Pray societies around world are guided by The Holy Spirit to sincerely debate what aspects of gene-editing human babies are Biblical or Unbiblical:

The Lord is leading me this morning to look into the subject of “kindness” in the Scriptures, and what the Scriptures teach on this subject, so this is going to be taken from multiple passages of Scripture which I will reference below. So, the first thing I want to look into is the kindness of God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – for he is our example of what true kindness looks like. And this is important that we do this, because this word “kindness” is often being used in ways which are anti-biblical and not kind.

Kindness of God

We read in Romans 2:4-11 that God’s kindness is longsuffering and patience, but that his kindness is intended to lead us to repentance. So if we remain stubborn and unrepentant, we are storing up wrath for ourselves on the day of judgment when God will render to each person according to his deeds. And for those who do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, they will face the wrath of God, even if they profess faith in Jesus Christ.

And in Romans 11:22 we read of God’s kindness, as well as his severity. To those who fell, who rejected Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they faced his severity, and they were cut out of Israel. And for us who believe in Jesus, we have known his kindness, but we must continue in that kindness or we can be cut off, too. And what that means is that we must continue in dying to sin and walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commandments.

And in Ephesians 2:1-10 we read that God, in his kindness, made us sinners alive together with Christ, by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which was not of our own doing, but of the grace of God. We can do nothing in and of ourselves to deserve or to earn our own salvation. But we are saved by the grace of God, and as his workmanship, he created us for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them (obeying them).

And in 1 Peter 2:1-3 we read: “Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.” So God’s kindness to us is in delivering us out of our lives of bondage to sin so that we can now serve him with our lives in doing what he requires of us to do in obedience to him.

Us Being Kind

So, us being kind to one another is modeled for us by Jesus Christ. Not only is he merciful, but he is just. Not only is he gracious, but he is also righteous. Not only is he a God of love, but he is also a God of wrath. Not only is he loving and forgiving toward those who turn from their sins to obey him, but he is true to his word that those who refuse to repent and to obey him will not have salvation from sin nor eternal life with God.

So kindness is not just saying things to people to make them feel good inside. Yes, we must be people who are kind, generous, thoughtful, respectful, considerate, loving, tender, and gracious, who truly care about other people and what they are going through, and who will be good listeners, especially with us old people who repeat ourselves sometimes. We should never be nasty, rude, disrespectful, or hateful to anyone.

But kindness is never lying to people to make them feel good about themselves or so that they will like us and think we are great. Kindness always speaks truth, spoken in love, with sincerity, knowing the will of God for our lives and what constitutes genuine salvation from sin and eternal life with God. So it is loving and kind to tell people that salvation from sin and eternal life with God are not granted to those who refuse to obey God and who continue in deliberate sin. For you may save someone’s life from hell.

[Kindness of God – Romans 2:4-11; Romans 11:22; Ephesians 2:1-10; Titus 3:1-8; 1 Peter 2:1-3; Be you kind - 1 Corinthians 13:4; 2 Corinthians 6:2-10; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:12-13; 2 Timothy 2:24-26; 1 Peter 3:8-9; 2 Peter 1:5-11]

'We had 300,000 missing children under the Biden administration that the Mexican drug cartels brought into our country.'

Vice President J.D. Vance is defending the Trump administration’s enforcement of the U.S. government's immigration policies, which he says are consistent with Catholic Church teaching and Pope Leo XIV's own comments that every nation has the right to control its borders.

During an interview with Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle Thursday, Vance was asked to weigh in on Pope Leo XIV’s remarks on immigration, in which he said, “I think every country has a right to determine who and how and when people enter.”

“You may not know it, judging purely from the comments of some people on social media, but the Catholic Church’s views on this are actually quite clear,” Vance said.

Israel attacks Beirut, targets 'key' Hezbollah figure​

The IDF has been increasing the rate of strikes targeting alleged Hezbollah members and infrastructure in southern Lebanon in recent months, but until Sunday had not resumed attacks inside the capital.

It’s very difficult to see that there are three that are God - within the Godhead; God, God, and Holy Spirit.

Before Christ came, God spoke to God and said let us make man. Taking the understanding that within the Godhead there are three, the pattern of Man is exactly the same. Within Man, there are many, just like within the Godhead there are three.

The two in the Godhead made provisions to save man, which included the third, the Holy Spirit. One God decided to come to earth to become the Son to save man while the other God received him as His Son.
Psalms 45:7 KJV
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Jesus became the Son of God only when he was born of God through the Holy Ghost and a virgin. Before Jesus was crucified, having stepped down from His position as God in Heaven, He prayed to God Who is now His Father to be restored to the glory He once had. This verse proves this,
John 17:5 KJV
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

This is Jesus titles;
Isaiah 9:6 KJV
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

These titles belong to Jesus because He is God, has always been God, has always been One of Three in the Godhead.

We can only understand Man and how within the creation, there are many men. Same as within the animal world patterned after heaven; within the animal kingdom, there are many, patterned after God within the Godhead, there are Three!

Understanding this can help people see why Jesus is God and He is the Son at the same time.

• A California-based conservative group is planning an unsanctioned "MAGA invasion" of Disneyland
• On Wednesday, Nov. 19, the group known as 805 Patriots posted an invite for the meetup set to take place in February
• One of the goals of event is to trigger "as many liberals as possible in their home turf"
  
  
• Some commenters were concerned with paying for the tickets and sending their money to Disney, to which the organization said: “This is to go have some fun by triggering as many liberals as possible in their home turf as well as giving conservative families at least one chance to take their kids to Disneyland.”

I haven’t been going to church in a while. I feel like it’s boring. I find myself daydreaming and the sermons are good, but I really don’t like to sing or stand up. I like just saying prayers and even though the sermons are good, I don’t feel like going. I’m not really getting anything out of the Bible study, either, which is online. When I do go to church, I do tithe.
Am I falling away or is this not the right church for me? The people are nice.

I've often mentioned my (old) Presbyterian pastor whom I learnt a lot from, although he discouraged me. The night my father died he turned up in my room.

I was an atheist at the time, but he predicted I'd become Christian, and as part of that "... You will meet a pastor. You'll think he's great, but all he'll do is to discourage you even more!" (than he had himself).

I met the pastor circa 1982/83. When I was going to leave his church in 1991 (I was getting married and moving away) he admitted he had discouraged me, but as I said I still hold him in high respect. Incidentally h was not an admirer of some of the "last days" stuff which comes out of various (mainly Protestant) personalities in the USA in the main, saying "... it's a bit weird..."

But he had some thoughts on the issue. For one thing he was very firm on the business about no man knows the day or the hour of Christ's return. It could be tomorrow, and it could be 10,000 years down the track. We haven't been told.

However I find that if he thought something would happen it did sooner or later. Several of his predictions have come to pass since he died in 1992, including my becoming Catholic (1997); there would be a lot of priestly pedophile cases after I became Catholic (media from around 2002); my sister would get leukemia and not live very long which happened (2005 aged 45); his own eldest son would have a major health breakdown which was a stroke (1996 or 97); there would be a pandemic (Covid 2020); there would be a second Gulf War as the "... Americans will have had enough of Saddam Hussein and they will get rid of him. But I think they will lose a FEW men the next time (2003); I'd make a silly mistake at work and "they" would use that to get rid of me (1995); etc. These were all predicted and they all happened.

He wasn't an admirer of Zionism, commenting that ".... they've served their purpose ..." (it's up to the Jews to recognise Christ, not the other way round). But he also conjectured "I think He (God) is going to drive us off the planet... I think we'll learn to teleport..."

He died in 1992, and (from Wikipedia) "the first successful The first successful experimental quantum teleportation of a photon's polarization was achieved by two independent research groups in 1997", five years later.

It's a long cry from that event to teleporting material objects, and even more so living creatures which have a spirit.

But I think we'll get around that obstacle eventually, although there will most likely be a considerable hiatus between the first inanimate teleportation and the first biological teleportation.

We've moved a long way in space travel since World War II. Robert Goddard's rockets might have gone a couple of hundred feet into the air in the 1920's. The V2's were flying about 250 kms in 1944; and NASA landed men on the moon a mere 25 years later. And of course we now have AI and robotics both of which would be absolutely necessary for a civilisation in space. It's obvious God is letting us do these things, which implies they form part of His plan.

As Dietrich Bonhoeffer might have put it, Man has "Come of Age".

Now suppose his prediction happens, that God does indeed drive us off the planet - what price Jerusalem or for that matter Rome in a civilisation which might be spread through a fair section of the Milky Way? I'm Catholic and I accept the Petrine Chair - Christ was setting up an office and giving the church authority when He declared Peter the Rock.

But I know of no Biblical mandate for Rome to be the "eternal city".

The way politics is going we could well be heading for nuclear wars, and those cities could easily be destroyed.

So I'm not over impressed with hardline pronunciations about either Jerusalem or Rome for that matter. In the end they're just cities.

That's my cold blooded view, and that's what I think.

In Orthodox theology, the Ancient of Days is understood as the Son of God, the second person of the Holy Trinity.

In Daniel's prophecy, the Son of God appears as a distinct figure who approaches the Ancient of Days.

However, they are actually meant to be the same person.

How does Orthodox theology clarify this interesting situation?

In the United States of America, where I live, marked on our calendars is a yearly day of celebration and thanksgiving to God. Evidently, one of our former presidents by the name of Abraham Lincoln, who was later assassinated, declared it a national holiday in 1863 during the Civil War. “Lincoln’s proclamation was a way to unify the nation during the war by establishing a day for ‘Thanksgiving and Prayer’” (source Google AI). And this day of celebration will be this Thursday, November 27, 2025.

But for us who have trusted in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives, every day should be a day of “Thanksgiving and Prayer.” Every day we should be giving thanks to the Lord for the breath of life and for his love and forgiveness, and for saving us from our sins, and for giving us new life in him to be lived for his glory, and for his purposes, and for his praise. And this is not to be verbal only, but from our hearts of gratitude, and shown in how we live our lives in submission to God and to his purpose for our lives.

For thanksgiving to God is not in words only or it is not true thanksgiving. For if we are truly thankful that he saved us from our sins, and that he has given us new lives in him to be lived for his purpose, then we should be following him with our lives in doing what he commands. We should be walking in obedience to his commands, and sin must no longer be our practice. This doesn’t mean that we will never sin (1 John 2:1-2), or that we will never fail, but day by day we should be following Jesus with our lives.


Yes! As Jesus’s true sheep (followers) we are to be listening to (heeding, following, obeying) his voice, and we should be following (obeying, abiding by) his teachings and his commandments (New Covenant). And we are those to whom he gives eternal life, and we will never perish, and no one can snatch us out of his hands and the hands of God the Father because we pay close attention to our Lord’s words, and we love and obey our Lord and his teachings, and we follow him wherever he leads us in doing what he says.

And that is the best thanksgiving and praise that we can give to God, is when we bow to him in submission to his will and we follow him wherever he leads us in doing all that he commands that we must do as his followers. Yes, I am certain that he loves to hear us sing praises to him and to give him verbal thanks and praise, but provided that our praise is sincere and that it is accompanied by genuine submission to him as Lord of our lives. For the praise that he desires most is our surrender of our lives to him as our Lord.

And this will be evidenced by us serving him with our lives in doing what he has called us to do collectively and individually. And it will be shown through our humility in recognizing that all we have is from the Lord and not of our own doing, and when we become his true and abiding sheep (followers). For true thanksgiving to God is not in lip service only, but in surrender to his will in doing all that he commands that we must do as his followers. And the Lord is good, and his lovingkindness and faithfulness is everlasting. Amen!

My Sheep

Based off John 10:1-30 NIV
An Original Work / June 24, 2012
Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

My sheep hear me. They know me.
They listen to my voice and obey.
I call them and lead them.
They know my voice, so they follow me.
They will never follow strangers.
They will run away from them.
The voice of a stranger they know not;
They do not follow him.

So, I tell you the truth that
I am the gate, so you enter in.
Whoever does enter
Will find forgiveness and will be saved.
Nonetheless whoever enters
Not by the gate; other way,
He is the thief and a robber.
Listen not, the sheep to him.

Oh, I am the Good Shepherd,
Who laid his own life down for the sheep.
I know them. They know me.
They will live with me eternally.
The thief only comes to steal and
Kill and to destroy the church.
I have come to give you life that
You may have it to the full…

They know my voice, so they follow me.

The Sheep of His Pasture

A trans-identified TSA officer has filed a lawsuit accusing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security of discrimination over its policy prohibiting men from patting down women at security checkpoints.

A man who goes by the name Danielle Mittereder, and works as a TSA officer at Dulles International Airport in Virginia, filed a lawsuit on Nov. 7 at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is named as a defendant in the suit that alleges TSA’s policy discriminates against Mittereder “on the basis of sex,” in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Archbishop José H. Gómez of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles criticized President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts and urged lawmakers to find a bipartisan solution to fix the American immigration system.

“My brother bishops and I have seen how this deportation policy is ruining people’s lives and breaking up families; in our parishes and neighborhoods, people are now living in constant fear,” Gómez said in a Nov. 18 op-ed published in Angelus News.

Gómez — who serves the largest archdiocese in the country and a large Hispanic population — referenced the Nov. 12 special message from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), which conveyed unified opposition to “the indiscriminate mass deportation of people,” approved by 96% of bishops who voted.

In his op-ed, Gómez accused the Trump administration of carrying out deportations “in harsh and indiscriminate ways.” He criticized alleged quotas for arrests, raids on workplaces, limits to foreign worker visas and other legal pathways to the United States, and the revocation of some immigrants’ “temporary protected legal status.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said Friday night she would resign from Congress in early January. The announcement followed a public breakdown in her relationship with President Donald Trump over issues including the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files.

In a statement posted to X, Greene said her final day as representative of Georgia’s 14th District will be Jan. 5, 2026, citing Trump’s alleged recent attacks on her as a key reason for her decision.

Trump had called Greene a “traitor” and a “lunatic” after she supported a bill requiring the Department of Justice to disclose its Epstein investigation records, The Christian Post reported earlier this week.

This is an extension of the most dangerous to ride light rail system in the United States. I would have preferred the money be used toward safety measures before even considering extensions. The closest stop to where I used to live is the most dangerous of all of the stops, and I haven't used the light rail in years nor do I intend to do so.

Trump took a huge dip with Independents, also with Hispanics and blacks. Folks can tell that prices have not come down.

Something good my diocese just did:

Soon after she arrived in New Jersey, Episcopal Bishop Sally French discovered her new diocese had a little-used fund to support medical care for children and adolescents with lifelong and debilitating illnesses.

The Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey’s Jane O.P. Turner Fund was sitting on $3.6 million in assets and doling out only a tiny fraction over the past 12 years.

On Friday (Nov. 21), French announced the diocese was giving $1 million from the fund to the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem and the Middle East to help it provide medical care for Palestinian children and families in Gaza and the West Bank. Archbishop Hosam E. Naoum of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem appeared at a formal announcement via Zoom, alongside French.

“We realized that we had resources that we could potentially put to use,” French told RNS in a phone call. “We recognized nothing in the terms (of the fund) that say it must be in New Jersey, or even in this country. By offering this gift, we could make a real difference in the lives of children and youth and families in Gaza and elsewhere in the Palestinian territories. This for us is gospel work.”

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump signed into law the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires the Department of Justice (DOJ) to publicly release the so-called Epstein Files, a cache of documents related to late financier Jeffrey Epstein, who is believed to have run a child sex trafficking ring.

While Trump, who is named in some of the files, has referred to the scandalsurrounding the documents as a “Democrat hoax” and previously rejected the idea of releasing them, he has relented to political pressure, including some from members of his own political party.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a devout Southern Baptist, has expressed disappointment that the Senate did not amend the bill to include greater restrictions on what would be released to the public.

Trump can be irritating but his numerous successes are a reality.

"In searching for the earliest life on Earth and other worlds, researchers normally look for intact fossils or biomolecules made only by living organisms. But such signals are few and far between. Now, researchers have devised an artificial intelligence (AI) that can identify signs of ancient life in rocks of unknown provenance, based only on the pattern of chemicals left behind as biomolecules degrade over eons."
