@ScottPresler Scott, they are a double edged sword for rural communities. In my town, several have higher paying jobs. On the other hand, many residents are losing their rental homes to construction workers. This could be over 100 in a population of 5,000.
Countries in the Bible and what they are called today:
Persia — Iran
Babylon — Iraq
Assyria — Iraq, Syria, Turkey
Canaan — Israel, Palestine, Lebanon
Aram — Syria
Moab — Jordan
Ammon — Jordan
Edom — Jordan
Philistia — Palestine (Gaza region)
Cush — Sudan / Ethiopia
Media — Iran
Mesopotamia — Iraq
Phoenicia — Lebanon
Asia Minor — Turkey
Macedonia — North Macedonia / Greece
Rome — Italy
Tarshish — Possibly Spain
The Bible was written in real places, among real nations, throughout real history.
These weren’t fictional lands. They were kingdoms, empires, and nations where God revealed Himself, judged rulers, raised prophets, delivered His people, and fulfilled His promises.
Jesus said, “It is written.”
Satan also said, “It is written.”
Same Scripture.
Two completely different spirits.
This is why you cannot trust someone simply because they quote the Bible.
The devil knows the verses, but he hates the Author.
He already knows his final destination, and since he cannot escape it, he is trying to pull as many people as possible with him.
Not every voice using Scripture is speaking for God.
Discernment is not optional.
It is survival.
Seems like I remember talk of this back in November. It is now happening.

@maganewsbites @danroberts0101 Locals are experiencing growth pains. There is a housing shortage as well as water shortage. Water shortage is because of a drought. IREN has been nothing but a great neighbor to Childress!
On day 1 of my high school history class, our professor got up and said
You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago people your age were married, planted crops, had children, and built a cabin by winter. You can do your homework. The bar set for you historically is embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies. You have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe, air-conditioned room. You have no excuses.
24 years ago today, we intercepted this monster wedge #tornado west of Throckmorton, Texas with a renegade supercell. I was with four fellow meteorology students and friends Aaron Ruppert, Wally Hogsett, Adam Atkins and Holly Brewer. Never stop chasing
I have a habit of stopping by airport chapels when I have the time. Most of them have closed down in the US in major airports, but DFW reopened theirs and they’re basically mosques. I had a very uncomfortable experience praying in the chapel on Palm Sunday, but I refused to leave while the Muslims were being so nasty. I refused to leave what is meant to be a temple of the Lord, especially on Palm Sunday. I had a long layover so I waited them out. One man grew frustrated after about 30 minutes and left, but not before others came in. They were clearly having conversations about me in Arabic. They weren’t being shy about letting me know they were talking about me. But I sat and prayed and read the Bible and I did not leave until the last Muslim had cleared out. It was actually a very scary experience given how isolated the chapel was, but I think we need to start staking ground.
