The God Who Fights For Us

 
The God Who Fights For Us 
Sovereign Grace Music

VERSE 1
There is a war we cannot see, 
a fight that’s raging in the shadows
A hidden power, our enemy, 
arrayed against the saints in battle
Oh, bride of Christ, lift up your praises, 
You stand upon the Rock of Ages

CHORUS
Who fights for us? The Lord of hosts, 
our strong defense, our only hope
His mighty hand will bear us up, 
we praise the God Who fights for us

VERSE 2
There is a war within our flesh, 
we hear the whispers of temptation
They promise life, but lead to death 
and steal the joy of our salvation
Oh, bride of Christ, look to your Savior, 
His Spirit’s power in you is greater

CHORUS
Who fights for us? The Lord of hosts, 
our strong defense, our only hope
His mighty hand will bear us up, 
we praise the God Who fights for us

VERSE 3
There is a war that has been won 
for Christ has triumphed over evil 
Our debt is paid, the curse undone, 
the Lord will not forsake His people 
Oh, bride of Christ! All for His honor, 
the risen Lamb for you has conquered

CHORUS
Who fights for us? The Lord of hosts, 
our strong defense, our only hope
Who fights for us? The Lord of hosts, 
our strong defense, our only hope
His mighty hand will bear us up, 
we praise the God Who fights for us

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob...

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose hope is in the Lord his God,
who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
who keeps faith forever;
    who executes justice for the oppressed,
    who gives food to the hungry.

The Lord sets the prisoners free;
    the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
    the Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord watches over the sojourners;
    he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
    but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
  -Psalm 146:5-9

Washington Nationals Fire Sean Hudson After Undercover Video Reveals Anti-Christian Company Culture   Hudson was let go Friday, days after James O’Keefe published footage of him explaining, in his own unguarded words, why pitcher Trevor Williams had been frozen out of the team’s social media promotions. The reason was not Williams’s pitching, his personality, or anything resembling a baseball decision. It was his faith.

In health care, vile hatred and threats against Israelis and Jews are patently ignored and even celebrated.

-----------------------------------

The evil people do against others is often mentioned in Scripture, yet one particular type of evil seems to sit in the shadows: betrayal.  Betrayal is, however, a theme that emerges in transformative ways with historical significance, coming to a climax in Judas’ betrayal of Jesus.  Old Testament narratives and psalms of betrayal prepare the way for this climactic betrayal of our Saviour.  Moreover, they also minister to us in the very real and painful experiences of betrayal.

Questions about technology are, ultimately, questions about humanity: if technology is a means to an end, is the end we are seeking life-giving, or is it destructive? Does it help us to be the people who God created us to be?
   Will we be people who work, harnessing the power of technology rather than being slaves to it?
   Will we be people who are relational, or will our interactions with other humans, made in God’s image, be replaced by interactions with chatbots who we create in our own image?
   And above all, will AI help us to be conformed into the image of Jesus? Image

Qatar's Jihad on Texas' K-12 Public Schools: Promoting Islam and Whitewashing Terrorism in Public Classrooms   Qatar is pouring millions into public schools to push Islamic indoctrination, force praise of the Prophet Mohammed, and whitewash terror groups like Hamas as “resistance.” From all-Arabic Saudi textbooks in Texas to radical curricula reaching over one million students, this is stealth jihad targeting America’s children.

Fear and Algae in the Hamptons: How Flesh-Eating Bacteria Is Invading the East Coast’s Swankiest Waterways   As the summer season begins, upper-crust New York’s go-to destination is facing an unfortunate “flesh-eating bacteria” situation in the ponds and bays near $40 million houses. The summer vacationers aren’t too fazed, but the head of an organization representing the local oystermen says it’s a manufactured crisis.

Do not be conformed to this world...

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. -Romans 12:2

Islamization of Texas: Muslims Parade Goats for Barbaric Eid al-Adha Slaughter at All-Islamic Shopping Plaza in Sugar Land   The barbaric Islamic ritual of Eid al-Adha begins Wednesday. A night not of “peace”, but of screams, blood, and unimaginable animal suffering.
   The videos of animals crying, shaking, and bleeding out slowly as they’re ritually tortured by Muslims are sick and gut-wrenching.

CONQUERED: SCOTLAND’S LEADERS TAKE GUIDANCE FROM THE QURAN - CHRISTIANS SUBMIT (Video)  They were given marching orders from the Quran… inside a Christian cathedral.
   Even worse: In Islamic tradition, once Muslims pray or recite the Quran in a church, many consider that space theirs forever.

TOTAL CORRUPTION: Two Minnesota Muslim Women Arrested In Massive $21 Million Autism Program Scam — Taxpayer Cash Sent Overseas  Shamso Ahmed Hassan, 55, and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf, 25, both of Brooklyn Park, were taken into custody by HSI agents. Federal prosecutors say the pair submitted $46.6 million in fraudulent claims to Minnesota’s Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) program — a Medicaid-funded service for children with autism — and pocketed approximately $21.1 million in taxpayer money for services that were never provided.

Mamdani Begins to Implement Communism  The Communist Twelver Shi’ite mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, made a major announcement on Tuesday: he is beginning to implement the Marxist seizure of property in New York City.
   He did not, of course, state that in so many words.

Babies for sale – why surrogacy is little better than slavery  Historically, healthy societies understood something that modern culture increasingly struggles to comprehend: motherhood is not merely a biological process that can be outsourced and managed through contract law. Pregnancy creates profound human bonds that civilisation once treated with seriousness and reverence.
   Modern surrogacy asks society to pretend those bonds are ultimately meaningless. Even the language surrounding the industry reveals its coldness. Mothers become ‘gestational carriers’. Children become the product of ‘family-building services’. Human reproduction is increasingly discussed in the language of logistics, transactions and consumer fulfilment

Canada’s Medical Assistance In Dying Program Is An Express Train To Hell  Against growing opposition, MAID eligibility is expected to expand on March 17, 2027, to allow medically assisted euthanasia for those who only suffer mental illness, with no terminal illness or physical ailment. Euthanasia advocates also argue for expanding MAID eligibility to minors, though that proposal has not advanced.

California advocates wanted to provide solar panels to 1 million low-income housing residents. After ten years, the state is more than 900,000 short of that goal.

What is the problem? Why do so many teachers quit? What can be done to improve the public school system, if at all? The main problem, as I see it, is that teachers are no longer valued. They’re appreciated a couple of times a year, but they’re not valued. Teachers are interchangeable. Today, teachers are seen as the hired help. If one quits, you just find another. No big deal. My school district, the district I graduated from, did not see me as a teacher. I was a babysitter at a “problem school.” The district would never say that in public, but that was the very clear implication. 
   Students are believed over teachers. Teachers are expected to solve all the problems thrown at them without help or backup and without stopping the lesson.

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence...

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
    for my hope is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
    my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

Trust in him at all times, O people;
    pour out your heart before him;
    God is a refuge for us.
 -Psalm 62:5-8

The UN’s Quiet Crusade Is Sexualizing Children Under the Guise of “Health”   The International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education, developed by UNESCO alongside UNFPA, UNICEF, and other UN bodies, serves as the blueprint. It divides content into age bands beginning at five years old. Early modules teach that humans naturally enjoy their bodies and explore differences between sex and gender, directing children to seek information from external sources rather than primarily from parents.
   As children reach ages nine through twelve, the guidance escalates.

Sleepless in Seattle: Residents Forced to Take Crimefighting Into Their Own Hands As Police Do Nothing   "There's been a shooting almost every night in the last couple of weeks," explained one woman.
   A male said the situation was unacceptable. "It's terrifying to live here, and it's even more terrifying that the city is absolutely doing nothing to protect the citizens in this neighborhood.

The Replacements: How US Helps Foreign Workers Take American Jobs While the H-1B program spans multiple industries, it’s overwhelmingly concentrated in tech. Last year, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Tata Consultancy, and Google were the biggest visa users, with Amazon alone recording more than 13,000 applications. These companies find the savings from hiring foreign workers hard to resist. The job of software developer, for instance, accounts for 38% of all H-1B visa workers, according to a 2026 paper by Borjas. And these foreign software developers earn about 30% less than their U.S. counterparts, the economist estimates. Image

Peak media hypocrisy: Outrage at Trump’s deportations, silence on Biden’s secret flights  Yet this sudden outrage over logistics rings hollow when contrasted with the near-total media silence during the Biden years, when the federal government conducted hundreds of night flights ferrying illegal aliens into American communities under cover of darkness, often without notification to local officials or residents.

DOJ: By Its Own Admission, Yale Med School Illegally Discriminates Against White, Asian Applicants   By its own admission, Yale Medical School has seemingly been caught engaging in racial discrimination, not engaging in holistic admission decisions, the latter of which would be legally permissible as long as race were not among the holistic criteria. Defenders of Yale seem to think race can still be considered as long as everyone is high-scoring or if we imagine that race is equivalent to disadvantage. Equality under the law does not allow this.

I bless the Lord who gives me counsel...

I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
    in the night also my heart instructs me.
I have set the Lord always before me;
    because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;
    my flesh also dwells secure.
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
    or let your holy one see corruption.

You make known to me the path of life;
    in your presence there is fullness of joy;
    at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
-Psalm 16:7-1

Americans were unique in sacrificing their treasure and lives to found the first country in history, establishing that all people have natural rights that come from God rather than from rulers or government. The Declaration of Independence affirmed the equality of all people and that they were endowed with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And just because it took 200 years for that entire vision to be fully realized, it does not diminish the founding based on those ideals. In fact, Americans should be both grateful and proud of the 5000-year miracle of their country being the first in human history to establish that it was the people and not the State who had sovereign and unalienable rights—the Bill of Rights.

-------------------------------

What has happened to our country? It’s amazing, the insanity leftists can get away with today  We need only to look at the disgusting behavior of Luigi Mangione “fans,” cheering for that backshooting murderer outside the courtroom where he’s being tried, to recognize the cultural depravity that has gripped our country.  Furthermore, when we see the rise of antisemitism in the Democrat party, and in the podcasts of some so-called conservative Republicans, it’s a chilling reminder of how quickly people forget what such bigotry leads to.  President Trump didn’t forget.  His support of the Jewish community is further enhanced by his strong, unapologetic alliance with Israel.  Additionally, his focus on combating Jewish hatred on college campuses is in direct opposition to left-wing dogma. 

The moral norm in American society has shifted during the years from 1910 to the present, but especially during the past 50 years.  The link between being a “good citizen” and a “moral person” has atrophied, and we find ourselves in a decline, where so-called “good citizens” are regularly engaged in behaviors that in earlier decades were considered immoral or illegal.  Bad behavior is now “not so bad,” and crimes are often believed to be merely “adjustment problems.”  This shift in cultural values and norms has divided the population to the point where the more moral people tend to be older and deem younger generations less than moral.

A collapsing Europe shows where Democrat policies will take America   When the Soviet Union collapsed, and America’s defense spending waned, the true costs of socialism began to be clear: The economies became sluggish; the birthrates collapsed, necessitating importing third world, usually Muslim, labor; the social services started imploding, especially because those same third worlders drained the systems, despite never having contributed to them; soft on crime policies destroyed civilized society; and the brain rot of socialism saw Europe embrace the madcap, self-destructive idea of Net Zero carbon output, which has seen Europe retreat from the modern world into a cold, dark, pre-modern time.
   All of this is what today’s Marxist Democrats want for America.

The Left’s Attack on Courts is Meant To Destroy the Constitution  For years, progressive activist groups propped up by wealthy activists have been cooking up imaginary scandals about justices and laundering them through faux journalistic operations.
   No leftists have ever offered a scintilla of genuine evidence that any of the “conservative” justices have altered their judicial philosophy or approach for any personal benefit.
   There is no “lawlessness.” There is an ideological disagreement.

Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God

 
Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God 
Keith and Kristyn Getty

Holy Spirit, living breath of God,
Breathe new life into my willing soul.
Let the presence of the risen Lord,
Come renew my heart and make me whole.
Cause Your Word to come alive in me;
Give me faith for what I cannot see,
Give me passion for Your purity;
Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.

Holy Spirit, come abide within,
May Your joy be seen in all I do.
Love enough to cover every sin,
In each thought and deed and attitude.
Kindness to the greatest and the least,
Gentleness that sows the path of peace.
Turn my strivings into works of grace;
Breath of God show Christ in all I do.

Holy Spirit, from creation’s birth,
Giving life to all that God has made,
Show Your power once again on earth,
Cause Your church to hunger for your ways.
Let the fragrance of our prayers arise;
Lead us on the road of sacrifice,
That in unity the face of Christ
May be clear for all the world to see.

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

America Conquered From the Bench: CAIR'S Pipeline Into U.S. Courts  While Texas and Florida have officially designated CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations, these same terror networks are STILL aggressively embedding Islamic supremacy into America’s judicial system.
   This is the Muslim Brotherhood’s deliberate, long-term plan to conquer our institutions from within and they’re succeeding.
   Their number one proxy? The so-called Council on American-Islamic Relations — better known as CAIR.

40,000 Evacuated In Southern California As Chemical Tank Threatens Leak Or Explosion  Roughly 40,000 people in Garden Grove, a Los Angeles suburb, were evacuated on Friday after a chemical storage tank was determined to be at risk of failing and spilling thousands of gallons of toxic material or exploding.

Texas Woman Arrested for Facebook Post About Town Water Quality   Combs pointed to the broader situation residents face. “There’s people that are saying that their appliances are getting ruined, they can’t cook with the water, they can’t bathe with it, they can’t do laundry,” she said. “A lot of them feel hushed, and like they don’t have a voice and no one listens to them and no one takes them seriously.”
  That last part is the chilling effect laid bare. When a city arrests someone for a Facebook post about water quality, the message to every other resident is clear: talk about this and you could be next.

------------------------------------

Seattle's Housing Market Is Imploding as the "Starbucks Effect" Takes Hold  Seattle’s experience mirrors patterns in other major Democratic strongholds where ideology trumps pragmatism. Companies vote with their feet, seeking environments where rule of law prevails and success isn’t penalized. Residents follow, seeking affordability and security. The resulting vacancies and price corrections represent market correction, not crisis—though the human cost of policy failure remains real for those left behind.
  Seattle’s foundations—once rooted in enterprise and innovation—now face erosion from self-inflicted storms.

------------------------------------

The Grocery Store Is Becoming a Surveillance Center   Grocery stores are already building extensive consumer profiles using purchase histories, browsing activity, online searches, and third-party broker data to infer everything from your economic status to health conditions and family structure. The stores can categorize customers as “not price sensitive” or identify people based on lifestyle and purchasing behavior. Think carefully about what that means once artificial intelligence is connected to dynamic pricing systems.
   If the system knows you make $250,000 per year, drive a luxury car, buy premium organic products, and routinely spend without checking prices, why would it offer you the same price as someone struggling paycheck to paycheck? The entire purpose of surveillance pricing is to determine the maximum amount YOU personally are willing to pay.

Come, O children, listen to me...

Come, O children, listen to me;
    I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
What man is there who desires life
    and loves many days, that he may see good?
Keep your tongue from evil
    and your lips from speaking deceit.
Turn away from evil and do good;
    seek peace and pursue it.
-Psalm 34:11-14

European Author Of Banned Book: ‘It Is Christianity They Are Trying To Censor’  Hostility to free speech and Christianity is growing dramatically across Europe, slowly shifting restrictions on these fundamental human rights closer to those of repressive regimes such as Russia and China. A former U.S. ambassador estimated England alone now jails more citizens over speech crimes than Vladimir Putin’s Russia, including numerous prosecutions of people for admitting to silent prayer on public property. The systemic repression of speech has fueled citizen unrest, massive recent opposition party wins in local U.K. elections, and calls for Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s resignation.

The DNC’s 2024 Autopsy Is Here, and Oh Boy, It’s a Dumpster Fire Of course, most of what the autopsy actually concludes isn't exactly earth-shattering. Democrats didn't just lose because of Donald Trump. They lost because they've spent years drifting away from working-class voters, men, rural America, and irregular voters, while banking everything on anti-Trump messaging and demographic assumptions that turned out to be dead wrong. Image

----------------------------------

Illegals Are Killing America...Another horrific murder shows what we’re up against — not just the illegal aliens, but the judges who keep releasing them   What’s actually happening is that Democrat politicians are knowingly allowing the murder of thousands of innocent American citizens, and when the murders take place, all too often, they urge leniency for the killer — as federal prosecutors suspect they will in the case of Gorman’s accused killer — or somehow blame the killing on Trump.  We need to recognize that illegal alien crime is not a small problem; it is a cancer that has been growing and that will continue to grow until ICE roots it out.

Trump Moves to Remove Illegal Aliens From Banking System, Protecting American Finances   President Donald Trump has issued an executive order taking action against the Biden-era phenomenon of banks lending or facilitating payments to illegal aliens.

They have to talk, find out how their day is going, what’s going on, what class do you have next, did you do last night’s homework?”

Therefore, preparing your minds for action...

Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”   -1 Peter 1:13-16

Spencer Pratt and the Dem Destruction of Los Angeles The guy is a patriot. The guy isn’t giving up. He’s staying in the fight. And even if he doesn’t win this battle, and he’s not going to win this battle, he’s doing something for the rest of us. He’s shining the spotlight on the complete failure that the Democrat Party has embraced as it has invited the socialists and communists into the highest echelons of its ranks. Los Angeles won’t save itself, but the cautionary example that Los Angeles provides may help other places save themselves.
   Thank you, Spencer, for sounding the alarm, and good luck to you even though you don’t have a chance in hell.

Biden’s DOJ Protected SPLC From Scrutiny, Dropped DOJ Investigation   According to Jordan, as far as the Biden administration was concerned, the political necessity of keeping the SPLC in good standing outweighed any interest in accountability.
