Believer in Jesus | Husband | Father | Pastor | Student of Scripture. A blessed and a lasting hope can only be found in Jesus Christ. And some news.

@payneerynn Not offended. Truth is truth. God made only two genders.

[Michael | At The Oaks Of Mamre @TheMamre]

Happy Birthday Jeremiah. I thank God for you. Bless you and tbe ministry Christ has granted you for His glory and kingdom.

The orphaned children I began supporting this month sent me this birthday wishes, and they made my day. Their caretaker is speaking in Tamil, my local language. This is one of the best birthday greetings I’ve received today.

[Michael | At The Oaks Of Mamre @TheMamre]

This is beautiful, necessary and a great example of Christian love. But

What Jesus Christ has achieved on the cross is far greater. Setting those who take the free offer of grace free from the penalty of God's wrath and from tbe power of sin.

Um americano pagou a dívida de uma família que vivia em escravidão por dívida há 130 anos no Paquistão, libertando-a.

A família era forçada a trabalhar em fábricas de tijolos por gerações devido a uma dívida contraída em 1900.

Happy Feast of Trumpets from Amir & the Behold Israel Team!

Leviticus 23:23-25
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocabon. You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.’ ”

@KatyKray73 Its the alborithm's fault.

[Michael | At The Oaks Of Mamre @TheMamre]

Agreed.

[Tony Abbott @HonTonyAbbott]

Very disappointed at the High Court’s refusal to hear Sall Grover’s appeal. Of course there are only two genders and of course you can’t buck biology. And no one should be in legal trouble for stating the obvious.

Lee Kuan Yew, the former PM of Singapore once called Australia the "the poor white trash of Asia". I bristled when I heard that.

Unfortunately, under Albanese and the Labor govt we have become that. This beautiful country will get trashier unless Australians come to their senses and boot them out at the next election. Starting this November in Victoria.

This should end his reign today. Who is in charge of this Party? My god, they can’t sink any lower.

Same & getting to prayer. I think about it, want to do it but struggle to actually do it.

[Pastor Rich Bitterman @w_bitterman]

Be honest: What is your biggest struggle when it comes to prayer?

Mine is keeping my mind from wandering.

In my opinion, these men were two of the most effective heralds of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our time.
Having run their respective races faithfully, now resting in eternal glory with their Saviour whom they served and loved.

To be used by the Lord in difficult circumstances is a great privilege. Pray for Pastor Sang Te. Our natural inclination is that believers like him to be released but God has other plans. Pray for strength, peace, boldness and protection while imprisoned & for favour with the guards. Then at an appointed time that God would release him. Pray that we too could have faith like this pastor if called to serve this way.

[Voice of the Martyrs @VOM_USA]

Pastor Sang Te received a 23-year prison sentence after he was arrested by Myanmar military authorities. Sang Te has been in prison four years and shared the gospel freely among the male inmates, and 60 prisoners have come to faith in Christ.

One of my favorite Charlie Kirk answers of all time.

[Michael | At The Oaks Of Mamre @TheMamre]

This post.👍👍

[Amir Tsarfati @beholdisrael]

Today marks the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s tragic death at the hands of an evil, progressive, liberal young man whose mind had been poisoned by ideology.

In 2022, my father-in-law passed away while traveling with me on a ministry tour in Italy. He died in his hotel bed shortly before his 74th birthday. When I found him the following morning, lying there lifeless, several hours had already passed since his massive heart attack.

As I struggled against bureaucracy and the absurdity of insurance companies in my efforts to bring his body home, a process that took nearly a week, I found myself pondering Isaiah 57:1–2:

“The righteous perishes,
And no man takes it to heart;
Merciful men are taken away,
While no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from evil.
He shall enter into peace;
They shall rest in their beds,
Each one walking in his uprightness.”

I asked myself: What was my precious father-in-law, who had been like a father to me, taken away from? What was he spared from seeing?

Then came October 7, and it all became clear to me.

The things we are witnessing today concerning Charlie’s death, and even more so the direction some of his former friends and colleagues have taken, would have broken his heart.

He was able to see the America for which he fought. America has changed since then.

On the 25th anniversary of September 11, the Big Apple is now governed by a Shiite Muslim who is friends with people who praised that horrific terrorist attack.

Consider the sheer lunacy and strong delusion of our time: women siding with a woman who murdered her own babies, members of the LGBTQ community standing with rapists and murderers, and socialism experiencing a disturbing renaissance.

Charlie was spared from seeing all of this.

He fought the good fight. He finished his race. He kept the faith. It was his time to go home.

Charlie was taken from us while still young, but he left behind a remarkable legacy, one that the enemy hates deeply.

Today, I choose to remember that legacy and to pray for a new wave of spiritual awakening across America.

Awaiting His Soon Return,
Amir

The older brother scares me too. May we never ever take the grace of God through Jesus Christ for granted nor wish it less for anybody else.

[Pastor Rich Bitterman @w_bitterman]

The prodigal gets most of the attention.

His older brother scares me more.

You can stay home, obey the rules and quietly resent grace every time it is given to somebody worse than you.

[Michael | At The Oaks Of Mamre @TheMamre]

Also very possible. Be discerning to know when narratives are being framed.
This is all headed towards the end prophecied in scripture. For a new system to take over the old has to be removed.
Keep looking to Jesus, every word spoken in scripture is true and will come to pass.

Former OpenAI researcher Jacob Coxon, who just quit Anthropic, is warning the public that AI is "possibly the most dangerous technology that humanity has ever created."

I find this entire situation extremely odd for a few reasons:

1) Yesterday, Jacob made 7 posts in a thread at exactly 8:04pm.

You cannot schedule thread posts, you must write or copy paste each one. Assuming he started posting at exactly 8:04:01 and copy pasted them all, that's one post every 8 seconds.

2) Despite Jacob having no prior X posts, somehow his original post got 124 million views.

3) Less than 24 hours later, Jacob is scheduled on every major media station warning the public that AI is more dangerous than nuclear weapons.

If you're a 3 letter agency preparing the narrative for a potential cyber-attack, it would look very similar to this.

These psychological operations are called predictive programming; where you expose the public to plausible narratives, so when they happen the public accepts the new reality as fact, without question.

Very suspicious, no? 🤔

[Michael | At The Oaks Of Mamre @TheMamre]

Fully agree.

[Amir Tsarfati @beholdisrael]

I just read a thread on X written by someone who recently resigned from Anthropic – one of the world’s largest AI companies.

This is a quote from his post:

“The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible – but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.”

Here is what I take from his post:

Neither wealth nor health can save you or give you eternal life.

These experts believe humanity is on a path toward self-destruction.

But I can tell you with complete assurance – AI will not be the ultimate cause of this world’s destruction. It will be the judgment of God upon an increasingly sinful, God-hating society that has rejected its Creator and replaced Him with the wisdom, power, and pleasures of this world.

The apostle Peter describes that coming day:

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.”
2 Peter 3:10 NKJV

Some may call this fearmongering. Yet the reliability, accuracy, and authenticity of the Bible have proven it to be far more trustworthy than anything this world could ever offer.

Before it is too late, choose Messiah Yeshua today. Do not remain here to witness the terrible events of the Day of the Lord. Put your faith in Him, be taken to heaven before that judgment comes, and return with Him to rule and reign.

Awaiting His Soon Return –
Amir

I am having heart surgery in the morning.
Please pray for God to bless the surgeon and nurses as I am in His hands.
Hopefully it will be 4 hours or less in surgery.
Thank you all.

@italiathetruth @Jewishlegend18 Good answer. No one is good except God.

[Michael | At The Oaks Of Mamre @TheMamre]

That it is.
God's Word coming to pass before our eyes. This will ramp up as we get closer to the return of the King.
The curtains are drawn before the opening play yet we see the stage being set. Look up Christian,for the coming of our Lord is near.

[Michael | At The Oaks Of Mamre @TheMamre]

What if a spouse dies and then you marry again which scripture allows. Does this mean you'd have 2 marriages in eternity? This is whete it gets dicey as romantic as it may sound. The plain interptetive reading is that earthly marriages are not continued in paradise but reflect God's covenantal grace and love here.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

For the one who thinks they may be beyond the mercy of God.

Scripture tells us that God's mercies are new every morning. I think of the cold crispness of the fresh morning air and how it really does seem like each day is a new thing and not just a continuation of indistinguishable, consecutive moments. I've had truly hard days (as you have) where I couldn't wait to just get to the next morning when it felt fresh and somehow removed from the pain of the prior day. It's poetic and impactful to me to think of God's mercies as "new" after not only hard times but my own personal failings and shame. His mercy is not old or used up. It is not running out and his love is not drawing thin.

To reinforce this far more I ask you to consider the context where Scripture says that God's "mercies are new every morning." It's in the book of Lamentations; a book of terrible mourning and grief after the continual sins of the nation have brought them into God's judgment. They have watched their people be killed, their temple destroyed, their children slaughtered by invaders. It's not just tragedy, it's judgment from God for their sins. This all happens after Jeremiah is instructed by God not to even pray for the people anymore leading up to their judgment. But once the judgement came, a divinely inspired prayer and assurance comes in the book of Lamentations. Now they are prayed for. Now they are praying. And their lament is heard by God. They are assured of his mercies even after he has struck them down righteously due to their sin.

God's mercies are still available for you even if you have lost everything because of your sin. Because, as Lamentations says...

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
Let him sit alone in silence when it is laid on him;
let him put his mouth in the dust— there may yet be hope;
let him give his cheek to the one who strikes, and let him be filled with insults.
For the Lord will not cast off forever,
for, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love;"
Lamentations 3:22–32 (ESV)
