Let’s all keep praying Megan.

If you don’t believe miracles happen, my op-ed on the doctrine of Providence, complete with reference to RC Sproul and the Westminster larger catechism, is the lead in the Washington Post’s opinion section of today’s Sunday edition. 😄

And for those who fighting the paywall, perhaps this might help! (And thanks again to religion editor @matthewschmitz for commissioning!)

So true.

[Oliver Burdick @oliverburdick]

MORMONISM: started by Joseph Smith claiming an angel gave him a message.

ISLAM: started by Muhammad claiming an angel gave him a message.

BIBLE: “Even if an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, a curse be on him!"

[RedAlways @PATRIOT2117]

A church in Atlanta was honoring one of its senior pastors who had been retired many years. He was 92 at that time and I wondered why the church even bothered to ask the old gentleman to preach at that age.

After a warm welcome, introduction of this speaker, and as the applause quieted down, he rose from his high back chair and walked slowly, with great effort and a sliding gait to the podium.

Without a note or written paper of any kind he placed both hands on the pulpit to steady himself and then quietly and slowly he began to speak....

"When I was asked to come here today and talk to you, your pastor asked me to tell you what was the greatest lesson ever learned in my 50-odd years of preaching. I thought about it for a few days and boiled it down to just one thing that made the most difference in my life and sustained me through all my trials. The one thing that I could always rely on when tears and heartbreak and pain and fear and sorrow paralyzed me...

The only thing that would comfort was this verse....

"Jesus loves me this I know.
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong,
We are weak but He is strong.....
Yes, Jesus loves me....
The Bible tells me so."

The old pastor stated, "I always noticed that it was the adults who chose the children's hymn 'Jesus Loves Me' (for the children of course) during a hymn sing, and it was the adults who sang the loudest because I could see they knew it the best."

"Here for you now is a Senior version of Jesus Loves Me":

JESUS LOVES ME
Jesus loves me, this I know,
Though my hair is white as snow
Though my sight is growing dim,
Still He bids me trust in Him.

(CHORUS)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME.. YES, JESUS LOVES ME..
YES, JESUS LOVES ME, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
Though my steps are oh, so slow,
With my hand in His I'll go
On through life, let come what may,
He'll be there to lead the way.

(verse 2)
When the nights are dark and long,
In my heart He puts a song..
Telling me in words so clear,
"Have no fear, for I am near."

(Verse 3)
When my work on earth is done,
And life's victories have been won.
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand His love.

(CHORUS)
I love Jesus, does He know?
Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say,
That I love Him every day.

If you think this is neat, please pass it on to your friends. If you do not pass it on, nothing bad will happen, but you will have missed an opportunity to "reach out and touch" a friend or a loved one. God Bless Us All!!! AMEN!

This is so true. Our government is like a cancer out of control. So much waste and so much fraud.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

James Madison described the powers of the federal government as “few and defined” and those reserved to the states as “numerous and indefinite.”

We’ve been dangerously drifting from that understanding since the 1930s.

The drift has been most evident in areas now most fraught with waste, fraud, and abuse.

If we honored the Constitution’s limits on federal power, there’d be very little waste, fraud, and abuse in our national government.

Share if you’d like to see a “constitutional reset,” in which any government function that’s not obviously and necessarily federal under the Constitution would be returned “to the states respectively, or to the people,” as the Tenth Amendment specifies.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Bill Maher just dedicated the end of his show to throwing his own party under the bus for defending every minority group except Jews.

“There is a frothing anxiousness for the literal extermination of this one group. And Democrats, where are you?”

“If any other minority group was being talked about this way, you’d break out the Kente cloth and have 10 benefit concerts.”

“But because you see that so many of your brainwashed-by-TikTok constituents now have an unfavorable view of Israel, you indulge them when you should be correcting them.”

“All the people likely running for president now on the Democratic side want it known they don’t take money from AIPAC, the Israeli lobby… You take money from crypto and factory farmers and big tech, from Diddy and Weinstein and Epstein, but AIPAC is too far?”

“Let me just say this to all who ask me, ‘Why are you harder on the Democrats than you used to be?’ Until you fix this whole issue, stop asking me.”

[Mossad Commentary @MOSSADil]

A FIRST: FREEDOM OF RELIGION ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT

Chief Rabbi of Tzfat, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, has called on the Knesset to approve the construction of a synagogue on the Temple Mount.

For years, Jews have been told that freedom of religion applies everywhere except the holiest site in Judaism.

That contradiction cannot last forever.

Great communicator. Well said.

[Russ Andrews @RussAndrews777]

@TNTJohn1717 I disagree with you but I’m not going to argue with you.

[Russ Andrews @RussAndrews777]

@TNTJohn1717 I love your historical review; however your review serves as the very reason translations do not end with the KJV. God is still preserving as you so eloquently revealed throughout history. Modern textual critics use great sources such as the Dead Sea scrolls to continue this work

[Russ Andrews @RussAndrews777]

This is excellent!!

[Sana Ebrahimi Ledene @__Injaneb96]

🔥Prince Reza Pahlavi just dropped a masterclass response🔥

German journalist tries to trap him:
“Are you an Israeli asset?”

Prince Reza fires back without hesitation:

“Of course not… but I am a friend to Israelis and the Jews.”
Then he schools everyone:
After reminding them about Cyrus the Great, he added:
“In modern history, Iran is the only country that harbored Jews escaping Hitler and his regime.”

Mic. Dropped.🎤

It’s actually wild that a German journalist feels comfortable throwing shade on Jews and Israel.
Prince Reza Pahlavi stays classy, stays truthful, and stays based.

@Mark_Wilson_25 The Bible does not mention two Second Comings. There is no secret coming. When He returns the trumpet will sound, the clouds will part and every eye shall see him (Revelation 1:7). The whole left behind series got it all wrong. We have been in tribulation since Christ’s ascension

[Russ Andrews @RussAndrews777]

@JoshuaBarzon Do you sell your charts?

[Russ Andrews @RussAndrews777]

Wow! Wow! So so true. Pass this truth on.

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me. — Hosea 4:6

God didn’t blame the culture. He blamed the pulpit.

The priests failed. The men who were supposed to stand between God and the people and press the truth into their chests until it burned, they went soft. They filed the edges off the sword until it couldn’t cut butter. They kept the building open and the lights on and the coffee hot and the sermons short and the parking lot full and the offering plates circulating on time.
And the nation rotted from the sanctuary out.

Because a church that won’t tell the truth is just a building with a steeple. A pastor who won’t name the sin is just a man with a microphone and a retirement plan. A religion that makes you comfortable isn’t saving you. It’s sedating you. And a sedated man doesn’t know he’s dying until the lights go out.

Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. — Hosea 4:11

The heart goes first.

Not the economy. Not the military. Not the borders. The heart. A nation can still function after the heart is gone. It can still vote and shop and post and celebrate and wave flags and sing the anthem and put its hand over a chest that’s hollow.
But the pulse is weak. And the people calling evil good and good evil aren’t doing it because they’re stupid. They’re doing it because they’ve been staring at the dark so long their eyes adjusted and now the dark looks like daylight and the light burns.
That’s not confusion. That’s judgment. God gave them over. Romans 1. He stopped fighting them and let them have what they wanted and what they wanted was the thing that’s killing them.

Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish. — Hosea 4:3

The land mourns.

Not a metaphor. The dirt knows. The ground that soaks up the blood of 60 million aborted children knows. The soil under the fentanyl houses knows. The concrete under the overpasses where men who used to have families sleep in cardboard and piss knows.

Sin doesn’t stay in the bedroom. It doesn’t stay on the screen. It bleeds into the water table and the crops taste different and the air sits heavier and the birds go quiet and your kids look at you with eyes that are older than they should be and you can’t explain why everything feels wrong because you don’t have the word for it.
The word is judgment.

It’s easy to grieve a nation. It’s harder to open the locked room in your own chest and ask God to walk in.

Has truth gone dim in your own mouth? Have you reshaped God into something manageable that blesses your preferences and leaves your habits alone? Have you memorized the verses but locked the door on the rooms they’re supposed to reach?
The land didn’t forget God all at once. Hearts forgot Him first. Yours might be one of them.

Hosea doesn’t comfort you here. He stands in the wreckage and tells the truth with his chest. Sometimes that’s the kindest thing a man can do. The wound has to be ripped open before it can be cleaned.
Open the Book. Drop the pose. Call the sin what it is. Let Him search the rooms you keep locked.

A confused nation won’t be saved by an election. It’ll be saved when men and women hit the floor with no excuses left and say what Hosea’s people couldn’t.
We forgot You. And it’s killing us.

[Russ Andrews @RussAndrews777]

Wow. Well thought out. And very interesting!

[Carol M. Swain, PhD @carolmswain]

We need a divine intervention in the Middle East. Please consider joining me in prayer for a godly solution to our woes.

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” Psalm 20:7 (NIV).

Please pray fervently for President Trump, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, and other decision-makers in Europe and the Middle East.

Ask God to give these leaders wisdom, direction, and restraint where restraint is needed.

Ask God to break off any spirit of deception, pride, or rage that clouds their judgement.

Ask God to remove or silence any false prophets in the White House Office of Faith.

Ask God to raise up men and women whose fear of God is greater than their fear of men or love of the spotlight.

We ask that God’s superior plan and prophetic timetable take primacy over the plans of men.

We ask in Jesus’s name that the leaders of all affected nations will have their moves dictated by the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob.

If you agree with this prayer, please pray and share it with others. Please also feel free to post and share what God gives you.
