@ZacharyGarris Translations should be done by the church and we don't need new ones every few years just to keep pockets lined with money.

What a lousy translation by the ESV (taken from the RSV): “So may all your enemies perish, O LORD! But your *friends* be like the sun as he rises in his might.” (Judges 5:31) Every other English version follows the literal Hebrew, “those who love you”—not “your friends.”

@hzrdperryghost @Romans8Shaman Manifest Destiny 2.0 Why do you think George Washington told Betsy Ross to put STARS on the flag, if not because the Founders knew we’d one day rule the galaxy?

@SuitablePolitic Trump is publicly signaling that Israel is fighting its own war with different strategic objectives than his. Supports my thesis that one objective in Iran is to degrade Iran’s capability so much that there is no credible threat, taking away leverage Israel uses against the US.

Oh, this is brilliant lol. Brilliant. Iran tries to pressure countries like Qatar into leveraging a cessation of fire from the US and Trump turns the whole thing around. Leveraging Iran into abandoning their whole strategy. (Or watch their economy go up in flames!)
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump just THREATENED to blow the hell out of Iran's South Pars Gas Field "at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before" "Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran." "A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen." "Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility." "NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar - In which instance the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before." "I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction because of the long term implications that it will have on the future of Iran, but if Qatar’s LNG is again attacked, I will not hesitate to do so. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

I challenge President Trump today, to go the Capitol behind me, to call a joint address to Congress and explain why we are at war.

@ArmchairW Whether by intention or accident, this conflict could end up liberating the US from every dead-weight alliance that has been holding us back and dragging us into messes for 75 years.

Trump managing to get the US disentangled from Europe, Israel, and the Gulf Arabs all at once via a disastrous but relatively bloodless (for us anyways) war against Iran is either 5D Agarthan hyperchess or proof positive that God protects fools and the United States of America.

@ref_andrew Even more OPC to be chiefly concerned with those practical things that facilitate and assist public worship, leaving smells and bells of aesthetics as insignificant secondary matters. Respect. 🫡

@jaredksparks I agree that globalism on this side if glory is a product of Hell. It is excluded and made impossible by God’s curse at Babel.

@jaredksparks But will nations maintain the division inherent to distinct nations in a state of Perfect Unity in King Christ? Can you defend the distinction between nations as a product of nature equivalent to distinction between man and woman? What do you make of Psalm 87 and Zephaniah 3:6-9?

To hell with Globalism. Globalism can't win. The Atonement of Christ ensures it. Purchased nations and kings will be in the eternal state forever and ever and ever. Rev. 21:24 "By it's light the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it"

I think it’s possible President Trump doesn’t wait 1-2 weeks for the USS Tripoli to be in position to take Kharg Island. POTUS wants to get this wrapped up quickly. The 173rd Airborne Brigade based in Italy could get it done quickly.

@TanneriteCortez @ADRoblesMedia We ought not confuse human effort or T-levels with the gifts and graces God grants men whom He calls to ministry. That said, God ordinarily grants men healthy T-levels to equip them for ministry. Many of our fathers in the faith literally preached themselves to an early grave.

@TheJollyBrawler @willmrichardson God grants gifts and graces to the men He calls to ministry. It’s one thing to be Providentially hindered from service for a season; quite another to manifest a lack of gifts required for the office. Our fathers in the faith literally preached themselves to early graves.

@willmrichardson I understand it just fine. I just believe that Pastors should stop being weaker than the men who have grueling and heavy jobs in their congregations.

@SuitablePolitic @sethjlevy Vance for POTUS. 8 more years of Rubio as Secretary of State. Both have been fantastic in their roles. Vance in the White House and Rubio as chief diplomat will bring much-needed stability and continuity to our domestic and foreign policy in the next administration.

Given the rise of Rubio, I'm pretty curious. If you support Rubio over Vance, how come? This is a sounding board. You're not arguing with anyone, and you're allowed to feel differently 2 days from now. But simply to snapshot sentiment, where's your head at?

@ShawnMathis1972 I think the burnout rate is a symptom of many things, one of which is that too free church members pray for their pastors.

This. The push for sabbaticals likely reflects a too-high percentage of men who are not equipped for the ministry. I speak as one 20 years in by God's grace. And a few years as a RE and Deacon before that.
Zachary Garris@ZacharyGarris

Or hear me out—maybe pastors just need to toughen up. Yes ministry can be hard. But that’s just work, and most people don’t get sabbaticals. Practice the Sabbath, take a family day each week, and stop complaining.

@basedamericana A bare declaration can neither form nor defend a nation. Our Declaration of Independence derived such power only because the men who signed it risked life and fortune, and possessed the conviction and courage to spill the blood of tyrants and invaders, to protect their people.
