Jesus teaches that our effort is simply a response To being gifted life and forgiveness Jesus becomes the prize And growth becomes something you desire because of the grace we have received

Love this: The Charlie Kirk assassination is inspiring Americans who have been afraid to speak “My name is John. I have practically no online presence, and the reason for that is because I am scared to post things that I believe or really care about because I worry about what people will think of me. I am worried about missing out on opportunities because of an online footprint. Yesterday, a man died. Presumably because he believed the same things that I believe in. I am a conservative and more importantly, I'm a Christian. I believe wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, that he died from our sins and rose again, and that he is God. I know that in the grand scheme of things, I don't really matter. No one knows or even cares who I am. But If there's even one person who sees this and gains the courage to speak up themselves, that's why I'm making this. Just so that everybody knows that we're not alone.” This post got over 48k likes in 7 hours

What I’m about to share will make you sick. I know there is insatiable evil in this world, but this right here is unfathomable. On September 3, 2025, Dr. Gideon Polya and Professor Richard Hil calculated the total death toll for Gaza since October 7. My fingers are shaking as I’m writing this. Based on all the data collected, the death toll in Gaza is at least 680,000. But even worse, 380,000 are infants under five years of age, 99,000 children five or older, 63,000 women and 138,000 men. OH MY GOD!!! PLEASE END THIS SUFFERING!

Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

I am now thinking about this interview I saw with Francis Chan once where he talked about deliberately moving his family into an unsafe apartment building because he trusted that God would protect his young daughters. And man, that was pretty messed up.
