Americans should be praying for Donald Trump and Joe Biden

Trump and Biden

Eight days removed from last week’s presidential election, questions and controversy continue to swirl and simmer in America’s political world.

While television networks have projected former Vice-President Joe Biden president-elect, President Trump and his campaign have filed numerous lawsuits in key battleground states alleging widespread voter fraud.

It’s likely that many of these matters won’t be resolved for several weeks, though as states begin certifying results and the Electoral College vote looms in early December, resolution remains on the not too distant horizon.

As President Trump Vows Legal Fight, Networks Declare Joe Biden President-Elect

Trump vs. Biden

After days of counting ballots in multiple states, the television networks have declared former Vice President Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election.

Citing charges and suspicion of widespread voter fraud, President Donald Trump has not yet conceded the race, and is not likely to do so in the face of pending litigation and expected recounts in several key states.

Regardless of party or position, this “COVID election” has taken its toll on everyone.

The Election Remains in Question – My Thoughts

2020 Election

As many of us expected, the outcome of the 2020 election remains up in the air.

It’s not what anybody wanted – and it’s left most everybody a bit tense and unsettled.

The combination of a record turnout and a dizzying maze of mail-in ballot rules and regulations have put many of the electoral outcomes in key states in the “too close to call” category.

As of this writing, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada remain an open question.

Today’s Amy Coney Barrett Confirmation is a Victory for Tomorrow’s America

Amy Coney Barrett

The United States Senate’s narrow but decisive vote to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett as only the fifth woman jurist on the high court brings to a close a remarkable chapter in the 2020 presidential campaign.

But Monday night’s historic vote is a triumph for not just Judge Barrett and President Trump, who has now successfully navigated three selections to the Supreme Court.

Judge Barrett’s ascent to the bench is a victory for decency, goodness and belief in conservative judicial ideals.

Thinking About After the Election – Before the Election

American flag

Election Day 2020 draws ever closer, even though tens of millions of citizens have already cast their ballots – a startling record in this unprecedented pandemic season.

I hope everyone reading this has voted or plans to do so between now and November 3rd. Even though experts are predicting a record turnout, the sad reality is that tens of millions of people won’t bother to participate in the electoral process.

Although every candidate running is a flawed person, voting is a sacred privilege.

VIDEO: When You Vote Life, You’re Voting for a Child’s Right to Dream

Vote Life

Dr. Tyler Sexton is a highly talented pediatrician with an unrelenting passion for helping children through their challenges.

Thankfully, there are a lot of physicians who fit that description – and your children may very well call one of them their personal doctor. But I suspect few have met anyone quite like my friend Tyler.

Born prematurely and not expected to survive, Tyler Sexton was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 18 months of age. Throughout the course of his young life, he endured 16 surgeries and countless setbacks.

Judge Amy Coney Barrett Represents a New, Conservative Feminism

As I write, the third day of Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings are underway.

Tuesday’s marathon questioning ran the gamut from Democrats pressing Judge Barrett on the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), abortion and issues related to LGBT matters.

Through it all, the judge was poised, articulate and clearly in command. It’s obvious to even many of her detractors why she’s held in such high esteem.

Modern-day Supreme Court confirmation hearings have evolved into national platforms for senators to make extended statements as well as ask questions.

VIDEO: Please Pray for Amy Coney Barrett

Judge Amy Coney Barrett

October got off to a dramatic start last week with news of President and Mrs. Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis. We continue to pray for their complete recovery and return to full activity.

Coming right on the heels of that story, as well as the highly anticipated vice-presidential debate this evening in Salt Lake City, is the start of Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court.

As I told a reporter last week, Judge Barrett represents the very best of American women, possessing the tremendous combination of a mother’s gentle heart with a fierce, brilliant legal mind.

Please Pray for President & Mrs. Trump

In times of both individual and corporate need, Christians bring their concerns and petitions to the Lord. I hope you will join me and the entire Focus on the Family ministry in praying for President and Mrs. Trump in light of their COVID-19 diagnosis last night.

It is time to set politics aside and pray for the Trump’s health and full recovery, as well as anyone within their circle who was exposed to the virus. We believe God is sovereign and that nothing catches Him by surprise.

Vice President Mike Pence Joins Focus on the Family Radio Program

Mike Pence

We reached out this past summer to both Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris, the Democrat candidate for vice president, and invited both of them to appear separately on the Focus on the Family radio program.

As a non-partisan 501(C)(3) organization, our ministry cannot and will not endorse or advocate for political candidates – but we can discuss issues.

Vice President Pence accepted our invitation. We’ve yet to receive a reply from Senator Harris.
