"One of the reasons why Christians should support Trump in this election now is that, given his waffling on the life issue, we recognize that we are therefore in the semi-finals. And in the finals, we should much rather be dealing with the results of a Trump victory than with a Harris victory. If Harris is president, we will have no chance when it comes to the next SCOTUS nominee, and no influence at all. If Trump is president, we have a really good chance to affect what happens. And I would much rather fight with Trump about it than fight with Harris about it. Some sort of acceptable deal is possible with Trump, and not with Harris."

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” (James 4:13–15 NIV)
What good is it to control 1% of all the sats…and lose your soul?
Your life is a mist, vapor, breath.
Soon you will stand before the Judge of all the world. Then what?
What are wombs for?
Ecclesiastes 7:7 — A bribe corrupts the heart.
“You can stop your heart being corrupted by going to the funeral home and listening to death’s sermon about money. Extra cash? What are you going to do with it? You could always use it to line the walls of your coffin.” —David Gibson
Ecclesiastes 7:20 (ESV): Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. (John 15:2)
"The branch has but one object for which it exists, one purpose to which it is entirely given up,to bear the fruit of the vine wishes to bring forth. And so the believer has but one reason for being a branch--but one reason for his existence on earth--that the heavenly vine may through him, bring forth his fruit." Andrew Murray
You exist to bear fruit for Christ.
You ask: "well, what if I don't want to do that? What if I reject the vine altogether?"
Answer: If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. (John 15:6)

“The universe you inhabit and the life you have today come from God’s hand as something you do not deserve. Your life is on loan for a short while, and one day God will call time and take it back, just like the library will recall that overdue book on your shelf. So embrace life for what it is rather than what you’d like it to be. Live it before God with reverence and obedience.”
— David Gibson
“When a man comes to die, no matter what his talents and influence and genius, if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him and his dying a cold horror.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden
“The Christian’s life should always be controlled and dominated by the Lord Jesus Christ, and by considerations of what will be well-pleasing in His sight.” Martyn Lloyd Jones

Sometimes, you need to take a walk outside and read the Bible. 

“we are simply part of the generation who came after the last one and before the next..” David Gibson
“If you are typically modern, your life is like a mansion with a terrifying hole right in the middle of the living-room floor. So you paper over the hole with a very busy wallpaper pattern to distract yourself. You find a rhinoceros in the middle of your house. The rhinoceros is wretchedness and death. How in the world can you hide a rhinoceros? Easy: cover it with a million mice. Multiple diversions.” Peter Kreeft
