Billy Graham was once asked: “I’m sick of politicians and Political campaigns, and I’ve decided I’m not going to vote this year. It wouldn’t do any good anyway, because just one vote won’t make any difference. Why bother?” Here is his response:Let me ask you a question: What would happen to our Nation if everyone decided not to vote? You know the answer- before lone we would lose our freedoms and be ruled by a power-hungry dictatorship. No system of government is perfect, including ours- but all it will take to make it collapse is an indifferent citizenry. But I also urge you to vote for another reason- I believe it is a God -given responsibility. When Jesus walked this earth, the whole civilized world was under the authority of one individual: the Roman emperor (or Ceasar). He wasn’t elected by popular vote, nor did ordinary people have an opportunity to express their views through the Ballot box. And the Roman government wasn’t perfect; in fact, it promoted paganism and could be brutal. And yet Jesus taught that people still had a responsibility to encourage and support their government in every way they possibly could. He said, “Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar’s and to God what is God ‘s (Matt.22:21). The same principal is true for us today: We should do everything we can do to encourage and support good Government- including voting. Understand the issues… know where the candidates stand on them …. ask God to guide you—and then vote.Beyond that, however, pray for our Nation and its Leaders ---not just the President, but all who have been entrusted with public office. It’s the most important thing you can do. The Bible commands us to pray for “all in authority, that we may live peaceably and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” (1 Timothy 2:2)

MINGLED JOY AND SORROW
This first week of October holds both a joyous occasion and the anniversary of one of the most sorrowful days in Jewish history. Let’s lift in prayer the Jewish people, especially in Israel, at this time of conflicting emotions. October 7 Remembrance Very rarely is a major historical event known simply by its date. July 4 (in the U.S.), September 11, and now, October 7. This marks the third anniversary of the brutal Hamas attack on Israel. It is a solemn opportunity to remember the people who were killed, wounded, or traumatized and the thousands of families whose lives were permanently changed on that day. We weep with those who weep, while holding onto the hope that God is the God of life, justice, and redemption. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.— Hebrews 13:3
TALARICO’S CHURCH MINISTER SAYS HE’LL ‘CHANGE HIS TUNE BACK’ AFTER ELECTION
An undercover video shows a longtime minister at James Talarico’s Austin church claiming his campaign encouraged him to moderate his positions on transgender issues to win the election. by Brandon Waltens September 17, 2026 A longtime minister at Democrat U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico’s Austin church was caught on undercover video claiming he is moderating his positions on transgender issues to win the election and will “change his tune back” afterward. The footage, first reported by The Daily Wire, features Rev. Babs Miller, a minister at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, where Talarico has long attended and preached. The outlet reports that Miller has been part of the church community since the 1990s and was ordained there in 2014.
During the conversation, an undercover journalist brought up Talarico’s previous statement that “God is non-binary” and noted that Talarico had recently walked back the remark. Miller responded that Talarico was receiving advice she did not believe he should be following. “I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he’ll change his tune back to where he was,” said Miller. When the journalist suggested Talarico had to “kind of play this game,” Miller agreed. “That’s what his campaign has convinced him of,” said Miller. “Is that the Democratic Party is backing off on their stances on trans and all of this, and so his staff is encouraging him to kind of do the same thing, just for the next 50 weeks, whatever days or whatever it is, days I guess. I think it’s bad advice, personally, but if it helps him win, okay.” The comments come shortly after Talarico has publicly walked back several of his previous positions and statements on transgender issues. During a recent interview with Fox News, Talarico said he would “absolutely” support a national ban on gender-mutilation procedures for minors and that he only believed there are two genders, as opposed to the six he once claimed. However, in 2023, Talarico voted against legislation to ban gender-mutilation procedures on minors and has said that the people he loves the most are “trans children.” St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church has previously drawn scrutiny during Talarico’s Senate campaign. Talarico has described the Austin church’s history of progressive activism as influential in shaping his faith and political career. During a 2023 podcast appearance, Talarico said the church was active in LGBT issues during the 1990s and later housed a mother and son here illegally who he said were facing deportation by federal immigration authorities. “That was the tradition that I was brought up in,” Talarico said at the time. “It’s what led me to teach public school students on the west side of San Antonio, led me to run an education nonprofit and then led me to run for office.” The church has also faced scrutiny over sexually explicit and LGBT-themed books available in its library, including “Gender Queer,” “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” and “This Book Is Gay.” Republican Ken Paxton’s campaign seized on the undercover footage, arguing that Miller’s comments supported its previous accusations that Talarico has changed his positions for political purposes. “The video should come as no surprise. James Talarico’s pastor just admitted what everyone already knew: He is lying to Texans to get elected, and as soon as he does, he will flip-flop on the positions he has a record of supporting,” Paxton campaign spokeswoman Madison Cercy told Texas Scorecard.
Texas Scorecard also asked Talarico’s campaign whether Miller’s characterization of his campaign strategy was accurate and whether the campaign had a response to the video. The campaign did not respond before publication.
AN EVER-PRESENT HELPER
Whatever today holds, God has given every believer direct access to His help through the Holy Spirit. Related Scripture John 14:16-18, John 16:7, Bible in a Year, Matthew 5-7, John 14:16-18 Have you ever wished you could reach God directly—anytime, anywhere? The good news is that through the Holy Spirit, you can do exactly that. Even the disciples couldn’t live successfully without divine aid. That is why the Lord insisted the men wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit to come before they began sharing their faith. Jesus told them, “It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you” (John 16:7). While Jesus walked the earth, His physical presence was limited to one place at a time. Now, however, God’s help is readily available through the Holy Spirit, who indwells all believers and is constantly present with each one. Thanks to the Spirit, Christians can become the people God designed them to be. Through the Helper’s knowledge and power, we can be devoted Christ-followers. The Spirit’s work includes opening our minds to God’s truth, providing strength beyond our own, and comforting us during heartache. Our heavenly Father loves people so much that He provided an ever-present Helper to all who place their faith in Jesus. Whatever we face today, the Holy Spirit is with us—ready to guide, strengthen, and comfort. In Touch Ministry
TO MY READERSHIP: I normally do not release article of a political nature, however as a Christian, I felt that I had a moral obligation to provide you the following information on a man running for the Texas Senate position, who is intentionally lying to the people of Texas in order to win the Senate seat. The man he is running against may also have some moral issues, however, who they vote for may have a tremendous impact on their children and Grandchildren. If you have friends who live in Texas, you may want to forward this article to them.
