Church in America, Wake Up! | Jeremiah 6:16-19 | Gary Hamrick
On the eve of the 2020 Presidential Election, Pastor Gary delivers a sermon to challenge the church in America to “wake up!” Our nation is at a crossroads and our only hope is for Christians to stand for righteousness and vote our values! To be disengaged and apathetic will result in the advancement of a liberal, progressive, demonic-inspired agenda that is bent on the destruction of America. Christians need to wake up and realize that we are in a spiritual battle for the heart and soul of our nation and the heart and soul of the next generation. Stand up for righteousness! Stand up for truth! And let your voices be heard for the glory of God!

Nina Turner: Viagra Prescription
Men’s health bill[edit]
As a political statement against legislation attempting to restrict women’s access to contraception and abortion,[7] in March 2012, Turner introduced a bill to regulate men’s reproductive health. Under her proposed S.B. 307, before getting a prescription for erectile dysfunction drugs, a man would have to
- get a notarized affidavit signed by a recent sexual partner affirming his impotency,
- consult with a sex therapist and
- receive a cardiac stress test.
She said the proposed statute would be parallel to recent legislation written by male legislators restricting women’s reproductive health and that she was equally concerned about men’s reproductive health.
“Even the FDA recommends that doctors make sure that assessments are taken that target the nature of the symptoms, whether it’s physical or psychological,” Turner said. “I certainly want to stand up for men’s health and take this seriously and legislate it the same way mostly men say they want to legislate a woman’s womb.”[8] The proposed legislation was not meant to be passed, but as a way of bringing attention to similar bills targeted towards women.[7]

TYT: Don’t Call Evangelicals Christians
“Conservative evangelical Christians in the United States are President Donald Trump’s most staunch supporters, despite the fact that the president is a serial adulterer who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault and who regularly deploys racist attacks on political opponents. A Washington Post profile of Trump-loving evangelicals shows that many of them felt they were under assault by former President Barack Obama — and one of them pointed to the Obama White House lighting up in rainbow colors in 2015 to celebrate the Supreme Court’s ruling legalizing LGBT marriage.”*
