We live an era currently where spirituality is en vogue. Christ following is not.

Some, even claim to love Jesus while simultaneously rebelling against His word and encouraging others to rebel similarly.

But, Jesus said it himself: “if you love me you will obey me. Whoever does not love me does not obey my words.”

Make no mistake about it, to love Jesus is to obey Him. You cannot love Jesus and disobey Him.

If you are living in rebellion against Jesus’ word, you are not following Jesus as He’s revealed Himself in scripture. You’re following a god you’ve created.

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.” Psalm 139:13 (ESV).

According to the CDC and the Guttmacher Institute the number one reason women choose abortion is they’re 1) “not ready for a child.”

2) “Can’t afford a baby.”

3) “Don’t want any more children.”

4) “Don’t want to be a single mother.”

5) “Not mature enough to raise a child

6) “Would interfere with education or career.”

Those reasons represent 95% of all abortions.

Risks to the mother’s physical health represent less than 4% of all abortions and conception resulting from “rape and incest” represent 1% of all abortions.

The reality? Abortion is used as birth control.

Merriam Webster’s dictionary defines socialism as an economic system in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state. The distribution of goods are controlled by the state. It is a system where there is no private property. A stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism.

American socialist put the descriptor “democratic” in front of socialism because they hope to persuade you to vote for… the elimination of private property.

Make no mistake, socialism is socialism. There is no kinder, gentler form of it.

When the the Spirit of God penned those words through Apostle Peter he meant every bit of them. Christ-following is distinct from the world. Christ-followers must look different from the world.

We shouldn’t be surprised then, when the world does not understand us and demonizes our faith. Jesus said, the student is not above the teacher. The world hated Jesus. We mustn’t be surprised when the world hates us.

We are called to be peculiar. Understand it. Embrace it. Get comfortable with it. Get used to it.

We are in the world, but not of the world.

Stay peculiar my friends.

Only two SCOTUS justices believe that only a woman can be a woman.

In 2016, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals forced the Gloucester County School Board to comply with former President Obama’s transgender bathroom mandate allowing a girl to use the boys restroom and locker room facilities in the Grimm v. Gloucester County School Board case.

The school board appealed to SCOTUS, yet SCOTUS announced their refusal to hear the case thus leaving the 4th Circuit opinion in place.

Only Justices Thomas and Alito believed the Supreme Court should hear the appeal.

Only two.

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona was pressed by Congresswoman Mary Miller to explain exactly how many sexes there are during a House Education and Labor Committee hearing on the priorities of the Department of Education.

The questioning followed a newly released policy where teachers could be disciplined for stating that there are only two sexes.

After being pressed on the question three times, Secretary Cardona frustratedly said “I won’t be answering your question.”

He won’t say how many sexes there are, yet he proposes to discipline teachers who teach the biological fact that there are only two!

In a departure from basic biology and accurate identification, the U.S. State Department is “promoting the freedom, dignity, and equality of all people” by allowing passport applicants to choose the sex that suits them.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the Department is updating its procedures for issuing passports and “Consular Reports of Birth Abroad” (CRBA) to ensure the fair treatment of LGBTQI+ U.S. citizens regardless of their gender or sex.”

No matter how popular a lie becomes it’s still a lie. Truth is not subject to popular vote.

Robbers held up a television crew at gunpoint during a live interview with, Guillermo Cespedes, the director of violence prevention in Oakland.

This attempted armed robbery, in broad daylight, typifies the current crime surge in Oakland including a 70% spike in shootings and an 88% spike in car-jackings.

Amidst this crime surge, the Oakland City Council has voted to reduce the police department’s budget by $18.5 million. Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong says the the most vulnerable communities will bear the brunt of the cuts’ impact.

A popular effort in social revisionism is happening where “racism,” which is better described in Biblical terms as skin-color-based partiality, is a crime of which only people with lighter skin color can be guilty.

Let’s be clear, factions, divisions, and dissensions, including those based on skin color, are the fruit of the sinful flesh.

The root cause of partiality is sin.

Every person, regardless of the quantity of melanin in their skin, is capable of partiality.

The only remedy for sin is the blood of Jesus Christ.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said “an economic system that allows billionaires to exist is immoral.”

Someone may want to let the former bartender turned Congresswoman know that the top 1% of wage earners pay nearly 50% of all federal taxes.

The top 10% of wage earners pay nearly 70% of all federal taxes.

The top 20% of wage earners pay about 85% of all federal taxes.  That money funds things like our national welfare programs.

Don’t let them entice you to harbor disdain for the wealthy.  Socialists  bank on covetousness to gain support for their regressive policies.

According to the most recent reports provided by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), researchers looked at fertility rates for women of all age groups and ethnicities and found the nationwide rate was 16% lower than what is needed for a population to replace itself.

There has been much discussion about the demographic winter in various European countries.  Well, that demographic winter has reached the United States.

The first command God gave mankind in scripture was “be fruitful.”  But, man has the penchant to fancy his own ways over God’s.

Rejecting God’s ways always carries severe consequences.

According to the World Health Organization, abortion was the leading cause of death worldwide in 2018.  As of December 31, 2018, 41.9 million babies were murdered in the womb last year.

That is more than the 8.2 million people who died from cancer in 2018, more than the 5 million who died from smoking, and more than the 1.7 million who died from HIV/Aids in 2018 globally COMBINED!!!

Thomas Jefferson once said, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.”

According to a recent study published by the Christian Post, 76.3 percent of all abortions are obtained by "God-fearing women."

With 68.7 percent who identify themselves as Christian women, and 18 percent of all abortions obtained by self-discribed

born-again or evangelical women.

A corresponding Care Net study found that many women with unplanned pregnancies go silently from the church pew to the

abortion clinic, convinced the church would gossip rather than help.

America's greatest need is repentance.

Full weaponization of the federal government to crush a political opponent, politicians and a political party that bill themselves as pro-life while refusing to actually do what’s in their power to stop the killing of little babies, the successful and unrelenting advance of Regressivism…

All of these are signs that our national condition is not merely a natural phenomenon.  It is spiritual.

Civic engagement without spiritual engagement produces political roller coasters.  National course correction will only come by national repentance.  We must elevate Him.

When their mom passed the Landau brothers of NJ had a garage sale to clear out their mom’s house, but they decided to keep a few things including mom’s old creepy painting of a woman passed out in a chair and two men trying to revive her.

Fast forward to their estate auction and the brothers found themselves fielding bids from France and Germany for the painting.

Turns out it was a long lost Rembrandt that ultimately sold for $1.1 million.

A trained eye spots value where others don’t.

It's not by chance that Jesus refers to his Church as “The Body.”  Just as it is with our physical bodies every member has a distinct role and function to fulfill.

Unfortunately, in the era of celebrity Christianity we’ve reduced the concept of ministry solely to what occurs in what is often little more than Sunday productions and performances.

The key to thriving in God’s Kingdom is understanding that every member in The Body of Christ is vital called to ministry.

They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us on the road, while He opened to us the Scriptures?"

These words were shared between Cleopas and his companion on the seven 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 has to fulfill. The mathematical probability of such a feat occurring is astoundingly absurd.  Yet that absurdity is satisfied in Jesus the Messiah.

Come let us adore Him.

After initially filing a court document in the Hunter v. U.S. Department of Education case promising to “vigorously” defend religious freedom for more than 20 Christian Colleges and Universities, the very next day the Biden Department of Justice amended the filing to downplay its willingness to fight for these schools’ first amendment freedoms.

After being pressured by advocates for the LGBTQIA+ socio-political agenda, the Biden administration back pedaled in just one day.

The Biden administration represents abject and overt hostility to religious freedom.

Earlier this year El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele stated unequivocally that U.S. policy incentivizes illegal immigration. That it is immoral and detrimental to the U.S., his country, and to Central and South America.

Then, just before Kamala Harris was scheduled to visit Guatemala during her first international diplomatic travel as Vice-President, Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei blasted the Biden administration policies as enablers of human trafficking and smuggling.

President Giammettei said, the message changed to “reunited families… and reunite children. The very next day the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the United States.”

Texas Christian University is changing the way it categorizes first-year students.

Kathy Cavins-Tull, Vice-Chancellor for Student affairs said its vernacular change “is a reflection of [their] university-wide commitment to inclusive excellence.”

What’’s the change? The university us dropping the term “freshmen” and will now call incoming undergraduates “first-year students.”

That’s right. Texas Christian University has bowed the knee to the sexual deviancy political agenda pressed upon modern American culture.

Parents, take note.
