    If you’re a Christian and you support the modern geopolitical state of Israel, you deny that Christ is the Messiah. It's that simple.

    Amen. We sure do need to discern between "Israel after the flesh" and the "Israel of God". But I think one would have to be hard-hearted and unmerciful to be against them returning to the land of Israel after the horrors of the holocaust. The Lord is the one who raises and lowers kings and...

    Everything that has been foreseen and foretold in scripture is not a "promise" for good as such. But God is watching over His word to perform it, whether for good or evil. The "gathering" that has been prophesied has been and continues to be fulfilled any time a Jewish person receives and is...

    There is a way that seemeth so right to man......it seems right to the natural mind of natural man. We need the mind of Christ, and as believers we know there is only one solution for the ills and evils of this world brother. And that is what the church should be occupied with. If we can help...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    The spirit of the world has infected and infiltrated the church. Can hardly tell the difference between the world and the church these days, and that's why. I guess that started way back, as Paul said wolves would come in not sparing the flock after he departed, except that some of us have...

    Did you understand and agree with the rest of that post? In the time of Jezebel, Ezekiel was exhorting and rebuking the Israelites because they were "halting between two opinions"...ie, they were trying to serve God and Baal at the same time. Our trust and reliance is not to be in things of...

    Amen. Another spirit has been taking over....the people are infected with it. Spirit of stupor and drunkenness, for one thing.

    1996 seems like yesterday....how fast our lives fly by. My youngest child was only three and I was, well, a lot younger than I am now, lol. Oh my, that video is a reminder that people had more sense in those days.

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    This was within the church, the body of Christ. We are not to confuse/conflate the church with government. The church is of God's spirit, government is of the world and its spirit. Now the bible says we may "use" the things of this world as practically necessary, but we are not to be...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Having compassion and mercy to feed the hungry glorifies God...it's a fruit of the Spirit. Our motive and goal is not to make the world a better place.....that is building with the wood, hay and stubble of this world, temporal things. Our goal is to glorify God and save souls for eternity...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Bless you brother. It's so good to be aware of and acknowledge our weakness before the Lord, because it's in our weakness, His strength is made perfect. If we think we are just jim-dandy fine on our own, we may not be. This is why the apostle wrote "take heed who thinks he stands lest he...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    It sure does look like there is a pattern and potential there, and amen, we'll see how it pans out. Ultimately it was the people who encouraged Hitler and gave him his power. Old saying, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." People of this generation have forgotten that...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Brother in times like these we sure do need to comfort ourselves in the Word. It has always been an evil wicked world since the beginning, though waxing worse near the end, like weeds growing up to fruition....transgression coming to the full as it says in Daniel.....in order to expose itself...

    Hope you're right brother. Guard your heart. Blessings.

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Well I guess based on the information you have, it's good for America on that level for the moment, but would it be good for America if your allies to the north are pushed into the arms of the EU? See, I think there is more at stake here. But that is just a "political" opinion for what it's...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    I don't know brother. I'm not accusing you. The bible says no man who is a soldier gets caught up with the civil affairs of the country he's been deployed to (this world) if we want to please our Commanding Officer. We shouldn't be too caught up and enmeshed with these earthly concerns but...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    I see no problem with voting ordinarily, and be responsible with regard to civic duties, if there are no reasons of conscience in the way. I plan to vote Conservative in our next election because I know of nothing against the party or its leader. If it came to my awareness that they were...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Daniel and Joseph saw themselves and felt like strangers in a strange land. Not belonging to it. The did their jobs to the best of their ability, but their HEARTS were attached and invested in their true home.

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Being in the world but not of it, is another way of saying it, I think brother. That doesn't mean to go and be a hermit on a mountaintop, of course we have to interact with this world, while not being unequally yoked with it. Which to me means not being joined/united spiritually with it, at...

    If you want or need to renegotiate trade deals you have every right to do that I"m sure....but there is no need to be belligerent about it. Doesn't seem wise to make enemies out of your own allies, especially in times like these. I don't understand all the ins and outs of the tariffs, but I...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Forgot to mention......Christians in secular jobs (which includes politics) can take Daniel in Babylon and Joseph in Egypt as examples of Godliness in those worldly spheres. And whatsoever you do, do it as unto the Lord.
