“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. ” - 1 Timothy 2:1-2

From 2024, this piece I wrote for the .@AmReformer about women secret service agents bears significance on this conversation about women in combat roles. archive.americanreformer.org…
JUST IN: There’s reports circulating that one or two women are currently in BUD/S at Coronado, training alongside the usual classes of male candidates for a shot at the SEAL Trident. There are also reports of Admirals observing training early in Class 379, and they may be pushing for the women to move past 1st Phase. Since combat roles opened to women in 2016, a small number of female candidates have entered the pipeline or related screening, but none have ever completed BUD/S plus SEAL Qualification Training and earned the Trident. Every known attempt has ended in voluntary withdrawal, medical issues, or performance based attrition under the same uncompromising standards applied to everyone. BUD/S remains one of the highest attrition courses in the military, with typically 70%+ of all starters gone before graduation. So if the reports are accurate, these candidates are facing the identical physical and mental demands that have stopped every woman who has tried so far, with no public confirmation yet from Naval Special Warfare.

Elisabeth Elliot: "We cannot give our hearts to God and keep our bodies for ourselves." Christianity Today: "Elisabeth was bisexual." Remember, Satan hates the image of God and will do anything he can to assault it even through the mouths of those who claim the name of Christ.

Jesus shall reign where’er the sun Doth his successive journeys run; His Kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. To Him shall endless prayer be made. And princes throng to crown His head, His name like sweet perfume shall rise With every morning sacrifice. People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His name. Blessings abound where’er He reigns: The prisoner leaps to lose his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. Where He displays His healing power Death and the curse are known no more; In Him the tribes of Adam boast More blessings than their father lost. Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen.

"If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all; and the moment I did join it, if I had found one, I should have spoiled it, for it would not have been a perfect church after I had become a member of it. Still, imperfect as it is, it is the dearest place on earth to us." - Charles Spurgeon
