Buckle Up

• Yes!  You are in!  You ready for a ride?  Buckle up.  Put your trays in the upright and locked position.  Here you go...
• Thank you Dr. Loritts.  Power teacher.  That's what I call you.  I am so grateful for you.  Listener, if that dude is new to you.  You need to check him out.  You can hear the rest of his message and more at the link below...

• Blue kool aid vs. Red kool aid.  Crips and bloods.  And I'm witnessing my brothers and sisters getting fed certain algorithms.  It's sad, I literally have Christian brothers and sisters that don't want to talk to each other...because they think they are correct.  They are choosing politics over what Jesus says we should do.  That sounds like idolatry to me.  Are you turning the cheek? Check Matt 5:39.  He told us not to judge, are you doing that?   Can you see how the enemy is dividing you?  Check Matt 7: 1-6.
• 7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
  
  3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
• Confession, I wrestle with this.  Just ask my wife.  So, I've had to make my own more conscious effort to do less news and social media and more in the Word.  Avid listener, do you remember when I got stood up on my bike.  I was complaining about Gavin Newsome (CA Governor) in my head.  Inner voice that stood me up as if yelled out loud, Thomas, you need to be praying for you leaders, not cursing.  Check 1 Tim 2: 1-2.
