AMERICAN CANNOT SURVIVE RACE TRIBALISM

Discussed by Victor Davis Hanson
with Victor Davis Hanson (www.victorhanson.com)

I am sure you’ve seen the videos. Or at least heard a news piece or two about this:

A disturbing, racially charged street fight occurred in Cincinnati a few weekends ago, with a man and woman beaten to a pulp even after being knocked unconscious.

This has been all but ignored by the corporate media. Why?

Today, we are airing a clip from Victor Davis Hanson with The Daily Signal, who believes that the fight does not align with the MSMS’s narrative of America as a place of “salad bowl tribal identification” instead of being a melting pot. In this clip, Victor breaks down the disturbing implications of the fight and reactions from people from across the nation.

GOD HAS DONE HIS PART. SEE THAT YOU DO YOURS.

Discussed by John Wills
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 5

Is the life that you are living the life that Jesus died for? Are you living a life worthy of your calling?

In a world that constantly pulls us in every direction, God calls us to grow in Christ one step at a time. In this 7-week series, the pastors at CFBC will walk through the powerful progression found in 2 Peter 1:5–7, where Christians are called to “make every effort” to add to their faith: virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love. This isn’t about willpower. It’s about spiritual formation and partnering with God to become the person He is calling you to be.

This week, Pastor John Wills presents the next sermon in the series, reminding us of the lessons we have learned over the past several weeks and sharing how we can apply those lessons to our daily walk with Christ.

John Wills is the Missions Pastor and Residency Program Director at CFBC.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
Is the life that you are living the life that Jesus died for?
Are you living a life worthy of your calling?

PRAYER

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

Scripture References: Psalm 25:4-5 and 2 Corinthians 12:9a (ESV)

Heavenly Father,

As you look over the expansion of your creation, may your gaze see us bowed in humility, crying out for your grace and mercy.

Show us your ways, Lord, and teach us your paths. Guide us in your truth.

You are the only living God – our Savior. Our hope is in you all day long.

Father, your grace is sufficient. Your power is made perfect in our weakness.

May we subdue pride and self-exaltation and do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit.

In humility, may we count others more significant than ourselves.

Father, use us today for your glory and honor. Fill us with your wisdom and discernment.

Holy Spirit, guide our decisions and shine through us in all of our words and actions.

Lord Jesus, let’s work together to reach the lost and wandering souls.

And, if granted tomorrow, let’s repeat.

Lifting this prayer in and through the name of Jesus,

Amen.
