1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea. 2 And large crowds gathered to Him, so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on the beach.3 And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, the sower went out to sow; 4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up. Matthew 13:1-9 (LSB) Read verses 5-9 on the site.
“Team Joe Biden’s Brain is still refusing to find anything wrong with giving Iran $6 billion and hasn’t announced any plans to refreeze assets.” 
“The fact that modern CT staff have financially supported pro-abortion, pro-sexual perversion candidates does not surprise me at all. The magazine long ago lost its biblical moorings and has been under the influence of progressives and leftists for years. It’s tragic. And it’s a reminder to evangelicals that institutions that faithful Christians build are always in danger of drifting left.”
(Oliver JJ Lane – Breitbart) Gaza should not expect to see the water or electricity turned back on while it still holds hostages captured during the massive and deadly terror attack on Israel on Saturday, that country’s government has warned.

(Mary Dowling) Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh’s October 7, 2023 statement on Operation Al-Aqsa Deluge called the Israel [massacre] operation a “great triumph.” He said the enemy had suffered a political, military, intelligence, security, and moral defeat. Hamas leader Khalid Marshal called for every Muslim brother and sister globally to rise up on Friday the 13th and every day. He called for a political movement as our borders are open, and Biden floods the country with Islamists as so-called refugees. Hamas is encouraging suicide attacks. 
(Protestia) Andy Stanley told attendees at the Unconditional conference that it’s “good theology” to attend the same-sex marriages of your loved ones, while also criticizing notable critics of same-sex acceptance within the church.

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Hamas’s attack on Israel should be a wake-up call for Sleepy Joe’s America. Joe Biden, a man whose entire government apparatus has turned domestic political protesters into terrorists but who finances and arms real foreign terrorists, isn’t on your side. A president who applauds releasing criminals early from jails and prisons in America — if they’re even arrested in the first place — isn’t on your side.
“More often than not, these people don’t meet the biblical criteria for leadership but are given a platform—and immense influence—due to their musical prowess and stage presence.”
“President Joe Biden hosted a party for White House staff on Sunday night as countless Americans remain missing and held hostage by terrorist organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip. A number of Americans were killed by terrorists in attacks over the weekend.”
“The study also found that biological males who believe they are transgender women are up to 95 percent more likely to suffer from heart disease.”
