The reason so many people are unhappy is that they are trying to fill a spiritual void by material means. You can't cure bi polar disorder by eating a Big Mac.
Bob Jones Sr. "It is never right to do wrong in order to get a chance to do right."
John Calvin, speaking of "evils."
"Scripture shows Him (God) not only willing, but the author of them." (Institutes, Book 1, chapter 17, paragraph 11)
According to some defenders of tyrants, apparently, someone pointing a loaded gun at you is not an "imminent threat" until they pull the trigger.
(At which point it's a bit late to protect yourself.)
Killing bad people is sadly necessary.
Solomon had a completely peaceful reign. He waged no wars and fought no battles.
But he had to kill Joab, Adonijah and Shimei first.
After he did, "... the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon."
If deliberately provoking police to shoot one's self is called "suicide by cop," then shouldn't we refer to abortion and assisted suicide as "murder by doctor?"
Google defines aborticide as: "The act of destroying a fetus in the womb..." while "abortion" refers to either a spontaneous or induced termination of pregnancy.
I wonder why no one uses the term aborticide?
Maybe it sounds too much like what it is: homicide.
The average waiting period for cataract surgery in Canada is 112 days, knee replacement 182 days, back surgery, 349 days.
But same day assisted suicide is now available.
Our "civilized neighbors to the North" have clear priorities.
Pray for revival: there and here.
Since radical Islamists, trying to force their culture on others, consider dogs unclean and don't want to live near them, maybe we should all..... buy a dog? 🙂
The Lord Jesus has always existed. He has always been God. He never stopped being God. He always will be God.
To deny any of these truths is to deny the Diety of Christ
My dad often said: "Some people just don't understand anything except a good swift kick in the seat of the pants." May the Lord help us not to be among that number.
Mainstream media: a collection of vapid individuals who breathlessly explain how little they know while urging us to "stay tuned" to hear the same empty message the next hour. (With a different host. But the same guests.)
Ironic that the same screeching liberals who are alarmed that ICE agents are "attacking" criminal illegals were silent when those same illegals actually were attacking (legal) U.S. citizens.
