Good morning and Happy Sunday šāļø
Never allow fear control your life. Given we have one life to live on earth without unlimited do-overs, letās make it count by thinking beyond ourselves. Our Founding Fathers risked everything to break free from the yoke of Great Britain. What, if anything, are you willing to risk?
āDonāt fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul; rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Arenāt two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Fatherās consent. But even the hairs of your head have all been counted. So donāt be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.ā Matthew 10: 28-31 (CSB).
Power comes from faith in the existence of a Supreme Being who knows your name and situation. Be bold and courageous remembering to whom you belong. #faith #prayer #God #Christian #Jewish #America #Israel
Yesterday at the hearing on the SPLCās role in manufacturing hate labels, Rep. Moskowitz pressed me hard on whether neo-Nazis are white supremacists.
Neo-Nazis generally fuse antisemitism with a belief in Aryan or white racial supremacy and dominance. That overlap is real. But antisemitism itself is older and broader. It shows up in Black nationalist circles, Islamist movements, far-left anti-Zionism, and other places that have nothing to do with white supremacy.
The SPLC once focused on actual extremists like the KKK and neo-Nazis. It has since drifted into labeling mainstream conservatives, Christians, and dissenting voices as hate groups. That expansion turns precise terms into blunt weapons. When āwhite supremacistā gets stretched to cover systems, statistics, or anyone who rejects the new orthodoxy, clarity dies and honest disagreement gets recast as extremism.
Words matter. Definitions should describe reality, not serve an agenda.

Do you remember Chariots of Fire?
āDo you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
āØHe will not grow tired or weary,āØand his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,āØand young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
āØThey will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.ā
Isaiah 40: 28-31 (NIV).

Have you ever experienced the power and the mystery of the Holy Spirit? It is unfathomable.
āIf you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth.
The world cannot receive him, because it isnāt looking for him and doesnāt recognize him.
But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphansāI will come to you.
Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live.ā
John 14: 15-19 (NLT).
