It’s being reported that they’re checking ID for entrance into the Obama Presidential Center.

But I thought checking ID was racist?

[Sebastian Gorka DrG @SebGorka]

Two facts to remember:

- It’s an MOU. Not a final agreement.

- President @realDonaldTrump always wins.

So ignore the idiots and prevaricators, calm down, and trust the Commander-in-Chief who has delivered like no other man has ever delivered.

🔸 June 19 - The Holy Apostle Jude 🔸

Today, we commemorate the Holy Apostle Jude, one of the original Twelve Apostles of the Lord, and the author of the Epistle of Jude in the New Testament. In the Gospels, he is also referred to by the names Thaddaeus and Lebbaeus. St Jude, along with his brother James, was the son of St Joseph the Betrothed by his first wife. He is therefore considered a brother of the Lord. Since he bears the same name as Judas Iscariot the betrayer, his name has been shortened to Jude to distinguish him.

The Gospel of John tells us that Jude and his brothers initially rejected Christ: “even His brothers did not believe in Him” (John 7:5). Tradition says that when St Joseph returned from the flight into Egypt, he began to divide his possessions among his sons. He wanted to allot a share to Christ the Savior, born miraculously and incorruptibly from the All-Pure Virgin Mary. The brothers were opposed to this because Jesus was born of another mother. Only James, later called “the Brother of God” offered to share his portion with Him.

Jude finally came to believe in Christ as the awaited Messiah, and followed Him and was chosen as one of the Twelve Apostles. Mindful of his sin, the Apostle Jude considered himself unworthy to be called the Lord’s brother, and in his Epistle he calls himself merely the brother of James. After the Ascension of the Lord, St Jude preached the Gospel in Judea, Galilee, Samaria and Idumaia, and later in the lands of Arabia, Syria, Mesopotamia and Edessa. Tradition holds that he also travelled to Persia where he wrote his Epistle.

St Jude’s Epistle speaks about the Holy Trinity, the Incarnation of the Lord, the good and bad angels, and the Last Judgment. The Apostle urges believers to guard themselves against fleshly impurity, to be diligent in prayer, faith and love, to convert the lost to the path of salvation, and to guard themselves from the teachings of heretics: “contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3). The Holy Apostle Jude died a martyr’s death around the year 80 AD near Mount Ararat in Armenia where he was captured by pagans and crucified.

🔥 **895 STUDENTS. ONE BOLD YES TO JESUS.**

What God did through Abraham Aguilar at Palmdale High School is the kind of story that reminds us revival is still possible.

Abraham didn't grow up as the student most people would have expected to become an evangelist. He battled rebellion, struggled with substance abuse, and often resisted the faith his mother tried so hard to instill in him. Church was something he attended reluctantly, not something he embraced.

But God had other plans.

Through consistent preaching, discipleship, and the conviction of the Holy Spirit, Abraham's heart began to change. Eventually he surrendered his life completely to Christ and started sharing the Gospel with the people around him.

What began as simple conversations turned into something extraordinary.

Abraham started a small Bible study group at his school and faithfully shared Jesus with classmates, teachers, and even school staff. By the end of the school year, an estimated **895 students had made decisions to follow Christ.**

Think about that for a moment.

One student.
One surrendered life.
Nearly 900 young people impacted with the message of Jesus.

This is a powerful reminder that God can use anyone who is willing to say yes. Your past does not disqualify you. Your mistakes do not define you. And your age does not limit what God can do through you.

Revival doesn't always start from a stage. Sometimes it starts in a classroom.

🙏 Pray for Abraham and the students whose lives were touched by the Gospel. May this be only the beginning of what God does in their generation.

One of my favorite memories of Jonathan Toews is when he took over the Western Conference Final in 2015 against Anaheim. The Hawks looked overmatched & were down 3-2 in the series when Toews willed the Hawks to victory. I’m going to miss the Captain. Retirement well earned.
