DODGERS | | Fr. Stephen Hamilton is one of the most outspoken cultural critics in Oklahoma and when it comes to the posture of those who represent the American Pastime, he does not hold back his disdain.
That Major League Baseball (MLB) would promote sodomy to American children would have been thought an impossibility even ten years ago.
The thought that it would sponsor the most reprobate of society to conduct sexual displays on the cross of Christ would have been unthinkable.
Fr. Hamilton, in his measured way, will pronounce ecclesiastical fire and brimstone this Wednesday as he connects the dots between the L.A. Dodgers and the more recent nude displays on the White House lawn. _________ | | also this Wednesday ... Recovering our Culture for Christ | | Chad Christiansen has passed many impressive milestones as he is introducing Bible classes into the government schools in Oklahoma.
His biggest roadblock is finding pastors who have an interest in reaching our youth for Christ.
Hear his story as he follows Fr. Hamilton and weaves his story of hope on the horizon in our state. | | Bring your family and friends this Wednesday to the Oklahoma History Center. However, do not forget to bring your pastor and offer to buy his lunch!
The future of a nation depends upon its shepherds to guard, protect, and guide the people of God that we may perform our roles well in both family and state.
Please bring your friends, family, church leaders, and your pastors!

BOB LINN Juneteenth LAST WEEK'S MEETING U.S. Senator James Lankford Frederick Douglass Republicans
TWO WEEKS AGO Ryan Walters Angel Myers
YOU ARE INVITED ... STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION THIS MONTH! Thursday, June 22 9:00 am ODE Meeting | | Today is Juneteenth.
The sunrise on the morning of June 19, 1865 was the dawn of more than a calendar day. It was, for more than 250,000 blacks in Texas, a day when life became their own to live and its profound significance memorialized as Juneteenth. It is a celebration of America’s goodness and her Christian ideals. | | In the 1860’s, America was at war with itself.
We were a people with conflicting ideas. We were unsure as to whether the spiritual and theological foundations of our moral code trumped the more narcissistic foundations of what for many had become the convenient theory of the economic foundations supporting slavery’s normalcy.
For Lincoln, the political path was difficult and was, in the end, soaked in blood. | | For the American black, slavery began not in America, but in Africa.
Slavery was an African project.
Its demolition would be initiated by America’s whites who would work to set the black slaves free. It was the demolition of a social cancer which cost well over 600,000 lives. | | Antonin Dvorak is the Czech composer who concluded his illustrious career in America. In February of 1895, he wrote an article in Harper’s New Monthly Magazine praising the American people for all their achievements.
His point is to beg for more funding for classical music, but he ends his article with a profound statement not about the money we spend, but the blood we are willing to shed on each other’s behalf: | | When I see how much is done in every other field by public-spirited men in America--how schools, universities, libraries, museums, hospitals, and parks spring up out of the ground and are maintained by generous gifts--I can only marvel that so little has been done for music.
To bring about this result we must trust to the ever-youthful enthusiasm and patriotism of this country. When this is accomplished, and when music has been established as one of the reigning arts of the land, another wreath of fame and glory will be added to this country which earned its name, the "Land of Freedom," by unshackling her slaves at the price of her own blood.
Juneteenth commemorates the decency of the American people to put a stop to the indecent treatment of her fellow man. | | There is a bank in Shawnee, Oklahoma which has the story backwards.
The bank’s Juneteenth sign displays the communist fist and African colors.
Both are symbols of oppression and slavery.
Africa is where the oppression of the black man began.
Christian America set the black man free. | | Christian America, through the determined work of Lincoln’s Republican party, fought in the U.S. Congress to secure the civil rights of all men.
There was hope that, having eviscerated slavery, post-Civil War America was upgrading some of its moral underpinnings and no longer at war with ourselves.
Just before he was tragically killed last year by a drunk driver, Angelo Codevilla completed his last book, America’s Rise and Fall among Nations. Dr. Codevilla was a friend and a storied member of the U.S. intelligence community. | | Prior to his death last year, Codevilla came to the conclusion we were, instead of moving forward, unravelling.
In the book, he speaks of the current fall of the American cultural landscape and refers to Americans as “a people diminished morally and intellectually, and at war with itself.” | | This Wednesday, Father Hamilton’s message to the Los Angeles Dodgers will underline Codevilla’s point as he delineates the unbridgeable gap between the moral underpinnings of America’s left and right.
The world’s most eminent thought leaders have indicated the solution is a return to our Christian roots. Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn, T.S. Eliot, Victor Orbán, Marcello Pera, and even the renowned atheist, Jorgen Habermas, are in agreement on this point.
Codevilla notes as he closes his book that the American tradition “follows from George Washington’s simple observation that ‘the foundation of our national policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private morality.’ He did not need to elaborate.” |  | | Last week, Shane Jett spoke of Flag Day at OCPAC and noted the work which had been done to engender national pride in our symbol of national achievement and greatness.
In it, he spoke of the slavery of our nation’s youth and its blood-soaked commitment to unravel the chains of oppression that all those on American shores would walk free.
Read his prose, The Birth of a Nation, here. | A few thousand of you read this newsletter each week. I would challenge you to connect with us through our meetings, or by email and get involved in bolstering the Christian cultural foundations of Oklahoma that we may cast a light on our nation, the last bastion of freedom in the world. | | Christianity is the very foundation of human thought. It is the foundation of free and prosperous societies. | | We are in desperate need of returning our nation and our state to Biblical foundations.
Thank you for your activism. _________ | | This Wednesday's luncheon!
