THE CROSS WAS NEVER A COMFORT SYMBOL. IT WAS AN INSTRUMENT OF EXECUTION.
Jesus said in Luke 9:23, “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”
That destroys the idea of a painless Christianity.
Following Christ will cost your pride, your excuses, your favorite sins, and sometimes the approval of people you love.
The gospel does not exist to make your old life more comfortable. It calls you to die to it.
Do not ask whether obedience is convenient.
Ask whether Christ is worthy.
Real discipleship begins where self-rule ends.

Please watch my interview with Mr and Mrs Wade of Cheatham County,TN. The TVA is brutalizing the residents of this county, and only @realDonaldTrump can stop them, as TVA has NO oversight. I'm also asking @LeeMZeldin with the EPA to hit the brakes on this! PLS REPOST🙏 @TVAnews
🚨🚨 Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett says she doesn't have to explain why her family has been cashing their dead grandmother's Social Security checks since 2004.
"Our family business is our family business."
Thoughts?
This lady KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK🫨! She is NOW A WINNER DING DING DING😲! Something tells me with paper ballots, one day voting and proof of citizenship, THE DEMONRATS ARE TOTALLY SCREWED👊! Oh and NOBODY IN THERE RIGHT MIND WANTS A GUY COMPETING WITH WOMEN unless you’re 🤪
Something to ponder:
Because of this DOGE thing here’s a
History Lesson on Your Social Security Card
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (and some older ones) didn't know this.
It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it.
Be sure and show it to your family
and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter
whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts.
Social Security
Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and
Card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the
United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the
message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION was removed.
An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION"message.
Our Social Security
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
1) That participation in the Program would be
completely voluntary,
No longer Voluntary
2) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
incomes into the Program,
Now 7.65%
On the first $90,000.
3) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,
No longer tax deductible
4) That the money the participants put in went to the
Independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the
General Operating Fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,
Under Johnson the money was moved to
The General Fund and spent.
5) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed
as income.
Under Clinton & Gore
up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed.
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month --
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put
away -- you may be interested in the following:
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
Independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the
General Fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratically
controlled House and Senate.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -----
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party with Al Gore casting the
'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -
Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?
(AND MY FAVORITE):
A: That's right!
Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
even though they never paid a dime into it!
------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- ---------
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans
want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve.
But it's worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers
Let Me Be Perfectly Clear
If Wisconsin doesn’t elect conservative Brad Schimel on April 1st, the liberal Court will redraw congressional maps.
Republicans will lose at least 2 House seats going into 2026.
If you care, get everyone you know out to vote.
You have 6 days.
HR 2 has been sitting on Chuck Schumer's desk for 524 days.
HR 2 is the ONLY border bill that passed.
The Senate bill NEVER passed.
Border Czar Kamala & President Biden broke our border ON PURPOSE with 94 direct actions.
No amount of Kamala gaslighting can change these facts.
INSANE: Professor at @UnivOfKansas says that men who don't vote for Kamala should be lined up and shot.
He then asks that line to be cut from the recording so the dean doesn't find out.
Any comment @UnivOfKansas?
