Joyful, joyful, we adore You,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before You,
Op'ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!
All Your works with joy surround You,
Earth and heav'n reflect Your rays,
Stars and angels sing around You,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flow'ry meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Praising You eternally!
Always giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean-depth of happy rest!
Loving Father, Christ our Brother,
Let Your light upon us shine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.
Thread from @michaelfarris, constitutional law attorney. (The link I tweeted is to his post. Just because it’s on Facebook doesn’t mean it’s an invalid argument or source.)
Jesus affirms that marriage is between a man and a woman only (Matt 19:1-12), and affirms marriage is the only context where a sexual relationship is moral. This eliminates any context where homosexuality is moral. See also Rom 1:26–27, 1 Cor 6:9–10, and 1 Tim 1:9–10.
Consent, harm to society, and other intellectual based "proofs" are not the issue. A person cannot claim to be a Christian and consistently intentionally disregard God's rules of morality—any of them.
We have been given all that we need to live rightly and grow in the knowledge of Truth and obey it. Faith is more than belief. It is action and living according to sincerely held belief. This is what "exercise of religion" means.
🚨@TeamTrump filed lawsuit in Pennsylvania. Key points:
➡️682,479 mail-in allots without review by political parties
➡️Dem-majority counties provided no meaningful access or actual opportunity to review mail-in ballots
➡️Dem-heavy counties violated mandates of Election Code
➡️Dem-heavy counties engaged in pre-canvass activities prior to Nov 3, 2020 to notify voters to allow them to cure ballot deficiencies by voting provisionally on Election Day or getting a replacement ballot.
➡️GOP-heavy counties followed the rule of law, unable to cure ballots.
➡️Dems egregious conduct, evidenced by sworn statements, is misconduct including ignoring legislative mandates concerning mail-in ballots which amounted to more than 2.6M of the approx 6.75M votes in PA.
➡️PA officials also mailing second unsolicited mail-in ballots to voters
THIS MOMENT was huge today. President @realDonaldTrump took a firm stand for legitimate authority over our nihilistic postmodern society that denies objective truth. 1/
God ordained civil government, church government, and family government under His ultimate authority. 2/
Our Commander in Chief and seat of civil government recognizing the importance of the Church as an institution necessary to a well-ordered, just, and peaceful society is truly one of the greatest pictures and moments in American history. 3/
