Our Sufficiency in Christ
What if your weakness isn’t a problem to fix—but the very thing God intends to use? What if the very weakness you’re trying to hide is actually what God wants to put on display?

Some thoughts on Jesus's cry of dereliction for Good Friday. open.substack.com/pub/readings...
open.substack.com
"My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?"
Did the Father really abandon the Son of the Cross? What does the cry of dereliction say about the Father and human lament?

I was told if I didn't vote for Trump, the government would try to stop Christians from gathering.... They were right.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Locke, Second Treatise of Government:
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Of Tyranny

199. As usurpation is the exercise of power which another hath a right to, so tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which nobody can have a right to. And this is making use of the power anyone has in his hands, not for the good of those who are under it, but for his own private, separate advantage. When the governor, however entitled, makes not the law but his will the rule, and his commands and actions are not directed to the preservation of the properties of his people, but the satisfaction of his own ambition, revenge, covetousness, or any other irregular passion

Summers is not a fire breather or some left winger. He slimmed down Obama’s stimulus and he said Biden’s Covid stimulus would overheat the economy. So him saying this is a big damn deal.

NEW: the Trump admin has moved to terminate TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua, covering over 50,000 people Both of these designations date back to 1999, meaning Trump wants to strip legal status from people here legally who have had a background check every 18 months for the last 26 years.

I regret to inform you that there are no post anesthesia videos after my collar bone surgery this morning. Also, so far so good but I also have a local anesthestic that will wear off soon.

This story exemplifies the reason people are outraged at ICE. This guy did nothing wrong. He broke not a single law. He was a guard at a base that housed US troops. He came here legally through humanitarian parole. He had an asylum application pending. Yet the Trump admin had ICE grab him anyway.

The word "un-American" is loaded. I find myself using it more than ever. Today, universities, law firms, tech companies, etc., are fearing the federal government. Trembling before it. I think this ought not to be, in America. I regard it as un-American.
