  1. MTG is elected out of a reliably republican district. She has a firebrand that appeals to her constituents, and maintaining it assures her re-election. What every person with political power wants most is to hold onto that power. MTG is no different.
  2. "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2. Amen amen
  3. Is DJT a Christian? Does he walk after the Spirit or does he walk after the flesh? Does he mind the things of the Spirit or does he mind the things of the flesh? The answer to these questions is critical as to whether DJT (or anyone else for thst matter) is a Christian. In Romans 8, Apostle Paul tells us how Christians will and will not live. First Paul tells us that "there is no condemnation to them which are in Christ." This is a statement that applies only to Christians, to us which are in Christ. Paul then qualifies what it means to be in Christ, wherein he states: "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.", and who mind not the things of the flesh, but mind the things of the Spirit. So, Paul is saying that only a Christian will walk after the Spirit and mind the things of the Spirit. And anyone not Christian will not walk after the Spirit or mind the things of the Spirit, but will walk after the flesh and mind the things of the flesh. The things of the flesh are not simply the physical things, like food and drink and sex. The things of the flesh does include those things, but also includes "idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders...", etc. Galatians 5:19-21. And, things of the flesh include the lust for power and for lust wealth and lust for political influence and lust for legacy, etc. Accordingly, walking after the Spirit and minding the things of the Spirit means we are not occupied with the things of the flesh, but are occupied with spiritual and Godly things, like "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meeknes, temperance," and our chief aim and primary focus in life is to know and to please God. So, is DJT a Christian?
  4. Never vote Democrat. Democrats are the party of Satan. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/11/13/congressional-report-slams-state-department-for-funding-atheism-abroad/
  5. Anyone who teaches that faith plus works is necessary for salvation is teaching a different gospel, and is accursed.
  6. True, as to both statements. All sermons should be God centered, and the only way to preach a God-centered sermon is by preaching and expositing and rightly handling the word of God.
  7. God hating atheists can study God's word, and they can know what God's word says better than many Christins. But atheists don't believe it is God's word because they reject the fact that God is. For the Christian, study and meditation of God's word are interconnected. When we open our Bibles, we are eager to learn and to know the truth, God's word is truth, and we hasten to learn of Him and to know Him more with each page, and to know of His plan for our lives and of our eternal destiny. We also pray God grants unto us wisdom and understanding to know exactly what it is that God is communicating to us, e.g., is God's word simply narrating history, or is it informing us of a prophetic event to come, or is it speaking to types and shadows of Christ, etc. On all these things, and more, we both study and meditate. We worship God in spirit and in truth. For the Christian, our reading, studying, and meditating on God's word is an act of worship. While we worship God through His word, we receive the blessings of the spiritual benefit of getting to know more about God, about His plan of redemption, about His omnipotence and omniscience and omnipresence. To God be glory forever. Amen. Amen. Before I ever opened God's word, the Holy Spirit showed me what I needed to know, namely: I was a sinner in need of a Savior, and His name is Jesus. "The voice of the Lord is powerful ..." Psalm 29. "For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword..." Hebrews 4:12. Accordingly, to the Spirit-filled Christian, there is nothing that rises above the word of God. God has given some men the gift of pastor and teacher, and from the beginning of the Great Commission those Spirit-filled men exposited scripture when they proclaimed the good news that Messiah our Redeemer had come. Our Lord also warned us that false prophets and false teachers would come. They came in the 1st century during the lives of the apostles, and they've been coming ever since. Some men have given and do give great sermons, but sermons are meaningless if the preacher does not rightly handle the word of truth.
  8. We wrestle not against flesh and blood. Eph. 6:12. All that armour is from God. Are you taking up the whole armour of God? Your feelings of uneasiness and unsettledness might have something to say to that. It is God that works in us.
  9. If you're "feeling uneasy and unsettled inside", it has to be from the enemy, because God has given us the Spirit of a sound mind.
  10. I've never been to D-Land or D-world and I never will go. When you consider 70+million American woketards alone vote demoncrat, and then consider the hundreds of millions of global woketards, it's highly unlikely that woketard Disney will go out of business any time soon.
  11. Paul writing to Gentile believers at Corinth: "For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ." (2 Corinthians 11:2). Paul writing to Gentile believers at Ephesus: "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish." (Ephesians 5:25-27). The Israel of God is the Body of Christ and is the total sum of all faithful Gentiles and all faithful Jews. It was God's plan all along. Yes, God did use Israel to bring forth the promised Seed, which is Christ Jesus. Now that Christ has come, the Israel of God are all the faithful Jews and faithful Gentiles that have received Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The lost Jews will perish along with lost Gentiles. Israel will not rule, Jesus will rule as King, and the Israel of God will serve Him and rule and reign with Him. This is false teaching from C. I. Scofield, Peter Ruckman, and those that teach hyperdispensationalism. Christ is not divided. Christ is the head, and all the saints are His body (Jews and Gentiles). When He returns, Christ is going to resurrect every dead saint (Jew and Gentile) and translate every living saint (Jew and Gentile), and we are all going to accompany Him on His descent to earth, and we will rule and reign on earth with Him. The body of Christ is the total of faithful Jews and faithful Gentiles - the One Olive Tree of Romans 11.
  12. Yes, there are many OT references to FAITHFUL Israel being God's bride, wife, spouse. Keep in mind, the terms bride and wife and spouse are used metaphorically, not literally. That said, God divorced His bride Israel because Israel was disobedient and went whoring after other gods. Why did God choose Jacob (Israel) in the first place? The answer is clear: God chose Israel to be a priestly nation, to be a light to all other nations (the Gentiles) in order to draw the Gentiles to God, because God has always been the God of all, not just Israel. When Israel failed the task to be a light to the nations, was repeatedly disobedient and went whoring after other gods, God punished Israel by exiling them from the land. God never stopped using Israel for His purposes, for God promised that He was going to send His seed through Abraham Isaac and Jacob to complete His plan of redemption. That seed was the Lord, Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus tells us plainly that He is the True Light, and that, while He came to the Jews, He did not come to save only the Jews, but also the Gentiles. We see at His circumcision, Simeon takes the baby Jesus in his hands and praises God for sending Jesus, the "Light to lighten the Gentiles." There is no mistaking why Jesus came; He came to die to be a ransom for many, Jews and Gentiles. He did no come to set up an earthly kingdom, and He made clear to Pilate that His kingdom was not of this world. Now, Jesus will return to rule and reign on earth, but right now His kingdom is a spiritual kingdom that exists in the body of believers, many of whom have already died in Christ, many are currently alive in Christ, and many of those who will be alive at His second coming. Back to Israel. When God promised to restore Israel, He promised to do so under a new covenant. That new covenant would abolish the old covenant, and would be a covenant which God Himself would initiate, and He did so by and through God the Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus came as a suffering servant to finish the task of drawing the nations to God through Himself. Now that Jesus has accomished the task of being the True Light to all peoples, Jews and Gentiles, and now that Jesus has accomplished the task of being the one and only perfect blood sacrifice to take away the sins of the world, not just Israel, but the world, Jesus is now the high priest of all faithful peole, both Jews and Gentiles. All faithful people from every generstion make up one body of believers, which is referred to as the Body of Christ, which is also referred to as the bride of Christ, which is also referred to as the Israel of God. Peace and blessings.
  13. The bride of Christ and the church refers to the same thing, namely: the total of every faithful Jew and every faithful Gentile from every generation. Paul makes this point very clear in Galatians 3:7, "they which be of faith, the same are the children of Abraham", and 3:9,"they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham", and 3:26, "for you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus", and 3:28-29, "there is neither Jew nor Greek ... for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you be Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Paul continues to confirm that Jews and Gentiles make up one body when he writes, "we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise." Gal. 4:28. And further writes, "neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumscion, but a new creature." Gal. 6:15. Paul finishes his benediction after proclaiming that all Jews and Gentiles are one body of believers in Christ Jesus, that this one body of believers is the "Israel of God." Galatians 6:16.
  14. Not another dime to Ukraine. The interest in Ukraine is not "We the people's" interest, it's the military industrial complex's interest, it's big pharma's interest, it's the politically entrenched's interest. We the people's interest is in We the people: build more low-income housing. Fix homelessness: build more shelters. Fix our national veterans crisis. Fix our borders: finish the wall and beef-up CBP security. Fix our education system: END neo marxist ideology in all primary education. Most importantly, bring God and His word back into the public square, the public schools, and magnify the name of God in every city, town, village, and hamlet so that all will know His name. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen amen.
  15. Try rebounding. You'll be satisfied with the results, and you can do it in the comfort of your home. Rebounding is gentle on your joints and every cell in your body benefits from it. It's a primary exercise for all nasa astronauts because it helps combat the effects prolonged weightlessness while in orbit has on the body. Just a minute or so to start, and within a couple weeks you'll be doing 5-10 minutes without a break.
