-----LIFE LESSON----- Imagine that you are doing something that you want to be doing but is unnecessary or can wait. You notice that there are other people around you that are working on something else. When you notice, the thought occurs to you that these other people might want your help. This is not a random thought. It is your conscience trying to tell you that you should offer to help (in a sincere way, not just going through the motions). This is something that some people never learn. It is part of growing up and becoming a desired part of the community/family. I hope this helps someone. #LifeLesson #GrowingUp #Adulting #Family #Community #Conscience

BELIEVING LIES There are two big lies that Christians tend to believe that change how we act in a negative way: 1) Our past and present failings, inadequacy, and fallen nature make us unworthy to speak to people about Christ. 2) Even though works do not grant you entry into Heaven, you can enter into Heaven without works. We have all heard people say that "The Church is full of hypocrites" or, "If so and so is a Christian then why does he behave that way?" Christians hear this and think that because they themselves are not perfect they are not fit to share the Gospel with their friends and family. We tend to think we will turn people away instead of draw them in to the faith. And, after all, that is the pastor's job. But what did Jesus say? "Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?” But when Jesus heard this, He said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick." Matthew 9:10-12 We are all sick. None of us is worthy. It is only by the grace of God and Jesus sacrifice that we enter His presence. And He tells us: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you...” Matthew 28:19-20 He does not say only preachers and dedicated people of the cloth should do this. This command is directed at ALL Christians. And if there is any doubt that we are all qualified, The Apostle Peter says this about ALL Christians: "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9 It also says in Hebrews: “Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let’s hold firmly to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16 We are called to tell everyone about Jesus. There is no intermediary between us and Him. There is no priest to do this job for us. We are the priests, every one of us! It does not matter how much or how little you know. It does not matter what you have or have not done. Whether you are a preacher, a construction worker, a politician, a convict, a child, a grandparent, or any other kind of person, you are commanded to preach the good news to the world. There are very few things that Jesus specifically called all of us to do and this is one of the most important. It was the last thing He said before he returned to Heaven to prepare a place for us. We are not called to save sinners. That is the job of God alone. We are told to proclaim his message. It is the work of the Holy Spirit that convicts and brings to repentance. We are just the messengers. The Apostle Paul wrote "I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. 7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own [a]reward according to his own labor." 1 Corinthians 3:6-8 Jesus made a promise along with this command. He said: "...and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20 We can not earn our way into Heaven. Nothing say or do will gain us entry. Only perfection would do this but none of us is perfect "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” If this is true, then how does one gain entry into Heaven? “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 “That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 “For ‘whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” Romans 10:13 Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 So there it is 1) Recognize your guilt 2) Pray to Jesus to get forgiveness for your guilt. 3) Commit to change your ways and live by God's laws. The first act of obedience should always be baptism if possible. Pretty simple and straight forward right? Except that it is not that easy. While it is true that works do not get you into heaven, it is also true that if you are true to your faith, there will be works. Works are not a precondition to salvation, but rather a byproduct thereof. If you truly are saved, then your actions will reflect that change. You won't just sit on the couch and bask in your good fortune while others keep moving towards eternal damnation. It would be like watching as your neighbor's house burns down with them inside, knowing you can do something to help, and doing nothing. You CAN NOT live a life of Faith without works. "For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead." James 2:26 Jesus said "So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter." Matthew 7:17-21 There are many who think they are saved but are deceived. #Bible #Christian #Christ #Jesus #God #HolySpirit #Works #Grace #SolaGratia #Fruits #Evangelism #GoodNews #Peter #Paul #Romans #RomansRoad

Armed citizens stop active shooters 36% of the time when all incidents are tallied correctly. The number climbs to 64% when you exclude gun-free zones. This is much higher than the 3.7% that the FBI has admitted to for years. They are liars pushing an anti-gun agenda. Don't believe their propaganda.

The only thing that holds society together is a desire for peace; a desire for the harshest parts of human nature to not be in display for our friends and family to see. There is a cultural momentum present in every country. You can see it at work around the world. In areas that have known long periods of "peace" the local population has a tendency away from violent resistance to authority. The opposite is also true. In areas where the population has first hand experience of war and other armed struggle, there is little reason for the population to acquiesce to the demands of "authority". We in The West have known a long period of peace at home. Lately this has been changing. Like a pot of water sitting on a fire with the water slowly heating up, we are approaching a point of change. Like water boiling over the edge of the pot, violence is only moments away from becoming a reality. Our societal momentum is not towards peace anymore. It hasn't been for a while, but it is becoming obvious even to the unobservant now. If we want peace to prevail, things must change. We must move to back down from the brink. This cold war between the left and the right is close to going hot. There is the thinnest of lines right now between us and the unthinkable. If things go south, it won't be like some people imagine. It won't be a glorious uprising. It will be a Bosnia. It will be a Serbia. It will be a Georgia or Ukraine. It will be all of these, but much much worse. Our population is armed. If the time comes that those who just want to be left alone in peace with their families realize that peace is not desired by the other side, then they will receive what they desire. It won't be pretty. It won't be civil. It won't be limited by any rules. Pray for this country and her people. Pray that peace prevails. #momentum #peace #war #CivilWar #Uprising #Struggle #WROL #Strife #Unrest

Definition of Christian Nationalism Using the provided definition of nationalism as a political ideology or sentiment that emphasizes the interests, culture, identity, or sovereignty of a nation or group united by shared characteristics (such as language, history, or ethnicity), and which promotes the nation's unity, independence, and pride—sometimes at the expense of other groups or individual rights—Christian nationalism can be understood as a specific variant of this ideology. It applies nationalist principles to a vision where the shared characteristics binding the nation are rooted in Christianity, including its doctrines, moral values, historical narratives, and cultural practices. In this framework, the nation (often specifically the United States in modern contexts) is viewed as inherently Christian in its founding, identity, and purpose, with policies, laws, and governance ideally aligned to uphold and promote Christian principles. This can manifest as civic Christian nationalism, emphasizing shared Christian values like justice, mercy, and responsibility as foundational to citizenship and societal well-being, or as ethnic/religious nationalism, where Christianity is tied to ancestry, culture, or even racial identity, potentially leading to exclusionary policies that prioritize Christians or Christian interpretations over others. Proponents may see it as inspiring self-determination for a "Christian nation," such as advocating for laws reflecting biblical ethics on issues like family, education, or foreign policy, while critics within and outside Christian circles argue it risks aggressive or exclusionary outcomes, like enforcing religious doctrine through state power. Contrast with Common Derogatory Usage Today While the core definition ties Christian nationalism to a fusion of Christian identity with national sovereignty and pride, its common derogatory usage in contemporary discourse—particularly in media, politics, and online discussions—often amplifies its extreme manifestations and frames it as a dangerous, anti-democratic force. In this pejorative sense, the term is frequently weaponized to equate it with white supremacy, racism, authoritarianism, xenophobia, or even fascism, portraying adherents as seeking to impose a theocratic regime that undermines religious pluralism, separation of church and state, and minority rights. For instance, it's commonly linked to events like the January 6 Capitol riot, where some view it as an ideology fueling racialized violence or efforts to subvert democratic processes in favor of a "Christian-dominated" America. This usage often dismisses or caricatures conservative Christian political engagement as inherently extremist, using the label to discredit views on issues like immigration, gender, or abortion without engaging the nuances of civic versus ethnic forms. In contrast to the neutral or positive self-descriptions by some supporters—who see it as simply loving one's country through a Christian lens or reviving moral foundations in society—the derogatory framing assumes malicious intent, such as merging church and state to create a "white Christian" hegemony that excludes non-Christians, people of color, or LGBTQ+ individuals card. This shift in usage has made the term a polarizing slur in debates, with left-leaning sources emphasizing threats to democracy and right-leaning ones arguing it's a fabricated bogeyman to vilify patriotism informed by faith. For example, while historical figures like the U.S. Founding Fathers are sometimes retroactively labeled under this derogatory lens for their moral-religious views on governance, defenders point out that such interpretations ignore the Constitution's protections for religious freedom. Overall, the derogatory connotation has grown since the 2010s, often blending factual critiques of exclusionary elements with broader smears that overlook how many Christians reject theocratic nationalism in favor of pluralistic engagement. #ChristianNationalism #Nationalism ,

Fellow Senators, friends, colleagues, allies, adversaries, I stand before you this morning with a heavy heart. I've spent my life in this Chamber. I came here as a child. And as I look around me now, I realize that I have almost no memories that pre-date my arrival, and few bonds of affection that cleave so tightly. Through these many years, I believe I have served my constituents honorably and upheld our code of conduct. This Chamber is a cauldron of opinions, and we've certainly all had our patience and tempers tested in pursuit of our ideals. Disagree as we might, I am hopeful that those of you who know me will vouch for my credibility in the days to come. I stand this morning with a difficult message. I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest. This Chamber's hold on the truth was finally lost on the Ghorman Plaza. What took place yesterday, what happened yesterday on Ghorman, was unprovoked genocide! Yes! Genocide! And that truth has been exiled from this Chamber! And the monster screaming the loudest? The monster we've helped create? The monster who will come for us all soon enough ... is Emperor Palpatine! #Andor #Empire #Truth #Deception #Evil #Vulnerable #StarWars #Senate #Speech #MonMothma #DeathOfTruth

What is the purpose of dating? For a follower of Christ, the answer is simple. The only purpose of dating is to find the person you intend to marry. I will say it again: The only reason for a Christian to go on a date it to find the person you are going to marry. Be clear about your expectations when going on a date. Communicate these to the other person. If they are not of the same mind, then don't go. If you are not looking for a mate, don't date. The only thing that a date is designed to do is lead to greater levels of intimacy. If you have determined that the person in question is not spouse material, do not continue to date them. If the decision is made during date, cut it short if possible. There is no reason to get more intimate with a person you are not going to marry. Getting more intimate leads to activities that are forbidden to unmarried people. Who should you marry? There are a few criteria that should disqualify a potential mate. • First, you must God first. Before yourself, before your family, before your • friends, before everything. • They must be of the same faith. • They must God first. Before themself, before their family, before their friends, before everything. • They should agree to holding each other accountable. • They should be chaste; not having sex, with anyone (including you). • They should have similar political views. • They should have similar values. • They should desire the same thing as far as having or not having children (and the number). • They should be a sane, sober moral, prudent person. • They should have their finances in order. • They should be on good terms with and honoring their parents. • They should always act honorably and treat you with respect. • They should be quick to listen and slow to anger. • Again, they Must put God first. "Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people. “Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord. “And do not touch what is unclean; And I will welcome you. “And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty." " II Corinthians 6:14-18 "This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; " James 1:19 Honor god in all that you do and He will bless you. Honor God with your relationships and He will bless your relationships. Honor God with all your decisions...

COMMITMENT vs CONV ENIENCE In this world, there are few things more important than your marriage. I take you to be my wife (husband), to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I pledge you my faith. "What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” (Matthew 19:6) In the western world we have lost sight of the gravitas of vows made before God and Man. After our devotion to God, only devotion to our spouse ranks higher. How seriously we regard the latter illuminates our devotion to the former. We pledge ourselves to a three way covenant between ourselves, our spouses, and God. Honoring that vow is critical to our personal faith, to the continuance of our family's faith, and our societal strength. 1) What we model for our spouse confirms our commitment to God and, as a consequence, to him or her. "If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or takes an oath to put himself under an obligation, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth." Numbers 30:2 "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. So husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself." Ephesians 5:25-28 "Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." Titus 2:3-5 When we keep our vows to God it reaffirms our character to ourselves and to our spouses. It shows we can be trusted. It shows our commitment. It demonstrates submission to God and shows what our priorities are. Keeping our vows to God helps encourage our spouse to do the same. "And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart." Ecclesiastes 4:12 Everything we do, we do out of Love; love for God and love for each other. "Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 2) What we model for our children becomes their initial foundation for their understanding of God's love for us. "These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up." Deuteronomy 6:6-7 "Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 "In all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified, sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us." Titus 2:7-8 When you honor God and honor your spouse you are training your children how they should act. Do not think that your actions go unnoticed. We are very perceptive, especially in those formative years. Things that you do not think important are often the things that grab the attention of your children. You are not just training them in a formal sense by going to church or telling them explicitly what you believe. You are training them by the every day actions you take. You are training them when they see how you behave towards your spouse. You are training them by what they see when you don't know you are being watched. Everything that you do is training them. In light of this, honor God in everything you do, honor your vows to him, and honor your vows to your spouse. 3) What we model for the community shows them what we believe better than any words ever could. "The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:9 "Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation." 1 Peter 2:12 "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16 We shape the world we live in. We shape it physically by building and demolishing things in the environment, by planting and harvesting the fields, and any number of other actions we take. We change the world just by living in it. We also shape the world by what we say and the values we hold. If we value honesty and integrity, then we need to BE honest and have integrity. If we want a society that values traditional values, then we must demonstrate those values ourselves. If honor is important and vows are to be kept, then be the example and light the way. If you love God, then show that love to the world. Our country has fallen away from all of these things over the long years since it's founding. Many of the things that were admirable about our country have been dismantled and discarded at the prompting of the evil one. We need to return to our roots. We need to return to Honor. We need to honor God. #Marriage #Vows #Commitment #Faithful #Covenant #Honor #BiblicalMarriage #Devotion #ChristianValues #Family #Faith #Love #LoveIsPatient #ReturnToHonor #TraditionalValues #GodlyLiving #Integrity #HonorGod
