Trump + YMCA + swords = priceless

[Jeremiah Knight @iamrjknight]

We keep asking created things to do what only the Creator can do. Marriage, children, money, success, comfort, beauty, pleasure, travel, possessions, health, recognition, even retirement can all be good gifts from God. But the moment we ask any of them to become the reason our soul is at rest, we have placed a weight on them they were never created to carry.

This is why satisfaction keeps moving just beyond our reach. We tell ourselves that peace will come when we finally have the relationship, the house, the body, the income, the opportunity, or the life we have imagined. Then we receive some of those things and discover that the heart is still hungry. Solomon had wealth, pleasure, houses, possessions, entertainment, and everything his eyes desired, yet his verdict was still, “Vanity and striving after wind” (Ecclesiastes 2:10–11).

The problem is not that God’s gifts are worthless. The problem is that we turn gifts into gods. Jeremiah describes the tragedy perfectly: “My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, to hew for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water” (Jeremiah 2:13). Sin keeps promising that one more created thing will finally quiet the thirst, but broken cisterns never become fountains.

Jesus does not merely offer us another religious experience to add to everything else. He says, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst” (John 6:35). Christ is not the final item on a list of things that might make life complete. He is the treasure for whom the human heart was made.

This is why the Christian can enjoy God’s gifts without demanding that they save him. We can love a spouse without making marriage our identity. We can love our children without making them our reason for living. We can receive money without worshiping security, enjoy food without becoming its slave, and experience pleasure without expecting it to heal the soul. Every good gift is safest when it leads us back to the Giver.

Asaph finally reached the place every restless heart must reach: “Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever” (Psalm 73:25–26). The deepest problem in us is not that we have not yet found the right earthly thing. It is that we keep expecting something created to satisfy a soul that was made for God.

How do you FORCE the EU and NATO to stop funding Zelensky and the war in Ukraine?

How do you FORCE the grifter Zelensky to come to the peace table?

Make the EU and NATO choose between funding the Ukraine war, or once again, purchasing oil from Russia.

Step way back.

Look at the bigger picture.

The EU and NATO, have been doing everything they can to extend the Ukraine war and push the fear that Russia is a real threat.

Trump pointed out their “hypocrisy” from the beginning.

Do you remember?

Trump pointed out that these EU and NATO countries constantly demonize Russia as a mortal enemy, while at the same time buying oil from them for the EU economy.
The EU was completely dependent on Russian oil and Trump pointed out their “hypocrisy.”

Then what did Trump do?

He put the financial squeeze on them by FORCING them to increase their own defense spending, instead of the U.S. subsidizing the entire EU national defense.
They capitulated.
More money on defense, less for energy.
Then Ukraine blew up the Russian pipeline that supplied Europe. Didn’t matter. The EU kept supporting Zelensky and demonizing Russia.

The EU shifted and began getting a lot of their oil from the Middle East after their hypocrisy was exposed.
But look what just happened, as “winter” approaches.

“Saudi Arabia has informed at least two oil refining customers in Europe that they will not receive crude oil allocations in October, as the war in the Middle East hits global energy markets. 
European refineries buy Saudi Arabian crude under term contracts meant to ensure a standard monthly supply, but energy companies can cancel those shipments under extraordinary circumstances, known as force majeure.
Earlier this month, Qatar extended its force majeure for liquefied natural gas shipments to early November because of the maritime blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.”

“force majeure.”

Saudi Arabia announced that they are stopping shipments to the EU because of the war with Yemen.

But did you catch the other important data point?

Qatar has also stopped its natural gas shipments to Europe.

Coincidence?

Can you see who is getting financially squeezed?

Winter is approaching and the people of Europe have a history of dealing very harshly with “elitist rulers” who live a life of luxury while the people suffer.

We are ALREADY seeing the people in Europe rising up in anger over immigration. Wait till they don’t have heat and energy in winter time.

Can you see who is going to have to come to Trump, begging for oil and natural gas this “winter?”

Guess what one of the first things Trump will demand from the EU and NATO?

The END to funding Zelensky’s European grift WAR.

It’s coming.

All coordinated and planned.

The CENTER of the financial world, used to be located in Europe and has been for many generations.

Guess where the center of the financial world is located now?

Mar A Lago.

And the elites in Europe are going to be kissing Trump’s ring soon.

@SaveukChurches By comparison, It costs a mere 20 quid to visit the Alhambra in Granada (only 13 if u dont visit the Nasrid palaces). And that's a full day of a visit if u do it properly and have the energy. And lots of security/supervising, £27 is robbery. Jokers.

@TNTJohn1717 God bless you, Paul! 🙏 God brought me to you so you can help me truly seek Him 🙏 I am so thankful

[Jeremiah Knight @iamrjknight]

Those closest to us see how seriously we take the God we speak about. They hear our prayers, but they also hear how we speak when we are frustrated. They watch whether His commands govern our decisions when obedience becomes costly. Our conduct can give them reason to take our testimony seriously, or reason to question whether we believe it ourselves.

A faithful witness grows out of dependence on Christ. Jesus compares us to branches that receive their life from the vine: “apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). We cannot produce spiritual fruit while neglecting the One who gives it. As we attend to His Word and bring our weakness to Him in prayer, we learn to depend on His strength in the situations where our own character fails us.

Walking closely with God includes submitting to what He says. John connects knowing Him with keeping His commandments and walking as Christ walked (1 John 2:3–6). We cannot claim deep fellowship with God while deliberately protecting disobedience. When Scripture exposes our sin, closeness to Him should make us willing to confess it and change, even when doing so costs us our pride.

The Holy Spirit’s work becomes visible in the way we treat people. Galatians 5:22–23 describes fruit that includes patience, kindness, and self-control. These take practical form when we answer someone gently, keep our word under pressure, or give attention to a person who has nothing to offer us. Such conduct shows something of the goodness of the God whose grace is changing us.

Jesus calls us to live so that others see our good works and glorify our Father (Matthew 5:16). As we tell people about Christ, our lives should bear witness to His transforming mercy. We need daily fellowship with Him because the people we hope to reach will encounter us in ordinary, unguarded moments. May what they see give them reason to honour Him.

What Does It Mean to Live With Eternity in Mind?

Key Passage: Colossians 3:1–4

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”

Living with eternity in mind begins with a fact, not a feeling: the saved believer has been spiritually joined to Jesus Christ. Paul does not tell the Colossians to seek things above so that they might become risen with Christ; he tells them to seek those things because they already are risen with Christ. Their standing has been settled by grace, their life is hidden with Christ in God, and their future appearance in glory is guaranteed. Eternal thinking is therefore not religious daydreaming, mystical fog, or an attempt to earn heaven by behaving more heavenly. It is the practical result of knowing where you stand, whom you belong to, and where you are going. The Christian does not look upward because he is uncertain whether God will receive him. He looks upward because Christ has already received him. A man thinks differently when his destination is settled. Eternity gets into his eyes, and the glitter of this present world begins to look like what it is—cheap paint on a condemned building.

To live with eternity in mind means evaluating the present by the light of what will never pass away. Most people reverse that order. They judge eternity by what they can presently see, hear, touch, count, buy, or post on a glowing screen. If something cannot be weighed in a laboratory, deposited in a bank, or displayed before an audience, they treat it as though it were unreal. The Bible says the precise opposite: “for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18). The visible world is the temporary part. The invisible realities declared by God are the permanent part. Men call themselves practical while building their whole lives upon things guaranteed to disappear. That is like arranging the furniture in a house already marked for demolition and congratulating yourself on your long-range planning. Biblical wisdom looks beyond the scaffolding of time and makes its decisions in view of the finished building of eternity.

This does not mean that a Christian neglects his family, abandons honest work, refuses to plan, or sits on a hillside staring at the clouds. Eternity-minded believers should be the most dependable people on earth because they know their earthly conduct will be reviewed by the Lord in heaven. Eternity does not make present duties unimportant; it reveals why those duties matter. A meal prepared in faithfulness, a child taught the Scriptures, a temptation refused in secret, a gospel tract handed to a stranger, and a prayer offered when nobody applauds may carry consequences beyond the grave. The world measures life by size, visibility, money, and noise. God measures faithfulness. Heaven’s scales are not calibrated by social media, church celebrity, or the applause of religious spectators. Living with eternity in mind means performing today’s duty beneath the eye of the coming Judge, knowing that the smallest act done for Christ is larger than the biggest earthly achievement done without Him.

[Adam | Faithful Messenger @Adam_FaithfulM]

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits." (Psalm 103:2)

David is talking to himself. Look at the grammar: he's addressing his own soul, giving it instructions.

And the instruction is about memory. Forget not.

That's the diagnosis underneath most ingratitude. It isn't usually that nothing good has happened. It's that we have a remarkable capacity to stop noticing what has.

He then lists the benefits one by one: forgiveness, healing, redemption, steadfast love, as though he's reading them back to himself.

Gratitude in the Psalms is less a feeling than a discipline of not forgetting.

I'm going through old footage of 9/11, and this one really shows what it was like for people who weren't even in the immediate vicinity of the towers. Absolutely insane

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Listening to these civil servants in Parliament, what strikes me most is the utter disconnect from what millions of people are going through in the private sector.

It is a completely different world.

For millions of workers and small business owners, there is no guaranteed pay rise. No automatic progression. No cosy pension. No comfortable assumption that your job will still exist next year.

If the company you work for runs out of money, that's it. It’s over.

Done.

If your small business cannot pay its bills, that's it.

If customers disappear, costs rise, or things go south? There are consequences. People lose their jobs. Salaries are cut.

Businesses go bust. It’s tough. Always is. I have been there and done that.

Every month, businesses have to find the money for wages, rent, energy, tax.

A plumber has to find customers. A farmer has to make the numbers work. A factory has to remain competitive. A pub has to somehow survive another year of rising costs.

An entrepreneur can work every hour of the day and still end up with nothing. There is no rest, it goes on and on and on. Sunday mornings, and every other hour of the week.

That’s the reality. It’s one I’ve lived in for decades, along with millions of others.

Then you listen to the state bureaucracy and it sounds as though none of this exists.

Four day weeks. No accountability. Phone off at the weekend. Impossible to get sacked.

The bureaucrats chuck these numbers around with ZERO appreciation of where it comes from - it is insulting arrogance.

That is OUR money.

Every pound government spends first has to come from somewhere. Ultimately, it comes from the productive economy, productive Britain. From the people working, trading, investing and taking risks. They are the ones who have my respect.

There are good people in the civil service. But the system is just so broken.

Government, and the people working within it, has become too insulated from the economic reality experienced by the people who actually have to fund it.

A Restore Britain Government will expect the state to understand something that every small-business owner already knows through brutal first-hand experience.

Money is finite, performance matters and failure MUST have consequences.

Departments should have clear objectives. Lines of accountability. Not endless silos where nobody takes responsibility. Senior officials should be accountable for delivering them. Poor performance should not disappear into yet another bullshit review.

They should be sacked. In fact, for the very worst offenders the punishment should be more severe and we will aim to pursue prosecutions where the loss of taxpayer money has been so vast.

And we should bring FAR more private-sector experience into government.

I want people who have built businesses, worked on building sites, run farms and actually had to deliver results directly involved in reshaping and restoring the British state.

On one side are millions of people being told to work harder, pay more tax, accept worse services and lower their expectations - all to fund a life of luxury for the endless conveyor belt of freeloading Somalis and Afghans.

On the other is a state that permanently demands more of OUR money while accepting remarkably little responsibility for its own failures.

The system is bent, broken and corrupt.

The state is funded by the people. It works for the people. And under Restore Britain, it will finally be expected to deliver for the people.

[Redpill Drifter @RedpillDrifter]

Little known fact

Donald Trump called into a news station on 9/11 and said it wasn't a plane that took down the towers. The fake news had a meltdown over it in 2001. He always knew.

This was well before many of you were even awake.

[Larry Alex Taunton @LarryTaunton]

I worked at Ground Zero: 🧵

This whole section of Manhattan was closed for blocks and you could only get down there with proper credentials. So, the people you met were all working there.

I will never forget the stench and the sheer scale of the disaster site. Seventeen acres, as I recall. But there prevailed among all the FDNY, NYPD, secret service, PANY, and volunteers an incredible sense of unity unlike anything I have experienced since. People from all walks of life were unified in their rage, compassion, desire to do something, and their love of country.

One of my most enduring memories is the fact that people were asking questions about the nature of evil, eternal justice, Hell, Islam, and God. You worked all day, and a restaurant, closed to the public, was set aside just for all of us. After an initial convo with a guy over a rapidly served dinner, he told other officers about me and, next thing I knew, he appeared and asked if he could sit down and talk with me — and then another, and so on.

These were incredible, meaningful discussions. They weren’t debates. Being in the rumble of Ground Zero, finding bodies, losing friends, and the aforementioned stench, made people working there reflect on life’s Big Questions deeply. No one was interested in trivialities. Here’s a sample:

• “I’m told you’re a guy who knows the Bible. Tell me, is there a Hell? I want there to be a Hell because I want the comfort of knowing these people are suffering there.”

• “Why does God allow suffering?”

• “I think I always kind of accepted the idea that man is basically good. I don’t believe that anymore.”

• “Is there really a God who will one day judge this? I want justice for these victims.”

• “What the f—k is Islam really about?”

New Yorkers were moved by the outpouring of assistance from all over the country. One said to me: “I ain’t never been to no f—king Alabama before. But I f—king love people from Alabama now!”

Another powerful memory for me is getting an invitation to visit the firemen at Engine/Ladder 10. Their station sat at the base of the towers. They lost men on September 11th. So, I took their invitation seriously. They were somber, but kind and gentle. They took me onto the roof to give me the birds-eye view. We all wept. You simply couldn’t do otherwise.

I’ll never forget that experience. To this day an NYPD hat hangs proudly on my wall. The authentic ones were, at the time, highly sought after, and an officer presented it to me in a tender, emotional moment when I told him my time there was at an end and I had to go back home.

Now, however, that unity has dissolved under the carefully orchestrated acids of Leftist cynicism — just like the unity after the Charlie Kirk Memorial Service.

Today I gave a keynote address on the subject of September 11th and Islam. (It will appear as a podcast here and on my YT channel on Tuesday morning.) My objective: to give a firsthand, bare-knuckled account of Islam. You see, for Muslims the Crusades never ended, and every terrorist attack from September 11th to the systematic r8p3 of 250k British (white) girls is all perfectly consistent with orthodox Islamic teaching.

To defeat it, we must:

• Raise the bar on what constitutes courage. I am sick and tired of hearing about how some podcaster is courageous for speaking out against Islam as they sit in the comfort of their studio. That’s a low bar. That’s the least anyone can do. Risk your job and I’ll be (sort of) impressed. I’ll be really impressed if you risk your life. Our forebears defeated Islam because they were willing die in stopping its westward advance. Muslims are willing to die for their fake god. Are you willing to die for your real One? Read about the Siege of Malta in 1565 to get a baseline.

• We need clever lawyers to make a legal case for denying Islam the respectability of a religion.

• We need a third Great Awakening. Secularism is no match for Islam.

• Educate yourself.

May God bless America!

🚨‼️Biblical femininity is not weakness, helplessness, vanity, or decorating rebellion with softer colors. Proverbs 31 says of the virtuous woman, “Strength and honour are her clothing” (Proverbs 31:25). That is Bible femininity: strength without hardness, grace without gullibility, tenderness without foolishness, and conviction without needing to imitate a man. The world keeps telling women they become powerful by becoming more masculine, but Scripture never apologizes for womanhood. A godly woman does not become strong by rejecting femininity; she becomes strong by bringing it under God.

Biblical femininity is rooted in wisdom, purity, diligence, and character. “She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness” (Proverbs 31:26). Notice that combination, wisdom and kindness. Not weakness and silence, not noise and domination. A feminine woman can speak clearly, think deeply, work hard, manage well, correct wisely, and still carry herself with grace. The Bible does not reduce womanhood to appearance; in fact, it warns against beauty without discretion. A pretty face may turn heads, but a wise spirit builds a house.

Femininity also has enormous influence. Eve influenced Adam toward ruin; Abigail influenced David away from bloodshed; Esther used courage and wisdom before a king; Ruth showed loyalty, humility, and strength through hardship; Priscilla helped instruct Apollos more perfectly in the way of God. A woman’s influence is not small because it is often exercised differently. Titus 2 places older women in the serious work of teaching younger women how to love their husbands, love their children, keep the home, and live holy lives. God never treated feminine influence as secondary; entire generations can rise or rot under it.

And biblical femininity finds its highest beauty in fearing the Lord. “Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised” (Proverbs 31:30). Beauty fades, fashion changes, applause moves on, and youth does not sign lifetime contracts. But a woman whose heart is anchored in God becomes more valuable with time, not less. She is not defined by a mirror, a career title, social approval, or comparison with other women. Biblical femininity is strength with grace, wisdom with kindness, purity with courage, and a life ordered under the fear of God.

Even after 25 years, my jaw still drops every time I see this clip.

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

Josephine Harris was 59, a Port Authority bookkeeper with a bad leg, walking down from the 73rd floor of the North Tower on September 11.

By the time the firefighters of Ladder

Company 6 found her in the stairwell, she was exhausted and crying.

They had just been ordered out.

The other tower was already gone.

They did not leave her.

Firefighter Bill Butler put her arm over his shoulder.

“Josephine,” he said, “we’re going to get you out of here today.”

Their pace became hers.

Lower down she collapsed and told them to go on without her.

They refused.

Then the North Tower fell.

Stairwell B held.

The building peeled away around them.

Fourteen people survived in that pocket: firefighters, a Port Authority officer, and Josephine.

People who had passed them on the stairs did not.

The men of Ladder 6 called her their guardian angel.

They believed she slowed them just enough.

Without her they would have been lower when it came down.

Without them, she would not have made it out.

When she died years later, those firefighters carried her coffin.

One of them named a daughter after her.

She was not trying to save anyone.

She was a tired woman who could not walk any faster.

That was enough.
