Laws of the HarvestThis series of 15 broadcasts reveals the blessings of sowing and reaping found in Galatians 6:7-9. These absolute laws influence my life every day, maybe every hour.

Highlighted by tariff news, here's a sample of what Jim presented on this week's 'Round-Up' broadcast: --The Trump administration has deported over 100,000 illegal migrants since taking office and has arrested more than 110,000. --Radical left activist federal district judges have continued to issue a seemingly endless list of injunctions against President Trump's executive orders. By what authority do they have to do this? This was discussed in a hearing by Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy and Assistant Attorney General nominee Brett Shumate. Jim provided audio of the exchange. --Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley has introduced a bill that seeks to clarify the role of the Judicial branch and limit federal court orders by ending universal injunctions. --Representative Jim Jordan, Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, told Newsmax on Tuesday that he believes Congress has the will to use its constitutional power to prevent what he considers judicial overreach used at the district court level to usurp President Trump's authority. --After months of anticipation, President Trump rolled out his plans to implement historic tariffs on Wednesday, transforming the nation's trade policy with the stroke of his pen. --President Trump's sweeping tariffs on dozens of foreign trading partners has unleashed a rapid response abroad with European leaders urging negotiations and pondering retaliatory measures. --U.S. companies had 2.4 trillion of valuation wiped out yesterday after Trump's tariffs. Virtually every sector suffered big losses.

The cease-fire is now over in the Middle East and some hostages have been released. Jim indicated that the latest report shows there are about 59 hostages held by Hamas of which there's quite a bit of variance as to how many may still be alive. Israel is entering Gaza again and there are uprisings by the people there against Hamas. In response, Dr. Hartman reminded listeners that the Israeli government engaged in a hostages for prisoners trade but the ground war has begun again so people recognize that probably the only real way to get the estimated 24 hostages back that are still allegedly alive is through military action. Has Hamas been strengthened by the release of these prisoners? Dr. Hartman indicated they are but at the same time they are losing ground. Israel has taken back roughly 20% of Gaza and with the new initiatives they expect to be over 30%. What's also interesting are the anti-Hamas protests. Dr. Hartman is taking a "wait and see" attitude as he noted how at least some of the people protesting were also, not long ago, calling for the torture and death of Israeli's.

This edition of Crosstalk began with Jim reminding listeners in Florida, and particularly in Wisconsin, about today's election. In Wisconsin the key race is between Republican Brad Schimel and Democrat Susan Crawford. Jim described this election (which has had over 100 million dollars poured into it) as really being about life vs. abortion, male and female vs. gender fluidity, religious liberty vs. religious bondage and the rule of law vs. judicial activism. As Jim explained, even congressional boundaries are at stake as well. Audio from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries highlights this segment of the program. The remainder of the program addressed some of the violence going on in American society today in order to make you "understanding of the times" (1 Chronicles 12:32). Matthew 24:37 tells us what life was like in the days of Noah and that this environment would repeat itself at the time of the coming of the Son of Man. Is it possible his coming is not far off? You decide as Jim gives you a brief glimpse of the violence through numerous stories like the ones below: Violence in the womb--Since the Supreme Court's abortion decision in 1973, there's been just over 66.6 million babies killed in the U.S. via abortion. An American teenage girl was taken into custody by Paris police after her newborn baby was thrown from the window of a hotel on the outskirts of the city. The baby died of severe injuries. A Kentucky museum says a Planned Parenthood staffer inadvertently provided sexually explicit coloring books to kids as young as 8 years old at an event earlier this month. Lawmakers in Maryland advanced a bill (HB-380—the "Condoms for Kiddies" bill).

Dr. Shelton talks about his friend Lehman Strauss, and his book Bedtime Blessings. There are many things we cannot be certain, but there are many things we can be certain of! A promise for the Christian - we can know! 2 Timothy 1:12, Psalm 59:9 All things. Not some things, or most things. Romans 8:26 - Be comforted - the Holy Spirit is praying for you!

Here's a quick look at some of the stories that were covered by Dalton on this week's edition of the "Round-Up": --Earlier today a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Thailand and neighboring Myanmar. --In a stark warning to lawmakers, General Anthony J. Cotton, Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Strategic Forces and revealed that Iran has significantly advanced their nuclear capabilities. --President Trump's recent letter to Iran's supreme leader included a 2-month deadline for reaching a new nuclear deal. --The U.S. has extended the U.S.S. Harry S. Truman's Red Sea deployment, dispatching another carrier to the Middle East and deploying five B-2 stealth bombers to Diego Garcia, signaling that military strikes on Iran may be imminent as Trump's ultimatum to Iran over its nuclear program is looming. --Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps revealed one of its underground "missile cities" to Iranian media outlets Wednesday, as tensions with the West boiled over its nuclear program. --The Justice Department announced on Thursday that it has disrupted a scheme to finance Hamas. --Anti-Hamas protests are breaking out across Gaza. --The Palestinian Authority made another round of pay-for-slay payments to the families of terrorists on Tuesday. --President Donald Trump's administration has given an ultimatum to Egypt, warning that the nation faces losing billions of dollars in U.S. aid if the government refuses to take in refugees from Gaza. --U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth condemned the Atlantic editor for leaking attacks against the Houthis.

Steve McConkey is president of 4 WINDS USA, a nationwide sports ministry, with emphasis on track and field. Since 1981 he's worked through 11 Olympic cycles. He shares the gospel, encourages Christians, stands up for Olympic athletes and gives training advice. He was a USA National Track & Field Club Coach from 1982-1992. March 31st marks "Transgender Day of Visibility." Each year the LGBTQ community sets that day aside to honor the achievements of so-called trans and non-binary individuals. The problem is that what transgenders are supposedly "achieving" appears to be causing more harm than good. This broadcast takes a look at the negative impact that transgenders are having upon women in sports, depriving them of records, medals, scholarships, and even their physical well being. One notable example is that of Payton McNabb, a now former women's volleyball player. When she was 17 she was severely injured during a game by a boy identifying as a transgender girl. This transgender girl spiked the ball (traveling at an estimated 65 M.P.H.) at Payton's face. She was knocked unconscious, diagnosed with a brain bleed, a concussion and permanent whiplash. Jim played a portion of an interview with Payton obtained by the Independent Women's Forum. Is this a spiritual battle and not just a political one? After all, when it comes to this issue, the woke "left" just doesn't seem to care about women. Where does the International Olympic Committee stand on this issue? Is our nation applauding mental illness with its current stand? These are questions you'll get answered when you review this edition of Crosstalk.
