My point here is simple. I do not support Trump or Harris, but I support the principle of truth. When Russia is put forward as more successful than the US you know something is very wrong. In previous discussion with others I realised truth did not matter to some, just winning. Jesus chose...

You know you are in a cult when the leader is the issue not the concepts one believes in. If the concepts shift like the wind and the person is the only stationary object, it is them that is the centre of attention. Once you corrupt that centre there is literally no stopping it, because every...

I have followed the discussions over the last 6 years, and project 25 and the Heritage Foundation are all embedded with Trump. The publicity over project 25 has become very negative so Trump has tried to distance himself from it, but that's impossible with all his talks at the heritage...

The strange thing is governments printed money to get the world through COVID and inflation is the result. Last time such policies were followed the great depression came about, but the way they did it through buying debt and in affect borrowing from tomorrow to pay for today. No matter who was...

Are you aware of project 25 and restructuring the whole institutions of state that will support the dictator president? This step will be a historical step in world history.

Boundaries. Jesus said something very strange. He asked the Father that we might be one as He was one with the Father. I believe He was talking about shared views, heart, motivation, where love is our love with the Lords love working together for His glory. Our danger is wanting to define...

The only question we need to answer is "Can I love another person?" We live our lives wrapped up in our own thoughts and actions, berely noticing those around us. But if Jesus has broken in and set us free then we desire to bring about this reality for others. So I wonder who has found this...

So true. Knowledge is just knowing opportunity, but without love and right perspective, evil will always appear more inviting even though it leads to death. What did the serpent say to Eve? Gaining knowledge is worth more and the risk of death is a lie. So not trusting God, the creator of...

As I have got older and had discussions on this subject for at least 8 years, it struck me today simply the word "love" says it all. Jesus died to show at the heart of God is love, held righteously. Sin is selfishness exalted above the needs of everyone around the individual. If anyone takes...

What ardent followers of Trump miss is what they are, emotionally linked to an individual and their definition of truth. Look at what Trump did to all those he recruited in 2016, he fired them. His only criteria is loyalty to him personally not a meritocracy. The USA business is built on a...

I personally divide accepting or rejecting people and their behaviour separate from salvation. I do not know who is or is not saved, but I can interact with people who behave in a loving way and those who do not. Jesus did not call us to have fellowship and openness with abusers, but rather to...

There are two distinct issues here. How we encounter God and community behaviour. The community of believers is tied together by love of Jesus and a behaviour pattern that acknowledges this. Obviously people come to meetings and desire to become part of the community of believers but...

Integrity and honesty matter most. There are many people unsure of the future with so much uncertainty that a strong leader appeals even though this leader constantly lies and behaves badly towards friends and enemies with their only ethic being loyalty to them. How could Christians follow such...

This made me think of a phrase I heard from a senior church leader. I preach the truth, truth is what matters. It made me laugh because they supported the prosperity gospel and Benny Hinn, being a major promotor of Hinn's work in the UK. As a long documentary and analysis of Hinn's ministry...

Amen. What has struck me about Paul and his writings is to understand them you have to feel what he is feeling, and get the context. In someways that is impossible, until you find everything he is writing flows from ones own heart. When I was young reading Pauls letter I could feel the emotion...

"But judgement belongs to God" There is tension here. If we say there is no judgement, no accounting for actions good or bad, there are no courts, no prisons, no judges, no police, no army. Right judgement with grace and mercy is what Jesus calls for. He criticised the Pharisees for not...

My quotes are from your post, so obviously you meant something else. Thats fine, I am just expanding on what I was saying about how we empathise and reach out to others. The thread is about leaders and how they preach and lead. So I am responding to that subject. It is too easy to get wrapped...

"You fear you may be wrong so you make a defense." It is always a possibility. What I have learnt is our emotions exist, but we have to explore the why. Sometimes the answer is actually stepping outside the situation and noting the reaction we all have one with another. To empathise we try and...

Hunting for the enemy or being a light in a dark place Some believe the power of the gospel is diluted by wrong doctrine, by the enemy sowing weeds in the field. Jesus was very clear. The weeds will grow, but His people will prosper, and weeding will harm them so He will let it be. But why...

It is telling that those who often talk about a log, never take it out. Often peoples sinful behaviour is a symptom of something more complex, unresolved hurt and anger, claims of things being unfair, anger issues. What is missed is repentance of sinful actions is the first step of challenging...
