@jayplemons@spencerpratt It’s so refreshing to hear a candidate just give the truth. Not stumble around some non-answer because they have been coached on what to say.
Whenever I hear “capitalism is bad,” here’s where I stand:
People don’t risk their lives jumping barbed wire to escape capitalism.
They risk their lives to reach it.
This MRI study on young kids just exposed something terrifying:
They scanned the brains of 60 children aged 3–5 — including 5-year-old Rose — and found interactive screen time is causing measurable loss of white matter in their developing brains. Even just 2 hours a day is linked to impaired neural connectivity, language, and literacy development.
Professor Mike Nagel (neuroscientist and father) said his first reaction was simply: “Wow… I was not anticipating seeing anything like that.”
We’re physically changing children’s brains before they even start school — and the damage is visible on scans.
This one actually unsettled me. I’ve always suspected too much screen time was bad, but seeing real white matter loss in toddlers hits different.
Parents of little ones — has this kind of research changed how much screen time you allow?
Helen Roseveare, a missionary who faced intense suffering and persecution during her 20 years of service in the Congo, shares one of the times that she saw God answer prayer in a most unexpected way:
"I went to have prayers with our orphanage children as I did every day, and any of the children wanted gathered around me for prayer time, and I'd give them different things to pray about. And this particular day, I told the children of this tiny baby and asked them to pray for the nurses that they would stay awake all night to keep that baby warm. If the baby got cold, it would die. I mentioned that the baby had a 2-year-old sister who was crying because her mommy had died. I mentioned the burst hot water bottle.
During prayer time, different children prayed for different things, and then one little 10-year-old girl, Ruth, she prayed in the usual blunt way of our African children, 'Please, God, send us a hot water bottle. Now, God, it'll be no good tomorrow. Send it this afternoon. Now, if it comes tomorrow, the baby will be dead.'
I'm sort of swallowing hard, and she said, 'While you're about it, God, would you send a dolly for the little 2-year-old sister, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?'
And that afternoon, the parcel came. It was the first parcel I ever, I've been out there four years, I'd never had a parcel from home. And despite the fact I live on the equator, somebody packing that parcel had been prompted by God to put in a hot water bottle, and a child from my Bible class at home had put in a dolly for a little girl.
And it came that afternoon in answer to a 10 year-old child's prayer, and the amazing thing was, you know, that parcel had been on the way five months to get to us. It had left England in July, and it came that afternoon, cause a child prayed."
@DOAxBO@BabysitterBari And the most famous passage on judging tells us to get ourselves right first, BEFORE judging our brothers and sisters. When instructed not to give sacred things to dogs or pearls to pigs, the believer has to use discernment or JUDGE that some are dogs/pigs.
@DOAxBO@BabysitterBari Judging is biblical. There’s a right way to do it, but to imply Christians should not judge other Christian’s behavior is flat out wrong.
I’m confused about the position of the left-
Are women capable of being President?
Or are women incapable of acquiring the requisite documents to vote?
It cant be both.
@WellsJorda89710 If a pastor is doing his job well, congregants won’t need an endorsement of a certain candidate. If my pastor endorsed a terrible candidate I would lose all respect and change churches.
@jrptigers I agree that all the emerging fraud being discovered defies description. Enough is enough!!! Let’s catch people who defraud our nation and punish them.
