Hey everybody, free pardons for public corruption! We're also looking the other way! So get on with it!

Trump pardons former Tennessee House speaker convicted of federal public corruption charges​

The moves continued a pattern of Trump, a Republican, using his second term to bestow unlikely pardons on political allies, prominent public figures and others convicted of defrauding the public.

...a major political figure like James, which would more typically be led by the department’s Public Integrity Section. Staff in that office has been eliminated to just two officials down from roughly 30 since Trump’s inauguration, according to sources.

Trump apparently has very little need for people to keep an eye on public integrity.

The move appears to be part of a broader Trump administration effort to weaken or altogether dismantle guardrails designed to protect good government and fair play in business and politics.

Former CIA boss, ex-FBI officials subpoenaed in DOJ probe, Fox News Digital reports​

The name, email address, and home address of Republican state Rep. Bryan Posthumus of Kent County, along with a credit card bearing his name, appear in data from Ashley Madison, a website for people seeking affairs.

Posthumus’s personal information also shows up on two other adult hookup websites — AdultFriendFinder and Fling.com, a pornographic dating site that features live web cams and promised users they could “find sex” and “get laid tonight.”

The 2015 Ashley Madison hack exposed the personal information of more than 30 million users of the infidelity website, which was explicitly marketed to married people seeking affairs under the slogan, “Life is short. Have an affair.”

The Ashley Madison data includes an email address linked to Posthumus and a Lowell home address that he and his then-wife purchased in 2011, as well as a credit card bearing his name.

His former wife, Stacy Posthumus, filed for divorce in early 2014, according to court records.

The adult hookup websites stand in stark contrast to the man who has built his image around God, morality, and “traditional family values.” In 2022, the Christian Coalition of Michigan named him its “Friend of the Family Award” for his “strong defense of family values.” In accepting the award, Posthumus said he was “honored to receive this recognition.”

In his attorney’s letter to Metro Times, Burns accused the publication of trying to “weaponize unverified, anonymous data dumps” and claimed that “a disgruntled former employee” or political opponent could have created the accounts. It also described the reporting as a “thinly veiled political attack masquerading as journalism.”

However, the Ashley Madison account was created nearly a decade before Posthumus was first elected to public office.

Last month, Metro Times revealed that Republican state Rep. Josh Schriver, R-Oxford, who introduced legislation in September to ban online pornography statewide, appeared on Fling.com. The leaked information, verified by the cybersecurity database SnusBase... The account was last accessed on Sept. 11, 2010, according to breach data.

Schriver denied having a Fling.com account.

I've been going back and forth on this topic for a few years now and I'm not sure how to rectify some stuff when it comes to end-time prophecy. I'd love to hear some arguments for and against or even going in a weird direction...

1. 144,000

• 12 tribes are listed and the ones that had idolatry issues are excluded. This gives the idea that the 12 tribes listed are the purified ones essentially, so as a "whole" status.
• They are called first fruits (Which using the farming term, they would be the first saved/protected during the trib before the rest of the harvest comes in)

Now, it makes sense to me that the church as a group would be considered apart of the 144,000 due to:

• Us being grafted in
• Ethnicity was done away with (there is neither jew nor gentile)
• The only ones who are saved are saved through Christ
• If only ethnic Jews are considered part of the 144,000, then you're essentially saying no gentile could be a "first fruit"
• If this is only ethnic Jews, then you're saying God is going back to favor ethnicity over spiritual wholeness and Pauls analogies no longer apply
• If this is only ethnic Jews then the idea that there is a 2 class system emerges where God favors ethnic Jews over gentiles.

2. So the fact that 144,000 incorporates everyone within God's tree makes sense apart from 1 problem...

• What tribe are the gentiles apart of?

So how do you rectify the two, or cant you?

Side note:
I don't subscribe to the idea that the "church" just doesn't exist in the trib because that's essentially saying you're tossing out the entire new testament. People are going to be saved during this time period, they just might not live through it. So if the "church" represents the new covenant of people turning to Christ, then it will always be around.

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

Picture this: Six days drowning in the profane—work, worries, world. Then Sunday dawns, and God Himself yanks you across the threshold into the divine sanctuary. One shepherd nailed it: “We move from the profane into the divine.”

But here’s the rub: It’s not your alarm clock or coffee that gets you there. It’s sovereign grace. The Spirit who elected you before time (Eph 1:4) now calls you out of the curse into Christ’s rest (Heb 4:9-10). The Lord’s Day isn’t optional—it’s the weekly portal where sinners meet the Savior in Word and sacrament.

Quick Hits to Chew On:

1. Profane Left Behind: Creation groans six days; resurrection claims the seventh (Rom 8:22).
2. Divine Threshold: You don’t stumble in—God ushers the regenerate (John 6:44).
3. Sanctuary Foretaste: Heaven leaks through pulpit and table. Skip it, and you starve your soul.

When’s the last time crossing those doors felt like stepping into glory—not just another checkbox? What pulls you away?

Spill your story below. Let’s stir each other to treasure the Lord’s Day like the Reformers did (Heb 10:25).

Soli Deo Gloria,

The Supreme Court on Thursday reinstated the Trump administration’s mandate that passports must identify individuals by their biological sex.

The High Court paused a lower court’s ruling that blocked the passport policy from being implemented while it is adjudicated in the courts.

“Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth – in both cases, the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment,” the court said in an unsigned order.

The three liberal justices dissented.

The policy is born out of President Trump’s day one executive order that requires the federal government to only recognize two sexes. The order also declares that sex is not changeable.

Let's just say this one person is a very animated, gregarious person. They tend to lead the table by talking almost constantly. They seem civil if not cordial, but it also seems that everything that comes out of their mouth is talking about someone. They don't necessarily talk bad about someone (though I don't know them enough to say this), but they're ALWAYS mentioning someone's name in practically every other sentence. It makes me wonder, is this too similar to gossip, or is this more excusable?

An art exhibit featuring a realistic, half-size sculpture of President Donald Trump sporting an orange jumpsuit while strapped to a cross-shaped execution gurney is on display in Switzerland this month.

The sculpture by British artist Mason Storm, titled "Saint or Sinner?," depicts Trump tied to the cross with his eyes closed and head tilted to the right, as if he just underwent a lethal injection.

The work, which was displayed earlier this year in Vienna, Austria, has been featured by the Gleis 4 gallery in Basel since Saturday and will be shown in the northern Swiss city until mid-November, according to the Agence France Presse.

The sculpture was reportedly originally slated to be installed in September at the gallery's more public space in Basel's central train station, but concerns about backlash led to its installation along the Basler Kunstmeile, a pedestrian walkway in the city center.

Pundits are already declaring the handwriting is on the wall for Republicans heading into next year’s midterms, as Democrats and socialists celebrated victories in several off-year races.

What are these entreaties, prayers, and petitions? They can be requests to God for some kind of answers to our questions, or for his guidance in our decision making, i.e. in what direction to go, or for some kind of action to be taken, or for his grace, mercy, strength and wisdom to help us and others in times of need. And it can be praying for the salvation of loved ones or other people we know, or for people we don’t know but who are in positions of authority over other people in the nations of the world, or in the church.

But when we pray, and when we petition our Lord, what we ask for should align with the Scriptures and should not be contradictory to the Scriptures. And when we pray for other people we should have some kind of knowledge of who they are, and what they are about, and regarding their needs or the things that they do. It should take into account their moral character, too. And if they profess faith in Jesus Christ, see what evidence in their character and behaviors supports that they truly are of biblical faith in the Lord Jesus.

And why is that important? So that we are praying according to the will of God, as best as we understand it, and we are not praying against his will. For example, we do have people in positions of governance in our nations who are not good people in character, and who do not exemplify what it means to be a Christian, even if they profess to be Christians. So we should not pray for their success in what they are doing if what they are doing is pure evil. And so we should pray for wisdom to discern good from evil.

And we should not go by what the news media is telling us, or even by what our leaders are telling us about who they are and what they are doing. For honestly we can’t trust them to tell us the truth, for so many of them are not good people in character and in deed. So many are liars, manipulators, tricksters, and sociopaths who disregard others’ rights, and who are deceitful and aggressive, with a reckless disregard for the safety of others, and who are lacking in true remorse, without conscience. So test the spirits!

[Matthew 7:15-23; Matthew 24:11-24; Luke 6:26; John 10:1-15; Romans 16:17-19; 2 Corinthians 11:3,13-15; Ephesians 4:11-16; Philippians 3:2; 2 Peter 2:1-22; 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22; 1 Timothy 1:3-7; 1 Timothy 6:3-10; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; 1 John 4:1-6; Jude 1:1-25]

So how we pray and what we pray should take into consideration who we are praying for and what they are all about in character, in word, and in deed. For not everyone is who they say they are, sadly so. Many “wolves in sheep’s clothing” and charlatans are among us in positions of power and great influence over the people of the world. And they are government heads, newscasters, pastors of “churches,” CEOs of corporations, famous book authors, and teachers, evangelists, and preachers of the Word of God.

So ask the Lord for wisdom to know who is of God and who is not of God, and who is faking being of God in order to trick, deceive, manipulate, and cause harm to the people of the world. There are many of them! And I am not here to name names, but to bring to our attention that these types of people do exist among us who are not who they profess to be, kind of like the Pharisees of Jesus’ day who Jesus warned his disciples about. And then pray according to the will of God, to the best of your understanding.

[James 1:5-8; James 4:1-10; 1 Peter 3:7; John 15:1-11; 1 John 5:14-15; 1 John 1:5-9; etc.]

The cross

Torture of extreme brutality turned into embodiment of salvation
When the wrath of God was poured out and
cup of curses was drunk to the full
When the justice of God was satisfied and
not any transgressions went unpunished
When the grace of God was withheld and
Jesus was separated from God for the first time

The harmony of divine attributes was manifested
The paradoxical dilemma was reconciled

Sin was fully propitiated and guilt completely atoned for
For His name’s sake, God accomplished this once and for all

Hi, everybody. I haven't posted in a while. Although my fiancé and I have had a home to live in for almost four months now, we still struggle. I only get disability and he's not had a paying job in years. He starts today on a temporary assignment today for which he will eventually get compensated, but it'll take a while. We must provide for ourselves in every way but rent and utilities. I have only a couple of friends who help here and there with donations. I saw on Google that Reddit offers subs where people can ask for donations; I joined the site and eventually got to post, but I made mistakes and was accused of trying to scam people. I have nowhere else left to ask at this time and it's still a long way until the next disability day.

I please want to ask for your urgent prayers that a way to get money in an honest way will become available ASAP.

Thank you, and blessings.

In Christ Jesus, by God-gifted and God-persuaded faith in our Lord Jesus, we have redemption through his blood which was shed for us on that cross. Jesus paid the cost for us to be set free from our slavery (addiction) to sin so that we will now walk in holiness and in righteousness in obedience to his commands, in the power of God. For he bought us back for God out of our bondage to sin so that we will no longer serve sin, but so that we will serve God with our lives. We are not just forgiven, but we are delivered from sin.

For God’s grace, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for Jesus’ return. For Christ “gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.” “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (See Titus 2:11-14; Ephesians 2:8-10)

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

And that is the will of God for our lives. For our salvation from sin is not just about being forgiven our sins so that when we die we get to go to heaven, but it is about being set free from our slavery to sin so that we will no longer serve sin, but so we will now serve God with our lives in surrender to his will and to his purpose for our lives. For even before God created the world he predestined that we should be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ and that we should be holy and blameless before him (see Romans 8:29; Ephesians 1:3-4).

God is now to be Owner-Master (Lord) of our lives, and our lives are to be surrendered to him to doing his will. He should be the one guiding and directing our lives, and not us, and not our flesh, and not other humans, either. Certainly we can hear the counsel of other humans, and if it is good counsel, and if God approves it, then we can move forward with it. But our dependency should never be in other humans to know and to do what God has purposed for our lives, no matter who they are. For we are all human.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

And we learn in 1 John 1-3 that if we claim that we have fellowship with God, but yet we walk in darkness (sin), we are liars. If we claim that we know God, but we do not obey his commandments, in practice, we are liars. For it is not the one who claims he is “in Christ” who is “in Christ,” but it is the one who has denied self, died with Christ to sin, and who is now walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in practice, and no longer in sin. We have the hope and the promise of eternal life with God in heaven.

And with this all in mind, this is how we are to live our lives from now to eternity. This is not saying that we will be perfect in every way or that we will never sin again (1 John 2:1-2). But we should be living holy lives, pleasing to God, in surrender to his will, in obedience to his commands, and no longer should sin have mastery over our lives. And one day Jesus is going to return to take his faithful bride to be with him for eternity. But all who live in sin and in disobedience will not inherit eternal life with God. Believe this!

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

Oh, to Be Like Thee, Blessed Redeemer

Lyrics by Thomas O. Chisholm, 1897
Music by W. J. Kirkpatrick, 1897

Oh, to be like Thee! blessèd Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer;
Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

Oh, to be like Thee! full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
Seeking the wandering sinner to find.

O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer others to save.

O to be like Thee! while I am pleading,
Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love;
Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
Fit me for life and Heaven above.

Oh, to be like Thee! Oh, to be like Thee,
Blessèd Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

LaToshia Daniels, a woman on trial for the 2019 murder of Brodes Perry, who served as associate pastor at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church in Memphis, Tennessee, claims he seduced her during a counseling session at a previous church and told her that he and his wife were in an open marriage.

Daniels, 46, is on trial for first-degree murder and attempted murder in the April 4, 2019, shooting at the Perrys’ apartment in Collierville, Tennessee. The late pastor’s widow, Tabatha Archie, testified in court on Tuesday that she met Daniels through a church in Little Rock, Arkansas. At the time, Perry, who blogged about his work, was serving as pastor of assimilation at Saint Mark Baptist Church in Little Rock.

“I am a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. I placed my faith, trust, and hope in Him at an early age, realizing that I was a sinner who deserved death, hell, and the grave. But by His amazing grace, and His finished worked [sic] on Calvary’s cross and in a Jerusalem cemetery has purchased my salvation,” Perry declared on his blog.

No longer will these drugs be just for the wealthy.

After I was saved, I attended Baptist churches and non-denominational churches. It seems like at the two Baptist churches, whether it was from leadership or other church members, they had this attitude that once you were saved, you didn't matter anymore. What I mean is that the church has too much of a focus on saving lost people. So if a Christian needs something or wants something, it doesn't matter, because "there are more important things to focus on and there's people going to Hell".

Is this anyone else's experience? Are the pastors and/or leadership being taught something in seminary school/Christian colleges/Bible colleges that is encouraging this kind of behavior? Why is it okay to neglect other parts of the church because "people are going to Hell and need to hear the Gospel"?
