There is no political Islam; no moderate Islam; no Islamism; no extremist militant Islamism; no Jihadism; no Wahhabism; no self-radicalized Islamism; no radical Islam; no radical Islamism. There is only Islam. Countless Islamic leaders and scholars have said so. Only Westerners come up with euphemisms to protect Islam as though the latter fictitious terms are something distinct from Islam.
@needGod_net Far too many people believe that the moment they are in the middle of being baptized that that is the moment of being born again or "converted" (mostly romanists)
Oswald Chambers famously stated, “Jesus Christ can afford to be misunderstood; we cannot. Our weakness lies in always wanting to vindicate ourselves.”
He further expanded on this theme in a prayer, writing, “O Lord, deliver me from this lust of always vindicating myself.” Chambers argued that such a need for constant vindication destroys our soul’s faith in God & leads us to try to explain ourselves rather than trusting that Our Lord never explained anything, leaving misconceptions to correct themselves.
🚨EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN🚨
@USDOT is issuing an emergency shutdown of 110 CDL schools and removing an additional 160+ training providers for failing to meet @FMCSA standards.
These are the WORST OF THE WORST:
❌ INADEQUATE space for driving examination
❌ UNLICENSED training instructors
❌ ZERO classroom spaces
❌ MISSING records of testing
FRAUD CAN RUN BUT IT CAN’T DRIVE
When a nation "closes its eyes" to the murder of children, God moves his judgment away from just the murderer and onto *the nation*
It does not matter if there are "extenuating circumstances" or hormonal impulses for child murder, and God knew people's emotions could be manipulated to avoid justice falling.
This is why throughout the Old Testamemt when God commands justice (death penalty) to fall on murderers, He repeatedly says "Your eye shall not pity [her]."
And we have also (+Lindsey Clancy) been doing this for ~50 years in our nation, storing up wrath (Romans 1) for a day that, without repentance, will come.

Father, thank You that I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me (Galatians 2:20). Because Jesus died and rose again, I count myself dead to sin and alive to You in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:11).
Help me walk today in newness of life (Romans 6:4). Let sin no longer reign in me, but may I present myself fully to You as one who has been brought from death to life (Romans 6:12-13). Set my mind on things above, where Christ is (Colossians 3:1-3), and let the life of Jesus be revealed through me (2 Corinthians 4:10-11).
I have been made alive together with Christ (Ephesians 2:4-5). So today, let me live not for myself, but for Him who died and was raised for me (2 Corinthians 5:15).
I am alive because Christ is alive.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
"If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us."
There is only one political party in America consistently electing people who...
1) View Christianity as a bad thing
2) View America as The Bad Guys
Pastor friends, please stop morally equivocating the current parties. You are helping put both the enemies of our nation and open enemies of Christ in power.

Charles Spurgeon on how Jesus Christ FEELS when a "horrible sinner" comes to Him in need of mercy:
"My Master never denied himself... If you go to him, you will find him at home and on the look-out for you: he will be more glad to receive you than you will be to be received, for he 'waits to be gracious.'
He is watching for you. I tell you again that he cannot reject you: that would be to alter his whole character and un-Christ himself.
To spurn a coming sinner would un-Jesus him, and make him to be somebody else, and not himself any longer. 'He cannot deny himself.'
Go and try him. Go and try him."
Question: If you end up in heaven, what’s the difference as to why you ended up there compared to the person who ended up in hell?
If your answer is “Because I was obedient,” “I got baptized,” etc then it sounds like your trust is in yourself, not in Jesus alone.

Father, thank You that victory is already ours in Jesus Christ. Sin has been defeated, death has lost its sting, and the grave does not have the final word. Your Word declares, “Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57).
Today, we stand not in our own strength, but in the finished work of Jesus. We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. No accusation can condemn what Christ has redeemed, no darkness can overcome His light, and no enemy can undo what the cross accomplished.
So we walk today with confidence, gratitude, and joy. Jesus is risen. Jesus is reigning. Jesus is victorious. And because we belong to Him, His victory is ours.
In the mighty name of Jesus, amen.
@WatchChad This giant vessel is slowly turning around with an undeniably small but very strong & determined rudder, turning us back in the right direction. We need to be patient. God is moving; He's reviving this nation. And we're responding by staying at the helm.
