Just in time for the biggest and most watched sporting event of the year, the National
Football League has acquiesced to the demands of the political Far left and agreed to allow
what has come to be known as the "Black National Anthem" to be sung again at this
year's Super Bowl game. It was first sung before the Super Bowl game in 2023.
The "Black National Anthem" also known as "Lift Every Voice And Sing" was
written originally as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900.
According to a recent article by columnist and radio talk show host Dennis Prager, the "Black National Anthem" will be sung directly after the performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" America's National Anthem, with the hope that the spectators who will rise during the first performance will remain standing for the second in order to show their support for Black Lives Matter and other activist groups, to combat what the NFL calls "systemic racism" and the "ongoing and historical injustice" against black Americans.
"The Left, led by Barack Obama, Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, the media, the schools and the universities have done their damage," says Dennis Prager. There is a black America and the rest of America. So, now we play two national anthems."
Score a touchdown for the ongoing advancement of Communism in America.
'E Pluribus Unum' ("Out of many, One") Are we no more?
The inclusion of a "Black National Anthem" is a cruel slap in the face to the memory of the three black American soldiers who recently lost their lives in a terrorist attack in Jordan. To the memory of black American soldiers who, along with their fellow Americans, stormed the beaches and scaled the cliffs along the coast of France on June 6, 1944 in order to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany. To black American men who honorably served this nation in Korea, in Vietnam, in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The courage and sacrifice of these black Americans, many who fought and died on foreign battlefields so that Americans today can attend Super Bowls, and all Americans service men and women, past and present, regardless of race or skin color, should never be forgotten, nor besmirched through the politics of divisiveness and hate. All lives matter in America.

"And I am convinced and sure of this very thing: that He Who began a good work
in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ, right up until the time of His return,
developing that good work and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you."
(Philippians 1:6)
The fourth of the apostle Paul's Prison Letters, which he wrote while
incarcerated in Rome, having received a gift from the assembly of
believers in Philippi, he wrote a letter of thanks to them for their
thoughtfulness and concern.
Because of their extraordinary kindness and generosity, the assembly
at Philippi held a special place in Paul's heart, especially in their selfless
giving when he had collected funds from them for the church in Jerusalem.
Now they had remembered him in his lonely prison cell.
Paul further wrote to encourage the Philippians to stand firmly
together in the face of increasing persecution, and shunning
pride and arrogance, to embrace humility in their walk of faith.

Can you prove without any reasonable doubt that God exists,
that the Bible is God's Word, and that Jesus Christ
is the only Savior of sinners?
In this classic presentation Dave Hunt (1926-2013) Christian apologist,
author, and the founder of The Berean Call Ministries answers many
questions asked about the Word of God, and how it not only can be
trusted as the Truth, but he also refutes many of the so-called
contradictions and errors in the Bible that people like to point out.
