@remarks He does not live in this district. I do and have voted for Massie every time he's run. However, this time, he no longer represents our district.@EdGallrein does.
@jenniferwilkin We were thinking today of a a book for the next study and almost settled on one of the shorter New Testament books. Instead we chose Malachi. So your post was prophetic!
This is your a reminder that Thomas Massie is backed by Code Pink, the same group that funds No Kings protests, is backed by the CCP & ambushed President Trump at a DC restaurant calling him the "Hitler of our time."
Thomas Massie is bankrolled by Communists. His hatred for tariffs makes a lot more sense now!
I’ve spent my life serving Kentucky and serving America. I’m ready to answer the call again, stand with President Trump, and help deliver the America First results Kentucky families deserve.
Fear and anxiety are being pumped relentlessly into our minds and hearts.
The devil creates chaos, stirring up turmoil.
You don’t have to stay there.
Let Christ guide you back.
He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.
- 2 Timothy 1:7
My fellow Kentuckian, this photo represents the values that shaped my life. That’s my grandfather, Edward G. Gallrein Sr., a Louisville motorcycle policeman during Prohibition—keeping law and order and selflessly serving his community, and raising his family with faith and hard work. Standing beside him in that picture taken on our family farm in Valley Station, Kentucky, on the River Bottoms is my Dad, Ed “Sonny” Gallrein Jr., around 1932.
I carried those same values into my own service to our Nation. I served you for a career that spanned three decades on active duty as a Navy SEAL Officer and Army Ranger, defending our Nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I swore an oath to the Constitution and the Lord, and I stand shoulder to shoulder with the law-enforcement officers who selflessly serve to keep our communities safe.
That’s why I back the blue without hesitation. And that’s why I stand firmly against those who undermine law enforcement and obstruct the rule of law, as we have a front row seat to what the Democrats, AOC, and the squad and their supporters, like Thomas Massie, are doing to our great nation right before our eyes. Thomas Massie has chosen to stand with Democrats, AOC, and the Squad against the President’s America First agenda—an agenda Kentuckians overwhelmingly supported to protect our families and keep our communities safe from criminal activity.
I’m running for Congress to defend Kentucky values, support law enforcement, restore law and order, uphold the Constitution, and deliver the strong, principled leadership our Commonwealth deserves. I commit to faithfully serving you as I have from the farm Fields in Kentucky to the battlefields all over the world and back.
When anxieties surge, remember God's immutable character. His promises stand firm. Trust the Lord; He is faithful to His covenant. Rest in the finished work of Christ; your peace is secure. (Heb. 10:23)
Okay... I'm going to sound like real-life @ChrchCurmudgeon here, but here goes...
If you are a church musician, and you honestly want to "lead people in worship" through music, you may want to do the following:
1) Pick a singable key for the median person who doesn't sing all the time. Don't pick a key to highlight your voice.
2) Lower the volume so people can hear the voices of those around them, and themselves.
3) Let people sing the melodies that are familiar to them. While you may want to jazz up or do the latest CCM twist of "Hark the Herald" or "Silent Night"--people can't follow you. They just want to sing the song.
Picking keys to highlight your voice; playing at concert volume; doing creative rearrangements to make the familiar suddenly unfamiliar... all discourage us from singing.
There's NOTHING wrong with highlighting your voice, or playing at concert volume, or doing creative rearrangements of songs... if you are a performer.
Book a gig somewhere! Play out! Be great! Build a following! But please, when we all get together and sing, don't put up barriers to stop us.
This is testimony from Dr. Neil Frank at a Billy Graham event in the 1980s.
He's actually Forrest Frank's grandfather. He plays this before every one of his shows.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. This is EXACTLY what happened to me. Lift the veil 👇
The best pastors we have are unknown. Right now there’s some unknown faithful preacher, who could preach with more thunder than 95% of us on YouTube, leading a faithful people thru the text in a godless Dublin. Same goes for all over the world. Do not confuse notoriety with godliness.
