<p><strong>Hurricane Harvey made landfall</strong> on the city of Rockport, TX, on Friday as a category 4 storm. It lost strength and became a category 1 storm on Saturday, stalling out over Houston. On Sunday, Texans were battling the affects of severe flooding. Several people have died and thousands needed rescuing. The storm has affected about a fourth of Texas&#8217; 6.8 million people.</p>
<blockquote><p>Pray that the Lord would turn off the rain, and help emergency response teams work effectively. Pray for safety and restoration for the area.</p></blockquote>

<p><strong>North Korea fired three missiles on Saturday</strong>, one of which blew up almost immediately, while the other two flew about 155 miles before falling into the sea. Kim Jong-un, North Korea&#8217;s dictator, is probably retaliating for military exercises being conducted by the U.S. and South Korea.</p>
<blockquote><p>Thank God for His protection! Pray for the believers in North Korea, that God would flee the slaves and prosper the gospel.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>President Trump pardoned Sheriff Joe Arpaio</strong> on Friday and raised a storm of protest. Arpaio, 85, faced up to six months in prison for contempt of court and was due to be sentenced in October. He is an ardent supporter of the President&#8217;s and is famous for taking a hardline against illegal immigrants during his 20 years as sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona.</p>

<p><strong>On Tuesday, D. James Kennedy Ministries (DJKM) filed a defamation</strong> lawsuit against several organizations, including the liberal Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Amazon. The charges included defamation, religious discrimination, and trafficking in falsehood.</p>
<p>The SPLC has named DJKM a &#8220;hate group&#8221; and Amazon kept the ministry off of its charity donation program.</p>
<p>&#8220;We embarked today on a journey to right a terrible wrong,&#8221; Dr. Frank Wright, president and CEO at DJKM, said in a statement Tuesday. &#8220;Those who knowingly label Christian ministries as &#8216;hate&#8217; groups, solely for subscribing to the historic Christian faith, are either woefully uninformed or willfully deceitful. In the case of the Southern Poverty Law Center, our lawsuit alleges the latter.&#8221;</p>
<p>DJKM stands against same-sex marriage and transgenderism and has been called an &#8220;anti-LGBT hate group&#8221; by SPLC. In their vision statement, DJKM states they seek to communicate &#8220;the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the supremacy of His Lordship, and a biblically informed view of the world.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Why this Matters</span>: This is typical for the SPLC, who has also labeled James Dobson&#8217;s Family Reseach Council a hate group, as well as other traditional Christian organizations. The SPLC is considered an authority on matters of civil rights by the establishment, Democrats, and the media.</em></p>
<blockquote><p>Pray for the evils of SPLC to be exposed, and the DJKM will be successful in this lawsuit.</p></blockquote>
