When the devil tempted Jesus by offering Him the World,
Jesus responded by telling the devil what was written in God's Word that we should worship the Lord your God only.
Christ Jesus prayed that all those who would believe in Him would be ONE, just as He and the Father are ONE; that they be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that He was sent by the Father. (John 17:20-23)

Tom,
Janie* is a single mom working to provide for her two children—11 and 15 years old.
Janie is Jane Doe #14 in our lawsuit against NorthShore.
The Illinois-based hospital health system has unlawfully denied all religious exemptions to the COVID jabs, even as it allows its staff to harass and humiliate Christians over their religious beliefs.
Janie, a senior applications analyst, has already had and recovered from COVID, then later tested for the antibodies, proving her body had defeated the virus.
NorthShore excused Janie from weekly COVID testing and was accepting religious exemptions.
But in mid-September, NorthShore suddenly changed its tune. The health system that employs more than 10,000 people reversed its previous position and mandated the shots.
All staff must get the jab or lose their jobs—no exceptions! All previously granted exemptions were revoked.
As a mother of two and a firm believer in Christ, Janie knows just how precious life is.
One of her sons suffers from congenital defects and asthma.
His health depends on the medical insurance and financial provision Janie’s job provides.
Yet the jabs NorthShore is demanding were created with and/or tested on aborted fetal cell lines.
Janie feels that to take these drugs would be an affront to God, the giver of life.
Without her job, Janie will lose her house as well as the necessary medical insurance her children need to survive and thrive. The stress on the family has been almost unbearable.
Janie’s children worry about where they will live if Mommy loses her job and their home.
The stress of the situation, combined with the shocking bullying tactics used by NorthShore’s staff, is causing Jamie not only psychological harm, but also her adrenal and cortisol levels have skyrocketed, damaging her physical health.
Nov. 1 is the deadline for these jabs for Janie and other NorthShore health care workers.
If they do not get the jab, they will lose their jobs.
Our emergency hearing in this case will take place tomorrow.
Please pray for a good result that will restore religious freedom to Janie and all other staff members.
U.S. SUPREME COURT IS SET TO RULE ON OUR MAINE CASE.
UPDATE ON MAINE CASE: The Supreme Court is poised at any moment to deliver a ruling on our request for an emergency injunction against Maine Gov. Janet Mills and her latest attempt to discriminate against Christians and religious adherents.
We should have a ruling by Friday in the Maine case, even as our attorneys are also in court for our Illinois case.
I will update you on the results as soon as I can.
For these health care workers, their final day of work will be tomorrow—October 29—if we do not prevail at the High Court.
In the Maine case, we represent over 2,000 health care workers with stories similar to Janie’s case in Illinois.
Gov. Mills ordered health care facilities to refuse all requests for religious exemptions to the COVID shots.
If they do not, Mills threatened to revoke their business licenses. This is not surprising, considering Mills discriminated against churches by threatening to impose fines and jail time on those who dared gather for worship.
Liberty Counsel dragged Gov. Mills to the Supreme Court over that blatant discrimination against churches.
Now the Court is reviewing our newest case against Mills and is set to rule this week.
One of our plaintiffs in the Maine case is a dentist who, based on his own religious convictions as well as in honor of his employees’ religious convictions, refuses to implement Gov. Mills’ unlawful, discriminatory mandate.
Mills says she will REVOKE the license of any business that refuses to obey her illegal decree.
Our dentist plaintiff and his employees stand to lose their livelihoods due to Gov. Mills’ overt religious discrimination.
LIBERTY COUNSEL IS FIGHTING TO STOP THE MANDATES.
But we cannot do this important work without YOU.
We never charge for our legal representation.
These antireligious mandates and discriminatory orders have caused our offices to be absolutely flooded with pleas for help that have severely taxed our resources.
We’ve trained over 80 affiliate attorneys to help us fight these attempts to eradicate religious freedom—and we are still overwhelmed by the unbelievable volume of calls, letters and emails pleading for help.
The calls are heartbreaking.
We both cry and pray with callers as we work to free them from tyranny.
But with every new tyrannical edict, our resolve to defend religious freedom increases.
OUR VITAL WORK HELPS KEEP AMERICA FREE!
Liberty Counsel has also filed a massive class action lawsuit against Joe Biden on behalf of military members, federal employees and civilian contractors fighting to have their religious exemptions to the COVID shots honored.
The emergency hearing is scheduled for Nov. 15.

Thank you for your prayers and support!

Satire becomes reality: Elementary school takes kids on gay-bar field trip

Two years ago, the satirical site Babylon Bee – playing on California lawmakers' increasing promotion of LGBTQ issues in public schools – ran a "story" about Gov.
Gavin Newsom signing into law "a bill that mandates field trips to gay bars, strip clubs, and abortion clinics for the state's second graders."
Once again, satire has become reality, with the news that a Florida elementary school took students on a field trip to a local gay bar called Rosie's, according to a school board member who accompanied the children, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.
Sarah Leonardi of the Broward County School Board wrote Wednesday on Twitter that she "was SO honored to be invited to chaperone."
She said "the students and I had a fun walk over and learned a lot about our community!”
Apparently, it's an annual trip hosted by the gay bar.
Photos Leonardi posted of the event show 18 children who appear to be under the age of 10 wearing masks and matching T-shirts, the Daily Caller reported.
The bar's menu items, according to its website, include “Naked Sweaty Lovin’,” “Beet Your Brains Out” “Rhoda Cowboy,” “Ivana Hooker” and “Young Ranch Hand."
The Bee's prescient piece, published in 2019, "reported" Newsom said at the signing of the gay-bar field trip bill that it's "important that our kids receive a comprehensive education."
"For too long, kids in our elementary schools today have not had a fully interactive LGBTQ+ experience.
Sure, they can go to their local library and have a drag queen read them a story, or they can dress in drag themselves and go dance at gay bars as we applaud their actions. But it's not enough," the Bee has Newsom saying in its satirical piece.
Children, the Babylon Bee said, "will be free to ask any questions about the LGBT lifestyle, as long as they don't condemn it."
On its website, the Bee describes itself as "fake news you can trust."
Absurd stories posted daily by the site, which pokes fun of religious, political and celebrity leaders, have been so close to reality that they have been mischaractized more than 30 times by the fact-checking site Snopes and given a "false" rating.
Stories given a false rating by Snopes included headlines such as "California Considering a Tax on Breathing" and "Thanks To New Laws, VeggieTales Finally Introduces New Cannabis Character."

Don’t let Joe Biden DIVIDE Israel. Send a fax and sign our petition to Demand Congress intercede NOW!
Friend,
Joe Biden’s recent abandonment of Afghanistan has fueled belief that an ancient Islamic prophecy is coming true.
Worse, Biden’s plan to divide the Holy City of Jerusalem, which would weaken Israel, is intensifying radical Islam’s fervor to destroy the Jewish homeland.
Islamic scholars have dusted off an ancient prophecy that predicts the arrival of their false messiah, the “Mahdi.”
The prophecy, supposedly uttered by Mohammed, reads:
If you see the black banners coming from Khorasan [parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran], join that army, even if you have to crawl over ice; no power will be able to stop them.
And they will finally reach Baitul Maqdis [JERUSALEM], where they will erect their flags.
You may be shocked at how widespread “Mahdi expectation” is across the Muslim world.
A 2012 Pew survey conducted in 23 nations across the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia discovered that “half or more Muslims believe they will live to see the return of the Mahdi.”
Don’t let Joe Biden DIVIDE Israel. Send a fax and sign our petition to Demand Congress intercede NOW!
This ominous threat to God’s people makes me all the more grateful for you, and for your love for the Jewish people.
It makes me appreciate all the more the difference our partnership makes for the nation of Israel.
Because of you, CIDI fights for Israel in our nation’s capital ... mobilizes a pro-Israel grassroots force ... and raises up champions for Israel through Covenant Journey, which gives college-age Christians life-transforming visits to the Holy Land.
But we can’t do any of this without good friends like you.
That is why I invite you to prayerfully consider making a generous gift today.
Your support is all the more needed now because the Taliban takeover, combined with the “black banners” prophecy, is inspiring Israel-hating jihadists across the Muslim world.
As Time magazine has reported, this so-called prophecy is:
… fundamental to radical Islamist ideology. A prophecy describing a Muslim army from Central Asia storming across the Middle East and into Jerusalem has long inspired violent jihadists.
ONLY YOUR SUPPORT allows us to continue to fight for Israel in Washington’s halls of power and around the globe.
That’s why our fax campaign to the U.S. Senate calling for a sound rejection of Biden’s plan to place a U.S. consulate for Palestinians in Israel’s capital city is so crucially important.
Don’t let Joe Biden DIVIDE Israel. Send a fax and sign our petition to Demand Congress intercede NOW!
Please also consider giving generously to support our shared cause today.
Finally, please continue praying for Israel and its people, as well as for America’s Middle East policy.
"I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed" (Gen. 12:3).

7 The First Angel sounded his Trumpet,
And there came Hail and Fire mixed with Blood,
AND IT WAS HURLED DOWN UPON THE EARTH.
A THIRD OF THE EARTH WAS BURNED UP,
A Third of the trees were burned up,
And all the green grass was burned up.
(Revelation 8:7)
The Existential Threat to mankind
Is their Sin against God and His Word;
It is not Global Warming as some contend today.
If fact, God Almighty brings Fire upon the Earth;
That will be the Global Warming
All mankind will experience.
