"DHS said the Nashville operation resulted in the arrests of a convicted child sex predator, an alleged member of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, an individual convicted of aggravated assault and multiple illegal aliens on drug charges."

To me, getting the criminals mentioned in the above quotation off of the streets makes people safer.

'If you want to pray with them, take them to church,' board member tells Christian colleague

An exchange between school board officials in North Carolina has gone viral after one of the members was met with ridicule after requesting to start the meeting with prayer.

At an April 14 Cabarrus County School Board meeting, board member Melanie Freeman introduced a motion to “include an invocation” to the board’s meeting going forward.

Freeman’s motion was met with indignation from former TV reporter and board member Pam Escobar, who said she is a Christian but questioned the necessity of prayer in a professional setting. "If you put prayer at the beginning of this meeting, I don’t think that’s a welcoming sign to the people who are in this room tonight," she said.

The "I" in the following passage is the writer of Hebrews which is believed to be Paul. He was quoting David in Psalm 40. There David was speaking of himself, but was also prophesying of Jesus. With that understood the "I" in the following passage is you and I also. If they said it, so should we. So that means, as Christians we come in the volume of the Book that is written of us to do thy will oh GOD.

So what Book is written of us?

Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

Ps 40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
Ps 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of me,
Ps 40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart.

How can people believe that the book of Revelation has already happened ?

We've not seen the sun go dark & the moon turning to blood red & all the stars have not fallen to earth yet.
We have not seen the sky scroll back revealing Jesus as every eye shall see him.

So I don't understand a full preterist ???

Am I missing something here ?

Shalom

Can you please pray for one maybe THE richest man on earth, Sheik Muhammad bin Zayid Al Nahyan for salvation and that the Lord make him to a fisher of man and help him to collect his treasure in heaven and not on earth in Jesus name?



Thank you and God bless you because of Lk 6:38 and Job 42:10 in Jesus name Amen.

Hey something that just happened- I was calculating my finances and this came to me, God gave me wisdom in a big way! I have a plan that I think is from God that will get me $100,000 in 1 year, once I have this there are a number of mobile homes in the area for sale for only about $20,000 and they are fairly nice! I may just ditch paying rent for an apartment and just buy a house, then I could save my income rather than using it for rent! After I bought the house I would still have 80 thou in the bank! I was trapped in my current situation with living in Essex House apartments in middletown, PA,, my parents forced me to move in and would not let me leave, but now I have a way out, God just opened the door for me to get out of this! If I have that kind of money my parents won't care, they will let me leave! There are lots of nice places I could move in to, I prefer being out in the country where it is nice and peaceful, I could get a mobile home up on Fishing Creek Valley road north of Harrisburg or on Clarks Valley Road up near Dauphin, they are both a remote area back in the woods but still only like a 15 minute drive from Harrisburg! I also like Halifax, I could move up there!

I will not be defending Dr. Brown here because Dr. Brown is more concerned with uniting around Jesus than defending him.

Slowly but surely I am getting my outside man cave set up. Just installed my reloading presses. Hopefully I'm finished right before I am deployed and have to wait until next year to do anything.

"Multiple people were taken into custody by the New York Police Department at Columbia University after a pro-Palestinian protest in an area of the main library on campus Wednesday.
University officials asked the NYPD for help Wednesday night securing Butler Library “due to the number of individuals participating in the disruption inside and outside of the building, a large group of people attempting to force their way into Butler Library creating a safety hazard, and what we believe to be the significant presence of individuals not affiliated with the University,” acting university President Claire Shipman said in a statement."

We need to quickly deport more, I hope Congress acts to stop radical judges from usurping presidential power.

While a bishop living a life of grave sin could still be a good administrator or social worker, he will seldom be what matters most - a defender of the faith and morals necessary to our salvation.

Many who have written on the needed characteristics of the next pope have said such things as “The next pope needs to call the bishops to proclaim the faith boldly; to restore respect for the sacraments; to unify the polarized elements of the Church.” Few pundits note that purging the Church of the Lavender Mafia, of the homosexual priests and bishops who run the Church, is arguably the most important and the most difficult of all tasks a new pope will face.

Pope Benedict failed to do the cleanup because he was old, frail, and sick—but even more so because the resistance to his efforts was so strong. Pope Francis, through appointments and his protection of bishops accused of sexual abuse and cover-up of abuse, has only strengthened the Lavendar Mafia. See the recent article by Damian Thompson on Francis’ favorable treatment of predators.

Undoubtedly, many Catholics are still oblivious to the dominance of the Lavender Mafia in the Church. The sex abuse crisis has opened the eyes of many, since bishops have been so lax in dealing with sexual abuse. Their weak response shows us that they are not healthy heterosexuals; for if they were, they would be enraged about the abuse in the Church and society and would not have let hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children to have “gone missing.”

He didn’t come to improve us. He came to re-create us and re-define reality. He didn’t come to tweak our game plan. He came so that we could die to everything we were, so that we could be like Him.

“For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me will save it.” (Luke 9:24)

“But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him…” (1 John 3:2)

I don't know why the YouTube algorithm brought this song up, but it did, and it has become one of my favorites since then. Totally Christ exulting, and it has both contemporary worship music elements as well as Gospel music elements. I love worshiping to this song.

Litigation over an Alabama law prohibiting minors from obtaining life-altering sex-change surgeries and hormone drugs has come to an end in what one top elected official in the state is describing as a "generational win."

In a joint stipulation of dismissal filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama's Northern Division on Thursday, the plaintiffs in a case challenging Alabama's ban on gender transition surgeries for minors agreed to dismiss their lawsuit "without costs or fees to any party."

The office of Alabama's Republican Attorney General Steve Marshall elaborated on the implications of this development and the history of the litigation surrounding the law in a statement published Thursday.

I'd be interested to hear how the anti-corruption TrumpFans spin this one. Remember how you were all so worked up about Hunter Biden allegedly trading on access to his father and paying off Joe in return? Here's Trump doing exactly that, out in the open.

Recent trade numbers from Statistics Canada regarding trade between the US and Canada.

Exports to the United States fall​

Meanwhile, exports to countries other than the United States jump​

Just as China since the last Trump trade war actively reduced dependency on US exports, other countries will actively do the same. Yes, America has great demand for foreign products and this trade war is not going to change that. However, countries like businesses need consistency. And you can't get that if American voters put in charge of trade a administration led by a convicted con man who regularly had to file for bankruptcy who has no clue how trade works.

It's starting to look like carelessness...

“If they foreclose on this ministry, they will take my house too, so I’ll be on the street,” he said.

Bakker claimed he hasn’t taken a salary himself and has no money of his own.

“We have a big debt,” he said, adding that an unnamed “they” has “taken millions of dollars from us.”

One of the show’s co-hosts indicated the financial problems began in 2020, when Bakker was in trouble with a number of authorities for hawking “Silver Solution” during the COVID-19 pandemic. In one case, he reached a settlement with the Missouri attorney general that included restitution of $156,000.

In more recent years, Bakker has fashioned himself as something of a doomsday prophet ― saying on Tuesday, for example, that we’re in the “end times” ― and has been selling food buckets and other “prepper” items on his show and website.

Jim Bakker Is Now Using His End Times Broadcast to Warn About Zombies

“Zombies that are on the Earth are a disease like any other disease that affects people, and they become like zombies. Is that right?” Bakker asked.

“That’s only part of the story,” Quayle replied. “Zombies also have the evil spiritual entity known as demon possession.”

“The best way to explain zombies’ blood lust is this: the appetite of demons expressed through humans,” Quayle continued. “It should be astonishing to people that the richest people in the world—not all of them but some of them—are into occult ceremonies where they have to drink blood that’s extracted from a tortured child. Now that’s sick, but that’s the appetite of demons expressed through humans.”

“They can induce zombieism, at least the appetite for human flesh,” he added.

I'm surprised this isn't being talked about more as the illegal immigration arrests have taken precedence.

SCOOP: Trump ally's Gulf of America bill sparks frustration in House GOP​

FIRST ON FOX: A scheduled vote on making President Donald Trump’s Gulf of America name change permanent is causing some heartburn within the House GOP conference.

Multiple House Republicans who spoke with Fox News Digital said they were frustrated by House GOP leaders’ decision to spend time voting on what they saw as a largely symbolic gesture in an otherwise light legislative week. It comes as GOP negotiators work behind the scenes to iron out divisions on Medicaid, tax policy and green energy subsidies in time to pass Trump’s "big, beautiful bill" by the Fourth of July.

But the frustration is not limited to moderate and mainstream Republicans. One conservative GOP lawmaker vented to Fox News Digital, "125 other [executive orders], this is the one we pick" [to enshrine into law].

Meanwhile, Trump allies have defended the bill as a core part of the president's agenda. Trump himself has touted his "Gulf of America" name change several times, and even proclaimed Feb. 9 to be "Gulf of America Day."

The Gulf of America Act was introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., a top Trump ally.

When reached for comment on some GOP lawmakers' concerns, Greene told Fox News Digital, "Codifying the rightful renaming of the Gulf of America isn’t just a priority for me and President Trump, it’s a priority for the American people. American taxpayers fund its protection, our military defends its waters, and American businesses fuel its economy. My bill advances President Trump’s America First agenda."

Rep. Jimmy Patronis, R-Fla., posted on X in support ... "This will be a tremendous economic driver for my district. Families across the country will flock to the Florida Panhandle to be the FIRST to enjoy the Gulf of AMERICA!"

The bill itself.
I think it's a nice touch that the new name comes with scare quotes so you know it's kinda fake.

(a) Renaming.—The Gulf of Mexico shall be known as the “Gulf of America”.

President Donald Trump's State Department has made it a top priority to root out government waste.
On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a statement reflecting on the administration's first 100 days.
He noted that the department "is becoming a leaner machine, eager to deliver for the taxpayers."

Why do so many people oppose weeding out the corruption and waste?

Islamabad, Pakistan / New Delhi, IndiaCNN —
India launched military strikes on targets in Pakistan, both countries said on Wednesday, with Pakistan claiming it had shot down five Indian Air Force jets in response, in a dangerous escalation between the nuclear-armed rivals.

I know a Christian at a conservative church here in Massachusetts. He and his wife want to adopt a child and have to fill out paperwork. One of the questions seems to ask if he supports LGBTQ in relation to child rearing or related. They also ask him about supporting the child’s chosen religion; however he is saying that if he adopts a child then he wants to bring the child to church and he doesn’t really like the other question either. This is the first time I have encountered this type of situation first hand, most everything else has been reading about it online or in the news. I wonder if anyone has any comments or advice or other similar knowledge about this type of thing ?

Someone said a possible answer is:
'”We would seek the advice and counsel of people with appropriate education to guide us.”

I also found some articles about the same type of thing
