I Set My Hope on Jesus...

 

I Set My Hope on Jesus (Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing) 

 Matt Boswell, Matt Papa, Sing!

Verse 1

When this life of trials tests my faith,

I set my hope on Jesus.

When the questions come and doubts remain,

I set my hope on Jesus.

For the deepest wounds that time won't heal,

there's a joy that runs still deeper.

There's a truth that's more than all I feel;

I set my hope on Jesus.

Chorus

I set my hope on Jesus,

my rock, my only trust,

who set His heart upon me first;

I set my hope on Jesus.

Verse 2

Though I falter in this war with sin,

I set my hope on Jesus.

When I fail the fight and sink within,

I set my hope on Jesus.

Though the shame would drown me in its sea,

and I dread the waves of justice,

I will cast my life on Calvary;

I set my hope on Jesus.

Verse 3

Though the world call me to leave my Lord,

I set my hope on Jesus.

Though it offer all its vain rewards,

I set my hope on Jesus.

Though this heart of mine be prone to stray,

give me grace enough to finish.

Till I worship on that final day,

I set my hope on Jesus.

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing — Verse 3

Oh, to grace how great a debtor

daily I'm constrained to be!

Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,

bind my wand'ring heart to Thee.

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,

prone to leave the God I love;

here's my heart, Lord,

take and seal it,

seal it for Thy courts above!

Only those who try to live near God...

And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. -Luke 12:42-44

Only those who try to live near God and have formed the habit of faithfulness to Him in the small things of our daily life, can hope in times of need for that special light which shows us our path. To do as well as we can the job immediately before us, is the way to learn what we ought to do next.  -Evelyn Underhill

There Is No Such Thing As A Moderate Democrat Anymore  The DSA is also pushing to “demilitarize police departments, disempower police unions, and redirect funding to public services as steps toward fully abolishing the police and prison system.” The socialists want to abolish ICE, “legalize migration, grant amnesty for all immigrants regardless of status, provide a path to citizenship for all permanent residents, and end visa caps and quotas.”

Algerian police seize Bibles as 12 Christians arrested for holding non-Muslim service During the operation, police seized all Christian literature, mobile phones and identity cards of those present, said the sources, unidentified for security reasons. The women were released to be questioned the following morning, while the men were held until late at night, some until 3 a.m.

Thou only knowest what we need...

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. -Matthew 6:31-32

Lord, I know not what I ought to ask of Thee; Thou only knowest what we need; Thou lovest me better than I know how to love myself. O Father! give to Thy child that which he himself knows not how to ask... Teach me to pray; pray Thyself in me.  -François Fénelon

Why Trump’s Plan To Stop Noncitizens From Rigging The Census Might Work This Time  If implemented, millions of illegal aliens would no longer distort the political map. House seats and Electoral College votes would be divvied up based on population numbers reflecting the “We the People” our system exists to represent. The rule would neutralize foreign influence; eliminate the undue political power sanctuary jurisdictions have accrued through decades of mass illegal immigration; and restore the “one man, one vote” principle by ending the dilution of Americans’ voting power that has occurred through counting non-citizens in the population figures used to draw up districts.

Secretary Rollins on SNAP Fraud Fight: Trump’s USDA Has Moved Almost 6 million Off Food Stamps  Rollins said USDA found “250,000 people that are using dead people’s social security numbers in one state alone,” as well as “hundreds of fancy cars” associated with names receiving SNAP benefits. “But we have gotten, we have been able to root out so much already,” she said.

We ran the data on trans teen suicide panic — and found the claims are misleading Protecting children from transgender treatments does not increase suicide rates — and our data proves it.

   There’s no question that suicide is higher among children who believe they’re transgender, a heartbreaking reality that demands intervention. 

   Kids who assert they’re “born in the wrong body” typically suffer from serious mental-health issues, including depression and anxiety, that are themselves linked to suicide risk.

Blue States With Strong Teachers' Unions Are Terrible At Literacy Reforms   A 2026 analysis from the Progressive Policy Institute found a strong negative correlation between the political power of state teachers' unions and states' adoption of evidence-based early literacy policies. PPI Director of Education Policy Rachel Canter conducted the analysis, comparing union-strength rankings from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute against literacy-policy data from the ExcelinEd education advocacy group. At least eight of the ten states with the worst student literacy scores lean Democratic and have politically powerful teachers' unions. Only five of the worst ten are Republican, and one is a swing state.

Bishops, Evangelicals, and Conservatives Push Back on Canada’s Military Prayer Ban  Conservative defence critic James Bezan wrote on X that the new instruction was “a disturbing departure from Canada’s longstanding commitment to religious expression.”

   He accused the government of using the Armed Forces as a testing ground for progressive social experimentation and called the policy unnecessary and regressive. He said the directive excludes military members of faith, interferes with longstanding traditions, and infringes Charter-protected freedoms of religion and expression.

Hamas-Linked CAIR Forces Maryland School Board Member to Submit to Islamic Blasphemy Rules  Where are the lawyers? This was not a criminal case. It was extra-legal enforcement. No statute required the apology. No court ordered the visit. The First Amendment still covers the post. She was not prosecuted. She was processed. That is how a blasphemy norm arrives here — not as a bill titled Sharia, but as a resignation threat, a camera, and a press release.

Abdul El-Sayed Decries 'Disturbing' Breast Cancer Research Funding; Claims It’s a Disease that Affects People With 'Social Power and Privilege'  Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed believes that breast cancer should not be funded – the guy hates women, that’s the only conclusion you can come to with that attitude. He claims it’s a disease that affects people with “social power and privilege.” Evidently, women dying from breast cancer doesn’t matter to the Muslim Supremacist.

California Drags Pro-Lifers To Court For Crime Of ‘Offering Hope’ And Abortion Pill Reversal  The state’s argument exposes the deeper problem. Hope is welcome when it leads a woman toward abortion, but it’s subject to crippling fines when it helps her sustain her baby. Information is called empowerment when it supports abortion but “misconduct” when it makes continuing a pregnancy after starting an abortion possible. That is not protecting choice; it is enforcing a preferred choice.

FDA in 2020 knew its COVID jab monitoring system didn’t work, yet used it anyway  It appears they wanted to keep using the flawed system because they could use it as evidence the jab had no ill effects, when in truth other monitoring systems and doctors nationwide were finding the jab appears to cause significant heart and other health problems.

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life...

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? -Matthew 6:25-27

In laying off your burdens, therefore, the first one you must get rid of is yourself. You must hand yourself and all your inward experience, your temptations, your temperament, your frames and feelings, all over into the care and keeping of your God, and leave them there. He made you and therefore He understands you and knows how to manage you, and you must trust Him to do it. -Hannah Whitall Smith

US Space Force Confirms It Has Weapons in Orbit. Here's What They Could Include The United States has publicly acknowledged for the first time that it has weapons orbiting Earth, ending years of official caution about describing American satellites as weapons and raising new questions about how a conflict in space would be fought and constrained.

Mamdani Taps ‘Gay Communist’ for Senior Government Role: New Adviser Called for ‘Abolition of Police’ and ‘Undoing Capitalism,’ Condemned Gandhi as ‘Anti-Black Misogynist’  Afridi is only the latest in a string of oddballs, cranks, antisemites, and Lulu Lenins named into Mamdani’s orbit during his time as mayor.

   Mamdani's chief lawyer, Ramzi Kassem, previously represented al Qaeda. Mamdani's Brooklyn borough director, Álvaro López, called people ripping down flyers of Israeli hostages "heroes." Another hire, Drashti Brahmbhatt, has made extensive social media commentary over her hatred of white women. Mamdani's political guru, Morris Katz, attempted to include pictures of his own penis in a children's book about puberty. Mamdani's advance man, Mathis E. Roy Vigne, has made a name for himself by complaining about the quality of first-class airline travel on social media.

Karen Bass Feels Heat From Feds Over Millions in Stolen and Laundered ‘Homeless’ Funds  The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) laundered more than $75 million for charlatans, cheaters, and thieves, at least one of whom used more than $1 million of the more than $110 million in homeless funds he received to open a nightclub.

   And it's no wonder that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who's running for reelection, smelled trouble and quit her membership in and control over LAHSA before the feds announced indictments on Wednesday.

Village Votes to Secede from Britain in Protest of Migrant Camp 10x Bigger than Local Population   The symbolic vote — self-called independence referenda have no legal weight in the United Kingdom — is in response to the government’s revived plan to convert a former British Army garrison next to the village, Ordnance Depot Bicester, into a camp for newly-arrived self-professed refugees and other migrants. Officially, the camp would be for 1,256 male arrivals, but recently unearthed government planning documents state that capacity has at times been considered as high as 3,500, ten times the population of Piddington.

UK: Who exactly can wear a face covering? 

If someone who objects to the alleged gang rape of minors must reveal their faces, why should people who object to these objections be allowed to cover theirs? Why should ‘pro-Palestine’ marchers, or indeed Muslim women in the UK, be allowed to disguise themselves? It used to be that either the law applies to everybody or it applies to nobody. But so far as I can work out, our laws are now contingent on a person’s identity.

Feminism is Imploding...The collapse of the most corrosive ideology known to man–and woman–has begun For more than half a century – or more than a full century, depending on where one marks it – feminism was the tip of the spear of the cultural Marxist assault on Western civilization. In pursuit of Karl Marx’s explicit aim of the abolition of the family, feminism has wrought: the emasculation of our culture; the breakdown of the nuclear family, which has exacerbated and accelerated a breakdown of social order; and the genocide of untold millions of the unborn. It has put women in political power who have facilitated anti-white racism and the Islamization of the West. It has severed the sacred bond of mother and child, and driven the plunge of birth rates that is threatening the future of our civilization. It has poisoned, arguably irrevocably, male-female relationships and driven a generation or two of young men into a precariously reactionary resistance to committed relationships. It has created a literal psychosis among generations of women who have rejected their own nature and filled the baby-shaped holes in their lives with a hollow careerism and fanatical activism.

How sweet are your words to my taste...

      How sweet are your words to my taste,

    sweeter than honey to my mouth!

    Through your precepts I get understanding;

    therefore I hate every false way.

Your word is a lamp to my feet

    and a light to my path.

  -Psalm 119:103-105

There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual walk with God. Those only can comprehend it who practice and experience it; yet I do not advise you to do it from that motive.  -Brother Lawrence

In Massachusetts, Triple Murder Becomes a Women’s Rights Cause Depression is not a license. Exhaustion is not a license. Childbirth is not a license. Being a woman is not a license. A defendant who can send her husband out of the house, complete the act three times in succession, and later offer a diagnosis is not automatically a person who could not tell right from wrong. Juries are allowed to tell the difference between a break with reality and a theory offered after the bodies are found.

Leftists’ masks are coming all the way off — revealing the ugly truth   Nowhere in America is open racial hate as common as among the far leftists who dominate the Democratic Party.

  And sometimes the hate is purely political —  the type that leads people like Shelly Headen, a Democratic candidate for North Carolina’s state legislature, to post a picture of herself in front of the ovens at the Dachau concentration camp and caption it, “This is where Trump supporters belong.”

Dem Governor Hochul Pardons Migrant Felon to Stop His Deportation Mariano was convicted of second-degree assault in 2015 and detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in 2020 for his criminal record. He served time in prison and was marked for deportation. However, the Democrat governor’s pardon erased Mariano’s criminal record, nullifying the Supreme Court case and potentially protecting him from deportation.

Settlement prompts change at CA school district: allows opting out of LGBTQ+ related material  In May 2024, a fifth-grade teacher at La Costa Heights Elementary School in Encinitas, California, read a book titled My Shadow is Pink, which is about a little boy’s gender identity. The book talks about how the boy sees his shadow as pink. The boy then wears a dress to school, and his father then changes his own beliefs and also puts on a dress.

Canadian Christian doctor fined $28k for refusing to give ‘trans’ teen a puberty blocker  The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal ordered a Christian family doctor to pay $28,100 after declining to inject a trans-identifying 14-year-old with a hormone blocker because “doing so would go against his religious beliefs.”

   “Dr. Henry Ajaero, who has run a family practice in Delta since 2014, was ordered to pay the compensation in a Sept. 1 B.C. Human Rights decision, which found his conduct was discriminatory,” the CBC reported. In March 2021, he was asked to inject Lupron and stated that “he did not feel comfortable administering it” due to his religious beliefs and “because it is outside the scope of his practice.”

Who’s Orchestrating The AI-Hysteria Campaign?  We’re not conspiracy mongers here, but it sure looks as though big AI companies have teamed up with Democrats and the mainstream media, probably with an assist from Chinese interests, to embark on a textbook anti-competitive regulatory push.

The redeemed soul possesses all things in Christ...

God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.  And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”    -1 Corinthians 1:28-31 Image

The redeemed soul possesses all things in Christ. He is a complete Savior. He lacks nothing. Having Him we are saved to the uttermost; without Him we are utterly lost and undone.  -Abraham Kuyper

How a Generation Lost Its Common Culture 

We have fallen into the bad and unquestioned habit of thinking that our educational system is broken, but it is working on all cylinders. What our educational system aims to produce is cultural amnesia, a wholesale lack of curiosity, history-less free agents, and educational goals composed of content-free processes and unexamined buzz-words like “critical thinking,” “diversity,” “ways of knowing,” “social justice,” and “cultural competence.”

   Our students are the achievement of a systemic commitment to producing individuals without a past for whom the future is a foreign country, cultureless ciphers who can live anywhere and perform any kind of work without inquiring about its purposes or ends, perfected tools for an economic system that prizes “flexibility” (geographic, interpersonal, ethical). Excellent!

Vance: Over 870,000 Alleged COVID Fraudsters Banned From Federal Loans  “People who decided to steal from the American taxpayer, stole money that was supposed to go to small businesses and American workers. Well, we think it makes sense that if you were caught stealing from the American taxpayer, you shouldn’t be able to benefit from these loans anymore.”

Trump Admin Invokes Law to Boot Welfare-Reliant Foreigners. Mamdani Is Furious  The Feds are trying to deny or revoke visas and green cards for aliens who are on welfare, because if the aliens can’t support themselves and just expect us citizens to support them, why the heck should we have them here? Immigrants like my ancestors used to come to America looking for jobs and better work opportunities, but now it seems as if many of them come just for freebies. And Democrats rely on foreigners for cheap labor and election fraud, plus they also hate any restriction on the redistribution of wealth because that is how they keep people dependent on the government.

Trump DOJ completes nationwide crackdown on in-state tuition for illegal immigrants  “This is a simple matter of federal law: colleges cannot provide benefits to illegal aliens that they do not provide to U.S. citizens,” Shumate said. “This Department of Justice will not tolerate American students being treated like second-class citizens in their own country.”

Democrats now insist that importing welfare recipients is the American dream  Mayor Zohran Mamdani and state Attorney General Tish James are fighting to let noncitizen immigrants soak up every possible dime of welfare with no risk to their visa status because . . . well, because.

   The deranged duo is joining 21 other state AGs in suing the Trump administration for tightening up the “public charge” rules that require new Americans to stand on their own two feet.

U.S. Supreme Court to rule on home Bible studies, as local officials weaponize against gatherings  The American Center for Law and Justice has fought this battle several times: Can a government forbid a home-based Bible study because it is in a home, or because of the number of people attending, or another reason?

   And when a government successfully defeats a plan to have in-home worship, can it escape liability simply by claiming it never, really, finally, issued a rejection notice?

   That's the question pending now before the U.S. Supreme Court. Image

State Seizes Girl After Catholic Parents Refuse To Call Her A Boy   The Kutzkos are still in court. A school started a secret social transition. The state took the girl, isolated her from her faith, and now wants to inject testosterone. That is not safeguarding. It is the state substituting itself for the family.

   Any district that hides name and pronoun changes from parents should lose federal dollars until the policy is reversed. Parents - not counselors, not DCF, not activist charities - direct the upbringing of their children.

Netherlands Euthanizes Disabled 2-Year-Old Child 

A disabled 2-year-old child has been euthanized in the Netherlands, even though the toddler was not dying. But that didn’t stop Dutch officials from confirming that everything was done legally.

   A Dutch review committee has concluded that a doctor acted with due care in the country’s first euthanasia of a child under 12: a nearly 2-year-old with severe disabilities whose life was ended late last year.

   The child was almost 24 months old and could not communicate. The child did not — and could not — ask to die.

Do not be conformed to this world...

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Democrat Compares Herself To Jesus, MLK After Wishing Death On Trump Supporters  Headen, who is running to unseat Republican John Blust, then compared herself to Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King Jr., and Abraham Lincoln, suggesting that she was a martyr for the Democratic cause.

   “I’ve sacrificed myself just like Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross, and Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln and all the people that put themselves out there to sacrifice for our country,” she said. “If a few angry moments on social media are the end, then so be it. MAGA will keep winning if we continue with not standing up for what’s right.”

What Happens When We Elect People Who Hate America to Congress? This.  Yeah, elections sure do have consequences.

You crown the year with your bounty...

You crown the year with your bounty;

    your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.

The pastures of the wilderness overflow,

    the hills gird themselves with joy,

the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,

    the valleys deck themselves with grain,

    they shout and sing together for joy.

   -Psalm 65:11-13

Climbing the Stairs  

The attack that morning was fueled by hate — hatred of this country and of Americans and of the way we live, by men who had fed on a hateful ideology until it festered in them. They spent their final seconds loving their hate. Almost everybody else spent their final seconds loving something real. They loved the people they were about to leave and said so on the phone. They loved the people they were carrying down the stairs. They loved the strangers blinded by debris and lost in the stairwells whose names they would never learn. Hate started the day. Love won the day. And time renders that to memory and history. Image

   In her case, that meant a CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer.

Rising Anxiety Over Sharia Law’s Growing Influence in America, Echoing 9/11 Concerns and Skepticisms In recent discussions surrounding national security and the implications of Islamic law, one voice stands out with a troubling observation: the United States may be in a precarious position reminiscent of the days leading up to September 11, 2001.

Ex-Muslim Warns Islam’s Threat Is Much More Than Terrorism  Dan Burmawi remembers being a teenager in Jordan back when he was still a Muslim, excitedly celebrating the 9/11 attacks with his family. Muslims around the world did the same. After all, Islam is not just a religion; it is essentially a political state with ever-shifting borders, and while the different nations and factions of Islam will fight with each other, they still perceive any successful Muslim attack on Western civilization as a victory for all of them. Now Burmawi is Christian, but he is watching the same ideology from which he broke free take over Western nations.

Virginia School Bans Teachers From Blaming Islamists for 9/11  A prominent Virginia school district is facing criticism for guidance instructing teachers not to associate the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks with Islam or Muslims — prompting a retired Navy vice admiral who survived the attack on the Pentagon to accuse educators of watering down history.
