My sibling-in-Christ shared this scripture jewel with me this morn, backing up my citing Rom. 9:21... the same theme echoed from beginning to end.
I saw a post and thought "Man that is good. It's stated so well. Who wrote that?... and then I saw it was me. Honestly, I'm not that good. It must be that God enabled. I know that sounds like a brag- It's not. I have nothing to boast of. Anything good is Him. We're just vessels.
I just want to say that I'm very excited to see Stephen Miller as the new Chief of Staff. Many hate him, but I appreciate his blunt honesty (which is seldom seen in politics). Even if I disagree on an issue, I will take frankness over disingenuous pandering any day.
Inconvenient Truth:
Racism isn't just treating someone badly based on race.
Racism is treating someone DIFFERENTLY based on race.
It's every bit as racist to give advantage based on race as it is to punish based on race.
DEI is racism, and you don't fix racism with more racism.
POTUS likes to say "The best is yet to come."
I'm not sure that's true of America right now.
But you can say that with absolute confidence as Gods adopted child.
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor heart imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him." - 1Cor. 2:9
I don't trust "all-knowing" Christians who never learn anything new or change their mind on anything. That well is far too deep for any one lifetime, and if one goes years without discovering anything new/exciting or getting more clarity on something, there's a problem.
From a convo w/ a brother ( didn't want to re-type )
"If God doth not actually govern it (the world), it is either because He cannot, or because He will not" - S. Charnock
Neither true... thus we assert God providentially governs the world, ordaining all things. ( Rom.11:36, Dan.4:35, Isa.46:9-10, Eph.1:11, Ps.135:6, Prov.16:33..)
Great advice for Christians with young daughters...
Fathers, telling a young male taking your daughter out on a date that you’ll “be on the front porch polishing your gun until they get back” does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to deter him from making the moves on her.
Guys would die for that. Tired threats aren’t fatherhood, it’s laziness cloaked in bravado.
When it comes to our daughters, men: be their biggest source of protection and care, remind them of their worth in the eyes of their Creator, invest your time in them (they are your dreams now), pray mightily with & for them, study the Word with & in front of them, & love her/their mama tenaciously so they see who is & is not worthy of their love.
I'm sure of a few things
** My theology is biblical/correct on the crucial things- (Salvific issues).
** My assurance of salvation.
On both, I honestly believe the entire world could tell me I'm wrong, and I would not waver.
This is part of what I think He meant by "free indeed".
The more certain a "Christian" is that God didn't choose them before the foundation but instead, they freely chose God, the more certain I am that they got the first part of that correct.
Someone rebuked P. Washer (and JMac) for causing people to doubt assurance of salvation... and while they may do that, it's with good reason.
Here's the deal- If ANYONE can shake your faith in what the Holy Spirit has testified to you about (Rom 8:16), you had no true assurance.
This! This right here...
The Calvinist is the man who has seen God, and is filled on the one hand with a sense of his own unworthiness…and much more as a sinner, and on the other with adoring wonder that nevertheless this God is a God who receives sinners.

I'm a very analytical person... but I quickly realized how annoying analytical people can be, so I learned to throttle it and largely keep it to myself. Thus, my annoyance rate has been reduced by 43.7% if my calculations are correct.🙂
Has anybody checked on Provisionists lately? They've been strangely absent. It seems like they took their ball and went home shortly after D'Souza's embarrasing debate. Don't get me wrong- my X is better w/o them in it, but I wonder if Flowers ordered a cease and desist.
Christian- Some truths to remember...
This is not your home.
You're just passing through.
This life is but a vapor compared to eternity.
The following is true-
MAGA dying.
Darline never a good idea.
Trump should've stayed out of SC politics.
Trump should've finished off Iran quickly.
It's the economy stupid.
People vote pocketbooks.
Vance (and Rubio) chances to be next Prez.? - MUCH lower now.
DeSantis is the man.
A brother recently commented on something with the popular phrase "It is what it is." and it got me thinking. Going forward I will be expressing that same sentiment as -
It is what it is because God ordained it." ...
Sure, it's longer and not as catchy, but way more accurate.🙂
True- Christ' teachings re man is mostly about weakness, submission, bearing persecution, and sacrifice. When speaking of power, our Lord was almost exclusively referencing God alone.
