On Monday, May 3, 202I, I received an email from California State Assemblyman Phillip Chen, alerting me that the state of California is releasing 76,000 violent criminals from California prisons! He emphatically shared that funding is not the issue, and that “California has a $34 billion dollar surplus.”

The movement of thousands of children from Central America to the American border is alarming. When we watch the news, politicians on both sides condemn what is happening: the lack of enforcement of laws, the trafficking of humans, and the poverty causing the migration. As Christians, we have the hope that the Word of God still has the answers for a situation that threatens to destabilize our nation.

El movimiento de miles de niños desde Centroamérica hasta la frontera con Estados Unidos es alarmante. Cuando vemos las noticias, los políticos de ambos lados condenan lo que está sucediendo: la falta de aplicación de las leyes, el tráfico de seres humanos y la pobreza que causa la migración. Como cristianos, tenemos la esperanza de que la Palabra de Dios todavía tenga las respuestas para una situación que amenaza con desestabilizar nuestra nación.

Church United has been actively engaged speaking truth to House Resolution Bill 5. I’ve dubbed it the Christian Discrimination Act since May 2018 when the House passed a proposed law that would force churches and Christian organization to hire lesbians, homosexuals, bisexuals, transgendered, queer/questioning people.

Zac Morrison era considerado un prodigio. Para cuando ingresó a la universidad con una beca de música a finales de los ‘70s, ya era competente en 12 instrumentos. Como un joven negro, Zac se crió en varios barrios integrados donde las familias negras, blancas, hispanas, asiáticas e isleños son co-padres.

It wasn’t a census but nearly a dozen pastors from across California, and four states, traveled to Ventura County in August to make their voices count. They did so to stand up for the faith—and for a Newbury Park pastor who prayerfully defied Gov. Gavin Newsom’s order banning indoor worship services. It was a precious sight to behold as, once again, Church United pastors took a dramatic stand for Biblical principles in their community.

In a season of government-forced shutdowns and "thou-shall-nots," the Lord is still having His way. He is on the move and His blessings over Church United are no exception. Over the summer, my wife, Amanda, and I were invited by Daystar TV to share the story of Church United and our continuing work highlighting the fundamental truth that—through the transformational power of Jesus Christ—sexual identity can be healed.
