I have NOT been vaccinated.
Go ahead and gasp in shock. I will wait.....
I am thinking about getting vaccinated.
NOW the other half of the room can gasp in shock.
I await ALL of your article links informing me how uninformed I am.
The truth is, I have spent the entire pandemic traveling the world. This year, in 2021, I have been on a plane flying to a different country about every week. I have been pretty irresponsible - speaking in large groups, hosting illegal meetings, not wearing a mask, hugging, shaking hands, licking door knobs - you know the usual.
I have also been tested more than anyone reading this post.
Let's be honest - there will a huge group of people celebrating when I finally get COVID.
But after traveling around the world, experiencing the lockdowns in China, US, and Europe as well as enjoying the relative freedom of movement in Sudan, Iraq, and Sweden - I have a few opinions.
You asked for them. Now you got them.

This is why we started DingDash.
In fact our new tag line is going to be:
DingDash - because we didn't help the Taliban kill people.

Here in ancient Babylon, it hits me why the Tower of Babel NOT ONLY went against God's first command, BUT was a pre-emptive strike against the Great Commission.

This could also be Sweden (the polite version) vs Finland. I hope you don't understand the cussing. 🙊 But this makes me laugh anyway... The Finnish language sounds harsh and straightforward, and there is a lack of polite words like "please". It's not only the language, but even the mentality. But a Finn transformed by God has a lot of useful "sisu" ("described as stoic determination, tenacity of purpose, grit, bravery, resilience, and hardiness...")

Do you think the cultural war against gender is new?
NO! the Communist Party in China launched massive campaigns saying that there were NO differences between men and women in the 1950s. It was ALL just a social construct of the male patriarchy.
Sound familiar?
When this ideology was embraced in China, the results were deadly

@sinbach Eugene Bach is a Christian and former Marine sniper. (You know him, Ding-Dash family!) This militant description might seem like a contradiction to many Christians, but should it? Eugene joins me on this week's podcast to share about the fight that every man should have within himself.

Member of the Belgian Parliament declares war against against Islamic oppression of women
Hijab demonises the female body & philosophy behind it doesn’t recognise freedom for women
Millions of women are fighting to throw it off, at the risk of their lives, in order to regain their freedom and dignity

Jesus never asks you to do something that He is not willing to do Himself. After all, Jesus said that He is “with us always, even to the end of the age.”
Always means always.
God told the Israelites that He “humbled them” and “tested them” in the wilderness by letting them go hungry and then feeding them mana from heaven that He might make them understand that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. (Deuteronomy 8:3)
Does this seem like harsh parenting?
Consider that Jesus also went into the desert while fasting (Matthew chapter 4). Jesus also went hungry and lived on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
True leaders lead through example and sacrifice. True leaders share in the sufferings of the people they seek to lead. Thank God that He is Jesus, the Lord of all and the servant of all.
I just need to brag on the most wonderful nation of Sweden!
I didn't need a covid test to board the flight to Sweden. I didn't need proof of vaccine. I was allowed to take off my mask upon arrival.
Regardless of your views, I fly almost every week and have easily spent between $12-15,000 USD on covid tests and it has been a nightmare.
What a joy and absolute privilege to travel to Sweden!
Love this country!
