Too Preposterous to Be True?
Understanding what Satan is attempting to accomplish and will be allowed to accomplish through those sold out to him, sets us free from the worry that fear can create. We are not meant to live forever in this life. The fact that God physically expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden so that they could not eat of the tree of life after sinning proves that He doesn’t want us to live eternally in this life, in our sin. We will all pass from this life to the next and as Christians will be given immortal bodies forever free from sin. It will be then that we will live forever as He originally intended.
Technocratic Depravity
Unfortunately, this push for the USA’s involvement appears simply meant to break our economy and destroy our power. The EU wants to be top dog, according to Martin Armstrong. They ultimately want to bring back the old Roman Empire in a newer form so that they can usher in the type of truly global government they want to exist.
Keeping Perspective
If you add to this the number of times Trump has already said he thinks he can have a third term as President under some past obscure act and it’s easy to see how things might fall in place. Things like this tend to keep people distracted and on edge. Those who love Trump beyond measure would love a third term, while those who hate him, don’t even want this current term. At some point, it seems best for me to just let things like this go so that it does not become all-consuming.
Money Laundering
It’s starting to look like one huge money laundering scheme, perpetrated by the Biden Administration. Who knows, but it may go all the way back to Obama and before? Just how long American taxpayer dollars have been continually doled out on the most egregious things is anyone’s guess.

Sodom, Vaccines, Wokeness and NAR
Of course, not all archaeologists agree that the area was the ancient site known as Sodom. It must be remembered that many to most archaeologists are atheists or at least agnostics. They claim to simply pursue the science, yet when things point to the Bible, they often deny any and all connections. At most, what some may do is state that Tall el Hamman occurred and the story was passed down to successive generations and then eventually someone wrote it down and the narrative was picked up by the writers of the Bible and included in the text, while changing significant points to make it more in line with the purpose of the Bible.

DOGE Finds the Waste
Does Musk eventually want to take down the US Treasury and replace it with his own private company that will charge a fee for every transaction? Smartest Guy seems to think so and because Musk has talked about his “everything” app that will include X and everything else he creates, why wouldn’t Musk want to do that if he could?
Smartest Guy has a few words of warning and I think we best take notice. At the very least, maybe we should be distancing ourselves from Musk’s products: X, his cars, his AI, his neural-link, his robots. The more we involve ourselves in what he’s doing, the more we get caught up in what may turn out to be a critical snare.
One of the Great Nuancers
But nuancing is one excellent way to hide actual truth, by dressing it up as something it’s not. Off the top of my head, I can think of numerous leaders within Christendom who routinely nuance things. It makes them sound very intellectual and who doesn’t like to listen to an intellectual? Of course, Jesus was the most intelligent and intellectual of all, yet aside from the fact that He often presented truth in parabolic form, He also spoke plainly. I do not consider Jesus to be a nuancer. He was not cunning, crafty or subtle in His approach to people and most certainly not where God’s Word was concerned. He spoke the truth and only the truth. He didn’t soft soap it or cunningly attempt to hide the often brashness of God’s Word. He spoke truth and let the chips fall where they might.
Why We Should Look Up
Looking up is the duty of every believer, to keep us from getting so bound up in and distracted by this world’s offerings. Paul, as he realized his physical death was approaching, noted to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:8, “Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.” (ESV)

God Didn’t Whisper
Having said all that, it is important to also state that sin is sin. God hates all of it. Yet, He seems to have noted in Scripture that certain sins create more of a problem and fallout and are the result of the way a person thinks and designs their life. This thinking stems from a position of atheism that allows and encourages people to live as they wish. They in essence become a law unto themselves and encourage others to do the same. Too many within the visible Church today are trying to embrace people who really have no intention of seeing a need to submit to God allowing Him to change their behavior.

Toxic Empathy
Because of the common sense changes Trump wants to bring to America, I have arrived to the point where I simply don’t care if my hat, my shirt, my actions or my words offends anyone on the Left. It’s really time for Christians to take a stand.
If you stop to consider it, the phrase toxic empathy is actually very accurate. It is what the Left has used to silence Christians and conservatives. Their “empathy” is truly toxic because it violates God’s laws and works against the natural order.
We need to call that out and be willing to stand up for what is right, regardless of the Left’s accusations or attempts to bully us.
