G20 nations concerned about climate change not Gods judgment

President Joe Biden and other leaders from the G20 Group of 20 nations are gathering in Glasgow Scotland this week for a conference on climate change

English Prime Minister Boris Johnson opened with some bleak words for the crowd

JOHNSON Humanity has long since run down the clock on climate change Its one minute to midnight on that Doomsday clock and we need to act now

However the conference incorporated little concern for the judgment of Almighty God upon the nations for the violation of His Holy Law

In 2 Samuel 233 the God of Israel said He who rules over men must be just ruling in the fear of God

Contrary to Bidens claim Pope did not say he was a good Catholic

After Pope Francis and President Joe Biden met on Friday Biden claimed that the pope called him a good Catholic and that he should keep receiving communion Interestingly the Vatican has not confirmed the veracity of Bidens account

To his credit the pope has called abortion murder and hes equated it to hiring a hitman

Brian Burch Director of CatholicVote wrote The pope most certainly did not say what the media and Bidens Catholic backers are suggesting namely that Catholic public officials who aggressively advocate for killing innocent children are good Catholics who should continue receiving Communion For Biden to pretend that the pope is 100 on board with his agenda is not only a joke its shameless

Proverbs 2411 says Rescue those being led away to death hold back those staggering toward slaughter

Supreme Court refuses to block Maines vaccine mandate

On Friday the United States Supreme Court declined to block Maines vaccine mandate for all healthcare workers without providing any exemptions for religious objectors reports TheBlazecom

Garlands Oct 4 memo was issued after the Biden administration received a letter from the National School Boards Association that claimed some parental behavior may amount to domestic terrorism However out of the 20 incidents the School Board group cited 15 of them did not include violence or the threat of violence

The opening sentence of Attorney General Garlands one-page memo to the FBI said In recent months there has been a disturbing spike in harassment intimidation and threats of violence against school administrators board members teachers and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nations public schools

Cruz cited a case in point of a legitimately upset father Scott Smith who was outraged thathis 14-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted in the public school restroom by a boy wearing a skirt Mr Smith never threatened violence or acted violently toward the Loudoun County Virginia school board Yet he was one of the 15 parents cited by the school board group in their letter to President Biden

Listen to the exchange between Senator Cruz and Attorney General Merrick Garland

CRUZ Youve testified you know nothing about the violent sexual assault that happened in Loudoun County Virginia even though its one of the bases in this letter

GARLAND I read about it since then

CRUZ Okay You told the House last week you didnt know anything about it

GARLAND I did not know at the time No

CRUZ Okay This week the court concluded that a 14-year-old girl was violently raped by a boy wearing a skirt in the girls restroom The school district covered it up released the boy sent him to another school where he violently raped another girl The father who Mr Senaot Josh Hawley just showed you was the father of the first girl Do you understand why a parent would be upset when your daughter is raped at school the school board covers it up and then lies to you and claims there have been no assaults We have no instances of assaults in our bathroom and that was a flat out lie as the court concluded this week Do you understand why the parent would be upset

GARLAND Absolutely Any expressions of upset are completely protected by the First Amendment

CRUZ Except you just called ...

Last Thursday Republican Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio calleda recent DOJ memodirecting the FBI to look out for violence at school board meetings the last straw of political interference in law He believes the National School Board Associations real agenda is to squelch the freedom of speech of concerned parents

Christian convert from Islam refuses to marry Muslim man

Miriam was the most devout Muslim in her family in Central Asia that is until she met Jesus As soon as she began following Christ her family began to harass and pressure her reports Voice of the Martyrs

Though no one in her family was a very devout Muslim they felt that Miriam had abandoned their Central Asian cultural identity and brought shame on the family They scolded Dont follow that Russian god We are Muslims

But Gods love and forgiveness had won her heart

Miriam said My family told me that I had dishonored and shamed the family so badly that they would rather I had become a prostitute Shortly after this my brother was murdered My family and the Muslim leaders said it happened because I cursed the family by accepting Christ so they beat me

Miriams family was eager for her to marry hoping that a Muslim husband would fix the problem They suggested various men but Miriam turned them all down because they were Muslims She knew it was biblically wrong for her to marry an unbeliever
