A Georgia pastor has gone viral after a sermon in which he urged Christians to pray for Donald Trump, saying he believes God is “using” the president in ways that may be difficult for people to understand.
Otha L Turnbough, pastor of Lionheart Church in Georgia, told congregants not to speak negatively about the president, but instead to pray for him, emphasizing that God often works through unexpected and controversial figures.
“God is using that man outside your understanding,” Turnbough said. He encouraged listeners to look to the Old Testament, where God used unlikely leaders and prophets to confront evil and carry out judgment, arguing that similar biblical patterns can be seen today.
Turnbough suggested that while some of Trump’s actions provoke strong reactions, they should be viewed through a spiritual lens rather than an emotional one. He told the congregation that when God moves to judge evil, the individuals He uses are often misunderstood or viewed as unconventional. #Trump #trumpadministration
I see people living as if they expect to live here forever, building, digging in, fortifyng themselves, perparing for many years, when, if the truth could be seen, a few short months are all that are left.
A story from an unnown source; a prosperous man was stricken by disease one day in his office. He was placed in the hospital, where there appeared before him a vision of a stranger, a stranger seemingly from another world. The stranger said, “I am Death, and I have come for you.” “Oh,” cried the ill man, “I am not prepared to die. I cannot die now! Give me one more chance. I promise to prepare for you, and to be ready the next time you call.” Strange to say, Death took him at his word and gave him another chance. He improved and was soon back in his office and at his work. Like hundreds before him, with the return of good health came the old habit of rejecting the Christ. He failed to keep his promise. A few weeks later he was again stricken with disease, and aain was placed in the ambulance and taken to the hospital, where he was the second time approached by the stranger. “I am Death,” said the stranger, “and I have come for you.” “But,” cried the patient, “I am not ready for you. I cannot die now. Give me one chance more. I promise to be properly ready next time you come.” But it was too late. Death had come this time to take him. Certainly Death is coming for us all. For a season we can stay the grim hand, but for a season only. All too soon he will come to call for us and will not be denied.
The next world is our forever home, choose carefully which it will be; the one with Jesus the Christ or the one without Him.
BREAKING: A New York Post report says U.S. intelligence briefed President Donald Trump that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, may be gay a stunning allegation that could shake the Islamic Republic. In Iran, homosexuality is punishable by prison or even death under the regime’s strict laws. If the intelligence claims are true, it would expose breathtaking hypocrisy at the very top of Tehran’s leadership. A regime that lectures the world about morality may now be facing uncomfortable questions about its own ruler. The world is watching as this extraordinary controversy unfolds.
It will literally take decades to clean up the mess this man, his administration, and cabal post-presidency caused to the world and this country. Purposeful and evil. Race relations setback years and distrust created amongst Americans. Sick.
And it looks like Dick Cheney was heavily involved also.
Hezbollah chief Warns expanded ‘war’ possible: they have already attacked Israel. Their mindset is to attack and destroy Israel no matter want Hamas to get all the glory from allah.
Islamofascists want to kill all the Jews and Americans for allah, the god of death, and that is why they’re invading the U.S. via Biden’s open border.
Our enemies smell weakness and that is why they are on the march.
Jordan Peterson has become a voice of reason in an age of otherwise insanity. His books have been bestsellers. His podcasts, interviews, and live debates have kept listeners glued to seats, absorbing every word. Peterson himself often tearfully recounts instances in which people have approached him just to say how he’s changed their lives. But now, a group of people he has dedicated years of his life to will no longer have the kind of access to his calm, collected, measured wisdom, for he’s decided to resign from his position at the University of Toronto.null
In a column for the National Post, Peterson outlines exactly why he has chosen to leave the academy: the diversity, inclusion, and equity (DIE) disease that has infected the entire institution. He writes that because of the DIE insanity that grips the academy, his “heterosexual white male graduate students […] face a negligible chance of being offered university research positions.” And, if his students manage to conquer that hill, because of his philosophical positions, they might still be rejected, as his presence in their education and development as scholars has somehow tainted them. “These facts rendered my job morally untenable.”null
The DIE, he explains has destroyed several areas of the academy. The DIE push to meet racial, ethnic, and gender quotas ensures less than qualified candidates are accepted. “This means we’re out to produce a generation of researchers utterly unqualified for the job,” and the “death of objective testing” all but makes this much certain.
For faculty, he describes them as “craven,” lying and paying homage to the DIE overlords in statements for the purpose of receiving research funding, “further corrupting what is already a stunningly corrupt enterprise.” What’s more, Peterson writes, these spineless academics teach their students to do the same.
And if the behavior of the individual professors was not bad enough, Peterson explains that “the accrediting boards for graduate clinical psychology training programs in Canada are now planning to refuse to accredit university clinical programs unless they have ‘social justice’ orientation.”
The universities will be required to prime students to become leftist activists or be denied accreditation.
“Similar moves are afoot in other professional disciplines, such as medicine and law. And if you don’t think that psychologists, lawyers and other professionals are anything but terrified of their now woke governing professional colleges, much to everyone’s extreme detriment, you simply don’t understand how far this has all gone.”
All of this is to say that the academy is an institution rotten to its core, gripped by the venomous tentacles of the DIE monster.
“We are now at the point where race, ethnicity, “gender,” or sexual preference is first, accepted as the fundamental characteristic defining each person (just as the radical leftists were hoping) and second, is now treated as the most important qualification for study, research and employment. Need I point out that this is insane.”
Before closing his column, Peterson lashes out in righteous anger at those making this takeover possible.
“[T]his is on you Professor. Cowever cravenly in pretence and silence. Teaching your students to dissimulate and lie. To get along. […] CEOs: signalling a virtue you don’t possess and shouldn’t want to please a minority who literally live their lives by displeasure. […] Musicians, artists, writers: stop bending your sacred and meritorious art to the demands of the propagandists…”
I think it’s safe to say that the University of Toronto has lost an invaluable member of the faculty, and the professoriate at large has lost one of the last warriors willing to fight for what they are too cowardly to fight for themselves.
Perhaps if more professors had Peterson’s stones, the universities wouldn’t have anyone left to push their nonsense, and, just maybe, they might start changing, but this is far too much to ask, I suppose.
For now, the universities continue to prove to be garbage heaps of terrible ideas, substandard scholarship, and a limiting worldview detrimental to all those who choose to walk through the doors, and Jordan B. Peterson will no longer be participating in it.
“He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind. And the wind is rising.”
I look forward to seeing what Peterson will be doing with all his free time. I love his books, and if you haven’t read them, you should.
