Hate, just brings more hate. Hate is not of JESUS!

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
 
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
John 13:34-35

I am an unpopular Pastor and news commentator in a divided America and much of the Church. Much of the Church in America has really been drinking the political Koo-Aid for the last 7 years or so……I will never accept politicians who use bad language, treat woman so badly and have such questionable ethics. Much of it is not even questionable ethics, as the proof is in the pudding! I look for the Spiritual fruit, the fruit of JESUS! I have been sharing on this very ugly situation for over 17 years, God showed me this was coming. I am a registered Independent, as I will not be associated with the extreme dysfunction of both the GOP and Dems. It would be like me being associated with a dysfunctional Church. Both the GOP and Dems are destroying America. For me, the last 7 years has been hell here in America, where everything turned more political and dirtier than ever in my almost 66 years. Many in the Church and even Pastors got sucked up in it. You see here at FGGAM, we take a Biblical Worldview, not a political worldview. The answer is always JESUS! It is all written down for us in the Bible. Some will say that I am really off base. So be  it, I am with JESUS and The Bible, the Ten Commandments and The Great Commission, not a political platform.

America as we knew is, it rapidly being destroyed. What will we look like in just 6 months?

We are in Civil War. HATE is more prominent than JESUS in America.

There is no national news organization that  is non-partisan anymore in America. That is such a shame. BUT FGGAM is! We report from a Biblical Worldview.

I get up early everyday to report news and inspiration here at FGGAM. My news and twitter, and Facebook feed is full of hate, so much hate…..JESUS!!! JESUS!! is the answer, love one another, build bridges of trust and love. JESUS is not HATE, JESUS is love!

Unless there is a miracle of God here and these politicians learn to work together and accept JESUS as their Lord and Savior we are sunk.

Do not be blinded by your politics! There is dirty play on both sides of the aisle.

The news is filled most everyday with scandals in the American Church! Most of it is sex scandals.

I AM FREE FROM ALL THAT DIRT!!! I HAVE JESUS CHRIST MY LORD AND SAVIOR!!!

If your a Holy Spirit Preacher God will give you the Words to speak to an unbelieving world!!! AMEN! How do I know? God does it for me all the time! PTL! All Glory to God!

How President Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill worked together: Reagan on O’Neill: “a round thing that gobbles up money.” O’Neill on Reagan: “Herbert Hoover with a smile.” Yet they “put country ahead of personal belief and party loyalty” and were real friends. After work hours, that is.

Ginni Thomas, Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife, exchanged texts with Mark Meadows about efforts to overturn the 2020 election

This breaks my heart…..too much political Kool-Aid taken in by many Pastors…JESUS!!! JESUS!!!

THE CHRISTIAN POST REPORTS:

“Gallup has found that trust and confidence in organized religion have plummeted over the past two decades. In 2021, only 37% of the public reported having a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in religious institutions, a massive decline since 2001 when 60 percent reported feeling confident,”

Americans are leaving church and most aren’t coming back: report

Hate really came out at the Supreme Court hearings

Dr. Jim Denison shared this today at FGGAM:

The only way to “find life and flourishing”

In Jesus the Great Philosopher: Rediscovering the Wisdom Needed for the Good Life, biblical scholar Jonathan T. Pennington identifies two characteristics of biblical ethics: imitative and agentic.

Biblical moral standards are imitative in that God’s ethical demands are rooted in his own nature. According to Pennington, “Humans will only find life and flourishing when they imitate their Creator, when they learn to inhabit the world in the ways that accord with God’s own nature, will, and coming kingdom.”

Biblical ethics are agentic in that “we as moral agents matter.” As Pennington notes, “Who we are as people is significant—our understanding, our emotions, our motives, and our desires are wrapped up in what is right and wrong.”

This imitative and agentic ethic is a kind of “virtue ethics” that “focuses not just on the external issues of right and wrong but on our interior person and our development to be a certain kind of people. In the Bible, this means becoming more like God himself.”

Here’s the problem: we need God’s help to become more like God. Humans, because we are fallen and sinful by nature, cannot transform ourselves into a holiness we do not possess. I once heard our attempts to be good enough for God likened to a group of tourists who decided to swim from California to Hawaii. The best swimmers got further than the others, but all drowned.
