Ordinary Americans are afraid of sharing their point-of-view because they are afraid of losing their job or tenure. Totalitarianism is casting a dark shadow over the west and we have a moment to recognize it and prepare for it. Solzhenitsyn said “We are not called upon to step out onto the square and shout out the truth, to say out loud what we think—this is scary, we are not ready, he writes, “But let us at least refuse to say what we do not think.”

It seems like we have entered some sort of a weird dystopian time in the United States where what we used to believe about our country is in question. I watched on the news yesterday as Rudy Giuliani turned himself in the political prosecution of Donald Trump. Guliani is 79 years old—and he was indicted last week along with Trump and 17 other individuals. This is a political witch hunt. It tells us a lot about the state of our union... and yet in the midst of all this, God's word remains the same. Today we'll be looking at the headlines and how our words can bring hurt... or healing. SHOW NOTES:

Do you sometimes want to run from the city or area that you live in?

Families are messy, aren’t they? One of the reasons I love the bible so much is that we get to see the messy side of all the characters …. Including bad parenting. God included these accounts so that we can learn lessons from these real people—lessons about the use of trickery, favoritism in families, deciding to run ahead of God, misunderstanding what God is doing, parental manipulation and more. We can take so many good things away from the parenting mistakes that were made by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! God redeems our messes when we offer them to Him. SHOW NOTES
