WHAT’S ON WHAT’S UP TODAY:

Why not just take all the money from the richest five guys in America.

Surely that would fund the federal government for eons… nope, just about two months….

Why not tax everything for those making over $660,000…. Nope. Would only fund the federal government about four months.

So, what do Democrats do: they take $500 from a working man and give $100 to five people who don’t work.

Mark Lanier continues: What was Paul’s Point?

Pastor Jarrett Stephens, from the pulpit of Champion Forest Baptist Church, continues: A Call to Action.

Closing in prayer:
O Lord,
Look upon your children with love and compassion. More below…

PROBLEM SOLVED: LET’S TAKE THE RICH PEOPLE’S MONEY TO FUND THE GOVERNMENT. WRONG!

Discussed by Mark Tapscott
with The Washington Stand (www.WashingtonStand.com/)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Who are the five richest Americans? How much wealth could be confiscated from them to help pay down our debt? How long would WDC function with their wealth? ANSWER: SHOCKING

How long would the federal government function by taxing 100% of the wealth of every American earning more than $660,000? ANSWER: SHOCKING

What is Mandani proposing? What is Ocasio-Cortez proposing? Does Bernie Sanders advocate for their plans?

BOTTOM LINE: Is the problem simply too much spending? Mark Tapscott explains that the problem goes much, much deeper that just too much spending.

Can America simply tell the countries we owe money to “We’re not going to pay it back”?

Have any WDC elected officials – Republican or Democrat – presented a plan to reduce the budget and pay down our debt? Mark reveals the major differences between the two parties and why they just cannot agree on this very, very important issue.

WHAT ABOUT KEN PAXTON???

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Attorney General Ken Paxton has been a friend for many, many years and has been endorsed numerous times in the LINK Letter.

There is no doubt that Ken, through his staff at the AGs office, has accomplished much for Texas. This is worthy of applause.

But did the filing for divorce by Angela Paxton change the equation? Angela Paxton cited adultery as the reason, basing her decision on Biblical grounds.

THE CALL TO ACTION

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 3

THE FATHER OF MODERN MISSIONS, WILLIAM CAREY, ONCE STATED: “EXPECT GREAT THINGS FROM GOD; ATTEMPT GREAT THINGS FOR GOD.” ARE YOU EXPECTING GREAT THINGS FROM GOD? ARE YOU ATTEMPTING GREAT THINGS FOR GOD?

Pastor Jarrett Stephens continues in his new series entitled NEXT: From Northwest Houston to the World. The series will focus on Nehemiah, whose burden for the people produced a bold faith to fulfill God’s promises.

This week, he preaches on the stark differences between Persia and Jerusalem and Nehemiah’s steadfast obedience to God – even through uncertainty and fear.

Scripture Reference: Nehemiah 2-3

Questions/Issues Discussed:

THE WALLS IN JERUSALEM

How long did it take Nehemiah to get from Persia to Jerusalem? How far was it?

SIDE NOTE: I’m sure you get excited about the work of God being fulfilled. But did you know that there are plenty of people who AREN’T excited about God? More on this at the end of this segment today…

What was going on in Jerusalem to cause Nehemiah to travel so far?

When did Nehemiah go out to inspect the damage? Why didn’t he go in the daylight? Click on the link above and fast-forward to the 58-minute mark to view Nehemiah’s Jerusalem.

What happens when God calls His people to a “good work”?

Should we be prepared for opposition and resistance when we truly begin to obey God’s Word, fulfilling His plans for us?
