THE ISLAMIC TERRORIST . . .

The islamist terrorist plane has been cleared for takeoff, January 2026, in New York City.

Will the devastation, the destruction extend beyond beyond NYC as intended ?


Pray for the “Biden/Harris Effect” in New York and across America.
Their extreme, ridiculous four years woke up America and paved the way for the MAGA LANDSLIDE.

P R A Y ! ! !

NIGERIA

21st century martyrdom.

In Nigeria, every 30 minutes a Christian is killed for their faith by islamic terrorists.

Will the serious threat of intervention by the United States make any difference ?
Not likely.

Will serious intervention by the United States make a difference ?
Not as clear as stealth bombers seriously messing up Iran’s nuclear program.

Please do pray for persecuted Christians, in Nigeria and around the world.

“Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.”

GRIEF, QUESTIONS, ?ANSWERS?

“Never trade what you do know for what you don’t know.”
—–Chuck Smith

Don’t let fascination with questions about God distract you from following what you already know to be true.

“If you became convinced that what the Bible says about Jesus is true, would you believe in Him ?
Many people respond with ‘No’ “

RIGHTS—INVENT, DECLARE, DEMAND

People get ideas, think of something they want, believe something new—INVENT a right !

People DECLARE their new right, and others join, “We have our right(s).”

When people believe in something strongly enough, they become fanatic and DEMAND their rights, over the rights of others.

Yet, one time in history some God-fearing people looked at man differently and set straight the truth about our rights and our relationships.

A – – It is obvious because it is true that we are not our own, to invent who we are and where we came from, to make any of us better or worse than others.

B – – Repeating the truth of the source of our existence doubles the truth of the source of our rights.
We don’t invent our rights, and nothing can take away our rights—because of the source of our rights.

C – – Our rights are clear, specific, indisputable, universal, all-encompassing, fixed, permanent, inalienable—not subject to erosion by subversion—not superceded by other people’s ideas or their claims to other ‘rights’.

D – – FIRST RIGHT
Life is a right for every person.
No one, No group, No government can take any life, NOT ANY LIFE, from anyone who has not, or is not attempting, to take someone’s life.

E – – SECOND RIGHT
Liberty is a right for every person.
Born free—liberty is the first hallmark of life, from the same source that gives us both life and liberty.
Live free—liberty drives us, inspires us, compels us, empowers us—to strive for our best, and pursue life and freedom for others.

F – – THIRD RIGHT
Striving for happiness gives reasons for living, and living free.

G – – MORE RIGHTS
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness are highlights among others not listed.

Must now change ‘source’ in the lines above, to the Source, our Creator.
And that makes all the difference in the world !

Again,
One time in history some God-fearing people looked at man differently and set straight the truth about our rights and our relationships.

A – – It is obvious because it is true—“WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT”—that we are not our own, to invent who we are and where we came from—“CREATED”—, to make any of us better or worse than others—“CREATED EQUAL”—

B – – Repeating the truth of the source of our existence doubles the truth of the source of our rights—ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR”—
We don’t invent our rights, and nothing can take away our rights—because of the source of our rights—“BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN . . . RIGHTS”—

C – – Our rights are clear, specific, indisputable, universal, all-encompassing, fixed, permanent, inalienable—not subject to erosion by subversion—not superceded by other people’s ideas or their claims to other ‘rights’—“INALIENABLE RIGHTS”—

D – – FIRST RIGHT—“LIFE”—
Life is a right for every person.
No one, No group, No government can take any life, NOT ANY LIFE, from anyone who has not, or is not attempting, to take someone’s life.

E – – SECOND RIGHT—LIBERTY”—
Liberty is a right for every person.
Born free—liberty is the first hallmark of life, from the same source that gives us both life and liberty.
Live free—liberty drives us, inspires us, compels us, empowers us—to strive for our best, and pursue life and freedom for others.

F – – THIRD RIGHT—“PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS”—
Striving for happiness gives reasons for living, and living free.

G – – MORE RIGHTS
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness are highlights, with others not listed—“AMONG THESE [ARE LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS”]—


Absolutely amazing, the anointing by God, to pack such eternal truths into those few opening words of the United States Declaration of Independence.

‘LUTHERAN’ FAITH ?

Catholic faith ?
Episcopal faith ?
Baptist faith ?
Assembly of God faith ?
Bible Church faith ?

Is your faith connected with . . . your church, your denomination ?

Do you talk about your church when you talk about your faith ?

When do you tell what makes your church different, distinctive ?

Do others think your church is a brand, among many ?

When do you talk about Jesus without talking about your church ?

Church is good.
THE CHURCH was established by Jesus.
Catholicism and denominations were not.

“THE FEAR OF MAN . . .”

“The fear of man brings a snare . . .”

The fear of man brings a snare.
–What could ‘they’, or ‘someone’, or ‘so-and-so’ do to hurt me ?
–Real or imagined ?

The praise of man brings a snare.
–I need approval to feel good.
–Everybody does—really ?

The love of man brings a snare.
–Makes life complete ?
–Except when it’s a trap, to sin.

The talk of man brings a snare.
–What are people going to say ?
–What might this person think ?

The respect of man brings a snare.
–Is there a positive fear of man ?
–Sincerely want to please—who?

The thought of man brings a snare.
–Who am I thinking about ?
–Who am I working for, living for ?


“The fear of man brings a snare;
Whoever trusts in the Lord will be safe.”

“Do your work—live your life—heartily as unto the Lord, and not unto man; that’s where you’re going to receive your heavely reward.
It is the Lord Christ you serve.”

DOES EVOLUTION HAPPEN ?

Yes, it happens indeed !
Track the progression of evil in the lives of those who reject their Creator.
Evil starts spontaneously—where does it come from ?—apparently from nowhere (not really).
It grows.
It morphs.
It gets worse and worse.
It duplicates, reproduces, greater than previous.
