Hey everyone. Would you please pray for my fiancé and I? I've been having a very stressful week with him because he's barely communicating with me. Something very stressful is going on in his life, and he often shuts down and doesn't want to talk much when he's under a lot of stress, but he's really hurting my feelings by ignoring my messages and stuff.

How many times have we heard “no one is above the law”from the previous administration. WELL the chickens have come home to roost. Watch this thread for updates pointing out those who are not above the law.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that she has faced more pressure over a petition to trigger a House vote compelling the release of files linked to Jeffrey Epstein than any other issue. “My signature is on that discharge petition, and there has not been another issue where I have ever received more pressure than that one, and I’m pretty much shocked by it. I can’t imagine — I’ve never understood how this is an issue,” Greene told NewsNation’s Blake Burman on “The Hill.”

This is the time I agreed with her. In a good way.

A man arrested outside a church before it was set to hold a “Red Mass” worship service, traditionally attended by U.S. Supreme Court justices, was found to have 200 explosive devices in his possession.

Louis Geri, a 41-year-old resident of New Jersey, was arrested Sunday outside of the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle hours before the service was scheduled to begin.

According to a D.C. Metropolitan Police Department press release, Geri, who had been previously barred from the cathedral grounds, decided to set up a tent near the church building.

While Geri was arrested without incident after refusing to leave the property, authorities discovered “multiple suspicious items, including vials of liquid and possible fireworks, inside of the suspect’s tent.”

Who are the people today who are blind, yet have eyes, who are deaf, yet have ears? They are the spiritually blind and deaf who are not heeding the call of God to die with Christ to sin and to walk in obedience to our Lord’s commands, by God-persuaded faith in Jesus Christ, in the power of God. They can be people in the world who do not profess faith in Jesus Christ, and they can be those who do profess faith in the Lord Jesus, but who have not been crucified with Christ in death to sin, so they have not been raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin.

Many of them are weekly participants in these gatherings in buildings called “churches.” But the church is not a building. It is not a church denomination. It is not a corporation under the state in an unholy union with the world and with the government. And it is not a business to be marketed to the world in order to attract the world to their “church” gatherings. Yet that is what so much of what is called “church” has been turned into. But the biblical church is the body of believers in Christ who have died to sin and who should be walking in obedience to our Lord in serving the Lord with their daily lives.

But since so much of what is called “church” these days has turned their gatherings into businesses to be marketed to the world, and so they have incorporated (merged, joined, united, combined) with the government and with the world, both of which God forbids, many have also compromised the message of the gospel in order to attract the ungodly to their gatherings. So they are not teaching the gospel according to Christ and his New Testament apostles, taught in the correct biblical context, for they are teaching that a mere profession of faith assures you of salvation and eternal life with God.

[Matthew 21:12-13; John 2:13-17; Acts 5:27-32; 1 Corinthians 1:10-13; 1 Corinthians 3:1-9; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Philippians 3:18-19; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22; Revelation 13:5-8; Revelation 18:1-5]

But Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are 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 as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

For God’s grace, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for Jesus’ return. For Christ “gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.” “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (See Titus 2:11-14; Ephesians 2:8-10)

And we learn in 1 John 1-3 that if we claim that we have fellowship with God, but yet we walk in darkness (sin), we are liars. If we claim that we know God, but we do not obey his commandments, in practice, we are liars. For it is not the one who claims he is “in Christ” who is “in Christ,” but it is the one who has denied self, died with Christ to sin, and who is now walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in practice, and no longer in sin. We have the hope and the promise of eternal life with God in heaven.

So the made-up gospel that is spreading so rapidly in today’s world, which is teaching a faith which is lip service only – no death to sin and no walks of obedience to God required – is not the biblical gospel (see the above four paragraphs for the biblical gospel message). Now there are those who use the word “repent” but not meaning a change of heart and mind resulting in a change of behavior, but just an acknowledgement of sin only. And there are some who teach holy living and obedience, but not as required for salvation. But the gospel of Christ teaches we must die to sin daily and follow our Lord in obedience.

So, please know and believe the truth, and not the lies, for your salvation from sin and eternal life with God are contingent upon you believing and living the truth of the gospel taught in its correct context in the Scriptures.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

Arise My Love

By Eddie Carswell

..Then suddenly a melody filled the air
Riding wings of wind, it was everywhere
The words all creation had been longing to hear
The sweet sound of victory, so loud and clear

Sin, where are your shackles?
Death, where is your sting?
Hell has been defeated.
The grave could not hold the King.

Arise, My love. Arise, My love.
The grave no longer has a hold on you
No more death's sting; No more suffering
Arise....Arise....Arise

That We May Know and Believe Him
An Original Work / October 8, 2025
Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

Adrian Davis, the former lead pastor at the now-defunct Huntsville, Alabama, campus of All Nations Worship Assembly, pleaded guilty to spending over $400,000 of the church’s funds on personal expenses and filing a false tax return. He is facing up to 23 years in prison.

According to court documents from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, cited by WAAY31, Davis, who is still being platformed by other churches, is now facing up to 20 years in prison for wire fraud and up to three years for filing a false tax return.

Between 2018 and 2020, court documents show that Davis treated himself to a $30,920 Audi A7 and a $45,982 GMC Yukon courtesy of the church’s purse. He also spent $31,000 on entertainment and items from the luxury brand Louis Vuitton. He also paid off personal credit card debt totaling more than $117,000.

So, what does it mean? Well, Title 10 of US Code is the portion of federal law that pertains to the military, and, in context, he's referring to the president's ability to federalize the National Guard. A person with plenary authority has absolute and limitless power over a particular issue - for instance, Congress has plenary authority over interstate commerce.

So, in essence, Miller is claiming that Trump, as president, has absolute power to deploy the National Guard wherever he wants, for whatever reason he wants, and that he does not believe that the Courts (or state governors) have the authority to stop him. This should, I would hope, sound alarm bells in every American's head.

Well it seems I come across examples of this everyday...just crossed another one.

If there are people having trouble understanding why people dislike how iCE is doing their work, I'm hoping folks will be willing to share some examples. I'll do my bit when I can.

The late Father Richard John Neuhaus had a love/hate relationship with The New York Times.

Richard was a passionate partisan of New York City, which he sometimes described as a preview of the New Jerusalem, but the Grey Lady’s parochialism nonetheless led him to occasionally dismiss New York’s most prestigious daily as a “parish newsletter.” He regularly castigated the Times’ editorials for their air of smug infallibility. And then there was RJN’s annoyance (and more) with the Times’ knee-jerk liberalism, which, by its embrace of every imaginable left-of-center cause, accelerated the decay of liberal politics into the promotion of lifestyle libertinism. Richard was thus years ahead of Joseph Ratzinger in issuing warnings about a dictatorship of relativism, the unavoidable political outcome of the Times’ cultural lurch leftward.

On the other hand, Richard Neuhaus could no more imagine skipping The New York Times in the morning than he could imagine beginning the day without numerous cups of coffee, a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios, and a smoke.

That love/hate relationship was crystallized in an incident during Richard’s days as a Lutheran pastor in the then-impoverished Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, when the Times declined to refer to a local black pastor (from Christendom’s entrepreneurial Protestant subdivision) as “Bishop” so-and-so.

I’m soon going to change my medication due to terrible side effects and start a new one. Thing is, when I change medication, this is when my mum goes all out abusive monster and goes ballastic and stalks me round the house constantly abusing me and gets me locked up in mental hospital for no reason. Please pray that God protects me from her and her abuse, and also that I don’t get locked up in an institution ever or back on a terrible medication with horrible side effects and that the medication change goes smoothly and well, agreeing in Jesus Christ’s name, Amen. Thank you so much.

Editors’ note: The Christian Post Opinion Page has published two countering views on Calvinism. To read the opposing view in the piece titled “No, dear Christian — you cannot lose your salvation. Ever,” click here.

There are many who strongly believe in a doctrine often referred to as “once saved, always saved” (OSAS), or “eternal security” or “perseverance/preservation of the saints.”

Proponents of this doctrine believe that once a person with a sincere heart truly confesses Jesus as Lord and Savior, he is guaranteed Heaven. They believe that from that moment on, God will hold onto that believer and nothing — not even the person's own free will — can cause him to forfeit his eternal standing with God.

While I believe that it is entirely possible to be confident of one's future salvation (i.e., can you think of anything that could sway you from your faith in God? No? Me either.), the question is, what does the Bible teach?

Anytime you see a child with two dads, you know mom is missing​

This was one of the most disturbing paperswe’d seen in a while.

The author, a gay man who used a surrogate and egg donor to acquire a child, was joking about his daughter calling him “mommy dad” and his partner being annoyed that it must be a stage the child was going through.

“Mommy” is both the near-universal term for mother as well as children’s oft-spoken first words. That’s not coincidental. It’s indicative of the primal yearning that children have for their mother from infancy through adulthood. Yet this man, who from every indication is a caring father, cannot bring himself to admit the possibility that there is something he cannot give to his child. This dad seems more concerned with his daughter validating his choices and “queer” identity than he is with validating his daughter’s deep-seated emotional needs:

In addition to all the official and informal names that have emerged to define and contain me over the years, I now also go by the name Mommy Dad—my two-year-old daughter started calling me that about a month ago. This is probably a daycare influence, although it is questionable whether ‘mommy dad’ is a response and, if so, to what. The teachers are proud that they have a two-dad family. One of them, let’s call her Lieke, never misses a chance for a teaching moment so she keeps reminding the group that Greta heeft twee papa’s (Greta has two daddies). We are both exotic and normal, orients with a Dutch twist, and I suspect that making me Mommy Dad is an act of resistance on Greta’s part.
Wherever mommy dad comes from, my husband is slightly annoyed by this development, forcing me, who also happens to be the pushover dad, to arbitrate between me, my new name, and Greta’s artful trick to normalize our relationalities. My husband rolls his eyes, then I go: ‘This is probably just a phase—she’ll grow out of it.’

It should come as no surprise that the conditions within which children are made, between a man and a woman, are also the ideal conditions within which to raise children. Children need and long for both maternal and paternal love. His little daughter was made for the love of her mother; it’s not something she needs to grow out of.

At the center of the controversy is a 2016 essay titled “The Impossible Dialogue with Islam,” in which Ballester argued that genuine dialogue between Christianity and Islam remains unattainable under current conditions

(ZENIT News / Barcelona, 10.07.2025).- The conviction of a Spanish priest for “hate speech” has ignited a national conversation about the boundaries of religious expression and freedom of conscience in modern Europe. Father Custodio Ballester, a Barcelona parish priest known for his outspoken views, was found guilty last week of making “Islamophobic” remarks in an article he wrote more than seven years ago. At the center of the controversy is a 2016 essay titled “The Impossible Dialogue with Islam,” in which Ballester argued that genuine dialogue between Christianity and Islam remains unattainable under current conditions. The article was a direct response to a pastoral letter from Cardinal Juan José Omella, Archbishop of Barcelona, entitled “The Necessary Dialogue with Islam.” Ballester’s critique was pointed, suggesting that “for Islam, one either believes or remains an infidel to be subdued in one way or another.”

The memorial service for Charlie Kirk was likely the largest evangelistic event in history. Over 70,000 people crowded into the stadium, and an estimated 100 to 130 million more watched the service on television and online. Afterwards, on social media posts, people described returning to church, attending for the first time, recommitting their lives to follow Christ, or declaring a long-concealed faith.

Many people are describing the memorial and its aftermaths as an indication of revival. That makes sense, given that church attendance is on the rise, especially among younger Americans. That number has spiked again in recent weeks, rising another 15% since Kirk’s memorial. There is also the “Quiet Revival” in the U.K., public baptisms at colleges and universities (some of which, most notably at Ohio State University, are hosted by the football team), the awakening at Asbury University, and the much-discussed “vibe shift” across various aspects of American culture. Is “revival” the correct word for what we are witnessing? If so, what should we be doing? How now shall we live?

Perhaps no figure in history is better suited to advise on these matters than Jonathan Edwards, perhaps America’s greatest intellect and someone who played a critical role in America’s First Great Awakening. Even more, he studied the awakening, sought to understand and describe it, and to discern between revival and its excesses.

As a New England colonial preacher, Edwards was grieved by the spiritual deadness he sensed around him. In response, he spent much time praying and working in expectation that God would eventually bring revival. In 1731, Edwards preached a series of sermons that turned dozens and eventually hundreds to the Lord. He was both witness to this awakening and its most important chronicler, hoping to help the Church recognize signs of the Holy Spirit moving among a people.

Hi,

I hope this is okay to ask here? If not, feel free to move/remove as appropriate.

But, I was doing some online research into SDA and wondered why vegetarianism is listed as a feature?

Can anyone explain for me?

Thanks so much and God bless.

Life is not always easy. Sometimes it is very hard. We go through trials and tribulations to test our faith. We face serious challenges. Sometimes we have to make what may appear to be life and death decisions. We come up against opposition and people who dislike us or who disapprove of us because of our walks of faith in obedience to the Lord, and because we teach the truth of the Scriptures and not the lies which are so popular. And so it is comforting to know that our Lord is with us through every step of the way.

Now, when I say “us,” I am speaking of those who are of genuine faith in the Lord Jesus Christ through dying with Christ to sin and being raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin, but as slaves to God and to his righteousness (See Romans 6:1-23). We are not perfect people yet, because we are still clay in the hands of the Potter (God) being made into the likeness of character of Jesus Christ. But we are those for whom sin is no longer our practice, but obedience to God’s commands is our practice (see Luke 9:23-26).

No matter what we are going through, or what life challenges we are being faced with day by day, we can confidently rest in our Lord, knowing that he has all things under his command, and that he will work it all out according to his plan, as long as we rest in him and we cooperate with his plan for our lives, by his grace, and in his power. We do not have to fear what other humans are doing, or how that might impact us, as long as our trust is in the Lord and we are relying on his strength and wisdom to make it through.


All throughout human history there have been people who have strongly opposed God and his servants and messengers, and such is it now, too. Especially in our present day and age, those who are of genuine obedient faith in the Lord Jesus, who are following the Lord with their lives in surrender to the will of God, are on “the chopping block,” i.e. they are in danger of being removed and eliminated from the fellowship and approval of a large majority of people who profess faith in Jesus Christ, pastors included.

Why? Because a cheaper version of “the gospel” has taken over and is leading what seems to be the majority of those professing faith in Jesus Christ to follow after the lies and to reject the truth of the gospel. For they are being told that all they have to do is to make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ and now all their sins are forgiven and heaven is secured them for eternity, but regardless of how they live. Not many these days are teaching God’s requirements for death to sin and obedience to our Lord.

So, if you are a follower of Christ who is teaching the biblical gospel in an era where the majority seem to all be accepting the lies of the enemy as truth, don’t be surprised if you lose friends and if other professing Christians turn against you and/or are hateful toward you, and/or if they just exclude you and ignore you. Keep sharing the truth that faith in Jesus, which is persuaded of God, requires that we deny self, die to sin daily, and walk in obedience to our Lord’s commands, in practice, or not have life in Christ.

So, which commandments does Jesus say that we must follow?

Is it the original 10 commandments, as set out in the book of Exodus, or is it the commandments Jesus talks about in the New Testament?

Imagine a world where everyone goes to church but never sees our true God in action. Where God is believed in but however no one ever feels His love. Where fear defeats the purpose of sanctity because we are without any level of spirituality. What if the freemasons have a point that freedom is what we make of it? Religion without curiosity is like a flame off of a candle where it will soon die because it has no fuel to feed it. What if for a moment we were fooled yet again after all we put our faith in men a book or a building. The wind can't drive us, and the rain can't heal us, without nature we are in a dome of death. I do not celebrate the murder of the messenger, but I cannot agree that all spiritual liberty should be frowned upon. Yes, indeed there are evil doers and magic is real. However, if we are to truly survive against it, prayer alone may not be your best options to counter the ways of wicked people. Remember even the church is guilty of such hypocrisies. I would not be here today if it wasn't so. I'd have never met the Great One had I not had myself freed of great evils that were dispelled for good reason. We must seek God, and at the same time listen to the voices of the forest. Only then are we in good faith...

The United States Department of Justice is vowing to appeal what it is describing as a “woefully insufficient” sentence for the trans-identified man who attempted to assassinate U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

In a statement published Friday, the DOJ announced that Nicholas Roske was sentenced to eight years in prison for attempting to kill Kavanaugh in June 2022, as the U.S. Supreme Court was poised to hand down the Dobbs v. Jackson decision that overruled the Roe v. Wade ruling that made abortion legal nationwide.

A leaked draft of the Dobbs decision published in May 2022 indicated that Kavanaugh was one of five justices who had signed onto the majority opinion overruling Roe, which was released two weeks after Kavanaugh’s attempted assassination.

October is designated by the Catholic Church as the Month of the Rosary, and Oct. 7 is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.

Here are seven common myths and facts about this devotion to Our Lady:

1. Only Catholics can pray the rosary.​

False. While rosaries are typically associated with Catholics, non-Catholics can certainly pray the rosary — and in fact, many credit it to their conversion. Even some Protestants recognize the rosary as a valid form of prayer.

2. Praying the rosary is idolatry.​

False. Some have objections to the rosary, claiming it idolizes Mary and is overly repetitive.

Just like any practice, the rosary can be abused — just as someone might idolize a particular pastor or priest, a form of worship, or fasting. But the rosary itself is not a form of idolatry.

The rosary is not a prayer to Mary — it is a meditation on the life of Christ revealed in five mysteries “with the purposes of drawing the person praying deeper into reflecting on Christ’s joys, sacrifices, sufferings, and the glorious miracles of his life.”

Continued below.

Many, many points here to contend with on this one. As almost every Christian knows, when Jesus returns, He will do it in the same way as He ascended to Heaven (so the angels said) (They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.” ACTS 1:11).

We are also told that many will come pretending to be Jesus. What if these false Jesus' arrive the same way Jesus said He would return? How would we know the difference. Yes, maybe after a while we would start to see the falseness in those impersonators but at first, we may not.

And now that I put "the false Jesus appearing the same way the real Jesus is suppose to arrive" into your head, what happens if the real Jesus arrives but we are too cautious to recognize Him afraid we might get duped.

National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 is designed to address what the article calls "ideological markers" which supposedly indicate support of violence. Included in the order are things deemed "anti-Americanism" and "anti-capitalism".

Also included are things deemed "anti-Christianity". How far would that go?

If a public debate were held between a Christian and a non-Christian and the latter received applause, cheers and maybe even laughter from non-Christians in the audience, could they all be accused of "intimidation" of the Christians?

If Jews for Jesus gathered at a public venue and members of Jews for Judaism showed up to counter with arguments of their own, could the Torah-observant Jews be accused of attacking Christianity?

If victims of psychological or emotional abuse called out the abusers, could they be accused by those abusers of "hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality"?

Where does this order draw the line to protect free and open religious discourse?

A song from the perspective of Jesus calling people deeper for true satisfaction and rest from the hectic world.
