@TheFive 3. And best of all, there are plenty of socialist countries in the world. What's stopping you from moving to one of them? Here's an idea. The federal government will give you $5k and a free plane ticket to any of these socialist utopias. Nice knowin' ya!

[Jeff @jpdl1919]

@TheFive Three things for these insane democratic socialists.

[Jeff @jpdl1919]

@TheFive 2. You berate millionaires and billionaires as being "the investor class". You absolute fools! Every working American with a 401k and those with IRAs are "the investor class"!

[Jeff @jpdl1919]

@TheFive 1. YOU can pay more taxes. Have you ever written a check to Uncle Sam?

[Jeff @jpdl1919]

@NancyMace YES

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

When Jesus came into this world as a baby, Herod used the power of government to slaughter innocent children in an attempt to destroy Him.

Different ruler. Different century. Same enemy.

But Satan failed then, and he will fail again.

Because Jesus Christ isn’t returning to Bethlehem as a helpless baby. He’s returning in glory as the conquering KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS.

Every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess.

Jesus wins.

Amen.

A new study says we need to halve the world’s population!

How do we think about this biblically?

God formed earth for mankind.

“For thus says Yahweh, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it; He established it and did not create it a formless place, but formed it to be inhabited),

    ““I am Yahweh, and there is none else’” (Isaiah 45:18).

“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, so that they will have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth’” (Genesis 1:26).

The modern environmental movement is about more than just protecting earth’s creatures and resources (something we must do as good stewards of God’s creation)—it’s an inversion of God’s design. This movement puts the creation in dominion over man—the opposite of what God instructed. God formed earth for mankind, to use, to tend and keep, to exercise dominion over, to enjoy, and to glorify God with.

“The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh,
But the earth He has given to the sons of men” (Psalm 115:16).

But today’s environmentalism says humans are a blight, a disease, on this planet and we need to start removing ourselves for the betterment of everything else. Consider this quote from that new study that claims we need to halve the world population, taking it from 8 billion to less than 4 billion, by 2200:

“The authors argued that data shows population growth leads to a decline in wildlife abundance, an increase in CO2 emissions, an increase in energy consumption, a greater ecological footprint, greater freshwater use, mineral extraction, plastics production, and pesticide use.

“‘Global environmental problems are caused by people, nothing else. The more of us there are, the greater our overall economic demands and the greater the associated environmental problems,’ the authors asserted.

“They draw the conclusion, therefore, that ‘in the long run, population growth itself is unsustainable.’”

According to these researchers, humans are the ultimate problem and the only sustainable solution is for us to get ourselves out of the way by continuing to decrease the global fertility rate (which is only at 2.2, barely above replacement level) through providing more “reproductive health services” (by that they surely mean abortion [murdering children in the womb] and birth control) and “improving girls’ educational opportunities, especially in poorer countries.”

This kind of thinking regarding humanity has been around for a very long time, but it’s important to note that none, none, of the dire predictions of these alarmists have come true in decades past. And that’s partly because these researchers view mankind as primarily consumers, not as producers.

Part of having dominion over this planet is that we don’t just endlessly consume—we “tame” the world for our good and God’s glory. In other words, we put ourselves to work on how to solve problems . . . and history shows humans are good at coming up with solutions! As the population grows and new problems arise, humans have invented new technologies to cope with the problems or to solve them. People are doing that right now!

Here are some examples one of our staff members shared with me:

•Plastic pollution is a massive problem around the world, and there are companies working to produce a plastic replacement using renewable algae or mycelium (fungal networks). Others are working to use fungi to break down certain types of plastic.

•Researchers are using AI to monitor bird activity around wind turbines and then adjusting turbine activity to prevent collisions and protect birds, especially raptors.

•And one farmer in the Netherlands—a nation that has always struggled with not having enough land—has created a cow farm that floats on a harbor and is a “closed loop” system (zero waste).

Yes, humanity is very good at using our God-given intellect and creativity to solve the problems facing our world, and we will continue to do so. The great threat to humanity is not that there will be too many people. The problem is the looming population collapse! As fertility rates continue to plummet around the world, the population ages, the workforce shrinks, and the economy suffers or even collapses. A LifeSite News article on this new study put it this way, with a quote from other researchers on this coming collapse:

“‘Even if below-replacement fertility is sustained only for a few centuries, the size of the global population could become very small.’ . . . This means that a whole slew of harmful effects to society will follow population decline, likely including a decline in basic services and infrastructure; unemployment; a decline in innovation; insufficient end-of-life care for the elderly; and a decline in mental health.

“Even the World Economic Forum (WEF) has admitted that the effects of population collapse will be ‘severe.’”

As mankind increasingly ignores God’s command (which He has never revoked) to “be fruitful and multiply,” a command which came in tandem with his command to have dominion, humanity will suffer. God’s instructions to the first human couple were to both have children and take dominion. As a whole, humanity can’t ignore either part of God’s design for us without serious consequences.

But environmentalists don’t just get their view of mankind wrong, they also have a wrong view of God. Many of them are either atheists, who do not believe God exists, or pantheists, who think that God is in everything or that God is nature (or “Mother Nature”). The result is that they worship the creature, rather than the Creator, and are reduced to foolishness (just read Romans 1).

The biblical God—the only true God—is a generous God who specifically designed earth to be inhabited by humans. Yes, it’s a fallen creation; it’s groaning; it’s filled with “thorns and thistles.” Having dominion is hard work now, but God has still provided generously for our needs through His creation.

Wise stewardship, creativity, and thankfulness to God are what are needed to solve our environmental crises, not a severe reduction in the population of those who bear that Creator’s image!

[Adam | Faithful Messenger @Adam_FaithfulM]

Jesus performed roughly three dozen recorded miracles. Only one of them appears in all four Gospels. Not the raising of Lazarus. Not walking on water. Not even the healing of the blind. The one miracle that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all insisted on telling is the feeding of the five thousand. When four independent accounts of Jesus' life, written for different audiences with different emphases, all refuse to leave out the same event, it is worth asking why.

Start with the setting. Jesus has just received devastating news: John the Baptist, His cousin and forerunner, has been beheaded by Herod. He withdraws by boat to a remote place, seeking solitude to grieve. But the crowds see where He is going and run ahead on foot around the shore of the Sea of Galilee. When Jesus lands, expecting emptiness, He finds thousands waiting. And the Gospel says He looked at them and was moved with compassion, for they were like sheep without a shepherd. He does not send them away. He heals their sick and teaches them until the day is nearly gone.

Then the practical crisis arrives. The disciples come to Him with the obvious solution: send the people away to buy food in the villages. It is late, the place is remote, and the crowd is enormous. Matthew records five thousand men, besides women and children, meaning the real number may have been ten to fifteen thousand people. Jesus' answer is one of the most quietly staggering sentences in the Gospels: "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."

John's account adds a detail the others leave out. Jesus turns to Philip and asks where bread could be bought for so many, and John notes that He said this to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do. Philip does the math and despairs: two hundred denarii, roughly eight months of a laborer's wages, would not buy even a mouthful for each person. The need is beyond any reasonable resource. That is precisely the point of the test, and Philip, like most of us, sees only the arithmetic.

Then Andrew brings forward the most unimpressive offering in Scripture: a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. Barley was the grain of the poor, the cheap bread, and the fish were likely small dried or pickled fish, a peasant's lunch. Andrew himself seems embarrassed by it: "but what are they for so many?" Everything about the offering is insufficient. A child. Poor man's bread. A portion for one. Set against fifteen thousand hungry people, it is almost a joke.

And this is what Jesus takes. He does not conjure food from nothing, though He could have. He takes what is offered, blesses it, breaks it, and begins to give. The verbs matter: He took, He blessed, He broke, He gave. These are the exact four verbs the Gospels will use again at the Last Supper, when He takes bread, blesses it, breaks it, and gives it, saying, "This is my body." The feeding on the hillside is a deliberate foreshadowing of the cross, written in the grammar of the text itself.

The people eat. All of them. The Gospels say they were satisfied, the Greek word implying they were filled completely, not given a polite taste. And then comes the detail all four writers preserve: twelve baskets of broken pieces left over. Twelve, one for each tribe of Israel, one for each disciple who had doubted. The God who fed Israel with manna in the wilderness is feeding a new multitude in a desolate place, and the abundance is so great that the leftovers exceed the original supply many times over. With Jesus, the surplus after the miracle is greater than the total before it.

The crowd understands exactly what they have witnessed. John records that the people begin saying, "This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world," a reference to Moses' promise in Deuteronomy that God would raise up a prophet like him. Moses gave manna in the wilderness; here is One doing the same. They are so certain that they move to take Him by force and make Him king. And Jesus, refusing the crown offered on their terms, withdraws alone to the mountain. He will be made King, but by way of a cross, not a coronation.

The story has a sobering final act that most retellings skip. The next day, in the synagogue at Capernaum, Jesus confronts the same crowd that chased Him around the lake: "You are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves." Then He preaches the sermon the miracle was pointing to all along: "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger." The teaching is so hard, so demanding, that John records the outcome bluntly: from that time many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. The crowd that wanted a bread king by the thousands dwindled to twelve men, and Jesus asks even them, "Do you want to go away as well?" Peter's answer still stands as the confession of every believer since: "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."

To the world, this is a charming story about sharing, and some modern skeptics have even tried to reduce it to exactly that, a crowd inspired to open their picnic baskets. But that is not what any of the four accounts describe, and it is not why thousands tried to seize Him and crown Him by force. Something happened on that hillside that fifteen thousand eyewitnesses could not explain away. Bread multiplied in His hands.

Here is what it means for you. The need in front of you may be beyond any reasonable resource. The math may be hopeless, as it was for Philip. And what you have to offer may look like five barley loaves, small, poor, laughably insufficient. Bring it anyway. The miracle never depended on the size of the offering, only on the hands it was placed into. He took the lunch of a child and fed a city with it, and there were twelve baskets left over.

He is not a Savior of scarcity. He fills until they are satisfied, and then keeps going.

Jesus is the Bread of Life, broken so that you would never go hungry. Thank You, Jesus.
