SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 TPT "Don't continue to team up with unbelievers in mismatched alliances, for what partnership is there between righteousness and rebellion? Who could mingle light with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and Satan? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What friendship does God's temple have with demons? For indeed, we are the temple of the living God, just as God has said: I will make my home in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. For this reason, "Come out from among them and be separate," says the Lord. "Touch nothing that is unclean, and I will embrace you.

Warrior Wednesday: Election Integrity Erosion Are Critical Safeguards Being Rolled Back?
Jul 101:27:06Tap to summarizeThis Warrior Wednesday examines election-related legislation from the recent Louisiana legislative session and what it may signal about the direction of election administration in the state. While most attention goes to high-profile debates, many of the most consequential changes happen inside technical, procedural bills that receive far less public scrutiny. In this episode, we break down: • What changed in recent election-related legislation • How election safeguards like transparency, verification, and accountability are addressed in the law • Whether those safeguards are being maintained or incrementally adjusted over time • How authority over election administration is structured in Louisiana • Why technical legislative language matters for long-term election integrity • What voters should be watching going forward The focus is simple: understand what changed, and what it means for how elections are run in Louisiana. Because in modern governance, the most important shifts are rarely the loudest ones. SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: Hosea 3:4-5 TPT "For the Israelites will have to spend many days deprived of political leaders, outward forms of religion, and the means of foretelling the future. But afterward, the Israelites will return and again long for Yahweh their covenant God and for a David-like king. They will turn trembling in awe to Yahweh and rediscover his goodness and gifts in the future."
