Interview with A Christian Republican Candidate for Texas Governor

Don Huffines Charles: Don! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview. I know our readers will enjoy it. What did you do before you run for public office? Don: I am a businessman first, more specifically, a real estate developer. That is the lens I see the world in. If you see a problem coming, it is important to be proactive about it. Charles: When did you first run for office and for which office? How long did you serve? Don: The only office I ran for was the State Senate for Senate District 16 in 2014. I served for 2 sessions - 4 years. While in office, I fought against the establishment every day, trying to pass the priorities of the Republican Party. Charles: Are you a native Texan? And, where were you born? Don: I am a 5th generation Texan, born in Commerce, TX Charles: How long have you been a voting Texan? How did you and your wife meet and how long have you been married?

Don: I would like the voters to know that our greatest days are coming. They really are. Look around you. You are not alone. We are all fighting together for this selfless cause: to have fearless leaders who believe in our party platform and who want to be held accountable to you. We will never let the Democrats replace God with the government. Instead, we will rise and fight them and we will persevere. We will show the world our greatest days are yet to dawn. I’m Don Huffines. I’m an actual Republican and I’m running for Texas governor. It’s time for leadership. No Excuses.

NEW BEGINNINGS By Mickey Nichols

Did you ever wonder what happened to the disciples after the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus into His heavenly home? We know a few of their activities as written in the Book of Acts, especially the words and actions of Peter and John. We also know of the selection of Matthias to replace the betrayer Judas Iscariot and how the group hung together initially probably because they were still a little shell shocked at the home going of their Rock, their Friend, and their Savior! But in those first days and weeks after Jesus left the disciples began to disperse and go their different ways. You see, God had a bigger plan in mind than just simply the homeland of these few men and this meant that each of these sainted ones had to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit that had come to live within them. The known world at that time was comparatively small and God’s plan was for His Word to reach ALL mankind so it became necessary for these followers of Christ to begin to travel to parts unknown. Can you imagine the excitement tempered with some degree of fear that each man faced as he wandered into new lands and met different types of people? Yes, they were following God’s leading but humanly I bet they were sometimes scared stiff while entering new societies and learning new languages!

to me and congratulate me on the victory. I was elated. Daddy and I went that night to see the Washington Varsity play, with Gordon getting some playing time as a few varsity players played on both the “B’ team and on the varsity. After Gordon showered and dressed we climbed into the car with Daddy for the trip home. Gordon and I were so “high” on adrenaline that we could hardly sit still so when Daddy first started talking we hardly heard his words. As he kept telling us of our family plans to move away from Washington to Tennessee our minds could scarcely comprehend what he was saying. Move away? Leave Washington? I couldn’t believe it. I was devastated. Gordon was even more shattered than I was. When we got home our Mother had most of our belongings packed and ready to go. We left the next morning with Mother, Daddy, Gordon, and our three younger brothers in the car while I rode with two men in a moving truck with all our worldly possessions. No goodbyes, no farewells, no see you laters. We were gone.I enrolled in LaFollete, Tennessee, Jr. High School the following Monday morning. I asked the home room teacher, Mrs. Berwanger, if the school had a football team. She said they sure did, that practice was immediately after school in Liberty Park, just behind the school. I couldn’t wait! At our first break, I was shown the cold drink machine in the hall. That was something we never had down in Georgia! I walked down to the machine and saw that It was one of those kind where you lifted the lid, put the nickel in, then slid your choice to the end and lifted it out. The problem was the big, tough looking guy sitting on the lid. As I stood there in front of him he said, “So you’re the new guy.” Just matter of fact-like. I said “Yep”, not knowing if that was a greeting or if they were, in fact, fighting words! He then said, “I’m AJ.” I said, “I’m Mickey” and, little did I know then, he would become one of the 4 best friends that I have ever had. I met him later that afternoon after school at the park for football practice. I was surprised to learn that the football team had no uniforms and simply got together to run some plays that the High School Coach wanted them to learn. I looked at the end of the line at a tall, skinny, good looking guy wearing, believe it or not, blue suede shoes, named Randle who also remains another of my 4 best friends. The Lord works in mysterious ways. He knows what is best for His children and is always looking out for their best interests, even if it doesn’t seem that way at the time. We lived in Washington, Ga., for almost 5 ½ years and I thought at the time that leaving was the worst possible thing I could ever think about. I then lived in LaFollette, Tenn., for 4 ½ years and found a peace and a satisfaction that evolved during this time into a love for this town surrounded by hills and mountains. These were my formative years. My growing up years. God used these years to mold me, to begin to shape me, into the vessel that He wanted. What happened these years that caused me to change from a young, devastated 8th grader, sad to leave one location, to a High School graduate who loved his school and town and knew it was God’s plan for me? Well, the details are many and varied! And that is a story for another day. Suffice it to say, God was in control all along. He will do the same for you if you will let Him.

MYSTERY: ONE OF THE POWER WORDS OF THE GOSPEl THE HIDDEN IMPORTANCE OF YOUR MISSION

By Robert Summers

A Christian woman carrying a letter from Corinth to Rome from a man named Paul to a group of underground house church Believers would raise no flags in the enemy’s intelligence agency. Today we have Phoebe to thank for that Roman letter (see Roman’s 16:1-2). Obviously, she never knew how important that document courier mission was. Really. She could not have predicted its role in world changing. Nor its part in the later Reformation. “We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the

Your mission is more important than you know. It may appear small and inconsequential. Yet it is probably of greater importance than you can ever perceive. This will help you understand its strategic place in God’s economy. First, God‘s ways are profoundly mysterious. He conceals his moves. He shrouds his assets in secrecy. For instance,

An architectural design called a fractal conceals these important pipes. Fractal designs are also used to encrypt crucial coded information which is computer stored, usually a vital secret. Remember God is fractal by nature. He does not obligate Himself to reveal His ways, to the disinterested and unresponsive. Thus, His ways are often a mystery.

of dollars of stolen merchandise. Unscrupulous politicians As we begin a New Year, we would sincerely like to offer a positive outlook with hope and promise toward the year which lies ahead. Sadly, for the first time in as long as I can remember, the future is anything but positive. As we study Scripture, current events place us in the Books of Daniel and Revelation rather than the positive words contained in the gospels. If one were to listen closely— the galloping sound of four horses pounding the ground near the Euphrates can be heard.1 Never before, have we been so close to Armageddon and the End of the Age than we are at this present time. As a small boy reading the Bible, I often wished those days had been “Bible Days.”

Does the Bible also talk about this as a sign of the Last Days?

Dr. Aaron Rock, pastor of Harvest Bible Church in Windsor, Ontario, notes: ‘In Canada, the teachings of both basic biology and the Bible are now 'myths', according to the preamble to Bill C-4 (conversion therapy bill).’’4 This is not surprising in lieu of the fact that they jailed a pastor a few years ago for preaching on Romans 1; yet it does not stop in Canada. This antichrist spirit has been flying under the radar throughout the world and in America for decades.

Jesus also comforted us by saying, “When you see these things begin to happen to look up because your redemption draws nigh” (Luke 21:28). Yet Jesus still advised us, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of Heaven, but My Father only” (Matthew 24:36). There have been many date setters, but the problem with setting dates is that at any one moment on earth, there are 24 separate hours and two different days.

Nevertheless, we who are called by Christ are forewarned to begin praying

unceasingly for our families, our neighbors, our country and ourselves.

The good news is that I have read the back of the Book and WE WIN!

President’s Kennedy & Trump’s Message to The Press Then & Now: Media’s Bias By Katherine Daigle

The media is the fourth pillar of all democracies; the pillar that sets a check, a balance over the other three, keeping track of all the failing ill-ends that may crop up as threats to democratic proceedings. An unbiased, nonnarrativizing media is what is imagined by the populace when thoughts of a fourth pillar come into discourse. But the reality pits us against a bewildering state of media and technology giants and their corporate agenda spilling, propagandist drives that run against the norms of liberty, freedom, and unity as we know it. Things are reeking wrong in mainstream media today. Of these, the root lies deeply intertwined with the case of its unflinching biases.

CHRISTIAN TIMES MAGAZINE | PAGE 20

On April 27, 1961, President John F. Kennedy (JFK) the 35th president of the United States, delivered a speech before the representatives of the American Newspapers Publishers Association. This speech is now officially known as “The President and the Press” address. However, for those who can listen and dare to give deeper thought to everything they heard, this speech became a starting point, an omen that the president`s administration officially acknowledged the existence of forces that are ready to start an unholy crusade on the nation`s values.

The corporatization of media outlets fuels a furthered divide between the real and the falsified. Such biases often reveal their perilous nature when examined against the grave dangers that we are always navigating through, even during contemporary times. President Kennedy long back assessed the same: “But I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to re-examine his standards, and to recognize the nature of our country’s peril.” He adds, “Our way of life is under attack. "Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe." The survival of our friends is in danger, and yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired. If the press is awaiting a declaration of war, before it imposes the self-discipline of combat conditions, then I can only say that no war ever posed the greatest threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of the clear and present danger, then I can only say that the danger has never been clearer, and its presence has never been more imminent.” The danger never has to be spelled out as a conflict or a battleground readied for war. Cordiality between the political arm and the press should appear whenever there is a knell sounded for crises like that for freedom, liberty, healthcare, and other fundamentals for life.

The message, also known as the “Kennedy`s Secret Societies Speech,” predicted the new World War that has lasted over the years, making the media its major striking force. Looking back over the years television, newspapers, and the dawn of modern computers, the rapid digitization, and growth in information technology have been around for an exceptionally long time. Even before the first printing press - governments, initiative groups, and certain societies were doing their best to shape the public`s opinion using the power of the word. If it seems to you that today you are surrounded by messages, claims, blog posts, and newsletters, imagine what it was like back in the day to be exposed to endless propaganda without the possibility to do your research, find discernable answers from independent sources or connect with like-minded people just to discern and recognize that you are not alone, and your awakening is not foolishness. Today it is clear that JFK understood the power of media and the threat that this power can represent to the nation and its values. The media was originally meant to question the status quo, debunk all the myths that are spread through authoritative mouthpieces. On the ground, it has shown itself off as a perpetrator of such status quo. Disinformation and poison spewing outlets make the matter of organized political activism a challenge.

In his speech, JFK had determined the two “requirements of direct concern both to the press and to the president” – the greater public information and the greater official secrecy. Those are the two most manipulated concepts. There is a difference between public information and ruthless propaganda. There is a difference between official clandestine secrecy and the development of cannibal secret societies aimed to extol their leaders for the account of the people's freedoms and human rights. President Kennedy recognized a need for structural change (both in tactics and by people) that could necessitate such collaboration in troubling times. The symbiotic bond that media shares with certain vested interests must cease. The times are such that the fourth pillar itself needs to be brought under a surveillance system that can ensure its efficiency in terms of reporting style and accuracy of claims. It is the people’s physical safety itself that gets thrown under the dagger when the all-seeing eye of the media gets a hued posture instead. While free, independent media is the aim of this millennium, the deeply corporatized, biased media is what we get. In 1961, JFK was warning the nation and its leaders against falling victims to a global predator, an enemy that we could not imagine before. The enemy that has today infiltrated our homes, schools, churches, and hospitals.

CHRISTIAN TIMES MAGAZINE | PAGE 21

Could JFK have predicted that this revolt against the shaping globalist predator will cost him his life only 2 years later? One could only speculate. What he did know is that one day the media will play a key role in Americans` loss of their freedoms using the fear that involves a planned campaign by the MSM use of propaganda and other psychological operations to influence the opinions, emotions, attitudes, and behavior against the people. That people will be deprived of choice about such basic things as their health and security and intimidated into blind obedience. That the free democratic elections, one of the institutes and values that shaped Americans as a nation and gained that nation its glory and prosperity, will be turned into a scripted lie, a cheap reality show downgraded to invented rated and manipulated statistics. “We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its fear of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice… (it is) highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations.” Looking back to 2021, President Donald J. Trump early in his presidency warned that the nation’s news media “is the enemy of the American people.” Almost 60 years later, our 45th president of the United States refused to be another bit player, manipulated by the transformed, modernized, and yet even more cannibalistic globalism by feeding on the flesh of his species. Standing up against the mutated media and drawing our attention to the true face and hidden danger of the manipulative propaganda, he managed to stir the hornets` nest and cause the greatest awakening among the country.

As we begin the new year, you must ask yourself are we at the tipping point in America? Is the world feeling the pain of complete manipulation by their media and their governments? President Trump's forthcoming digital media platform have entered into agreements to raise an estimated $1 billion from investors for his new social media website, TRUTH Social. He will be “in a strong position to fight back against the tyranny of Big Tech." America is ready for a media outlet that informs and provides uncensored vital information to the public without bias. A platform that will not discriminate based on political ideology, race, equity, or religion. A free and open platform to exchange ideas, communicate with friends and family, share real news without a filter.

“Sometimes by losing a battle, you find a new way to win the war,” - said Donald Trump, The first President who dared to take any action against the media threat.

” I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens, whenever they are fully informed,” – said JFK The President who believed in the nation and wanted to warn people about the upcoming threat. Both were betrayed. But one can continue his fight against the Hydra, and our support will be his “way to win the war.” The media plays a significant role in voter turnout and decisions by the voters. The propaganda that it sends out, depending on who backs them, can tilt the voters’ choice, and distort what is real. There will be unwanted cacophony in the play. There will be unnecessary skewed statistics numbered out for the viewer. The reality is never, never on display, it stays hidden "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain". The distance from today’s bias to neutrality is humongous. But the cursor should be moved further towards the middle. It is only then that we, as a united global populace, can make an informed decision about all the post-truths that have been jutted out into existence. Big Tech' companies and government regimes have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices to their lies and misinformation far too long. It is time we ask why? What is the media hiding and who is paying them to lie to the American people? What do they fear? America is not listening to them anymore. “We the People,” the preamble emphasizes that the nation is to be ruled by the people— not a king or a dictator, not the president, Supreme Court justices, members of Congress or state legislators and definitely NOT the media!

A Time for Choosing?! By Chris Grahn Howard To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, we are at a time for choosing. We can choose to maintain the status quo, what is left of it, and hope for the best, or we can choose to set a bold new course that places a proud standard for the people to follow. Now, the time is to pull the fractured Conservative and Traditional Republican factions together and find the way clear to work for some common goals.

state senate races. Not to mention the obvious effects these boards have n your daily life. The actions of these local boards have limited your local businesses, your movements and reduced the learning in your schools. Our children have been greatly affected by these actions. Our economy has been severely limited; businesses may never truly recover from these draconian actions. In the end, activities did nothing to stop the spread of this virus. Take the time to know who your candidates are for these offices. Support them however you can. You may not be able or even willing to do door-to-door walking, but you may be willing to donate, make phone calls, social media support, and other methods of helping. You get the government you deserve, and you deserve a better government than you currently receive. However, you must be willing to make an effort to support those who have taken the risk and out their good name on a ballot. Trust me that putting your name on a ballot is risky at any time. Now more than ever. The enemy will attack you; truth in the attack has nothing to do with it. Conservative candidates will be attacked at work to get them fired; they will be attacked in any social club or children’s activity. This is an all-out effort to intimidate them or punish them for pushing back against the “machine” of democracy (mob rule).

The famous Ronald Reagan speech may be more authentic now than ever before. While I am confident, you have heard the now old phrase “this is the most important election ever” quote. We have reached an era where every election is such; the most critical election in your lifetime. Every election from now on will have immediate and real consequences. I have talked about many ideas, philosophies, and strategies in previous articles. Now is the time for action! You must go out and vote. There are now no inconsequential elections. Starting with school board and municipal elections. These local elections are the bench for future state representatives and

Remember this – These United States are a Constitutional Representative Republic that uses the democratic method to elect representation. We are NOT a democracy, which is nothing more than glorified mob rule. This is a significant distinction that is often missed or glossed over. Understanding the difference is crucial. John Adams’ words below are almost prophetic. Democracy has frequently been described as a beautiful sailboat with massive sails and no rudder. Being a republic provides the stability of a rudder; what we are seeing played out before us is devolving into the mob rule of a pure democracy. Are we still the Republic, our founders gave us? Yes, but I fear we are transitioning into a true democracy; mob rule, a rudderless ship careening around the ocean. In such an environment, the rights of the minority, no matter the issue, cannot be protected. If you want to know what makes America great? Our built-in processes to understand that the rights of the minority on any issue need to be protected.

CHRISTIAN TIMES MAGAZINE | PAGE 22

“Democracy, will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes, and no man’s life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure and every one of these will soon mold itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues, and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit, and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few.” John Adams

Be a part of the rudder. Participating in elections is the only way to join that rudder. That crucial rudder is what will keep all of us from careening around the ocean, hitting iceberg after iceberg. Your government, let that sink in; YOUR GOVERNMENT needs and requires and will only survive on your direct and intentional participation. Helping candidates, voting, and holding those elected accountable is the only way to be a part of the great rudder. Our policies, laws, and government can not be allowed to shift on fads or the whims of even a majority. The reason for checks and balances and the slow pace of government is to slow the impacts of trends, impulses, and sudden significant shifts. These checks and balances are not by accident but by design and structure. Constantly we hear about the need to change elements of our governmental system. These efforts are designed to strip away the breaks, not allow the measured time for evaluation. Elect people of character who understand this very concept. Yes, there are occasions for government to move swiftly. Those are, should be, the exceptions and not a new rule. Understanding the government’s proper role, nature, and structure needs to be a requirement for those who wish to serve in that government. Too often, this is not the case. “We the people…” are the fourth branch of this government. The fourth branch is what holds the others accountable. Be the accountability partner of your government at all levels. Not just in terms of voting but to be a voice in your community for the Republic. Now more than ever, your Republic needs you. Please tell me what you want to do. I have something for you to do - make phone calls. I have something for you to do - write letters. I have something for you to do - Tweet or email. I have something for you to do – blog. I have something for you to do - walk your neighborhood and get to know who is of like mind. I have something for you to do. Yes, I know you have real jobs, soccer practice, ballet rehearsal, and spending time with family. I have those busy things to do as well. The opponents know this, and they have them as well; they want conservatives lost in the minutia of life so they can dismantle the very freedoms that allow you to do and enjoy those things that make life great. Liberals are running a giant shell game in the history of the world. Biden/Harris will fiddle as Rome burns! I want my Country back, and I need your help!
