From American Renewal Project, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” Hosea 4:6 warns. America’s pulpits require a deep understanding of scriptural operation if secularism is to be thoroughly overthrown in the public square. God’s people are “destroyed” not because He has lost His love for them, but because they have rejected “knowledge of God, His law, His menaces, His providences, and government of the world.”2
When less than 3% of pastors are willing to apply Biblical standards to today's cultural issues it is certainly a sad day for Christianity. But when 97% of CONGREGATIONS accept this lack of reverential commitment from their clergy, it proves that true discipleship is virtually non-existent in today's church.
We are called to a personal relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ. In Matthew 10, He says, "36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Please consider the meaning of verse 36, not as temporal foes, but as Jesus meant it: the roadblock between believing Jesus in true discipleship, and believing in Jesus and a faith without the work of picking up your cross and following HIM!

From American Renewal Project Newsletter, June 18, "Gillibrand has championed abortion rights by squaring her support through her belief in ‘free will, a core tenet of Christianity.’”
Speaking of 'free will', I'll ask you, dear reader, to rub a few brain cells together and consider two definitions:
First, Free will is the ability to choose any at all of the moral options offered in a given situation.
Second: Free agency is the ability to choose your actions based upon the strongest inclinations and desires of the moment.
Many Christians believe people have free will, when in point of fact people are free agents. Many Christians see no reason to believe there is any difference. Free will-free agency, a distinction without a difference.
The difference lies between choosing the morality of your action and the action itself. God alone decided what is sinful. He did that before the foundation of the world. Choosing what you do, your actions, does not make them either pleasing to God or sinful. Your choice as a free agent is pretty straight forward--to sin, or not to sin. You are God's agent in this world. How you represent Him is pretty much up to you, but represent him you do because you were created in His image. Please let that sink in for a while, then decide how you are doing.
Free will is not really a core tenet of Christianity. Free agency is! Or at least it should be!

If AOC's 12 years to EOTW was just a joke and anyone with more intelligence than a sea sponge should know that, doesn't that mean that her Green New Deal is just as ludicrous and anyone with more intelligence than a sea sponge should know THAT? I mean it was the threat of the end of the world in 12 years that she used to prove that the Green New Deal was an absolute necessity, wasn't it?

Omar said, after receiving death threats over her comments concerning 9/11, there is no excuse for that, we are all Americans. Well there are at least 2 primary definitions of what an American is: The definition we use is 'one who loves and is invested in what the Founders envisioned, a nation where freedom is restrained only by government of self and the responsibility we have to God and each other.
The definition she and all of her ilk is: a nation of forced equality where the elite who govern decide what is right and who must bow down, nominal equality just some more equal than others! They want a nation where government replaces God and truth is what they say it is.
You, dear reader, must decide which Definition of American you will pass on to your children. The difference could not be more stark. History will reveal the truth of your choice more clearly than mere words ever could.
