Dr. O.S. Hawkins: Accountability: Don’t Leave Home Without It

“But, meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for I trust that through your prayers I shall be granted to you. Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow laborers. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Franklin Graham: Pray and Vote, But Put Your Hope in God

Dear Friend,  Today our nation will hold one of the most consequential elections in decades. Voters will go to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 5, to cast their ballots for the next president of the United States, as well as for many crucial congressional, state and local offices. The future of our nation is at stake. America has drifted far from the Biblical values that once stood as our rock-solid foundation.
