Powerful sermon past Sabbath. @DwightKNelson 🙏🙏
Can you get there from here? That’s what people in my faith community have been asking me. I.e., is this pandemic a harbinger of the Big One—the return of Jesus? Yesterday on Facebook Live we wrestled for the answer. Go 30 minutes into the video. . m.facebook.com/pioneermemori…

CNN obtained a tape of Trump at a closed-door fundraiser. He said this about China's president: "He's now president for life. President for life. And he's great. And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll give that a shot some day." cnn.com/2018/03/03/politics/…

Sebastien Braxton (@anchoraimpara), answers an intriguing question: Why didn't God create the entire world in a moment, when He could have? Why take 6 days? vimeo.com/254514319

Job never saw why he suffered, but he saw God, and that was enough.

It is for gain & not loss that most US politicians profess Christianity. #motivesmatter

We may not see the ultimate fruition of God's promises, that the actualization of it might remain by faith & not by sight.

Being transparent means you divulge the info before you're caught.
