Today we celebrate the American worker—the entrepreneurs w/ their dreams & the workers w/their skills who built this nation. But it’s troubling to see the disregard we now see for hard work. Almost every business is trying to hire people, but so many don’t want to work. #LaborDay
With @POTUS45 Trump, the US had the strongest economy, some say since Eisenhower, & we had more people working than at any time in our history—but it’s evaporating. COVID had an impact, but political mismanagement has dealt a debilitating blow.
Repeated stimulus payments & giveaway packages have encouraged people not to go to work. The Republicans seem to know how to get people to work and the Democrats seem to know how to tax your money and give it to people as an incentive not to work.
God created us to work. On this Labor Day, join me in thanking Him for His hand of blessing on this nation through the years. And pray for America and our leaders to turn to God and ask for His forgiveness, His mercy, and His continued blessings. That is what we need most.

I don’t think I have ever seen the level of hatred we are seeing around us today. It’s chilling. Where does this hate come from? It comes from the human heart.
America has a spiritual crisis. We have turned our back on our Creator, the Author of our freedom, and the One who has bestowed on us the bounty of this land that we enjoy.
Just because other people’s hearts are filled with hate, don’t let hate fill yours. Let God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, give you the strength, the joy, the fulfillment, and the peace that only He can. Jesus Himself instructs us to love our enemies.

.@JoeBiden has warned of a “dark winter” for our nation. But the dark winter we’re facing is not due just to #COVID19, it’s due to the moral decline & the political corruption we see throughout the US. My prayer is that truth will prevail in the political crisis we’re facing.
My father @BillyGraham once told me that he had met w/Winston Churchill back in the late 1940’s & Winston Churchill said that he had no hope for the future of our world. Outside of God, that is right—there is no hope.
We could face a dark period of history as God turns His back on our nation because of its sins & our politicians embracing, & even flaunting, sin. Sadly to say, even some churches are embracing what God defines as sin. We need to confess our sins & turn to Him in true repentance.

While campaigning for Joe Biden, Jane Fonda said, “I just think COVID is God’s gift to the left...” The long-time progressive said the virus which has reportedly killed 200,000+ Americans—“has ripped the Band-Aid off who [@POTUS @realDonaldTrump] is & what he stands for.” Wow.
Does Jane Fonda realize that maybe this terrible pandemic has also “ripped the Band-Aid off” what the socialist progressives really stand for and the disastrous way many of them have governed their cities and states across the nation in this crisis? thehill.com/homenews/media…
Isn’t it a shame that @POTUS @realDonaldTrump’s enemies would forfeit a booming economy—and the health, livelihoods, and the very lives of Americans—if it is a way they could win an election. My prayer is that God would intervene and save this nation.

I was surprised when I left the White House on Thursday night and saw firsthand what was going on in the streets. These so-called protestors are not protestors, they are anarchists, working to start riots and fuel the fires of unrest and hate. foxnews.com/politics/verno…
Senator @RandPaul and his wife, @RepVernonJones, & others could have been badly hurt as they were leaving after @POTUS @realDonaldTrump’s acceptance speech. There should be a full investigation to find out who is behind this and those responsible.
These people are not defending a cause, they’re trying to disrupt and destroy. Whoever is paying for it should be considered an enemy to our country and held accountable. Maybe the Attorney General could look into it.

I appreciate that Sam Coonrod’s commitment is to the Lord Jesus Christ above all else. He has enough guts to state the truth about the Black Lives Matters organization & to stand for his convictions—even if it means standing alone. God bless him! foxnews.com/sports/giants-…
“I’m a Christian. I just believe I can’t kneel before anything besides God.” —Sam Coonrod, @SFGiants
Sam also pointed out the Black Lives Matters organization’s embrace of Marxism & the destruction of traditional family values & said, “I just can’t get on board with that.”

.@NPR reported that 600K+ people had died from #COVID19 worldwide. That’s a tragic number that should concern all of us & prompt us to take precautions. However, we must also keep the number in perspective & fight against a pandemic of fear. 1/4 npr.org/sections/coron…
Here are a few other numbers to consider that are also concerning & tragic:
· 17M+ people die of cardiovascular disease every year worldwide.
· Cancer was responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018, & is the 2nd leading cause of death globally.

· @WHO estimates that almost 800K people die from suicide every year.
· Between 2010–2014, on average, 56M induced abortions occurred worldwide each year.
· Each year, 1.35 million people are killed on roadways around the world.
