This Sunday Is Online Only 🎥 Will You Freeze. Fight. Flee. Fold? 🤔
|
Happy Thursday Reader! Here's what happened this week... Texas Nat'l Guard Invades Illinois... didn't have that in my cards. When I heard “Plenary Authority” at lunch, I almost choked. Then Stephen Miller froze and CNN covered for him, calling it a “technical issue.”Plenary authority means absolute power. No limits. No checks. No accountability. In the United States, no one has plenary authority. That’s the whole point of the Constitution. And yet, history tells us who claimed it before: Adolf. Benito. Vladimir. Jong-un. Whenever someone whispers “complete power,” freedom loses its breath. What Will You Do: Freeze, Fight, Flight, or FoldWhen Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote “Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?” he wasn’t just talking about the 1960s; he was talking to us. Today, we stand in the same tension. The world is loud, injustice is real, and fear is a familiar presence. So the question isn’t just “Where do we go from here?” It’s “What will you do from here?” In this message, I begin breaking down four spiritual responses: Freeze, Fight, Flight, or Fold, and reveal how each one shapes the kind of believer I become when the pressure is on. You’ll see that God doesn’t just call us to survive moments of crisis; He calls us to respond in faith, courage, and clarity. ▶️ Watch the full message now on YouTube
