The Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.
2 Thessalonians 3:16
Morning
The Lord of peace Himself give you
peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” § Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not..

Religious identity was more important than class or race in the US election, analysis published by PRRI suggests.

Christian voters were the core reason for Donald Trump’s victory, the research group said, arguing his religious backing was the most significant factor on election night.

The states with the largest white Christian populations were more likely to back Trump. The Republican candidate won 69 per cent of the vote in West Virginia with its 70 per cent white Christian population.

I am convinced that many of us women have a submission problem. A giant submission problem. But it isn’t mainly that we won’t submit to our husbands — it’s that we won’t stop submitting to the world. The biggest problem with women and submission is too much of it in the wrong places. We willingly submit to the world’s rules.
