VerseD: Galatians 5:14
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:14 ESV
This is both the easiest thing to understand and hardest to do.
Loving others looks different with every person and situation, but it is commanded of us.
God Help You, New York
The governor of New York will answer to God for his vile leadership.
I will stand for the lives of humans – yes, humans – killed (murdered) in the womb.
Those who rejoice at this law are no less pathetic than the guilty mob who cried “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
They shed the most innocent of blood on Calvary. Now the next best thing is to lift up pink lights as they butcher boys and girls.
Yes, I’m angry. But I can’t do anything about it. Only God can.
And He will.

UPDATE:
The above portion of this post was written on my iPhone after I read the first of the 3 attached articles. It made me so angry that I had to write something.

VerseD: John 15:2
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

Not all who call themselves Christians truly are. We can put on a good show, but God knows our hearts, and He judges our actions, or lack thereof.

VerseD: Galatians 5:24
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24, NASB

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
James 1:17, NASB
God does not change nor tempt with evil.
He only gives good gifts, generally to all, but specifically to His people. Most specifically, He gives grace and salvation.
