Another Mass Shooting Leaves 9 Dead, 26 Injured in Dayton, Ohio Bar District, Birth Pains
DON’T LET PRES. TRUMP OR THE POLITICIANS FOOL YOU, THIS IS NOT A GUN PROBLEM, IT IS HEARTS WITHOUT GOD. Due to the growing level of violence in our world and the extolment of peace in Scripture, there is much debate among Christians regarding whether it is appropriate for a Christian to own weapons. However, a comprehensive look at the Bible offers insight regarding historic practices that inform this issue today. We have the example of the apostles, who owned weapons. On the night Jesus was betrayed, He asked His followers to bring swords. They had two, which Jesus claimed was enough (Luke 22:37-39). As Jesus was being arrested, Peter sliced off the ear of one of the servants of the high priest (John 18:10). Jesus healed the man instantly (Luke 22:51) and commanded Peter to put away his weapon…
Dangers of “Heated or Aggressive” Rhetoric by Political Leaders, and Academia
The knowledge that is true allows problems to be solved and avoided. If a car breaks down, mechanical knowledge is useful, otherwise, it is unnecessary. It is the same with all of life’s problems. God gives us the knowledge to help “fix” broken people, protect ourselves from the difficulties of life, and allow love to express itself in good works. In order to dial down the rhetoric, one must have a working moral thermostat. That the Democrats or Republicans do not have. What they have is venomous anger stemming from Obama and Donald Trump’s theft of their so-called inheritance. Wisdom and knowledge, both recurring themes in the Bible, are related but not synonymous. The dictionary defines wisdom as “the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting.” Knowledge, on the other hand, is “information gained through experience, reasoning, or acquaintance.”…

FBI Should List Antifa as a Terrorist Organization
Jesus said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, those evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person” (Mark 7:20–23). “Antifa Employs Violence to Coerce Americans into Silence” and So— Far It’s Working “Antifa is Arming Themselves” Certain Antifa affiliated groups listed in the articles have been arming themselves for years such as the John Brown Gun Club/Red Neck Revolt (JBGC). Although this group does not identify as an Antifa organization, they do share similar goals. For example, the majority of their members are socialist or communist. The Anarchist activist, Dave Strano, founded the John Brown Gun Club in Lawrence, Kansas in 2004. The group takes its name from a 19th-century…
Thy Kingdom Come How Else Can One Respond to This World’s Growing Sin—Sickness?
“Thy will be done” is one of the requests in the Lord’s Prayer. In part, Jesus taught His disciples to pray, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:9–10). Jesus Himself pleaded for God’s will to be done in the Garden of Gethsemane. Prior to His crucifixion, He prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will” (Matthew 26:39). Jesus was committed to seeing God’s will accomplished, and the prayer “Thy will be done” was a theme of His life. Most simply, to pray, “Thy will be done,” is to ask God to do what He desires. Of course, we’re praying to the God who said, “Let there be light,” and…
FBI: Conspiracy Theories Are Now A Domestic Terrorism Threat
“It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. Let me tell you something, friend, it is not loved and it is not friendship if we fail to declare the whole counsel of God. It is better to be hated for telling the truth than to be loved for telling a lie. It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated. It’s better to stand alone with the truth, then to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately succeed with the truth than to temporarily succeed with a lie. There is only one Gospel and Paul said, ‘If…
Antifa Wants to Destroy the United States
“What Is the Definition of Evil?” “Antifa” Essentially, Evil Is a Lack of Goodness. Moral Evil Is Not a Physical Thing; It Is a Lack or Privation of a Good Thing. as Christian Philosopher J. P. Moreland Has Noted, “Evil Is a Lack of Goodness. It Is Goodness Spoiled. You Can Have Good Without Evil, but You Cannot Have Evil Without Good.” or as Christian Apologist Greg Koukl Has Said, “Human Freedom Was Used in Such a Way as to Diminish Goodness in the World, and That Diminution, That Lack of Goodness, That Is What We Call Evil.” Antifa Wants to Destroy the United States Antifa militants march with counterprotesters against an alt-right rally on Aug. 5, 2018, in downtown Berkeley, California. AMY OSBORNE/AFP/GETTY IMAGESPresident Trump says Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization. Is he right? An Antifa terrorist threw…
American Justice: A 79-Year-Old Woman Was Just Sentenced To Jail For Feeding Stray Cats
Habakkuk 1:2–4, “How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, ‘Violence!’ but you do not save? Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds. Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.” In order for any society to function smoothly, the vast majority of the people need to behave at least somewhat rationally. Of course, there are always going to be exceptions, and we understand that, but most of us operate under the assumption that most of the people that we are going to encounter in our daily lives are not going to act like nutjobs. Unfortunately, that may not be a…
FLORIDA HEALTH OFFICIALS: FIRST “BRAIN SWELLING” VIRAL DEATH FROM MOSQUITO BITE REPORTED
Deuteronomy 32:24 Pestilence is a deadly disaster, usually a disease, that affects an entire community. Pestilence is contagious, virulent, and devastating. For example, the Black Plague in Europe that killed over thirty percent of the population during the late Middle Ages was a pestilence. In the Bible, pestilence is usually a sign of God’s judgment on a nation or people group (Deuteronomy 32:24; 1 Chronicles 21:12; Ezekiel 7:14–15). The God who protects and blesses is also the God who sends disaster and pestilence when it accomplishes His righteous purposes on earth (Isaiah 45:7; Ezekiel 5:16–17; Amos 4:10). Pestilence is promised as part of God’s final judgment on the world in Revelation 18:8. The first death from a mosquito-borne virus has occurred in Florida. Health officials say that the viral infection causes brain swelling and was reported in Orange County. The EEE virus (Eastern equine encephalitis)…
A Large Solar Storm Will Hit Earth on July 31 or August 1
Revelation 19:11–13 In the 1950s the world feared it was on the edge of a nuclear apocalypse. Near the turn of the century, there was worldwide speculation about Y2K and the possible end of the civilized world as a result. More recently, a pop culture stir arose over the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012. At present, there is discussion in Christian circles over the appearance of blood moons, supposedly also a sign of catastrophic events. How, then, should a Christian respond to doomsday predictions and related news events? From a Christian perspective, our first reaction should be to take a deep breath and relax. At some point in time, this world is going to end (2 Peter 3:10). Christ will return (Revelation 19:11–13) at the time He is prepared for (1 Corinthians 15:51–52). And yet, every single person on earth is…
