Dear Partner in ministry, I am excited to tell you about an opportunity for you to double your money. No, this is not a pyramid scheme or a shady investment. Thanks to a special blessing from God, every dollar you invest in the ministry of It Is Written this month may be literally doubled. I’ll tell you more in just a moment.
“This is beyond politics.”
We’re both well aware that this is an election year. And we’re hearing people say, “There has never been a more important election in the history of our nation.” As true as that is or is not, what is undeniable is that after holding 59 presidential elections, this country is experiencing problems no president has yet been able to solve. That’s because the true battle we find ourselves in is not political, but spiritual. The Bible tells us we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, “but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). Today’s shifting moral sands represent a seismic adjustment in our country’s values. Half of American adults say they consider themselves “broke.”1 With two out of three “living paycheck to paycheck,”2 and the country 35 trillion dollars in debt, few people are under any illusion regarding the perilous state of the economy. Millions of students are being educated in a worldview that is diametrically opposed to the Bible, trust in the media has fallen to a “historic low,”3 the internet—including AI—has propelled us into a new future, and wars rage in several parts of the world. This is beyond politics.
