It saddens me these hearings and all politics in America has turned so ugly! The hate really came out yesterday at the Supreme Court hearing. Ted Cruz really acted like a mad man, out of control, I got physically ill and had to turn it off, My discernment from God had me stop watching. I do not agree with Judge Jackson on various issues, but I know I can not sway her with such madness as Cruz did yesterday. If Cruz says he is a man of God, he must act like one. Hate, just pours gas on the flames of hate already raging across America. So many Americans need to read this: Psalm 37:11: But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace. Meekness in the biblical sense is not weakness. In fact, it is just the opposite. It is “power under control. I love the story of Abby Johnson who worked for Planned Parenthood, she said on ‘Focus on The Family’ one day, “It was the love, not the hate from the pro-life community that won me over.” Abby now is one of the greatest defenders in America for God’s babies! Through love, not hate! America desperately needs leaders that can bring all sides together. Sadly, at this time, I see know one that can do that. Whatever happened to being civil? BOTH SIDES act so crazy at times. If we are ever going to be the America that we were intended to be, the greatest nation ever, we are going to have to learn to love each other and accept each other despite our differences. We need a peace maker in America, He is called JESUS! The two party political system has been DEAD for years in America. The GOP and the DEMS are fighting each other for heavens sake! Both parties are at fault, the people’s business is not getting down, has not for years. The last 7 years or so have been the worst years of my life in America. TOO MUCH HATE, the political system has gone to hell. I do not trust either party to do what is right for God and His people. America needs GOD ALMIGHTY! AMERICA BLESS GOD!!
Opinion: Dirty Politics on Both Sides, HATE appears to be more prominent than JESUS in America
Only 6% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview, you can see it right before your eyes….so many Americans act like they are in a hurry to their own funeral! Not following the ways of JESUS! Love JESUS not politics.
I am a registered Independent, I beleive both the GOP and Dems have become very dysfunctional. If I belonged to any party, it would be like being a member of a dysfunctional Church. NOT ACCEPTABLE IN MY BOOK!
The more people I talk to across America, in-person and on the phone, they have given up on both parties. Nothing gets done for the people.
JESUS!!! Repent and seek the face of JESUS! Please America.
We need leaders that can build bridges of love and trust.
My goodness, I have people all the time that disagree with me, even give me the look of death at times, but I don’t go crazy on them, I show them the love of Jesus and the calmness that Jesus gives me. I do not let people rattle my cage, because I have JESUS! I LOVE NOT HATE!
Too many Americas are sucked up in conspiracy theories and not the WORD OF GOD! They thrive on conspiracy theories! Its like their religion.
I was telling Sharon that I could write books on this topic, but I’m a way better speaker than writer.
I seek God every morning on what to write and speak about.
American politics is hazardous to the health of our children and to all of us. It should be a Surgeon Generals Warning!
Seek JESUS, not politics and hate. Build bridges of trust and love. The hate really took off about 7 years ago and is getting worse. There is no good future in America at this time, it only worse.
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
You will notice that loving each other is a COMMAND from JESUS! Not a suggestion!
What I just wrote is called ‘Tough Love’ I love you all, but behave yourselves, LOVE JESUS and all people! If not, we will continue this civil war in America.
Democrats appear confident that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be confirmed as the first Black woman to the Supreme Court after she faced her final day of intense questioning from Republicans over her sentences for convicted criminals. Today’s hearing will focus on testimony from legal experts about Judge Jackson’s qualifications.
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.
FGGAM Shares a Biblical Worldview Everyday:
“The Biblical worldview says there is a God—One who is personal, powerful and caring—who created the world and everything in it. It states unequivocally that man is created in God’s image, living in essence as God’s co-regent over creation. Mankind—born and unborn, rich and poor, able and disabled—has intrinsic worth. Almighty God is a sovereign God, ruler over nations, states, empires, and governments. He is to be worshiped and obeyed through the precepts and principles revealed in His infallible Word. He not only exists, but He is sovereign over all of history according to His wisdom and purposes, and He is intimately involved in every aspect of life.”
