“Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:22 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/psa.55.22.ESV
# Make Disciples of all Nations
“‘Go therefore and make disciples of all nations’” Matthew 28:18-20 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/mat.28.18-20.ESV
Does the seeming madness of things in the world today worry you? Pandemics, political authoritarianism, war, death.
There is a God that created the heavens and the earth. We humans are created in His image.
We are sinners, we have rebelled against Him, our Creator. Our rebellion has brought “all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice… envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness” to the world. Romans 1:29-31 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/rom.1.29-31.ESV
Therefore we justly deserve our due punishment of death and damnation, “as it is written: ‘None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.’” Romans 3:10-12 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/rom.3.10-12.ESV
But God is merciful and loving. Jesus is God the only begotten Son and He took our punishment upon Himself in our place. Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death and securing the hope of our salvation.
“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.” 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/1co.15.3-8.ESV
We need only believe it, confess our sins, proclaim Jesus is lord and savior, and we will be forgiven our sins and have life ever after! “because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”” Romans 10:9-11 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/rom.10.9-11.ESV
There is hope. Believe in Jesus! ““For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/jhn.3.16.ESV
It doesn’t matter who you’ve been or what you’ve done, God stands with arms wide open, ready to forgive you. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/1jn.1.9.ESV
“Ukrainian Christians worshipping at a metro station in Kiev. They sing of forgiveness, salvation, mercy, joy, peace, and the people of Ukraine. A biblical light in the gloom of possible war.”

Pretending to protect women by denying them the right to protect themselves.
“Any gun control is offensive, but this type of bill is particularly offensive because it uses the guise of protecting women to rip away both men’s and women’s ability to protect themselves.”

# Trained Men
“he led forth his trained men, born in his house, 318 of them” Genesis 14:14 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/gen.14.14.ESV
Christian Patriotism
Sermon by Andrew Fuller in 1803, at a time when the UK was being threatened with invasion by Napoleon. https://founders.org/2022/02/23/christian-patriotism/
“Though, as Christians, we are not of the world, and ought not to be conformed to it; yet, being in it, we are under various obligations to those about us. As husbands, wives, parents, children, masters, servants, &c., we cannot be insensible that others have a claim upon us, as well as we upon them… We know that the father of the faithful, who was only a sojourner in the land of Canaan, when his kinsman Lot with his family were taken captives by a body of plunderers, armed his trained servants, pursued the victors, and bravely recovered the spoil. It was on this occasion that Melchizedek blessed him, saying, ‘Blessed be Abraham of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: and blessed be the most high God, who hath delivered thine enemies into thine hand!’ … I allow that the sword is the last weapon to which we should have recourse. As individuals, it may be lawful, by this instrument, to defend ourselves or our families against the attacks of an assassin …” It is also not “unlawful to take up arms as members of civil society, when called upon to do so for the defence of our country… if it be right for the magistrate to bear the sword, and to use it upon evil-doers within the realm, it cannot be wrong to use it in repelling invaders from without; and if it be right on the part of the magistrate, it is right that the subject should assist him in it … there is another duty which we owe to our country; which is, That we pray to the Lord for it. It is supposed that religious people are a praying people.”
Colion Noir: Why The Mainstream Media Drastically Underreports Defensive Gun Use https://youtu.be/brWObNOU3i0
“Gun crimes dominate the mainstream media’s attention, while gun use in self-defense gets merely a tiny fraction of the headlines. Americans across the country have used guns to defend themselves and thwart crimes, but the reports often fly under the radar, and most people are unaware of how often guns are used in self-defense cases… In a typical year, Lott said that the media reports about 2,000 defensive gun use stories, but he added, “that is a dramatic undercount because the vast majority of successful self-defense cases don’t make the news.” Lott said there are about 2 million defensive gun uses per year, according to the average of 18 national surveys.”

# Tyranny, crime, and other evils
“The kings of the earth set themselves… against the Lord and against his Anointed… He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.” Psalm 2:1-4 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/psa.2.1-4.ESV
WEF- World Economic Forum
“If you haven’t been paying attention to what the World Economic Forum is and what they believe, you’d better start. It’s the most diabolical organization on the planet—and I’m not exaggerating.” Darrell B. Harrison https://twitter.com/d_b_harrison/status/1496477123816607748?s=21
“Canada’s banks are perfectly situated to help lead the creation of a federated digital ID system between government and the private sector. The World Economic Forum agrees.” ~ Neil Parmenter, President & CEO Canadian Bankers Association https://twitter.com/thececilcharles/status/1496459393604460544?s=21
“In 2020, Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic [Forum], co-authored a book with Thierry Malleret, titled ‘COVID 19: The Great Reset.’ The PDF of the book is available online for free.

‘COVID 19: The Great Reset.’ The PDF of the book is available online for free. Find it and read it—especially section 1.3.4, titled ‘The Social Contract.’ http://reparti.free.fr/schwab2020.pdf#page40
“Today, the fundamental reasons underpinning the loss of faith in our social contracts coalesce around issues of inequality, the ineffectiveness of most redistribution policies, a sense of exclusion and marginalization, and a general sentiment of unfairness… Although they are complex, the policy solutions do exist and broadly consist in adapting the welfare state to today’s world by empowering people and by responding to the demands for a fairer social contract… The pandemic will mark a turning point by accelerating this transition. It has crystallized the issue and made a return to the pre-pandemic status quo impossible… There is little doubt that it will be the catalyst for change and a source of critical momentum for the Great Reset.”
“Every evil thing they told us was coming is indeed coming. This is the turning of the world. These words are strong but true. They have used health matters to overhaul the West.

Canada On the Brink: Will Parliament Defend the Civil Liberties of Canadians or Will It Fail? https://craigacarter.substack.com/p/canada-on-the-brink
“Fierce debate is raging in the House of Commons on the Emergency Act as I type these words. I feel that I have to write something and post it even though it is unlikely to do any good except provide a witness to the evil events that have overtaken my country this week. Maybe my grandchildren will read this one day and know that their grandfather at least spoke out back when it was still possible to do so…”
“the government continues its power grab using ever more divisive, extremist, and hateful rhetoric describing peaceful protestors as Nazis, white supremacists, racists, terrorists, etc. They just pick whatever labels they think have emotive value to slap on their enemies, whose real offence is to challenge their power… To defend democracy, we have to steal your money… To defend democracy we have to steal your private information… To defend democracy we have to remove your ability to buy and sell… To defend democracy we have to make sure the working class knows its place…”

My Soul Among Lions // Why Do the Nations Rage? (Psalm 2) https://youtu.be/eD4pOW_rvOQ
“But you, O God, will cast them down into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in you.” Psalm 55:23 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/psa.55.23.ESV
Do not trust in politicians, they can not save you. When they die they return to the earth, and on that very day their plans perish! Psalm 146:3-4
Free healthcare, free education… Be honest, what are you really asking for? Aren’t you really asking, out of jealousy, for the government to steal what you covet from those that have more than you to give to you in the form of free education? Do not be fooled by the false hope and idolatry of globalism|socialism|communism!
8. You must not steal. (Exodus 20:15)
Do not take what is not yours. According to Martin Luther, “We must fear and love God, so that we will neither take our neighbor’s money or property, nor acquire it by fraud or by selling him poorly made products, but will help him improve and protect his property and career.”
10. You must not covet or desire your neighbor’s belongings.(Exodus 20:17)
Be happy with what God has provided for you and never want what belongs to others out of envy. “Have I looked with envy, jealousy or hatred toward the possessions, talents or achievements of others? Have I desired the downfall or loss of others out of evil intent that I might benefit? Have I grieved that God has bestowed greater blessings on others than on me?”
God warned Samuel about when we trust in and depend on earthly kings instead of God: “’This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons. . . He will take your daughters. . . He will take the best [of everything you have]. . . and you yourselves will become his slaves.’” – Paraphrase of 1 Samuel 8:7, 11-18
“Over and over, socialist demagogues have promised utopia, only to produce starvation on an extraordinary scale. In socialist Venezuela, its citizens have been reduced to eating cats, dogs and even pigeons!” Ron Paul
Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
Ephesians 4:28
For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is … covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Ephesians 5:5
Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you… For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies.

“The right to life is a good example of what legal historians refer to as an objective right: it is objective in the sense that it exists outside ourselves and is unalienable… The right to life imposes obligations: you must do everything in your power to preserve it.”
