14 What shall we say then? Is there any unrighteousness with God? May it never be! 15 For He says to Moses, “I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION.” 16 So then it does not depend on the one who wills or the one who runs, but on God who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, IN ORDER TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND IN ORDER THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH.” 18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.

The more I deal with those who “resent” the doctrines we hold to here at Possessing the Treasure, such as the doctrine of Justification by Faith Alone, the doctrine of Regeneration, and the doctrine of Election, among many others, the more I have prayed for God to show me why it is that so many reject what is clearly presented in His Word….

“We are called to guard the gospel, to stand firm in the truth, and to reject anything that contradicts the Word of God. False teachers are wolves, and they will tear apart the flock if we let them. So don’t be fooled. Train your powers of discernment, test the spirits, and be a Berean. Because the stakes couldn’t be higher. Souls are at risk, and the truth of the gospel is too precious to compromise.”
(Neil Munro – Breitbart) President Joe Biden’s administration is allowing up to 650,000 criminal migrants and suspects — including at least 13,099 migrant murderers and 222,141 migrants facing criminal charges — to roam through American communities, according to a dramatic data dump by a House Republican.
(Katie Pavlich – Towhall) The Israeli Defense Forces launched a strike on Iran’s Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut Friday with a target of eliminating the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
“By including the compliments and history between Lawson and MacArthur, Roys is sinisterly going for guilt by association. Meanwhile, she has already started labeling Lawson an abuser, going so far as to cite a Texas law against clergy sexual abuse.”
(Tom Rush – Truthscript) The internet is aflame with commentary on the recent revelation of the removal of Dr. Steve Lawson as pastor of Trinity Bible Church of Dallas due to an “inappropriate relationship.” The

“He paints the church as a bunch of gatekeepers, cruelly barring entry to the “weirdest, hardest, queerest” people. But isn’t that rich? Bennett pretends as though the gospel is some sort of social club, where anyone can walk in, toss their sin on the table, and get a pat on the back. Newsflash, the gospel isn’t a cozy blanket you wrap around your rebellion. It’s a fire that burns it away.”
“While campaigning for Harris on The View on Wednesday, Biden appeared to blame Harris for the administration’s failure to reduce inflation, secure the southern border, and responsibly withdraw from Afghanistan.”
“And lest you think Harris would only abuse the filibuster just to kill babies, you’ve got another think coming. During her blink-and-you-missed-it 2020 presidential campaign, she suggested dumping the filibuster to pass the Green New Deal: ‘
(Protestia) More details have emerged in the Steve Lawson scandal, with multiple parties alleging that Lawson, 73, engaged in a romantic relationship with a woman in her twenties over five years and that it only ended when the father of the woman in question found out and threatened to tell Trinity Bible Church elders, forcing Lawson to fess up. Notably, the young woman was not a member of Lawson’s church, didn’t live nearby, and both parties insist that no fornication took place, which may explain the church initially characterizing it as an “inappropriate relationship.”

“We recognize that God’s children are engaged in warfare. It is not a warfare of flesh and blood, sure, but a warfare of spiritual power (Eph 6:12). Yet it is warfare that we are called to be equipped to fight (Eph 6:10–20), and it is not a spiritual conflict that is bifurcated from temporal realities. Our weapons of warfare are spiritual weapons.[Armor of God below] and we are called to resist both devil and flesh in this warfare. Our God is a warlike God, and consequently His children experience victory and conquest through union with Him…Christians are called to be ready for the attacks of spiritual warfare in this life, to be prepared for the battles that lay ahead.” 
“But other transcripts gathered by Loudermilk during his subcommittee’s ongoing probe of Jan. 6 security failures show civilian leadership at the Pentagon admittedly openly they would not comply with Trump’s wishes, with some saying they did not like the optics of armed soldiers or Guardsmen roaming the Capitol with weapons during what was supposed to be a peaceful transition of power.”
“Any GOP candidate who can clearly articulate why Liberty and free enterprise are winning goals for women and their families will attract enough voters, male and female, to defeat the Left’s socialist propaganda machine. A majority of women are NOT the emotionally incontinent idiots Democrats believe they are.”
“If you believed the lies and voted or cheated for Biden/Harris, you might be thinking that you are a basically good person who supports decency and fairness. Now, more than ever before, it’s perfectly clear that there is nothing decent or fair about Marxist Social Justice, Critical Race Theory, the Carbon Climate Hoax, etc.”
(AWR Hawkins – Breitbart) Fifty-eight-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged would-be assassination in Palm Beach on September 14, 2024, allegedly left a note with a friend making clear his intent to kill former President Donald Trump.

(Owen Anderson – Clear Truth Media) It is a widely known secret that many secular university professors actively work to deconstruct the faith of young Christian students. Sometimes they do this by directly assaulting the truths of the Christian religion. They deny the existence of God and replace him with the materialistic dialectic. They deny humanity’s need for redemption and replace Christ with the State. And they mock Christian morality and replace it with “do what thou wilt is the whole of the law.”
