Martin Luther King Jr. didnโ€™t just fight for civil rights โ€” he stood with the Jewish people and he stood with Israel.

He called out antisemitism when others stayed silent. He warned the world: โ€œWhen people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews.โ€

MLK knew that real justice doesnโ€™t play favorites. You canโ€™t fight racism and ignore Jew-hate. You canโ€™t claim to love peace and deny Israelโ€™s right to defend itself.

Today isnโ€™t just a day to post quotes, itโ€™s a day to choose between light and darkness.
Stand with truth. Stand with courage. Stand with Israel, like Dr. King did. #MLKDay

Van Zant - "Awesome God" - Official Music Video

From the album,

"Always Look Up"

"Awesome God" Lyrics:

Written by: Johnny Vanzant, Donnie Vanzant, Carl Lindquist

I see it in your face
I hear it in your voice
Yeah, somethingโ€™s happening
Oh, to you โ€“ Yeah, to you
His spiritโ€™s jumping on you
I can see it coming through
Go spread the word of Godโ€™s love
Oh, you canโ€™t hold back
No, you canโ€™t hold back
Shower the world with His truth
Teach the children well
Go tell them of salvation
โ€˜Bout the good news
Oh, the good news

Our God (Our God) is an awesome God
Heโ€™s an awesome God
Oh, an awesome God
Our Lord (Our Lord)
Oh, Heโ€™s coming back
Yeah, Heโ€™s coming back
Oh, Heโ€™s coming back
For me and you

Iโ€™m gonna follow you, my Lord
For the rest of my days
I know you died for all of us
Youโ€™re every breath I take
I want to tell the world my story
And how I gave my life to you
I prayed the sinnerโ€™s prayer, Lord...

โžก๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅI watched a woman break down in regret, and it cut deep.๐Ÿ’”โฌ‡๏ธ

๐ŸŸกYears ago, a Christian man proposed to her. He told her she didnโ€™t have to grind herself into the ground. She could build a home. Raise children. Be covered. Be protected. Be cherished. She was offended. Feminism told her that offer was an insultโ€ฆ that dependence was weaknessโ€ฆ that partnership was oppression.

โžก๏ธShe chose the lie.

๐ŸŸกYears later, the tears came. Not tears of angerโ€ฆ tears of realization. She had everything feminism promised and nothing it could sustain. No family legacy. No peace. No covering. Just exhaustion, resentment, and the haunting knowledge that the door she slammed shut never reopened.

๐ŸŸกThis is what liberal feminism never shows women.
It canโ€™t love you.
It canโ€™t protect you.
It canโ€™t age with you.
It canโ€™t hold you when reality finally speaks.

๐ŸŸกIt teaches women to despise the very men willing to sacrifice for themโ€ฆ then leaves them alone to explain why fulfillment never arrived.

๐ŸŸกAs a counselor, Iโ€™ve seen this story repeat itself over and over. Feminism doesnโ€™t free womenโ€ฆ it isolates them. It trades covenant for applause, legacy for ego, and then disappears when the bill comes due.

โžก๏ธGodโ€™s design wasnโ€™t oppression.
It was provision.
And too many women were lied to before they were old enough to see the cost.

โžก๏ธThat regret I saw wasnโ€™t political.
It was spiritual.๐Ÿ™

โžก๏ธAnd it was devastating.๐Ÿ˜”

Father in Heaven,

Holy and righteous in all of Your ways

We confess that we do not always make the most of our thought time

We often allow our minds to drift away into areas we shouldn't explore

We will occasionally get too focused on things that are inconsequential

We want our mind and our hearts more in tune with You

Your Word

Your will

And Your way

Give us true wisdom

Enlightened by Your Spirit to see, know, absorb and contemplate the things that are closest to Your heart

In Jesus' name

Amen

"Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you"

~ 1 Peter 5:7

"Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved"

~ Psalm 55:22

Do not carry your burdens in your own strength

Lay your burdens at the Feet of Jesus Christ and trust Him

He will give you the Grace, Strength, Wisdom and Courage to deal with your problems

He knows every battle you fight

Every area you are weak in and broken

Every burden you carry

And every hardship you face

His Eyes are fixed upon you

Doubt not His Grace because of your hardship

But believe that He loves you as much in seasons of trouble

As in times of happiness

Part 2 continues...



The battles, burdens and hardships...

He has allowed in your life...

Have a purpose

Through your hardship...

He is training u to be a man of God

He is strengthening your soul

And lifting your spirit upward towards eternal things

While separating you from the things of this world

He is working things out for your good

Jesus' Hands were pierced for your Redemption

And you shall surely feel that same Hand comforting you

Anxiety makes us doubt God's lovingkindness...

And thus our love to Him grows cold

We feel mistrust

And thus grieve the Spirit of God

So that our prayers become hindered

Our consistent example marred

And our life one of self-seeking

Thus want of confidence in God leads us to wander far from Him

But if through simple faith in His Promise...

We cast each burden as it comes upon Him

And are "careful for nothing"

Because He undertakes to care for us

It will keep us close to Him

And strengthen us against much temptation

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee"

~ Isaiah 26:3

Make God your Strength

And fight in His Strength

Not your own

It is when you are weak that you are really strong

Because God's Strength is manifested in your weakness

And His Grace is sufficient

Make God your Refuge

And your Hiding Place


Do not worry yourself

Thirsty and Thankful

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.

Psalms 42:1
โ€œ(To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.) As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.โ€

Psalm 42:1-5

Two friends and I were checking off a bucket list itemโ€”hiking the Grand Canyon. We wondered if we had enough water as we started out our hike, and it ran out fast. We were completely out of water with still a ways to go to reach the rim. Panting, mixed with praying, set in. Then we rounded a corner and what we maintain as a miracle happened. We spotted three water bottles tucked in a cleft in the rock with a note: โ€œKnew youโ€™d need this. Enjoy!โ€ We looked at each other in disbelief, whispered a thank-you to God, took a couple of much-needed sips, and then set out on the last stretch. Iโ€™ve never been so thirstyโ€”and thankfulโ€”in my life.

The psalmist didnโ€™t have a Grand Canyon experience, but itโ€™s clear he knew how a deer acts when thirsty and possibly scared. The deer โ€œpantsโ€ (Psalm 42:1), a word that brings to mind thirst and hunger, to the point where if something doesnโ€™t change, youโ€™re afraid you might die. The psalmist equates the deerโ€™s degree of thirst to his desire for God: โ€œso my soul pants for you, my Godโ€ (v. 1).

Like much-needed water, God is our ever-present help. We pant for Him because He brings renewed strength and refreshment to our weary lives, equipping us for whatever the dayโ€™s journey holds.

Reflect & Pray

When have you been intensely thirsty or hungry, and scared? Why should you be longing for Godโ€™s presence?

Loving God, thank You for the renewed strength I experience as You fill my life. Forgive me for looking to any other source but You.

~Our Daily Bread

John Brown (1800โ€“1859)

Devout evangelical Christian abolitionist shaped by strict Calvinist upbringing and early conversion. He saw slavery as a grave sin against God and Scripture (e.g., Exodus on justice for the oppressed), viewing himself as Godโ€™s instrument to end it.

Influenced by Puritan ideals, he rejected pacifism, believing violent resistance justified when peaceful efforts failed, drawing from Old Testament deliverance stories. His actions included aiding the Underground Railroad, fighting in Bleeding Kansas, and leading the 1859 Harpers Ferry raid to spark a slave uprisingโ€”a โ€œholy crusadeโ€ in his eyes.

Executed for treason, he died calmly affirming his faith: his goal was โ€œto make the Bible true.โ€

Brown shows radical zeal for justice (Micah 6:8), yet his violence prompts reflection on righteous means. His life urges believers to boldly oppose systemic evil while trusting Godโ€™s sovereignty (Romans 12:19).

"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be movedโ€

[Psalms 55:22]

Oftentimes, all we can do lay our burdens down at the foot of the Cross and keep pressing forward

God is faithful. There is always a reason to the season He places us in and it is always for our betterment

May the Lord test and refine us all

His Will (not our own) be done

We stand with you, squirrel

The world has indeed gone nuts

Up is down, on is off, war is peace, slavery is freedom, evil is good, hate is love, deceit is truth, chaos is order, theatrics is realityโ€”to name a few

As absurd as it may seem, this is the current state of the world: inverted

Isaiah 5:20 serves as a warning

โ€œWoe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitterโ€

Reject conformity to this fallen world

Be separate and seek the Lord

๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ””CHURCH HISTORY 101โ€ผ๏ธTHE HIGHLIGHTS OF 20 CENTURIES ๐Ÿ˜€

โžก๏ธ Last Part โ€ผ๏ธ

๐Ÿ”– The Age of Paradoxes โœ๏ธ

๐ŸŸก The twentieth century was a time of great paradoxes, as the church fell into decline in some parts of the world, but grew and flourished in others. In the first two decades, many in the West envisioned the triumph of Christianity in a golden age of peace and progress for the human race, but this vision died in the carnage and destruction of two world wars.

๐Ÿ”ดRationalistic Modernism assailed the trustworthiness of Holy Scripture, sending great denominations into swift decline, as "the battle for the Bible" beset them. At the same time, Pentecostalism appeared as a tiny offshoot of Methodism and grew into a significant third force in Christendom, augmented by the charismatic movement of the 1970s. The Reformed faith was eclipsed in the early decades of the century, but since 1960. has recovered on both sides of the Atlantic, extending its reach to many parts of the developing world.

๐ŸฆAs decadent Western churches retreated from missionary work, under pressure of declining memberships and shrinking revenue, the newly planted churches of Africa and Asia grew apace. Communism waged a long and brutal campaign to destroy Christianity in the name of materialism and atheism, but failed, falling into the dustbin of history. There is a vibrant church in Russia today, and more Christians in China than in any other nation in the world. The church in the West has declined in faith and numbers, poisoned by Modernism, battered by secularism, and emasculated by worldliness. But God has continued to send forth His Word to the ends of the earth, bringing people to Himself through Christ, planting churches everywhere and building His kingdom in the hearts of His redeemed people.

โœจThe twentieth century was hard on the churches in Europe and North America. At the beginning of the century, in many places, nearly everyone went to church as a matter of course. The rejection of evangelical theology and biblical Calvinism was regarded as a necessary adjustment to changing times; few could see that it would end with the "Death of God" theology of the 1960s. For a time, the deceptive "Neo-Orthodoxy" of Karl Barth promised to save the church from sterile, destructive Modernism, only to disappoint all but its most zealous exponents. In the wake of the two world wars, thousands gave up churchgoing in Britain, the Netherlands. and elsewhere in Europe. Churchgoing increased in the United States during the 1950s, only to fall off sharply in the 1960s, though it remained considerably higher than in Europe.

๐ŸŒธThere were exceptions to the general rule. Evangelicals belatedly realized that their denominations had been hijacked by Modernism and began to protest in the name of the "fundamentals" of the faith. For better or worse "Fundamentalism" became a force in American church life. To stem the tide of unbelief, mass evangelistic campaigns were organized in urban centers, led by Billy Sunday and, later Billy Graham. Movements to recover the historic Reformed faith were led by able men such as J. Gresham Machen, founder of Westminster Seminary and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. In Britain, D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones drew large congregations to London's Westminster Chapel, and through his influence the Banner of Truth Trust began to republish outstanding but long-forgotten works of Reformed and Puritan theology.

โœจMeanwhile, the younger churches of the developing Third World, planted by missionaries in the nineteenth century, began to flourish. In Latin America, Pentecostalism succeeded in breaking the iron grip of Roman Catholicism and drew many thousands into its ranks. Presbyterian and Reformed churches were planted in the Caribbean islands, as well as in Central and South America. In Asia there came to be Christians of many kinds in China, a thriving if sometimes-discordant family of Presbyterian churches in Korea, and significant numbers of Reformed churches in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and elsewhere. As for Africa, huge numbers of Christians adhered to churches of all kinds often coming into conflict with the forces of Islam spreading down from the north.

โœจIn the Middle East, historic Christian populations are shrinking under persecution at the hands of militant Islamists. The clash with Islam continues in Pakistan, Indonesia, and elsewhere in the world. But the record of church history teaches us to hold fast to Christ, assured that He is with us always, even to the end of the world. He will build up His church and kingdom to all generations.

The more you lead a self-focused life

The more you're prone to discouragement

Every time you forget that it's not about you...

You're going to get...

Prideful

Fearful

Bitter

Those feelings will always lead to discouragement

Because they keep you focused on yourself

The Bible says in...

~ 2 Corinthians 4:5

"Our message is not about ourselves. It is about Jesus Christ as the Lord. We are your servants for his sake"

It's not about you !

God put you on this earth...

And he has a message he wants to declare to the world through you

But your life message is not about you

It's about Jesus Christ

I chose those four words...

"It's not about you"

Is the most countercultural message you could give in today's world

Nearly everything in society...

Songs

Video games

TV shows

News stories

And advertisements

Says you've got to think about yourself first

For the rest of our lives...

We are going to be constantly tested on that phrase

You have to repeat it to yourself 20 times plus a day !

When someone

Praises you

Criticizes you

Misjudges you

Or disagrees with you...

You have to remind yourself

"It's not about me"

Why ?

Because when you focus on yourself...

You're going to get discouraged

Instead...

As Paul says in today's verse...

We are servants for Jesus' sake

That means we are motivated to serve others because of what Jesus has done for us

God is always more interested in why you're doing what you're doing

Than he is in what you're actually doing

He cares about the motivations of your heart

Why you're doing something always determines how long you're going to do it

If you're motivated by selfish ambition...

That will never be good enough

You'll eventually get discouraged and quit

But when you're motivated to do something because of how it advances the Gospel and glorifies Jesus...

You will have the encouragement you need to see it through
