Fellow Senators, friends, colleagues, allies, adversaries, I stand before you this morning with a heavy heart. I've spent my life in this Chamber. I came here as a child. And as I look around me now, I realize that I have almost no memories that pre-date my arrival, and few bonds of affection that cleave so tightly. Through these many years, I believe I have served my constituents honorably and upheld our code of conduct. This Chamber is a cauldron of opinions, and we've certainly all had our patience and tempers tested in pursuit of our ideals. Disagree as we might, I am hopeful that those of you who know me will vouch for my credibility in the days to come. I stand this morning with a difficult message. I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest. This Chamber's hold on the truth was finally lost on the Ghorman Plaza. What took place yesterday, what happened yesterday on Ghorman, was unprovoked genocide! Yes! Genocide! And that truth has been exiled from this Chamber! And the monster screaming the loudest? The monster we've helped create? The monster who will come for us all soon enough ... is Emperor Palpatine! #Andor #Empire #Truth #Deception #Evil #Vulnerable #StarWars #Senate #Speech #MonMothma #DeathOfTruth

What is the purpose of dating? For a follower of Christ, the answer is simple. The only purpose of dating is to find the person you intend to marry. I will say it again: The only reason for a Christian to go on a date it to find the person you are going to marry. Be clear about your expectations when going on a date. Communicate these to the other person. If they are not of the same mind, then don't go. If you are not looking for a mate, don't date. The only thing that a date is designed to do is lead to greater levels of intimacy. If you have determined that the person in question is not spouse material, do not continue to date them. If the decision is made during date, cut it short if possible. There is no reason to get more intimate with a person you are not going to marry. Getting more intimate leads to activities that are forbidden to unmarried people. Who should you marry? There are a few criteria that should disqualify a potential mate. • First, you must God first. Before yourself, before your family, before your • friends, before everything. • They must be of the same faith. • They must God first. Before themself, before their family, before their friends, before everything. • They should agree to holding each other accountable. • They should be chaste; not having sex, with anyone (including you). • They should have similar political views. • They should have similar values. • They should desire the same thing as far as having or not having children (and the number). • They should be a sane, sober moral, prudent person. • They should have their finances in order. • They should be on good terms with and honoring their parents. • They should always act honorably and treat you with respect. • They should be quick to listen and slow to anger. • Again, they Must put God first. "Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people. “Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord. “And do not touch what is unclean; And I will welcome you. “And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty." " II Corinthians 6:14-18 "This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; " James 1:19 Honor god in all that you do and He will bless you. Honor God with your relationships and He will bless your relationships. Honor God with all your decisions...

My wife grew up pentacostal. I don't have a problem with most of their beliefs, but the speaking in tongues thing still makes me uneasy. Speaking in tongues is biblical, and I have no doubt it happens still today, but there are surely many people faking the gift. Also being "slain in the spirit" is problematic to me as I see no biblical basis for it.

Si, which one are you? The bear? The raccoon?

Indeed, love is a verb. What we model for our children becomes their initial foundation for their understanding of God's love for us. When you honor God and honor your spouse you are training your children how they should act. Do not think that your actions go unnoticed. We are very perceptive, especially in those formative years. Things that you do not think important are often the things that grab the attention of your children. You are not just training them in a formal sense by going to church or telling them explicitly what you believe. You are training them by the every day actions you take. You are training them when they see how you behave towards your spouse. You are training them by what they see when you don't know you are being watched. Everything that you do is training them. In light of this, honor God in everything you do, honor your vows to him, and honor your vows to your spouse. "These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up." Deuteronomy 6:6-7 "Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 "In all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified, sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us." Titus 2:7-8 https://sites.google.com/view/voluntaryist-patriot/home/my-faith/commitment-vs-convenience

I am referring to the distinct entity known as Satan (the devil), the father of lies, the accuser who will face judgement by God in the end. I am not referring to an idea or a specific struggle for an individual.

Do you think Satan believes he can win? I mean overall. Is he playing to win or just trying to take as any with hi as he can out of spite? #Satan #God #Battle #Sin #Bible #Heaven #Hell #Devil #EvilOne

COMMITMENT vs CONV ENIENCE In this world, there are few things more important than your marriage. I take you to be my wife (husband), to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I pledge you my faith. "What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” (Matthew 19:6) In the western world we have lost sight of the gravitas of vows made before God and Man. After our devotion to God, only devotion to our spouse ranks higher. How seriously we regard the latter illuminates our devotion to the former. We pledge ourselves to a three way covenant between ourselves, our spouses, and God. Honoring that vow is critical to our personal faith, to the continuance of our family's faith, and our societal strength. 1) What we model for our spouse confirms our commitment to God and, as a consequence, to him or her. "If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or takes an oath to put himself under an obligation, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth." Numbers 30:2 "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. So husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself." Ephesians 5:25-28 "Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." Titus 2:3-5 When we keep our vows to God it reaffirms our character to ourselves and to our spouses. It shows we can be trusted. It shows our commitment. It demonstrates submission to God and shows what our priorities are. Keeping our vows to God helps encourage our spouse to do the same. "And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart." Ecclesiastes 4:12 Everything we do, we do out of Love; love for God and love for each other. "Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 2) What we model for our children becomes their initial foundation for their understanding of God's love for us. "These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up." Deuteronomy 6:6-7 "Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 "In all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified, sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us." Titus 2:7-8 When you honor God and honor your spouse you are training your children how they should act. Do not think that your actions go unnoticed. We are very perceptive, especially in those formative years. Things that you do not think important are often the things that grab the attention of your children. You are not just training them in a formal sense by going to church or telling them explicitly what you believe. You are training them by the every day actions you take. You are training them when they see how you behave towards your spouse. You are training them by what they see when you don't know you are being watched. Everything that you do is training them. In light of this, honor God in everything you do, honor your vows to him, and honor your vows to your spouse. 3) What we model for the community shows them what we believe better than any words ever could. "The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:9 "Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation." 1 Peter 2:12 "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16 We shape the world we live in. We shape it physically by building and demolishing things in the environment, by planting and harvesting the fields, and any number of other actions we take. We change the world just by living in it. We also shape the world by what we say and the values we hold. If we value honesty and integrity, then we need to BE honest and have integrity. If we want a society that values traditional values, then we must demonstrate those values ourselves. If honor is important and vows are to be kept, then be the example and light the way. If you love God, then show that love to the world. Our country has fallen away from all of these things over the long years since it's founding. Many of the things that were admirable about our country have been dismantled and discarded at the prompting of the evil one. We need to return to our roots. We need to return to Honor. We need to honor God. #Marriage #Vows #Commitment #Faithful #Covenant #Honor #BiblicalMarriage #Devotion #ChristianValues #Family #Faith #Love #LoveIsPatient #ReturnToHonor #TraditionalValues #GodlyLiving #Integrity #HonorGod

THE WORLD HONORS CHARLIE KIRK The memorial service for Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA who was assassinated on September 10, 2025, is taking place today at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The event, hosted by Turning Point USA, began at 11 a.m. local time and features speeches from President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other prominent figures including Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, and Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk. It has drawn a massive crowd, with live updates indicating the stadium reached full capacity early, and significant overflow attendance outside. Attendance Estimate Based on real-time reports from the event: Inside the stadium: Approximately 63,400 people, as the venue's capacity for large events was fully utilized (seats were pre-covered with Kirk-themed posters, and every available spot filled quickly). Overflow areas: An additional 19,000 in nearby designated zones, per security and event logistics. Total estimated attendance: Over 82,000, with some sources citing up to 100,000+ including external gatherings and last-minute arrivals. Earlier projections anticipated tens of thousands, but turnout exceeded expectations, leading to a Super Bowl-level security perimeter. The service is being live-streamed on platforms like YouTube (with over 500,000 concurrent viewers reported) and broadcast on networks including Fox News, emphasizing Kirk's legacy in conservative activism. No major disruptions have been reported, though a "free speech zone" was set up for potential protesters. #CharlieKirk #MemorialService https://www.youtube.com/live/n_rtA4C-dVM

The most believable lies contain elements of truth. I was not the originator of the exclusivity claim. I just relayed it to whoever reads this post. "Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." John 14:6 There are many things that are exclusive in the world and in religion. For example, you can not both be in Los Angeles and Not be Los Angeles at the same time. An animal can not be a fish and a bird, it is either on e or the other. I am not evil just because I recognize and relay an exclusivity claim. Jesus Himself made the claim. ______ You can not hear what Jesus taught and said and come to the reasonable conclusion that he was anything other than Insane or actually God. He left no room for doubt about what he claimed to be. He explicitly claimed to be GOD, YHWH, The Great I AM. “Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.’” John 8:58 “‘I and the Father are one.’ The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, ‘I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?’ The Jews answered him, ‘It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.’” John 10:30-33 “Again the high priest asked him, ‘Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?’ And Jesus said, ‘I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.’” Mark 14:61-62 Those listening to him knew this. I have accepted this as truth. Because of this, I have accepted what he taught as truth. I want to spread this truth so others can have understanding of it as well. Which is more loving, to let someone live a lie or to educate them to the truth? To remain silent and not try to redirect their path away from danger or to speak and try to save them from folly? I would rather be guilty of hurting someone's feeling by revealing the truth than be held responsible for their demise because I failed to warn them. __________ Satan is the enemy of God, the father of lies, the deceiver. He will do anything he can to confuse and lead astray as many as he can from the path to salvation. “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus claimed to be GOD. Jesus claimed to be the only way into Heaven. Jesus claimed to be The TRUTH. If you have a problem with any of the exclusivity claims that I relayed, then take them up with Jesus. I will not argue with God.

This is the sentiment of most of the nation right now. #TDAO #FAFO #ShotsFired

I never said you are the devil. I did say it sounded like there was a lie in what you were stating. I did not pass judgement on you but rather tried to illuminate the truth.

Wow. You have a lot of hostility. Nothing I said was hostile. You make a lot of accusations and assumptions. I believe that there is objective truth. I believe Jesus was God & Man. And I believe what He taught personally and through the writers of the Bible. These are enough for me. They are enough for anyone. If taken to heart, they create a person that is an example of God's love. Peace be upon you and may God's light illuminate your way.

You are going to pick apart anything I reply with, but I will do my best. No one who believes the Biblical creation account should argue that the serpent was unintelligent. So wise could refer to understanding the world and human nature. It Newberry days in the Bible that anything was forbidden in the garden except eating of the one tree. Whether the serpent was an intelligent animal, or Satan, or some other supernatural being makes no difference in this context because the Bible does not say anything about forbidden entrance into the garden. I don't need to make my theology align with the beliefs of other religions. However, if Christianity is correct, then all other religions would by consequence be fabrications of Satan and of course would venerate the serpent as wise and powerful. Baptism of the holy spirit on Pentecost with visible tongues of flames was an outward sign of divine empowerment. It was not necessary. I don't know why God chose that as the sign. Genesis 1 does not require any speculation at all. It does not need to bee founded in or proven by science, though I am sure that with enough information it would. God's nature is consistent, unchanging, and is the essence of truth. So I believe that when all the details are finally known it will all make sense. What about the golden rule is inconsistent with Genesis 1? Specifically? Not answering this one until you are clear. Matthew and Mark were written by two different people, with two different perspectives, targeting different audiences who prioritized different things. Eye witness accounts always have variances in them when compared side by side. This doesn't mean that they are wrong. The Israel was a conquered nation occupied by the Roman Empire. To say that any language would have been unknown there would be disingenuous. There would have been many, many languages spoken throughout the entire region. The Israelites spent hundreds of years in Egypt and the religious practices of the day included baptism, though in a different context. The baptism of the Holy Spirit in the context of Pentecost was a special event. Subsequent to this the baptism of the Holy Spirit happens at the same time so redundancy is not an issue to me. Halos are unimportant and not a salvation issue. Not worth arguing over. I believe angels are supernatural created beings serving God. If there is an objective truth and it contradicts someone's beliefs, then educating them about said truth would not be wrong even though it would cause cognitive dissonance and probably hostility on their part. Refusing to accept falsehood as truth is not evil. Communicating God's truth and allowing Him to use you to save a lost soul is the epitome of loving your neighbor. Which Holy War are you referring to? My war is against spiritual things in the heavenly realms. My weapons are provided and empowered by God himself. As to the last, I am unfamiliar with that consistent at least how you presented it. But the bottom line is Good said it, so I believe it.

God is not everything. God made everything. There is a difference. You see reflections of the creator in the things created. His nature is evident in his work. Don't fall into the lie that everything is a part of God. God is eternal. God creation is not. In the beginning God created. There was a time when there was nothing, then it was created. Therefore it can not be part of God.
