(Psalm 22:28) "We the People" "Standing United Together . . . Under the Cross of Christ" Today's Top Story  Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404) Likely Vote on Monday Nov 25, 2022 URGENT UPDATE: Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is planning on a series of votes beginning MONDAY on the gender-bending, natural-marriage-ending HR 8404. If Schumer succeeds—your pastor, your church and even YOU—will become a target of this terrible bill that imposes same-sex marriage on the nation, expands abusive child bride marriages, opens the door for polygamy and establishes a public policy that will expand “trans” child mutilation surgeries or any other perversions. On Monday, the Senate will debate several amendments, and will then need to garner another 60 votes to proceed. We can stop HR 8404 if we don’t get weary. The senators must hear from you.

(Scott Strazzante-Pool/Getty Images) Republican House Majority Climbs to 220 After Win in California Republicans’ majority in the House grew Wednesday after news outlets declared another congressional race in California for a GOP candidate. Republican Kevin Kiley defeated Democratic opponent, Kermit Jones, in a somewhat close race in California’s 3rd Congressional District, according to The Associated Press and other outlets. With about 80 percent of votes tallied, Kiley leads Jones by 16,000 votes, giving him a more than 5-point lead over his opponent. Now, Republicans have 220 seats in the lower congressional chamber, compared with Democrats’ 212. Although some GOP leaders have been critical of their party’s results during the midterm elections, Republicans will still gain a majority and will have control over the chamber’s committees. “Voters want a new direction,” Kiley told outlets in an interview last week before his race was called. “The House is going to be the vehicle for effectuating the change voters are looking for.” Kiley, a state assembly member, argued that California was in turmoil under Democrat rule in Washington and Sacramento, with residents gouged by inflation and made anxious by rising crime. He sought to depict Jones as an eager foot soldier-in-waiting if Democrats kept their majority and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) remained as speaker. Kiley, who was backed by former President Donald Trump, emerged as a conservative champion for his steady criticism of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, particularly during the 2021 recall election that the governor easily survived. Kiley finished sixth in the field of candidates on the ballot to replace Newsom had voters wanted him removed.

We ask You to forgive the mocking attitude of the members of the media who have released this narrative across the airwaves, and to bless those who will now come into power in the U.S. Congress. Amen. - "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)  Five new members of the House of Representatives to watch Roughly 80 new members will join the House of Representatives when the 118th Congress convenes in January. Along with their more seasoned colleagues, they will have to navigate the potentially tricky terrain of a narrow Republican majority in the House as Democrats control the White House and the Senate. The new members come from every part of the county, and they vary dramatically in terms of political ideology. Some are progressives who have demanded universal healthcare coverage, while others have embraced Donald Trump and his lies about widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. As the final ballots are counted and Americans prepare for another significant shift in the political landscape, here are five new members of the House to keep an eye on: 1. Maxwell Frost, a Democrat of Florida 2. Becca Balint, a Democrat of Vermont 3. Monica De La Cruz, a Republican of Texas 4. Mike Lawler, a Republican of New York 5. Max Miller, a Republican of Ohio (The Guardian) Read more here.   - Father God, we lift up these five members, as well as the other 75 new members of the next session of Congress, before Your Throne of Grace. May each one seek to know You, and to do Your will in the days that lie ahead. In Your Name we pray, Holy One, amen and amen. - "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,  who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
