If someone read the entire Bible, they would never end up believing:

• That Hell isn't real.
• That good works save us.
• That homosexuality is good.

People believe these things due to culture, man-made religion, and their own sinful hearts, not because it's in the Bible.

Pastor Slams Abortion: “You Can’t Say ‘Black Lives Matter’ When Black Baby Lives Don’t Matter” https://t.co/MXUZHfUkiJ

[Alveda C. King, Ph.D. @AlvedaCKing]

Human dignity is not assigned by government, culture, court rulings, polling, or convenience.

It is given by God.

That means every life has value before the world sees it, before a child takes a first breath, before a mother knows what the future will hold.
We must protect mothers. We must protect babies. We must tell the truth with love.
From the womb to the tomb and beyond.

[Jay Collins @JayCollinsFL]

On this Sunday, I'm thankful for God's many blessings.

For the gift of faith. For family. For the men and women who serve our communities. For the freedom to worship, work hard, and build a better future together.

I'm reminded that God's grace is greater than our challenges, and His blessings are all around us if we take the time to see them.

I hope you and your family have a peaceful, joyful Sunday. God bless you, and God bless the great state of Florida.

With every conversation, abortion is becoming unthinkable and unnecessary for women facing unexpected pregnancies.

[Mosab Hassan Yousef @MosabHasanYOSEF]

This is the pattern.

They rewrite history by stealing and rebranding. Jewish prophets become Muslims, Christian God becomes a Muslim, and human achievements get an Islamic label.

Palestine is the clearest example, a Roman name invented to erase Israel, never mentioned in the Quran or Hadith.

They built their mosque on the Jewish temple and pour concrete to bury the ruins.

Identity theft, property theft, and denial of Jewish existence.

This is how they conquer.

The idea of an old earth comes from outside the Bible.

Those who believe in an old earth do so because they chose to start with man’s ideas about the past rather than God’s Word. They may say they believe God’s Word is the authority, but they reinterpret God’s Word in light of man’s ideas. God’s Word isn’t really their authority—sinful, fallible man’s interpretations of the past become the authority.

That’s why this issue matters so much—it all comes down to biblical authority!

The Grace of God and the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ

Key Passage

“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” — 2 Corinthians 8:9

Introduction

The Bible’s doctrine of grace is often reduced to a definition small enough to fit on the back of a church bulletin: “unmerited favor.” That definition is not wrong, but it is about as complete as describing the Atlantic Ocean as a damp place. Grace is certainly favor that man did not earn, deserve, purchase, negotiate, inherit, or manufacture, but the Scriptures carry the subject much farther than that. Grace is the disposition of God toward the undeserving, the purpose of God in saving the condemned, the power of God working through the weak, the generosity of God enriching the poor, and the glory of God displayed through Jesus Christ. Grace is not God becoming careless about sin. Grace is God dealing with sin so completely at Calvary that He can save the sinner freely without compromising one grain of His holiness. Grace is not divine sentimentality, and it is not God looking the other way while men trample through His commandments with muddy boots. Grace looked sin directly in the face, judged it in the body of Jesus Christ, buried the old sinner’s hope of self-righteousness, and opened the door of salvation without asking the bankrupt sinner to pay a bill that had already been settled in blood. When the Bible says, “the grace of God,” it is not speaking of a weak emotion in heaven. It is speaking of the mighty movement of God toward men who had neither the strength to reach Him nor the goodness to deserve Him.

The expression “the grace of” appears in several forms throughout the King James Bible, and every form adds another window to the same house of truth. We read of “the grace of God,” “the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,” “the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,” “the grace of Christ,” “the gospel of the grace of God,” “the dispensation of the grace of God,” “the gift of the grace of God,” “the manifold grace of God,” “the true grace of God,” and even “the grace of life.” These are not careless variations thrown onto the page by religious writers searching for new phrases. The Holy Ghost chose the words. Each expression reveals something about grace’s source, manifestation, operation, message, administration, abundance, truth, and result. The grace is God’s because it originates in God. It is the grace of Jesus Christ because God’s grace is embodied, revealed, purchased, and administered through the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the gospel of grace because grace has good news to proclaim. It is a dispensation of grace because God has committed a particular stewardship and revelation to the apostle Paul for us Gentiles. It is manifold grace because it does more than one thing. It is true grace because false teachers have always manufactured counterfeits. It is the grace of life because every breath, every spiritual blessing, and every promise of eternal life rests upon the undeserved goodness of God.

The great controlling verse is 2 Corinthians 8:9: “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” That verse gives grace a face, a name, a journey, and a sacrifice. Grace was rich. Grace became poor. Grace acted “for your sakes.” Grace entered poverty so that the poor might become rich. Paul does not merely tell us that Jesus taught grace, preached grace, or distributed grace. He describes the humiliation and sacrifice of Jesus Christ as “the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Grace came down. Grace left the worship of angels for the suspicion of men. Grace exchanged the throne room for a manger, the praises of heaven for the curses of sinners, and the riches of glory for the nakedness of a Roman cross. The story of grace is therefore the story of God

Government-Run Stores To Allow Anyone To Buy Groceries As Long As They Have Special Mark On Hand Or Forehead https://t.co/98SjF0u1oU

[Non-Hyphenated American @NHAunleashed]

Don Jr. and Eric Trump used a shell company to quietly buy into a construction firm called Skyline Builders in August 2025.

The very next month, Kazakhstan’s president privately told their dad he was planning to award the world’s largest undeveloped tungsten deposit to a US-backed company called Cove Kaz Capital. The second the brothers got that news, they doubled down and increased their stake. 6 days later, Skyline paid $20 million for a 20% cut of the project. 6 days after that, their father announced the deal at a White House summit. None of it was disclosed. Then the US Export-Import Bank and the Development Finance Corporation committed $1.6 billion in taxpayer money to backstop the whole thing.

The Trump boys take the profit. You eat the risk. The New York Times found they have financial ties to at least 14 companies currently receiving federal support. At least 14 companies that the president and his sons are using to personally enrich themselves while they influence or control it all behind the scenes, ahead of time.
