A Pastor with any of these outside his one wife is a problem:
- 2nd wife (Deut 17:17; 1 Tim 3)
- "Work Wife"/Flirting (1 Thess 5:22)
- Girlfriend (Exo 20:14)
- Boyfriend/DL Lifestyle (Lev 20:13)
- Pornography (Matt 5:28)
Sadly alot of this is going on outside the pulpit..smh.
5 Black Governors were newly elected/re-elected last night, making history, and many other minority groups as well...all from their own MERIT!
The people have spoken!
I believe the days of old white male politicians are over and done!

Men, don't make the mistake of thinking that because you pay the bills, your job as a husband is done.
Your wife still needs your attention, affection, conversation, protection and time.
A roof over her head is important. But she also wants to feel loved inside that home.
For me, it’s the idea that “Christian = good” and “non-Christian = automatically bad” that I find funny. You’ll support the worst person simply because they lean Christian, yet immediately scrutinise a non-Christian, even when they’ve given you absolutely no reason to doubt them.
NO WE’RE NOT!!!! The whole idea that if “The Liberals” win Christianity will lose, be destroyed or lose its effectiveness is nonsense. Christians have NEVER needed to have political and cultural power in order to thrive. The Gospel has ALWAYS thrived outside of it. This is fear and a desire for control in the name of Christianity.
I think we need to reflect on how some expressions of political Christianity can unintentionally create division and push people away, particularly when support for candidates is based more on policy alignment or a shared Christian label than on character. In my opinion, the midterm results offer a moment for that reflection.
Jesus dined with tax collectors and showed compassion to both Jews and Gentiles. His example reminds us that faith should be reflected in how we treat others, not simply in the labels we claim or the politics we support.
We should be careful not to endorse people simply because they tick the “Christian” box. Look beyond the label. Pay attention to their character, values and how they treat people.

James Talarico, a Democrat, is quoting Scripture in his victory speech, and the crowd is cheering.
Democrats don’t hate religion. We hate watching people weaponize it.
Faith isn't the problem. Using God as a weapon against your neighbors is.
The South is not a "lost cause". It's underorganized, underfunded, and relentlessly suppressed & gerrymandered. And despite it all, Black Southern voters have shown up anyway to be the conscience of this country throughout our history. I hope people realize that.
Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.
While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.
Why waste time worrying about a stranger's life choices and their personal life...I'm more focused on the things that will effect my household on a daily and generations to come, like the economy, our healthcare, education, our savings, and basic civil rights. The way I see it...
