Another #FailedRapturePrediction When are intelligent folk going to question the faulty system of Dispensational Theology and its pretrib rapture that keep giving us all these bad rapture predictions? It’s a black eye on the body of Christ! #NoManKnowsDayHour

People who are tone deaf, should not wear ear buds and sing loudly with your music at the gym. I’m going to throw a dumbell at the mirror in front of him if he doesn’t stop this assault on my ears. 🤮 #intonation #notaclue #noEQ #selfawareness

We have a constitutional floor for the age a natural-born citizen can run for POTUS. It’s 35. We should consider a constitutional ceiling of 75. We recognize lack of maturity on front end. It’s time we recognize cognitive decline on the latter. That’s a 40 yr span to run.

As long as America continues to worship guns, the idol will continue to require bloody sacrifices! Almighty God help us! #CommonSenseGunLaws

Compassion is not compromise. Otherwise, how could God have compassion for ANY of us? “The LORD is full of compassion and mercy! (Psa. 103:8) As His representatives, shouldn’t we be too? #ThinkAboutIt

Every one of the LGBTQ lives lost in the the senseless Colorado club shooting was “made in the image of God!” I pray for their families and friends. To my LGBTQ friends - I love you and stand with you. This is WRONG. #JesusDoesNotApprove #STOPtheHATE
We’ve said for years, it’s a HEART problem, not GUN problem. The Bible informs me that all people have the same propensity for sin, YET this problem is occurring nowhere else like it is in the US. Maybe it’s time we’re willing to ask some hard questions about our GUN WORSHIP!

Imagine a gym member rarely going, only to be critical. Unwilling to give time to fitness goals - always excuses; never take advantage of free classes; fuss about paying dues & then say this gym isn’t meeting my needs. Silly huh? Now apply that to church! #ThinkaboutIt

If you're not willing to grow, no one can help you. If you're determined to grow, no one can stop you!
Scratching my head at folk who preach constant distrust of mainstream media, then repost & defend to the teeth the most pernicious, obnoxiously evil propaganda reposted by someone they’ve never met, but TRUST because they hate the same people. It’s on BOTH SIDES of the spectrum!

When churches get the Gospel wrong, they produce consumers of Jesus' benefits rather than disciples of Jesus' life!

It is jarring, how pathologically narcissistic this statement is, at the death of Colin Powell.
So how does this statement from the former President of the United States make you feel as an American?

Will someone please inform the "prophets" who are calling for a revolution in relation to government that true prophets are concerned about the revolution of the character of each human being regardless of political affiliations. That takes the Cross, and God's love, not hate.

It is a legal requirement in the U.S. that the person serving as POTUS, be a minimum age of 35 years. I think it’s time to set a maximum of 75 years. Inexperience & lack of wisdom are among reasons on the front end. It’s time to recognize the obvious issues on the latter end.

2/2 This is both laughable & ridiculous. It’s almost as bad as the dispensationalist’s missed “rapture” predictions. They just keep changing and adjusting the dates. Sooner or later, folk will wake up and start questioning the system of thinking that’s produced the nonsense!!
1/2 Like the proverbial carrot on stick hanging in front of horse, keeps moving, so does Trump’s mysterious reinstatement date. A couple of weeks turned in February to a March inauguration which has passed & has now moved to August. #fantasypolitics
