God understands that—if we’re not deliberate—we are capable of imagining countless scenarios in which relationships fracture and bad things happen. So He built into His Word instructions for recognizing and overcoming the inclination to let our minds run away with us.These battles in our minds are actually a normal part of Christian experience. In 2 Corinthians 10, Paul speaks about this very vividly. In verse three he says:“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.”Paul says we are living physical bodies in a material world.

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Religion Forum Threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind. You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.” (Matt. 22:29)

What do the would-be Masters of the Universe have planned for us for the coming year? Economic collapse? A new digital currency? Expanded surveillance state? Global food shortages? Energy grid collapse? Pandemic 2.0? We do not know precisely, but we can get a general idea of the ugly agenda the globalists are pursuing from the just-concluded Bilderberg meeting. This is the annual ultra-secretive, ultra-high-level assembly of the world movers and shakers of Big Finance, Big Business, Big Media, Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Government: Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Prudential, AXA, Google, Microsoft, Palantir, DeepMind, OpenAI, Shell, Pfizer, Merck, Bloomberg,...

st a month ago Pope Bergoglio asked with a "please" not to be linked to Argentine politics. It was when he confirmed his intention to visit our country only next year because there will be no more elections. Bergoglio plays the part. While he plays the game of impartiality, he has just appointed as the new Archbishop of Buenos Aires, the highest Catholic member of the hierarchy in the country, an avowedly Peronist priest. The new Archbishop is Ignacio García Cuerva. He was a slum priest, then Bishop of Santa Cruz and a typical militant of Argentinean anti-capitalist Catholic poverty-worshippers.

Good morning freedom lovers! Todays report we see the Patriots getting it done. It puzzles me how Russia thinks bombing Ukraine time and again is going to win the war for them. Think V-2s into London.

Good news of a tentative deal for the U.S. debt ceiling impasse may quickly turn out to be bad news for financial markets. While an end to uncertainty would be welcome, the relief that may come from a deal may be a short-lived sugar high for investors. That's because once a deal is reached, the U.S. Treasury is expected to quickly refill its empty coffers with bond issuance, sucking out hundreds of billions of dollars of cash from the market. The raising of ceiling is expected to be followed by the issuance of nearly $1.1 trillion in new Treasury bills...

Weeks after Russia's former head of the Roscomsmos space agency cast doubt on the US moon landing in 1969, China announced plans to put a person on the moon by 2030.Moon Base Alpha by digital painter Jon HrubeschIn a Monday announcement, Lin Xiqiang, the deputy director of China’s Manned Space Agency, said that the CCP's moon landing project - part of the country's broader Lunar Exploration Project (Chang'e Project, named after the Chinese moon goddess) - had only "recently" been kick started. The project seeks to eventually enable short-term stays on the lunar surface, as along with the collection of...

Semifinal Details If you wish to wade through 99 pages of details, here's the full text of the Allegedly Final Debt-Ceiling Deal.The Wall Street Journal has a synopsis in Biden, McCarthy Agree to Final Details of Debt-Ceiling DealWith some conservative Republicans in both chambers signaling initial opposition to the deal, Biden urged both chambers of Congress to approve the agreement and said McCarthy would have sufficient votes in the Republican-led House to secure passage.He also sought to quell concerns among Democrats over some of the deal’s provisions, such as additional work requirements for certain government safety-net programs, and rejected criticism...

Late last week, we were the first to correctly summarize what the bottom line of the so-called "debt ceiling deal" meant for the US, for future generations of Americans, and for the ridiculous melodrama gripping Washington: a -0.2% of GDP cut in nominal spending.Hey @mattgaetz, the debt ceiling deal "cuts" spending by 0.2% of GDP or about $50 billion. Is that good enough? — zerohedge (@zerohedge) May 28, 2023That's right: that 0.2% cut in spending is what all the brewhaha was over, a cut which will not only push total debt to $35 trillion by the end of Biden's term,...

According to Mediaite, examining the ratings of Fox News primetime shows an average loss of one million viewers per night since firing Tucker Carlson on April 24.Fox News spokesperson responded to the Carlson-linked drop in primetime ratings, saying that the network is still the No. 1 cable news channel.“For more than 21 years, Fox News Channel has been cable news’ most-watched network in all categories with more Democrats, Independents, and Republicans now tuning in than either CNN or MSNBC,” Fox News said at the time. “Attracting more than 50 percent of the cable news-viewing audience with the top 12 programs...

I am not entirely sure how it was possible, but it appears that Kevin McCarthy was able to find a deal that may, in fact, be worse than a clean debt ceiling increase. But based on feedback from conservatives in Congress and activists from around the country, that appears to be what we have.In previous writings, I contended that, as long as Republicans didn’t snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, any deal would be a win and progressives acted as though this was the case. But McCarthy, true to form for Republican leadership, seems to have done exactly that...

Election irregularities have haunted Maricopa County, Ariz. for the past ten years, raising doubts about the legitimacy of a number of elections, including the 2020 presidential election, where Biden’s state-certified victory was a tiny fraction of the overall vote, and again in 2022 in the election between Katie Hobbs and Kari Lake. Since then, Republicans in Arizona — and other states with election issues — have sought to reform the state’s elections to help ensure that everyone in the state can feel confident that results were conducted fairly. Democrats have aggressively opposed the efforts and on Friday, Hobbs vetoed several...

More than 300 COVID-19-related articles have been retracted — long after they’d done their damage — due to a lack of scientific truthfulness and ethical guidelines, according to Retraction Watch, a website that monitors retractions of science-related articles.A total of 330 COVID-related papers have been retracted thus far.According to Gunnveig Grødeland, a senior researcher at the Institute of Immunology at the University of Oslo, many researchers took ethical shortcuts when writing their essays.“It will, of course, be withdrawn when it is found that ethical guidelines have been breached,” Grødeland quipped to Khrono, an academic news publication.Grødeland states that there were...

The criticisms that some conservative critics of President Trump have is that he had too much "baggage." The "baggage" is Trump's confrontational style, his "mean" social media posts, and the myriad "scandals" during his administration. They complain that Trump's "baggage" makes him impossible to defend. They complain that Trump often invites trouble. In Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, they think they have their ideal candidate: someone who purportedly stands for the MAGA agenda but is devoid of "baggage." So does the "baggage" make Trump a target? The eminent thinker and military historian Victor David Hanson enumerated the "baggage" that President...

Second best apparently just wasn’t good enough for this pageant gal’s No. 1 fan. With rage in his eyes and destruction in his heart, an unhinged husband stormed the stage of an “LGBTQIAP+ beauty pageant” in Brazil, hijacked the winner’s crown and furiously slammed it to the ground after his wife was awarded the second-place honors, local news outlet Globo reported.

California has mandated that all new homes built are to be all-electric, and starting in 2030, all new home appliances will be electric. I expect that Washington will soon follow California's lead of all-electric homes and appliances. In addition, Washington has mandated that fifty percent of new automobiles are to be electric. Sacramento and Washington Democrats possess the power to enact these mandates but cannot, with a pen stroke, rebuild America's electrical grid.American families have met their energy needs for over a hundred years with electricity, gas, and gasoline. Now families are being forced to depend solely on electric utilities...

A New York Times reviewer criticized Disney's new children's movie, The Little Mermaid, because it lacked — are you ready? — "kink."According to BizPacReview:Disney's live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid" is a dud, according to one woke critic.It's "everything nobody should want in a movie," wrote Wesley Morris for The New York Times, "dutiful and defensive, yet desperate for approval. It reeks of obligation and noble intentions."What the film, starring singer Halle Bailey, needed, according to Morris, is more "kink.""Joy, fun, mystery, risk, flavor, kink — they're missing," he stated.How'd that get past the editors?And what, exactly, did this guy...

Data from the phase III INTERACT3 study demonstrate that a new combination of treatments for stroke due to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) significantly improves the chances of surviving without major disability. The INTERACT3 study is the first-ever randomized controlled trial to show a clearly positive outcome for the treatment of ICH. Timely administration of the new treatment protocol—known as a Care Bundle—centered on the rapid control of high blood pressure, led to improved recovery, lower rates of death, and better overall quality of life. Professor Craig Anderson said, "Despite the high rates of ICH and its severity, there are few proven...
