A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

As a nation, we are week by week less prosperous, less secure, less humane, less democratic, less prepared for a health crisis or a natural disaster. The responses—widen circle of allies, pressure political leaders, use your voice, vote, be curious, describe the human cost of dismantling the U.S.

1. Last weekend, the lead pastor at Lutheran Church of Hope, the largest church in the DSM metro, said the church policy was to welcome everyone, gay and straight, trans and cisgendered, but that statement raised some questions for me, because they don't officiate weddings for LGBTQ couples

COLLINS: “AP says you banned them because they won’t call it ‘Gulf of America’ — does this mean Trump will retaliate against reporters who don’t use language you want them to, and how does this align with your first amendment commitment?” Beyond parody. Also, chilling.

1/ Remember This: Trump would not be in office if it were not for the MAGA Christen, CN adherents, and numerous Christian leaders. Everything you see happening in America, RIGHT NOW ... the chaos, pain, and cruelty ... is what a "Christian nation" looks like. It's the fruit of American Christendom.

The church in the United States has lost almost all validity with multiple generations not because we've failed to teach what Jesus would do, but because those who mostly loudly claim to follow Jesus seem to want nothing to do with what they taught us Jesus would do.

Now that Trump is in office he's immediately pivoted from "the President is responsible for anything bad that happens in the world" to "Me? That's not my problem."

We need to put to bed, forever, the pretense that, in the country, "Justice is blind". Trump received no penalty despite being a convicted criminal because of who he is and the position he is about to hold. I know y'all already know that justice has *never* been blind; just highlighting it again.

Of note: Feucht has yet to change/take down any of the promotions for this event (website, social media, etc) despite the priest now telling multiple outlets it isn't happening at his church. Feucht has, however, claimed there is "warfare" against his efforts to host the event.
The warfare coming against us to host this inauguration worship event on Capitol Hill is UNBELIEVABLE! 

Anytime I feel this much resistance, it clearly reveals how much the enemy HATES worship preparing the way for a new season in America!

Would you pray with me for breakthrough and favor? I really feel we are called to do this.

My plan costs nearly 18,000 a year and comes with a 4,000 deductible on top of that. Thankfully, I don’t need to use my plan that much. If I did need it, I don’t know if I could count on it. But at least I got my Covid booster and four shot for “free”
