What a distortion of the gospel on full display. This kind of “love” is meaningless if it just means affirmation of the self. Can a person save himself? If sin doesn’t separate us from God, then why did Jesus have to die on the cross?
“but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 (ESV)
I saved for months to attend a Christian conference where my favorite preacher was ministering.
Not just any seat.
Front row.
Close enough to hear every word clearly.
Before the session started, a lady tapped my shoulder.
“Hi,” she smiled softly. “My church group is seated here, but my ticket is for the overflow hall downstairs.
Would you mind swapping with me?”
I looked at her badge, then mine.
“I’m really sorry,” I said kindly, “but I sacrificed a lot to be here.”
Her expression changed immediately.
She turned to her friends and said loudly,
“Imagine coming to a Christian gathering and refusing to show love.”
Another girl added,
“We’re believers.
Why are Christians so selfish these days?”
I stayed quiet for a moment, then replied gently:
“If giving away a seat is the loving thing to do, why doesn’t one of you swap with her and sit downstairs?”
Silence.
Nobody moved.
Nobody volunteered.
And in that moment, I learned something important:
Many people admire sacrifice when it costs someone else.
But wisdom is knowing that saying “no” does not make you less like Christ.
One of the problems is that when you wait for years to have kids, trying to accumulate enough wealth so that you can raise children “comfortably” or whatever, your marriage becomes frail and brittle. You haven’t allowed yourselves to be tested. You haven’t met any resistance. The union atrophies. You get bored. Then one serious challenge comes along and you fall apart. You weren’t ready for it.
My wife and I have been together 15 years, started out broke. Six kids and a decade and a half later, we’ve been tried and tested a million times. We’ve been through the fire together. Problems come along and we deal with them. It’s nothing we haven’t seen before. Now we have the confidence of people who’ve been through the wringer. We have a sense of shared experience and shared achievement. We built this life together. We both belong here.
That’s the great benefit of getting married and starting a family young. Get in on the ground floor with each other. Start at the bottom hand in hand.

Holy crap… Trump might've pulled it off
GDP just hit 4.3% (expectation: 3.3%)
Strongest quarter since 2023
Inflation hit 2.7% (expectation: 3.1%)
Lowest rate since March 2021
High growth, low inflation
You're living in historic times. Good and evil are at war in front of our eyes. Islam is a demonically inspired "faith" that seeks to murder those who disagree with it. Does that sound like God to you? A Leftist murdered Charlie because he was speaking truth. JESUS is the answer.
A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc. Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!
This is officially the all-time most important post from President Trump.
An unending stream of Third World immigration is crushing our country in countless ways. We need a moratorium.
The left will predictably freak out in their shrill, unhinged, adolescent way. Ignore them. Just like The Wall and stopping the invasion on our Southern Border, this will prove to be the president’s most politically popular policy, ever.
Repeat: Ignore the media, the virtue signaling, and the tantrums from progressives that will come in the next weeks and months. Their whole plan to destroy America requires new voters to transform the body politic. They didn’t think he had the guts to do this, and he just proved them wrong.
Thank you, Mr. President. Patriotic Americans thank you and are deeply grateful.
If it was an illegal who shot our 2 troops, deportations need to skyrocket.
If it was Muslim Brotherhood, the crackdown needs to be Biblical.
If it was Antifa, there needs to be FBI SWAT raids nationwide.
No matter what - the Seditious Six need to face justice.
Less than 2 hours before he was shot, Charlie Kirk opened up about one of his favorite verses in the Bible, declaring that God is working all things towards an ultimate good.
"One of my favorite verses though, is Romans 8:28, which says that God works all things for good for those who love Him."
"It's a very freeing and liberating verse for those of us that are Christians, because we believe that when things can be really bad, God is working it for His good."
The footage was taken at a 'Restaurant Tour' event in Salt Lake City at 11:07 am, according to the original poster.
Charlie was preaching about his faith in Jesus Christ up until his last breath.
He is in a much better place.

Charlie Kirk assassinated at 31 years old.
The question he was answering from the audience member was, “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”
Honestly, I’m angry. “O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD! (Psa 58:6)
Yes, the God-hating wicked have breached the walls and overtaken our innocent. The left loves violence and perversion.
But, I guess I’m just as angry, maybe more, that America is suffocating under the cowardice of weak, effeminate men. The watchmen have been asleep. And even worse, they made alliances with our enemies.
Strong men, who dare to defend the Christian and traditional foundations of this nation, are mocked, slandered, threatened, and destroyed. I see it every day. Especially at the Capitol and in religious circles. We are living in a time when those who stand firm are targeted, while those who bend and bow are celebrated and funded.
History warns and Scripture confirms, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” When justice is delayed, evil takes the throne.
“Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil” (Ecclesiastes ). Delay and weakness empower wickedness.
For too long, men have sat silently on the sidelines while godless parasites seized power. Some even drape themselves in the name of Christ to sanctify their corruption, baptizing lawlessness with pious words. Hypocrits and cowards embolden evil.
Where are the warriors, Christian men of conviction holding firm to Scripture and putting themselves on the line for justice and love for neighbor? If you do not see one around you, or even in the mirror, then you must resolve to become one. Seek them out. Stand with them. Rally under their banner. Begin now to steel your family for the storm at our doorstep. Neutrality and hesitation are no longer options.
The time for hesitation is over. Choose now. Every sign screams we’re close to a breaking point.
My prayer is that it begins with repentance. Men must fall to their knees and confess that we have belittled the name of Christ, been self-serving instead of zealous for His glory, abandoned our neighbors, and betrayed the innocent to wolves. We have allowed evildoers to roam free without fear of swift judgment, and we have refused to wield the sword of justice that God entrusted to civil authority.
America once unapologetically wielded strength. Swift, visible, public justice cut down wickedness before it spread. The guilty trembled, and the innocent walked in safety.
It is time to return to iron-fisted accountability, to reestablish public executions and shame, and to confront wickedness with the justice it deserves.
Men, the call is clear. Look yourself in the eye. Are you rotting in apathy while dark forces scheme to obliterate your family, your church, and your legacy? Or will you rise? No more excuses. No more delays. The future of America and our children’s future depends upon the strength, resolve, and courage of men willing to lead.
Rise. Take up your place. Lead with conviction. Be the gospel-preaching, justice wielding warriors this nation now requires.
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong” (1Cor ).
