How to put Jesus first at Christmas

We at SaveCalifornia.com believe in God and family — and we know families that pray together tend to stay together.

So we are strong advocates of returning Christmas to its true meaning as the “festival of Christ.” Because anyone who believes in Jesus can and should renew their excitement about Jesus during Christmas.

Remember that Christmas is about a miracle: the Incarnation where the Word became flesh and God became man; and the Birth of Jesus, the Savior of the world, proclaiming Good News that people’s sins can be forgiven.

In light of the amazing love of God revealed through Jesus Christ, believers should resist personal and cultural traditions that diminish adoration of Christ at Christmas. It’s a struggle. But at His own birthday celebration, shouldn’t Jesus be the center of attention?

SaveCaliforniaMinute_122313_200X160Listen to my SaveCalifornia.com Minute for ideas on how to glorify Jesus at Christmas, such as: reading aloud from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke about the incarnation and birth of Jesus, talking about it, and praying to Him.

Other ideas include singing songs of praise, watching a good “Jesus film,” and sharing around the table why you appreciate Jesus. What can you come up with?

Despite being criticized for being “too religious” Schultz got his way in his 1965 movie. Enjoy this classic moment from this classic film as Linus explains to Charlie Brown the true meaning of Christmas.

Give the gift of parental rights

Friday, December 6, 2013, 8:30 pm | Randy Thomasson

gifts_v14You know how a small word of encouragement can make a big difference?

Sometimes it takes just one person to affirm why we do what we do. Like Missy, who wrote on our Facebook page: “Thank you Randy for all you do for us parents.”

It’s not long or fancy. But it caught my attention. And it means a lot.

Because reaching, activating, and fighting for the rights of parents and the protection of children is a top priority of the SaveCalifornia.com team.

And even in this Christmas season, the moral assault upon families is intense. Even Christmas itself is under attack!

But just as the Liberal Left doesn’t stop pushing their immoral agenda, neither will SaveCalifornia.com stop boldly fighting the good fight for children and families.

And with your help today, we can continue to make an impact for good — for parental consent, for informed consent, for man-woman marriage, for the importance of fatherhood and motherhood, and to protect children from moral ruin.

Will you empower SaveCalifornia.com to represent you in the battle? To work, lead, and fight for parental rights statewide in 2014? Right now, you can help make the difference for us.

In 2013, SaveCalifornia.com led for parental consent on many fronts, including:

  • Alerting fathers and mothers to the sexually perverse agenda happening behind their backs in government schools.
  • Informing parents of the 10 “LGBT” laws harming children in California public schools.
  • Rallying dads and moms to boycott sexual indoctrination events, such as “Day of Silence” and “Harvey Milk Gay Day.”
  • Providing both short- and long-term educational solutions for families.
  • Producing “Church Rescue Packets” showing pastors how to start low-cost schools to rescue children in their congregations and communities.
  • Reaching countless parents — through media interviews, internet, social media, and purchased radio ads — who otherwise don’t realize the threat to their rights.
  • Empowering parents with the tools they need to protect the hearts, minds, souls, and bodies of their children.

You can help achieve more successes in 2014 with your support of SaveCalifornia.com and our Campaign for Children and Families. Will you consider giving a gift of $20 or more today to further our defense of parental rights, the foundation of family?

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration at this important time. Together, we’re standing for the best values the world has ever known — God’s moral virtues for the benefit of mankind. Thank you.

Your values were championed on Russian TV

Tuesday, November 26, 2013, 6:00 pm | Randy Thomasson

RussianTVaYou’ll be pleased that God’s values for children and families were seen and heard on a leading Russian TV news program.

In November, SaveCalifornia.com and the Sacramento mom we brought to talk to a Russian reporter and cameraman helped educate millions of Russian-speaking people in Eastern Europe, as well as in the United States.

Right now, Russia and other Slavic nations are being intensely targeted by homosexual-bisexual-transsexual activists, who are demanding official approval.

But my evidence-based moral arguments and the reporter’s eye-opening details from San Francisco and Sacramento are convincing Slavic families of the unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, tyrannical “LGBT” threat to children, parental rights, and religious freedom. We’re motivating them to stand and fight, and not back down.

Watch the 13-minute RTR report and read the partial English-to-Russian-to-English transcript below:

Reporter: These brightly colored children’s books are the ABC’s of gay love and non-traditional lifestyles introduced into American schools in the state of California starting from kindergarten age 5.

This illustrated book titled “Daddy’s RussianTVbRoommate” is meant for readers as young as 4-years-old. The story is simple: dad divorces mom and marries a brunette man in a bright Hawaiian shirt. They live together and the book indicates that this is normal. They sleep together, shave together, and here we see the mom who is clearly supporting their relationship.

The children are also taught in their schools about their friends, the transsexuals. How to dress like a man or woman is described here in this book. [reading from book] Ruby was born male, she identifies as female. Ruby sometimes wears her favorite dress and puts on lipstick and eyeshadow.

Randy Thomasson: “They’re trying to normalize what’s not normal. For example, if a boy says that I want to dress like a girl, then governmental American schools will reply that, ‘Oh! This is a good feeling, so we will help you change your clothing.’ But this child is in need of psychological help. More than often, the reason for this psychological disorder is the child was subjected to sexual abuse in his family.”

Nadia Otterstad: “This small minority group is changing all of our laws and this is putting pressure on us — normal traditional families — because we are increasingly losing our rights as parents. We honestly don’t have rights, I would say. Our children will not go to public school. My husband and I want to educate our children at home because that is where we as parents will have control of our children.”

RussianTVcRandy Thomasson: “The LGBTQ activists all say that they are the victims but are in fact victimizing everyone else. For example, here in California, if you own a Christian bookstore, selling religious church books, and a man that is dressed like a woman — a transsexual — applies for a job — if you don’t hire him, you may be subjected to a fine of $150,000. The same also goes for all other businesses.”

Randy Thomasson: “Sexual practices are not civil rights, but a behavior. That is why many African Americans are offended with this — they know what true civil rights are and aren’t. Race is obviously identity, but LBGTQ groups stole this idea of civil rights, they hijacked it.”

TAKE ACTION: Educate others with the truth. Please forward or share this information with your friends today.
