“In the original language, Fear the Lord’ doesn’t mean be afraid. It means sustaining a joyful, astonished awe, and wonder before Him.” ~Timothy Keller

Islamophobia is a made up term that uses the West's suicidal empathy to shut off its survival instinct. If a religion seeks to eradicate your heritage, culture, society, civilization, and religion, then it is perfectly RATIONAL to be phobic of its intrusion into your societies.

Muslims in Denmark are threatening to leave the country after the government promised to ban the Islamic call to prayer.

Do you support Denmark’s proposal? 🇩🇰

I have to say, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine my children’s future fight would be against Muslim invasion into the West.

Christian pastors are going to have to think deeper than “welcome the stranger” and “love the immigrant among you” for their thoughts on immigration policy in the coming years with huge swaths of Islamic socialists actively seeking to gain political power and fundamentally reshape significant parts of America.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Correct. I’ve predicted this for several decades now.

You have to assign 3 preachers from history that every student in seminary must study their life, their writings, and their sermons.

Which 3 pastors would you choose?

🐦‍⬛Birds sing thousands of songs each day. Did you get that? Thousands of different, beautiful songs to the Lord. Some birds spend about 70% of their day simply singing. They sing to claim their territory and to attract other birds. I can’t help but compare this to how we, as believers, who love Jesus Christ, should be singing our praises to Him so much that others are attracted to know Him.
Our lives of praise should attract others to the cross of Christ. 
Another beautiful reminder I have learned from the birds is that their songs are heard loudly early in the morning. We know that Jesus woke up early in the morning to spend time with His Father, and so should we wake up and dedicate our day and time to Him. (Mark 1:35) Birds sing early in the day before they start any of their work. They put forth their first energy of the new day proclaiming praise and a beautiful new song.

Psalm 96:1 “Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.”

What is the song you are singing today?
What praises are flowing from your heart to your mouth and onto those around you? ❤️

🚨BREAKING: Mayor Mamdani has just BANNED large celebrations of more than 20 people for America's 250th anniversary.

Mamdani cited "staffing shortages" as the reason.

He ALLOWED over 1,000 Muslims to celebrate Ramadan in Time Square.

Is this fair?

[Terrence K. Williams @w_terrence]

Cardinal Robert Sarah couldn’t have said it any better: “Wake up. Islam is a danger. If Christians don’t start caring about our faith, Islam will take over the West. They’ll impose their laws and culture. They’ll grow massively in number. And we will decline.”

[RadioGenoa @RadioGenoa]

Bishop Athanasius Schneider speaks very clearly: "They are not refugees, they are invaders who want to Islamize Europe. They want to destroy historical culture in Europe.” They should have made him Pope.

[Shukri Hamk 🇦🇺 @Yazidisto]

They are allowed to burn 19 Yazidi girls but I’m not allowed to talk about it because it is considered Islamophobia.

I went back to read the resurrection accounts of Matthew and John this morning and noticed something interesting. The first words out of Jesus’ mouth after the resurrection were “go tell my brothers.” And it brought me to tears.

Matthew 28:10. Read it slowly. The stone has just rolled back. Death has just been defeated for the first time in human history. The most consequential moment in the cosmos has just occurred. And the risen King opens his mouth and calls us brothers.
But Matthew alone might not stop you.

So go to John 20:17, where he tells Mary what to tell them:

“I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”
He does not say “the Father.” He does not say “God.” He says MY Father is now YOUR Father. MY God is now YOUR God.

He rises and the first thing he does is redistribute the inheritance.

This is where most people misread the resurrection. They treat it as a power demonstration. Jesus proved he was God. Jesus showed death who was boss. And those things are true but they are not the point. The point is what he did with the power once he had it.

Because what I have learned in my few years on earth is that when men have power, the immediate instinct is to reclassify.

The people who were their peers become subordinates. The people who called you brother now call you sir. We have seen it in offices, in governments, in churches. Elevation changes vocabulary.

The higher a man rises the lonelier the pronoun “we” becomes.

Jesus rose to the highest position in the universe and his vocabulary did not change. He came back and said brothers. He said your Father. He said our God. He reclassified upward. He used his exaltation not to press us into subjects but to pull us into sons.

This is the actual consequence of the resurrection: ADOPTION. A dead savior cannot make you a son. A dead elder brother cannot bring you into the family. He had to conquer death because brothers share in each other’s life and he could not give us what he had not first secured himself.

Romans 8:29 calls him the firstborn among many brothers. Firstborn means there are others coming. You are not a spectator of his resurrection. You are its intended outcome.

The crowned King looked across the infinite chasm between his holiness and your humanity and the word he chose was not “subject.” It was not “servant.” It was not even “beloved.”
He said brother.

On the other side of death, with all authority in heaven and earth, he said brother.

So celebrate today for everything it is. Celebrate the empty tomb, celebrate the vindication of a man the world tried, condemned, and buried, and whom heaven refused to leave in the ground. Celebrate the sins that are gone and the immeasurable, uncontainable, universe-rearranging power of God on full display.

But do not miss the most beautiful thing.

He did not just cancel your debt. He gave you a name. He did not just acquit you. He adopted you. Forgiveness would have been everything. Sonship is more than everything. And he gave us both.

The risen King called us brothers. That means the Father he returned to is the Father we are returning to. That means the glory he walked into is the glory we are walking toward. That means Easter is not just the day Jesus won.
It is the day you inherited everything he won it for.

Hallelujah! He is risen.

Hey @TuckerCarlson. You called me out on your show last night shaming me for my stand on Israel and the Temple. Now I call you out for an actual discussion. Don’t throw a punch and then run to the locker room. Let’s talk ISRAEL & BIBLE

[Nancy Pearcey @NancyRPearcey]

John Wycliffe, who translated the Bible into English in the 14th century, said that if every ordinary person has a Bible, there can then be government “of the people, by the people, for the people.”

That's where Lincoln got his famous phrase in the Gettysburg Address.
