I took a walk to clear my head tonight. I was looking up at the stars and I was reminded of something that my frustration would not see. The same God who hung the beautiful, diamond-like stars that twinkle without a care each night is the same God who is not surprised by anything on this planet or in this nation. He who hung the stars, holds and cares for me and you.
Check her work out! We have to get back to nuance. This vid is from 2020.
God doesn't save you from responsibility and the consequences of your actions. He is not obligated to do that. He can't be manipulated.
I refuse to rejoice with evil, people's suffering, and pain. Love does not do that.
This is what the Lord says: "Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.....But if you do not obey these commands, declares the Lord, I swear by myself that this palace will become a ruin."
Jeremiah 22:3 , 5 NIV
So too can a nation become a ruin.
Jeremiah 22:3 , 5 NIV
So too can a nation become a ruin.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
I have a short, true story to tell you:
I've been delivering food this summer to high risk families on Tuesday evenings. I've been delivering this food with a black gentleman who's an army veteran, an Army Ranger actually. I have a lot of respect for this man both for that reason, and the fact that he's had to put up with the sin of racism all of his life in one way or another. Yet, he hasn't let it define him.
I had to take a bit of an absence from delivering food because I had to work the last few weeks. He thought he had done something to me which he hadn't of course. It never crossed my mind that he would think that. He told me tonight I was fun to work with because he honestly thought I wouldn't want to ride with him because that's been his experience. The next time you don't think racism affects somebody or that it doesn't exist, think again. It is one of the most vial, detestable things on this planet. It has no place in the Kingdom and is about as far from the Spirit of Jesus as you can get. It is a poison of the heart.
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23

My friend told me the other day all things will be shaken. I believe that. I also believe we haven't even seen the beginning yet.

I've held off and watched. Now it is time to speak. The house passed a bill to codify gay marriage. For whatever reason, and there may be many in their eyes, they felt that issue was at stake. Justice Thomas's opinion probably didn't help after SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade. That's another discussion for another time.
What this means for Christians:
1) First and foremost, King Jesus didn't fall off His throne because the US House of Representatives passed a bill. He's not affected nor changed by what they do nor by midterm elections and the virtue signaling from either side.
2) The world is going to world. I don't expect anything different.
3) We get to be grace, love, and truth to people, no matter who they married. That's it, that's the requirement.
