God Leads Us Along...

 
God Leads Us Along

Verse 1 
In shady, green pastures, 
so rich and so sweet,
  God leads His dear children along;
  where the water’s cool flow 
bathes the weary one’s feet,
  God leads His dear children along.

Refrain:
Some through the waters, 
Some through the flood,
Some through the fire, 
but all through the blood;
Some through great sorrow, 
but God gives a song,
in the night season 
and all the day long.

Verse 2 
Sometimes on the mount 
where the sun shines so bright,
  God leads His dear children along;
  sometimes in the valley, 
in darkest of night,
  God leads His dear children along.

Verse 3 
Though sorrows befall us
 and evils oppose,
  God leads His dear children along;
  through grace we can conquer, 
defeat all our foes,
  God leads His dear children along.

"That they may all be one..."

“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me."  -John 17:20-23

This Awful Thing That the Super Bowl Has Become Belongs on the Hallmark Channel  In the 1980s, the Super Bowl went from being the most important football game of the year to being the most important television event of the year. There was a decided shift in focus, with the party taking precedence over the Super Bowl itself. The beginning of the end, in other words...
...Real sports fans loathe commercials. In fact, if there were an Olympic event that involved racing to grab a remote and mute an ad while we're watching a game, we would all be contending for gold medals. Heaven help the person who gets between me and the remote as a football broadcast goes to a commercial about medication for leaping chlamydia. Image

AP Ridiculed Over Article on Lack of Ethnic Diversity at Winter Olympics  The purported news outlet thoroughly embarrassed itself with a piece that centered around the lack of ethnic diversity at the winter games, presenting it as a problematic and discriminatory issue that needed to be addressed by society and the people in power (aka government)...

Peaceful Protesters, or Fifth Column Insurrectionists? A sobering analysis of Chinese ties to progressive politicians. If foreign enemies were attempting to start an insurrection in the U.S., agitating the public into anarchy, they would probably start where the most unhinged of the American population lives. Well, what do you know, we’re having riots/protests in New York, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles.
  What evidence is there that these “peaceful protests” are coordinated efforts? Read it all...

Fifth Circuit upholds Trump administration's mandatory detention policy  A panel of judges ruled 2-1 that the government can lawfully require detention for all noncitizens in removal proceedings who entered the U.S. without being legally admitted.

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

A globalist utopia? No, a European caliphate under Islamic mob rule  A proselytising religion cannot stand still. It can either expand or contract. Islam endeavours to expand in Britain . . . It aims at bringing its message to all corners of the earth. It hopes that one day the whole of humanity will be one Muslim community, the umma. Image

EU Censorship Threatens Free Speech Beyond Europe, Warns US  On 5 February, the battle over online free speech took a decisive international turn. In a warning aimed squarely at European regulators, US lawmakers accused the EU of exporting censorship to American citizens through pressure placed on US-based technology companies.
   What began as a regulatory disagreement has evolved into a broader confrontation over sovereignty and constitutional values. At issue is whether foreign governments, operating through regulatory frameworks such as the EU’s Digital Services Act, can shape what Americans are allowed to say, read, or publish online, even when that speech is lawful under United States law.

There’s a new study claiming that Gen Z is the first generation to score lower on IQ tests than the millennials before them. For decades, rising IQ scores have become the norm, and they’ve been linked to formal education, complex problem solving, literacy, and abstract reasoning. Across many generations, those skills were trained consistently, but for some reason today, the education looks entirely different. Suddenly attention is fragmented, information can’t be absorbed, memory is treated like cloud storage, and reading is practically nonexistent.

The Lord your God is in your midst...

The Lord your God is in your midst,
    a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
    he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.

Bombshell Report Links Rashida Tlaib to Terrorist Groups  "Through public endorsement, co-sponsorship, and amplification, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has consistently engaged with a range of organizations known to maintain operational or ideological ties to terrorist networks," the report details. "Tlaib has engaged with and disseminated the messaging of these groups and has shared related content on social media platforms, has participated in events organized by these groups, and has referenced their terminology and conceptual frameworks in official congressional communications."

Florida Lawmaker Randy Fine Drops the Truth Bomb the Media Won’t Touch: 'Stop Calling It Radical Islam — It’s Mainstream Islam'   He pointed to the normalization of Sharia culture and supremacy ideology across Europe, warning America is being marched toward the same fate...

'He Will Not Be the Last': CAIR Celebrates Judge Inside Florida Capitol   As outlined in a sermon by CAIR Leader Nihad Awad, the goal is not short-term activism. It is permanent placement. The stated target is a pipeline of thousands of mosques producing recruits, with a long-term goal of tens of thousands of lawyers, journalists, filmmakers, and professors, and even “a Supreme Court judge.”

Mamdani Turns NYC into Wasteland of Corpses and Trash The city hasn’t had trash pickup for a third of Mamdani’s term. It’s also had a homeless death against every other day he’s been in office. Zohran Mamdani did promise to transform New York City, but few expected him to make it a frozen wasteland full of corpses and trash in one month.

Over 600 Arrested in California Human Trafficking Sting A tip about a suburban home in California led to a statewide human trafficking takedown, rescuing nearly 20 children and resulting in over 600 arrests

Satanist Named ‘Pagan‘ Arrested Over Plans to Shoot Up Florida Church  HCSO noted that Pagan “had access to weapons and was planning to conduct a mass shooting at a church near his home in Wimauma.”
    FOX 13 News pointed out that HCSO also indicated Pagan “was linked to a nationally recognized neo-Nazi satanic hate group known as the ‘Temple of Love.'

Democrats, lacking a positive agenda, bet on chaos, Trump hysteria, and media allies to spark a midterm backlash as Trump’s economic rebound gains steam.

Gutfeld Destroys the Democrats’ Voter ID Double Standard, and It’s Glorious   Gutfeld opened by zeroing in on the left’s most glaring contradiction. “You got to hand it to the Democrats,” he said. “On one hand, they think a child can handle the decision to lop off their genitals, but then on the other, they think black people can’t get a photo ID.”

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

So, what changed for the AMA and ASPS? The unstated answer is the verdict in New York. If there’s one thing that institutional organizations like the AMA are scared of more than being targeted by the woke mob, it’s lawsuits that will cost their members big money. Now that doctors have to worry about being sued for chopping body parts off healthy children and prescribing them drugs that will disfigure them for life, the “evidence” that we were all told supported child gender transitions has suddenly gone missing.

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.
        -Psalm 145:5-8

Anti-ICE Agitators Targeting Parishioners Outside Cities Church for Second Straight Sunday Nevertheless, barred by a police presence from entering Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, after their grotesque January 18 storming of a worship service over the pastor’s alleged affiliation with ICE, agitators continue to harass parishioners from outside the building as they come and go.

Anti-ICE Activism Represents The Suicide Of Western Civilization  Left-wing agitators think they are saints (and future martyrs), but the prophetic Burnham could perceive what they truly were: men and women who, schooled in an ideology of self-hatred of their own culture and civilization, are deluded into hastening its demise. They are to be pitied, and prayed for.

Parents Beware…This Is How Islamization Infects Your Schools - Islamic Org Hands Out ‘Sharia’ Brochures, Qurans, Hijabs, And Candy To Students    Texas has a massive, growing Islamic problem, and kids are being targeted. On Monday, four Muslim women belonging to “Why Islam” were caught distributing brochures titled “Understanding Shariah,” Qurans, hijabs, and candy to students at Wylie East High in Wylie, Texas. It was all caught on video, and the high school immediately went into damage control mode, claiming they were investigating the unauthorized distribution of religious materials by an outside organization.

Virginia Begins Criminalizing Opposition to Islam   Why provide Islam with this privileged status? Because it makes Islam distinct, which is a step towards making it superior, and making Islam distinct and superior is the religious mission of all believing Muslims.
    This isn’t about making sure that attacks on Muslims are prosecuted, but about providing Islam with special privileges.

In addition to being consumed with left-wing politicking, the teachers’ unions inflict significant harm on the nation’s children.

AMA Now Says 'Evidence Is Insufficient' for Trans Surgeries  Reversing course does not exonerate any of these guys, of course. They should be sued into oblivion at the very least, and many should go to jail for the rest of their lives, along with being used for the sort of medical experiments they imposed on children. 
   But reversing course will at least stop the madness.

Christ will be master of the heart...

Christ will be master of the heart, and sin must be mortified. If your life is unholy, then your heart is unchanged, and you are an unsaved person. The Savior will sanctify His people, renew them, give them a hatred of sin, and a love of holiness. The grace that does not make a man better than others is a worthless counterfeit. Christ saves His people, not IN their sins, but FROM their sins. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.  —Charles Spurgeon

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

A Nation That Won’t Enforce Immigration Laws Isn’t A Nation At All  It may be that the next few years will decide whether America remains a sovereign nation or succumbs to subversion from within.Image

This parental inaction led directly to children being harassed and endangered. In front of their parents. It is in the bad times, not the good, that our true character shows itself. I hope this never happens to them, or anyone else, again. And if it does, I hope the next group of parents is more psychologically prepared to defend their children. Because the result of this attack and the lack of parental response is that the attackers will be that much more emboldened to do it again.

Meanwhile, British authorities continue to incarcerate native Brits for “mean Tweets.”  The “thought police” threw unknown Briton Lucy Connolly in prison for denouncing mass immigration after an Islamic terrorist murdered three young girls.  British authorities banned prominent Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek from entering the U.K. because her criticism of mass immigration was deemed “not conducive to the public good.”  And a heroic London bus driver was recently fired for risking his life to stop a thief and protect a passenger.
   The “future” that Britain is “importing” is one in which Islamic terrorists are celebrated, and native Brits get fired, harassed, or imprisoned.
   Europe has chosen abortion and suicide.  If America can’t learn from Europe’s death, America will soon die, too.

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

Where Islam gains power, the result is not spiritual renewal – but legal domination. Apostates are killed. Critics are silenced. Women are controlled. Minorities are taxed or erased. The vulnerable suffer most.
   And Western leaders, blind to the distinction between religion and rule, continue to fund, accommodate, and protect what they believe to be faith.
   They will discover – when it is too late – that the mosque was never just a church. And that Islam was never just a religion.

Who Is Behind the Anti-ICE Protests in Minneapolis?  Alex Pretti and Renée Good died needlessly on the streets of Minneapolis. They had been poorly trained in "ICE watching," the name that activists have given to the practice of blocking, impeding, harassing, and otherwise interfering with the execution of raids and other law enforcement actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE

New Poll Shatters Narrative: Voters Overwhelmingly Back Deportations and ICE  “Americans support deporting those in the country illegally by a [nearly] 2-to-1 margin, 61% to 34%.”

The Nephilim Debate Just Got a Boost From Ancient Egypt Naturally, there are those who want to womp-womp all over this news, claiming that there’s no archaeological evidence for “giants,” but the Egyptian papyrus merely describes people who are as tall as NBA players. It might not clear up all the mysteries of the Nephilim, but it’s always exciting to find other accounts that confirm or back up what the Bible says. Image

I am the Good Shepherd...

I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.  -John 10:14-16

My Lord Jesus Christ, Good Shepherd, who have shown Your very gentle mercy to us unworthy sinners in various physical pains and sufferings, give grace and strength to me, Your little lamb, that in no tribulation or anguish or pain may I turn away from You!  
-Francis of Assisi

Hey, Creatures, Leave Those Kids Alone: The Worst Form of Liberal 'Privilege' Yet  After reading that repulsive list of privileged Democrats, it won't surprise you to know that illegal immigrants who commit sexual assault, even against kids, are now a part of the Democrats' miscreant club and are frequently set free by some filthy, Marxist judge.

Soros Groups Sue to Stop Halt on Welfare-Dependent Immigrants Last month, Trump posted the welfare rates of immigrant groups living in the U.S., revealing the extent to which mass legal immigration is costing American taxpayers.
    Most notably, the data shows that more than 81 percent of migrant households from Bhutan are on welfare, as well as 75 percent of households from Yemen, 72 percent of households from Somalia, 71 percent of households from the Marshall Islands, 68 percent of households from the Dominican Republic, 68 percent of households from Afghanistan, and 66 percent of households from the Congo, among others.

The Danger of Leftist (and Muslim) Medical Professionals In the Hippocratic Oath, doctors also pledge that they will “do no harm or injustice” to their patients. These leftist and Muslim doctors and nurses have shown themselves incapable of that and should not be trusted to continue working in the medical field. And yes, there are numerous leftist and Muslim medical professionals who are competent, professional, sane and fair. But what is to be done about the others, and about the hatreds that make them think they’re righteous even as they are steeped in evil?

But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake...

But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.  -1 Peter 3:14-17

The more vigor you need, the more gentleness and kindness you must combine with it... All stiff, harsh goodness is contrary to Jesus.  -François Fénelon

Trump Launches $12 Billion Strategic Mineral Stockpile To Counter China; Rare Earth Stocks Jump    The project, known as Project Vault, is designed to reduce America’s dependence on China for rare earths and other strategically important metals. By creating a centralized reserve for civilian industries, officials hope to cushion companies against sudden shortages and sharp price swings that can disrupt production and strain finances. Image

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

UN on Brink of Financial Collapse, Says UN Chief   The major reason for the UN’s woes is that member states haven’t paid their dues. At the top of the list is the United States, which reportedly owes $2.2 billion in overdue and current assessments for the UN’s regular operating budget and another $1.8 billion for the UN “peacekeeping” operations budget. While refusing to exit the globalist entity completely, President Donald Trump’s administration has caused it significant harm, not only by withholding dues but by pulling out of several UN-tied organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), UNESCO, and many others.

WHO Just Ran A Simulation For The “Next Pandemic.” 31 Governments Took Part  The framing is notable. WHO did not describe the drill as preparation for a hypothetical scenario. It repeatedly referred to readiness for “the next pandemic.”

The analysis, published by Jason Richwine at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), reviews Census Bureau data on Afghan immigrants in the U.S. — an immigrant group that has exploded from just 22,000 in 1990 to almost a quarter of a million as of 2024.
  Most significantly, the Census data shows that almost all Afghan households with children are on publicly funded welfare — similar to that of Somali immigrant households with children in Minnesota, where 81 percent of such households are on at least one form of welfare.

Mamdani Is Already Trashing New York to Third-World Status...Almost a week after New York City got hit with over a foot of snow, the town of 8 million residents is still a mess  Homeless people are dying in the streets. And not only is the unplowed snow making basic transportation a challenge for city residents and visitors, but massive mountains of uncollected garbage are piling up, and Mamdani himself is a big part of the cause of the problem. 
   You still can’t walk on most sidewalks. Buses and taxis can’t navigate major streets and avenues. Residents describe a city that’s “paralyzed,” not by the weather, but by local government’s incompetence under Mamdani.

Boston Mayor Wu Claims ‘Every Single Human‘ on Earth Has ‘Legal Right‘ to Come to the U.S.  Texas Republican Rep. Brandon Gill, for one, ripped Democrats, saying, “Dems demand infinity immigration, then infinity welfare — all at Americans’ expense.”

It’s a tale of two First Ladies—and one revealing weekend.
    On one side stood Hillary Clinton, re-emerging from political exile to lecture Americans via The Atlantic—a publication whose readership now struggles to justify its own existence—about immigration and Christianity. In her essay, Clinton scolded the United States for enforcing immigration law, accusing the Trump administration of violating what she called Christianity’s “core teachings of dignity, mercy, and compassion.”

Saint Hillary Clinton Has a Moral Message for the MAGA Movement...believes that the “savage” MAGA movement must be destroyed root and branch   Most importantly, for all of Hillary’s talk about mercy and compassion, she never has any to spare for the victims of illegal migrant criminals, or any acknowledgment of the fact that pro-mass migration agitators, rather than being the Christlike apostles of love that she portrays them to be, are courting confrontations, often violent ones, with ICE agents, hoping to get a result they can use for propaganda purposes.

Nurses, Heal Thyself: Trump Derangement Syndrome Enters the Hospital   Yet Trump Derangement Syndrome has reached pandemic levels among a militant and increasingly visible cadre of health care professionals, infecting even those entrusted with others’ lives. Increasingly, a vocal minority of nurses and other health care workers - individuals granted extraordinary access and authority -- openly fantasize about harming political opponents. This is not merely unprofessional behavior. It is a profound ethical failure.

Detransitioner Wins $2M in Medical Malpractice Lawsuit    A growing group of young people who found out too late that "gender transitions" are anti-biological, unscientific, and excessively unhealthy are trying to hold the woke medical and political liars to account. Leftists try to ignore or sometimes openly attack these "detransitioners" because they expose the heartbreak and horror attendant on vain interventions to alter biological reality. One detransitioner just achieved a landmark victory in New York, however, according to multiple online reports.

Let’s be honest, there shouldn’t be any women’s or gender studies degrees at all in higher education. Such degrees are merely a product of neo-Marxist ideology, studying people as “classes” and adding in a huge dose of pure fantasy.
