James 4:17 says, "Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin."
Those who profess to be Christians are in sin if they do not do the good of protecting children (Matt 18 & 19), strangers (Rom 12:13), & giving to the needy (1 Tim 6:17-18).
Not doing those things is sin.

Anybody wanna remind Mike Johnson of a few things?
Trump: βI want to try and get to heaven, if possible. Iβm hearing Iβm not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole."
Matt 7:16 "You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?"

The Long Ukrainian Winter
How You Can Help
Russiaβs full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst. Russia launches missiles and drones at energy infrastructure to force Ukrainians to endure the freezing cold. Here's how you can help

A measles upsurge in conjunction with a lack of vaccinations and a mass rally during winter is purely coincidental. OK.

Because of course.
tRUmp is far and away *THE* most corrupt president that we've ever had. Hands down, both in terms of the volume of corruption and its degree of in-your-face blatancy. If tRUmp's lickspittle minions don't rewrite history, of course.

any discouragements to VBM preferentially benefit Republicans.

(Perhaps the rationalization is that if you're not as enthusiastic, then your vote shouldn't be worth as much. Dunno. I don't have their mentality. π)

Same in CA, but that is not relevant to the rhetoric.
The relevance is that VBM leans towards Democrats (largely because of Republican FUD). For whatever reason, Dems are not as enthusiastic about voting and it requires enthusiasm to go to the trouble of in person voting.

I bought a Cannon, but one year later, they changed the mount. When it was time for a real camera, I went with Nikon. Now itβs mirrorless and I regret Nikon. Too late.
