We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed… _________________________________________________
Christmas comes next week, and as a Christian holiday, the Coalition for a Principled Republic dedicates today’s CPR Lifeline Advisory to the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ. Our next edition would normally come out next week because we post every other week, but we post our newsletters at least twice in a month. So, this is our final edition of the year. We close the year with our memories of this year's battles for free speech, freedom of assembly, as well as battles over the right to worship God according to our beliefs and freedom of conscience. These, as well as the other freedoms Americans have fought to preserve over the time of our nation’s existence, are under attack in such a time as this.
In fact, if one can understand the clear and present danger to the Republic, the deeper danger is to the entire civilization based upon Judeo-Christian ideals and values. Many citizens witness the decline evident in the United States, and it does not take a brain surgeon to figure out that there is something extremely disturbing going on in America today. The framework of a society that has been established upon the principles of our rights coming from God is under attack. We are in an internal, or spiritual war, but because those principles seem to be of less importance today, many American citizens may have no clue. And, because the core of the Judeo-Christian heritage has been diluted in this day, many Christian citizens have only the name of being alive.
Thus, our Bill of Rights are under attack, and the foundation for the Bill of Rights is under attack, our God-given rights proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence. And, for those able to see, all the freedoms, won through the sacrifice and blood of our ancestors are endangered. And for those willing to accept it, there are those in positions of government authority and political power who are intent on reversing or eradicating our rights and brainwashing the people into believing that our rights originate from the benevolence of the government. These people’s actions show little regard for, let alone respect for, the rights of “We the People.”
The Coalition for a Principled Republic exists to help re-align “We the People” with self-evident truths as they are rooted in the Judeo-Chrsitian values and ideals of our founding documents. We take pains to reveal the self-evident truths and to help truth prevail. We are now determined to work even harder in 2024 for the sake of promoting those values and ideals as a way of life and a way of exercising our freedom of expression.
As Christians get closer to the Christmas holiday and all the season’s festivities, we hope that despite the distractions or diversions, seeking the truth would not become an afterthought or a footnote. We will continue to empower those who have been awakened to take action to retain our Republic. Today we are offering messages of seasonal greetings from some of the groups or organizations that are part of the coalition, or that are in alignment as allies of the CPR. Our first featured message is from Apostle Tim Taylor of Kingdom League International. The second message is from the volunteers at the Election Integrity Project of California. The final message is from the folks at Safe Kids Now. Please share today’s CPR Lifeline Advisory with those who may need a bit of enlightenment or hope. And, in light of our aggregates today, please receive what you’re able to receive and please take to heart what they may receive through this edition.
We hope readers would find value in our newsletters; our efforts may serve a greater purpose, and we always hope that they are worthy of the investment of time and energy for all involved, our various volunteers who make this possible as well as our valued readers. Moving into the end of 2024, our efforts will continue to be conscious of the data we are using per the Google delivery rules. Switch to our Substack platform to avoid future headaches:
“We Look for Presents, While God Looks for Presence in this Season”
By Apostle Tim Taylor 12/19/23
We look for presents while God looks for presence in this season. That is why He sent Jesus to pay a debt He did not owe for a people who could not pay. Think about it. Christmas is about celebrating our heavenly Father sending His only Son. He is the reason for this season. It was His gift to mankind. Why? It was to pay a debt He did not owe to a people who had no ability to pay their debt because of its magnitude.
That debt was sin. Sin is what separates mankind from God’s presence. Remember this, He made a way for us to come into His presence…. forever. But we don’t have to wait for eternity to enjoy His presence. Remember with gratitude:
John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Colossians 2:11-15 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
God Longs For Us to be Present in His Presence!
What does it cost us? Time. He just wants us to spend some time with Him, in His word and speaking with Him and listening to Him in prayer.
I am reminded of Matthew 25 which teaches us the parable about the five foolish and five wise virgins. I think the five foolish virgins would only spend time with our LORD during Christmas or Easter. The five wise, take advantage of going into God’s presence every day.
The beauty is, that we cannot outgive our Heavenly Father. While we spend time in His presence, the scripture reveals He is always giving us so much more.
Psalm 21:9 – For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence.
Psalms 9:3 – When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
Psalms 16:11 11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalms 17:2 – Let my vindication come from Your presence…
Psalms 68:8-9 – The earth shook; The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;
Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. 9 You, O God, sent a plentiful rain, Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance…
Psalms 97:5 – The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
So you see as we give our presence to Him, He gives us joy, peace, gladness, vindication, inheritance and every mountain we face, melts in His presence.
The key to having God’s presence in your life, is you choosing to spend your presence in His. All you have to do is to show up and be present in His presence. Then you will find:
Psalms 46:11 – God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
Brenda and I pray that you and yours would have a very Merry Christmas and that your New Year would be blessed.
Apostle Tim Taylor is the Founder, and overseer of Kingdom League International & the 1Church1Day strategy. He continues to stand as a mighty force for God’s Kingdom. Tim Taylor’s main message is aligned with the mission God gave to him in the development of an ARC (Apostolic Resource Centers) and not just one “ark,” but an entire fleet of ARCs. We are grateful that we are able to share his messages on a somewhat regular basis with his blessing. His blog site: https://www.1church1day.org/blog
The Gift of Hope
By Gabriel Cruz
Blessings come in many forms
A light in the midst of storms
A glimmer of hope, in the darkest night
A source of strength,
to carry us to new heights.
Blessings inspire us to believe
That even in the darkest of days
we can achieve
That there’s always a silver lining
And that our spirits can always be shining.
For blessings bring us hope
A ray of light that helps us cope
With the challenges that life can bring
And the trials that make our hearts sing.
For blessings give us the gift of hope
A source of strength that helps us cope
With the ups and downs of life
And the challenges that cause us strife.
So let us cherish the blessings we receive
And hold onto hope without a need to grieve
For they are the light that guides us through
And the gift that helps us start anew.
To all of you from all of us at Election Integrity Project®California
A Christmas Message of HOPE!
By Stephanie Mann - 12/8/23
When young people grow up without a foundation of love, support, and respect, they may not understand the difference between good, bad, and evil. However, we see more crime! How many young people are looting, rioting in the streets, lashing out at strangers, and destroying property? When anger turns into violence, American freedom is on a destructive path.
The traditional structures of parental attention, extended family members, involved neighbors, and a safe school environment have eroded. A Godless society is emerging as we watch young people without a moral compass, creating havoc, destruction, and killing innocent people. Many of today’s youth are growing up with abuse and neglect, which contributes to the epidemic of loneliness and mental health problems.
The news media never discusses how anger and violence can become the downfall of a free society. A godless nation will fail if we don’t speak up about the power of the human spirit. Many adults are failing children because they don’t have any spiritual understanding of their inner power. We assumed that young people would learn healthy values by living in a free society. However, many young people today are angry and become followers to demonstrate their rage at society. They don’t have a spiritual understanding of self or God’s power to heal.
So…How can we help young people discover a loving God this Christmas with a desire to learn about their inner power?
Spiritually centered men founded America on the values of liberty, unity, diversity, individualism, equality, and self-government. Diversity teaches us to embrace one another despite our differences. Each person is unique and essential regardless of their culture.
Spiritually centered adults need to set the example of love. America was built on the power of “We the People.” We must talk to children about the power within every human being to heal themselves. We are all spiritual beings with hidden talents and a self-protective conscience that can protect or convict us if we engage in destructive behavior. Drug abuse and suicide are at an all-time high as young people try to escape from themselves.
To save America, our 360,000 churches and 4,000 synagogues can reach beyond religious walls and demonstrate “Love thy Neighbor” and “In God We Trust.” Not to proselytize but to offer support and help bring neighbors together. If the religious community serves the needs of the people, citizens will support churches and synagogues.
There is hope for the future! America needs people who care to demonstrate God’s love. Anyone who cares can reach out and bring neighbors together. The Christmas spirit is about showing God’s love for families, neighbors, and their communities. Politicians can’t save us. It will be God’s people who save America!
