblical morality. But opportunities (and responsibilities) to be the salt and light in our culture is growing!

Have you noticed how few campaign ads are running on radio and television? In some communities, it is hard not to notice that there are fewer campaign signs on parkways and lawns.
