• 15,000 Haitians were imported into Springfield by VP Harris

This needs a little explanation. From the Springfield News-Sun

"Status extended by feds​

Most Haitians are here legally, making their way from a violent and gang-ruled island homeland to Mexico.

Katie Kersh, senior attorney with Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, said many Haitians coming here go to Mexico and get a CBP One, a mobile app that allows users to request appointments related to immigration. That allows them to be legally processed into the U.S. through what’s called the parole program. They then typically obtain Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, which allows them to temporarily stay in the country. Others may apply for asylum, which is evaluated based on a person’s individual situation and if they were persecuted or have a fear of persecution, or for both TPS and asylum."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other words, the Haitian immigrants get a mobile app on their phones in Mexico, which allows them to get an appointment with
the courts. This allows them to be legally processed into the US through the app. They get a TPS via the US Federal Government.
As I understand it, the US Government change the rules for applying for asylum when Biden took office.
They go to Springfield from Mexico because they have relatives and friends there, who will help them get a job.
Of course the businesses in Springfield hire them at minimum wage, because Haitian immigrants are willing to live in
apartments with multiple families. The citizens of Springfield live with one family in an apartment and as a result, can't
survive on minimum wages.

In other words, before Biden, they would be illegally in the US. But because the rules changed, they now hold a legal status while
waiting to go to court. In the past, 80% of immigrants who applied for asylum, never showed up at the court date they were given.
Why would they, when there's a chance, they'll be sent back to the country they came from?

But they're here so the only humane thing to do is help them and this is what Catholic Charities does, not only in Springfield,
but across the nation.

Christian apologist Gratia Pello has been released on parole after more than a year in an Indonesian prison, where he was held on charges of blasphemy for allegedly insulting the Islamic prophet Muhammad in a video.

Pello was arrested on Dec. 6, 2022, on charges of blasphemy for posting the video, which refuted insults against Jesus. He was granted parole earlier this year, reported the U.S.-based persecution watchdog International Christian Concern, whose staffer recently confirmed his release.

Pello is required to report to the prosecutor’s office monthly until his parole concludes in December, ICC said.

The aggressive advocacy of abortion by Democratic Party candidates up and down the ballot this year, coupled with abortion ballot measures in 10 states, is causing pro-life groups across the political spectrum to adjust their tactics as well as expand collaborative efforts.

At the state level throughout the country, “there are things that we are excited about and others that are very troubling,” said Americans United for Life (AUL) Chief Executive Officer John Mize in an interview with CNA.

“What we find most troubling are the ballot initiatives that are very deceptive by pro-abortion forces that have caused utter confusion in a vast swath of the American public,” Mize indicated.

Continued below.

God does what is needed that is according to not being willing that any would perish. But the way is still really narrow and many are going toward the destruction, as there is no deliverance that God provides without repentance, with which there is essential faith with salvation in Christ through his accomplishments. Those in Christ that way are all delivered to be in bliss with him coming to God eternally then, after making it through this world yet with curse that has grown with sin since the fall.

ViaCrucis said:

A lot of the language that Paul uses (not just Paul, obviously, but Paul is big on it here) is proleptic. There is a sense in which the future bleeds into, or breaks into the present.

A really good example of this is when Paul says that we are "seated with Christ in heavenly places". Paul speaks present tense, even though we are obviously still very much right here on earth; yet at the same time we are--because we are in Christ--seated with Him. We are living and reigning with Him even though we are still down here.

Regeneration means the birth of a new man, a new human person; we are sharing in Christ's (resurrected) humanity right now, as a gift and work of God's grace. There is still the old man, who must be put to death daily through repentance. St. Paul talks about this struggle between the new man and the old man in Romans ch. 7. But Paul sees, already, in the powerful work of God's grace, by which we are alive by the Spirit, united to Christ, a new creation in Christ, that the old is passed, the old is dead. The old man died already in baptism (see Romans chapter 6), even as the new man was created, born, in that very baptism. Because we are in Christ there is a sense of receiving already what will be. We know that when Christ returns the dead shall be raised, in a sense we have received this already proleptically, through faith, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We are also called to put off the old man and put on the new (Ephesians 4:22-23). It's something we have been given; and it's something that is to mark our ongoing struggle as followers of Jesus. We have been made new, we are being made new, and we will be made new.

The telos--the end or goal--is something which defines the present already. We will be saved, we have been saved, and we are being saved. We will rise again, we have been raised, we are being raised. What will be, has already, and is now.

We see in Christ what God will do, and God has already done it in/for Christ; and since we are in Christ, it is now our present reality. Through faith, by the power and work of the Holy Spirit.

Very interesting way to put it--"Proleptic." And I agree. What we will have in the future, with respect to our resurrection and glorification, is, in some sense previewed by our current redemption. We have a downpayment, spiritually, on our future inheritance. A great way to express it, I think. Thank you!

I suspect changing your mind would be a nonstarter anyway, so I doubt there is any argument or piece of information I could offer that would suffice.

Besides, since Joe Biden isn't running, I'm not sure how productive a discussion of the differences between his agenda and Kamala Harris' would be anyway.

I think of the question along these lines. Person A says "Consider the set of humans with traits X, Y, and Z." Person B says "Consider the set of humans with traits Z and either W or X." Person C is interested in still another set of human traits, etc. And now A, B, and C argue about which set is more useful to consider and which set is more usefully labelled "woman". The argument is about which set to attach the vocabulary word to.

But if instead there's something essential about being a "woman", then it's meaningful to say that a particular definition "should"/"shouldn't" be used, or that a particular definition is right or wrong. From this point of view, saying "that definition is wrong" is saying more than just "that's not how most people use the word". I think.

So from this second viewpoint, it's meaningful to say things like "it's wrong for a women's college to accept thus-and-so kinds of students, because those students aren't really women", and the speaker is saying more than just "this is the set of students I want to study with". And this clarifies for me some of the earlier statements in the thread, and some of the miscommunication.

Ok. That's interesting. Your approach to this topic sounds a bit Instrumentalist/Pragmatic in nature rather than Idealist, politically and even analytically speaking. I'm kind of surprised at this, but it is what it is.

Thank you for offering some brief and concise clarification about your personal praxis, PloverWing.

As a faithful Christian it’s been said there are many voices that seek control of our minds. Everyone gets hit with something, and everything from self doubt, to anger, judgment, and so on. Lately I’ve felt like a ping pong ball being bounced between good and evil.

I trust the Word. As a believer I know things are not as bad as they seem. I would like to request some prayers during this strange season that I’m in.
Thank you

Be very careful of the things you choose to feed into your mind. A great many Christians fail in this one area

Phil 4:
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Meditate on These Things​

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

===================

If you allow your mind to focus downward, on sin and evil , rebellion -- even when it is simply the rebellion against God's Word done by others -- you are filling your soul with darkness not light.


Richard Wurmbrand: book "Tortured for Christ" on Amazon

Tells of a Christian tortured for many years in a communist prison - who was always rejoicing even while being tortured. One day one of his torturers asked how he could have a smile and be cheerful even while being tortured.

Rom 12:15 was his response
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice

He was being kept below ground , prison basement -- no access to real sunlight, flowers, birds, butterflies

He said "I would think of that and then say to myself -- but many are out there right now and people can see it all - I rejoice for those who are right now rejoicing to see the sun, the green grass the colors of the butterflies".

The story is amazing

This is similar to how Tucker Carlson's showing an empty hallway from J6 "proves" that the riot was actually "peaceful". It smacks of desperate trickery - but apparently this sort of thing cheers the base.

Men play games, and it’s insane
What they in pride do hope to gain.
Full of tricks and trips and pride
They now take others for a ride.

Liars plenty in disguise,
They’re not so very, very wise.
Hide their motives, truth not tell,
Manipulating men to hell.

Evil workmen do not care,
They are not looking lives to spare.
Selfish motives, greed their god,
Masqueraders, so they are frauds.

Mind control, it is their game,
They’re wanting everyone the same.
Unity with men, their sell,
Not unity with God do tell.

Change the message flesh to feed,
No people from their sins do free.
Give permission sins to do,
Do not to Jesus say, “I do.”

Don’t fall underneath their spell.
Please know the truth and know it well.
Show the lies, and tell the truth,
Expose the liars so uncouth.

*This does not exclude women who may do the same.

Now, under the Old Covenant that God had with his people Israel, the nation of Israel (the Jewish nation) was the nation whose God was the Lord. But when Jesus Christ gave his life up for us on that cross to put our sins to death with him, so that he could free us from our slavery to sin, he made Jew and Gentile one nation (one people) by faith in Jesus Christ. All Jews who rejected Jesus as their Messiah (the Christ) were cut out of Israel while the Gentile believers in Christ were grafted into and became one with Israel.

[Genesis 17:7-9; Genesis 18:19; Romans 2:28-29; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 9:4-8,25-28; Romans 11:1-36; Galatians 3:16,26-29; Galatians 4:22-31; Ephesians 2:11-22; Ephesians 3:6; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 2:22; John 8:18-19,38-47; Jude 1:5; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-16; Hebrews 8:6-13; Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9]

Therefore, in our present day and time, the nation whose God is the Lord are all who have trusted in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of their lives. We have been 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 now as slaves to God and to his righteousness. We are all those who no longer make sin our practice but for whom righteousness and obedience to our Lord are what we practice, by the grace of God, in the power and wisdom of God.

[Matt 7:21-23; Lu 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14; Rom 12:1-2; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Co 10:1-22; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; Gal 5:16-24; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:1-17; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6,15-17; 1 Jn 3:4-10; 1 Pet 2:24; Heb 3:1-19; Heb 4:1-13; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2]

If we are following Jesus Christ with our lives in obedience to his commands, and in submission to him as Lord, and in surrender of our wills to the will of God for our lives, then we are blessed of God. God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – is our Lord (Owner-Master), and our lives now belong to him. And as those who belong to Christ, we are to be following our Lord in obedience, living holy lives pleasing to him. We should no longer be conformed to the ways of this sinful world but transformed of God’s Spirit.


Now there are a lot of people professing faith in Jesus Christ who are idolizing certain men and women in positions of power and influence, and they are looking to them to solve the world’s problems, and/or to make my nation (the USA) a better place to live. Or they are looking to our military to keep us safe. But the Scriptures are very clear on this subject. Our trust is not to be in humans and in kings and in their armies. And what if they are not who we think they are, and they end up betraying us? Think on that!

What do the Scriptures teach us about these last days? Liars and deceivers and false christs are going to appear and deceive even the elect, if that were possible. Many will be blinded to the truth and they will follow after “Pied Pipers” to their deaths. A beast will conquer peoples and nations and will persecute and murder those of genuine faith in Jesus Christ. And so we need to be listening to the Lord and letting him be the one to lead us and guide us and to rescue our people and our nations from the sin that ails them.

And the eyes of the Lord are on whom? On those who fear him. And to fear the Lord involves us taking him and his word seriously and applying it to our lives, in his power. It means that we reverence, respect, honor, and obey our Lord, we die with him to sin, and we now walk in obedience to his commands, by his grace. By God’s grace we are being taught to renounce ungodliness and fleshly lusts and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for our Lord’s return for his bride (Titus 2:11-14).


Our hope is not in kings and kingdoms and politicians to save us. Our hope is in the Lord to save us, to purify us, and to make us more like Jesus. He is our help and our shield, not other humans and not armies. He is the only one in absolute control over everything that goes on in this world, and he is the only one who can change human hearts. And rather than looking to humans to save us, who may betray us, we should be sharing the full gospel of Christ so that other humans can be saved and have eternal life with God.

[Psalms 118:9; Psalms 146:3; Psalms 147:10-11; Isaiah 40:23; Jeremiah 17:5-6; Hosea 8:4; Hosea 13:10; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5; 1 Corinthians 3:1-9,18-23; 1 Corinthians 7:23; Galatians 1:10; Galatians 2:12; Ephesians 4:14-16; Ephesians 6:5-8; Colossians 2:8,20-23; Colossians 3:23-24; 1 Thessalonians 2:3-8; 1 Peter 4:1-5; 2 Peter 3:17-18]

Only Trust Him

By John Hart Stockton, 1873

Come, every soul by sin oppressed,
There’s mercy with the Lord,
And He will surely give you rest
By trusting in His Word.

For Jesus shed His precious blood
Rich blessings to bestow;
Plunge now into the crimson flood
That washes white as snow.

Yes, Jesus is the truth, the way,
That leads you into rest;
Believe in Him without delay
And you are fully blest.

Come, then, and join this holy band,
And on to glory go,
To dwell in that celestial land
Where joys immortal flow.

Only trust Him, only trust Him,
Only trust Him now;
He will save you, He will save you,
He will save you now.

Mt 10:


Jesus' teachings can divide a family. He did not command us to divide; he predicted that it may happen in some cases. Committing to believing in Jesus could cost your family relationship. Jesus demanded primacy of one's relationship with God over all other relationships.


Following Jesus can lead to conflict, even within families. Loyalty to Christ may create tension between believers and non-believing family members. Faith in Jesus is a radical commitment.

Its interesting to track how society has changed on this and whether modern society is a predicted time. In the past as society was more God orientated families and communities seem to at least have belief in common and were not so divided.

Now as God has been removed from the public square we are seeing Christianity being disenfranchised and segregated. A bit similar to civil race segregation. So now its Christians verses secular or even Christians against Christians.

Theres more chance that a Christian will end up within a family or group that is against Christianity. There was a period where society tolerated Christians but lately that has been changing. Its more confrontational to even proclaim Christian values and beliefs generally.

But more individually as Christians we are called to stand on our faith and in some ways that will naturally bring some conflict with others regardless of history. It seems the early church was bold and many were persecuted for their beliefs.

I think though we may have continued the Christian church it has become complacent while at the same time the world has become more dominant. Now its full circle where the world is now confronting Christianity and Christians are now called to stand up for their faith.

Had three more last week and am very excited about one.

In order for the Lord to be our Shepherd, we must first of all be his sheep. And he said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand” (John 10:27-28 ESV). And he said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it” (Luke 9:23-24 ESV).

And if we are hearing his voice, that means we are earnestly listening to him in order that we might obey him. And to follow him is to obey him. And to deny self is to give up the self-life. And to take up our cross daily and follow him means to die daily to sin and to walk in obedience to his commands. For if we hold on to our lives of sin, we will lose them for eternity. But if for Jesus’ sake we die to sin that we might live for Him, and if we are walking in obedience to his commands, by his power, then we have eternal life in Him.

Now, when I think of green pastures beside still waters, what comes to my mind is a grassy hill with a large tree covered with leaves right at the water’s edge and me sitting under that tree and just listening to and watching the water. That says “peace” to me. But true lasting peace that is there even when the world is in turmoil all around me comes from my faith in Jesus Christ and my trust in his sovereignty. I rest in him and he leads me in the paths of righteousness (godliness, obedience) for his name’s sake.


We live in very troubled times. The world is going bonkers. Craziness is everywhere. Angst and divisions and fighting and disputes abound. Liars and lies are all over the place – in the news media, in our governments, among our politicians, in our “churches,” and among our pastors and elders. Deception and deceiving spirits are commonplace. Immorality is sky high! Cheap grace has superseded God’s true grace, and so many are professing faith in Jesus Christ while they still live for the sinful pleasures of this world.

Evil is getting more and more evil, and it is encroaching upon us ever so closely now. If we are paying close attention, and we know what the Scriptures teach, we can see the signs of the times in the things which are now taking place in our world. And those who are following Jesus Christ with wholehearted devotion in following him in obedience to his ways are largely being persecuted and cast aside as unwanted, even within some of the gatherings of what are called “churches.” This should not be!

But we are not to fear evil. We should not be participating in any evil, and we should be fearing God by showing him honor, respect, and obedience, and by believing what his word teaches and taking it to heart. But we are not to be afraid of the evil that others do or that they might do to us who are the Lord’s true sheep and who are listening to him and who are obeying him, in practice. For the Lord will see us through every difficulty that comes our way, and he will give us all we need to endure all opposition.


Now I believe the Lord wants me to share this with you. Last week my husband and I had our yearly physicals with our doctor. My husband usually sees him first, and he usually tells the doctor something about me. And then the doctor sees me next. Now it turns out that my husband Rick told the doctor about the ministry that God has given to me, and that I write devotions and that I put them on the internet. And so the doctor told me that Rick had said something about that, and he was asking me about that.

When he asked if I was writing devotions and putting them on the internet, I said, “Yes, I am,” and I told him a little bit about that. And then he looked at me ever so seriously and he said to me, “God speaks to you, doesn’t he?” He was very tender in how he said it. And I responded with, “Yes, he does.” And then ever so tenderly he said to me, “He covers you, doesn’t he?” I never had anyone ever say anything like that to me before, but I said, “Yes, he does.” I was just amazed at his questions, but the last one touched me.

And so as I read this last section of Psalms 23 today, that is what came back to mind. “He covers you, doesn’t he?” For I believe that is the message in this last section, which fits with this: “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart” (Psalms 91:4 NIV). And it doesn’t mean that I won’t face difficulties and persecutions. I will. The Bible says I will. But that his covering over me will keep me from failing, and he will give me strength. Amen!

He Covers You, Doesn’t He?

For President most individual votes are not going to matter. If this is a swing state then this argument would not hold. Plus you have to look at the other races on the ballot to see if they are close. Many churches go overboard with too much political stuff. One can just pray that this pastor hears and preaches what is on the heart and mind of God for all matters.

God bless them

I think events will take this wishful thinking out of our hands. I believe God is going to drive us off the planet, and when he does it will be so difficult that survivors won't have the time or resources to fool around with eternal biological life.

That's my odd opinion.

Those who have died and put their bodies into deep freeze would have found out whether God exists or not. One thing we can be absolutely certain about is that they won't be coming back.

Hebrews 9:27 NIV "Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment ..."

They've already been judged.

Anyway who'd want to live forever in this world?

And I will bury them all
For the life of me
And even when death comes
And makes you fall asleep
I will wake you up again
For the life of me

You keep your heart in isolation
Where no one knows your needs
Finding comfort in the chaos
And the addiction that it brings

You're scared no one will love you
When they find out what you're hiding underneath
But there's not a day I haven't loved you

So bring me all your pain
And every night that you weep
And I will bury them all
For the life of me
And even when death comes
And makes you fall asleep
I will wake you up again
For the life of me

There's not a day I haven't loved you
Not a day I haven't loved you
Your name is written on my hands
There's not a day I haven't loved you
Not a day I haven't loved you
Your name is written on my hands

So bring me all your pain
And every night that you weep
And I will bury them all
For the life of me
And even when death comes
And makes you fall asleep
I will wake you up again

I will wake you up again
For the life of me
For the life of me
