BIBLICALLY-ALIGNED BOOKS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL. IS IT POSSIBLE?
Discussed by Brad Dacus
with Pacific Justice Institute (www.pacificjustice.org)

Brad Dacus is the President of the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI). He has appeared on numerous news programs and presently hosts the PJI’s newest TV show, “Faith and Law”, which broadcasts on networks and streaming platforms across the country.

IF MILK IS WASTED
Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program
If milk is wasted, it becomes yogurt. Yogurt is more valuable than milk. If
it gets any worse, it becomes cheese. Cheese is more valuable than yogurt and
milk.
And if grape juice turns sour, it turns into wine, which is even more expensive
than grape juice.
You're not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes are experiences that make you
more valuable as a person.
Christopher Columbus made a navigation error that led him to discover America.
Alexander Fleming's mistake led him to invent penicillin.
Don't let your mistakes depress you. It's not practice that makes perfect. It's
the mistakes we learn from that make perfect!
CONSUMERS ARE UNAWARE ALLSTATE IS TRACKING THEM!
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed suit against Allstate
Insurance Company, alleging that they acquired GPS tracking data from a number
of companies to build driving patterns. Did author George Orwell address this
type of behavior in his book “1984”?
Today, Hans von Spakovsky discusses this lawsuit and how consumers can protect
themselves from being taken advantage of in the future. Hans von Spakovsky is a
senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation.

so your family and friends are aware of the dangers!
Questions/Issues Discussed:
How are people tracked through smart phones and other electronic devices?
Hans
von Spakovsky discusses how Allstate is using OTHER APPS to acquire data on you!
What data has Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton alleged that Allstate is
collecting? Is it simply driving habits? Or does it go deeper than that?
Did Allstate also purchase data directly from car manufacturers, including
Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, and Ram?
What is Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s goal from this lawsuit? How will
consumers be compensated?
How can we protect ourselves from the spying eyes of others? Hans von Spakovsky
encourages everyone to remove third-party apps that are listed in the lawsuit
from their phone and to NOT use Allstate for their insurance needs. NOTE: The
third-party apps listed in the lawsuit can be found in Hans von Spakovsky’s
op-ed, which is linked above.

CAN I KNOW FOR SURE I’M SAVED?
Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)
Day 1
The new year is the perfect time to hit reset and refocus on what matters most. In this series, Pastor Jarrett Stephens and others will tackle six must-answer questions about faith, salvation, prayer, and purpose that every Christian needs to consider.
Evangelist D.L. Moody: “I have never met anyone anywhere who was of any good to the cause of Christ who did not have the assurance of their salvation.”
Did you know that God wants you to know that you are saved? How can we know for sure, though, that we are saved? This week, Pastor Jarrett answers those questions!

If you have questions about a sermon, please contact Champion Forest at
questions@cfbc.org
QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:
Why does God want us to be certain about our salvation? (1 John 5:11-13)
Can our faith grow if we do not have the assurance of salvation? Pastor Jarrett shares a little of his own salvation testimony.
UNDERSTAND THE GIFT OF GOD IN SALVATION
Must we do anything to be saved? Do “works” save us? (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Does anyone else “get credit” for salvation other than God? Wait --- not even Jesus?
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.
