On that date The Texas Senate joined the Texas House in banning critical race theory from Texas schools. Knowingly or unwittingly those senators and representatives followed the admonition to civil leadership given in Romans 13 to encourage good.
“Texas roundly rejects the ‘woke’ philosophies that espouse that one race or sex is better than another and that someone, by virtue of their race or sex, is innately racist, oppressive, or sexist,” said Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.

Itâs not just the homosexual movement impacting the view of marriage, but the wide acceptance of pre- and non-marital sex even among purported Christians.

Mark Lee Dixon, leader of Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn, hopes to see the effort to restrict abortion at the local level become a national movement. The reason is that higher jurisdictions ranging from many state legislatures to courts, all the way up to the Supreme Court, have failed to take action on behalf of the unborn.
