I still say President Trump was the best president in my lifetime, but his second term was stolen from him by the GOPe RINOS working with the thieving democrats. Best election ('16), best POTUS, evah! MAGA!! And I believe his second term will be even greater! I absolutely love the job DeSantis is doing for Florida, and would hate to see Florida lose him.

When all life’s rhetoric, rationalizations, and routines are swept aside, a person is either for Jesus Christ or against Him (cf. Mark 9:40). After performing many miracles (Matt. 4:23–24) and preaching in detail the gospel and sanctification (chaps. 5–7), Jesus more specifically urged people either to accept Him or reject Him. Here begins a final appeal of grace and mercy during His first Galilean ministry. This opening address to God calls our attention both to Christ’s unique relationship to His Father and to the...
