Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE. Heb 12:28-29
Why are people acting as if reality and truth are determined by the color of your skin? A black lawyer doesn't change the law. A black juror doesn't change the evidence. Truth isn't melanin-dependent.
Senator Lee, in a Republican Party that includes Lisa Murkowski and Mitch McConnell, can you really not conceive of why calling yourself something does not in fact make you that thing?
Paul speaks of one preaching “another Jesus” whom the Apostles “have not preached” (2 Corinthians 11:4). They may call him “Jesus,” as the Mormons do, but then they also teach something about Jesus that is so fundamentally unlike the true Christ that their “Jesus” is different from the only Jesus who actually exists.
As there are RINOs, there are CINOs—Christians in name only, who take the name of the Lord in vain. There are certain things which, if believed, preclude someone from salvation (like believing that Jesus was a created being and the spirit brother of Lucifer), because to believe those things is to believe in another Jesus—in a phantom savior that doesn’t exist, and therefore who cannot save people from their sins.
So now, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight. Exodus 33:13a LSB
Switched from Walgreens to a local pharmacy because the customer service is superior. My last visit to WGs I was the only person in line & no one was in the drive thru. I waited 10 minutes without any acknowledgment and walked out. Berkeley Pharmacy greeted me within 10 seconds.
Do As You Please
Someone once said, "If I had my way in this world, I would have it so that all would be allowed to do as they please." That sounds ideal ... until someone is pleased to steal from you, or it pleases him to kill another human being. The problem is that sin dwells in our hearts and while it promises pleasure, it's in truth "the ultimate partypooper." Sin is the undetected poison hidden in a delicious meal. Paul spoke of sin deceiving him and bringing about his death. John Bunyan (author of Pilgrim's Progress) said, "The man who does not know the nature of the Law, cannot know the nature of sin." And Martin Luther added, "The first duty of the Gospel preacher is to declare God's Law and show the nature of sin." So, take courage, and take the Law and use it to show sinners the true and deceiving nature of sin.
There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
Literally my favorite hymn. I’ve Tweeted it before, but it never gets old. The message is as soothing as the music: God is in control. I’m not:

Lyrics from the late 1600s, by Samuel Rodigast (“Was Gott Tut”). The tune & arrangement are by Josh Bauder.
My father grew up in the segregated South.
He had to walk around to the BACK of a restaurant just to order a sandwich because he was black.
THAT was Jim Crow.
Not showing a photo ID to vote.
You need an ID to:
• Board a plane
• Cash a check
• Buy alcohol
• Enter federal buildings
But suddenly showing an ID to vote is “racist”?
Give me a break.
This is not civil rights.
This is political theater.
The Democrat Party survives by manufacturing grievance because they have nothing else to run on.
Comparing voter ID laws to segregation is not just dishonest, it is insulting to the people who actually lived through Jim Crow.
Asking Americans to prove they are who they say they are when they cast their vote is called common sense.
Let the weeds grow in my soul, be cut at their roots; Grant me to know that I truly live only when I live to thee, but all else is trifling. My presence alone can make me holy, devout, strong, and happy. Abide in me, gracious God. Puritan prayer
Just saw a minivan congratulating an 8th grader for graduating with the wording across the back “You F***ing Did It!”
Normalizing such profanity in our culture—especially for children—is disgusting.
NEW: In a mandatory anti-racism class, Penn State told 1L law students they must "acknowledge the reality of systemic racism" and "dismantle systems that racialize, subordinate, and oppress."
One student withdrew from the law school over the class. We obtained shocking audio.🧵
We love the WV voting process. The triple check to make sure the person who is voting matches the information of the person who registered. So different from the PNW.
