What happened to America?
How did we get rampant homosexuality, adultery, feminism, immodesty, abortion, and pagan immigration?
What is the root cause of our fall?
We turned from Christ.
We stopped going to church.
We put down our Bibles.
The cost of rejecting God is high.
•Homosexuality is sin, not love
•Transgenderism is deceit, not truth
•Abortion is murder, not medicine
•The Bible is truth, not myth
•Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, not your good works
Satan is not opposed to good morals.
He’s opposed to Jesus Christ.
Read that again because most Christians miss this completely.
Satan doesn’t care if you’re a “good person.” He doesn’t care if you volunteer at the food bank, recycle your trash, and help old ladies cross the street. He doesn’t care if you’re kind, generous, and well-liked by everyone in your community.
He cares that you don’t bow the knee to Jesus.
Here’s the deception that’s damning millions:
Satan has convinced people that morality equals spirituality. That being a “good person” is the same as being a Christian. That if you just live right, treat people well, and avoid the “big sins,” you’re acceptable to God.
This is a lie straight from the pit of hell.
The Pharisees had impeccable morals. They followed the law meticulously. They were respected, disciplined, and religiously devoted.
Jesus called them children of the devil.
Why? Not because their morals were bad. Because their morals replaced Christ.
Satan’s greatest trick isn’t making bad people worse. It’s making good people think they don’t need a Savior.
Think about it:
The atheist who feeds the homeless thinks he’s good enough without God.
The Buddhist who meditates and practices compassion thinks she’s enlightened without Christ.
The Muslim who prays five times daily thinks he’s righteous without Jesus.
The moral Christian who goes to church, pays his tithe, and avoids scandal thinks he’s saved without surrender.
All of them are headed to the same place: eternal separation from God.
Because morality doesn’t save. Jesus saves.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
Satan loves moral people who reject Jesus. They’re his best advertisement for the lie that you can earn your way to heaven.
They’re living proof that you can:
•Be kind without Christ
•Be generous without God
•Be disciplined without the Holy Spirit
•Be respected without redemption
And still be lost.
The most dangerous people in hell won’t be the murderers and rapists. They’ll be the moral, upstanding citizens who thought their goodness was good enough.
Their morals became their idol. Their goodness became their god.
And Satan smiled because he’d accomplished his goal: Keep them from Jesus.
Here’s what most Christians don’t understand:
Satan doesn’t need to make you do bad things. He just needs to keep you from doing the ONE thing that matters: surrendering to Christ.
If he can get you to:
•Trust your morals instead of Christ’s sacrifice
•Rely on your goodness instead of God’s grace
•Believe in your works instead of Jesus’ finished work
He’s won.
You can live a moral life and still die lost. You can be a good person and still face judgment. You can avoid all the “big sins” and still end up separated from God forever.
Because the only sin that damns you eternally is rejecting Jesus Christ.
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36
Not the murderer who repents and believes in Christ is damned.
Not the thief who turns to Jesus on the cross is damned.
Not the prostitute who washes Jesus’ feet with her tears is damned.
The moral, religious person who rejects Christ is damned.
That’s why Satan loves morality without Jesus. It sends people to hell with a smile on their face, convinced they were good enough.
Stop trusting your morals. Start trusting Jesus.
Your goodness won’t save you. Your works won’t redeem you. Your morality won’t justify you.
Only the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away your sin and make you acceptable to a holy God.
Everything else is just Satan’s distraction from the one thing that actually matters.
🚨WOW!!!!
A 13-year-old boy in Utah has just spent his ENTIRE SUMMER building a custom wheelchair for a 21-month-old baby girl he's never met.
His name is Zac Waters.
He watched a YouTube channel about 3D printing and decided he wanted to do something with it.
So he found MakeGood, a nonprofit that 3D prints assistive devices for people with disabilities, and got to work.
He spent over 300 HOURS, designing, printing, testing. and assembling.
...but he didn't just build a chair, he custom-designed it specifically for her
He custom printed pink accents, because pink is her favorite color.
He built her a removable cupholder and tray table. He designed a space in the back for heavier medical equipment.
He gave her soft, bendable straps so they don't dig into her, he even designed an adjustable footrest and headrest so it grows with her as she does.
When they asked him why he did it, he said it combines his two favorite things in life: 3D printing and helping people in need.
He's THIRTEEN YEARS OLD.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

A dark cloud of satanic deception and delusion is covering the earth. Good is portrayed as evil and darkness as light. The sad part is that, given the political manifestations of all this, we are all going to be affected by it.
Both in America and in Israel, the liberals are winning not because they are the majority, but because the conservatives are divided and polarized. The end of October in Israel and the beginning of November in America may very well prove that point.
To you, the people of God across the globe, I have these encouraging words:
We serve an unchanging God whose promises are final and whose ways and thoughts are infinitely higher than those of man.
“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.”
Colossians 2:8 (NKJV)
Stay close to the Lord and His Word - fulfill your duty and vote according to your biblical convictions no matter what - and always remember that your prayers avail much.
“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”
Galatians 6:9 (NKJV)
Tough days are ahead of us - but who ever promised that the end times would be easy?
“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”
2 Timothy 3:1-5 (NKJV)
We are in this together!
So, “let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.”
Hebrews 10:24 (NKJV)
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.”
Philippians 4:4-5 (NKJV)
We as believers are allowed to shed tears - tears of sadness over the state of our nations, yet tears of joy because of the living hope we have in the Messiah.
Stand firm in the faith, abound in the work of the Lord, and await His glorious appearing. Grace be with you all.
Awaiting His Soon Return,
Amir

When Preachers Entertain, the Devil Applauds – The Pulpit Was Never Meant for Performance
Introduction
The pulpit was never meant to be a stage, the preacher was never meant to be a performer, and the congregation was never meant to be an audience waiting to be impressed. The pulpit is a sacred place of proclamation where a man stands under the fear of God, opens the word of God, and declares the message of God to souls who will one day stand before God. That is not entertainment. That is not religious theater. That is not motivational speaking with a Bible verse sprinkled on top. That is not a comedy routine, a branding opportunity, a personality platform, or a weekly performance designed to keep people emotionally engaged and spiritually undisturbed. The pulpit was meant for preaching. “Preach the word,” said Paul in 2 Timothy 4:2. Not entertain the crowd. Not manage the room. Not protect the atmosphere. Not build the preacher’s image. “Preach the word.” When the pulpit forgets that command, the devil does not need to shut the church down. He just needs to turn the pulpit into a stage.
The devil applauds entertaining preaching because entertaining preaching can keep people busy without making them holy, moved without making them obedient, laughing without making them repent, impressed without making them tremble, and comfortable without making them converted. The devil does not mind a preacher who can hold attention if he cannot hold the line. He does not mind religious energy if there is no conviction. He does not mind a packed building if the saints are not being fed and sinners are not being warned. He does not mind polished sermons that make people say, “That was amazing,” as long as nobody walks away saying, “God has spoken to me, and I must get right.” The devil is not afraid of talent. He has seen plenty of it. He is not afraid of crowds. He has plenty of them. He is not afraid of emotion. He can manufacture that anywhere. What he fears is a Bible opened, a cross preached, sin exposed, Christ exalted, hell warned against, doctrine declared, and the Holy Ghost using the sword of the Spirit to cut into hearts.
The modern pulpit is in danger because too many preachers have confused communication with performance. Yes, a preacher should be clear. Yes, he should be understandable. Yes, he should avoid needless dullness, careless speech, and lazy preparation. But clarity is not entertainment, and earnestness is not showmanship. The old prophets were not performers. John the Baptist was not a performer. Paul was not a performer. Stephen was not a performer. The Lord Jesus Christ was not a performer. They spoke truth with authority because eternity was real. Today, many pulpits are shaped more by audience retention than divine commission. Sermons are crafted to be shareable, pleasant, humorous, smooth, non-threatening, emotionally timed, and socially acceptable. But the Bible says, “It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.” God did not choose performance as His method. He chose preaching. When preaching becomes entertainment, the pulpit may still draw applause from men, but it loses power with God.
Chapter One: The Pulpit Is a Place of Proclamation, Not Performance
The pulpit is a place of proclamation because the preacher is a herald, not an actor. A herald does not invent the king’s message. He does not soften it because the crowd is sensitive. He does not change it to fit the mood of the hour. He does not decorate it with enough humor and personality that the decree becomes secondary to the delivery. He stands and announces what the king has said. That is Bible preaching. The preacher stands with a Book in his hand and a charge on his soul. He is not there to display himself. He is there to declare God’s word. The moment the preacher becomes the main attraction, the pulpit has been profaned.
Second Timothy 4:1-2 gives the preacher his charge: “I charge thee therefore before
People will trust lottery odds… but ignore prophecy. 👀
Odds of winning a lottery:
1 in 259,000,000
Odds of ONE man fulfilling just 8 biblical prophecies:
1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000
And Jesus fulfilled OVER 300.
Born in Bethlehem.
Betrayed for 30 pieces of silver.
Pierced hands and feet.
Buried with the rich.
Rose again.
These prophecies were written hundreds of years before Jesus was born.
At some point, it stops being coincidence.
The Bible isn’t just a book.
Jesus isn’t just a teacher.
He is exactly who He said He is. ✝️

@aj_inapi At the height of slavery in America, only 1.4% of Americans owned slaves. The same ruling class that's passing laws owned slaves, not those you see on the street. Stop giving power to the same ruling class making us fight.
@TheresaArueyin1 Thought you might find this interesting regarding Barabba's name.
Bar: Meaning "son".
Abba: Meaning "father".
Together, the name literally translates to "son of the father."
I thank God daily for saving a wretch like me. His love is everlasting and He is there for whosoever
Two simple Truths:
Jesus Christ died for our sins.
America’s fallen died for our freedom.
May we live worthy.

This is how we know it’s God-inspired and not man-made.
🚨‼️A lot of Christians are not ruined by adultery, drunkenness, or apostasy. They are ruined by delay. They keep saying “one day” while God keeps saying “today.” One day I’ll get serious. One day I’ll lead my family. One day I’ll pray like I should. One day I’ll witness. One day I’ll use what God gave me. And while they keep kissing that word “later,” their life is bleeding out on the floor.
The devil does not need every believer to become a Satanist. He just needs him distracted, tired, overcommitted, and always almost ready. If he can keep you busy enough to neglect prayer, dull enough to avoid the Bible, and comfortable enough to postpone obedience, then he can bury your calling without ever putting you in a tabloid scandal. That is why some of the saddest wrecks in the body of Christ still look respectable on Sunday morning.
Jesus Christ did not say, “Admire till I come.” He said, “Occupy till I come.” That means do business with what He gave you. Use the gift. Carry the burden. Speak the truth. Raise the children. Write the page. Pray the prayer. Make the call. Take the step. Stop waiting for a perfect season in a cursed world. If the thing is right, scriptural, and sitting in your hands, then your biggest enemy may not be confusion. It may be disobedience with a polite smile on its face.
One day you are going to stand before the Lord Jesus Christ, and it will not matter how many intentions you had stacked up in your head. It will matter what you did with what He gave you. That is the difference between a burden and a biography. Plenty of people feel things. Fewer obey. So quit bragging about what you know God has put on your heart and go do the next thing He already showed you to do.
Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.
Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”
One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.
Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.
Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.
Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.
They conquered until they collapsed.
America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.
And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.
Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”
Almost unprecedented?
It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.
The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.
It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.
America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.
That’s not policy.
That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.
You’re being told a story right now.
That America is the villain of history.
You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.
Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”
Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.
The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.
And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”
Probably right.
China has historically built walls, not fleets.
But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.
We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.
AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.
If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?
The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?
Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.
Billions lifted out of poverty.
All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.
And carries no guarantee of being repeated.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.
It was what it didn’t do after.
The Islamists are slaughtering Christians in Africa. Where are the western countries? This must be confronted. Now!
“Genocide!” cries the Left…
…except when Islamists are committing genocide against Christians in Nigeria, Sudan, Syria, Myanmar, Libya, the Congo, Burkina Faso, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Iran, and Afghanistan.
Please pray for the Catholic hostages kidnapped by islamist terrorists in Nigeria
As their ransom demands have not been met, the terrorists have begun to execute women and children
No coverage in western media
Please RT so that the world knows about the inhuman crimes committed in Nigeria with the compliance of western politicians, religious leaders and media
I don't want any confrontation on this post. Just getting my feelings out. If you don't agree just pass this by........ I'm going to vent here...I believe we all have the right to worship as we please, but I also know that our country, the United States of America was founded on Christian principles. I believe we should be proud of our country. A quote is a quote. It should not be amended or watered down. The news should not be afraid to use someone’s quote that refers to God.
On the "Today Show", one of the wives of one of the Navy Seals killed along with the US ambassador in Libya was being interviewed. He asked her what she would say to her children about their dad and how she would want them to remember him. Her answer, and I quote, "His love for Christ", and then continued on with a few other things. Throughout the day and on the MSN homepage, replaying the story, they have edited the "Love of Christ" part out. Why? Because using the word Christ might offend someone! Well now, it's my turn to be offended! I'm offended that they would edit it out. Offended that Christians are asked to tread lightly so as not to offend someone of another religion. This man loved his country and loved God and gave his life for both. This Founding Principle is actually embedded in our Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
I hope every Christian or every person that believes in God who is offended will copy this and paste it to their status.... Let’s get this trending 🙏
“If we ever forget that we're one nation under GOD, then we will be a nation gone under.” ~Ronald Reagan
Today 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ was nailed to a cross for a sin he did not commit
He was perfect, without sin.. yet was made sin. He could have defended himself or denied every accusation, he had the power to summon 72,000 angels yet he endured.
All for our justification 😢
@yhbryankimiq I've read 7 chapters so far and very well written!
I know you have a bible study on here. Is this open to all like a zoom meeting?
Keep glorifying God and pointing the lost to Christ and thank you for being a servant of the Most High.
