Our Jewish friends are under attack!

If we call ourselves Christ followers, we need to stand up loudly against these movements that are springing up on our college campuses and around the nation.

We need to be aware that Marxist philosophies and anti-Semitic philosophies disguised as new “theologies” are sneaking into our churches.

Does one vote even matter?

The significance of just one vote, one voice… is huge.

It’s here. As surely as the leaves are turning color and there’s a chill in the air. There’s no avoiding or escaping it, hope as we might. There’s no ignoring its urgent, pleading, grasping tentacles. It’s invading your email and interrupting your television. It’s blaring on the radio. It’s in your face.

Another season of politics is upon us, and the sky is falling.

In the Old Testament, Moses instructed the Israelites to teach their children the scriptures and pass their faith in God and His greatness to each generation. This was a command that they did not always obey. Consequently, they were at war with their enemies, oppressed, continually drawn away to worship idols, and finally carried off to Babylon. Likewise, we have not been faithful in passing on our Christian heritage to our progeny. Consequently, there has been a lack of knowledge of the true foundation on which this nation was birthed.

Why do Constitutional Amendments appear on a ballot? In Texas, citizens vote periodically on proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution. How does that happen?

Article 17 of the Texas Constitution governs amendments to the Constitution.

The state legislature may propose amendments to the Texas Constitution by two thirds vote of each House.

To become law a proposed amendment must be approved by a majority of the citizens of the State of Texas who are qualified to vote.

Therefore, in the years when the legislature convenes, Texans get the opportunity to vote for or against changes to the state Constitution.

***Our Texas Constitutional Amendment Election is November 2, 2021. Early voting opens on October 18 and ends on October 29. Make sure to look up the locations to vote and the hours on the website of your local county elections department. Don’t forget to vote in this important election.
