FYI

Remember that Doug Brannon and Mike Anthony were the authors of Bill H3478 – http://www.hslda.org/elert/archive/2013/02/20130207114745.asp. They are the ones who wanted to do away with the third option in South Carolina’s homeschooling law that caused a huge uproar earlier this year. I am sure that neither of these two candidates are on my list for the next SC Education Chief.

Doug Brannon stated, “The best way to improve education in South Carolina is not by tearing the system that we have down, but by supporting teachers and educators to do what they’re trained to do and to properly fund education.”

I think this clearly shows that he does not have the best interest of the children in mind, but in protecting a bureaucracy that needs to change. Whether you are a homeschooler or not, it should be plain that the establishment has become too cumbersome to work effectively. We need a radical overhaul.

Info regarding “Bathroom Bill” from Point of View

From Sue Cerrillo –

Call to Action from Kerby Anderson, Host – Point of View Radio Talk Show

There is a new law pending in California that you need to know about.  Some have referred to it as the “School Bathroom Bill.”  This bill would allow a child who was born a boy, but thinks he should be a girl, to use the bathroom, locker room, and play on the team of his gender choice.

I know you’re probably thinking this is ridiculous and could never actually pass and become law.  It is ridiculous, but it has already passed both houses of the California state legislature and is on the governor’s desk waiting to be signed into law. You should also know that a very similar law has already been enacted in Massachusetts.

So why should you care about something that’s happening in California and Massachusetts when you live in South Carolina? Because the homosexual lobby is very powerful and will use these laws as a model. They will hop one by one through the most liberal states in our union and then leverage their success to try to pass this at the federal level.

Now that the law has been enacted in the Massachusetts schools, you should also know that the homosexual lobby is working on a bill that will expand the law to include every public restroom facility in the state.  If passed, a man showing up in drag at a church in that state would be allowed to use the women’s restroom.  As the bill is now written, anyone who tried to prevent him from using the women’s restroom, or even complaining about it, could be fined and sentenced to a year in jail!

This is where our nation is heading unless we do something to stop it.  Please take a moment to call Governor Jerry Brown’s office at (916) 445-2841 and urge him to veto this bill.  You can also use our online Take Action Central to send an email to the governor.

Let me also encourage you to contact all of your likeminded friends and family and ask them to contact the governor’s office as well.  Please act quickly before the governor signs this bill.

Sincerely in Christ,

Kerby Anderson, Host

September 6-7 -Mothering from the Heart Bible Study Marathon

From Audrey Broggi –

Coming September 6-7!

Mothering from the Heart Bible Study at CBC Beaufort Campus.

This study is my life message – it is my heart. I really, really believe as women get hold of these truths, our perspective changes and we see our homes, our husbands, and our children from God’s viewpoint. Single women come away with a renewed perspective – young women, older women – doesn’t matter life stage or spiritual maturity.

This is so foundational. And seriously, I believe the enemy wants to keep women blind and always learning but never coming to a knowledge of the truth.

Limited childcare will be available with advanced registration with the church office – 843-525-0089.
