If you’re curious of where I stand on any social issues, you can just pick up your Bible and see what the Lord has said. I believe as the Creator, God is the one who defines everything down to who we are ♥️
Seems worth emphasizing to the Amy Coney Barrett defenders that while yes she has had some good decisions that I’m grateful for, she has twice this week ensured that American elections will not be secure for Americans.
First, she ruled that ballots that arrive days after election day can be counted (ensuring that malfeasance can occur) and she has now also ensured that any illegal or Chinese national who can get on American soil can then leave this country, raise the child in an atmosphere of communist propaganda, and send them back here to vote in American elections when they are adults.
Both are extremely bad and your Amy Coney Barrett appreciation posts aren’t going to stop me from saying it.
No matter your husband’s sin, you don’t get a pass on being disrespectful in response.
There are many other tools in the toolbelt, but this is never one.
@TheRobertBshow Some days are 9:30-11:30, some days are 11-4 😅 and all variances between. I homeschool one very energetic 3rd grade boy. Obviously longer days include lots of breaks and snacks.
@megbasham Those who grieve without that hope cannot possibly understand how a Christian grieves. 1 Corinthians 1:18 The gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing.
I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.
But we aren't "one people" are we?
The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.
We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.
I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.
And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.
I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.
It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.
Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.
And the other side murdered him.
Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.
I don’t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk.
Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.
I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.
I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.
I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.
There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved.
But then there will be a reckoning.
My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.
So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.
Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.
Ours is just beginning.
@hillbillythings Im reformed and found nothing inspiring of correction in this though. People looking for ways to be angry 😅 It’s advent, let’s act like it! 😂
Ultimately the government is in control of absolutely nothing. God is in control of everything and can turn the channels of water in the king’s heart any way He wishes at any time.
Whatever befalls upon us is for our good (the Christian) and His glory. That may be judgement upon our nation or that may be mercy.
The government can’t actually do anything at all ie. laws/legistlation, “weather”, control, corruption, good things - without the allowance and even decree of God Almighty.
We who are in Christ can rest in Him and trust Him.
