• “The winning formula for President Trump,” his White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said on Fox Business, “is fewer insults, more insights.”
• Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro, recently released from prison and now guest hosting the show of another former Trump adviser, Stephen K. Bannon, while he does his stint in prison, told viewers: “When Trump attacks Harris personally rather than on policy, Harris’s support among swing voters rises.”
• Deposed House speaker Kevin McCarthy proposed that Trump “make this race not on personalities. Stop questioning the size of her crowds.”
• Vanquished Trump primary opponent turned Trump supporter Nikki Haley added that his campaign “is not going to win talking about what race Kamala Harris is. It’s not going to win talking about whether she is dumb.”
• Another primary opponent turned supporter, Vivek Ramaswamy, told Politico that he had advised Trump to “shift the focus to policy.”
• And longtime GOP pollster Frank Luntz told CNN that “if it’s about attributes, Harris is much more likely to be successful, because, quite frankly, people like her more than they like him.”

The name-calling Trump does is childish and many of his insults come from a school playground. Add to the conspiracy theories and untruths. It is no wonder that globally he is regarded negatively.

Evangelicals for Harris Support Candidate Who ‘Better Reflects Christian Values’


A group called Evangelicals for Harris has formed to back Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat, in her run for president. As part of their “Christian belief in the common good,” supporters urge people to reject Donald Trump, the Republican candidate and 45th U.S. president.

On social media, Evangelicals for Harris is publicizing an upcoming Zoom call for “fellowship and action.” The speaker lineup for the Aug. 14 event includes Dwight McKissic, Jemar Tisby, and Raymond Chang. “All Christians and people of good will” are invited to join the call and exercise “our God-given citizenship by voting for someone who better reflects Christian values.”

Evangelicals for Harris: VP Is Christian, Respects Other Faiths​

According to a July 24 press release, the Rev. Jim Ball founded both Evangelicals for Harris and, during the 2020 presidential campaign, Evangelicals for Biden. “Kamala Harris knows how to stand up to and stare down bullies,” Ball said. “We’re going to win, and she will make a terrific president. Tough on bad guys. Compassionate for those in need. Ready to unite our country.” The VP’s policies are “pro-family” and “pro-environment,” Ball added.

On its website, Evangelicals for Harris highlights “Kamala’s Faith Story.” The group recaps her Baptist background, her “calling” to public service, and her “great respect for other faith traditions,” including Hinduism and Judaism. Harris’s favorite Bible verse, according to the group, is 2 Corinthians 5:7, about walking by faith, not sight.

Evangelicals for Harris notes that the VP, “a deeply committed and faithful Christian,” supports religious liberty and separation of church and state. It quotes her as saying, “Like many people of faith, I have private conversations with God where I usually ask for the strength and protection to make good decisions and do the right thing.”

In response to pro-Trump comments online, Evangelicals for Harris contrasts each candidate’s supporters. “Too much of the Church has been consumed by worship of Trump and the false prophets that deify him,” the group stated. “We support Harris but she is not our savior. See the difference?”

Faith Leaders Stump for Kamala Harris​

One scheduled speaker for Wednesday’s online event is Dwight McKissic, senior pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas. On Aug. 11, he posted, “Anyone who has, or plan to vote for Donald J. Trump has absolutely no moral authority…as in none, zero, nada…to question the morality or immorality of the Democrat presidential nominee or their platform.”

Last month, McKissic wrote about a developing “coalition of the least, the last, the locked out, the disfavored, the disinherited, the rejected, the ridiculed, and those who can empathize, identify with, or who understand that to heal America, we have to heal the historic wounds of alienation, separation, division, and devaluing.”

Harris, added McKissic, “represents all of us who fall under the category of the rejected, and those who desire to heal, help, and welcome us to a seat at the table, even sitting in the chair designated for the POTUS.”

Professor Jemar Tisby, a former pastor, posted about the Aug. 14 Zoom call, “Democracy itself is on the line, so I will be, too.”

About his support for Evangelicals for Harris, pastor and activist Raymond Chang wrote, “You don’t have to stand with everything that a politician stands for in order to support them or back them. There are Christians doing this with both parties.”

“If your support is unwavering loyalty, that’s a different thing,” he added. “You should be able to say, ‘I disagree with them, but I still support them because I think they are better for the nation as a whole.’”

Some church leaders have voiced harsh criticism for Evangelicals for Harris, specifically noting Harris’s positions on abortion and LGBTQ+ issues. Denny Burk, president of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, took issue with the group’s description of the vice president as a “deeply committed and faithful Christian.”

“This isn’t evangelical. It’s not even Christian. Don’t fall for it,” he said.

Pastor Darrell B. Harrison expressed a similar view: “Harris, taking into account her own words, is, at best, a moralist-humanist-globalist and, at worst, a religious syncretist-pluralist.

I need perspective on this please.

In the past year, I've opened my heart to the Lord. It's objectively made my life better and I have Jesus to thank for that.

Although this seems to be a particularly political issue, it's been well documented that like the US, Europe is facing it's own issues in terms of mass immigration and rising crime.

For a long time, I was indifferent to immigration, after all my own Mother was an immigrant. In the past few years, I've witnessed the consequences that unchecked immigration brings and the affect that has on local crime. It bothers me because the political establishment wants you to believe we live in some sort of melting pot utopia and the police are limited as to what they can do. They practically have to wait until something tragic has happened, to even make a statement.

As a family man, I fear for my children's future. As a relatively new Christian, I'm seeking guidance in how I can keep my heart from hate. In the past, I realised in myself how I was beginning to hate others I didn't know just based on the assumption that they're immigrants, I know that's wrong but it's a survival mechanism at the end of the day. In any case, I pulled away from that and politics in general.

What can I look to in the Bible that will keep me level headed in these uncertain times?

Hi my name is Linda and I was wondering if someone can interpret my dream?

I live near Hoboken, NJ, and recently, a Pride Mass at a local Catholic church stirred a lot of controversy among Catholics.


Personally, I’m politically independent and prefer to assess situations based on context, not ideology. I find both far-left and far-right views often extreme, especially when they enter spaces like churches. Churches should be places of refuge and hope, not political battlegrounds.

That said, I don’t understand why some Christians react so angrily to churches welcoming LGBT individuals. If the goal is to help people find God, isn’t the church precisely where they should be? Who are we to deny anyone the chance to seek faith? If a person struggling with their sexuality is willing to explore a relationship with God—even if they’ve been told He hates them—shouldn’t that be encouraged?

We see churches accepting people with various sins, yet some react harshly to LGBT individuals. Unless a church explicitly endorses actions contrary to its teachings, why object to them extending a hand to those searching for God?

“Miriam, I watched (Sheldon Adelson, her late husband) sitting so proud in the White House when we gave Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom. That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian, it’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version. It’s actually much better, because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor – that’s soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead,” Trump said.

“She gets it and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman, and they’re rated equal,”

I heard excerpts from a recent Vance speech. It seemed naive and out of touch.
Children are a blessing. I had three myself. But we can't just "encourage" without addressing certain factors.
Like family and medical leave (implemented by Walz in Minnesota).
Doubling the child tax credit which temporarily cut child poverty by half.
Affordable daycare and after-school care
Safe schools and serious steps to prevent school shootings
Business policies like flexible hours, telecommuting, etc.
Most of these ideas have been vetoed over and over by Republicans.

An argument I’ve heard Christians is “if you lived in the Holocaust, it’s morally justified to lie about keeping Jews in the attic.” (In case police investigate.)

So I have a thought experiment. Trump is Republican, which is the pro life party. If trump were to campaign and say “I’m not banning the abortion pill”, or “I’m not setting a 15 week ban it’s all up to the states”

And then he wins and in office, starts becoming strict on abortion, is that a sin? He would have lied to get in office, but it would result in less abortion.

So what’s the verdict?

Recently Nagasaki just commemorated its 79th annual event of the bombing of the city. Being a deeply tragic event many nations were invited to participate in the memorial. By tradition all nations that have an embassy in Japan will be invited. And this year 3 nations were left out; Russia, Belarus & Israel. The other G7 ambassadors opted to boycott the memorial because of Israel's exclusion. This much is said officially by these nations. It was all for Israel's optics. The US ambassador even have the gall to said Shiro Suzuki the mayor of Nagasaki is politicizing the event.

I find this very hypocritical from the other nations of G7. They can't divorce themselves from Israel-Gaza conflict for even one day just to commemorate this event with one of their staunchest ally in East Asia. But they have no problem making appearances in other more contentious events such as going to Ukraine or Israel to show solidarity.

It is not hard to see that the Japanese do not want their event to be marred by protests and unwanted disruptions. It is a solemn day for them. It is no secret that activists hijack important events to bolster their own causes. Nagasaki mayor didn't want to deal with such "distractions" and said as much.

Suzuki told reporters that the city had put the decision on hold to ensure the safety of participants and smooth proceedings at the ceremony, given the risk of unexpected incidents and other factors.

Now we know who the other G7 value more in their diplomatic relations and it is not Japan. It is Israel above all even a simple concession for a memorial is asking too much.

Baffling since Japan compared to Israel has caused far way less diplomatic issues and provided US with more economic benefits than many nations - being the single largest holder of US treasury bonds. Not to mention after being stabbed in the back with the Plaza Accords (that started the lost decades), Japan stood by the US and the G7 on majority of their international positions. The US and other G7 don't value Japan as a true friend.

Written on August 12, 2024: I have been a little under the weather today and I am very tired. We had no plans for today, so I have been resting up a bit. When I was up for a little while, and my husband and I were talking, the subject somehow went to the songs that the Lord had given me to write, and I mentioned how I had listened to one today that I had totally forgotten existed, for I don’t take the time to go back and listen to them anymore. So he encouraged me that I should do that. So as I was resting, I began listening to those songs.

All of a sudden, I recognized that I was listening to the very first song that the Lord had given me to write on April 6, 2011. Now, before he gave me this song to write, I had not really written songs other than whatever I had to write in one of my music classes in high school and college, and other than me putting a tune to a poem that I had written back in the 1980s. Yet, my husband had been encouraging me for years to write my own songs, but I kept telling him that it was not my gift, which at that time it definitely was not.

Then, on April 6, 2011, all of a sudden I had a tune in my head and I knew that I was to write it down, so I did. And then I asked the Lord for words, and he gave me the words to go with the tune, but just one verse. Later in the day I asked him if he had more words, and he gave me the second verse. Now it had been 40 years since I had last studied music, and I really had no clue what to do with this song or how to communicate it with others, or who I could get to sing it, for I had not really sung much at all for maybe 2 years.

Long story short, I ended up singing all but one of them, because I had no one else to sing them, and I needed to be able to share them, although my voice had certainly met better days. My husband sang with me in a few of them and our daughter sang one of them. But I had to learn how to write them in a format to where they could be recorded, and I had to learn how to record them and then how to share them with others, and that was a long process of learning all sorts of things I had no clue how to do previously. But with the help of my husband and some of my children and two in-law children I learned what I needed. And it was the Lord who strengthened and helped me all throughout this process or I would have never survived it all.

Now, back to the beginning. I was listening to these songs today when the very first song the Lord had given me to write began to play, “Gracious Father.” And the day that he gave me that song I was thrilled beyond measure that he had given me just that one song, for that was a miracle of God! But now back to today, the song that came next I recognized as the very last song the Lord had me write, “When I Was Walking,” dated January 16, 2020.

And as I thought about that for a moment, I realized that he had just taken me “from beginning to end” with just those two songs (a total of 185). For he was showing me the first and the last, the beginning and the end, who is God. He was showing me God, in other words, because all of these songs which were written were not written by me, in reality, but by God, and then he just shared them with me for me to share with others for their encouragement. And he gave me all the tools I needed to do his work.


And then I went to where I had left off last in my reading of 2 Corinthians, and the above passage of Scripture is what came next, perfectly in tune with what the Lord had just given me to share with all of you. For what the Lord was having me share with you, prior to me reading this passage, was that the ministry of song writing that he gave to me was from him and not from my human flesh, and I can definitely attest to that. Certainly I had to participate in the process, but it was all under the direction of the Lord.

And that is how it should be for all of us who are ministers for the Lord Jesus and for his gospel message. Not one of us should be operating in our own flesh, doing whatever we decide to do, but we should all be led of the Holy Spirit and we should speak or write or sing or whatever he has us doing as we are inspired and guided by the Spirit of God living within us so that we are giving out His messages and not our own. Again, we still have to do the work, and we still have to participate in the process, but by the Spirit of God.

And, yes, all of us who are doing the work of the ministry, under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit, will face criticism and false judgments from other people, some of whom may accuse us of operating in the flesh and/or of promoting our own flesh. But we can’t let the opinions of other people affect what we do in love response to our Lord Jesus and in obedience to his calling upon our lives. I have to write and publish each day whatever the Lord gives me to share, regardless of how others respond.

When I Was Walking

An Original Work / January 16, 2020

When I was walking along the way,
My Lord was with me, and He did say,
“My child I’m with you. I hear you pray,
‘Oh, help me, Lord! Need You today!’”

He is my friend, near to the end.
Gently leads me. His servant be.
He helps me pray – knows what to say.
He’s all I need. On Him I feed.

When I am wond’ring of what to do,
He gently leads me to what is truth.
He is my helper. He strengthens me.
When I’m in want, supplies my need.

He comforts me with all His love.
Gives me His grace from heav’n above.
I heed His call to watch and pray,
To guard my heart throughout each day.

When He is calling to come to Him,
To let Him lead you, trust Him within,
How will you answer to Him today?
Will you say, “Yes, Lord, have your way”?

Do not neglect to let Him in,
Cleanse you from sin, made new within.
Leave all your sin, obey your Lord,
Trust in His Word – His mighty Sword.

Asking for prayer for my stepdad. He had a stroke a couple years ago and his brain is still messed up. I praise God that He helped him to survive it though.

Too many family members in the Trump campaign. He needs someone to keep him on message, instead of complaining about what Kamala/ Biden/ the media are doing/ not doing.

It WAS his election to lose.

Hi everyone!

This is a short and simple question.For someone like me I hate arguing and belittling back and forth with someone.I hate it when someone is angry or upset with me.
I’ve grown up through my adolescence solemnly promising to love my future wife so much i wouldn’t want to hurt her emotionally,psychologically,spiritually,and/oe physically.

My father has always been a man with a temper,and as long as I can remember he has numerous times lost his temper,cussed,screamed,berated,and even broke things.He has made my mom cry a lot of times,but nothing ever physical or substance-induced

Being a guy seeing my own father upset my mother to the point she cries breaks my heart,so I told myself one day many years ago,I would “never even raise my voice at my wife ever for any reason”
I hate arguing and considering how much I wish to cherish my wife affectionately and passionately I don’t want to hurt or belittle her with arguing

Unfortunately all the sources I read stats healthy marriages have arguments or disagreements,and ones that don’t often end in divorce and I don’t want that.

What’s your perspectives everyone?

I dont like the idea of arguing with my beloved wife,but if my marriage in the future is to be healthy,do I have to have disagreements?

But in 2006, his campaign repeatedly told the press that he had not been drinking that night, claiming that his failed field sobriety test was due to a misunderstanding related to hearing loss from his time in the National Guard. The campaign also claimed that Walz was allowed to drive himself to jail that night.

None of that was true.

UK decides that nurses can refuse to treat "racists".


I mean....the hippocratic oath is actually a pretty good oath in my opinion. It's been an ethical guide for a long time.

Is it actually gone in the UK?

How bad does it have to get?

Harris campaign spokesman Michael Tyler was asked on CNN whether Harris would commit to a press conference before the end of the month. He actually laughed, then replied, “We will commit to directly engage with the voters that are actually going to decide this election. … We are running a campaign that is built to communicate with the voters that are actually going to decide the pathway to 270 electoral votes. We are confident in the plan that we have in place, and we’re going to execute on that plan.”

What he means by “we are confident in the plan” is that she is not going to answer any questions. None. She will not be out in public answering questions. Hide her. Stow her. Make sure she never says anything.

Because here’s the truth: Kamala Harris is not smart. The truth is, the minute you get her off the teleprompter, she is a mess of a human being.

I do not believe this has been discussed. So I thought I would pose the question that got me thinking.

Daniel and Revelation talks about ten kingdoms. There's been a lot of debate about what the ten kingdoms might be. Is it talking about the whole world? If it is, how could it be with only seven continents? Would some some of the continents like Europe and Asian be broken up?

So what could Daniel and Revelation be referring to when it talks about ten kingdoms in the last days?"

Vice President Harris is set to announce a plan to lower housing costs and end the housing shortage through the construction of new units and down payment support to first-time homebuyers, according to Harris-Walz campaign officials.

Harris’s “urgent and comprehensive four-year plan” will call for constructing 3 million new housing units, a tax incentive for homebuilders to construct “starter homes” to sell to first-time homebuyers and a $40 billion innovation fund for local governments to build housing.

The plan would also include $25,000 in down payment support for first-time homeowners.

I am seeing a show in a couple weeks and one of my family members purchased the tickets for me. I know I should have researched the show before hand but the tickets were bought in a rush and I did not have time to do some research. Some people that I know have seen the show before that are christian and had no issues with it. I was researching more about it and saw some unbiblical themes like the repeated use of profanity. Im not sure what to do. If God is telling me not go to this I do not want to but I cant afford to pay the person back for the ticket they got me. What should I do in this situation?

Note: This listing of verses as taken me a few years to gather. When I find an appropriate verse I just add it to the listing.

God's holy inspired Word has several characteristics that guarantee powerful results. First, it is infused with the power of the Holy Spirit. Second, God's word is truth. It awakens our conscience. With the power to reach into the private corners of our hearts, the Word bares our motives and secret feelings and reveals our hidden longings. Third, God's Word discerns our true character. It exposes the weakness in our attitudes and conduct, enabling us to correct ourselves by the power of His Holy Spirit.

(1) The Word is always powerful to save in itself;

(2) The Spirit is always at work through the Word; it is perpetual union. There is no Spiritless Word.

The Spirit through the Word as his instrument is the efficient cause our conversion and of all spiritual activity in man. The Spirit is the power behind the proclaimed Word. When we speak about the Word as a means of grace, we mean that the Spirit uses the Word as a vehicle of his presence and power. Spirit and Word must be understood in relation to one another. The work of the Spirit and the Word are interwoven so much so that it is hard to distinguish where one ends and the other begins.

I Thes 1:5 For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction;

I Corinthians 2:3-5 I also was with you in weakness and fear, and in great trembling and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of mankind, but on the power of God.

I Thes 2:13 For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the Word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.

Acts 10:44 While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the Word.

Galatians 3:2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?

Galatians 3:5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith--

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.”

Romans 10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,

Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the Word of Christ.

John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

Luke 1:37 “For no Word from God will ever fail” (NIV) or “Nothing is impossible with God” (NASB)

Hebrews 4:12 For the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Ephesians 1:13 “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the Word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in who also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.”

1 Peter 1:23-25 ...since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding Word of God; for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the Word of the Lord remains forever." And this Word is the good news that was preached to you.

John 7:38-39 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive;

Is 55:9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.

10 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it bear and sprout,
And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 So will My Word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

John 6:68 Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have Words of eternal life.

John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the Words that I have spoken to you are Spirit and are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.”

John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your Word is truth.

Duet 8:3 He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.

John 15:3-5 Already you are clean because of the Word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

Matthew 17:5 He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.

1 Corinthians 1:21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

James 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the Word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

1 Peter 1:23-25 ...since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding Word of God; for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the Word of the Lord remains forever." And this Word is the good news that was preached to you.

Psalm 33:6 By the Word of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

I Cor 1:21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

Romans 10:14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? 15 How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!” 16 However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ.

Philippians 2:16 holding fast the Word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.

I John 2:5 but whoever keeps His Word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

John 12:48 He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the Word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

2 Thessalonians 2:13–14 13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as first fruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ezekiel 12:25-28 For I the Lord will speak, and whatever Word I speak will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, for in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the Word and perform it,” declares the Lord God.’” 26 Furthermore, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 27 “Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ 28 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “None of My Words will be delayed any longer. Whatever Word I speak will be performed,”’” declares the Lord God.

James 1:21 Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the Word implanted, which is able to save your souls.

John 4:39-42 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the Word of the woman who testified, “He told me all the things that I have done.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 Many more believed because of His word; 42 and they were saying to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world.”

John 20:30 Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

Jeremiah 1:12 Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it.”

Lamentations 2:17 The Lord has done what He purposed; He has accomplished His Word
which He commanded from days of old. He has thrown down without sparing,
And He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you; He has exalted the might of your adversaries.

Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, give attention to my Words; Incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart.
22 For they are life to those who find them; And health to all their body.

Romans 10:8 But what does it say? “The Word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 4:17 (as it is written, “A father of many nations have I made you”) in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.

2 Timothy 4:1 begins with these words. “I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word.”

.Matthew 4:4 “Man shall not live by bread alone but every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

This is a very serious issue and I have to wonder if anyone of y'all are concerned about the security and integrity of the computers and machines used in the voting process.

I wasn’t sure how to phrase my true situation because I felt I would get condemned so sorry for the cryptic-ness.

Everyday I realize more and more just how bad I was and I feel immense guilt. I know what I need to do to repent. I know I need to confess to those who I’ve caused offense to and hurt, and face the consequences, however I’m very scared to. I’m scared because I still feel that in my situation I might die- it may sound silly but it isn’t. I have committed so many offenses in my life and sinned with knowledge of truth. There are many things I want to achieve and do in my life especially repenting. I definitely regret the way I lived but I have no excuse before god because I had knowledge of truth and chose to still reject god later on. I’ve become like one of the bad seeds. I really want to start over, completely but I feel god is done with me. I remember all those times he showed me mercy and I took it for granted because now I’m in enmity of god. I read the book of Romans and what it says about reprobates and it aligns a lot with my life. I don’t even have a good reason for rebelling against god in the first place I just wanted to entertain my sins and now I regret it. I find that I’m also stuck in this slavery to sin, even at times that I don’t want to be. I’ve always disobeyed god and my parents and I’ve always been curious for the wrong things. In my culture that’s what’s considered a cursed person and I definitely feel cursed. I do want to be held accountable and change and I wouldn’t even mind suffering or chastisement from god I just really fear dying and facing those who I’ve caused serious harm to. I’ve also been revealed ti my pastor which has made me realize a lot- it’s definitely given me more incentive to do the right thing but it showed me that even as I’m willing to face the consequences, I’m still scared to. I don’t see any redemption for myself but I know that I need to do the right thing nonetheless.
