Witnessing this as I left the Trump victory party moved me to tears. These people have been slandered and demeaned. They are good people. Patriots of all backgrounds who love this country and came together to make it great again. 🇺🇸
Drag queens mock Christianity during the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics in Paris as they attempt to recreate da Vinci’s painting of Jesus’ Last Supper.
Not only are Christians the only people that it is socially acceptable to mock… it’s actually celebrated and put front and center when it happens.
Remember the words of Jesus: “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you (John 15:18).”
There will be a day that mocking turns into fear of the One true God. Hopefully, it happens before it’s too late.

When the question of identity is answered at the core of our spirit, we find an anchor of solid footing that keeps us secure, no matter the circumstances.
They do not reach the spiritual aspect of our existence— where the question of identity must be answered.
Identifying with something and finding identity in something are two separate ideas
Identifying with any one of these categories is not where the trouble lies.
The trouble comes when we allow these things to tell us who we are because these categories are all surface level, relating to the temporary physical aspect of ourselves.
The trouble with identity is that there are any number of things to which we attach our sense of who we are:
Relationships
Occupation
Politics
Religion
Body shape
Skin color
Socioeconomic status
Identity that strange and elusive concept that determines who or what a person is…
We are beings who, by default, grasp for orientation in this life.
That’s what identity brings us.
“Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
