SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:

1 Thessalonians 3:4-8 TPT "In fact, when we were with you we forewarned you: "Suffering and persecution is coming." And so it has happened, as you well know. For this reason, when I could endure it no longer, I sent our brother to find out if your faith was still strong, for I was concerned that the tempter had somehow enticed you and our labor would have been in vain. But now, Timothy has just returned to us and brought us the terrific news of your faith and love. He informed us that you still hold us dear in your hearts and that you long to see us as much as we long to see you. So, our dear brothers and sisters, in the midst of all our distress and difficulties, your steadfastness of faith has greatly encouraged our hearts. We feel alive again as long as we know that you are standing firm in the Lord."

Jesus told the disciples and in turn told us that His true disciples can expect persecution. In John 15:19, He says: "If you were to give your allegiance to the world, they would love and welcome you as one of their own. But because you won't align yourself with the values of this world, they will hate you. I have chosen you and taken you out of the world to be mine." I don't want to be found aligning my values with the world. The values of the world had my life headed straight to hell until Jesus rescued me. So why would I be bullied, intimidated or worried about what the world thinks? And why would I want to blend in? The choice to stand firm in the Lord and move forward at His direction is simple but not necessarily easy. It's the only choice that my conscience can bear though. I'll speak over you the encouragement that Jesus spoke to His disciples before He went to the cross — He said to them, "everything I've taught you is so that the peace which is in me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows, but you must be courageous, for I have conquered the world!"" - John 16:33 TPT

In this way, every generation will set its hope in God and not forget his wonderful works but keep his commandments."

They critically examine recent initiatives like LA DOGE, out-of-state appointments, and the push for a constitutional convention, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:

1 Corinthians 3:5-8 TPT "Who is Apollos, really? Or who is Paul? Aren't we both just servants through whom you believed our message? Aren't each of us doing the ministry the Lord has assigned to us? I planted the church, and Apollos came and cared for it, but it was God who caused it to grow. This means the one who plants is not anybody special, nor the one who waters, for God is the one who brings the supernatural growth. Now, the one who plants and the one who waters are equally important and on the same team, but each will be rewarded for his own work."

Psalms 90:17 TPT "O Lord our God, let your sweet beauty rest upon us. Come work with us, and then our works will endure; you will give us success in all we do." Let that be our prayer today.

For it seems as though everyone else is busy seeking what is best for themselves instead of the things that are most important to our Lord Jesus Christ."

Investigative reporter Drew Hawkins uncovers the troubling use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) among Louisiana officials and corporations, revealing a pattern of secrecy that threatens transparency and public trust. This episode explores the implications of these NDAs on local communities, environmental safety, and state governance.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:

Romans 1:8 TPT "I give thanks to God for all of you, because the testimony of your faith is spreading throughout the world."

Psalms 37:10-17 TPT "Just a little while longer and the ungodly will vanish; you will look for them in vain. But the humble of heart will inherit every promise and enjoy abundant peace. Let the wicked keep plotting against the godly with all their sneers and arrogant jeers. God laughs at the wicked and their plans, for he knows their day is coming! Evil ones take aim at the poor and helpless; they are ready to slaughter those who do right. But the Lord will turn all their weapons of wickedness back on themselves, piercing their pride-filled hearts until they are helpless. It is much better to have little combined with much of God than to have the fabulous wealth of the wicked and nothing else. For the Lord takes care of all his forgiven ones while the strength of evil men will surely slip away."

This episode kicks off a series that will be critically examining Governor Landry's tenure so far, contrasting his campaign promises with his actual governance, especially focusing on legislative decisions, political maneuvers, and the importance of accountability in Louisiana politics.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:

Galatians 2:9-12 TPT "When they all recognized this grace operating in my ministry, those who were recognized as influential pillars in the church—Jacob, Peter, and John—extended to Barnabas and me the warmth of Christian fellowship and honored my calling to minister to the gentiles, even as they were to go to the Jews. They simply requested one thing of me: that I would remember the poor and needy, which was the burden I was already carrying in my heart. When Peter visited Antioch, he caused the believers to stumble over his behavior, so I confronted him to his face. He enjoyed eating with the gentile believers who didn't keep the Jewish customs—up until the time Jacob's Jewish friends arrived from Jerusalem. When he saw them, he withdrew from his gentile friends—fearing how it would look to them if he ate with gentile believers."
