Christ Is Mine Forevermore

 
Christ Is Mine Forevermore 
CityAlight

Mine are days that God has numbered
I was made to walk with Him
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of kings
But mine is hope in my Redeemer
Though I fall, his love is sure
For Christ has paid for every failing 
I am his forevermore

Mine are tears in times of sorrow
Darkness not yet understood
Through the valley I must travel
Where I see no earthly good
But mine is peace that flows from heaven
And the strength in times of need
I know my pain will not be wasted
Christ completes his work in me

Mine are days here as a stranger
Pilgrim on a narrow way
One with Christ I will encounter
Harm and hatred for his name
But mine is armour for this battle
Strong enough to last the war
And he has said he will deliver
Safely to the golden shore

And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore
Come rejoice now, O my soul
For his love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is sure
Christ is mine forevermore

If we ever are to attain to true Divine Peace...

But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. -Romans 6:17-18

If we ever are to attain to true Divine Peace, and be completely united to God, all that is not absolutely necessary, either bodily or spiritually, must be cast off; everything that could interpose itself to an unlawful extent between us and Him, and lead us astray: for He alone will be Lord in our hearts, and none other; for Divine Love can admit of no rival.  -Johannes Tauler Image

Treasury traces SPLC to debanking of Christians after group dismissed it as conspiracy  A bulk of the organizations and individuals named in the SPLC’s “Extremist Files” are actually moderate conservative commentators, charities, and activists whose beliefs fit well within mainstream conservative positions.
-----------------------------------

The devil tempts us in many ways to turn away from God by sinful behaviour. However, his most subtle strategy is to lull a person into false assurance, so that they become inured to the Holy Spirit’s promptings to repentance. Cocooned in a doctrine of inclusion, and a belief in a God of love that overlooks unrepentant sin, the result is a soul resting in presumption, not genuine peace; a soul insulated against the conviction of the Spirit...

I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation...

I have told the glad news of deliverance
in the great congregation;
behold, I have not restrained my lips,
as you know, O Lord.
I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart;
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
from the great congregation.
-Psalm 40:9-10
 
I look upon all the world as my parish; thus far I mean, that, in whatever part of it I am, I judge it meet, right, and my bounden duty, to declare unto all that are willing to hear, the glad tidings of salvation.  -John Wesley

For here we have no lasting city...

For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.  -Hebrews 13:14-16 Image

The loving service which God sends His people into the world to render includes both evangelism and social action, for each is in itself an authentic expression of love, and neither needs the other to justify it.  -John Stott

In J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Return of the King, the concluding book of The Lord of the Rings, the Host of the West—outnumbered, weary, and deliberately marching into a trap—reaches the Black Gate of Mordor. Gandalf stands on the hill while the armies of Mordor surge. He lifts his arms and calls in a clear voice: “Stand, Men of the West! Stand and wait! This is the hour of doom.” The earth rocks. The Black Gate is hurled into ruin. The realm of Sauron ends because the Ring-bearer fulfilled the quest and because the Men of the West held the field at the decisive moment...
...The Host of the West was not promised victory without cost; it was required to stand at the moment when the opposing power could still be broken. The same choice confronts the West now. The hour is late, and the enemy is already inside the gates. Whether it becomes the hour of doom for our inherited order or for the forces of chaos and destruction depends on whether the Men of the West choose to hold the field.

American woman masterminds $6 million marriage fraud scheme, Department of Justice says  An American woman living in Massachusetts has been accused by the Department of Justice of arranging sham marriages to help her clients seek green cards and U.S. citizenship.
   Jennifer Gonzalez, a U.S. citizen, collected up to $40,000 per marriage and arranged as many as 20 per year over the last decade, according to Leah Foley, the U.S. attorney for the Massachusetts District.

Consider the extraordinary contradiction of so-called sanctuary policies. Politicians proclaim their compassion for undocumented immigrants while adopting rules that can prevent local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities when dangerous offenders are already in custody. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) must sometimes pursue those individuals in the community, where innocent people are far more likely to become entangled in enforcement operations.
   A policy advertised as protecting the innocent can instead shield the guilty, complicate law enforcement, and expose the innocent to greater danger.
   That is not compassion. It is a failure to distinguish between people who deserve our sympathy and those who threaten public safety.

“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word..."

Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. -John 14:23

It is out of the question to be one with Him in any other way than in the way of nature, and character, and life. Unless we are Christ-like in our thoughts and our ways, we are not one with Him, no matter how we feel.  -Hannah Whitall Smith

Midterms Integrity Threat: DHS Warns Voting Machines Contain Components Made in China  Mullin wrote that “voting machines with components manufactured by foreign adversaries introduce significant security risks.” He explained that “malicious actors could potentially compromise election infrastructure at any stage of the supply chain, even before the machines are assembled or deployed. If a component is tampered with during manufacturing, it could serve as a point-of-entry for hackers, allowing for the possibility of synchronized attacks across multiple machines and jurisdictions.” Image

A Pollster Just Admitted Faking Its Numbers, and The Fallout Is Huge!  Without a doubt, a fake poll can affect an election. It can stop a candidate from raising money, boost another candidate, or cause a party to invest in a place it otherwise wouldn’t. And it can lead voters to think the result is already decided before any ballot has been cast.

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

Knox encouraged Christians to think about their own sphere of influence as evidence from the Evangelical Alliance’s Finding Jesus study suggests that large numbers of people are finding their way to faith through friends, family members or other Christians they know personally, more than any church pastor or professional evangelist.
   The “most significant barrier” is a lack of personal relationships with those outside the Church, he said, pointing to 43% of Christians in a 2022 study who said they did not know a non-Christian well enough to invite them to their church. He encouraged churches to invest in friendship and in training members of the congregation to share their faith.

There has been a growing movement claiming that Christianity calls for a certain kind of masculinity, protesting against a perceived feminisation of the faith. Is there any grounds for this? What kind of language do we find in the New Testament?
   This article explores the issues around Paul’s language ‘act like men’ in 1 Cor 16.13; digs into its Old Testament origins; relates it to Paul’s other language about discipline and struggle; and teases out the pastoral implications for all of us.

Promoting actual “religious” liberty, even amidst other religions, does not mean elevating falsehoods. Christianity can be freely proclaimed as the one true religion if citizens are allowed to freely adhere to it. Such an understanding of religious liberty at all levels of government would go a long way toward promoting the prosperity that, as Washington told us, religion and morality support.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced Tuesday that it has corrected records for nearly 15% of all active Social Security numbers (SSN), adding missing death and citizenship data as part of the Trump administration’s drive to curb benefits fraud.
   The agency called it the most comprehensive cleanup of the Social Security Number database in its 91-year history. The corrections touched roughly 330 million U.S. citizens and nearly 390 million total records. SSA laid out the figures in a statement released Tuesday.

Why, All of a Sudden, Is the Catholic Church Benching Its Most Visible Exorcist?  Denver Archbishop James Golka has directed Fr. Chad Ripperger, the 61-year-old exorcist, to go silent for at least the next year, in the wake of some pretty significant awareness-building the priest has been doing lately.
  More to the point, and without much public explanation, Golka has restricted Ripperger from giving any public speeches, doing any media interviews, drafting any online content, and he has instructed the priest to cancel any appearances he has planned.

UN Climate Panic Rests on False Scenario and Buried Past  The U.N. fabricated an emergency, using a scenario its own modelers now call implausible, employing a baseline estimated rather than observed, and erasing warm eras that ancient farmers, traders, and travelers lived through. That is not science, but stagecraft performed for power and self-enrichment as it made the rest of the world poorer.

The Lord is good to those who wait for him...

The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
-Lamentations 3:25-26

Do not be afraid of silence in your prayer time. It may be that you are meant to listen, not to speak. So wait before the Lord. Wait in stillness. Wait as David waited when he “sat before the Lord.” And in that stillness, assurance will come to you. You will know that you are heard; you will know that your Lord ponders the voice of your humble desires; you will hear quiet words spoken to you yourself, perhaps to your grateful surprise and refreshment.   -Amy Carmichael

It’s about people who want to destroy the West.
Period.
We know them by their flag. It’s not the French flag. It’s not even the flag of communism. It is the flag of violent third-worldism and hatred of the West.
It is the Palestinian flag. And it is everywhere. Image

VD Hanson: The Deep Midterms: The midterms are a fundamental choice over America’s economic future, national identity, immigration, energy, and Western civilization   Rarely in American history have the two parties been so far apart or the choice between them so stark. In brief, Islamist-sympathizing socialism is on the ballot against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism.

Over 300K visas revoked so far in Trump’s second term, State Department announces  A State Department official said that the revocations were done as a consequence for criminal activity, threats to public safety or immigration violations such as fraud or misrepresentation.
   At least 4,000 visas were yanked from foreign nationals “who engage in or facilitated birth tourism,” the official noted.

The New Bill That Might Be Trump 2.0’s Biggest Accomplishment  Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering a bill called the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act. That isn’t a very descriptive name, but the author of a fine Substack called Energy Talking Points has a better one — he calls it “Freedom-to-Build legislation,” and says that it’s the biggest attempt at permitting reform that the United States has made in 46 years.
   One weird thing about this law is that it’s supported by pro-business and libertarian think tanks, like the Cato Institute, and also by a lot of left-wing NGOs like the Citizens’ Climate Lobby. How could such an odd alliance come together? Well, the short answer is that it involved some hardball politicking by an administration that takes its job a lot more seriously than any previous Republican administration of my lifetim

Elissa Slotkin’s threats to prosecute conservatives moves America closer to civil war  Treating political opposition as a crime is wrong. It’s unAmerican. And it’s dangerous. 
   Slotkin should apologize, and she should be censured by the Senate. 
   Opposition isn’t a crime. But tyranny is.

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

On November 3, Virginia voters will decide whether to amend the state constitution to establish a fundamental right to reproductive freedom, including abortion. Virginia already permits third-trimester abortions when continuing the pregnancy poses a serious threat to the mother’s life or health. What the amendment would change is the legal standard. Instead of requiring three physicians to certify a substantial and irremediable threat to health, the amendment would protect abortions that a single physician considers medically indicated to protect physical or mental health, without defining a minimum level of impairment. It would also place these protections in the Virginia Constitution, making them much harder for future lawmakers to change. Image

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

Of course, the ultimate nemesis of woke is Donald Trump. One of the many reasons they detest him is that he simply doesn’t care what they think; to them, that’s a hate crime. The power of not caring is our atomic bomb, and this guy is Harry Truman. Nothing makes them madder than people who either ignore them or laugh at them, and Trump does both. You saw how mad they got when that blubbery behemoth started running his/her/its mouth at his rally the other day and got dragged out. Trump called the creature “fat,” and Woke 2 nearly had a stroke because not only did Trump defy them, but what he said was true. Remember, truth is to a wokester as garlic is to a vampire.
  And you can do it too. You don’t need to submit to these weirdos. You can defy them. Never care. Laugh at them. They think they’ve seized the moral high ground when they call you racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, fat-phobic, whatever. Well, call in an airstrike on that high ground. They’ve got nothing. There’s literally nothing they can do to you except cry more, and it’s funny when they cry.

Survey finds 45% of students say violence is justified if it stops 'hate speech'  The Buckley Institute's 2026 undergraduate survey also found students prefer socialism to capitalism and that 22 percent say America deserved the Sept. 11 attacks.

The federal government has intensified efforts to curb rampant sexual abuse of students in the nation’s schools and to end the despicable practice of “passing the trash.”

Admission to selective schools should be based on academic merit and achievement, not on race. But that's not something progressives believe. They are going to have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into treating students based on their scores rather than their skin color.

"And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.”

And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.” -Matthew 11:4-6 Image

Thou didst call, and cry aloud, and break through my deafness. Thou didst blaze forth, and shine, and scatter my blindness. Thou wert fragrant, and I drew in my breath, and pant for Thee. I tasted, and now I hunger and thirst. Thou didst touch me, and I burned for Thy peace.  -Augustine

Government Buildings Torched As French Riots Reach the 'Point of No Return'  In France, more than half a million people poured into the streets as mobs of radical left rioters, students, labor unions, and antifa thugs rampaged through historic districts, burning government buildings and bringing the country to a "point of no return," according to Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu.

Report: Marseille Rioters Burned Jewish-Owned Shops, Left Muslim-Owned Ones Untouched  No country that ever welcomed in large numbers of Muslims has escaped the fate of becoming a sharia dictatorship. Not only do Muslims believe that robbing and killing infidels is praiseworthy, but they also belong to a religion incapable of creating or building up. Islam is very much a religion of destruction and tyranny. The woke leftists in France who thought they were so open-minded by welcoming in the Muslims didn’t realize how suicidal their policies were.

When Does Religious Belief Become Hate Speech in California?  Consider two employees at a California business. One is a Christian who says their church teaches marriage is between a man and a woman. The other is Muslim and expresses the same religious conviction.
   A colleague objects, calling the statements humiliating. Would a trainer treat both remarks alike? Would either amount to unlawful harassment without threats, repeated targeting, or mistreatment? Nothing in AB 1803 supplies that practical distinction. The answers depend partly on how its lessons are written and administered.

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth..."

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. -Matthew 6:19-21

The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One. Many ordinary treasures may be denied him, or if he is allowed to have them, the enjoyment of them will be so tempered that they will never be necessary to his happiness. Or if he must see them go, one after one, he will scarcely feel a sense of loss.   -A.W. Tozer
