“Is money that important to that ethnic group that they will march shamelessly to the next Holocaust? “

Nice use of stereotypes.

“Nice use of stereotypes.”

Well is it more important to them? They have done it in the past. Russia during the revolution, etc.

You do know the old saying do you not? The definition of insanity and all that?

How dam stupid could a people get? Antisemitism rampant within the party they support and they blindly continue on as if there is nothing to it.

Trusting God in Times of Sorrow

Bible in a Year:

• Psalms 46–48
• Acts 28

I know whom I have believed.

2 Timothy 1:12 When a man known as “Papa John” learned he had terminal cancer, he and his wife, Carol, sensed God calling them to share their illness journey online. Believing that God would minister through their vulnerability, they posted their moments of joy and their sorrow and pain for two years.

When Carol wrote that her husband “went into the outstretched arms of Jesus,” hundreds of people responded, with many thanking Carol for their openness. One person remarked that hearing about dying from a Christian point of view was healthy, for “we all have to die” someday. Another said that although she’d never met the couple personally, she couldn’t express how much encouragement she’d received through their witness of trusting God.

Although Papa John sometimes felt excruciating pain, he and Carol shared their story so they could demonstrate how God upheld them. They knew their testimony would bear fruit for God, echoing what Paul wrote to Timothy when he suffered: “I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day” (2 Timothy 1:12).

God can use even the death of a loved one to strengthen our faith in Him (and the faith of others) through the grace we receive in Christ Jesus (v. 9). If you’re experiencing anguish and difficulty, know that He can bring comfort and peace.

How have you experienced God’s joy even in times of deep sorrow? How do you explain this? How could you share what you learned with others?

Heavenly Father, fan into flame the gift of faith in me, that I might share with love and power my testimony of how You work in my life.
