8 And a roadway will be there, a highway,
And it will be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean will not pass by on it,
But it will be for him who walks in that way,
And ignorant fools will not wander on it.
9 No lion will be there,
Nor will any vicious beast go up on it;
These will not be found there.
But the redeemed will walk there,
10 And the ransomed of Yahweh will return
And come with joyful shouting to Zion,
With everlasting gladness upon their heads.
They will attain delight and gladness,
And sorrow and sighing will flee away. Isaiah 35:8-10 (LSB)
5 And this is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.1 John 1:5 (LSB)
God is holy and immutable. There is not now nor has there ever been nor will there ever be any darkness in Him. He is eternally holy. In James 1:17 we read that with God, there is no variation or shadow due to change. The Puritans referred to God as the “Thrice Holy God!” Peter tells us in 1 Peter 1:14-19 that the redeemed of the Lord are commanded to be holy as He is holy then he tells us why and how we are to do so.

“…major corporations like Disney suppressing the news in order to weaken the President. The Founders who devised First Amendment protections for the press could never have anticipated that. What we have now is a Constitutional protection for corruption. The Supreme Court needs to take a hard look at that scenario”
“This illustrates the problem I am referring to. Phil Johnson was able to identify some of the most popular online self-proclaimed Christian nationalist figures as representative of the movement, but if anything, they are liabilities for the guys Sean McGowan mentioned who are trying to make a difference in the ecclesiastical debate. For the record, I did critique the sermon but also noted that Johnson was encouraging Christians to vote, which for me was positive.”
“Panentheism is gradually being legitimized by the Roman Catholic church and some evangelical leaders. Within Evangelicalism, it is coming in through the Roman Catholic mystical practice of Contemplative prayer and panentheism, in which Fr. Richard Rohr and the Enneagram are deeply rooted. “Shepherds” have been using the Enneagram as a nine-week sermon series, as well as for counseling, “discipleship,” and other “spiritual formation” programs.”
In modern times, R. C. Sproul often said, “To live coram Deo is to live one’s entire life in the presence of God.”
“They grew up more online than any generation, but many of them are now looking to get offline. They romanticize old technology, physical media, records, CDs, flip phones, older fashions, and pieces of life from generations they never even experienced.”

“Though Americans offer a wide array of reasons why they oppose AI and data centers—from job losses to infiltration—there’s a deeper reason. They gather at city council meetings because these places allow a mostly unchurched crowd to fulfill its desire for community, meaning, and a mission that church once provided.”
“Desronvil introduced himself as the “lone juror” and urged, “I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels… the ones that can’t speak for themselves, the ones that can’t defend themselves, and the ones that can’t fight the battles.” He was referring, of course, to Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8 months).” 
“In the face of all this, Congress does what it usually does: nothing. Plenty of pandering and bickering. This amuses the killers in Beijing. They are busy figuring out how to maximize their power by developing AI. Maybe they will ramp up the Wuhan lab for some experiments.”
“We’ve all seen the tearful pastor standing before his congregation, claiming he’s been led astray. Whether he’s admitting to an affair, gambling, or misusing church money, the appeal to forgiveness can help him get a second chance, sometimes even a third. That’s where blind loyalty gets in the way of common sense.”
“The simplicity of the mind of Christ is also why the world calls the Spirit’s revelation foolishness. When the unbeliever hears the simple message of the gospel and discovers it is God’s wisdom, how often does he respond in a rage, rejecting the cross as folly because it is straightforward? There we are able to see that the truth is closed off to the unbeliever, and so he responds to the gospel in anger.”

The Founders wanted “freedom” of information, a very necessary situation in order to have a responsible electorate. But today, the media is aligned with the Democrats, generally speaking. Is a free press that openly works for political movements protected by the First Amendment?”

“Rest assured that the evil people who have so viciously attacked this American Hero and Champion of Justice will be held accountable to the maximum extent of the law and beyond…he remains utterly unbroken thanks to his devout Catholic Faith…as a devoted father and man of God, he will not be defeated or shattered by the wicked who wish harm upon him.”

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Hollywood and Los Angeles were once so inextricably intertwined that you could hardly mention one without picturing the other. So much more than just a neighborhood in central Los Angeles, Hollywood simply was the entertainment industry — a name that conjured all the glamour, glitz, beauty, wealth, thrills, and tabloid debauchery of a magical place that could only exist in America.

(Douglas Andrews – The Patriot Post) Can anyone in this country explain what the law says concerning mail-in ballots? I sure as heck can’t. I suspect you can’t, either. So is it too much to ask, given that former Trump Attorney General William Barr was
