US bishops’ campaign pushes p*rnographic books?!

The campaign gave money to a group collecting graphic “banned books”

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development has provided funding to a group that recently worked to collect so-called “banned books,” including those that have been deemed pornographic and inappropriate for children.

LifeSiteNews reports that the Congregations United to Serve Humanity (CUSH) received over $200,000 from the bishops’ campaign between 2012-2018 and a grant of $45,000 for 2021-2022.

This year, KUSH organized a book drive to “help stock [a] proposed LGBTQ youth center” with “banned books.”

“The reason we’re doing this is really to raise awareness,” CUSH organizer Lori Hawkins said, as reported by Kenosha News. “There’s a lot of books that are on the banned books list and have been in the past that we think people will be surprised to learn about. But we’re really looking at getting books that we can put into this library for the LGBTQ youth center.”

In a segment from the outlet that featured an interview with Hawkins, LifeSiteNews notes that among other LGBT titles for youth was “Gender Queer,” which has garnered national attention for its explicit pornographic content.

Titles such as “The LGBTQ+ History Book,” “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” and “This Book is Gay,” all of which are oriented around familiarizing young people with LGBT lifestyle through pornographic images and descriptions of sexual acts.

“This Book is Gay” also explains to young readers how “hookup” apps work.

These books have been removed from school libraries in localities around the country, often after outcry from parents, many of whom are themselves pro-LGBT and simply do not want their children to have access to X-rated content on school grounds.

As chaos, violence, and fear swirl all around us, the spirit of revival has spread quietly but mightily across our land.

A recent evangelistic outreach in Mississippi saw nearly 1,400 give their lives to Christ and hundreds more to make decisions for Him in a crusade event attended by thousands.

Hallelujah to the Lamb of God!

Rick Gage’s GO TELL AMERICA crusade had an estimated turnout of 10,000 in the outdoor amphitheater in Brandon, Mississippi across four days last month.

"We saw an incredible move of God throughout this whole campaign," Gage said, as CBN News reported. "Anyone who says evangelistic outreach events don't work anymore just needs to talk to the folks in central Mississippi."

Praise God!

Gage, the head of the Georgia-based GO TELL Ministries,  also spent time inside state prisons sharing the gospel with inmates, many of whom also gave their lives to Christ.

This outreach was coordinated with the help of scores of Jackson-area churches, who worked together to promote the event.

"They also had a prayer team bathing this crusade in prayer for months and months," Gage told The Christian Index. "They had people in a private prayer room praying throughout the crusade."

In September, the evangelist hosted a four-day event in Baxley, Georgia in September that saw a turnout of 10,000 and 1,600 making Gospel commitments.

"Our purpose is to bring together all Bible-believing churches to present the Gospel in a powerful way," Gage said.

Over the last few weeks, the establishment media has given newly elected Republican Speaker of the House, Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana a shakedown.

However, he’s been well known for some time among pro-family, conservative circles, as recently noted by the Family Research Council’s Suzanne Bowdey.

As left-leaning Politico rightly reported, Johnson is “a social conservative’s conservative,” but Bowdey adds that “more than that, he’s a man who deeply loves God and this country.”

She notes that FRC President Tony Perkins met Johnson over twenty years ago when the latter was serving in the Louisiana state legislature and the pair collaborated on a significant bill that would become one of the nation’s first laws on abortion clinic regulation.

In an interview with Perkins a few years ago, Johnson expressed how the FRC head and others had influenced his pursuit of morality through governance because they “did it right and did it well, and they followed the Lord first.”

As he also touched upon during his House speech following his surprise election last month, Johnson gives credit for his career to his God-fearing parents.

“I was blessed,” he told Perkins at the time. “I was raised in a Christian household, and my parents — I was actually the conception of a teenage pregnancy my parents’ junior year in high school. And they dropped out, decided to have me, and keep me. And that’s why I’m so pro-life today. I’m a living example of faithfulness. … They just trusted God.”

His parents worked hard to support their children and Johnson does not have “any memory of not being a Christian.”

“I got baptized in a horse trough out behind our old country church in northwest Louisiana,” he continued. “And I was just raised to know and understand and believe that faith is very real. And it was just part of the fabric of our family, and who we are.”

Let us pray for our new speaker and lawmakers in the House and across the country, that they would fear the Lord in all their ways and that we would once again become a nation that trusts in Him and follows His ways.
