Holy, Holy, Holy!

Holy, Holy, Holy!
Keith & Kristyn Getty

Verse 1
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Verse 2
Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim, falling down before Thee
Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be

Verse 3
Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee
Perfect in pow'r, in love and purity

Verse 4
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name, 
in earth and sky and sea
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Let love be genuine...

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. 
-Romans 12:9-13

Love—and the unity it attests to—is the mark Christ gave Christians to wear before the world. Only with this mark may the world know that Christians are indeed Christians and that Jesus was sent by the Father.   -Francis A. Schaeffer

The Fall of Rome and the Future of America: Illegal aliens have little sympathy for Americans, they are the people coming to take your inheritance from you Near its end, Romans were a lazy, self-indulgent people who paid others to do their fighting writes Larry Alex Taunton, speaking from firsthand experience with caravans of illegal aliens from South America. (Larry was the speaker who gave the famous September 11th keynote address: "Muslims have finally cracked the code on the West" — For Islam, "Socialism Is THE Trojan Horse" to power.)

Christian Mission and Islam...How should Christians deal with the Islamic onslaught?  As I have said so often before, the Christian has a twofold response when it comes to Islam. We are to love Muslims, but we are also to resist Islam. It might seem hard to do, but we must do both simultaneously. Both are imperatives for the believer.
   So we stand up for freedom on the political level and resist stealth jihad, while loving and reaching out to individual Muslims, bringing Christ’s message of salvation to them. To warn about the very real dangers of political Islam and creeping sharia does not mean we don’t seek to reach out to our Muslim neighbours with love and the gospel.

Supplements for Longevity Are Everywhere, but Do They Actually Work? Experts Break Down the Science   Aging isn't a disease, but a complex, multifaceted cascade involving a decline in your mitochondria—the tiny energy-producing factories inside your cells—and other processes.
   Some supplements aim to address these structures and functions, so your body is working closer to the way it did in your younger years, Dr. Timmons says. But because of the length of a human life, it's often difficult to prove they truly boost lifespan in randomized controlled trials, the gold standard of medical research.

And with his wounds we are healed...

Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
-Isaiah 53:4-5

God may thunder His commands from Mount Sinai and men may fear, yet remain at heart exactly as they were before. But let a man once see his God down in the arena as a Man, suffering, tempted, sweating, and agonized—finally dying a criminal’s death—and he is a hard man indeed who is untouched.  -J.B. Phillips

In a nation that must be in a constant state of readiness to survive, virtually every adult is trained and ready to be a hero. They are a “nation of lions.”

Israel Warned UK of Iran Terror Attack. UK Sanctioned Israel and Released Terrorists Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee was stunned to discover how determined UK authorities are to demonize Israel and side with the Muslims who want them dead. How suicidal do you have to be to hate the only country in the Middle East that favors the West and democracy while continually backing terrorists who would love nothing more than to turn the West into a brutal caliphate?

Serial Predator Larry Nassar and More than 20,000 Sex Offenders Removed from Michigan Registry Thanks to the Unanimous Ruling by Democrat-Controlled State Supreme Court  Those victims were promised the system would not look away again. Michigan’s highest court just deleted the public warning label on Nassar and more than 20,000 other sex offenders whose crimes predate a paperwork cutoff.
   The convictions stand. The prison doors stay shut for Nassar. The registry does not. Parents in Michigan can no longer look these men up.

Three classes that should be required for college students  Too many students are graduating with a college degree ignorant of this country and how it works.

Virginia State University accused of suppressing Christian student ministries while Muslim groups are exempt "It doesn't matter whether your motives are unity or things like that. You can't have one single campus pastor on campus that is able to control all Christian groups and then exclude the Muslim group and allow them to receive all of the benefits."

Churches today have an opportunity to buck our societal trend toward mediated, digital experience. Churches have a chance to demonstrate that not only souls but also bodies matter. Churches have a chance to reject the consumerism implicit within multi-site preaching and instead let God’s people be shepherded by messengers whose lives can be known by their hearers. Churches have a chance to showcase the beauty of face-to-face relationships, including relationships of spiritual care between pastors and congregants, even as our world seeks to remove human interaction at every turn. If churches are to do this, however, they must reject the pragmatics of video preaching and return to the biblical ideal: face-to-face, embodied preaching. My hope is that, in the future, our cities would be dotted not with multi-site campuses of churches streaming disembodied preachers, but rather with congregation after congregation of Christians receiving the teaching of God’s word via a local, embodied pastor.

Blessed are those who dwell in your house...

How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
My soul longs, yes, faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
to the living God.

Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
my King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
ever singing your praise! 
-Psalm 84:1-4

To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, [and] to devote the will to the purpose of God.  -William Temple

Hot Takes: NYTimes and Its PR Team Massively Step in It Over Report on Apparent Attempted Hijacking  As news was breaking about the violent incident on a FlyDubai aircraft full of Israeli passengers headed for Tel Aviv, the Times made a choice to describe it as merely an "altercation" between the two pilots...

Mass Casualty Attack on Houston Synagogue Averted Angelina Han Hicks, 18, of Lexington, North Carolina, and a 16-year-old boy from the Houston area were arrested and charged. Hicks allegedly conspired with two people identified only by their first names, “Angel” and “Teegan,” to “kill as many Jews as possible” by driving a vehicle through a congregation at the synagogue, the oldest in Texas.

The Left’s cries of “genocide” against Israel ring hollow when many of its loudest critics ignore the far bloodier histories of their own ancestral homelands.

Brandon Gill’s ‘Barron’s Law’ Would Require Truck Drivers to Pass English-Proficiency Test  Barron’s Law is designed to crack down on fraud in the transportation and logistics industry, where carriers often knowingly use illegal drivers. Gill’s legislation would also impose penalties on foreign carriers of upwards of $100,000 per vehicle, per day for those caught illegally transporting domestic freight.

California Man Arrested After Firing Warning Shots at Burglars Of course, this is Los Angeles, where they value the lives of criminals over ordinary citizens. Why, those burglars might have been illegal aliens who should be welcomed to take all of our crap because we live on stolen land or something!

Mexican Child Smugglers Used THC Gummies to Drug Kids  Incentivizing child smuggling is wrong, but that’s what the Biden administration and previous administrations did when they treated so-called ‘unaccompanied minors’ differently than they did adult illegals. Now we’re learning some of the ugly tactics used to smuggle these kids in.

The Deadly Drug You Can Still Buy Right Next To Candy Bars  “Drugs like kratom have been linked to thousands of deaths,” the ad’s narrator continues. “They call it gas station heroin because it acts like an opioid, sold legally right next to candy bars. Saturdays should be about football, not funerals. President Trump, it’s time to ban kratom.”

"Rev" Jeanne M. Hansknecht of St. Paul's says that Jesus demonstrated that Lazarus was gay by calling him to "come out."

Rise of the Religious Left: The Woke Pastors Backing Radical Democrats  Instead of a Church that calls on politicians to ground their morality and policies on the Bible and Christian tradition, woke Christianity takes the opposite approach, using existing progressive political beliefs to reinterpret Christianity to suit ideological leftism.This is causing many voters to ask, “Is woke Christianity really Christianity at all?”

Same-sex marriage arguments are now selling polyamory  If God’s purposes in creation, that the sexual act and procreation exist rightfully within God’s design for marriage as exclusively between one man and one woman for a lifetime, are plain enough to guide us on that issue, it’s safe to guess what Jesus would’ve said had He been asked about polyamory instead.
