Letter: No to sanctuary cities

Tulsa Beacon

In President Donald Trump’s speech, he spoke about sanctuary cities and sanctuary states, giving one example of California being such a state. When Governor Kevin Stitt campaigned for elected office he, too, spoke about them and said in effect that he was not for them. However, when recently he was prevailed upon by supposedly 69…

Letter: An American revival

Tulsa Beacon

Recently a letter to the editor was written by a citizen who is also a clergyman. It appeared in our local newspaper (Muskogee) expressing his appreciation for the man who is presently our president. The letter was gracious and bold in stating such appreciation for Mr. Trump and his leadership. There are those who would…

Letter: Chick-fil-A’s compromised Christianity

Tulsa Beacon

The third largest fast food restaurant chain in America won the respect and loyalty of millions of Christians and non-Christians alike due to their unwavering devotion to the principles of its founder Truett Cathy, who passed away in 2014.

Letter: Vaping is dangerous to health

Tulsa Beacon

Two references, one from the American Nurses Association on vaping and another newspaper article on vaping and sleep deficiency, came to me attention recently.

Letter: Book shows Trump spirituality

Tulsa Beacon

…Edward V. Harris wrote that Mr. “Trump has no Christian principles.” Apparently Mr. Harris is convinced that this true but it is necessary to challenge that belief.  Recently, I read a book, The Faith of Donald J. Trump: A Spiritual Biography – written by David Phillip Brody and Walter Scott Lamb. The book contains two…

Letter: Demand a vote on abortion ban

Tulsa Beacon

In a recent poll reported by Family Research Prayer Team, 9 percent  of Americans who identified as pro-choice a month ago switched to pro-life after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo led the Legislature as they passed the most liberal abortion law in America. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam declared his support for a bill legalizing infanticide…

Letter: Reject unAmerican idealogies

Tulsa Beacon

In the 2018 midterm elections, 90 Muslims were on the ballots across the United States and nearly all were Democrats. There are now three members of Congress who are practicing Muslims. There are a host of Muslims holding office in states and communities. Two are Muslim women – Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib…
