I am a follower of Christ first.
I am a mom and a wife second.
I am an American third.
These are in order of priority. I will never forsake my faith for my country. Trump is not the savior of the world. Jesus is the savior of the world. Revelation was a warning to followers of Christ. It was not a prescription to summon Jesus. Helping to eliminate Al Aqsa mosque to rebuild the temple in any way will curse this nation that I call home. Zionists are not summoning Jesus by waging war and rebuilding the temple. They are summoning the antichrist. Read your Bible like a follower of Christ.
Our local school used veterans day as an opportunity to pitch military service to the high school kids. They had a veteran give a speech. My advice....Just say no you don't want to die for Israel. π€²
@Anonymous756838@aerendian Oh absolutely. Fight for Israel so you can afford a home. My kids won't be joining the military, and our home will always be here for them.
@benshapiro Ben wants you to be a Christian so you can worship Israel.
Jesus wants you to be a Christian so you can worship Him and save your eternal soul.
@ZeekArkham Well, you already have the "Israel is our greatest ally," and "I stand with Israel" talking points down, so now you just need to take them up on their offer to visit Israel and kiss the wall. You're a shoe in.
@keleigh1959@RobbieA45578 And I won't blame the Democrats for doing what Democrats do. I'll blame the Republicans for being spineless feckless wastes of space.
You are a pro with that grinder. I bought one for the specific purpose of cutting holes for a door and ventilation in my metal shed to convert it into a chicken coop.
I was so nervous to use it. I need to practice more, but I'm still scared of it.
Also, I almost lost my middle finger when I was 19 while pitting an avocado at my job, so I have sharp object PTSD. π
@TheCameronTeich And they just built a brand new parsonage on the church property. 3 bedroom house all paid for by the congregation. They sold their old house and pocketed the profit. Now, they pay no property taxes on their home. Their house is bigger than the church.
It's probably because they're too busy trying to make money, honestly. You want to reach young families? Donate toys to their kids and give them directly to families for Christmas. Pay overdue electric bills. Pay for a new car battery. Support their business or side hustle. Buy school supplies for needy families.
We have a broken glass front door that will cost 1k to replace, because both side panels are broken as well. It's boarded up with cardboard. Many people from our church have come to that very door including the pastor's wife, and we have had to direct them to another door. My husband is working 46 hrs a week and is taking cyber security classes. We're not asking for handouts, but not a single person in our church has even enquired about what's going on with the door, yet they notice when we don't come to church, because my husband worked 6 days that week and we are tired and behind on housework/cooking/shopping etc.
And yet there's a wealthy family that goes to our church who are doubling rent on people who live in their properties due to nearby data centers.
People forgot what churches are here for in the first place.
@TheCameronTeich And yes we have to sit through videos of missions in Africa that our congregation collects money for. We are in one of the most impoverished counties in Texas.
