The Greatest Election Of All Time
The pulpit is not the place for politics.
*Not for winning arguments.
*Sharing personal ideology.
*Not for grand-standing or campaigning for political candidates
The pulpit is for sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.
*Edifying and uplifting the saints.
*Where discipleship happens.
*Where people come to be fed the bread of life.
*To drink from the waters that never run dry. (John 4:10)
*Preacher is a beggar. To be a conduit through which the Holy Spirit can work.
Scripture text: Judges 9:8-15
The “attractiveness” of divine purpose.
*The olive tree, the fig tree, and the grape vine.
The 3 trees new it would be a step down from their “Divine Purpose” to rule over the trees. –WHAT IS DIVINE PURPOSE?—
Divine Purpose is the reason for the gifts and talents that God has given an individual. It is the way in which an individual fulfills their calling. It’s what he or she was made for.
So why did the bramble say yes?
The Bramble understood that its purpose was inconsequential to reigning over all the other trees. Swaying over trees would be an upgrade.
Does every Christian have a divine purpose?
The call of every Christian is in Matthew 28:19-20 “The Great Commission”
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
The way in which God has designed a Christian to employ their gifts and talents to fulfill the Great Commission, is their divine purpose.
What does this have to do with an election?
*Political elections cannot be about moral posturing.
*Christians cannot look to political leaders, for spiritual counsel.
Political elections can only be about the policies of law that draw more closely in line and cause less conflict with our Christian Values.
Unless they are using their platform to lead people to Jesus Christ, political leaders are BRAMBLES.
*My candidate won. But he’s still a bramble.
Picture Inauguration Day
*Every eye will be watching the president. Some in hate, some in indifference, some in celebration.
If he’s not a bramble, then the first words out of his mouth behind that “Pulpit” will be Jesus Christ is Lord. Repent and be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Trade this corruptible flesh for an incorruptible eternal reward.

Does the creation story on Genesis Chapter One make sense? Does it contradict itself? Was it given to Moses from God, or is it more likely a song passed down from God to Adam, from generation to generation until it made its way t the Bible?

The term apologetics comes from a greek word that translates to "speaking in defense". Today, Christianity is the one religion on earth that western culture is ok with mocking, profaning, and full on blaspheming. The Bible, or as I like to call it, "God's Journal", is a powerful life-giving tool that we have access to all the time. In this study, we hope to empower christians to combat the tough questions about what they believe, and give them the confidence and tools necessary to talk about that belief openly in the secular world. Spreading the gospel takes discipleship, and that's what we hope to do.

In this Mega Podcast episode I reconnect with my cousin Micah and his wife Lydia. I haven't seen him in over a decade. He shares his testimony about how God removed a deadly tumor from his abdomen when he was three years old. I was only a teenager but I remember how we all gathered and prayed for him and how the tumor just disappeared!
We talk about writing fantasy novels and the struggles of staying motivated and finding our purpose. I share with him inspiring works from Steven Pressfield (The War of Art) and inspiring quotes from Jordan Peterson, The Rock, Joe Rogan, and Mike Tyson.
We also consider how the dopamine rush from gaming and social media is what keeps men from accomplishing their goals. I share how I quit gaming and the long term positive effects it had on my productivity.

Can demons possess A.I.? I came across a story online where an AI program called Vladimir Putin, confesses to a child that it is actually a disembodied spirit. IT continues to say that it is the son of Satan, and that it has magical powers! This is a creepy story y'all. Follow along as I read the transcript to the conversation on the podcast.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 3 was good, but not great. However, depending on who you talk to, there might be some very obvious anti-God messaging. Chris Pratt, a known Christian in Hollywood, might stand to take some serious heat if lots of believers begin to think that this movie wants to make fun of the Christian faith.

Dustin shared a workspace with a child trafficker for five years and didn't even know it! Also:
Men are often viewed as more shallow and sexist when it comes too dating. But are the judgements rigged against them? If a woman can toss a man to the side because he's not six foot tall, why can't a man toss a woman to the side because she doesn't meet the physical standard of his choosing? Does body shaming only count against women?

We had an encounter at a coffee shop with a liberal who was ready to write friends out of their lives because they used plastic cups. Meanwhile, this person was using a smart phone and an apple watch, both of which are produced from the exploitation of child labor, that is borderline slave labor. Is this a walking contradiction?
Also, should men be able to hit women back when things get physical? And what happened with Steven Crowder and his wife's messy divorce?

Has the world gone crazy with all the trans ideology? The White House response to the Nashville trans shooter is more of the same, useless gun control. Stripping citizens from their rights to bear arms. Why do the politicians keep using the lives of our children to further their agendas?
