Afghanistan’s Foreign Ministry called it a historic step, and quoted Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi as welcoming the decision as “a good example for other countries.”

The Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August 2021 following the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces. Since then, they have sought international recognition while also enforcing their strict interpretation of Islamic law.

Now the context of this is the signs of the end of the age and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. There will be many false prophets and teachers, some of whom may proclaim that they are the Christ, the long awaited Messiah, while others might just act as though they are gods to be worshiped above God. But many will be misled by these false teachers to believe an altered gospel message intended to suit the sinful desires of the flesh and to ignore God’s requirements of death to sin and obedience to his commands.

And then there will be wars between nations. And evil people, some of them disguising themselves as followers of Christ, will deliver up true followers of Christ to persecution and to tribulation and to death, on account of their walks of faith in the Lord Jesus and their obedience to the Lord, and because of their testimonies and their witness for the Lord Jesus and for sharing the true gospel message that many do not want to hear or believe. And some of us will be betrayed to the death by those pretending to care about us.

And God will judge his idolatrous and adulterous church which has largely gone the way of the world and has given their loyalty and devotion to what is not of God, but what is of human flesh. And there will be great tribulation beyond what many of us have never experienced before. But for the sake of the elect, this time of tribulation will be cut short for the salvation of human lives. But we are to be so guarded against false prophets and the lies which they spread. We must be very discerning people so we don’t get trapped.

Now, not one of us knows when this is going to take place, but we should be able to discern when the time is getting near when we see the signs being fulfilled before our eyes. And we are to take this very seriously and not think that we can just live however we want, like many people are believing that they can do and still end up in heaven. For our Lord made it quite clear that we must forsake our sins and follow our Lord in obedience to his commands or we will not inherit eternal life with God, but we’ll end up in hell.

For 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).

And we learn in 1 John 1:6-7: “If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” And in 1 John 2:4-5: “The one who says, ‘I have come to know Him,’ and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected.”

And in 1 John 3:7-8,10: “Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.” “By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.” So we need to take this to heart.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 1:12-13; John 6:44; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 2:6-8; 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 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:5-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10]

Oh, to Be Like Thee, Blessed Redeemer

Lyrics by Thomas O. Chisholm, 1897
Music by W. J. Kirkpatrick, 1897

Oh, to be like Thee! blessèd Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer;
Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

Oh, to be like Thee! full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
Seeking the wandering sinner to find.

O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer others to save.

O to be like Thee! while I am pleading,
Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love;
Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
Fit me for life and Heaven above.

Oh, to be like Thee! Oh, to be like Thee,
Blessèd Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

We Must Be Ready
An Original Work / July 6, 2025
Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

Can you guys please pray that God gets me pregnant & let's me know if I am pregnant this month. Please and thankyou!

Peace in Christ.

Do men gather…collect…grapes (literally, a cluster of grapes) from thorns or figs from thistles?

Mat 7:16-18 KJV
(16) Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
(17) Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
(18) A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

While the “thorns” and “thistles” should remind us of Genesis 3:18, the gathering of grapes and figs should remind us of the 12 spies sent by Moses into the “land of Canaan”….that is, the EARTH of Canaan (meaning “to bring down into subjection.” )

In Christ, we are to gather all things in heaven and in the earth (the land of Canaan) into subjection under the Head of Christ.

Moses sent out 12 spies to “spy” out the land of Canaan…but only 2 (Joshua and Caleb…the good trees) had a good report while the others the (corrupt trees) brought forth a bad report of the land of Canaan.

Let me guess who the “two” men were who were able to bare the “cluster of grapes” between them upon a staff? Could it have been Joshua and Caleb?

Num 13:23-24 KJV
(23) And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
(24) The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

What is the response of the people of the outside world toward us…His people…today?

Are they strong or weak toward us…are they good or bad to us….are they in tents or in strong holds before us? Are they lean or fat towards us?
If we are following a false prophet, then the people of the outside world are strong against us...they are bad towards us....they live in strongholds....they are lean towards us.

A "bad tree" will always bring forth bad fruit from the outside world. You shall know that you are following after false prophets from the fruits that the world brings forth towards you.

Num 13:17-20 KJV
(17) And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
(18) And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
(19) And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
(20) And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.

The “bad trees” …the other 10 spies….bring forth bad fruit as the outside people of the world are bad towards them…they are strong towards them….they bring forth “thorns and thistles”. The outside people of this world “eat up the inhabitants”. They are stronger than them. The people of the outside world see us in their sight as "grasshoppers"...they look down at us when we are following false prophets.

Num 13:30-33 KJV
(30) And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
(31) But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
(32) And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
(33) And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

But if we are “good trees”…then the LORD delights in us and will bring us into this earth (land) and give it to us. This earth will then flow with “milk and honey” rather than produce “thorns and thistles” towards us.

Num 14:6-9 KJV
(6) And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
(7) And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
(8) If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

The people of the outside world are “bread” for us. Their “defense”…that is, their shade or darkness…departs from them and the LORD is with us. His presence is then with us…His light shines towards the people of the outside world who will then bring forth good fruit towards us.

(9) Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.

Num 13:27 KJV
(27) And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

Their “defense”….their darkness…shall depart as His light shine from us to them. The glory of the LORD shall arise upon us…..and the earth will then flow with “milk and honey” as the people of the outside world will come to that light. They will not treat us badly but will come to us...the forces of the nations shall come unto us.

Isa 60:1-9 KJV
(1) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
(2) For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
(3) And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
(4) Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
(5) Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
(6) The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.
(7) All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.
(8) Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
(9) Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

Please pray that if it is God's will my husband Robb and son Jakeb both have a happy healthy day and that there is nothing seriously wrong with either of them. I'm so worried. I ask in the name of Jesus. God bless you and thank you. Carmen.

Martinez first came to the United States as a minor in 2008. He’s attempted to attain citizenship since turning 18, a process his wife, Maria Pacheco, describes as “very difficult.” He’s been living in Helena with Pacheco and their four children since July 2022.

“The long version is federal marshals and HP task force officers were hunting for a guy that had a felony warrant. During surveillance, they saw a male that essentially one of the federal agencies said, ‘Hey, this might be the guy. He matches a description. He’s getting in a red truck. He’s leaving,’” said Lt. Adam Shanks, of the Helena Police Department. “So they looked at the red truck. They ran the license plate. It came back as an expired license plate. That’s when they requested our assistance.”

[After being let go with a traffic summons by local police,] he was stopped again – this time by a combination of the U.S. Marshals Service, Homeland Security Investigations, and U.S. Border Patrol, with assistance from the Helena police.

Even as Martinez was continuing citizenship paperwork, Pacheco was surprised how “quick and in the dark” his detention was.

“They took my husband without any rights, with nothing,” she said. “They took him in a van that wasn’t even labeled. The people that took him were dressed in black, had no logo on their clothes either. He didn’t get a chance to talk, he didn’t get his right to have an attorney during the time he was held. The way they just stopped him because he looks similar to one of them, and just automatically sent him to ICE makes no sense to me.”

“Mr. Martinez was arrested and detained by Helena police and federal authorities based on what appears to be racial profiling,” said Andres Haladay, an attorney with Upper Seven Law [representing him]. “Consistent with normal court procedure and the federal Constitution, the Montana District Court ordered federal authorities not to transfer Mr. Martinez out of Montana while we challenge those actions.

Haladay said even communicating with his client has been difficult.

“We got notification that he was there,” said Haladay. “Lewis and Clark County was relatively unhelpful in not confirming his presence, confirming his presence, agreeing to let us speak with him and then preventing us from speaking with him. In all of that, another unmarked vehicle with Washington plates arrived and took him away from the detention center while we were still trying to secure access to him.”

850 rescued in Texas flooding; pastors across Texas call for prayer

At least 27 girls remained missing early Sunday after floodwaters devastated Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp in Hunt, Texas. As search and rescue efforts entered a third day, the disaster was already among the deadliest in the state’s recent history, with pastors across the state urging prayers for affected families.

Officials said 27 girls from the camp, which hosted around 750 children, had not been accounted for after the Guadalupe River rose nearly 25 feet in 45 minutes on Friday, sweeping through the campgrounds and the surrounding Hill Country, where at least 850 people have been rescued and dozens confirmed dead, according to Texas Public Radio.

Camp Mystic was founded nearly a century ago by a University of Texas football coach along the banks of the Guadalupe River, with the goal of providing young girls with a “wholesome Christian atmosphere.” Campers are encouraged to live up to three guiding principles: to become better individuals through their time at Mystic, to let the camp bring out their best qualities, and to experience spiritual growth.

Continued below.

I believe we are in “The days of Noah” in our present day and time, not that Noah is living and building an ark today, and that God is going to send a flood, but that we are living in days like then where so many people are giving no heed to God’s teachings and warnings, but they are living for the flesh, to please the flesh, and not to please God. Even so many who profess faith in Jesus Christ are living very worldly lives, for their own pleasure, and not to please God, and not in obedience to God and to his commandments.

So many are worshiping that which is not God but which of the flesh of man, including certain people who are being raised up to God-like status and who are being followed as though they are gods to be worshiped and believed without consideration that they may be working for the devil, and that they may be feeding us a pack of lies, and that their goal may be to trap us in their schemes or to put us to death, and not to do us good as they promise. So many people are lacking in true biblical discernment in these matters.

So much of what is called “church” these days are creations of human beings, and they are businesses incorporated (merged, combined) with the state (the ungodly), which are being marketed to the world just like any other businesses. And God demands that we come out from among them so that we don’t share in their sins and in their punishment. For so many of these “churches” are being led by the flesh, and not by God, and with the goal to appease human flesh, and not to please and obey Our God.

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

But the biblical church is not these man-made businesses being marketed to the world. The church is the people of God, the body of Christ, made up of all who are of genuine faith in Jesus Christ, who have died with Christ to sin and who are walking in obedience to his commands, and no longer in sin. And Jesus Christ is to be our head, not human flesh, and the Scriptures are to be our guide, not marketing schemes and tricks which are being used to attract the ungodly to the gatherings of these “churches” (businesses).

But these “churches,” which are institutions of man, and not of God, are very popular among the people. And so many of them are teaching a very diluted gospel which permits their adherents to continue living in sin and in disobedience to God without consequence just because they “prayed the prayer,” or just because they made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ. And many are teaching their people that they do not have to repent of their sins and that they do not have to obey God, for they call that legalism.

So what we have are a whole lot of people professing faith in Jesus Christ who have not died with Christ to sin, and so they were not 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. And so they are not “in Christ” by God-persuaded faith in Jesus Christ. And so they are not saved from their sins, and heaven is not their eternal destiny, because they deny Christ by how they live their lives for the sinful pleasures of the flesh and not for God.

And since “the church” is now mostly undistinguishable from the world, as are many “Christians” who say they believe in Jesus Christ. And since so many are living worldly lives for the pleasures of the flesh, and not for God nor according to the teachings of the Scriptures taught in their appropriate context, and so many people are following the ways of the world, and not the ways of God, then we are living in “The Days of Noah,” which will be followed by the judgment of God on his adulterous and idolatrous people.

So, while you still have today, because tomorrow is not guaranteed, surrender your lives to Jesus Christ. Die with him to sin, and now walk in obedience to his commands, by the grace of God, in the power of God. For if you do not do this, and you keep on living for the pleasures of the flesh, you will not inherit eternal life with God, regardless of what your lips profess.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 1:12-13; John 6:44; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 2:6-8; 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 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:5-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10]

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.

I will be with you
My friend
Every single day
Supporting you daily
That is not a lie
We are both good friends
And we have
The same believes
I can't hardly believe that
Also we treat each other with respect
We never once mistreat each other
Because that would be the wrong thing to do
And we don't deserve that
We need to work on our friendship
Because I want it to last a long time
We would be lost in the world
If we didn't had each other

Please pray for healing and for my relationship with Jesus thank you

So everyone wants to blame Israel for starving Gaza...looks like it is Hamas...

The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the transfer of the men who had been put on a flight in May bound for South Sudan. That meant that the South Sudan transfer could be completed after the flight was detoured to a base in Djibouti, where they men were held in a converted shipping container. The flight was detoured after a federal judge found the administration had violated his order by failing to allow the men a chance to challenge the removal.
The liberals have cost this country a lot of money.

There are multiple passages of Scripture, both in the Old Testament, and the New Testament, which speak of the signs of the end of the age. The entire chapter of Matthew 24 is dedicated to that subject. And I personally believe that these verses 9-14 describe well where we are presently in the world.

Although Christian persecution has been ongoing ever since Jesus Christ was put to death on that cross, and rose from the dead, and ascended back to the Father, and sent his Holy Spirit to indwell his followers, I believe it is spreading more rapidly in our present age, and that we even have people purposely giving a bad name to Christianity in order to increase Christian persecution throughout the world (my observation).

And although many Christians throughout the world are suffering tremendously for their walks of faith in Jesus Christ, more in physical ways, often resulting in death, Christian persecution exists even in nations that tout themselves as “Christian nations.” But this persecution is less on a physical level, for now, and is primarily on the level of hate, rejection, mockery, false accusations, and the casting aside of the unwanted.

For, a more diluted and altered and “user friendly” gospel is now what is so popularized and widely accepted. So if you are a Christian who still holds to the tenets of the faith, as Jesus taught them, and as his New Testament apostles taught them, in the correct biblical context, you are likely to be in the minority and among the persecuted who are largely being ignored, cast aside, rejected, falsely accused, and treated as “not worth the time.”

And this includes the fact that many who profess faith in Jesus Christ, or who used to profess faith in the Lord, are not living for the Lord, many who never did, but they are still walking according to the flesh, in sin, and many of them have yielded control of their lives to the flesh, and to the devil, and they are deliberately hating and betraying those of genuine faith in the Lord Jesus, often while pretending love, concern and care, which is a lie.

And false prophets, teachers, preachers, and evangelists are numerous in our day and age, some of them teaching very weird and outlandish stuff, while others have just altered and diluted the gospel of Christ to make it more appealing and acceptable to human flesh and less offensive to the ungodly of this world. For so many are not teaching God’s requirements for death to sin and obedience to God as necessary for faith which saves.

Therefore lawlessness has definitely increased, because so many are not being taught that Jesus Christ put our sins to death with him so we will now die to sin and live for God in walks of surrender to him in obedience to his commands. And so many are being coddled in their sins, and sinful rebellion abounds, even within the gatherings of “the church,” and even in the lives of some pastors, because the sinners are being pampered, not confronted.

And so the love of many has grown cold because they are not in tune with the Holy Spirit, and their lives are not committed to Christ, but they are still living to please the flesh. And then we live in a culture that is entrenched in the media – television, the internet, social media, movies, videos, the news, gaming, and the like. And those who indulge in these sources of information and entertainment often will take on the character of what they consume.

And I am not saying that all these things are all bad. I look at news stories and some videos, and I get on social media and read people’s posts, and I play Scrabble and cards with family members sometimes. But I am not consumed by them, and my life and my values are not directed by them. And I am not claiming that has always been the case, either. But by the grace of God my life is being directed by God. But I am not perfect. Yet, to the best of my understanding, I am walking in obedience to my Lord.

But the love of many has grown cold because their lives are not dedicated to the Lord but they are still living worldly lives to please their flesh. And this is why it is so critical that we be sharing the truth of the gospel of Christ with the people of the world so that many will turn from their sins, and they will now walk in obedience to the Lord, by the grace of God, in the power of God, as being led by God and no longer by their human flesh.

And when this says that those who endure to the end will be saved, this is speaking about us continuing in Christ, in death to sin, and in walks of surrender to God in obedience to his commands, in holy living, as what we practice. For if sin is still what we practice, and not obedience to God and to his commandments, then we don’t know God, we are not in fellowship with Christ, and we will not have eternal life with God regardless of what we say.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 1:12-13; John 6:44; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 2:6-8; 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 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:5-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10]

They Will Betray One Another
An Original Work / July 6, 2025

Sun and her husband Chris Hu both pleaded not guilty during a four-minute proceeding in Brooklyn that set the stage for a potentially sprawling trial focused on accusations she served as a foreign agent for the People’s Republic of China and Chinese Community Party while working at the highest level of New York’s government.
A federal grand jury last week returned a superseding indictment that added more charges against Sun and Hu after the feds said they reaped $8 million in a COVID-era personal protective equipment kickback scheme.

I hope this administration will clean up Dodge.

I don't know the best place for it. I almost posted this as a reply to a thread outside the Christians only section, then figured it would do no good at all.

The issue is the flash flooding on the Guadeloupe River in Texas that has claimed an number of lives. Supposedly the AP claims that amount of rain wasn't in the forecast, but there's a clue in a rise of 28 feet (8.5 meters) in an hour. You only get something like that from rainfall if there is a flash flood. Flash flooding depends on terrain and condition of the soil. We have occasional flash flooding here, but it's after the ground is saturated and it's due to isolated heavy rainfall. In hilly terrain, the shape of the ground "funnels" rain to lower areas, and you have inches of rain become feet of flash floods.

Maybe because I'm not out West, but I don't think I've ever seen a forecast calling for flash floods. I don't think I've even see a flash flood watch. I've seen flood watches and forecasts warning of a potential of flooding, and I've seen flash flood warnings. The latter is when there's a flash flood right at that instance and get to higher ground immediately.

A check quickly came up with the National Weather Service issuing an "emergency" flash flood warning for the Guadeloupe (I thought all flash flood warnings were emergencies) in the early morning hours of July 4. That was from The Weather Channel and some sources local to the event. That fits with what I've seen ever since we heard of flash flood warnings on radio and TV. Here the warnings just pop up as they happen. Some aren't issues. The rainfall in half an hour that exceeded our range gauge capacity? No flash flood warning. When a creek overflowed a culvert and went over a road? No flash flood warning. But there was in the area of the Guadeloupe. The cite from the AP was that there was no forecast of the amount of rain. Yet there were flash flood warnings.

The claim in the post in the other part of CF is that this is all due to cuts in the NWS. But the tragedy that happened on the Guadeloupe fits what I've seen years ago. That creek that went over the road due to heavy rain? That was back in 2008 or 2009 or 2010. Add to it that the warning came in the early morning hours, and you have people not being aware of it. If you have a weather radio, it has to be set to the right station and it has to pick up the signal to get warnings. Cell phone alerts depend on the tower. Just because you get a warning doesn't mean that it will be picked up. Because there's a warning doesn't mean it will get heard.

A check, though does show that there was a flood watch issued the day before, and later extended to 1 PM Friday, July 4. Here's one link: https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/weather/article/weather-san-antonio-flood-watch-20420566.php

Here's a link to the extension:

This doesn't match what is posted in the non-Christians only section and gets to the topic of false witness. If the AP article is correctly cited, then there is no mention of the forecasts cited above. If the issue are budget cuts, then what of the instances I've related where there were no warnings at all? And if these things are known, why not report them?

As I said, I almost posted this in the non-Christian sections and figured it would do absolutely no good at all. All it would do would bring accusations of being a Trump apologist or some sort, even with the cites above. But if we have reason to think information is reported in error, do we have a responsibility to point that out? Or is is such a lost cause that we should say nothing at all.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posted a statement on X Saturday about the attack on the ICE Prairieland Detention Center and the ongoing Antifa attacks on the ICE detention center in Portland, Oregon:
“We are closely monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities in Prairieland, TX, and Portland, OR, and are coordinating with the USAOs and our law enforcement partners. The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible.”

These radical groups and those who help them need to be stopped.

The Associated Press reported Saturday that flooding caused by a powerful storm killed at least 27 people, with dozens more—including as many as 25 girls from a
summer camp along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County—missing after fast-moving floodwaters rose 26 feet (8 meters) in less than an hour before dawn on Friday, sweeping away people and pets along with homes, vehicles, farm and wild animals, and property.

"Listen, everybody got the forecast from the National Weather Service," Kidd reiterated. "You all got it; you're all in media. You got that forecast. It did not predict the amount of rain that we saw."

Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice also said during the press conference that the storm "dumped more rain than what was forecasted" into two forks of the Guadalupe River.

Kerr County judge Rob Kelly told CBS News: "We had no reason to believe that this was gonna be anything like what's happened here. None whatsoever."

Many of the fired NWS staffers were specialized climate scientists and weather forecasters. At the time of the firings, Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), the ranking member of the House Natural Resources Committee, was among those who warned of the cuts' deadly consequences.

"People nationwide depend on NOAA for free, accurate forecasts, severe weather alerts, and emergency information," Huffman said. "Purging the government of scientists, experts, and career civil servants and slashing fundamental programs will cost lives."

Please pray that my son Jakeb feels better and there is nothing seriously wrong and that God heals him. Also please pray that I can hear him talk to his friends tonight and he is happy if it is God's will. I ask in the name of Jesus. Thank you and God bless you. Carmen

So during the 12 day war the topic of regime change for Iran came up, the Ayatollah was in hiding, and the US and Israel flaunted that he was only still alive because they didn't want to kill him yet. Trump talked about it in his social media, the former Crown Prince of Iran even put himself up as a candidate for that change, etc.

But I don't think it'll go like that, for a biblical reason.

Some of you may know, or may not know, that I do not believe that the later chapters of the book of Daniel are historical in nature but prophetic. They may have been foreshadowed by historical events but those historical "fulfillments" have errors to them, they aren't exact, and the Angel Gabriel says the following in Daniel 8:

17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

Click to expand...

The ram and the goat vision is an end times vision.

18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

Click to expand...

The indignation is the end of the age, the wrath of God. There was no end of the age in 334BC

Even if you say "well the last days began on Pentecost", it still doesn't work as Alexander's conquest was over 300 years prior.

The appointed time of the end is eschatological, not historical.

Now Daniel 11 to explain why the Islamic Republic of Iran will not be ended by Israel nor the US, Khamenei will die (he's in his late 80's and his prostate cancer has come back, meaning he's on borrowed time), but the Islamic Clergy will choose his successor on their own, it won't be us instituting the Shah's son.

2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.

Click to expand...

There were far more than 4 kings between Darius and Alexander, so again, this is not historical, it's prophetic. If you go from the Islamic Revolution in 1979, we're on King #2 of Persia, meaning he dies, and gets replaced by the 3rd, and it's the 4th that will be the one that really sets things off, however.

Back to Daniel 8

3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

Click to expand...

Horns are used in both Daniel and Revelation to symbolize kings. It's explicitly stated. These 2 horns are on the ram at the same time, This means that King 3 and King 4 could be co-ruling at the same time.
Speculation but I believe this 4th king will be a Persian claimant to the Shia Mahdi, what they call the 12th Imam. If the Shia unify behind this claimant (not the Egyptian American guy who has claimed to be the Mahdi on Youtube mind you, that guy's beliefs would be considered heretical in Islam, his following is small, and I'm surprised he hasn't had a fatwa issued against him yet and been killed off), the Sunni world would be enraged. Turkey was once part of what was considered Ancient Greece, tons of Ancient Greek Ruins, perhaps you've heard of Ephesus, Pergamos, etc.
It is Turkey that ends the Islamic Republic of Iran as we know it according to scripture.

Who doesn’t love treasures? Many of us spend a lot of time pursuing them on earth. Many others hope for treasures to fall in their lap. Many have at times obsessed, at least, with treasure that can be found on earth by our own efforts or from the misfortune of others. There is no doubt of us finding we live in a material world, but that we consider treasures are the type that is referred to in Matthew 6:20 as treasures that ‘moths or rust may destroy,’ and at the risk of going out on a limb here, that verse was meant to just provide examples of such material earthly treasures. Things like fire, water and wind are other examples that can destroy earthly treasures.

For those who have no faith in God, and who have no faith through Jesus, the earthly treasures are the only things they know and pursue, not appreciating that whatever is found on earth is subject to earth’s evils, not to mention they aren’t theirs forever. We are made aware of these people all the time. They’re the ones who invariably and unwittingly, perhaps, destroy some of the very things that God has created for us. They are of little faith, if not without faith entirely.

The faith referred to here is faith in God and facilitated by Jesus. What is faith? Hebrews 11:1 says it is the assurance of things hoped for, and the conviction of things not seen. In essence, faith amounts to things that cannot be physically touched. On earth the assurance of things hoped for cannot be physically touched. That’s like someone telling you you can win millions if you play the lottery; until that happens, all you have is the person’s word which cannot be touched with your hands. Also on earth, the conviction alone of things not seen cannot be physically touched. We may hold, for instance, that something like Mt. Rushmore exists. We may be told by someone who hasn’t actually seen Mt. Rushmore or touched any part of that mountain, but may have seen it in a photo, that it exists. We may be told that the current President is looking to have his face added to those on that mountain. In that scenario, one’s faith goes awry. The only assurance we have there is that there is no certainty in any faith that is based on what the earth may provide.

Faith in God is based on an absolute assurance that God exists, and we are convinced of His Existence even though we the living have never seen him, let alone touched him. When Jesus says to Thomas in John 20:29 “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed,” after he held up his hand for Thomas to see the nail marks and having Thomas touch his side, he is inferring that one’s faith alone of God’s existence matters more that whatever one may see or not see.

And as Jesus imparted on anyone who listened to him, it is what you do with that faith that matters. As he said in Matthew 7:21, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” The will of the father includes giving to the poor and needy. This is implied in Proverbs 19:17 which says “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.” Which brings us to the idea of treasures in Heaven.

What treasures can be found in Heaven? They don’t involve material things. Jesus says in Matthew 6:20 to lay up for yourself treasures in Heaven which cannot be destroyed. Such treasures include the Grace He conveys on you and things like justifying and glorifying you in return for things He would expect you to do in your faith in him. To love God is to include having faith in Him enough to know what He expects from you and to carry through. As alluded to in Romans 8:28-30, with a nod to Psalms 139:14, God has called on each of us in accordance with abilities He has given us.

Those who make it to Heaven have been justified and glorified by Him. The treasures that are in Heaven are what Heaven has to offer upon God’s Grace in answering His Calling to do what He expects from us.

The context here, as best as I understand it, beginning with chapter 10, is that rulers of the people were enacting evil statutes and they were making unjust decisions so as to deprive the needy of justice and to rob the poor of God’s people of their rights. And so God used another nation as the rod of his anger against a godless nation who did these evil things. But as a result of the judgment of God, a remnant of the people of God, who were giving loyalty and devotion to the crooked rulers, stopped relying on these other humans and they now relied fully on the Lord, “the Holy One of Israel.”

And what this reminds me of is where we are today in the world, and in many nations in the world, and their people who profess faith in Jesus Christ but who are putting their faith and trust in human flesh, in the rulers of the people, rather than putting their faith and trust in God, and in God alone. And some of these rulers are like the ones of Isaiah’s day who are enacting evil statutes and who are making unjust decisions so as to deprive the needy of justice, and to rob the poor, and who plunder the widows and orphans. And many Christians are giving them their undivided loyalties and devotion.

And I believe God will come in judgment on any people who claim him as their only God but who give their worship to evil kings and rulers who are deliberately doing evil against their own people. And he will judge the evil rulers, too. But from this time of judgment a remnant of those claiming God as their only God, and/or Jesus Christ as their Lord, will reject the loyalties and devotion they gave to these who enact evil statutes and who make unjust decisions that will harm their people, and they will truly worship God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – as their only Lord.

And I believe this parallels over to the teachings in the book of Revelation regarding these last days before the return of Christ, when God will judge the people of the earth, including those who claim him as Lord but who are not living for the Lord. But these judgments will certainly impact all people who live on the earth who live in these nations. And the book of Revelation indicates that some people will come to faith in Jesus Christ during the tribulation, and that some will make their hearts right with God during that time, but they will be a remnant, in the minority, not the majority.

And all those who will come under the judgment of God, but who repent of their sins, and who now obey God with their lives, will have salvation from sin and the hope of eternal life with God. But all who remain stubbornly in their sins, who do not repent, and who do not obey God, will not have salvation from sin nor eternal life with God, even if they give lip service to the Lord Jesus and they say that they believe in him. For to believe in Jesus is to die with him to sin and to obey his commandments, in practice.

And among all who believe in Jesus Christ, in truth and in righteousness, should be those who will make known the deeds of God among the peoples. And this can be done in songs, in poetry, in writing devotionals, in video talks, in public speaking, or in sharing the gospel with people face to face, depending upon our circumstances and the availability we have to the people to get the message of the gospel of our salvation out to as many as possible.

Should I Not Preach Jesus

Woe to me should I not preach Jesus.
I’m compelled to preach the full gospel.
I make myself a slave to ev’ryone
To win their hearts to Christ.
All this I do for my Lord Jesus,
And for the sake of His Name;
Do it for the sake of His gospel,
So that I, its blessings gain.

Scripture notates the sins of others;
Written down for us as examples
To keep us from setting our hearts
On evil as did those of old.
Do not worship other gods of man;
Do not give your hearts to them;
Not partake in immorality.
Do not test your Lord and King.

So, be careful if you think you are
Standing firm in your faith in Jesus.
God has given his word to warn us,
So through faith we will not fall.
No temptation has o’ertaken you
Except what is commonplace.
God is faithful to not let you be
Tempted past what you can bear.
He gives the way of escape.

Peace in Christ.

Beware of the MANY false prophets who are in the world today.

MANY Christians have gone down the broad way that leads to destruction….the destruction of their mortal bodies. “MANY go in thereat.”

This is what we have witnessed so far.

MANY Christians who believe in Christ but listen to false prophets (who came to them in “sheep’s clothing”) are being led astray from the narrow way that leads to life….an age-lasting life in this mortal body now in this earth. The end of their things is death…our mortal death.

Mat 7:
(13) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
(14) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
(15) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

You shall know them by their fruits. Do they gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

(16) Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
(17) Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

What is Jesus saying here?

We need to go back to Genesis.

Cursed is the “ground”…the “Adamah”…for your sake.

The “Adamah” is the people of the outside world. We …believers in Christ…are all taken from the “Adamah” and receive His Spirit. They... "Adamah"... have not received His Spirit.

“Thorns and thistles” do they (the “Adamah”) bring forth to us when we listen to the “voice of our wife”…our man-based church that we are attending…that we are “married” to and are “one body and one flesh” with.

That “voice” is that of the false prophets (the “strange woman”) that lead the man-based churches and are leading many astray from the narrow way that leads to life.

We eat from the “tree”…the church handwriting of ordinances that we are using to judge others with supposedly in the name/authority of God. We keep the external church handwritings rather than keep and serve His commandments that are written upon our hearts and minds. We think that we are doing these things in His name...doing these "wonderful works"....judging other as "devils" (casting out devils).

Gen 3:17-19 KJV
(17) And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground (ADAMAH) for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

The people of the outside world (the “Adamah”) do not bring forth good things to us as a result. They bring forth evil things towards us: thorn and thistles. The earth does not bring forth “milk and honey” for us when we attend the man-based churches who are serving the sin: judging others via their church handwritings of ordianances/dogmas.

“Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”

We can see this today. The people of the outside world are not flocking to us with good things. Instead, they mock and deride us. They produce “thorns and thistles” toward us.

(18) Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

The people of the outside world (the “Adamah” that we are taken from) rule over us as we return to the “dust” in their eyes. We are not their rulers (the head) but are now below them (the “tail”)…in the “dust” compared to them. The outside world is a hard place for us when we do not listen to Him and keep His commandments.

(19) In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

We become the “tail” instead of the head as they are above us “very high” and we are brought down very low…until we are destroyed.

Deu 28:43-45 KJV
(43) The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
(44) He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.

Let us not listen to the "voice of our wife"...our man-based church that teaches strange things for us to keep and serve.

Rather, we are to "HEAR" the voice of the LORD our God and keep His commandments and His statutes.

(45) Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire…destroyed. Let us not follow after them in their destruction. The outside world only produces "thorns and thistles" towards them....and that is a telling sign that they are the wrong church to go to...one that is being led astray by false prophets.

Mat 7:19-20 KJV
(19) Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
(20) Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Let us not listen to the voice of our “wife”….the false prophets of the man-based churches whose speak “good words and fair speeches” to those who are simple of heart…easily led astray. Let us not go into “her”…the harlot church…where we are led down the path to our mortal death. “Her feet go down to death, her steps take hold on the grave.” The man-based churches are the spacious way leading down to death as MANY are going to them and are being mortally destroyed.

Pro 5:
(3) For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
(4) But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
(5) Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

Her way is not the “path of life.” We shall not know that way if we are going to a man-based church.

(6) Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
(7) Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

We are to HEAR NOW and REMOVE our way from “her” and come not near the door of her house…the mouth of the false prophet that leads many astray.

(8) Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
(9) Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
(10) Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

We will mourn “at the last” when our flesh and our bodies are consumed: “how I hated instruction and my heart despised reproof.”

(11) And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
(12) And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

Let us no longer be the servants of THE (definite article) sin in the man-based churches. We must come out from among them and be separate and no longer be attached to the unclean body. The end of their things is death. What fruit do you have in them? The outside world only produces “thorns and thistles” toward us when we go to them…and not “grapes” or “figs.”

Rom 6:20-23
(20) For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
(21) What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
(22) But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
(23) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I’ve been trying to grow in consistency with prayer and Bible time, but my phone notifications and random scrolling often derail me. I wanted to share something that’s been helping me in case it helps someone else too.

It’s an app called Holy Focus. It blocks distractions while showing a Bible verse or short prayer on your screen. It’s helped me stay off social media in the mornings and actually spend time with God before the chaos of the day.

I’m curious if anyone else here uses apps or tech tools for spiritual discipline. What’s helped you stay consistent with prayer and Scripture without getting pulled into the noise?
