Urge these 2 Christian legislators to use their God-given voices

Thursday, December 12, 2024, 8:27 am | Randy Thomasson

Urge these newly-elected, moral-values Republicans to stand and speak!

In the 2024 election, two Republican Assembly candidates won open seats previously held by Democrats.

In west Riverside County, new Republican Assemblywoman Leticia Castillo seems strongly pro-family, with faith in God. In an interview with Christian activist pastor Tim Thompson, Castillo said, “Parental rights are at risk,” and honoring God, said, “I want Him to use me as His vessel to do His work up in the State Legislature.” She asked for people’s prayers to God to help her with “staying in line with the beliefs and in God’s Word, so I don’t shift direction. That’s really important to me and I want to stay grounded.”

Likewise, another new Republican assemblyman is a pro-family Christian. Jeff Gonzalez, representing the Inland Empire and Imperial County in the southeast corner of California. Gonzalez is a Bible-based pastor endorsed by moral Christian leader Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills.

The overwhelming need of pro-family citizens — who live in California or who have family and friends to live here — is to have at least one Republican in each house of the California State Legislature who will stand and speak to expose the harm of Democrat Party politicians and their evil bills.

The real problem is, because of silence, acquiescence, and lack of exposure, the devilish Democrat Party supermajority in both houses in Sacramento have “smooth sailing” — because no current Republican legislator will reliably stir up a storm whenever a bad bill comes up on the Assembly or Senate floor.

Therefore, the priority is for conservative, constitutional, pro-family legislators to stand and raise their microphones to speak. Because when you’re in the numerical minority in Sacramento, your voice matters more than your votes. A pro-family-values legislator who speaks up gets much more done than a pro-family-values legislator who won’t (and who’s part of the problem).

ACTION: Please leave a message to communicate this vision and strategy to the two newly-elected professing Christian assemblymembers to speak to expose evil. Say something like, “Congratulations on winning your election. Please stand and speak to expose evil bills. Because your voice matters more than your voting!”

Leticia Castillo: Capitol 916-319-2058 | Corona 951-371-6860
Jeff Gonzalez: Capitol 916-319-2036 | Coachella 760-347-2360 | Imperial 760-355-8656

If you live in Castillo’s district or Gonzalez’s district, call anytime; if not, call and leave an anonymous message 6pm to 8am or on the weekend.

Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Unless the Lord had been my help,
My soul would soon have settled in silence.
If I say, “My foot slips,”
Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.
In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.
Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law,
Have fellowship with You?

The Bible, Psalm 94:16-20

How to have a real Thanksgiving

Tuesday, November 26, 2024, 5:25 pm | Randy Thomasson

What’s the real meaning of Thanksgiving?

Turn the word around and it’s GivingThanks.

But to whom do you give thanks (since you thank a person)?

On Thanksgiving Day and hopefully every day, humble, in-reality people will thank Creator God in Jesus’ Name for His creation, sustenance, Word, love, etc. Because, without Him, we’d be nothing and have nothing!

A great way to help those at your table give God glory is to ask, “What are you thankful to God for?” This substantive question, when safely and patiently asked, helps others give God the credit where credit is due. (You might need to remind them, “What do you specifically thank God for?” instead of just being glad about something.)

See these videos to stimulate you and others to praise Creator God in Jesus’ Name: Thankful | Thank You God

Remember, a grateful heart helps everyone. So challenge yourself to be thankful. Take a minute to reignite your soul to thank the Author of Life for air, food, water, and our basic necessities. Focus on the One who made the sun in the sky, the oceans, the animals, every original food and substance, and all we rely on, including the ground we walk on.

Lastly, stop and realize there are two types of people: Those who sincerely thank God, and those who “did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful” (Romans 1:21). And consider how thanking God not only gives God His due, but also calms your mind, since gratitude and worry cannot coexist in the same moment.

“…that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”
Jesus Christ, Savior of the world and God in the flesh, in Matthew 5:45

“Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.”
From the 1674 Christian hymn by English Pastor Thomas Ken

Were there any moral victories in California?

UPDATE Dec. 2, 2024: Pro-family Christian Republicans Leticia Castillo and Jeff Gonzalez were sworn in today after flipping Democrat Party seats. Pray that they speak in committee and on the Assembly floor for what’s right in God’s sight! Mostly-conservative Republican Steven Choi also flipped an Orange County state senate seat and was sworn in today.

Yes, there are victories to celebrate!

Of the eight bad propositions, there were four defeated: The foolish and harmful Prop. 5, Prop. 6, Prop. 32, and Prop. 33. These were stopped because majority of voters understood them (and weren’t led astray by establishment lies, as they were with Prop. 3 marriage anarchy).

The defeated bad propositions on the California ballot:

Prop. 5 would have permitted higher property taxes (attacking Prop. 13 from 1978) by lowering the “vote threshold from 66.67% to 55% for local special taxes and bond measures to fund housing projects and public infrastructure.” Targeted all property owners.More about Prop. 5

Prop. 6 would have called it “slavery” to make prisoners do work they don’t wish to do. This soft-on-crime proposition would have prohibited the Department of Corrections from disciplining (removing privileges from) convicts who refuse their work assignments. More about Prop. 6

Prop. 32 would have increased the “minimum wage” to $18/hr. for all California employees (killing even more jobs and businesses). More about Prop. 32

Prop. 33 would have permitted cities and counties to impose deceptive “rent control,” resulting in fewer rentals and higher rents, as frustrated landlords sell their rental houses and duplexes to become non-rental primary residences, and as developers lack investors to build new rentals. More about Prop. 33

And of course, Prop. 36’s decisive passage to empower county district attorneys to make retail theft a crime again was a great victory over Newsom & the Democrat-Party-run Legislature’s pro-criminal agenda.

What’s more, in Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, pro-criminal district attorneys were fired. George-Soros-funded, pro-criminal district attorneys George Gascón of Los Angeles County and Pamela Price of Alameda County were booted from office.

Pro-family pick-ups: In the California State Legislature, there STILL might be two moral, pro-family Republican pick-ups in the Assembly and one Republican pick-up in the State Senate:

Jeff Gonzalez is the Republican candidate for State Assembly District 36 in San Bernardino and Imperial counties. Gonzalez is a Bible-based Christian pastor, who’s likely to speak and fight for your moral-social-fiscal-conservative-constitutional values.

Leticia Castillo is a professing, Bible-believing Christian Republican candidate for State Assembly District 58 in western Riverside County, plus Grand Terrace in San Bernardino County. If elected, she is also likely to speak up for moral and family values.

Steven Choi, the Republican candidate for State Senate District 37 in Orange County (while in the State Assembly, Choi voted conservative most of the time, but was not known as much of a speaker or fighter).

Bad laws passed by the Democrat-Party-controlled California Legislature and signed by Democrat-Party governors mean the longest “counting” of ballots nationwide. It’s terrible that California’s counties don’t have to report their final counts until Dec. 6 and the California Secretary of State won’t certify the election until Dec. 13.

Let this long “counting” be a reminder to us all: If you want election integrity and investigations to expose it, always vote against Democrats and RINOs, who obstruct the “one person, one vote” American foundation of representative government.

What’s more, the next Attorney General of the United States needs to conduct a tough audit of the vote-counting practices of California and other Democrat-Party-controlled states.

Because the days of blanket trust are gone, and the burden is on vote counters to provide evidence of accuracy.

You have to ask why the Democrat Party politicians and their slavish bureaucrats (big-county registrars of voters) are so opposed to voter ID with photo, so giddy about littering the state with vote-by-mail ballots, so addicted to computer-based voting, and permitting a WHOLE MONTH of “counting,” “processing,” “curing,” and more?
