Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Lambs, Sheep, and Shepherds. Genesis 27 Jacob Arrives in Paddan Aram 29 Then Jacob continued on his journey and came to the land of the eastern peoples. 2 There he saw a well in the open country, with three flocks of sheep lying near it because the flocks were watered from that well. The stone over the mouth of the well was large. 3 When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone away from the well’s mouth and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over...

“He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips” (Proverbs 20:19).

Bishop Aubre Shines writes in the Washington Times about systemic racism in America, which he attributes to the historical Democrat Party dating back to the post-Civil War era, the Jim Crow laws, and their enforcer: The Ku Klux Klan: These past couple of weeks have been some of the saddest I’ve seen in my lifetime as an African-American. It began with the tragic, needless, death of George Floyd, but then quickly escalated into some of the most vicious, violent rioting our country has seen in decades. The Democratic Party, true to form, never lets a crisis go to waste. It...

Mama said, “There are those who talk about it, and those who do something about it.” I think we know who’s who in this video. They ask Kim to come on ‘The View’ the view to talk about her campaign. However, the ‘View’ ladies only asked about ‘Trump.’ She wanted to talk about specific actions she wants to implement in Baltimore. They can’t debate her, so they taunt. She wiped the floor with them. Sonny is literally left spinning. The classic liberal “shout over you” so you can’t respond reaction. Then the childish “Wowww” response by Sonny Hostin as she...

Beloved, do your part today as Christ's solider for America in these last days without compromising our TRUE ETERNAL calling to outlive and proclaim the ETERNAL Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray for Almighty God's grace for America, pray for revival and a coming back to Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS, pray for healing, pray for Israel and Almighty God's providential hand on our nation for good, but ALWAYS be looking for the Blessed Hope and Rapture of our RIGHTEOUS Savior (1 Cor. 2:2, Gal. 2:20, 2 Tim. 2:1-4)! For that indeed my beloved is our TRUE HOPE in such days and...

President Trump has pulled the trigger on actually lowering prescription drug prices. By ending arbitrary trade barriers he could save Americans over $50 Billion a year. Even staunch believers in free-market capitalism recognize that there are areas where the government is required to put on a striped shirt and play the referee. Republicans going back to Teddy Roosevelt have understood that. Especially when companies have acquired monopoly powers. President Roosevelt ruffled feathers among Wall Street tycoons when he launched his effort to break up the trusts. Trusts that were abusing their market power, creating monopolies. American consumers were being harmed...

A new generation of American’s has now become defined. They are called the “E” generation or the Entitlement Generation. We see them throughout America today. If they don’t get what they want, they violently protest and create manipulative arguments to get their way. This generation was created by us, overindulgent parents, teachers and professors, who supported "participation trophies" and "victimhood theories." Plus, we became skilled at interfering on their behalf whenever they didn’t get what they wanted. This is particularly noticeable in the violent protests that are sweeping the country, and the “E” generation’s lack respect for anything not covered...

. FILLING GAPS .ART-WORKS CONTINUALLY SURFACE after-the-fact, pieces not seen earlier when gathering up everything on a given Bible passage. Frequently now I’m finding new sites to explore—well, “finding” should read “being led to”—and often they contain new pearls. So, here are these fresh findings, unrelated to one another and presented chronologically. Viewing them will be rather like walking through a Biblical art museum with dozens of uncategorized offerings: no overarching theme except Christ as Savior and Lord. This is the third of such “retrospectives” in our long journey through Scripture. It seems almost inevitable that there will be more....

LOWER SAUCON TWP., Pa. (WLVT) - Despite a change of venue, Mark and Patricia McCloskey still made their way to the Lehigh Valley to speak. The Northampton County Republican Committee rented a pavilion at Town Hall Park to host the Missouri couple who gained fame in June while standing outside their home with guns drawn as Black Lives Matter protesters marched by. An estimated 200-plus people showed up Thursday night to to listen to their story and their support of the Second Amendment right to bear arms. The event was originally planned for a park in Palmer Township but the...

MORROW, Ohio (WKRC) — A local group called Holiday for Heroes is awarding scholarships to the two Little Miami teens who were briefly suspended from the high school football team for carrying two flags onto the field when the district said they were told not to. Brady Williams carried a Thin Blue Line flag and Jarad Bentley carried a Thin Red Line flag onto the field on Sept. 11.

“I'm your wall between the American dream and chaos.”  President Trump, Minnesota September 18, 2020 You can take this literally, as the rabid Left is setting cities on fire - and for all we know forests as well - and threatening to do more if they don’t get their way. Or you can think of it as a figurative wall between the chaos, randomness, and the noise of Marxist resistance and our Constitutional system of democracy. Life is chaos; what we actually have is a choice between the nuevo-communists’ chaos of entropy and destruction or the more deterministic chaos...

Authorities say three men have died in a shooting at a restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky. News outlets report that Louisville Metro Police said a shooting was reported Friday night at Bungalow Joe’s Bar and Grill. The owner Joe Bishop who is a former cop was still in disbelief the day after three customers were killed in a shooting at his restaurant, Bungalow Joe’s Bar and Grill. “I didn’t think I’d be scrubbing blood off my patio on a Saturday morning,” Bishop told WDRB News. “I thought I was getting ready for everybody to watch the ballgame.” Bishop said he had...

[Note: this piece is heavy on video content.] The Democrat-sponsored riots are spreading across the country again. – As I predicted yesterday and right on cue, the riots organized by the domestic terrorist Democrat Party proxy groups BLM and Antifa have started back up again. Friday night was re-start night in Portland, and on Saturday they cranked back up in New York City, Washington DC and Philadelphia.

It’s just the flu, bro. I have no source handy but I am hearing that PCR Covid tests yield a false positive between 1% and 0.8% of the time. That sounds really low and that we should all be happy with that - wrong! Those areas like NYC and New Jersey that are well into herd immunity territory are getting positive tests less than 2% of the time. That means that about half of the positive tests in many regions are false. So now you see the playbook that left wing Dems have to keep the crisis going - use...

About that RBG “final wish”… – It was widely reported yesterday that, on her death bed, Ruth Bader Ginsburg allegedly said that her “most fervent wish” was to not be replaced until “a new president is installed.” Yeah, that probably didn’t really happen. It turns out that the one and only person claiming to have heard this while RBG was surrounded by family is her daughter, who is herself a leftist activist, which most likely means she made the entire thing up. And even if the late Justice did say that, the Constitution doesn’t care about her last wishes. Indeed,...

RACHEL MADDOW, MSNBC HOST: I think a lot of the emotion around that in the country was in part that the Republicans and Mitch McConnell had done something that really did feel like it broke the system, that really did feel like just a small D, anti-democratic assault on the process. But it also felt like a feminist catastrophe and -- and you not becoming the first woman president, despite Justice Ginsburg's fervent belief that you would be. That was part of how she explained that she didn't retire during the Obama years. But also then for that Supreme...

As news of the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg spread, the left-wing twittersphere exploded. Ginsburg was widely seen as single-handedly holding back the blood-thirsty reactionary Trump-crazy hordes. The Independent’s Holly Baxter lamented: “Sometimes it felt like she was America’s last hope.” Ginsburg’s passing loosed fear, frustration, anger, and defiance among the liberal legions.

The feces are going to hit the fan harder than it has at any point throughout the Trump administration. If you thought the Kavanaugh confirmation was a fight, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. If you weren’t excited about voting before… The death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has given the election even more urgency than it had before. Yes, I realize that’s an understatement, but sometimes the simplest words are the best. Democrats have made no mystery of their plans should they ever obtain power again, and it’s not good for fans of individual liberty, personal responsibility, or...

"Take the helmet of salvation" (Eph. 6:17). Discouragement and doubt are deflected when you know you’re secure in Christ. The Roman soldier's helmet was a crucial piece of armor designed to deflect blows to the head—especially the potentially lethal blow of a broadsword. Soldiers of that day carried a swift and precise dagger designed for close- quarter hand-to-hand combat. But they also carried a giant broadsword, which was a two-edged, three to four-foot long sword. It had a massive handle that, similar to a baseball bat, was held with both hands. With it they could take broad swipes from side...
