A couple of days ago, @JamesAFurey shared his powerful testimony, and it hit home hard because like him, I denied God and Jesus for over a decade. Today, God put it on my heart to share mine. Not to add or take away from anyone else's story, but so I can fade into the background and let Jesus and the empty tomb shine through. On Sunday, October 27, 2024, I carried the heavy weight of more than 10 years estranged from my faith. The joyful hymns of my childhood had turned into silent resentment toward my parents, who once nurtured my beliefs, especially my mother, whose narcissistic actions, despite claiming to be a "pastor" and a "prophet" left deep wounds. Global events and circumstances had left me open to believing that there was a God behind everything, turning what was meant for evil into good, so I had begun seeking out truth but was extremely guarded out of fear of being lied to. The sermon was on forgiveness from Matthew 18. My heart, hardened by old conflicts, started to soften. The pastor talked about forgiving "seventy times seven" times, and those words echoed inside me, calling me to let go of the bitterness. The pastor also referred to Ephesians 1:17 "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him." At the end, during the altar call, the pastor looked right at me, my wife can attest, made eye contact with me, and said, "Forgive your mother." My heart melted. I went to the altar, knelt under the cross, and prayed for strength to forgive, and for God to forgive my own sins and to heal my hard heart. Tears streamed down my face like a quiet renewal as I whispered the words. After unburdening my soul, I returned to my seat lighter, hopeful, but still a bit unsure. As I sat down, the projector showed the next song for the congregation: "Blessed Assurance." I'm so grateful my wife was there to see it, because it feels almost too incredible to believe. The title hit me like a freight train. "Blessed Assurance" was my favorite hymn from childhood, sung countless times before doubts and family issues clouded my faith. And this was a remix, a new song by Elevation Worship called "Trust In God." It felt like God's personal whisper, confirming my prayer was heard and my heart touched by grace. Tears flowed again, but these were tears of joy and homecoming. The lyrics sealed it: Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine   He's been my fourth man in the fire, time after time   Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood   And what He did for me on Calvary is more than enough   I trust in God, my Savior   The one who will never fail   He will never fail   I trust in God, my Savior   The one who will never fail   He will never fail   Perfect submission, all is at rest   I know the author of tomorrow has ordered my steps   So this is my story and this is my song   I'm praising my risen King and Savior all the day long   I trust in God, my Savior   The one who will never fail   He will never fail (x2)   He didn't fail you then   He won't fail you now   I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered (x3)   That's why I trust Him, that's why I trust Him  That's why I trust in God, my Savior   The one who will never fail   He will never fail   Oh, I trust in God, my Savior   The one who will never fail   He will never fail   I sought the Lord   I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered   I sought the Lord (and He delivered me from all my fears)   I sought the Lord (from everything)   And He heard and He answered, oh   That's why I trust Him, that's why I trust Him   I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered (x3)   That's why I trust Him, that's why I trust in God   After the service, I talked to the pastor. He reminded me that forgiveness doesn't mean letting an abusive person back in your life to harm you again. Jesus is with me. He rose from the grave. He is alive and full of love.

@LauraLoomer @Jkylebass @FDNY @FDNYAlerts @SDNYnews @POTUS @SecScottBessent The only people who care have already long moved out of New York. There will be absolutely no real push back on this except on social media.

@Jkylebass @FDNY @FDNYAlerts @SDNYnews @POTUS @SecScottBessent Let’s hope the backlash is extreme.

This is a deliberate provocation from certain Muslim leaders, amplified by Mamdani’s confrontational and disrespectful approach. It’s a step too far, and I think the backlash will be significant. 🇺🇸 @FDNY @FDNYAlerts @SDNYnews @POTUS @SecScottBessent

@KratosBTC @Pirat_Nation "Imagine how many stupid people graduated" After a very short while in the real world you realize very few college graduates aren't terrifyingly stupid. The introduction of AI won't even register as a noticeable blip of change in this regard.

@LibertyCipher @Pirat_Nation The moment you give AI the decisions, the crativity of humans literally disappears. Think about that for a minute. Even now with ChatGPT, most students dont even write themselves their exams. Imagine how many stupid people graduated with a random fake essay. This is dystopian

Capcom said No AI-generated art, models, textures, or other assets will appear in final released games. All shipped content remains 100% human-created. > "We will not be implementing materials generated by AI into our games content."

We're at the point now where if you watch star Trek the Next Generation today you realize all of the computer and telecommunications tech is outdated. Only tech that seems advanced is energy production, manufacturing, transportation, weapons, and medical.

@Lancster_ @daveyman3 @rabbriansamuel Gaetz hates Trump even more than MTG does.

@daveyman3 @rabbriansamuel Gaetz has a love of Hitler, Putin and Trump. And he's a pedophile. Not a good person.

Matt Gaetz no longer serving in Washington is an answer to prayer. Marjorie Taylor Greene no longer serving in Washington is an answer to prayer. Joe Kent no longer serving in Washington is an answer to prayer. I pray for more!!

@LauraLoomer @BrandonStraka For some reason "influencers" shout "no enemies to the right!" while they suppress people on the right who support Trump & denounce division Meanwhile Gaetz, MTG, Boebert, Alex Jones, Carlson, Megyn, Candace, etc.. are allowed to do their worst to kick Jews out of the coalition

@BrandonStraka She is a traitor. Why amplify her voice?

@WilliamShatner When I read "never trust" my brain finished as "a Klingon!"

At 95, I'm still smokin'! 😝 I’ve learned two things: Never waste a good cigar. Never trust anyone who says you should ‘act your age.’ 😉👍🏻

@GonadsOfSteel @TheMilkBarTV @AndrewKolvet Kolvet is a CIA plant.

@TheMilkBarTV @AndrewKolvet Kolvet has been trying to play all sides. It's pretty ironic for a guy with supposed principles.

🚨BREAKING: A member of the Charlie Kirk group chat claims it is ‘verified’ that Joe Kent leaked the screenshots to Candace Owens. ‘We kind of verified that the messages had been given by @AndrewKolvet to Joe Kent, and that Joe Kent was the one who passed them on to Candace,’ said @RabbiPW, who was in the Charlie Kirk group chat that was leaked to Candace Owens. From @Erin_Molan’s show.

@TheMilkBarTV @AndrewKolvet I still stand by my article where I lay out the case that Andrew Kolvet is a CIA plant meant to infiltrate TPYSA and is now doing all he can to destroy it from within x.com/i/status/19760…

Medium well = Dog food Well done = Right to jail

Oh mylanta 🤣

@lucyshow11 Core memory unlocked

@ReviewsPossum Don't many serial killers get their start with practicing on small mammals including cats?

You're nice to cats because you think they're cute. AI doesn't think you're cute.

@4thOfJuly365 I loved the black pepper breaded wings and the clams.

Damn this is nostalgic.

@misfitpatriot_ Charlie endeavored to be friends with nearly everybody, even (and maybe especially) if they disagreed with him. He was truly an amazing example.

Charlie deserved way better friends than the ones he had.

“Not everyone who is saying to Me, ‘[Christ is King]!’ will come into the Reign of the Heavens; but he who is doing the will of My Father, who is in the Heavens.” —Matthew 7:21 (MJLT) “Be careful of the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves; from their fruits you will know them. Do men gather grapes from thorns? Or figs from thistles? So every good tree yields good fruits, but the bad tree yields evil fruits. A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits. Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire. Therefore, from their fruits you will know them.” —Matthew 7:15-20 (MJLT)

Hey @JackPosobiec, How does it feel to be reposted by the demon destroying your “best friend’s” widow and life’s work? Do you like the extra views? Does that mean more do you than morality? We all know the answer. It is reprehensible that @TPUSA still stands by this man.

Know the op when you see it.

We don't need the exact word "Trinity" any more than we need the exact phrase "incarnation" or "second coming." The Bible gives us the raw data (plurality at creation in Genesis 1, a named Son in proverbs 30, the Holy Spirit in 2 Samuel 23:2, the human-form throne vision in Ezekiel), and the Church synthesizes it faithfully. But adding "Queen of Heaven," "Co-Redemptrix," or praying to departed saints as mediators does go beyond the text; exactly what Proverbs 30:6 forbids. We already have the one mediator who ascended and descended (1 Timothy 2:5 + Proverbs 30:4). That's why the early Church stuck to Scripture as the check and balance. These aren't "private interpretation" they're the same verses Protestants and the earliest fathers pointed to. If the Trinity can be accepted on this basis, consistency demands we don't add extra mediators or titles that Scripture never gives Mary.

@LibertyCipher @_Stetsi @GodlyAction Why does everything have to be literally word for word in the Bible? I mean…the word Trinity is nowhere in the Bible yet you have no problem believing it…

Jesus can answer your prayers. His mother cannot.

@littleflower673 @_Stetsi @GodlyAction Evidence: the literal phrase "Queen of heaven" appears nowhere in the Bible, but is attributed by Catholics to Miriam. However, the term "Queen of heaven" does appear in Roman mythology regarding the goddess Juno.

@LibertyCipher @_Stetsi @GodlyAction I can appreciate that perspective, but the proof for it is nowhere to be found.
