Today I noticed some large bird footprints going across the front porch, through the snow, and over to my neighbors' back porch. Looking out the window to see what bird it is, I was stunned to see a plump, gorgeous bird that I've never seen before! Doing some research, it is a Red Legged Partridge, also known as a French Partridge. Totally not native to Canada, so who knows how it got here? It seems to be happily residing under the back porch step for now. @PattersonGlenFarm
*28:23-29* The farmer uses special tools to plant and harvest tender herbs so he will not destroy them. He takes into account how fragile they are. In the same way God takes all our individual circumstances and weaknesses into account. He deals with each of us sensitively. We should follow his example when we deal with others. Different people require different treatment. Be sensitive to the needs of those around you and the special treatment they may need.
*Isaiah 28:23-29 NIV* “Listen and hear my voice; pay attention and hear what I say. When a farmer plows for planting, does he plow continually? Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil? When he has leveled the surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? Does he not plant wheat in its place, barley in its plot, and spelt in its field? His God instructs him and teaches him the right way. Caraway is not threshed with a sledge, nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin; caraway is beaten out with a rod, and cumin with a stick. Grain must be ground to make bread; so one does not go on threshing it forever. The wheels of a threshing cart may be rolled over it, but one does not use horses to grind grain. All this also comes from the Lord Almighty, whose plan is wonderful, whose wisdom is magnificent.”
On a conference call with the Advisory Board of SavethepersecutedChristians.org with Frank Gaffney and Ambassador Sam Brownback speaking about the evil of the Chinese Communist Party in facial recognition AI technology. New advances in evil now track walking patterns, stress levels, ethnicity, along with other distinguishing characteristics. In America we need to prepare for the encroachment of dangerous technology targeting persecution and violation of basic human rights and Constitutional and religious freedoms. Also, more than 340 million of our Christian brothers and sisters live in places where they experience high levels of persecution and discrimination. That’s 1 in 8 Christians, worldwide. That is more than the entire population of the USA. Pray!

How do we see, discern, move, stay in rest and peace while we fight with faith in this season of increasing spiritual warfare? The Lord has us right where He wants us! Jesus is a lamp unto our feet. Step by step, trusting our Lord is vital for us to see and understand what's next. https://youtu.be/nueYEG_5xAY
A shallow understanding of God’s Word leads to a “woke” theology that pleases man and not God.
For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. - Galatians 1:10
Christian, discipline yourself to read and study God’s Word every day!
@KarlGessler a group of social elites conspired in private to breath life into their evil plan. A traiter was paid to hand over an innocent man who was convicted by an illegal trial held at night to hide from the eyes of witnesses. BUT the 'people' would soon get their say to bring justice to an unjust trial. when the time came for the 'people' to have the innocent man released... they cried out "crucify Him." defeated in court. disowned by society. defiled in media - it was clear that the innocent man lost and the guilty won. Except they didn't.
Liars never win. it is a temporal illusion.
Cheaters smile for only a moment and then the acid of their works eats the trophy of their glory.
Christians lose an election and gain a nation.
Christians lose a nation and gain a Kingdom.
In the face of loss - we stand
In the face of defeat - we stand
In the face of death - we stand
After doing all that we can do - WE STAND
I cheated and read the end of the Book...
We win!
