In March 2016, a woman pulled into a Dutch Bros Coffee drive-through in Vancouver, Washington. She was a regular customer, but this visit was different.
Her 37-year-old husband had died the night before.
The employees could see that she was struggling inside her car. Pierce Dunn, 19, asked if he could pray with her. She said yes.
Dunn was joined by coworkers Evan Freeman and Jacob Hancock. The three leaned through the drive-through window, held the woman's hand and stayed there with her for nearly five minutes, praying for peace for her and her family.
They gave her a free drink and told her she could come back anytime if she needed someone to talk to.
None of them knew that another customer, Barbara Danner, was sitting in the line behind them. She quietly photographed the moment.
Dunn later said he had never prayed with someone through a drive-through window before.
That morning, three coffee shop employees couldn't change what had happened the night before. They could only make sure she didn't have to sit with it alone.
����INCREDIBLE: A baby was taken out of the womb at 23 weeks, had a life-threatening tumor removed, and was put BACK INSIDE so she could keep growing.
In one of the most remarkable surgeries ever performed, doctors at Texas Children’s Hospital opened the mother’s uterus at just 23 weeks, partially delivered the tiny baby, cut away a massive tumor that was crushing her heart, then gently placed her back into the womb and sewed everything shut.
The baby, LynLee Hope, continued developing for another 13 weeks and was born healthy near full term.
This is open fetal surgery — one of the most advanced and delicate procedures in modern medicine. Surgeons literally operate on a child who is still supposed to be inside her mother, then return her to finish growing.
A living miracle of skill, courage, and science.
One of the best explanations of why Jesus had to die on the cross that I've ever heard. I've listened to apologetics content for 20+ years and have never heard this. Well done @howertonjosh
In the book of Exodus, God reveals his personal name to Moses. The meaning behind it goes deeper than most people realize.
It's not about who you are. It's about who HE is.
🚨 HOLY CRAP, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary CONFIRMED the FDA purposefully lied to the people for nearly 2 decades against dietary fats to help Big Pharma
People avoided fat and ate MORE SUGAR, so Pharma could sell them more drugs.
RFK Jr. just declared open WAR on added sugar
“They suppressed the data for 16 years…Those in the low-fat group had higher rates of heart attacks!”
“We created a generation of children with low protein, high carbohydrates, sugar addiction, and burdened with ultra-processed foods, and what did we do as a medical field? Drugged them at scale!”
“Those days are OVER. We are telling people the truth about food.”
MAHA WILL WIN!
.@POTUS: Yet as we approach this magnificent anniversary, we see our American identity under a renewed attack. A generation after we fought and won the Cold War against the menace of Communism, there is now a resurgence of the Communist menace in our land—including from newcomers to our country who embrace ideas totally opposed to our way of life.
These are not mere political disagreements, like differences over taxes or regulations. Communism is a mortal threat to American Liberty. It is the Greatest Threat to our Country including World War One, World War Two, Pearl Harbor, or 9/11.
Because Communism is the enemy of Free People everywhere. It is the enemy of the Constitution. Above all, it is the Enemy of July 4th, 1776.
Even while the Radicals and Extremists attack our incredible history at every turn, they are SILENT on the miserable history of Communism itself. Their system has led to more death and destruction than any system ever tried—it killed 100 million people in the last century.
Communism is the exact opposite of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—it is death, tyranny and the pursuit of evil.
The Godless Communist morality states that anything is justified to bring about the inhuman visions they propose. They have no respect for law, justice, principle, tradition, or your God-given rights.
It is an ideology of mass theft, mass control, mass lies, and mass murder. Such doctrines can be given no quarter in a Democracy, because the first thing they do when they get into power is turn around, and destroy it—just as Communists have done in other countries all over the world.
Very simply, Communism represents the worst ideas and abuses in history by the worst people—the American Founding represents the best ideas and traditions in history by the best people.
You can be loyal to Karl Marx, or you can be loyal to America. You can be a Communist, or you can be a Patriot. You cannot be both.
As for those who would peddle Marxist lies about our heritage—who tell our children that we live on stolen land, or that our heroes were oppressors—they are doing something much worse than slandering our past. They are attacking our future. They are trying to tear down the American Character, to destroy the people who declared Independence, crossed the Delaware, settled the West, and conquered the skies. But we will never let that happen.
Our American Ancestors did not shed their blood at Concord and Trenton, Gettysburg and Shiloh, Midway and Normandy, just so that a band of thieves and radicals could come in and loot and pillage the nation our heroes died to win, build, and save.
So on the eve of this 250th anniversary of American Liberty, we resolve and swear for all to hear that the Citizens of the United States of America will vanquish Communism from our shores, and send it into exile once and for all. America will never be a Communist country!
Pride will destroy you.
The Scripture warns us about pride. Because of our sin nature, this is a problem we all have. After the great victory God gave King Hezekiah, we read this sad situation:
“In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death, and he prayed to the Lord, and he answered him and gave him a sign. But Hezekiah did not make return according to the benefit done to him, for his heart was proud. Therefore wrath came upon him and Judah and Jerusalem” (2 Chronicles 32:24–25).
Because of the wonderful defeat of the Assyrian army, Hezekiah became proud! This should have been his downfall, but “Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah” (2 Chronicles 32:26).
When we are involved in serving the Lord, no matter how great or small our role, we always need to remember to give God the glory and honor and to recognize it is easy for any of us to be lifted up in pride and set the wrong example for those looking at us.
“One’s pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor” (Proverbs 29:23).
Yes, pride will destroy you and your ministry—don’t let it gain a foothold in your heart.
