This needs to be said.
Your “thoughts and prayers” are nice and we appreciate them but they’re not enough. I’m sorry if that offends you but along with your thoughts and prayers, you should be publicly denouncing Palestinian terror and proclaiming your unwavering support for Israel.
Otherwise you’re just saying empty words.
Here. I’ll give you the text for you to copy paste.
“What Israel experienced on October 7th will go down in history as the worst attack on Jews since the holocaust and it needs to be condemned in the clearest most unequivocal terms.
Hamas doesn’t want what’s best for their people. Hamas wants one thing; Dead Jews, and I won’t tolerate it.
I am calling on my government and all government with a conscience to support Israel in every possible way and to pull all support, financial or other, from the Palestinians, being as we know Hamas steals it all.
Additionally, Israel has every right to defend itself from this ongoing attack and to prevent future attacks by Hamas. A total elimination of Hamas should be Israel’s mission and we will stand by them as they accomplish it.
I stand with Israel, now and forever.”
There. Was that so difficult?
Prayer alert: Please pray for me, our Kenyan overseer Pastor Daniel, and the family of a slain pastor. One of our "bush pastors" in the Lake Victoria region of Kenya was beaten to death last night. No further details. Wife, now widow. Children, now orphaned.
Jesus summed up commonsense carefulness in the life of a disciple as unbelief. ...It is not only wrong to worry, it is unbelief; worrying means we do not believe that God can look after the practical details of our lives, and it never anything but those details that worry us.
In the early days of ministry my goal was to “do great exploits FOR God”. Now, my goal is a life of obedience TO God, so I can join Him in His work, leaving the results to Him. Not me..but, Thee.
Those who have no master are slaves to themselves. Depend upon it, you will either serve Satan or Christ, either self or the Savior. You will find sin, self, Satan, and the world to be hard masters...--Spurgeon
Be relentless and hard on yourself if you are in the habit of talking about the experiences you have had. Faith based on experience is not faith; faith based on God's revealed truth is the only faith there is.--Oswald Chambers
In 1995 Raphael Warnock was one of the pastors at a church in New York that hosted Fidel Castro for a speech where he attacked America & ended by singing the socialist hymn Internationale
25 years later Warnock wants to be a U.S. Senator from #Georgia
“If we walk in the light...the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves.” 1 John 1:7–8
So, walking in the light does not mean sinlessness.
But if the blood does not conquer the power of sin, it does not cover the guilt of sin.
