September 11

This week marked the 22nd anniversary of the savage attack on the United States by radical Islamists. The day was filled with death and destruction, but it also brought out the courage and faith of millions of Americans.

Christians are divided today on the fundamental question of what our role is in "the public square." I think our model of Christian citizenship was Todd Beamer on one of the hijacked flights, United Airlines Flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco, on that fateful morning.

Beamer was one of the passengers who tried to call home as the plane went off course and headed toward Washington, D.C. He ended up speaking with a woman named Lisa Jefferson, who worked in the GTE phone company headquarters in Chicago. Beamer and Jefferson talked for 13 minutes. She promised him that if he didn't survive the hijacking she would pass on his love to his pregnant wife and their two children.

Then Todd and Lisa recited together the Lord's Prayer and Psalm 23, "...though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." Lisa Jefferson said she could hear other passengers joining in. Moments later, she heard Todd Beamer yelling, "Are you ready? Okay. Let's roll."

The passengers then can be heard fighting the hijackers in a battle that ultimately brought down the plane in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, with no survivors.

The attack on America that day brought great pain and suffering to countless people. But our enemies wanted it to be even worse. Experts believe Flight 93 was headed to the White House or Congress. Others think the target was a nuclear power plant. But the worst didn't happen because, among others, a faithful Christian man laid down his life to save his fellow citizens.

If America is going to be saved today, Christian men and women must pray for God's strength and courage. Then we must boldly act to save and restore our country as "One Nation Under God."

Harris vs. Trump: What Each Candidate Wants Most for America

We are now in the closing argument phase of the presidential campaign. Candidates are presenting their most compelling cases for why still undecided voters should choose them. Donald Trump is outlining what his second term would look like. He is pushing • tax cuts for working and middle-class Americans, • a secure border, • ending inflation, • energy independence, and • protecting religious liberty and free speech.

Inspiration That Could Save America

There is always an October surprise in every election, and we may have just experienced it. More on that later. The presidential campaigns are deploying resources and crafting messages to clarify the choice before us. Former President Donald Trump spent half an hour as a McDonald’s employee, effectively turning it into “Donald’s” as he served Pennsylvania families burgers and fries. At a rally in the same state, steel workers gathered around him and gave him a hard hat, insisting that Trump saved the steel industry. Then Trump showed his support of the American people by attending an NFL game. The stadium erupted in chants of “USA! USA!”

To Be Salt and Light, We Must Be Involved in America's Elections

The polls are shifting again. The race is still a toss-up, but virtually every poll shows former President Donald Trump with the momentum. Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has adopted a new tone. It started with a joy, joy, joy vibe. Now, the emphasis is fear, fear, fear. Harris labels Trump “dangerous.” Her surrogates compare him to Hitler. After two serious assassination attempts on Trump, this rhetoric could inspire more violence. Please pray for the safety of Trump and Harris.
