Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God (God incarnate) came down to the earth, took on human flesh, was born as a baby to a human mother, but was conceived of the Holy Spirit. So when he lived on the earth he was fully God and fully human. He performed all kinds of miracles and he preached repentance and obedience to God for the forgiveness of sins and for eternal life with God. But then the people killed him. Yet on the third day he rose from the dead. After 40 days of appearing to people he ascended back to heaven, and after some time he sent his Holy Spirit to indwell his followers.

And this was the beginning of the church. But as Jesus was persecuted and put to death, so were many who were following him in obedience to his gospel message, and so many of them were scattered, too. Now they did not meet in “church buildings” like many Christians do today. They met in people’s homes and in the temple courts, which were open to the Gentiles, and wherever they could find a place to meet. And the apostles were spread out among all these gatherings in these various locations. So, the apostles could not always be with one group of people for a long time.

At least, this is my understanding. And the apostles had to travel long distances, by foot sometimes. And Paul was in prison a lot of this time, so his only way of communicating with the Christians then was through letters which were handwritten and sent through a messenger and then read by the churches. They did not all have copies of the Bible like we have today in our individual homes. And the church of the Thessalonians was not necessarily one congregation of believers in Christ all meeting in one location. But these letters were generally addressed to all the believers in a single city.

So, when Paul wanted to check in on a particular group of Christians in any given location, if he could not be there personally, he would send someone else to check on them and to help establish and exhort them in their walks of faith. Although they had the Holy Spirit living within them, again they did not have the written word like so many of us do today in our own homes. And they did not have the modern means of communication and transportation that we are so blessed with today to where we can communicate with people all over the world on a device in our own homes.

And the reason that it was so critical to have one of the leaders of the faith encourage and exhort the young Christians is because the early church also faced much persecution and opposition for their faith in Jesus Christ. And so I am certain that it could get very discouraging for them, especially if they did not have a leader with them all the time to help them in their walks of faith in obedience to the Lord. And then he reminded them that we are destined for such persecutions. And if we are not persecuted at all for our walks of faith, then something is terribly wrong.

And it is important that we are being told that if we follow Jesus with our lives, in truth, in practice, that we will be persecuted, so that when it happens, we are not taken out by it, but so that we can be strengthened and encouraged by it. For so many people today are so diluting the gospel message that the “faith” that many have is not biblical faith, and so they are not suffering persecution, because they don’t stand out as different from the world, and they are not standing for righteousness in a wicked world. Or if their faith is genuine, they are not spiritually prepared to suffer for Christ.

So, we must not sugar coat the gospel message or to make it so simple that it loses its power to change human lives. We must prepare people for the reality that a decision to believe in Jesus involves dying with Christ to sin daily and following our Lord in walks of obedience, or we don’t have genuine salvation from sin (Luke 9:23-26). And we must prepare them for the reality that if their faith is genuine, and they are actually doing what the Scriptures teach we must do, that they will be persecuted and rejected and cast aside even by those they thought loved them and cared about them.

And it is so critical, as the body of Christ, that we are in the practice of encouraging one another in our walks of faith in obedience to our Lord and in holy living so that not one of us is led astray by false teachings and diluted gospels and by fine-sounding words which tickle itching ears. So we are to be speaking the truth to one another in love so that none of us is hardened by sin’s deceitfulness, so we are not led astray by false doctrines, and so we are not discouraged nor frightened by those who will oppose us and attack us because of our faith in Jesus Christ.

Why Are You Afraid?

An Original Work / December 5, 2013
Based off Various Scriptures

Do not be afraid.
Your Lord is always by your side.
Serve the Lord in righteousness
Before Him all your days.

Those who hate the light
Will not come to the Lord.
They fear their deeds
Might be noticed.
So, they hate the light,
And they embrace the night.

Do not be afraid,
Although your enemy attacks.
Dare to share your testimony
Of God’s saving grace.

Do not fear their threats,
But honor Christ, your Lord.
Be prepared to give an answer
For the hope you have,
With gentleness; respect.

Why are you afraid?
For all that’s hidden will be shown.
What I tell you, speak in daylight.
Let the truth be known.

Do not be afraid
Of those who’ll take your life.
Fear the Lord with understanding.
Trust Him with your life,
And give not up to strife.

Do not be afraid.
Take courage, it is I, your Lord.
Bow before Me; now adore Me.
Oh, why do you doubt?

Listen to the Lord.
Get up and bear His name!
Run and tell the world He loves them.
Jesus came to save.
Give Him your all today.

All that I have was given to me by the Lord Jesus. John 1:12-13 says that, to those who receive Jesus Christ; to those who believe on his name, he gives the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 3:16 says that “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

John 17:8 states that Jesus gave us the words that the Father gave him. John 1:9 states that Jesus, the true light, gives light to men. John 3:34 says that God gives the Spirit without limit. John 4:14 says that Jesus gives living water that becomes in us a spring of water (speaking of the Spirit) welling up to eternal life. In John 6:32 we learn that God gives us the true bread from heaven, Jesus Christ. In John 10:28 Jesus said that he gives eternal life to those who listen to his voice, who follow him, and whom he knows.

Jesus also gives us peace (John 14:27) and answers our prayers, if we remain in him and his words remain in us (John 15:7), and he gives us so, so much more! And everything he has given to me, I freely give back to him to be used for his purposes and for his glory, so that all that I have truly belongs to God and is dedicated to him for his service. He has my heart and my life, and I belong to him.

Your Grace Divine

An Original Work / November 6, 2011

All I have is Yours, Lord.
You gave all to me,
When You died at Calv’ry
On that cruel tree.
Crucified for my sins;
You paid what I owe,
So I’d be forgiven;
My God come to know.
All I have is Yours, Lord.
You gave all to me,
When You died at Calv’ry
On that cruel tree.

Lord, I am so thankful
For Your grace divine.
I invited You, Lord,
In this heart of mine.
I have been forgiven
For all of my sins,
So I’d live with Jesus;
His grace flow within.
Lord, I am so thankful
For Your grace divine.
I invited You, Lord,
In this heart of mine.

Growing in Your grace, Lord;
Live for You each day;
How I love to worship
You throughout my day.
Sitting at Your feet, Lord,
List’ning to You speak,
Leads me to love You, Lord,
More throughout the week.
Growing in Your grace, Lord;
Live for You each day;
How I love to worship
You throughout my day.

Relatively recently before the assassination attempt.


I saw the thread on motives was shut down so please keep this thread to discussion of motives and evidence for motives as it's released/found.


In the months leading up to the assassination, Crooks’ purchases of gun parts and chemicals might not have seemed strange to his parents, Mr. Rojek said. He was a gun enthusiast and had a longtime interest in science.
The Trump campaign didn’t announce the Butler rally until July 3, 10 days before it was to take place. Crooks' planning started soon after.
On July 6, Crooks, a registered Republican, signed up to attend. That same day, he looked up the distance that Lee Harvey Oswald had to fire when he killed President John F. Kennedy.
This article contains some odd details that I haven't found in other articles. Apparently, Crooks registered Republican the same day he signed up to attend the rally....and that suggests it was simply done to throw investigators and the internet off his motives and genuine political beliefs.
Other odd details include the time-line for his acquisition of bomb-making materials.
Something else a coworker pointed out to me but I haven't been able to confirm as true is the possibility that this was the first Trump rally of this presidential campaign CNN decided to live stream. Something more obvious but no less odd is the speed at which the media has stopped talking about this story. They spent months discussing Trump's case regarding classified documents and Mar-a-lago despite all evidence essentially being available after the first week. Months of analysis and speculation. Now we have an extremely rare attempt on the life of a candidate that barely failed and it's being scrubbed from public discussion faster than you can say abracadabra.
Thoughts?

Edit- ugh...my mistake. I misread the "on the same day" part....the article doesn't mention when he registered Republican. I'm leaving it up for the other odd details like the bomb making time-line, etc.

One avenue Trump has floated to compensate for those reductions is to ramp up tariffs.
He’s dangled a 10% across-the-board tariff on foreign imports broadly and suggested 60% tariffs (or even higher) on imports from China.

A lot of people worked hard and were already taxed, and now the government taxes them again on Social Security. Why should they have to pay taxes again, takes that go for the student loan payoffs or the various woke programs and EV promotions and "equity" training and benefits for illegals?

At the Medina Square Farmer's Market two weeks ago, this guy approached us while we were praying. It was an interesting conversation with his beliefs and that Christianity took the name of God from a god of wind...?

They are about to be attacked and spanked by Iran. They can strike pre emptively or wait. Which do you? Pray for minor losses and good defense again. America is helping. Pray for America. Pray that it’s not eze 38 because we are not supposed to be hear then. In the Name of Jesus…. Protect Israel. Amen.

Harris Tells Teachers: “We Want to Ban Assault Weapons; They Want to Ban Books."​

Trump’s Plan to Enforce Amnesia by Law: Teaching History will be a Criminal Act​

Do you know about Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order 13950? If you don’t, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Just weeks before he was fired by America’s voters in 2020, President Trump issued this piece of nastiness which was quickly rescinded by just-inaugurated President Biden.

The Executive Order is a “DCL,” what the right-wing brilliantly calls a, “Divisive Concepts Law.” These DCL’s terrorize teachers with the threat of losing their jobs if they dare teach the truth of America’s racial history: That white people enslaved Africans, that the Klan enforced racial vote suppression with the hanging rope. And God forbid, they teach that women were banned from the vote until the 20th Century. The Executive Order bans teaching any historical facts if,

“…. any individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race or sex….”

As a practical matter, it means teaching the truth of America’s racial stain will get you fired. In 2021, Tennessee high school teacher Matt Hawn lost his job because a student accused him of teaching—cover your children’s ears— “Critical Race Theory.” Hawn said he’d never heard of Critical Race Theory when he was canned.

(Critical Race Theory, taught in law schools, says many of America’s laws and their enforcement, contain a racial bias. Well, D’oh!].

On Thursday, Vice-President Harris told the American Federation of Teachers convention in Houston, epicenter of the anti-CRT hysteria,

“While you teach students about our nation's past, these extremists attack the freedom to learn and acknowledge our nation's true and full history, including book bans! Book bans — in this year 2024! Just think about it: we want to ban assault weapons, and they want to ban books.”

It was a century ago, that Tennessee was the laughingstock of the nation for prosecuting a schoolteacher for telling his class about human evolution, a story recounted in the film, Inherit the Wind. Now, a hundred years later, Trumpsters are again passing wind over Tennessee.

And he’s baaaaack! Trump has put his fixation with censoring “divisive concepts” into the GOP platform. Details are provided in the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 master plan for the master race.

Ill wind out of Georgia​

This ill wind originated in Georgia when Gov. Brian Kemp signed HB1084, threatening the jobs of teachers for teaching ‘divisive concepts’ that could make a white child feel “discomfort.”

Who would feel “discomfort” about the uncensored history of Georgia? Well, maybe it’s Gov. Kemp himself. Because it was the Kemp family, then known as the Habershams, that first brought Africans in chains to Georgia.

Who would feel “discomfort” about the uncensored history of Georgia? Well, maybe it’s Gov. Kemp himself. Because it was the Kemp family, then known as the Habershams, that first brought Africans in chains to Georgia.

Maybe Kemp and family should feel a bit of discomfort. I spoke with Janie Banse, who told me she is she is heartsick that her cousin, Gov. Kemp, won’t admit that their family’s wealth originated in the African slave trade. Kemp’s ancestors held the largest auction of human beings in American history, still remembered by Black Georgians today as “Weeping Time,” when 436 men, women and their children were separated and sold.

Georgia’s HB 1084, passed in 2022,

The Paraclete is a special function of the Holy Spirit. It is God's deposit guarantee in 2 Corinthians 5:

5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit [neuter] as a deposit [G728], guaranteeing what is to come.

The Paraclete is one kind of deposit [G728].

There is another kind of deposit/trust in (ESV) 2 Timothy 1:

14 By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you

Strong's 3866: A deposit, anything committed to one's charge or trust. From paratithemi; a deposit, i.e. trust.

We have one deposit guarding another deposit. By the Paraclete (G728-deposit), we guard the good deposit (G3866-deposit) or the sound teaching entrusted to us.

Both the Father and the Son send the Paraclete from the Father to the believers.

I'm looking for some simple recipes for food from India. Anyone have some to share?

Yes, 1 Timothy 4:

1 Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, 2 influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.

Click to expand...

Believers can damage their consciences through persistent sin or false teaching. Some Christians abandon their faith, and their consciences can be seared.

But can a Christian sear his conscience to permanent damage, or can he sear it, but it can be fixed?

Some can be permanently seared. Some may repent after temporary searing.

1 Corinthians 5:

5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.

Leave him to Satanic influences. Hopefully, he will learn and repent.

Anyone, Christians and non-Christians, through stubborn unrepentance, can damage their consciences.

A fellow blogger wrote what I consider to be a superb blog post yesterday that I just read today. He began by saying, “Just about everywhere you look these days, there are articles and posts galore about the coming Presidential election, authored by Christians from all walks of life.” And that is the topic of his post, but it is so much more than that, so I would like to recommend that you read his post, in full, for he speaks so much truth to this subject.

I am going to quote here a couple of the key Scriptures that he referenced, and then I will share his closing remarks, and then I will share a link to his blog post, and after that I will share another key passage of Scripture related to this subject, as well as a song which is also relevant. Then, after that I plan to share a meme which I read on Facebook which is also relevant to this topic. All of what is said here is critical that we understand this.





Do you understand what all this is about? Well, so many Christians today have this idea that they should be fighting for and supporting people of the flesh to come to their rescue and to save them from what ails our nations. So they are trying to change their nations and what ails them by putting their trust in human flesh and by engaging themselves in this political battle of who is right and who is wrong. And so you will see on their social media posts what they like about their candidate and what they reject about the opposing candidate, thinking that is going to make things better.

But Jesus Christ did not call us to get involved in civilian affairs (politics). And his answer for what ails our nations is himself and us crucified with him in death to sin and raised with him 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. So we are to be about the Master’s work, and not the works of the flesh of man and of worldly kingdoms. So if we want to change our nations for the better, we should be doing what Jesus commanded us all to do. We should be preaching the gospel and teaching people to obey Jesus Christ.

Teach Them

An Original Work / May 24, 2012
Based off various scriptures

Open up the blinded eyes of
Those who walk in sin’s darkness.
Turn them to the light of Christ
And to His righteousness.
Turn them from the pow’r of Satan.
Turn them to the peace of Christ,
So they may receive forgiveness
And eternal life.

Teach them to put off their old selves
And their former way of life,
And to put on their new self,
Reborn to be like Christ;
To not copy worldly customs;
Be transformed in life and mind;
Obey freely His word in them,
Pleasing unto God.

Teach them how to love their neighbors
Truly as they love themselves;
Be a witness; share the gospel;
Satan’s lies dispel;
Comfort all who mourn in sadness;
Share Christ’s love and joy today.
Do this through your life and witness
For your Lord always.

Jesus multiplied the loaves and the fish and then walked on water in Mk 6

51 And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, 52 for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

These signs and others demonstrated that Jesus was the divine Son of God.

Jesus drove out a demon from a Syrophoenician woman and healed a deaf and mute man in Mk 7.

Jesus fed the four thousand in Mk 8:

17b Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”
“Twelve,” they replied.
20“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”
They answered, “Seven.”

Click to expand...

There was a positive correlation between the crowd size and leftovers: the more people eating, the more leftovers. That's kind of natural.

There was a negative correlation between crowd size and the initial loaves: the more people eating, the less the initial provision. That's supernatural.

There was a negative correlation between the initial loaves and leftovers: the less the initial provision, the more the leftovers.

21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”

Jesus could do more, even with less. He was the divine Son of God.

He continued to heal a blind man and predicted his death.

29 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”

Click to expand...

Finally, Peter recognized that Jesus was the Messiah. That was still short of recognizing Jesus as God.

What was the significance of the numbers in Mk 8:19-20?

They showed that Jesus did more with less, which was evidence that he was the Messiah, the divine Son of God.

Why does God allow suffering? Have you ever asked that question? We’re talking about it in our new series, Ever Wonder Why?

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
Have you ever had a question so hard you wouldn’t even say it out loud? Or a doubt so big you didn’t feel like you could share it—especially at church? Maybe it’s time to ask the tough questions together in our new series, Ever Wonder Why?

Departing from ‘sola Scriptura,’ Luther said there was nothing in Scripture about the Assumption, yet he still believed it, implicitly on the authority of the Church and tradition.





Ludwig von Löfftz, “The Assumption of Mary,” 1888 (photo: Public Domain)

In The One Mediator, the Saints, and Mary, Lutheran scholar Eric W. Gritsch, who was a major translator in the English set, Luther’s Works, observed that “Luther affirmed Mary’s assumption into heaven but did not consider it to be of benefit to others or accomplished in any special way.”

In the same book, 12 Lutheran and 10 Catholic scholars participated. Their “Common Statement” (a sort of creed-like formulation agreed upon by all) yielded some very interesting conclusions indeed:

• “Luther preached on the Assumption. … There were early Lutheran pastors who affirmed the Assumption as both evangelical and Lutheran.”
• “From the Lutheran side, one may recall the honor and devotion paid to the Mother of God by Luther himself, including his own attitude to the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption, which he accepted in some form.”

Luther stated in a sermon in 1522:

There can be no doubt that the Virgin Mary is in heaven. How it happened we do not know. And since the Holy Spirit has told us nothing about it, we can make of it no article of faith.

Luther signed an Aug. 19, 1527, letter to Georg Spalatin in the following (very “un-Protestant”) manner:

Yours, Monday after the Assumption of Mary, 1527. Martin Luther.

In his 1532 sermon, Luther stated:

PARIS (OSV News) — Paris is known as the City of Light, and those lights are shining extra brightly these days as men and women from around the world are competing in the 33rd Summer Olympics. In addition to the city’s 12.4 million residents, 15.3 million visitors are expected to descend upon France’s capital over the course of the 16 days of competition.

Such crowds present a unique opportunity for pilgrim sites in the city — chief among them the famous Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Montmartre, which has offered perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament since 1885.

After passing the House in January, a bill to further expand child tax credits and certain tax breaks for businesses failed to pass the Senate this week.

The measure, which included portions addressing child tax credits, business taxes, and international trade, would increase the IRS child tax credit from the current amount of $1,600 to $2,000 per child in 2025.

The bill needed 60 votes to pass, but after opposition from Republicans the final vote on Thursday was 48 in favor and 44 opposed, with eight not voting.

3 Times Jesus Wept And What We Learn From His TearsMay 22, 2019​

Scott Pauley


Several months ago, I preached a message on the tears of Jesus. Our Savior was a “man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief” (Isaiah 53:5). This is more than mere emotionalism or shallow sentimentality – it is a reminder that He cares and that He carries our burdens. There are three times in Scripture that Jesus wept (John 11:35; Luke 19:41; Hebrews 5:7-9). Each is near the end of His life and each reveals what matters most to our loving God. He truly is “touched with the feeling of our infirmities” (Hebrews 4:15). His tears are a reminder that He loves sinners and cares for every soul.
A few weeks ago, I received a very kind email from a young lady who listened to that particular Bible message. She is a gifted poet with a heart to help others. Out of the truth that was shared, the Lord gave her a beautiful poem to express the message. I asked if I could pass it along to others and she has graciously allowed me to share it here. I hope that it will encourage you to see the tenderness of Christ and to ask the Lord to fill your heart with His own love for others…
I asked the Lord to give me love -
His love for souls in sin;
Instead He gave me weeping eyes,
A broken heart within.

I asked Him why He gave me tears,
He took me back in time
To when my Savior lived on earth,
When He was in His prime.

I saw Him go to where His friend
Was lying in a grave;
The sisters and their friends were grieved -
What love to them He gave.

You see my Savior standing there
Was also grieved that day,
He wept great heaving tears with sobs
Till those who saw could say:

"Behold we see now how He loved."
His tears revealed His heart
His love was evident through tears -
I saw God's point in part.

And then He took me to the day
The people hailed their King
While Jesus enters to their cheers
The children run and sing.

But when He saw Jerusalem
Stretched out before His eye,
His soul was moved with grief for them;
It moved His heart to cry.

Oh, as I read those solemn words
I feel that they are sweet
For in them I behold His love
So perfect and complete.

To one more place He took me now,
At midnight I beheld
The Son of God bowed down with grief
In deepest sorrow held.

I heard His weeping, strong and deep,
But through it I discerned
He prayed for me - it melted me,
His love for me I learned.

With tearful joy I thanked the Lord
For answering my prayer,
For giving me His love for souls -
His tears, His heart, His care.
-Christina Joy Hommes

I believe the most important thing in life, after believing in Jesus, is being filled with the Holy spirit like pentecostals believe, this is real, not every believer gets filled at believing in Jesus, like in the bible, sometimes we need to seek it, and for me is the meaning of life to have Him like that, he is our creator and he can be guide and friend. He is not like the kings of this earth who don't give even the time of day, but he is more important than any of those, the bible says he wishes us i don't remember the exact word in English, but our creator is such a beautiful person and wants to be our comforter guide and friend, is so awesome but people miss him, for wrong beliefs, like "everyone gets filled at believing" that has to be one of the most damaging beliefs ever.

HI everyone, I would greatly appreciate your prayers- I am in need of a miracle! I am in a situation where I am going to get evicted from my current apartment by Dec 1 of this year, I am on a mad dash to get new housing before they throw me out. I have been in my current apartment for about 5 years now and it is the pit of hell, there is an extremely evil presence here and a huge drug problem, and there are fist-fights in the street sometime. I went for a tour at a local apartment complex earlier today with my parents and I don't like it (it is called Essex House), however my parents did like it and now they have their hearts set on me moving in and it looks like they are going to try to force me to move in, there is an extremely evil presence in the building, it is so evil you can feel it, also it seems to be in a bad area and I would not feel safe going out for a walk at night. I have until this monday to get back to them with my decision to move in or not, I need for a way out of this right now or my parents will make me move it and it will just be a repeat of before, one evil apartment complex for another! Please pray for my deliverance from this situation and that my parents stop trying to run my life and that they will not force me to move in!
