“The value and worth of a soul is determined by the object of its love. Those who love mean and sordid things become base and vile, while a noble and well-placed affection can elevate and improve the spirit to match the perfection it loves.” Henry Scougal

Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much because of him today in a dream.” (Matthew 27:19)

'make it as secure as you can.' yah guys, good luck with that. The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.’ Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last fraud will be worse than the first.” Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard. (Matthew 27:62–66)

Psalm 119:68 You are good and do good.

“Why is the Lord bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become a prey. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?” And they said to one another, “Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt.” (Numbers 14:3–4) Wicked Unbelief & “Let’s replace Moses!” Followed by. . . [God said], “none of the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have put me to the test these ten times and have not obeyed my voice, shall see the land that I swore to give to their fathers. And none of those who despised me shall see it.” (Numbers 14:22–23) Judgement. Followed by… The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving you, (Numbers 15:1–2) God says: Moses is still my guy. Despite the wickedness of this generation, my promise still stands. You will inherit the land. Michael Morales: “The land is further defined as the ‘land of your dwelling-places’ (môšĕbōtêkem), the singular use of this ascription in the HB (cf. Hausoul 2018: 82), fostering the anticipation of God’s gift, as if their homes were already prepared and waiting for their arrival.” Amazing. Already prepared and waiting for their arrival. Which reminds me… “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” (John 14:1–3)

"All the mojo appears to be with the Trump campaign, and the Harris campaign is in disarray. She is manifestly out of her league, in over her head, and also under water. Those three are hard to do all at once."

"In this beloved truck of mine I have committed many thought crimes. These thought crimes have drawn the ire of people all over the world."

"One of the reasons why Christians should support Trump in this election now is that, given his waffling on the life issue, we recognize that we are therefore in the semi-finals. And in the finals, we should much rather be dealing with the results of a Trump victory than with a Harris victory. If Harris is president, we will have no chance when it comes to the next SCOTUS nominee, and no influence at all. If Trump is president, we have a really good chance to affect what happens. And I would much rather fight with Trump about it than fight with Harris about it. Some sort of acceptable deal is possible with Trump, and not with Harris."

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” (James 4:13–15 NIV)

What good is it to control 1% of all the sats…and lose your soul? Your life is a mist, vapor, breath. Soon you will stand before the Judge of all the world. Then what?
