Does God have a personal will for our lives that we must discover on (search out) our own?

See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears. Hebrews 12:15-17

Joel may have figured this one out. Wow that is insightful. Social media is creating culture - it is raising children. It is a big part of the reason we need to aggressively oppose false teaching and grifters on platforms. If we do not, it will create more Andrew Tates. The fact is that male absenteeism and generally parent absence from children’s lives is creating some of the worst, violent people on the planet.
The divide on the Right is between men raised by fathers and men raised by an algorithm.

I’ve watched about 10 of Candace's cult episodes post-assassination. It’s a fascinating window into cult indoctrination. Watching the full videos is even more disturbing than the clips. Some of the cult tactics she uses: 1- She repeats herself constantly. Repeats words and phrases she wants to stick. She repeats them instead of letting them hang there where you might wonder ‘what’s the evidence of this?’ The evidence never comes, but she makes the statement again, and again, with more conviction…as if she showed you evidence. 2- She uses sarcasm, mockery and contempt probably 90% of the time now. Innuendo and implication delivered in sarcastic form. No evidence. But the tone tells you you’re stupid if you can’t see this. 3- Forced Teaming. She uses a lot of inclusive language so the cult feels like a home. Us, us, us, we, we, we. We will solve this. They can’t stop us. Etc. She elevates herself to cult leader status constantly, usually after several we and us statements. She likens herself to David, fighting Goliath. 4- She ends every show reading effusive praise about herself. You’re a hero! You’re our David! We must protect you at all costs! 5- She uses mystical knowledge that you just have to “trust her bro” about. She uses the phrase “I don’t know. But I know know.” Over and over. Even puts it on merchandise now. Advertising that none of this is backed by evidence. But she know knows! Ya know? She says Charlie came to her in a dream. Trust her bro. She uses this ghost Charlie to put words in Charlie Kirk’s mouth from beyond the grave. She refers back to it from time to time, adding to it and embellishing, when she wants to add extra authority to one of her attacks on people. She’ll attack their character simply because their husband was in the military for example (yes, this happened) and then back it up with ‘oh yeah and this was one of the people Charlie warned me about in the dream.’ 6- She pretends her life is in danger and makes reference to this in various ways, in every episode, which triggers the attack dog sensibilities of her most rabid cultists. She needs to be defended you see! 7-She actually puts other people’s lives in danger by targeting them and implying something nefarious that she never offers evidence for. She has done this to dozens of people, including non-public figures like that poor hoodie guy. She has done this to Charlie’s closest friends and even to his Pastors. Her biggest targets seem to be Seth Dillon and Josh Hammer though. She name drops them multiple times in almost every video. She brings them up constantly. She focuses the wrath of her increasingly unstable cult on these men and on Charlie’s friends, family, employees and Pastors. It’s like Orwell’s 2 minutes of hate but it’s over and over and over. Her cult essentially practices this kind of communal and focused hate of her perceived enemies with her. There’s a lot more that’s alarming, but that’s a good start.
Right on target Melissa!

I so appreciate how women like Jennifer are standing in the gap and fearlessly calling out this cancerous form of masculinity. That said, we need men to join the fight! Rise up men! Influencers like Tucker, Nick Fuentes, Benny Johnson… for that matter Candace Owen’s and obviously the Tates are spreading a divisive toxic form of conservatism and in the case of those who claim to be Christian’s - a heretical form of Christianity. Have nothing to do with them and call them out.
Any man supporting and promoting pimps like Andrew Tate and Groypers like Nick Fuentes are misogynists. Men like Tucker Carlson, Benny Johnson, and the Hodge Twins have demonstrated their utter lack of concern for the safety and dignity of women and girls by promoting men who openly disdain and mistreat women. You cannot be against domestic violence, sexual abuse, or the objectification of women and girls, and be a “big fan” of Andrew Tate, or any pornography for that matter. You cannot be concerned about the safety and dignity of women and children and promote Fuentes, who has said all women are “whores” who want to get beat up. So while these men — Tucker, Benny, and Tweedledee and Tweedledum — may paint themselves as pro-family, or even traditional family men, they are nothing of the sort. They admire men who lust, abuse, and/or brag about abusing women and girls.

The gospel is not something we ‘live out’: it’s the good news of what Christ has already done. Our task is not to perform the gospel but to proclaim it. Yes, our lives should reflect its power, but the message itself is meant to be preached, not acted. When we confuse the two, we shift the focus from Christ’s finished work to our imperfect efforts. I have two great articles that talk about this: 👉larksite.com/lark-blog/why-y… 👉heidelblog.net/2013/05/is-th… #Christianity #Faith #Gospel #BiblicalTruth #Love #Truth #Jesus #Bible #Christians

There are moral lines that go beyond political partisanship and must never be blurred, protecting children is one of them. The one-year mandatory sentence for possessing child sexual abuse material has been struck down, yet this government refuses to take action. Why is this government putting the rights of child predators before the dignity and safety of children?
If Doug Ford becomes the leader of the Conservative Party - I will vote for another party or not at all.
Dale is wrong men! Don’t be like Dale! Using his “logic” one could say that because men commit approximately 85-90% of homicides globally (UNODC data) and account for 80-95% of intimate partner homicides in heterosexual relationships - Therefore - men should not be intimate! Ban men from having any close relationships! He accuses women of lacking intelligence to make logical decisions while making strawman arguments that can just as easily be turned back on men. It’s primitive and unbiblical
Repeal the 19th Amendment and restore the household vote.
She’s right btw.
Based on the way he ripped @DineshDSouza, I’d expect a similar but much stronger reaction, because Tucker’s interview flattered Nick. Regardless, you can’t protect and build Turning Point by making the same mistakes you imagine Charlie might have made.

My heart breaks that this is controversial.
Those who view child sexual exploitation and abuse material must get jail time. Last week’s Supreme Court ruling was disgraceful. Conservatives have tabled a motion calling on the House to reintroduce the mandatory minimum sentence using the notwithstanding clause.
Pray for Canada 🇨🇦
I’ve been brought to tears. Sending you a big hug @AndrewLawton 🤍 Thank you so much for your strength and vulnerability. We are so lucky to have you.

Honestly, I have no issue with hell, punishment for sin makes total sense to me in light of the horrific sins I see in the world and the sin in myself. It’s grace and forgiveness that boggle my mind. That God would know our hearts fully and still seek to reconcile us.

“Cheer up now thou faint-hearted warrior. Not only has Christ travelled the road, but he has slain thine enemies. Dost thou dread sin? He has nailed it to his cross. Dost thou fear death? He has been the death of Death. Art thou afraid of hell? He has barred it against the advent of any of his children; they shall never see the gulf of perdition. Whatever foes may be before the Christian, they are all overcome. There are lions, but their teeth are broken; there are serpents, but their fangs are extracted; there are rivers, but they are bridged or fordable; there are flames, but we wear that matchless garment which renders us invulnerable to fire. The sword that has been forged against us is already blunted; the instruments of war which the enemy is preparing have already lost their point. You shall, it is true, often engage in combat; but your fight shall be with a vanquished foe. His head is broken; he may attempt to injure you, but his strength shall not be sufficient for his malicious design. Your victory shall be easy, and your treasure shall be beyond all count.” Charles Spurgeon

Get a job. Show up on time. Work hard. Obtain skills. Yes it’s hard, but if it was easy everyone would do it.

This world is broken. The good news is that our creator loves us and has a redemption plan in place for those who will accept his redemptive plan.
💯 thank you @conservmillen for this.
ALLIE BETH STUCKEY: THINK before making accusations “This isn’t a Netflix series. It’s not an Agatha Christie novel. You’re not watching a whodunit movie!” 🔥 “If you’re implicating a real person in a murder plot, [it better be] true and backed by hard evidence.” “The words we say not only affect real people’s lives— they carry weight in eternity.” @conservmillen

Necromancy is forbidden in Scripture. No exceptions. If you are communicating with what you think is a deceased loved one, you are probably talking with a demon. Accuracy does not mean it's from God. Listen to former Medium (now Christian) @DoreenVirtue explain.
