“If you are unsure who to trust in these confusing times: Trust the courageous ones. Truth requires courage. Courage requires fortitude. Truth requires integrity. Cowards tell lies. Cowards support liars. Telling a lie is easy. Believing a lie is easy. Being compliant is easy. Staying silent is easy. Trusting without thinking is easy. Thinking for yourself is hard. Standing up for what is right is hard. Being real & authentic is hard. In times like these it takes all the courage in the world to question the status quo & to speak up & tell the Truth.”

There’s a reason why the Bible says pride comes before fall. …
Empires have fallen. Countries have been destroyed because of this arrogance. And if we think that can’t ever happen to us, we’re not paying attention.” – Lt Col Daniel Davis
“There are people, particularly Christian ministers, I have noticed, who are preaching a political message and pretending that it’s the gospel.”
“I’m sorry for the extent to which I participated in it. Forgive me because killing people who committed no crime is immoral. It will always be immoral. And people who do it will be punished for it. And nations that endorse it will be punished for it.”
“To see Christian pastors make excuses for that….”
“..so that we might live through him.”
Us living through Jesus, being led by the Holy Spirit will unite and empower us in Anchorage, Alaska, which will help bring in the GREATEST SPIRITUAL AWAKENING the world has ever seen — Jesus’ prayer in John 17 answered, “that the world will know!”
We can do it!

Someone recently said the early Christians didn’t sing songs during church services, which not one Bible verse says. This is my response.
My Testimony:
As a senior in Lutheran high school in 1974, I realized I didn’t have the ability to love people. So I decided I’d search every religion until I found the source of being able to love others. Thankfully, I started by digging deeper into Christianity, reading what the New Testament really says. It turned out that Acts was a GREAT place to start — probably is for others too.
I found what I was looking for when I read Paul and Silas’ account of worshiping God in song while in chains in prison after being stripped and severely beaten for simply preaching the gospel. Acts 16:
22 The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods. 23 After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. 24 When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open….
34 The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household.
Christian men need to worship in Spirit and in truth!

Both biblical and extra-biblical evidence strongly indicate that early Christians sang songs to God during their services. This practice was deeply rooted in their Jewish heritage and evolved with their new faith.

Paul predicted:
“For The TIME WILL COME when THEY WILL NOT LISTEN to the SOUND DOCTRINE, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves TEACHERS AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS; and will TURN AWAY THEIR EARS FROM THE TRUTH, and turn aside to *FABLES*” (2 Tim. 4:3-4)
POWERFUL!

The Gospel is meant to CHANGE THE SINNER. Not for the sinner to CHANGE THE GOSPEL to suit their sin.

Investigative journalist Ben Swann has compiled substantial evidence demonstrating that the Israeli government was aware well in advance that Hamas was planning the October 7th attacks. Not only did Egypt warn Israel and the IDF had collected their own intelligence, but Hamas was staging obvious military exercises leading up to the fateful date.
They concluded: all 80 vertical steel columns had to have collapsed “near-simultaneously” for WTC Building 7 to collapse — which the fires on just a few floors that were mostly extinguished could not have done. Building 7 was not hit by a plane, and was the third steel high rise building in all of history to collapse “from fire.” NIST lied in their official 9/11 report.
“Dr. Leroy Hulsey is a professor emeritus of structural engineering at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the world’s preeminent expert on the collapse of World Trade Center’s Building 7 on September 11, 2001. In this interview with Jimmy Dore, Dr. Hulsey reveals the scientific basis that led him to conclude that the impact of the planes hitting the twin towers, and any fires that were raging through the building could NOT have caused WTC 7 to collapse into its own footprint.”
Jesus in Matthew 7:13-21
“Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it. How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it. …
Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. …
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
Prof. John Mearsheimer w/ Judge Napolitano:
“The truth is, the single greatest threat to freedom of speech in the United States at this point in time is Israel and its supporters here in the United States.
It’s truly amazing the extent to which Israel’s supporters are going to enormous lengths to shut down free speech, not only on university campuses but all across the country.“

PAUL: “CONSIDER therefore the KINDNESS AND SEVERITY of God.”
“So DO NOT BE ARROGANT, but BE AFRAID. For if God did not spare the natural branches, PERHAPS HE WILL NOT SPARE YOU either. CONSIDER therefore the KINDNESS AND SEVERITY of God: to those who have fallen, severity; but to yoʋ, kindness, IF YOU CONTINUE in his kindness; OTHERWISE yoʋ too will be CUT OFF.”
– Romans 11:20-22
Sheltering homeless to cost Anchorage $125/day! Spiritual revival would cost NOTHING — solving this!
Sheltering each homeless person in this hotel will cost Anchorage taxpayers $125/day! Whereas, spiritual revival (Dick Strutz’s dream) would cost nothing — except humbling ourselves, becoming right before God and men, like Paul always made sure he practiced. So his conscience was clear when he saw Jesus face to Face (Acts 24:16), having faith to enter — unlike the majority of born-again Christians (including church leaders) who die these days!

“Better you get ready — on time!”
We need to walk in love, led and enabled by the Holy Spirit, having the fruit of the Spirit to have no condemnation now and when we see Jesus face to Face — resting in Him.
“You may have been born in church, baptized in church, served in church, could have married in church, died in church and still end up in hell, because you were only in the church and not in Christ.
It is necessary to be born again, take up our cross and follow Jesus. Many have religion, but have no relation with the living God!”
