• Scripture teaches that government exists to reward good and punish evil (Romans 13:3-4).
• Protecting the unborn and safeguarding fairness for young women reflect the biblical call to defend the vulnerable.
• Truth and integrity in elections are foundational to a just society under God.

Americans went to the polls in the 2026 midterm elections and approved several key ballot measures that advance traditional values and protect the integrity of both the vote and women’s sports. The results show voters across multiple states favoring commonsense reforms that align with faith and family principles.

Statewide referendums on voter identification passed in several battleground states, giving citizens renewed confidence that elections are secure and trustworthy. These measures require valid photo ID at the ballot box and close loopholes that have long concerned conservative voters.

“We are grateful that voters have spoken clearly in favor of election integrity,” said a spokesman for one of the successful campaigns. “This is a victory for every American who believes our republic depends on fair and honest elections.”

Ballot measures aimed at protecting girls’ sports also succeeded, ensuring that biological males will not compete in female categories. Parents and female athletes celebrated the outcomes as a defense of fairness and safety in school athletics.

“Our daughters deserve to compete on a level playing field,” said one mother of a high-school track athlete. “Today’s vote sends a strong message that biological reality matters.”

Meanwhile, proposals to expand abortion access were rejected in multiple states, marking a continued shift toward life-affirming policies. Pro-life advocates hailed the results as evidence that the American people are increasingly uncomfortable with the radical abortion agenda pushed by the political left.

“Every child deserves the chance to live,” said a pastor who helped lead local efforts against the abortion measures. “We will keep praying and working until every state protects the unborn.”

Redistricting reforms also appeared on several ballots, with voters supporting maps drawn to ensure equal representation rather than partisan advantage. These changes are expected to reduce gerrymandering and give citizens a stronger voice in choosing their representatives.

• Dallas Jenkins, creator of The Chosen, addressed backlash over a teaser showing racially diverse angels.
• Jenkins described critics of the portrayal as engaging in idolatry by fixating on physical appearance.
• The upcoming season will depict angels in the Garden of Gethsemane scene.

The creator of The Chosen, Dallas Jenkins, responded Tuesday to criticism over a teaser image featuring angels portrayed by actors of various racial backgrounds. He framed the objections as misplaced focus on physical form rather than spiritual truth.

“When we make a big deal about what angels look like, we’re doing the exact thing the Bible warns against,” Jenkins stated in his remarks. “We’re creating an image of something heavenly and then worshipping that image instead of the God who made it.”

Jenkins argued that the controversy reveals deeper issues within segments of the viewing audience. He suggested that some Christians have elevated their preconceptions about biblical imagery above scriptural teaching itself.

“The Bible doesn’t describe angels the way we often picture them,” Jenkins continued. “If we’re more concerned with matching our mental image than with the message they’re delivering, we’ve missed the point entirely.”

The director maintained that The Chosen aims to present Scripture faithfully while recognizing that artistic choices inevitably involve interpretation. He encouraged viewers to focus on the spiritual message rather than secondary details.
