WHAT’S ON WHAT’S UP TODAY:

WHY DOES GEN Z HATE CAPITALISM?

Walking in their $250 tennis shoes, drinking their $6 Latte, and talking on their $1,000 phone all the while complaining about those who have more than themselves.

We need more free markets, more opportunities to pursue our dreams, not government control.

When the tax bill comes due, will Gen Zeers pay more taxes to continue to get their free healthcare, free food, free housing and free transportation?

PLUS: before you vote for any Democrat, see how France is burning, how their no-go zones in England…

Vote for a good life for your kids and grandkids – vote RED all the way down ticket.

This week, Mark Lanier in the Biblical-Literacy Class explores Paul’s references to the Old Testament.

Scripture Reference: Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV)

Your steadfast love overwhelms me and never ceases. More Below…

DO YOU EVER ACCIDENTALLY FALL ASLEEP IN CHURCH? I THINK WE’RE ALL GUILTY OF THAT FROM TIME TO TIME! WELL – DON’T FALL ASLEEP LISTENING TO THE SERMON EACH DAY THIS WEEK! THAT’S WHAT THE ENEMY – THE DEVIL – WANTS. SO STAY AWAKE AND PAY ATTENTION!

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Did anyone in the Bible ever fall asleep before the Lord? Pastor Justin mentions a few: Samuel, Eli, and even the disciples.

Why does the devil want us asleep? Does he want us to ignore a Great Awakening?

Who was the very first person to fall asleep in church (as recorded in the Bible)? Pastor Justin gives the context behind Acts 20 Tune in tomorrow as reads verses 7-9.
