GUEST POST: Together ’22 – Cotton Bowl Stadium Event Features Christian Speakers and Artists

By: Jeff Johnston, The Daily Citizen

In June 1972, Campus Crusade for Christ sponsored Explo ’72, a music, evangelism and training event featuring the Rev. Billy Graham and Dr. Bill Bright. They brought together artists like Love Song, Andrae Crouch and the Disciples, Larry Norman, Children of the Day, Johnny and June Carter Cash and Kris Kristofferson.

Around 80,000 college and high school students came together at the Cotton Bowl stadium in Dallas, Texas. After training in evangelism, the students scattered across the city to spread the good news, before heading back home to share their faith in cities across the country.

Focus President Jim Daly Statement on Leaked Draft of Dobbs’ Opinion

“The Supreme Court’s Office of Public Information has confirmed the authenticity of the draft of the Dobbs’ opinion leaked to media – but stressed the highly-anticipated decision is still pending. I hope and pray the strong sentiments and solid legal reasoning expressed in the document will soon be final.

“Returning this issue to the states is an important first step in the effort to relegate the barbarism of abortion to the dust heap of history. Championing the dignity and respect of all life is not radical – it’s the mark and measure of a civilized culture.

Focus on the Family President Jim Daly Applauds Unanimous Decision Upholding Flying of Christian Flag

The U.S. Supreme Court’s unanimous decision today upholding the constitutionality of a Christian flag displayed on government property in Shurtleff v. City of Boston is welcome though long overdue news. It should be obvious to all that banning one flag – the Christian flag – out of dozens flown on behalf of civic groups at events on public property over a period of years is unacceptable discrimination against the Christian viewpoint. Thankfully, the Court got it right in this instance.

Freedom is the Pathway Out of the COVID-19 Quagmire

Results of the autopsy of intrusive and overreaching government policies related to the COVID -19 global pandemic are beginning to emerge – and they paint a disturbing and disastrous picture. 

A just released Johns Hopkins study concluded lockdowns weren’t effective in reducing mortality rates – and in fact did great damage to the economy along with children’s mental, emotional and academic health. For far too many adults, forced isolation exacerbated loneliness, increased anxiety and drastically diminished quality of life.

Why We Still March for Life

I’m in Washington, D.C,. today ahead of tomorrow’s annual March for Life – the world’s largest gathering of individuals committed and dedicated to saving and protecting the most innocent among us.

Back on January 22, 1974 – the one-year anniversary of the horrific and ill-fated Roe v. Wade decision – Washington lawyer Nellie Gray led a morning of lobbying and an afternoon demonstration of over 20,000 people on the Capitol steps. In response, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood declared:

“The Right to Life people have not accepted the Supreme Court decision and continue to press to resist it, subvert it and to turn it back.”

Planned Parenthood has been wrong about countless things, but they were right then (and now) about our refusal to accept the killing of pre-born children.

It is Time to Right an Historic and Evil Wrong

It is time. 

In fact, it’s way past time. 

For nearly a half-century, abortion on demand has been legal in all fifty states leading to the tragic holocaust of over 60 million innocent babies.  

It is time to right an historically devastating and evil wrong and overturn the fatally flawed Roe decision from 1973. 

I’m in Washington, D.C., and will be closely following today’s hearing of the Mississippi Dobbs case inside the Supreme Court. Due to the pandemic, the courtroom will be closed to spectators, but the audio of the proceedings will be available in real time.

Remembering the Pilgrims’ Journey

For a lot of us, Thanksgiving is about family, football, and pumpkin pie. We don’t often reflect on the origin – and therefore the true meaning – of the holiday. Doing so is a great way to deepen our gratitude for the opportunity to live in a nation so blessed by God.

With that in mind, while you’re fixing your Thanksgiving feast today, or heading over to Grandma’s in the car, tune into our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Remembering the Pilgrims’ Journey.”

Jay Milbrandt, a professor at Bethel University in Minnesota, is with us to peel back the layers of history and get us back to what the first Thanksgiving was all about.

Election ’21 Confirms – Mothers and Fathers Matter

Don’t mess with moms and dads – that’s the prevailing takeaway coming out of yesterday’s two major electoral races, especially in the state of Virginia.

Virginia Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin’s victory over former Governor Terry McAuliffe culminated a bruising campaign, with much of it focused on a rising backlash against the “woke” policies of the radical left. 

At the current time, New Jersey’s gubernatorial race remains too close to call.

Pundits suggest the turning point of the race in Virginia came when Mr.

As Supreme Court Hears Texas Abortion Case, Texas Governor Greg Abbott Joins Focus on the Family Radio Program

All eyes will be on the Supreme Court today as the nine justices hear arguments in the highly anticipated six-week “heartbeat bill” case, Whole Women’s Health v. Jackson and United States v. Texas. 

Given the magnitude of the moment and the fact that the state of Texas has been in the middle of not only this case but other pressing national issues, we decided to invite the Lone Star state governor, Greg Abbott, onto the program today. 

Governor Abbott has been married to his wife, Cecilia, for 40 years and the chief executive of Texas since 2014.

Join us LIVE in Dallas on Saturday for See Life 2021!

It all started with a simple but big idea:

“Show the world the baby!”

That was the message I shared with our Focus team back in 2019, when we made the decision to perform a live ultrasound of a pre-born baby in the middle of New York City’s Times Square.

Back in January of that year, then New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and his legislature had celebrated the expansion of abortion rights in their state. And when I say “celebrated” – I mean it.
