 Following the public revelation of her serial adulterous affairs, including the publication of photographic evidence documenting the affairs, Representative Katie Hill has announced her resignation from Congress.

 Once a rising star in the Democrat Party, Hill has now flamed out.

 In her House floor speech announcing her resignation, Hill blamed her ouster on everything and everyone but her self.

 No one told her to violate her marital covenant with several Congressional staffers.  No one told her to take pictures of it either.

 The person Hill should blame is the one staring back at her in the mirror.

 November is National Caregiver Awareness Month.  There are more the 65 million people in America who dedicate themselves full-time to care for elderly parents, special needs children, loved ones suffering from mental illness or chronic pain or illness.

 In the process, many caregivers lose their sense of identity, independence, and feel isolated.

 Let’s make sure we are caring for those who give care full-time.

 Small expressions of love and concern go a long way.  The ones who always help others often need help themselves.

Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus.

In an interview with Newsweek, Michael Gordon, a former Clinton administration staffer, said Pete Buttigieg stands out in the Democratic Presidential Primary.

He specifically noted that Buttigieg, “has a real moral authority.”

We have gotten to the place in America where a would-be political pundit is comfortable saying publicly that a man who lives unashamedly in open sexual rebellion against the holiness of God and His word is somehow an authority on morality.

Though we do not deserve it, may God have mercy on our nation.  Righteousness exalts a nation.  Sin is a reproach to any people.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” Romans 1:16 (NASB).

Ron Reagan, the son of President Reagan, aired an ad to drum up support for his atheist organization.  In it, he mocked the eternal damnation that awaits all who reject Jesus Christ.

In response, a friend of mine and fellow church member suggested that we pray that God would open Ron Reagan’s eyes and save his soul.

It’s good time for all of us to pray for the salvation of unsaved loved ones, friends, atheists, and agnostics all over the world. Because heaven is real and hell is real too.

The Justice Department has shifted its review of the Russia probe from an administrative probe to a criminal investigation.

The criminal query is examining what led the U.S. to open a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign and the roles that various countries played in the U.S. probe. It is also investigating whether the surveillance methods and intelligence gathering methods used against the president were legal and appropriate.

The criminal designation gives prosecutors subpoena power, power to impanel a grand jury, compel witness testimony, and bring federal criminal charges.

According to a recent poll by the Campaign for Free Speech, 51% of respondents want to see the First Amendment rewritten to “reflect the cultural norms of today.”

Nearly 60% go Millennials—respondents between 21 and 38 years old—agreed that the Constitution “goes too far in allowing hate speech in modern America” and should be rewritten.

This is the product of regressive domination in American education.  They’ve seized the levers of power and created a populace ignorant of the intrinsic necessity of free speech to a free people.

As A.G. Barr said, this isn’t societal decay.  It is organized destruction.

Senator Josh Hawley has filed the HIRE Act), which would move 90 percent of the federal bureaucracy away from D.C.

It would move the Department of Agriculture to Missouri, the Department of Education to Tennessee, the Commerce to Pennsylvania, the Department of Energy to Kentucky, HHS to Indiana, HUD to Ohio, the Department of the Interior to New Mexico, Labor to West Virginia, Department of Transportation to Michigan, and the VA to South Carolina.

The Agriculture Department move alone would save taxpayers $300 million over fifteen years due to lower real estate prices, lower cost of living, and increased employee retention.

Genesis 3 records for us the cataclysmic rebellion against God in the Garden of Eden. The entire episode, Eve’s entertainment of the sensual lies of the talking snake, the deceptive twisting of God’s word, all of it transpired with Adam standing right there.

Adam was the one to whom God entrusted his word to originally, Adam was the one God charged with cultivating and protecting the garden and his wife.

Yet he stood there silent.

Men, let us not repeat Adam’s sin of present absence.

Stand on God’s word and defend your gardens!

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.

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.

 In celebration of “National Coming Out Day,” the Van Buren Middle School in Kettering, OH, invited an actor to an all-school assembly to “relate his experience “believing he was “gay” back in 6th grade.  And now he encourages students to embrace their own homosexual feelings.

 He did this to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.  To add insult to injury, the students’ parents had no advance notice this assemble would occur.

 Efforts to indoctrinate our children aren’t limited to California.

 This is psychological molestation!

 We must protect our children!

Today some professing Christians assert that Critical Theory, Critical Race Theory, and Intersectionality are helpful tools for the Church.  These people have an appearance of godliness, but their assertions deny the sufficiency of God’s Word to guide the Church in living out the reconciliation Jesus secured for us on the cross.

Make no mistake, as Paul told Timothy, the God-breathed Scripture is sufficient for teaching, for correction, for training in righteousness.

Those who have an appearance of godliness, but deny the power of God’s Word for doctrine and practice must be identified and avoided.

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.”

LORD, please strengthen us to abolish this wickedness!

According to a recent study published by the Christian Post, 76.3% of all abortions are obtained by “God-fearing” women—with 68.7% who identify themselves as Christian women; and 18% of all abortions obtained by self described “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.  When the hearts of the American people turn to God, everything else will be impacted.

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.

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.

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 flame-less by-standers.

Saul meant well, but his armor couldn’t help.  It would only slow David down.

Matt Walsh wrote a piece for the Daily Wire where he said, "The contemporary American Christian is the most open-minded person to have ever existed.  He’s so open minded you can hardly tell he’s Christian, or has a mind at all…

He has for a long time been open to the idea that marriage isn’t permanent and sex isn’t meant exclusively for marriage.  He’s basically open to whatever notions are popular…

He is open, and where he is not open, he is silent."
