Most everyone that I know has been in fervent prayer fo former president Donald J Trump to win the 2024 Presidential race. The AP called the race for Trump a little over an hour ago. The Lord is showing the United States the mercy it doesn't really deserve. But He has heard our prayers and will help us to move back towards some common sense positions. Thanks be to God.

The current economy is on shaky grounds. It doesn’t matter who wins in November, 🇺🇸 to lead this country. Many church leaders are talking about political positions, and who can do better. Very few leaders talk about Christians and how they should manage their finances, in troubled times. Try stop talking on giving classes of tithing only and give classes or a Bible study on how to manage their finances, in troubled times. This will help Christians and the churches that they support.

It’s that time of the year again early voting by mail and I got mine and I’m getting ready to fill it out. Christian should pick the right person, not the one that is less evil. I believe that those that still support Christian views is very important. At this time, I believe the Republicans still dominate in this area and most likely I’ll be swinging this way. Is it a very healthy strong party? No, it is not. but I’d rather have four years of Trump, then eight years of Pamela Harris. Do your Duty 🇺🇸 may God bless America.

Pastor Greg Locke and the Global Vision Bible Church's purchase of a church campus in Lebanon, Tennessee has fallen through. The church apparently was not able to raise the capital to secure the purchase of the property. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/wilson/2024/10/31/global-vision-greg-locke-new-tennessee-church-purchase-falls-through/75949308007/

Andy Stanley, son of the late Pastor and former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, Charles Stanley, and the pastor of an SBC affiliated church in Atlanta, has once again found himself in a controversy over the miracles in the Bible, claiming that Christians only need to believe in two of them as factual. To be honest, I don't know how Christians can continue to follow pastors that try try their best to destroy faith in God's Word. https://www.christianpost.com/news/andy-stanley-christians-only-have-to-believe-in-two-miracles.html

As far as I remember, if a divorced man was a Christian, before coming to Christ or after, could not be a deacon, teacher, or preacher. Has this changed? and is it OK for divorce Preachers give marriage counseling classes to a family in need, of counseling.

Looks like climate change is striking again here in West and Central Florida. Are you prepared? As a Christian, how do you look at hurricanes? Do you prepare or do you say, the Lord in control. I don’t have to do anything. Do you watch the news and hope for the best. The Pastor said, do not pray that the hurricane goes up to the north or to the south, we pray that it weakens, I agree. Be Safe

Robert Morris, disgraced former pastor of the Gateway Church in Texas, and Gateway Church are facing lawsuits alleging misappropriation of funds to meet needs other than what they were designated for. This, to me, is just showing how many churches that cover sin start to crumble like a house of cards. The article below was found in my inbox this morning. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/gateway-church-pledges-to-join-ecfa-conduct-forensic-audit-after-lawsuit-alleges-financial-fraud/ar-AA1rVdFP?ocid=chromentpnews&pc=U526&cvid=8e0a6e3f99f24d7fb456175fceb9affd&ei=20

"Scientists" have once again started an assault against the Christian faith, all the while stating that it's not an attack on any religion. We all know that any time "Scientists" say that there isn't an assault on anything they're lying. So, take a few minutes and go through these alleged "inaccuracies" or flat-out lies according to the "Scientists." Remember, we're supposed to "Trust the science." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/14-religious-myths-debunked-by-archaeological-evidence/ss-AA1qUlsX?ocid=windirect&cvid=b56193400f7142d389d68770a884e5dc&ei=11#image=1

While reading through several of the online newsfeeds I get every day, I was sent this article. It states that there are several reasons why Christians are nowadays questioning their faith in the Bible, God, and religion and are leaving the faith. I find it strange that the MSM is trying so hard to help Christians leave Christianity by undermining people's faith. But, this is the spirit of the antichrist. Do we have any of these situations in our lives causing us to question our faith? Why? https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/relationships/why-people-are-questioning-their-christian-beliefs/ss-AA1o3aVg?ocid=chromentpnews&pc=U526&cvid=4ab91a5f70df436d89d1ea1d8…

We just had our second threat towards our county school district. This is a very small county population wise too. What you would consider a "country school". The first was towards the middle school and yesterday towards the high school. Both threats came from neighboring school and one from another state and none would probably have happened without social media and parents just letting their kids do whatever they want on their phones/computers. The school poobahs allowed phones in the school with unrestricted usage until the governor put his foot down and boy did a lot of the moms complain about that on the school FB page. They are still allowed on the buses though. Non…

Who Are They Serving … 👼 👺 Christians can have different perspectives on artificial intelligence (AI) and how it relates to their faith. Some say that Christians should care about the future of AI and use it to align with their faith-based values, while others say that AI and the church should not intersect.

We have a poster here who is constantly posting inaccurate, FALSE, and defamatory posts all the while using . I don't know if they feel that this is going to get people to not stand against dishonest posts, stir-the-pot rhetoric, or often unintelligible posts. We know this poster can do better because they have improved before. I often reflect back to the days of other posters who did these same things. We've had over a year of this, ever since they came back. Like King David, I am tempted to say "Lord, how long? " This is mostly posted in jest, but a thread of truth goes through it. I will only end my post with this..... LOL 😂 🤣😂🤣

There are so many inspiring figures in the Bible, from Moses to Esther to Paul. Other than Jesus, who do you find most inspiring, and how do their stories influence your walk with Christ? Mine is Moses: Moses inspires me because, despite his humble beginnings and initial reluctance, he became a powerful leader who faithfully followed God's call and maintained a deep, personal relationship with Him.

Repulican post found on the internet Why we need immigration. Immigration fuels the economy. When immigrants enter the labor force, they increase the productive capacity of the economy and raise GDP. Their incomes rise, but so do those of natives.🇺🇸 What is the truth behind all this? $ The love of money 💰

Friday night at the county fair I saw a booth for a new Baptist Church that started up and is, surprisedly, meeting at the high school. It's IFB and KJV to boot. I told him I was surprise they were letting him hold services there and he agreed. I guess nobody has pulled out the "separation of church and state' card on him yet. The first time he preaches hard against certain sins most likely someone will complain. I know in the past they had a non-denominational church meet at the middle school until the church got their own building. One of the custodians told me they also had a prayer group and Bible study in the mornings at the middle school to before the work day start…

I know we have brought up voting subjects here before on this form. I just wanna make it clear, when it comes to voting, voting for a political leader in the Bible or voting for one of the two less evil in the Bible, and should Christians vote at all for government leaders in the Bible. The Bible does mention that Satan is controlling the world right now, his kingdom. That prophecy is going to be fulfilled, it doesn’t matter who we vote for. we cannot slow down or change prophecy. what’s your view on this subject?

Due to very poor handling of our forests, the western states face severe fires every summer. We are in that season now. One of our members went to the fire on the Oregon line to help fight it...will be gone for quite a while. They are hoping they can stop it from jumping the line and joining another fire in WA that is close. Sixty miles away from us, a fire is burning. 100 acres were destroyed this morning and now it is up to 350. People on the west side of Seattle (2 hours away) can see the flames from this fire. We cannot yet, but we are surrounded by trees. It is dry, which adds to the power the fire has. I would most certainly appreciate prayer for these f…

Recently I started hearing a phrase that I hadn't heard in a while. A young man was coming out of a store into the heat that is common here in Tennessee. It was 94 degrees with a feel like temperature of 106. That phrase came out of his mouth as he stood there smoking a cigarette. I was right there at the door and replied with *Yes, it IS hot. But, young man, why would you think that it's hotter than hell?* He looked stunned and sort of dismayed that I would ask such a question. I then asked him if he believed in hell, and if he did, how hot did he believe it was. He stated that he really didn't know how hot hell was and it really probably wasn't as as hot as he thought i…

Many years ago, I would remember visiting churches that will preach on credit cards, saying that it was of the devil. Today everything has changed, churches love credit cards now, and even put them up on the screen so you can scan your card or phone with their I.D. scanned. The Love of Money. 💰
