A father of five who was sedated in the hospital after he was shot in the face twice by a gunman at Richmond Road Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky, recently learned his wife did not survive the attack as he regained consciousness at a local hospital.

The father, Randy Combs, was among four people shot by the late 47-year-old Guy House, who went on a shooting rampage at the church after he shot and injured Kentucky State Police trooper Jude Remilien at the Blue Grass Airport on July 13.

Randy Combs and the church's pastor, Jerry Gumm, both survived their gunshot wounds. Combs' wife, 32-year-old Christina Combs, and her mother, 72-year-old Beverly Gumm, who is also the pastor's wife, were killed.

Others believe the "he" in the verse refers to Jesus, who establishes a new covenant with humanity through his sacrifice. I guess we’ll have to wait and see who’s right.

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Hulk Hogan, the mustachioed, headscarf-wearing, bicep-busting icon of professional wrestling who turned the sport into a massive business and stretched his cultural influence far beyond the ring, died Thursday in Florida at age 71.

Wild. Good theology never sells...goats are fed and entertained while sheep starve.

Tariffs on imported cars and auto parts cost General Motors $1.1 billion in the second quarter, the nation’s largest automaker said Tuesday.

That hit to its bottom line was largely responsible for a 21% drop in net income for the period. The company said it expects tariffs to cost it between $4 billion to $5 billion by year’s end.


The industry so far has been able to weather those costs and remain profitable without raising car prices, in large part because it already has a backlog of vehicles built or imported before tariffs took hold.

Not MS13 and also not a terrorist. The character assassination of this poor man along with his repeated mistreatment by this administration has been absolutely disgusting.

All things are possible with God. It's just that some people are not pleased with the way He did some of it.

The testimonies of God are the Holy Scriptures (Genesis to Revelation). They include God’s commandments (Old Covenant and New Covenant) for his people to obey. We who believe in Jesus Christ obey his commands to us under the New Covenant God has with his people Israel today, consisting of both Jew and Gentile by physical birth who have trusted in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives. We are the body of Christ, his church.

But Lord means that he is now Owner-Master of our lives, and our lives are now surrendered to him to do his will, committed to obey our Lord in all his ways. And Savior means that he has saved us out of our lives of slavery to sin so we will now follow him in obedience to his commands, and we will no longer walk in sin, making sin our practice. Now righteousness, holiness, moral purity, and obedience to our Lord are what we are living, in practice.

And not only are we to be living the word of God in our daily lives, but we are to be messengers of the Lord who take the message of his gospel to the people of the world. But the gospel message that we should be sharing with the people of the world is not the one which is so popularized in the USA today. But it is the one taught by Jesus and by his New Testament apostles in the New Testament Scriptures, taught in the correct biblical context.

So, what the psalmist described here about the Scriptures, and about his relationship with God, is so fitting to what our relationships with Jesus Christ should look like today, and how we should be viewing the Scriptures with regard to how we should be applying their teachings to our daily walks of faith in obedience to our Lord and to his commands. For he loved the Lord’s commands, and he obeyed the Lord and his commands, in life practice.

And this also parallels over to what Jesus and his New Testament apostles taught as the gospel of our salvation. For faith in Jesus Christ, which is biblical faith, will result in us obeying the commandments of God, in practice, and in us dying with him to sin, and us now living in holiness and in righteousness, and no longer as slaves to sin. For Jesus Christ truly is the Master of our lives, and our lives are committed to walking in his ways.

So we need to understand that faith in Jesus Christ, which is biblical, will result in us dying with Christ to sin, and us walking (in conduct) in obedience to our Lord and to his commandments, in practice, no longer as slaves to sin, but now as servants of the Lord who are doing his will, and who are sharing the truth of the gospel with others for their salvation. For if sin is what we practice, and not obedience to God, we don’t have life with God.

The Spirit of the Sov’reign Lord on me;
Anointed to preach the Good News;
Sent me to bind up the brokenhearted;
Proclaim freedom for the captives.
He sent me to preach release for pris’ners
Who are walking in sin’s darkness;
Proclaim God’s grace to all men who’ll listen;
And tell them about God’s judgments;
Comfort all who mourn;
Give crowns of beauty;
Oil of gladness and thanksgiving.

They will be called oaks of God’s righteousness,
A planting of our Savior, God,
For the display of our Lord’s splendor, and
They will rebuild God’s holy church.
God will renew them, and will restore them,
And you’ll be called priests of the Lord.
You will be ministers of our God, and
You will rejoice in salvation.
The Lord loves justice;
He is faithful to
Reward those who are seeking Him.

I delight greatly in the Lord;
My soul rejoices in my Savior, God.
He has clothed me with His salvation,
And in a robe of His righteousness.
He has given me priestly garments to wear,
As the bride of Jesus Christ.
As the garden of our Lord and Savior,
He causes us to grow in Him.
He makes righteousness,
Praise, and thanksgiving
Spring up before all the nations.

There is no escaping the influence of religion upon politics. Even atheism and or secular humanism are religions. The assumptions and or presumptions of which, will unquestionably affect one's political views and or actions. To deny any connection between the many battles for freedom of religion leading up to and during the formation of this nation, is simply to choose to be ignorant of a great many facts. Nevertheless, we all have the freedom to choose to believe whatever we wish. Which exact freedom has been and still is contested in many places and times throughout history. This being a most basic foundation of freedom, so many others are based upon.

It is a small matter indeed, to provide many writings from our Founding Fathers, addressing their religious views which most obviously affected their politics. Which I would be happy to provide, should you be interested.

Welcome and have a blessed trip in CF.

Edison offers to pay Eaton fire victims for damages, in move to avoid litigation​

• Edison said it planned to launch a Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program this fall that would be open to those who lost homes, businesses or rental properties in the fire. It would also accept claims for injuries and fatalities.
• An attorney representing fire victims criticized the plans, saying it could lead to victims being shortchanged.

Seeking to avoid lengthy litigation, Southern California Edison said Wednesday it will offer to compensate Eaton fire victims directly for damages suffered, even though it has yet to formally concede that its equipment ignited the blaze on Jan. 7.

“Even though the details of how the Eaton Fire started are still being evaluated, SCE will offer an expedited process to pay and resolve claims fairly and promptly,” Pedro Pizarro, chief executive of Edison International, the utility’s parent company, said in a press release. “This allows the community to focus more on recovery instead of lengthy, expensive litigation.”

“In the past, the utilities have proposed these programs as a means for shorting and underpaying victims,” said attorney Richard Bridgford. “Victims have uniformly done better when represented by counsel.”

Edison said the program would be designed to quickly compensate victims, including those who were insured. People can apply with or without an attorney, it said. The program is expected to run through 2026.

At least 12 people have been killed, mostly Thai civilians, in clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops in a disputed region. Cambodia has fired rockets and artillery and Thailand is launching airstrikes. The region in dispute (Ubon Ratchathani, Surin, And Sisaket) has been disputed for about 100 years.

God "ponders" our hearts. (See Proverbs 24:12)

This should give us pause.......cuz it matters not what "words" we utter, for God sees what is hidden deep in our hearts beyond those words.

Pastor, wife who sold cryptocurrency indicted on fraud charges

Online pastor Eligio "Eli" Regalado and his wife, Kaitlyn, who led Victorious Grace Church, were indicted on 40 counts of fraud by a grand jury in Denver, Colorado, in connection with an alleged cryptocurrency scam they claim God told them to operate.

Colorado Securities Commissioner Tung Chan filed civil fraud charges against the Regalados, along with INDXcoin, LLC, Kingdom Wealth Exchange, LLC, and others for allegedly violating the anti-fraud, licensing and registration provisions of the Colorado Securities Act.

The couple had sold a cryptocurrency they called “INDXcoin” to their Christian followers, claiming that it would make them rich.

At least we learned all of the hidden secrets of the JFK assassination after those files were finally released.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are to be those who love the law of the Lord, i.e. his New Covenant commandments, written in the hearts and minds of those who love God and who are called according to his purpose. Studying the Scriptures should be a delight to us, not a drudgery, and something that we look forward to each day. We should be those who live by the Word of God, no longer according to human flesh, but to please God, not the flesh.

For if we are true followers of Christ, we have died with Christ to sin, and we have been raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but now as slaves to God and to his righteousness. Sin has been put to death so that we no longer walk in sin, by habit, but so we now walk (in conduct, in practice) in obedience to our Lord and to his New Covenant commands. We are now clay in the hands of the Potter being molded into the image of Christ which is a lifetime process of salvation.

The Word of the Lord to us who believe in Jesus Christ should be sweet to us, even though some of his word is hard, it is difficult, and it may seem harsh. For even the parts that may seem harsh are written to us out of love and for what is for our best. And so we need to take it to heart and to apply it to our daily walks of faith in obedience to our Lord, and not ignore the parts that our flesh might want to resist. For we should want to obey God.

We should hate every false way. We should resist the lies of Satan which he likes to whisper in our ears, and we must hold on to the truth of God’s Word, taught to us in the appropriate context, and not out of context. For so many people today are teaching lies in the name of Jesus, and they are falsifying the truth of the gospel, and they are altering the words of God to make them more acceptable to human flesh. And so they are convincing many that a profession of faith in Jesus is all that God requires of them for salvation.

But the truth is that Jesus Christ gave his life up for us on that cross to put our sins to death with him, so that by faith in him we will now die to sin and live to God and to his righteousness, in walks of obedience to his commands. And the truth is that if we continue living in sin, and not in walks of obedience to our Lord, that regardless of what our lips profess, we will not inherit eternal life with God, and we will not be saved from our sins.

So, we must get our truth directly from the Scriptures, taught in their appropriate context. And it is best if you have a reliable and trustworthy Bible translation, for there are several altered and diluted translations and transliterations of the Scriptures which are not true to the originals and which are very deceptive, and which are teaching lies, at least in part. And always study the Scriptures under the direction of the Holy Spirit who will speak truth to our hearts, and test everything you hear from humans.

Let the Word of God be a lamp to your feet (your walk of faith) and a light to your path (the truth of the gospel). For Jesus taught that to come after him requires that we deny self, die daily to sin, and follow our Lord in walks of obedience to his commands. For if we hold on to our old lives of living in sin, we will lose them for eternity. But if for the sake of Jesus we die to sin and walk in obedience to his commands, we have eternal life with God in heaven.

As the Deer

As the deer panteth for the water

You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You

You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You

If you knew someone is spreading false teachings and know for sure their teachings doesn't agree with yours but you'll work for them anyway because they pay good money, you'll be ending up working for money, not working for the Lord.

It would only ever be excusable if you already exhausted ALL your options (unlikely) and the Lord actually told you to work there.
