I just picked up this power bank off of Amazon, I was playing around with my mini laptop the other day and it turns out I found that the battery life was only 2 hours and 30 minutes from a full charge, terrible! This kills the portability of the laptop, it is small enough to fit in your pocket but the battery life means you have to keep it plugged-in all the time. The power bank should help extend the battery life by alot and it is portable. It is slick, has a nice heavy feel to it, probably weights about 3 pounds.

Controversial street preacher David Grisham shared video this week from inside a Wisconsin Subway restaurant, where an employee acknowledged she was refusing to serve him and three other men. The group, who traveled to the Republican National Convention from Texas, were wearing T-shirts with messages such as “Homo Sex Is Sin, Romans 1” and “Abortion Is Murder.”

Now some Christians are urging Subway to respond; others are threatening to boycott the fast-food chain. “Christophobic bigotry should not be tolerated,” Grisham wrote on Facebook. “Please give Subway corporate a call.”

David Grisham Refused Service at Subway ​

A 30-second video circulating on social media shows Grisham and his companions trying to order sandwiches at a Subway in Waunakee, Wisconsin. When one man asks a female employee, “Are you refusing to serve customers?” she nods. The person filming the encounter says, “I want her to say it again.” The woman then replies, “I am refusing you service.”

So, here we are on July 22, 2024, just a little under 24 hours from when Biden made his historic announcement that he is no longer running for President of the United States and the Democratic Party is in unprecedented chaos. Let's reflect on how we got here.

First, we hear regularly from Democrats how Donald Trump lies about everything. They're not wrong. When Donald Trump is speaking, there's a high probability he's lying as well. But now, Democrats look like GIGANTIC HYPOCRITES. For the last few years, we've been told one of the biggest lies from the Democratic Party. That lie was that Biden was "sharp as a tack" and that he was "the best version" of himself ever. People were saying this as recently as one month ago. Any attempt to point out clearly obvious signs of decline in his mental acuity were met with vociferous claims of RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY! and CHEAP FAKES!. It's a Russian disinformation campaign! The gaslighting was near universal from Democrats and from the legacy media claiming that what you were seeing with your own two eyes was not who Biden really was. Fact-checkers went into overtime concocting explanations for how Biden's obvious cognitive decline wasn't actually real.

That is, until June 27, 2024. Biden took the debate stage and laid bare for the entire world to see just how far his mental state had declined. Almost instantaneously, the entire Democratic Party and the legacy media turned on a dime. Suddenly, they were willing to admit what just about everyone else had been saying all along, that Biden was not fit for another term in office. He must step down. There's no way he can win. His path to victory is gone. For over 3 weeks, there was a relentless pressure campaign on Biden to admit that he was not fit for another term in office. The lies that we had been fed about him being "sharp as a tack" were no longer tenable. And so yesterday, July 21, 2024, Biden dropped out of the race citing what was best for his party and the country, and yes, he gave his party top-billing over the country when talking about what was best. Worse, he didn't even make an appearance. He simply tweeted out a letter on X announcing his decision and said in the letter that there'd be more details later this week.

The Democrats LIED about Biden's mental acuity for years. The legacy media was 100% complicit. They want you to believe that Biden just collapsed in the debate. Actually, first they wanted you to believe that he had a cold and just had a "bad night". But when those narratives fell through, they were left with nothing.

And now, the Democrats are circumventing the democratic process entirely to "save democracy" they say. Despite the fact that Joe Biden overwhelmingly won ALL of the primaries, the Democrats are content to toss those elections aside and instill whoever it is they like. The right time for Biden to announce he wasn't seeking re-election was BEFORE the primaries, so that the voters would be able to select their candidate. But because it was necessary to keep up the big lie that Biden was mentally fit for another term, they ran him and kept repeating the big lie that he was "sharp as a tack" to put themselves in this mess.

They're still not completely admitting the lie. They can't say that Biden isn't seeking re-election because he is mentally unfit, because if he's mentally unfit for another term, then he's certainly mentally unfit to be running the country NOW. So they simply say it's for the good of their party and the country. So they simply say he's not seeking re-election for the good his party. In other words, we're losing, we know it, so we're going to do whatever we need to do to cling to power.

And of course, all of the Democrats that were just 24 hours prior talking about how awful Biden was and how he had to go were suddenly awash with praise for the man when he announced he would end his bid for the presidency. He's a "selfless hero" and a "patriot" now that he's stepped aside conceded to the intense pressure campaign to run him off and begrudgingly went kicking and screaming.

The Democratic Party has been propagating a massive lie for years that has now placed them in this impossible situation where they must disenfranchise primary voters to "save democracy". It will be interesting to watch how the party spins this, but you can bet your bottom dollar that it will almost certainly involved more big lies.

What resources would you recommend for those wanting a full understanding of the first council of Nicaea? Primary sources from the period preferred, but other historical and theological works could also be listed.

This poll is mostly for the Democrats here. I'm interested to see in who you would pick to replace Biden. If it's someone not listed, please share below. This is a sincere post

Was Vice President Harris aware of President Biden’s decline?

If she was, what does that say about her, especially since she said she would say something to the American people if the president declined too far.

If she wasn’t, is she really the person to lead this country?

After the resurrection, near the end of the book of Matthew, Jesus said in 28:

16 Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.

Some realized Jesus' divinity.

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

Between the time he was born and died, his authority was limited. After the resurrection, he resumed his full divine authority.

9 Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

If Jesus had all authority with Father from the beginning, why was more authority given to him in Mt 28:18?

Jesus' authority as a man was temporarily limited. After the resurrection, he resumed his full divine authority.

I find myself currently struggling with holding on to old ideas that no longer serve purpose in my life right now. My question is does having little faith make me less of a Christian? I know and I pray to god that my previous beliefs which are hindering my progress in developing as a mature Christian be extinguished. I'm inquiring to know how faith and sin intertwine as it pertains to the bible? I'm new on my spiritual journey.

My name of Johnny Wewoka--- it's my first time here.

The actions of the Biden administration once again create a dangerous situation for their political opponents.

Greetings all. Looking for some advice from fellow Believers alike. My niece asked me recently to marry her. While I was overcome with excitement, I had to step back and talk to my wife about it. We are Christians first and foremost. She mentioned that she was torn due to my niece and her Sue to be husband not Believers and not getting married in a church. They asked another couple, however they declined for a religious reasons. While I love my niece and her fiance too, I'm torn with the morality of the situation. Any advice?

I’m feeling absolutely heartbroken right now. Feeling like everything I have done has been all for nothing. I’m beyond worried about someone I truly love and care for. I have no way to contact them but I’m worried it’s going to affect our relationship. I’m just trying to keep my head above water but I want to just lay in bed and cry.

Claims that she was aware of Biden's decline; and so she is responsible for this nation's decline.

My church removes members if they are dating non-Christians especially after they remain dating them after being told not to.

Is that right ? Or should something else should be done

NOTE: I know it’s not wise to be in romantic relationships with nonbelievers

This poll is about whether you IN GENERAL align yourself with or against what is commonly referred to as the prosperity gospel. I say in general because I know we all have our each individual convictions and it is often impossible for us to say we are fully with or against anything. But if you were forced to choose, if a line was drawn in the sand and you were forced to choose to align yourself either with or against it which would you choose?

For those of you who do not know what the term means it is often associated with teaching from preachers such as Joel Osteen, Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland. So if you like to listen to any of them you are likely in support of the prosperity Gospel.

In two weeks I will make the results public so please keep posting comments to keep the thread alive but as always please keep your comments respectful and polite towards others opinions.

Just heard it on the news. He will finish his term.

I’m in need of prayers, though I’m not sure if god will listen. I can’t really put it in words well but I crossed the line with god. I’ve gotten some advice but I don’t feel reassured and I know I’m not anyone’s responsibility on here or anything but it’s the only help I can get.





God isn’t drawing me or chastening me which i used to want. I resisted conviction almost everytime and pushed god out of my mind completely. God warned me of a specific sin and I didn’t listen. I ended up giving myself completely to this sin and I threw away my possible relationship with God.



I’ve committed abominations which anyone would condemn if I said them out loud which is why I’m being so vague. I feel that I’ve rejected god too many times and now I’ve been given over to my own destruction. I’m only coming to my senses because I chose to. I was somewhat aware of my spiritual situation but I ignored it thinking eventually the Holy Spirit would come back and god would tolerate my sins.



Now that I’m reaping what I’ve sown and facing consequences of my sin I’m trying to come back to god. I don’t want to die in my sins and I don’t want to be like this anymore. The thing is I don’t think I genuinely want to change. God has given me a lifetime of chances and I rejected every one. My sins have hurt others and done a lot of damage so I don’t see any forgiveness for me.





I feel judgement has already been made and my heart has been permanently hardened. I know this sounds accusing but I think I may be sealed in my hardness of heart like pharaoh. I thought I was saved during everything but I wasn’t. I haven’t felt the Holy Spirit’s presence.



I’ve tried to bear fruits and be good but it’s really obvious that’s I bear bad fruits and I’m not.





In the end I’m to blame but I wish I’d responded to god’s calls earlier.

Joe Biden is a wonderful man and will be remembered as a successful President. He endorces Harris. There is a lot of excitement about her as a candidate for President.

Guys and gals, Joe Biden will step down after 2024. Hopefully, we can get someone younger, and more in the center. This is breaking news, so I will update you guys quickly. As a guy nearer to the center, this could be the change the US needs. Or, maybe we should vote for Peter Sonski, the pro-life, pro-environment and pro-family candidate. Now, if Trump could peacefully step down in 2024, and both parties have new, young candidates, that would be even better.

Quote from Newsweek: "This announcement marks a significant shift in the political landscape as the Democratic Party must now quickly organize to select a new nominee before August 7, 2024."

Note: Newsweek has a centrist perspective, according to Allsides.

Will there be a speedy primary will the powers that be select someone behind closed doors? Will they be able to make it on all the tickets?

Just heard it on the news. He will finish his term.
