I think this needs to be made clear: The Bible never ever changes. It doesn't adapt with the times or get "updated." It is, what it is: God's word. With that out of the way, another thing must be clear: what's sin in the Bible is sinful now. Which makes it morally wrong in my 👀

In 2024, Bear 32, also known as Chunk, was observed eating 45 sockeye salmon in 10.5 hours from Brooks River in Katmai National Park & Preserve.

At an estimated average of 3,000 calories per fish, Chunk consumed around 135,000 calories in that one sitting.

August 21, 1883. Just after six in the evening, the sky over Rochester, Minnesota turns the color of a bruise. Twenty minutes later, a third of the town is gone. Thirty seven people are dead. More than two hundred are bleeding in the streets.

Rochester had no hospital. Not one.

So a convent school on the edge of town emptied out. The nuns walked into the wreckage in full habits, and a woman named Mother Alfred Moes, an immigrant from Luxembourg who had come to America with almost nothing, sent word to the only doctor in town who could handle that many wounded.

His name was William Worrall Mayo. He was 64, an English country doctor, a hard skeptic on the subject of religion.

The sisters took over Rommel's dance hall and turned it into a hospital overnight. None of them had ever been trained in nursing. They learned it standing up, with Mayo giving orders and the injured laid out on the floorboards.

When the last patient was gone, Mother Alfred went to see him.

She told him Rochester needed a real hospital. A permanent one. She said she had seen it, a great hospital rising out of the cornfields on the west edge of town, and that she wanted him to run it.

Mayo told her the truth. A building like that would cost $40,000. Well over a million in today's money. He said no congregation of school teaching nuns could possibly raise it.

She did not argue with him. She simply told him that if he would take charge of the hospital, the sisters would take charge of paying for it.

Then she went out and did it.

For six years, her sisters taught school and handed over their wages. Every dollar. She bought nine acres of farmland. She hired the builders. She oversaw the plans herself, and when the money ran short, she found more.

Saint Marys Hospital opened on September 30, 1889. Twenty seven beds. Thirteen sisters, none of them nurses by training. Dr. Mayo, now 70, walked in as chief of staff with his two sons, Will and Charlie, beside him.

Those two boys built their surgical practice inside her building. Patients started arriving from Chicago, then from every state, then from overseas. The brothers formalized the partnership in 1919 and gave it their family name.

Mayo Clinic. Today it treats more than a million patients a year and is ranked the best hospital in the United States.

Mother Alfred Moes died on December 18, 1899, ten years after the doors opened. She never saw what it became.

The Mayo brothers always said it plainly. Their father did not want the hospital. The nun did. She built it, and then she handed them the keys.

Millions of Americans have made the drive to Rochester with someone they love in the passenger seat. Almost none of them know that the whole thing started with a 54-year-old woman standing in tornado wreckage, refusing to accept a no.

Jesus died at 33. The human spine has 33 vertebrae. The same structure that holds us up is the same number of years He held this Earth.

We have 12 ribs on each side. 12 disciples. 12 tribes of Israel. God built His design into our bones. He wrote Heaven into our anatomy.

The vagus nerve runs from your brain to your heart and gut. It calms storms inside the body. It looks just like a cross. That’s the power source running through us. Every time your body heals, every time your heart slows in prayer, every time peace shows up when it shouldn’t…that’s Him.

Jesus rose on the third day. Science tells us that when you fast for 3 days, your body starts regenerating. Old cells die. New ones are born. Healing begins. Your body literally resurrects itself. That’s not coincidence. That’s design.

And it keeps going.

Your heart has an electrical rhythm. Your brain lights up when you pray. Tears contain different chemicals depending on if you're crying from joy or grief. The blood speaks. The bones store memory. The body worships whether you realize it or not.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are walking prophecy. Walking tabernacles. Dust and divinity in one.

God didn’t just create you. He carved Himself into you.

You don’t need to look far to find Him. You just need to look inward. He’s been in the design since the beginning.

It is a matter of historical fact that the two groups most prone to murdering or enslaving Christians are Communism and Islam.

The Democrat Party is now under the control of a marriage of convenience between literal Communists and Islamic Jihadists. This unholy alliance is popularly referred to as the "Red/Green Alliance."

If you are an American Christian, know this: the Red/Green Alliance wants you dead, or enslaved, or bankrupted, or persecuted so badly that you will not be allowed to live freely in American society.

They hide behind the lies of benevolence of seemingly harmless masks like Talarico.

Those masks will fall as soon as they achieve power.

There should not be a single adult Christian staying home for the midterms. Christians must vote like their life depends on it, because it does.

On July 21, 1865, two men stood on opposite sides of the town square in Springfield, Missouri, while a crowd watched from the storefronts.

One was Davis Tutt, a former Confederate soldier and a gambler. The other was a former Union scout named James Butler Hickok. Most people already called him Wild Bill.

They had been friends once. Then it went bad. Some said it was over a woman. What everybody agreed on was the money. Tutt claimed Hickok owed him a gambling debt from a horse trade. Hickok said he'd already paid part of it and argued about the rest.

The night before, during a card game, Tutt reached across the table and picked up Hickok's gold pocket watch. He said he was keeping it until the debt was paid.

Hickok told him not to wear it in public. Tutt said he'd wear it across the square the next day.

The next afternoon, Tutt came walking across the square with the watch.

Hickok was waiting. The two men were about 75 yards apart, which is a long way for a pistol. Witnesses said they turned sideways like old-fashioned duelists. Both men drew.

Tutt fired and missed.

Hickok steadied his revolver across his other arm and fired once. The bullet hit Tutt in the chest from 75 yards away. Tutt ran a few steps toward the courthouse, said something nobody could make out, and fell dead in the street.

Hickok was arrested and tried for manslaughter. The jury found him not guilty in a matter of minutes.

This is about as close as the real West ever got to the movie shootout. Two men, face to face, drawing in a public square. It almost never actually happened that way. Most gunfights were drunken, panicky, close range, and messy. The Hickok and Tutt fight is one of the only ones that looks like what Hollywood would later sell.

Two years later, a writer for Harper's magazine interviewed Hickok and turned the duel into national legend. The article claimed Hickok had personally killed hundreds of men. That was nonsense, and Hickok probably helped inflate it, but it didn't matter. Wild Bill became the most famous gunfighter in America.

He spent the next decade as a lawman, a scout, a gambler, and even a stage performer with Buffalo Bill Cody's show.

In August 1876, he was playing poker in a saloon in Deadwood, in Dakota Territory. For once, he was sitting with his back to the door. A drifter named Jack McCall walked up behind him and shot him in the back of the head.

The cards Hickok was holding were two black aces and two black eights. People have called it the dead man's hand ever since.

In life, I struggle, I suffer, I’m tempted, I’m tested, sometimes I feel so weak. But when I am weak, I am strong. Because Christ, He is my hope, He is my strength, He is a firm foundation that never fails. Jesus is worthy of it all. May He be glorified always, not just on the mountain tops, but even in the valleys.

“Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.”

The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races.
Last month, my friend attended a training. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who each explained their beliefs.
She was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was her turn, she directed her question to the Muslim and asked:
'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by unaliving an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, " Nonbelievers"
She responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to unalive everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
She then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The Pope commanding all Catholics to unalive those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'
The Muslim was speechless.
She continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to unalive me! Let me ask you a question:
Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to unalive me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the US. to elect the President.
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.

🚨 WOW. The father of fallen 9/11 hero Todd Beamer — the "LET'S ROLL" patriot who stormed the terrorists on Flight 93 — just WALKED OUT ON STAGE after President Trump exposed Abdul El Sayed's ties to Hasan Piker

DAVID BEAMER: "The enemy is RIGHT HERE AMONG US. Local terrorists...They call themselves Democratic Socialists of America." 🎯

"Todd and others didn't come home — but they won the counterattack...9/11 was a surprise. What's going on in Michigan IS NOT A SURPRISE. WE CAN SEE THE ATTACK COMING. IT CULIMATES ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD."

"They want to tear down this America that is ours...have you read their platform? It reads like the terrorist platform of 9/11 on STEROIDS."

Todd Beamer, a Flint, Michigan man, led his fellow passengers against the Islamist hijackers on 9/11, saving the U.S. Capitol at the cost of his own life 🙏🏻

This is an UNFORGETTABLE moment.
