Pray For The Peace of JerusalemLuke 4 Jesus Rejected at Nazareth 14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. 15 He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. 16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: 18 “The Spirit of the Lord...

A Washington mom-of-three slammed her local school board for canceling music lessons for fourth graders after a school board member alleged it was rooted in 'white supremacy culture' and 'institutional violence.' Alesha Perkins blasted Olympia School District members after they voted last week to halt band and orchestra classes amid a million-dollar budget shortage. Perkins called out School Board Director Scott Clifthorne, who argued that the school district was 'entrenched in… surrounded by white supremacy culture' at a meeting of concerned parents last week. Clifthorne argued that music lessons beneficial but inequitable since students at certain schools can miss out...

In 2013, the Arkansas legislature passed, and a Democrat governor signed a bill that reformed Arkansas’s gun law. That bill created the same conditions as had existed in Vermont for 90 years: Constitutional Carry. In 2023, the Arkansas legislature passed an apparent and clear, in-your-face, straight-up Constitutional Carry bill, given the obvious success of the 2013 law.In 2013, the AR legislature passed HB1700. Democrat Governor Mike Beebe immediately said he had no idea he was signing a Constitutional Carry bill. Part of the reform, which went into effect on August 16, 2013, was a change in the definition of what...

They are promoting transgenderism to 3 year olds to increase political power.

Video —-Former Fox News producer Abby Grossberg reacts to the ouster of Tucker Carlson and details the hostile work environment at Fox that she faced and is suing the company over

God’s ways seem paradoxical to the human mind. He says, “To live, you must die. To find your life, you must lose it. To become strong, you must first become weak.” One of the greatest paradoxes of all is this: To be truly free, you must become bound. To gain the greatest liberty in God, one must give up all rights and become a lifelong bondservant to the Lord Jesus Christ. There is a glorious servanthood that leads to the highest form of freedom. It is a voluntary surrender born out of love and affection, causing one to consider servitude...

"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness" (Matt. 5:10). There is a price to pay for being a Kingdom citizen. Unlike many today who try to make the gospel palatable for reluctant sinners, Jesus made it clear that following Him had its price. Rather than acceptance, fame, prestige, and prosperity, you can expect rejection and persecution. That's not a popular approach to evangelism, but it's honest. Also it insures that no one will try to enter the kingdom on the wrong basis. Jesus wanted His hearers to count the cost of discipleship. He knew that...

Today you’ll find two new #TwitterFiles threads out, one by longtime Racket contributor Matt Orfalea, and another by Andrew Lowenthal, who worked for 18 years defending digital rights at EngageMedia and watched activists in his space slowly be absorbed by what we’re now calling “The Censorship-Industrial Complex.” The two new threads collectively show the wide political range of revelations in the #TwitterFiles material, which have been slandered — absurdly — as a partisan exercise. Lowenthal, who in his “Insider’s Guide to ‘Anti-Disinformation’” describes himself as a “progressive-minded Australian,” printed a series of exchanges between journalists who attended a summer “tabletop...

A federal jury on Tuesday began hearing columnist E. Jean Carroll’s allegations that Donald Trump raped her in a department-store dressing room in the 1990s, in a civil trial spurred by a recent New York law that gave alleged long-ago survivors of sexual assault a new opportunity to file lawsuits. “We will present overwhelming evidence that Ms. Carroll is telling the truth,” Shawn G. Crowley, a lawyer for Ms. Carroll, told jurors during opening statements in the civil case. Joe Tacopina, a lawyer for Mr. Trump, said Ms. Carroll made up the story for money and political reasons. “What E....

Just a week after then-CIA Director John Brennan warned President Barack Obama that Hillary Clinton's campaign was "stirring up" a Russia scandal to harm Donald Trump, the agency's former acting chief became one of the first high-profile intelligence community figures to claim that the 2016 Republican nominee was a possible agent of Vladimir Putin. In an Aug. 5, 2016 op-ed in the New York Times, Michael Morell cited his CIA experience to make the Trump allegation and he also endorsed Clinton for president. "In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting...

Tyler v. Hennepin County [Minnesota] As an elderly woman living alone, Geraldine Tyler was doing just fine in the one-bedroom condo she owned in Minneapolis. That is, until 2010, when a rise in neighborhood crime and frightening incidents near her home alarmed Geraldine and her family and prompted her hasty move to a safer area, where she rented an apartment in a senior community. Finally Geraldine felt safe and comfortable again, surrounded by other seniors. But the property taxes on her condo started piling up. Soon Geraldine accrued a $2,300 tax debt; and the government started tacking on thousands of...

Tucker Carlson was taken off air by Rupert Murdoch because of overtly religious remarks Fox News' highest-rated host made during a recent speech, according to Vanity Fair. ........... Describing the debate over abortion and transgender rights, he told the audience: "what you’re watching is not a political movement. It’s evil." Carlson added: "I’m not calling for religious war. Far from it. I’m merely calling for an acknowledgement of what we’re watching". He said that engaging in debate no longer works. "I’ve tried. That doesn’t work," he said. He went on to suggest that he has concluded praying for the future...

Once the shooting begins, there is little place for rational conversation.Alas, recently in Nashville, TN, a 28-year-old disturbed woman, calling herself a male, walked into the Covenant School, which she had attended as a youth, and executed three adults and three nine-year-old children: Evelyn Dieckhaus, Mike Hill, William Kinney, Katherine Koonce, Cynthia Peak, and Hallie Scruggs. We note the names of those slaughtered and pray for their bereaved families.Recently, there has been a call to violence among progressives. Already, violent speech and the refusal of dialogue has taken over college campuses, where screaming and physical threats bring an end to...

Just days before he was fired from Fox News, Tucker Carlson put out an exposé on the efforts of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum to change the diets of people worldwide by pushing bug eating.

A 2016 medical article documenting the tragic death of one of the participants in the linchpin Dutch study upon which the entire child sex change experiment is based indicates that puberty suppression was to blame for the young person’s death.
