Do you you understand the 'why'? My sin (and yours) separates us from a holy God. The penalty for our is death (it's serious business). The point of Christ's sacrifice is that He paid the penalty - in our place - as a GIFT to us. We simply need to accept his gift - by faith.

What I came here to say. IMHO, too many in the SO "community" thrived on belittling and down-voting everyone they could.

Homeschoolers generally outperform public school students. The public school system is failing across the country. And the left's response is to mock parents who choose to educate their own children and question their motives for wanting to be with their kids.

Most homeschoolers just don't want their Lily white kids to go to school with poor and black children. Then they come on here and brag about Little Johnny. Like we give a fuck about Little Johnny. Stfu

That doesn't explain why homeschooling is increasing in black households.

🚨 WOW! The father of Todd Beamer — the Flight 93 HERO who famously said "LET'S ROLL" on 9/11 — just took the stage at Trump's Michigan rally and TORCHED Abdul El-Sayed, AOC, and the entire socialist squad "Let them take their energy and their money, go buy an island someplace and try that socialism thing SOMEWHERE ELSE!" "They might even take Comrade AOC with them. They might take the COMRADES of the squad with them." Mr. Beamer wanted to make clear: WE CAN NEVER FORGET ABOUT 9/11 BY ELECTING ISLAMISTS LIKE ABDUL. Before he left the stage, Mr. Beamer led the whole crowd in Todd's famous last words: "One three! One, two, three — LET'S ROLL!" 🇺🇸

If Democrats get power, they will: 1. Lawfare Trump officials; 2. Pack SCOTUS; 3. Go after Elon, SpaceX, and Tesla--then billionaires, then millionaires; 4. Crush free speech; 5. Make voter ID illegal; 6. Flood the country with illegals. It sounds insane. It *is* insane.

You almost have to laugh, but then you remember he’s the President of the United States. Talking about Minaj’s backside might get a laugh, but what message does it send to the kids and teenagers watching? The leader of the free world should set an example, not leave parents wondering where presidential dignity went. 🧐🤔

Dems celebrate when scantily clad, cross-dressing males dance and read to children. Dems teach impressionable children they might have been born in the wrong body. Dems encourage kids to consume porn. Please, spare us the pearl-clutching.

Do not treat people as fragile. This dehumanizes them. People are not objects. People are complicated. Some very injured. Others lost. Others disabled. All of them are still strong and capable. See the strengths and resilience in people if you love them.

It's a simple choice. Vote the commie who will sell you out to Islam. Vote the Hindu who will sell your jobs out to H1bs and add more students from India into your universities than you have ever seen before. I'd go with the commie this time, though.

The Department of Justice does not seek to stop any ballot from being cast or to stop the certification of Alaska's election. This litigation seeks to ensure that after Alaskans cast their ballots, they are preserved in a manner so that only Alaska's governing officials have the information necessary to make a determination as to whether Alaskan voters were confused or mislead. The lawsuit was written by Justice Department attorneys and the Department did not coordinate with any campaign or candidate, but rather relied solely on federal law.

For years, loud commentators on Japanese television attacked the U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey. Every time the aircraft flew in Okinawa, protesters held signs calling it dangerous and unwanted. The Marines said nothing. They just maintained their aircraft. Then, on April 16, 2016, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake tore open the earth in Kumamoto. Landslides buried the mountain highways. The great Aso Ohashi bridge fell into the gorge. Thousands of families in the mountain village of Minamiaso were cut off without water, food, or diapers for their babies. Normal cargo planes could not land there. Trucks could not get through. Within hours, U.S. Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265, the Dragons, launched their MV-22 Ospreys from Okinawa to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni and straight into the disaster zone. An Osprey flies twice as fast as a helicopter and lands vertically on a patch of grass. When the twin rotors thundered over the broken peaks of Mount Aso and touched down in Minamiaso, young Marines sprinted down the ramp carrying twenty tons of water, blankets, and hot food on their shoulders. On the ground below, Japanese survivors who had been told to fear that aircraft stood in the mud waving their hands and holding up cardboard signs that read: "THANK YOU OSPREY." In the way of the warrior, you never waste breath arguing with critics in peacetime. You simply show up through the clouds when the bridge is gone.

A marriage counselor once told my wife the problem was "communication." Twelve sessions on a couch every Tuesday afternoon. She learned to "use I statements," and I learned to "validate her feelings." We were still miserable. You know what fixed my marriage? I stopped talking and started doing. I woke up before her at 5 AM and made the coffee without announcing it. I handled the dishes in the sink without asking for credit, and I took the kids out the door so she could rest without calling it "babysitting." Three weeks with no conversations about our problems, no therapy homework, and no processing, just a man who finally acted like he gave a damn about his own house. She didn't say anything at first. Then one morning at the kitchen counter she looked at me like she hadn't looked at me in years, not with love, but with surprise, because she'd forgotten I could show up. The counselor told us to talk more, when what we needed was for me to shut up and move. "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth." (1 John 3:18 KJV) Most marriages don't die from a lack of words. They die from a lack of action. Your wife doesn't need another conversation tonight. She needs to see you in the kitchen at 5 AM tomorrow, not because she asked, but because you finally woke up.

Showing up at home helps, but silence can leave the reasons for the resentment untouched.

Nowhere did he say there was only silence. I believe the point is simple - there is a time to talk, and there is a time to *do*.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Dumpsters on fire off the shoulder of Orion Street. I watched as I-beams littered the construction site near the Tannhäuser Gated Community. All those moments will be lost in time, like droplets from a refreshing water hose. Time to go.................... the street lights are on.

Your Bible doesn't say fight sexual immorality. It says flee. Run. Not stand your ground. Not manage it. Not install an accountability app and white-knuckle through another Tuesday night. Flee. "Flee fornication." 1 Corinthians 6:18 You know why God didn't say fight? Because the men who tried to fight it are the same men who lost everything. Samson could kill a lion with his bare hands. Rip city gates off their hinges. Slaughter a thousand men with a jawbone. He couldn't say no to Delilah. She had his head shaved while he slept on her knees. The strongest man who ever lived ended up blind, chained, grinding grain like an animal. David killed Goliath as a teenager. Wrote the Psalms. God called him "a man after mine own heart." He saw a woman bathing and couldn't look away. Nine months later he'd committed adultery, murdered her husband, and buried a son. Solomon asked God for wisdom and got more than any man in history. Seven hundred wives. Three hundred concubines. They turned his heart after other gods. The wisest man who ever lived died an idolater. The strongest fell. The wisest fell. The man after God's own heart fell. "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." 1 Corinthians 10:12 You're not stronger than Samson. You're not wiser than Solomon. You're not closer to God's heart than David. Stop fighting. Start running.

🚨 WOW: Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado just sent a warning straight to American voters. Asked what Americans should know about socialism heading into the midterms, she said: "Communism, socialism. It brings misery, violence, separation and oppression. And once you lose your freedom, once you lose democracy, it's so hard to gain it back." Venezuela was once one of the richest countries in Latin America. Socialism wrecked it. Now people there dig through trash to eat. She said to ask any Venezuelan how their country was "deceived." Listen to her.  Free stuff always comes with a price.

We don't need 100% of Black America to reject the DEM-O-CRAZIES. A 30% shift away from "Vote Blue No Matter Who" will lock the DEMS out of national power forever! #LFG
Fed-up New Yorker has had enough: “If New York is the future for America, it’s in fucking trouble. There’s no such thing as, like, black America, white America. It’s immigrants’ America.” This is the direct result of Democratic policies, and cities across the country under Democratic leadership are grappling with the same problem.

"Don't send the young. Send us." Fukushima, 2011. The reactors were melting. A 72-year-old grandfather named Yasuteru Yamada made a call. 700 grandfathers answered. Their logic was devastating: "Radiation takes 30 years to kill. We'll be dead anyway. Our grandchildren won't." Old lives for young futures. A shield made of grandfathers. They volunteered to walk into lethal poison so their grandkids would never have to. This is who we are. Japanese elders ready to die, so the next generation can live.
