Five Choices That Separate the Spiritually Mature From Those Poor in Spirit Spiritual maturity is not measured by talk, emotion, or religious activity, but by choices shaped by Jehovah’s Word. Five choices make the difference. The mature choose obedience over excuse, truth over comfort, discipline over impulse, repentance over self-defense, and endurance over quitting. That is where real growth happens. A person remains weak when he keeps hearing Scripture without submitting to it, keeps defending what God condemns, and keeps delaying what he already knows he should do. This must be stated carefully: in Matthew 5:3, being “poor in spirit” refers to humble awareness of spiritual need, not spiritual weakness. But many today are weak because they want encouragement without correction and blessing without obedience. The spiritually mature do not negotiate with truth. They accept reproof, guard their speech, reject compromise, and keep walking faithfully even when life is hard. The dividing line is not knowledge alone. It is whether a person will act on what Jehovah has already said.

CHRIST OR CHAOS: Why the Word of God Is the Only Answer in a World of Deception – November 17, 2025 ISBN-13: 979-8274866590

Sen. Marsha Blackburn is right to push back hard. Democrats have zero credibility blaming President Trump for the murder of an innocent Chicago college student by an illegal immigrant. The blood is on their hands—years of open borders, catch-and-release, sanctuary cities, and refusal to deport criminals created this nightmare. Trump warned them repeatedly. They mocked him and kept the gates wide open. Heartbreaking beyond words that another young life full of promise was cut short because radical left policies valued illegal invaders over American citizens. This is the direct, predictable result of prioritizing “compassion” for lawbreakers over justice for victims. Scripture is clear: government bears the sword to punish evildoers and protect the innocent (Romans 13:4). Trump is finally enforcing that biblical principle by restoring secure borders and unleashing ICE. No more excuses, no more shielding killers. Democrats own this carnage. Their deflection is disgusting. America voted for strength—mass deportations, no sanctuary for criminals, and citizens first. Keep fighting, Senator.

Cory Booker is either delusional or lying through his teeth. Empty lines at Newark Airport? That’s exactly what secure borders and strong leadership look like. Under Trump, ICE is back doing its job, travelers feel safer, and the chaos caused by Biden’s open-border insanity is finally being reversed. Heartbreaking that so many innocent Americans—like the 83-year-old veteran just murdered in a New York subway by an illegal migrant with a criminal record—paid the ultimate price for years of Democrat policies that flooded our country with unvetted criminals. Booker and his radical colleagues defended those policies and now whine when order is restored. Scripture is clear: rulers are God’s servants to punish wrongdoers and protect the innocent (Romans 13:4). Trump is delivering that protection. No more apologies for putting American safety first. Booker can keep talking to empty rooms. Americans see the difference: strength brings peace, weakness brings death.

Cory Booker speaking to an empty Newark Airport with no lines saying, “Donald Trump has bought chaos to our airports.”

Acquiring the Mind of Christ Will Change Everything for You To acquire the mind of Christ is to let His thinking govern your judgment, speech, priorities, endurance, and conduct. It is not emotional religion or empty church language. It is disciplined submission to the truth of Scripture so that you begin to view people, suffering, sin, work, time, and worship as Jesus Christ viewed them. Paul wrote, “But we have the mind of Christ” (1 Cor. 2:16). That means the Christian must learn to think in harmony with the Spirit-inspired Word, not with the world, not with self, and not with human philosophy. When the mind is reshaped by biblical truth, everything changes. Pride gives way to humility. Impurity is exposed. Bitterness loses ground. Fear is answered by trust in Jehovah. Impulsive choices are replaced by wisdom. You stop asking, “What do I feel?” and start asking, “What is true? What honors God? What did Christ teach?” A changed life begins with a changed mind, and a mind trained by Christ changes everything.

The Silent Killer of Every Dream You Have The silent killer of every dream is not lack of talent, lack of opportunity, or lack of support. It is delay. It is the habit of knowing what should be done and refusing to do it now. Dreams die quietly when people keep postponing discipline, avoiding correction, wasting time, and waiting for perfect conditions that never come. Scripture warns against this kind of drift. “The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the soul of the diligent is made fat” (Prov. 13:4). Many people blame fear, pain, or bad circumstances, and those pressures are real. But the deeper problem is often undisciplined living. A person who will not govern his habits will not reach what he says he wants. Jehovah blesses diligence, honesty, self-control, and faithful labor, not excuses. Stop waiting for motivation. Stop protecting comfort. Do the work in front of you. Correct what is wrong. Remove what wastes your strength. Pray for wisdom and act on truth. Most dreams are not destroyed in a moment. They are buried under repeated delay.

Sen. Ron Johnson is absolutely right—time to end the legislative filibuster and stop the endless gridlock. For years, radical Democrats have weaponized every Senate rule to block border security, energy independence, and the America First agenda Americans voted for. They protected open borders that let in killers like the one who just murdered an 83-year-old veteran in a New York subway, while shielding millions of illegals from deportation. Enough. Scripture teaches that government’s God-given role is to restrain evil and promote justice (Romans 13:1-4), not play political games while citizens suffer. Republicans now hold the power. Use it. Pass the tough bills Trump needs—mass deportations, secure borders, defund sanctuary cities, and restore law and order—without begging for Democrat permission. Weak-kneed procedural excuses only prolong the pain. The American people didn’t elect us to manage decline; they elected us to fix it. Kill the filibuster, deliver results, and put citizens first. No more excuses.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., is calling for a dramatic shift in Senate procedure, arguing that Republicans should consider ending the legislative filibuster to break what he describes as a pattern of gridlock and failure in Washington. bit.ly/41z8F1q

This is pure evil. An 83-year-old veteran—someone who served this country with honor—randomly shoved onto the subway tracks by a demonic illegal migrant and left to die. Heartbreaking beyond words. This veteran deserved to live out his final years in safety, not murdered by someone who never should have been here. The killer, a migrant with a lengthy criminal record, is exactly the kind of threat Biden’s open-border policies welcomed and shielded. Now radical Democrats fight tooth and nail to defund DHS and ICE, doing everything possible to prevent deportations and keep these monsters roaming our streets. Scripture is clear: government exists to bear the sword and punish evildoers (Romans 13:4). Protecting citizens isn’t optional. Trump is right to unleash ICE and restore law and order. No more apologies, no more sanctuary for killers. Americans first—deport the criminals, secure the border, and stop the bloodshed. Enough is enough.

This demonic killer migrant is among the millions of illegals Dems are attempting to shield from deportation by defunding DHS/ICE. Dems want NO illegal deported.

Scripture never directs Christians to call on departed believers as intercessors. We pray to Jehovah the Father through Jesus Christ alone—our one Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5; John 14:6). The Vatican’s plan to beatify Fulton Sheen and Bishop Barron’s eagerness to call on him as a “heavenly intercessor” is pure idolatry rooted in Roman Catholic tradition, not the Bible. This practice has zero support in the Historical-Grammatical reading of Scripture. No apostle ever taught praying to dead saints. The Bible presents only one way to the Father: through Christ. Anything else is a false addition that dishonors the sufficiency of Jesus’ mediation. Roman Catholicism continues to promote these unbiblical doctrines—beatification, invocation of saints, and Marian devotion—while claiming authority it does not possess. Such teachings lead millions into spiritual deception, directing devotion away from God alone and toward created beings. Fulton Sheen may have been a skilled communicator, but he remains a dead man who cannot hear prayers. True Christians reject this entire system as a false religion that has distorted the gospel for centuries. Return to the pure Word of God. Pray to the Father through the Son alone. No saints, no hierarchy, no sacramental machinery—Christ is enough. ISBN-13: 979-8282695076

Friends, I was absolutely delighted to hear this morning that the Vatican will beatify Archbishop Fulton Sheen on September 24!  From the very beginning of my work in evangelization through the media, Sheen has been my model and inspiration. I look forward with enthusiasm to calling on “Blessed Fulton Sheen” as a heavenly friend and intercessor. vaticannews.va/en/vatican-cit…

It wasn’t just another conference—it was a powerful stand for sanity in a world gone mad. CPAC Hungary drew thousands who reject the suicidal open-border policies, family-destroying woke ideology, and globalist surrender that have wrecked Europe and nearly destroyed America. Leaders like Viktor Orbán, with Trump’s strong video endorsement, are fighting to preserve national sovereignty, secure borders, and biblical values of family and nation against radical leftist chaos. After years of weak Western leadership inviting mass migration, terror threats, and cultural erosion, this gathering signals the rising tide of real conservatism. Heartbreaking to watch once-Christian nations lose their identity to unchecked immigration and moral decay, yet inspiring to see patriots refusing to surrender. Trump’s America First movement is inspiring this global awakening. No apologies for putting citizens first, defending life and liberty, and confronting evil instead of appeasing it. The left calls it “far-right.” We call it common sense rooted in truth. Victory belongs to those who stand firm.

The fifth edition of CPAC Hungary, held in Budapest last weekend, did not feel like just another conference on the conservative calendar. newsmax.com/platinum/cpac-…

Trump is not a well educated Christian who has decades of Bible study, reading, and church attendance. He is perpetually like new born deer, barely able to stand. What we appreciate is his commitment to Christian that he will protect us and America. Paul told Timothy that we are to pray for our leaders so we can peacefully carry out our ministry while we await Jesus' return. Trump is filling that role.

@ChristianPub @TheLeoTerrell @AGPamBondi But denies Jesus can get him into heaven. Thanks his son in law for converting his daughter from Christianity.

President Trump is the greatest President in my lifetime! Thanks to him and @AGPamBondi, I now have the greatest job in the world!

President Trump is spot on—again. The Radical Left and their Democrat enablers can’t stand seeing America win decisively. After years of weak, apologetic leadership that let Iran fund terror and threaten our allies, Trump is finally delivering real strength and results. Their desperate attempts to stir inner chaos and smear every success only expose how much they hate a strong, secure America. Heartbreaking that innocent American lives were lost confronting this evil, yet that blood demands we finish the job without hesitation or apology. Scripture is clear: government bears the sword to punish evildoers (Romans 13:4). Weakness invites more death; righteous resolve protects the innocent. The American people see through the media-Democrat spin. Trump is putting America First, and the wins keep coming. No more surrender to tyrants or open borders that import danger. Keep fighting, Mr. President. We’re with you.

President Trump took to his Truth Social, blasting what he called the “Radical Left, country-hating Democrats,” accusing them of trying to create “inner chaos” to distract from what he described as a major U.S. military success in Iran.

Why 99% of People Stay Spiritually Average (and How to Escape) Most people stay spiritually average for one reason: they hear truth without submitting to it. They like encouragement, familiar verses, and religious language, but they resist correction, discipline, and costly obedience. Spiritual mediocrity grows wherever Scripture is admired more than obeyed. A person can attend church, talk about faith, and still remain unchanged because he has made peace with partial obedience. That is where stagnation lives. Average Christianity survives on convenience. It reads the Bible casually, prays inconsistently, tolerates private sin, avoids hard repentance, and mistakes emotion for growth. But real spiritual strength is formed through steady obedience to Jehovah’s Word. James says the one who hears and does not act deceives himself (Jas. 1:22). That deception keeps many comfortable and unfruitful. Escape begins when you stop negotiating with truth. Repent where the text exposes you. Remove what feeds compromise. Study Scripture carefully. Pray with purpose. Obey what is already clear. Growth is not reserved for a rare few. It belongs to those who stop making excuses and start submitting to what God has said.

Finally, common sense returns. Deploying ICE agents in airports isn’t just helpful for TSA workloads—it’s smart national security. Under Trump, we’re putting officers where they belong: watching for threats instead of babysitting endless caravans at the border. This is what real leadership looks like after years of Biden-era chaos that flooded the country with unvetted migrants, including criminals and terrorists who exploited every loophole. Travelers welcoming extra security? Of course they do. Americans are tired of feeling unsafe in their own airports and streets because radical left policies prioritized open borders over public safety. Heartbreaking how many lives—like young Sheridan Gorman’s—were lost because previous administrations treated borders as suggestions. No more. ICE doing its job protects families, deters evil, and restores order. Trump is delivering exactly what the country voted for: strength, security, and zero apologies for putting Americans first.

WELCOME SIGHT: On Wednesday’s “The Right Squad,” the panel discussed the deployment of ICE personnel in airports to assist with TSA workloads, with most travelers welcoming the extra security. @ChrisPlanteShow @MatthewFoldi @dlippman @breccastoll @rebekazeljko

Heartbreaking tragedy—18-year-old Sheridan Gorman, full of life and promise, gunned down while walking with friends near her campus. Her accused killer, Jose Medina-Medina, a 25-year-old Venezuelan who entered illegally under Biden policies, had no business being here after prior arrests. Yet the Loyola Phoenix rushes to apologize for simply calling him what he is: an illegal immigrant, as confirmed by DHS. This is woke insanity, not journalism. "No human’s existence is illegal," they sniff, while erasing the real harm—the innocent American girl murdered because sanctuary policies and open borders let criminals roam free. Truth isn't "harmful language"; it's accountability. Illegal entry is a crime, and when it leads to bloodshed, we name it plainly. The blood of Sheridan cries out against radical leftist priorities that protect invaders over citizens. Under Trump, this madness ends—secure borders, deport criminals first, protect our young people. No more apologies for facts while families bury their daughters.

That is not a contradiction. It is an objection to God’s timing and moral government. Adam was created perfect, but perfection did not mean he was unable to choose; it meant he was fully sound as a moral agent. Sin entered when free creatures—first Satan, then Adam and Eve—chose rebellion. Much suffering now comes from human sin, Satan’s influence, inherited imperfection, and “time and unexpected events happen to them all,” not because Jehovah delights in evil. If God had simply excused Adam’s rebellion, He would have treated evil as trivial and made justice meaningless. Instead, He has allowed time to settle the issue raised in Eden: whether life can succeed apart from Him. That delay is not moral failure but patience, giving people opportunity to repent. Birth defects, disasters, and pain are effects of a ruined human condition and a damaged world, often worsened by human negligence. Jehovah remains good because He is not causing the evil, He is limiting its duration, and He has already provided the remedy through Christ, resurrection, judgment, and the end of wickedness.

@ChristianPub @TheSkepticWiz So, if so, the contradiction is that he knows everything but doesn't act on it as he could. All knowing and all powerful but not constantly good. That is a sin of omission, and hence a contradiction, and hence there is no such God.

If You Feel Lost Right Now, This Is for You Feeling lost does not mean your life is over. It usually means you have been looking for direction in the wrong place. Many people search their feelings, their past, the opinions of others, or the pressure of the moment. But none of those can give a stable path. Jehovah has already given direction in His Word. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Ps. 119:105). The issue is not whether guidance exists. The issue is whether you will follow it. When people feel lost, they often freeze, drift, or make desperate choices. Scripture points to a better response: pray for wisdom, open the Bible, repent where needed, and do the next right thing. You do not need to solve your whole future today. You need to obey what is clear today. That is how direction returns. A wicked world, human imperfection, and Satan create confusion, but they do not remove responsibility. Stop waiting for a sign or a feeling. Start with truth. The path forward begins when obedience begins.

That objection only works against a philosophical definition, not the biblical one. Scripture does not teach that Jehovah is literally spread through all space. It teaches that He dwells in the heavens (1 Kings 8:43; Matt. 6:9) while seeing and acting anywhere He chooses (Ps. 139:7–10; Heb. 4:13). So the issue is not “God is everywhere” in a material sense, but that nothing is beyond His knowledge, power, or reach. That is not a contradiction at all.

@ChristianPub @TheSkepticWiz For example, it is contradiction to assert God is everywhere when he evidently is not.
