Headed to my church where our pastor bravely displays our United States flag upside down at the street entrance of our church. He received hundreds of nasty phone calls and emails and has answered each one of them.

The US is clearly in distress. 🙏🙏🙏

Despite the nasty calls and emails, our church continues to grow.

Bless you pastor. I will pray for him. I wonder if all, or any of the nasty calls and emails know what the upside down flag means.

Expand full comment

why do people have no idea about so many things? like an upside down flag meaning "we are in distress"? or what happened at ground zero (and the other places) on that fateful day in September of '01? why do people not care to do their own research or to think even? is this the, "learned helplessness"? the, "I'm the peacemaker in the family, so I accept and just love" *i.e., not teaching their kids about morals, values or anything, just "acceptance" of the LMNOPQ+ crowd, etc. I think it's cowardice, really. afraid to look, afraid to face their own behaviors, afraid to think so they just cower and go along. the more I see, the more I understand that God has to step in and bring this Cleanse, to rid us of evil but also to shake people awake out of their self induced stupor of compliance and non-thinking immoral ways. ignorance is what it is but you will still suffer the consequences........wisdom or suffering. I'm climbing down off my soap box now, no one wants to hear it and personally I look forward to that day God steps in.............God bless America to remember her spiritual foundation.............repentance and worship of God is vastly needed. I'm out.

what does it mean (for all of us)

most don't know what the capitol of the state is let alone their biological gender so..................why would they know anything else?

Believe it or not, I do think God has stepped in. Just not in the way people want to see it. Unfortunately, the innocent always suffer right along side the idiots. We all have some penance due. It seems the most evil and vile people get away with their crimes, but I'm sure some don't.

Thank you, Sherri. GOD bless you!

"To reject the law is to praise the wicked;

to obey the law is to fight them.

Evil people don't understand justice,

but those who follow the LORD understand completely." Proverbs 28:4-5

Father, give us Your strength to stand against evil everywhere, always speaking boldly without fear of consequence.

"And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God."

John 3:19-21 ESV

"13. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm." Ephesians 6:10-18 ESV

GOD bless you all!

A simple prayer of faith 8/11/24

"LORD, send down Your Holy Angels"

"For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go." Psalm 91:11 NLT

Father, protect Sherri from harm. Surround her with Your mighty angels, reinforce the breaches in the wall, and strengthen Your hedge of protection around her. Disrupt the adversaries' plans of confusion, turn their threats into useless words, expose their many shameful ploys—they only have lies to tell—bring their efforts to an end, let the victory be hers, show Your justice strong, oh GOD. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.

"The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them." Psalm 34:7 NASB

"In Labor, All Creation Groans" a simple song of lament and hope.

So sad and true. The girl Olympic boxer apologized to the man who beat her. Obviously bullied into doing that, no matter how she worded it. And now, the two men remaining will box each other in the women’s Olympic championship. Weird. Lord have mercy and give us strength. 🙏

This is where I would draw the line. She should never have apologized no matter what it cost. Sounds like she was coerced, but stand up for your morals not only for yourself but for others.

All the girls on all the boxing teams should have refused to compete. If you follow Riley Gaines, her college swim team was told go along with the guy in their locker room, or lose your scholarships. Something like that was no doubt said to these Olympic girls. 💔

Weird yes. Each dude will stand up on the podium & receive either a gold or silver break for beating up a woman. May be the only day I tune in to watch.

As an ob/gyn , I struggle with this issue . On charts , there is a spot for what the person identifies as ( I never fill it out ) … however I have some patients want to be called a guys name since they identify as a man but yet I’m doing a Pap smear , ultrasound and discussing their heavy periods or whatever. Then there are the furries , bizarre behavior that I have to stay calm and discuss their polycystic ovaries . These are all examples but the world is getting difficult to navigate. Lord give me wisdom . 🙏

I knew a real sweet girl, I liked her, she was my friend but............she also had some pretty odd ideas and I think her mother had a lot to do with this - anyway, this girl is a "lesbian" is "married" to her "wife" and they live with her mother (who I believe has her own closeted issues) and supports her daughter in "being the man she really is (inside)". oh, ok. so I talked to her one day and asked her *gently, I might add, "do you have periods?" and she said, "yes" and so I said, "well, then you are biologically a girl, a female and a woman, not a man". this flipped her out, she no longer talked to me, believing I didn't support her gay coupling aka "marriage" (which I didn't say anything about but of course I don't but it's not my business if she wants to pretend she's a boy/man, whatever). But God never enters her head, she is a sweet person but totally messed up and I believe her mother is directly influencing her in this way (not that she is not responsible, she is, for her own life choices) because the mother is a lesbian and doesn't admit it. this is how people influence their children by modeling sickness or emotional dysfunction and bad choices in life by not working on their own emotional issues and having morals and looking to God instead of their own secret perversity and ego.

But that's me and someday soon I hope God steps in and shakes this World hard. I do. These kids are so messed up and their parents are directly responsible as well, grandparents too, if they go along. my 2 cents. I know so many are going down this Path........oh well.

Just yesterday, a neighbor knocked on my door to ask how he could help another elderly neighbor/ friend , who I take care of . Bottom line he exploded about how wonderful Pelosi and Newsome were and what a great change Harris will make … I was speechless 😶.. I told him to visit the elderly neighbor and be his friend, he said it was too hard because he hates Pelosi . I said we need to love one another. I don’t think he liked my response and left .

Sadly, Dr. T, I’m learning that many churches are complicit in doing nothing, which advances our enemy’s agenda, and that includes well-known names in evangelical churches.

Someone encouraged me to research Andy Stanley, what he’s been saying and the organizations that fund his agendas. Another person sounded the alarm about the popular Orange curriculum used in churches and by homeschoolers. Who funds it? Andy Stanley’s name pops up.

What agenda is at the top of their minds? Watering down the gospel and bullying churches into becoming “affirming” churches.

We not only need to speak up, we need to hold our shepherds accountable! Week after week, we hear of yet another pastor who has stepped down due to his sexual sin. Dallas, Texas, believers have been hit especially hard.

How can believers hold their leadership accountable in mega churches? Maybe our Lord might be leading us to form smaller fellowships, in which we can better hold each other accountable, including our pastors and elders. And better protect children and adults from abuse by our shepherds.

We believers must be vigilant and alert. The enemy is working his destruction in American churches, first the mainline churches and now the evangelical Bible churches, both non-denom and the SBC.

We need to clean house, as God guides, as well as speak God’s truth to a lost and perishing world.

my new book, Walking With God, talks about the StateofTheology survey. You may find some strength to clean out there. It will be up to the Remnant, those of us standing up and speaking out, no matter the cost. https://drtenpenny.com/product/wwg1-insp-pprbk/

Also, reread Hebrews 11, especially the last few verses.

Love Hebrews 11, and I enjoyed re-reading it just now, thank you.

Glad the topic is in your book.

So far, our church, and others in our rural area, are still holding firm in our county, in our state.

My heart hurts for believers in the Dallas/FW area.

I see that Andy Stanley is in full Charles Andrew Stanley. That anagrams to two phrases with two words each, one of which is ' lewdness charlatanery'.

I read this this morning and I have to remember this in times of uncertainty:

7 ​​Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,

​​And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

18 ​​Lest the LORD see it, and it displease Him,

​​And He turn away His wrath from him.

19 ​​Do not fret because of evildoers,

​​Nor be envious of the wicked;

20 ​​For there will be no prospect for the evil man;

​​The lamp of the wicked will be put out.

The SIN of omission...

Personally I think we need more preachers like David Wilkerson (The Vision) who didn't beat around the proverbial bush, he said things outright. Why do I think this? Because people NEED to know that there are ways to live that are right and wrong, that there are consequences for not having morals and not living as God asks us. God does not punish us, but we do reap according to what we sow. So it's your choice and there are spiritual laws in place. I am not saying you can't "be gay" or a homo or a sodomite or a lesbian or pretend you are another "orientation" - that is all up to you, but there should be some standards in life, depicting what normal behavior is, and it's not being emotionally disturbed and morally reprehensible, like celebrating depravity or what is taught in schools, political ideologies instead of the 3 R's - and raising boys up to be men and why men can be good at protection and providing and that women are to be the nurturers, not naggers or on Instagram or Tinder showing their nakedness. Without God, we destroy ourselves, so ignorant. People............we go thru this over and over and over again and we don't seem to learn.............Sodom and Gomorrah.......all over again. Oh well, God gave us all free will when He made us in His image, so I can only change me. God bless America to wake back up to God..............

This is why I love our pastor. He speaks these truths. I had to search a lot of churches before I found this one. I knew this was as God intended and was further convinced when I read about the Black Robe Regiment.
