The modern world is a profane, perverse, and immodest matrix that you can't escape from until you trash your television and relearn who you are supposed to be from Scripture and your ancestors.
I had to pray to the Lord for forgiveness.
I accidentally had a thought about giving less aid to Israel. I didn't mean to think it. It just happened.
I prayed to God for forgiveness for just thinking that thought, and seek to atone for my wickedness.

@cactusncookies I've known a few couples over the years who were advised to abort over "birth defects" and said no. All but 1 had a normal healthy child. The 1's parents were told he would die by age 3. He's in his 30s and happily married
@MaryBowdenMD@TexasChildrens That hospital never stopped performing "transition" surgeries on children despite Texas law banning it. The only person arrested for it was the whistleblower who exposed it.
Every woman who wants a successful relationship needs to understand male nature.
Men and women are not equal.
Men will:
• Stay silent when hurt.
• Think deeply but show less.
• Test loyalty through actions.
• Observe more than they speak.
• Lose interest when unappreciated.
• Avoid vulnerability as it’s high-risk.
• Stop explaining when misunderstood.
• Value peace of mind over attention.
• Distance themselves when disrespected.
Accept men as they are, not as you wish them to be ladies.
If you want to be counter-cultural, tell single women to marry godly men and to produce godly offspring.
If you want to acquiesce to the Zeitgeist, tell single women that fruitlessness is, in fact, fruitful. Godly men need wives. Godly women need husbands. Single women is a problem looking for permission to be a solution.
Be fruitful and multiply.
@Ligonier It's interesting how the warning is always against making marriage and children an idol, but never against making your degree and career an idol.
Vladimir Putin: "After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it seemed to us that we would quickly become members of the so-called civilized family of European nations."
"Today it turns out that there is no civilization there, only complete degeneracy."
Our pulpits are filled with feckless cowards who are afraid to take a righteous stand against evil.
Why?
Because they're afraid you might leave and, more importantly, take your $$ with you. Oh, you didn't know that?
CONSEQUENCES:
Instead of the Church transforming the world for Christ, the world is now transforming us!
Proof: HAVE YOU LOOKED AROUND LATELY?
You are aware that ~52% of evangelical congregations in America are LGBTQ+ affirming, right?🏳️🌈
Marriage is far more effective in revealing the various idolatries of its participants than it is in becoming an idol itself.
In offering us an intensely close neighbor to love—day after day, decade after decade—marriage tests our virtue in myriad ways.
A great gift of God.
