Stacy Washington hosts and tackles the issues of the day

President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital came under assault, forcing the U.S. to use its veto power the stop a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding that Washington reverse course and resisting its policy shift.

 Stop me if you’ve heard this before, the America, the only nation standing with Israel before the United Nations.

While discussing President Trump’s decision to officially recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital MSNBC host Chris Matthews said Southern Christians were,

“crazy with their ideas about Israel, which is I don’t know mythical.  They don’t understand the situation over there and how tricky it is ethnically and tribally.  They don’t care, because its a religious belief.”

We’ve now learned that Bob Mueller’s Special Counsel investigatory team is full of anti-Trump zealots. 

 Not least of which is Peter Strzok.

 Mueller quietly removed Strzok from the Trump investigation after the Inspector General revealed evidence showing just how deep Strzok’s animus for the President ran.

Guest Host: Stacy Washington sits in for Abraham III on The Hamilton Corner

When you read the David vs. Goliath account in 1 Samuel 17 you’ll notice David never once acknowledges him as giant.  He only mentions him as an uncircumcised Philistine who dared to defy the LORD of hosts.

Then, when the battle raged, David doesn’t lag back and wait for Goliath to make the first move.  David charged Goliath, sling in hand, armed with full persuasion of God’s faithfulness.

These words were shared between Cleopas and his companion on the 7 mile walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus as Jesus, in resurrected form, used the Hebrew scriptures to reveal himself to them as the Messiah.

 There are at least 109 distinct Biblical prophecies the Messiah had to fulfill.

 The mathematical probability of such a feat occurring is astoundingly absurd, yet that absurdity is satisfied… in Jesus, the Messiah. 

Simeon spoke these words when he met baby Jesus. The Holy Spirit revealed that he would not die until he saw the Messiah. Immediately upon meeting Jesus in the temple, Simeon held Him and worshiped god saying, “Now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your Word, for my eyes have seen your salvation.”

A Christmas Special - The Evidence

40 days of twice daily taunting from Goliath sent Saul and the Israelite army reeling in fear.  But David’s passion for YHWH, conviction and full persuasion stirred King Saul.

 When people are on fire for God it often provokes others to glob on to that fire.

 But we must be careful to resist the well meaning overtures of the flameless by-standers.

 In the end, the attacker severely wounded himself and superficially injured 3 other people, one of whom was treated on the scene and released.

 Mainstream medial outlets fell over themselves in their attempts to describe this attacker as a “lone wolf.”

“I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”  Genesis 12:3 (ESV).

In an unprecedented move, literally, President Trump has formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

He’s also announced that the U.S. Embassy in Israel will be relocated from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind…”  Excerpted from Romans 12:2 (ESV).

The verse continues “that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

Christians don’t automatically get a new mind when we get saved.  Our old mind, however, has to be transformed.  This verse explains the only way our old minds can be transformed is by renewing it with God’s word. 

The result of mind renewal is that our discernment capacity is increased and refined.

We hold our minds up to the probing light of scripture and wherever there are any differences we submit to God’s word.  This produces new minds.
