SAY I WON’T: By Mercy Me [4:48] – I have now heard, through several prophetic sources, that the Lord has decreed this to be a special time of winnowing and faith building. The lyrics of this wonderful song speak powerfully to the message I posted yesterday by Pastor Brian Gibson – In many ways, the church in America has become a cruise ship church. We need to become a battleship.

AL SHARPTON: [3:38] – CNN commentator Keith Boykin suggested it was impossible to imagine a scenario in which Al Sharpton would lead a rally that inspired Black Lives Matter activists to storm the U.S. Capitol. How about Crown Heights? How about Harlem? Cuz we don’t need to imagine that. We just need to remember.
In August of 1991, a black child in Crown Heights was accidentally killed by a car driven by a Jew. At the funeral, Al Sharpton spoke in a way that aggravated tensions between the Jewish and black communities. A banner displayed at the funeral that said, “Hitler did not do the job.” Rioting ensued.
On the third day of the disturbances, Al Sharpton led marchers through Crown Heights carrying antisemitic signs and burning an Israeli flag. By the time the three days of rioting ended, 152 police officers and 38 civilians had been injured and one million dollars worth of property damage had been done.
In December of 1995, a black Pentecostal Church that owned retail property on 125th Street in Harlem, asked their Jewish tenant (who operated Freddie’s Fashion Mart) to evict his longtime subtenant, a black-owned record store called The Record Shack.
Apparently ignorant of or not caring about the context, Al Sharpton decided led a protest march against the Jewish owner saying, “We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business.” One of the protesters went into Freddie’s Fashion Mart, shot up the place, then set it on fire. Eight people died.
In 2002, Sharpton expressed regret for making the racial remark “white interloper” but denied responsibility for inflaming or provoking the violence.

Hitler had his Brownshirts. Mussolini had his Blackshirts. Democrats have Antifa and BLM.

D.C.: [:45] – Multiple videos show the lie in the Left’s narrative of “angry” Trump supporters “storming” the Capitol building. In this one, they’re calmly walking, in between the ropes, with cops hanging out on the sides, doing and saying nothing to impede them.
GET WOKE, GO BROKE: Apple in 1997: “Think different.” Apple in 2021: “Think like us … or else.”
“Interesting, and not in a good way, how the very people who have spent the last four years accusing Trump of being Hitler are acting more like the dictator themselves than Trump ever did. The Left always accuses the Right of what they’re guilty of … never forget that.” – Twitchy team

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS: As our freedoms erode, we must look to Jesus more than ever before for strength, comfort and guidance. I also find encouragement in the stories of great saints who came before. I’ve shared some before, but plan to do it more often. Today, I’m featuring my patron, Saint Christina.
St. Christina lived in the third century. Her father, Urbain, who wanted her to be a pagan priestess, honoring the same pagan idols he did. When she fasted and prayed for divine guidance, an angel came to her and taught her about Christian faith. The angel warned her that she would suffer if she followed Christ, but she was undeterred and immediately destroyed her father’s idols.
He had her beaten, tortured, and thrown into prison, but nothing would make her denounce Jesus. Her faith and resolve inspired others’ interest in God. The new governor recognized that she would never relinquish her faith and finally executed her. During her time in captivity, she converted nearly 300 people to Christianity.

POPE FRANCIS: CLICK https://rumble.com/vcllpv-breaking-pope-francis-calls-on-everyone-to-take-covid-vaccine-it-must-be-do.html [4:13] to hear John-Henry Westen talk about the problems with the pontiff’s latest statement. “I believe that, ethically, everyone should take the vaccine. … Why not take it? There is a suicidal denial that I wouldn’t know how to explain.”
Westen makes good points, but I have more to say on this issue, because … well, I’m angry! Pope Francis has again made no effort to understand any position but the one the globalists present.
With climate change, he began from the false assumption that man’s use of fossil fuel is destroying the planet. Patrick Moore has made an undisputed-by-anybody case that our use of fossil fuel has actually saved the planet. And I read that people like Moore and Lord Monckton tried to get in to see the pope, but he wouldn’t see them! Wouldn’t hear them!
With the vaccine, he says, “I can’t understand” … well, yes, because he doesn’t WANT to understand! As long as he presumes to teach from a one-side position of profound ignorance, I will presume to ignore what he says and continue to rely on traditional church teaching, prayer, and my well informed conscience.
SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER: Clay Travis (sports journalist, writer, radio host) posted this tweet threat – “Big tech companies all simultaneously reaching exact same decisions when it comes to banning individuals & businesses demands antitrust action. It’s monopolistic collusion, yes, but it also destroys marketplace of ideas & is a far bigger threat to the country than any individual.
“The Chinese government restricts free speech on the internet, but big tech companies in the US are now so powerful — and colluding — that they have created monopolies which dictate which online speech is allowed. It should terrify anyone who cares about the marketplace of ideas.
“In other words, the first amendment jurisprudence of the United States is predicated on the government not prohibiting speech. But the Internet has created such powerful companies that their power to restrict speech is now more all encompassing than the US government’s.
“This shouldn’t be a partisan issue at all. The marketplace of ideas allows fringe ideas to win the battle of minds. It’s how our country evolves. Many liberal & conservative thoughts that are now ascendant were once fringe minority positions. Stifling that debate makes us China.”
Sadly, too many people on the Left are A-OK with that.
UNITY: “We’d ask what is WRONG with this meat-sack of hateful stupid (that may well be our new most used phrase of 2021) but we’re pretty sure no one can really tell us. John Brennan has been broken for years as anyone with a Twitter account watching him completely meltdown under Trump can tell you but this tweet is exceptionally awful. And sadly all too common amongst the Left looking to ‘unify’ the country.” – Twitchy team

Amen
The Saints, Martyrs, they inspire of lives not oft heard in my world.
Fifth Seal of the Revealing of Jesus Christ, Under The Alter they are mentioned (with apparent limited patience? for judgement prior to the appointed time).
Difficult to imagine the early Saints having limited patience.

I’m glad you’re enjoying this. I intend to make it a regular feature. Part of my effort to help us move from “cruise ship” to “battle ship” mode. ❤
