🚨 BREAKING: The Trump administration is officially DEFUNDING TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars from Los Angeles Democrats' HOMELESS program after rampant fraud, abuse and waste

LONG OVERDUE! The fraud is crashing down! 🔥

"They just were informed within the last hour that they are losing these tens of millions of dollars. They've gotten almost over a billion dollars since 2021 and federal taxpayer funding."

"This is a huge blow to this L.A. homeless authority."

And one more note… This leads me back to your comment saying we have all been both the victim and the perpetrator... that is another example of a small truth that misses the larger point.

I've never shot up the school. I've never robbed a bank. I have been involved in several churches, but I have never used my position to hurt other people on purpose... so am I a sinner? Yes.. but that doesn't mean the people who purposely hurt others and the victims who have been hurt are magically equal.

Larger spiritual truths can certainly be applied across the board equally but when we dismissed personal accountability for our personal actions and personal decisions, especially when those decisions are to hurt other sheep on purpose, I believe we have taken the equal message a step too far.

[Mark Kenney @markkenney888]

Here is an extreme example...

A lunatic breaks in and shoots up a school. A Christian leader gets interviewed about the shooting and they don't address the shooting at all, the family pain, the community suffering ... they ignore all the giant stuff impacting everyone but instead they just say "the Lord loves that shooter".

Yes, it's true, the Lord does love that shooter but when that is all we say, we ignore what is a much deeper and greater wrong in the hearts and minds of everyone else.

[Mark Kenney @markkenney888]

I know, that's why I said you have to be careful about presenting one small piece of truth without including the bigger picture because it's easy for others to assume that you felt it was OK in the eyes of the Lord when we both know it's not... but with you only sharing that small piece of information, it could easily lead people to not take away the entire picture.

[Mark Kenney @markkenney888]

My apologies that my message wasn't more clear... He is equally close to both, but that does not mean he is OK with one sheep hurting another.

Sheep that purposely wound, other sheep are not engaging in behavior that the Lord is OK with. God is able to love the sheep, but take issue with the behavior that the sheep is doing, especially when it involves other sheep that he also loves.

Two simple Truths:

Jesus Christ died for our sins.

America’s fallen died for our freedom.

May we live worthy.

[Mark Kenney @markkenney888]

I can't be the only one that thinks this is at least 100 years too late. It's about time that we started to enforce this.

🚨 ALERT: The Trump-Vance administration has dropped a bombshell on America’s enemies, announced that “No more taxpayer dollars for hostile nations that hate America. If you vote against us at the UN, chant ‘Death to America,’or fund anti-American NGOs, you’re cut off. Period.”

[Mark Kenney @markkenney888]

This is a wonderful piece of a larger truth.

For some there will be suffering and for those the incredible suffering savior is forever a comfort...

But for others, there will be incredible joy and peace and that same suffering savior is no longer suffering, but is now ascended and the source of joy and strength.

We just have to be careful to not assume we are called to suffering because that is only true of one human being whomever was here and that was Jesus.

Isaiah said certainly He has borne (past tense) our sorrows and griefs.

Many of us have endured and will endure suffering for sure but let's not assume that is our ultimate calling. Even if we end up, beaten, jailed and lied about like Paul and Silas, there is still a Joyful voice within raising up a song. 😊

[Mark Kenney @markkenney888]

I am 56 and you are absolutely correct. Something else I will add… even if someone does care about you and they keep it to themselves and never tell you or show you, they don't really care either because true care will never fail to make itself known.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

President Trump: “This is not the first time in the past couple of years that our Republic has been attacked by a would-be assassin who sought to kill… In light of this evening's events, I ask that all Americans recommit with their hearts in resolving our differences peacefully”

Speaking as a Jew: ADL is NOT a Jewish organization. It is an ultra-left activist org that pushes radical transgenderism, border erasure, police dismantlement, and the demolition of free speech—deploying rank slander, bullying and character assassination to achieve its aims.

These views and tactics are expressly contrary to sacred Jewish and biblical teaching.

When justly criticized, ADL and its defenders falsely claim anti-Semitism, thereby diminishing all past and present victims of anti-Semitism.

In fact, conflating criticism of ADL with criticism of Jews is itself an anti-Semitic trope.

Bottom line: ADL is a disreputable organization that has gravely undermined Jewish interests and is worthy of the strongest condemnation.

Many believers today have never heard the words Nicaea, Constantinople, or Chalcedon. They have inherited the faith those councils secured without knowing the fight that secured it. This is not a small loss. When the grammar of the faith is forgotten, the faith itself begins to drift, and what passes for spirituality starts to bear little resemblance to the apostolic witness.

Nicaea, in 325, settled whether Jesus is fully God. Arius had taught that the Son was the highest of creatures, exalted but made. The Church discerned that this could not stand. If the Son is not fully God, then God has not actually come near in Christ, and what we encounter in the gospel is not God reconciling the world to Himself but a creature acting on God’s behalf. The council confessed the Son as one in being with the Father, true God from true God. Without that confession, there is no salvation, because no creature can save.

Constantinople, in 381, secured the same confession for the Holy Spirit. A movement had arisen that wanted to keep the Spirit as a divine influence rather than a divine Person. The Church discerned that this too could not stand. The Spirit who indwells believers, who gives life, who searches the depths of God, must Himself be God, or else what dwells in us is something less than God and our regeneration is something less than divine life. The council confessed the Spirit as Lord and Giver of Life, worshiped and glorified together with the Father and the Son. The Trinitarian grammar that all subsequent Christian worship presupposes was secured here.

Chalcedon, in 451, turned to the question of who Jesus actually is in Himself. Some had so divided the divine and human in Christ that He became almost two persons. Others had so fused them that the human was swallowed up by the divine. The Church discerned a third path. The fathers confessed one Person, the eternal Son, subsisting in two natures, divine and human, united without confusion, without change, without division, without separation. This is the confession that protects the incarnation from collapsing in either direction. Without it, either the Son does not truly become one of us, or we do not truly meet God in the man Jesus.

These three councils are not museum pieces. They are the load-bearing walls of the house we live in. Every time a believer sings to Jesus as Lord, prays in the Spirit, or receives the Eucharist, these confessions are at work beneath the surface. When the Church loses contact with them, what fills the vacuum is not freedom but distortion. The contemporary Christian landscape is littered with the wreckage of movements that thought they could improvise the faith without the apostolic and patristic memory. They could not, and we cannot.

To recover these confessions is not to retreat into the past. It is to stand in the same stream as the apostles and the early Church, breathing the same air, confessing the same Lord. The Spirit who hovered over the deep also hovered over those councils, and what He secured then continues to hold us now.
