Local government and law enforcement are refusing to protect. So it's time to bring in the national guard to do the job. That's not going to infringe upon local authorities exercising their right to do nothing.Newsflash: the president has no authority when it comes to local law enforcement. States' Rights!
Local law enforcement exercising its discretion in who to pursue does not constitute an emergency.
Thank you <3 according to every attorney I've talked to, it's not worth perusing because of the backlash we would get. So, we're going to just have to pay it unfortunately but we aren't going to renew next year. We've been wanting to get out of florida for a while, so were going to save to move once our lease is up next year. Hopefully, no other financial debates come up between now and then....Gracious Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus,
I pray for wisdom for Delvianna and her family as they fight this unjust landlord. I pray for good legal counsel to help them with this situation, and, if needed, Your financial provision to pay for this unjust bill.
In Christ's Name,
Amen
(maybe try Christian Legal Aid too, if there is an active group in your area. They are at least helpful.)
But one doesn't have to be a British Israelist to believe, or at least want to believe, that the Countenance Divine really did shine forth upon your clouded hills. I know, there's no compelling reason to believe that our Lord did visit England, but neither is there any reason to declare as fact that He did not.Nothing about making a journey to Britain.
beautiful prayer. Thank you so muchGracious Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus,
Indeed, I pray for relief for Carmen's intrusive thoughts and anxiety. Please guard her with Your peace, and help her to put the extra mental energy that you have given her into something spiritually constructive each day, rather than it being bogged down in a cycle of negative thoughts and fear.
In Christ's Name,
Amen
This (amillenniumism) was known to be false in the first century, and ever since then,AMillenniumism, - we are in the Millennium now:
This idea, is patently wrong as Jesus is not now ruling the world. Matthew 4:8-9
If you're saying Jesus taught two ways to enter heaven, then you're speaking of two gospels. There's only one way and Jesus didn't come to confuse us-or the rich young man- about that fact.
"If you wish to enter life, keep the commandments" is totally consistent with the new covenant, with being under grace as a result of entering God's fold.
“I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people." Jer 31:33
This is why Jesus can say in Matt 5 that He didn't come to abolish the law. The old covenant was made obsolete by a new and better covenant, because the new could actually accomplish in us what the old could not. Moses spoke the truth: we must obey God’s will. Jesus gives us the authentic means to fulfill it.
I commend Trump on the peace deal but let's hope that this isn't just used by Hamas as a chance to regroup and attack again. Hamas has broken these deals before and I don't trust them anymore than Putin.Israel’s war in Gaza moved one step nearer to resolution on Wednesday, when Hamas and Israel both agreed to “the first phase” of President Donald Trump’s peace plan. “This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line,” Trump wrote Wednesday afternoon on Truth Social. “This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America.”
The agreement covers “all terms and mechanisms for implementing the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which will lead to stopping the war, releasing Israeli detainees and Palestinian prisoners, and allowing aid to enter,” said Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari.
While public pronouncements are light on details, Israeli officials expect the simultaneous release of all the living hostages within 72 hours, likely on Monday. The clock starts, and the ceasefire officially begins when the deal is ratified by the Israeli government.
Israel also insists on Hamas returning the bodies of all deceased hostages, although Hamas claims that will take longer to achieve, as some of the bodies are buried under rubble or lie behind the Israeli lines.

The videos show the illegal drugs on those boats. But, I bet if Obama or Biden had ordered those drug traffickering boats to be destroyed, that liberals would not be so skeptical.....so you say, but have yet to backup.
FYI, the Doctrines of Grace are what you call Calvinism. TULIP = the Doctrines of Grace. All TULIP does is acknowledge and elucidate how God uses grace for salvation.No, I said that I or anyone can abide by the doctrines of grace. You just have to know your doctrines. And I can help you there, pointing to the ancient sources, largely influenced by Augustine's arguments against Pelagianism.
Tell it to Paul in 2 Co 5:1-8.The "spirit" that returns to God at death is the breath of life, not a conscious entity with independent existence.
