18 While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him.
Matthew 4:18-20

To all my Apostolic brothers and sisters here, please get yourself a copy of this book. It will change your life! God has used the author to expound on so many principles that we’ve questioned for so long. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
So which side of the Isle do you stand on?
The side of Godlessness, people who purposely caused defrauding of an election? Then fly out to have a vacation on our tax dollars after they think they got away doing the “dirty”?
Or Gods side, where His people are being systematically shut down and shut up illegally. Businesses are closing, churches are being shut down, Christians are being deleted and shut up on the internet, conservatives are being attacked in the streets by racist bigots. Not Fake but Real Issues.
Shame on the American people who voted for racism, shame on Americans who voted to snip babies spinal cords on their way out of the birth canal, shame on Americans who voted to cut God out of every avenue in government and home lives, shame. YOU are the problem.

More Bang for Your Buck Running Scared
Brennan Bestwick
Isaac is woken by the hinge of his door. Before morning can open its red eye. Abraham is in orange head to steel toed boots. The pickup idles in the drive. A thermos of coffee in the cup holder. Isaac is gifted his first rifle. Isaac who jumps at the sound of thunder follows his father up the deer stand ladder. The boy who can’t look down. Abraham believes time is right to give his son to God’s country. To teach him to live off the land. Abraham is never gun shy when his shot grazes square in front of him. A twelve point buck. A fawn skipping behind it. The boy closes his eyes. Pulls the trigger. Misses. Hears Abraham’s low sigh. Watches the deer bolt. His chest pounding just as quick. Both of them spared. Next time. Abraham offers, a heavy pat on his son’s shoulder. Isaac winces. Feels the purple blush of a bruise begin to kick over his collarbone. Eye of the fawn wisening.

The Virgin Mary is one of the key symbols of Christianity, and a woman whose cult changed the world. However, she may be one of the most misunderstood biblical figures. According to researchers, the famous story of a woman who had never had sexual contact with a man yet gave birth was caused by a mistake in the translation of ancient text. If this is true, what did the ancient text originally say? Could there have been a misinterpretation of the meaning of the word used to define this iconic religious figure?
if you ever call me angel, i hope you reffer to biblically accurate angels, described in the Book of Daniel as spirit beings with face like a lightning bolt, eyes like flaming torches of fire, arms and legs that gleam like polished chrome, and voice like that of thunder.
