Pastor James Coates preached on Joshua 1:7 in the 13-minute video excerpt of this post. The following are a few points from the sermon: Biblical courage is the resolve to do what God demands in the face of any and all opposition, regardless of the outcome or cost, and to do it in a Christ-like manner as fruit of the Spirit, otherwise, your courage is fleshly. To be strong and courageous is to be resolute in the discharge of duty. As: 1Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. As: 16:13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. God called Joshua to have such convictions

The 10-minute excerpt in this post is a Megyn Kelly interview with Victor Davis Hanson wherein they discuss the hypocrisy of the left when the consequences of their own ideologies impact them.

Photos of ‘Perfectly Formed’ 14-Week Miscarried Baby Are Saving Lives: ‘He Was Not Medical Waste’ – Epoch Times
‘The truth is being exposed … He wasn’t just a blob of cells,’ says the mom. A Missouri mom has shared the photos of her miscarried 14-week-old son with the world. The images of her fragile, under-developed baby—who already had a “perfectly formed” face that resembled his brother’s—are now giving hope to parents who are struggling to make the choice: to abort or not. The photos prove how amazingly developed a baby in the first trimester can be.
The Church, the State, and the Fight for Life – R C Sproul
From one of our live events, R.C. Sproul discusses the distinct roles of the church and the state in addressing one of the most serious ethical issues that America has ever faced: abortion. [In the video interview, Sproul speaks from a biblical worldview, anyone who subscribes to the very recent worldview of evolution will misinterpret his remarks. I linked a recent post wherein these two worldviews are contrasted; and quoted a few scriptures that speak of God as Judge of His universe.]
Secret Service Enforce Border Around Kamala Harris’ Home – American Faith
When asked by a reporter just outside the vice president’s home if the migrant believes Harris’ assertion that the southern border is closed, the foreign national answered, “The border is open…everybody believes that the border is open. It’s open because we enter. We come in, free, no problem…We came illegally.” …On Sept. 11, just days before the migrants were delivered outside her door, Harris was interviewed on “Meet the Press” by NBC’s Chuck Todd when she assured viewers that the border is “secure.” “The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular, over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed,” Harris said. [She is trying to blame the problem on guess who? Former president Trump.]
Biblical Creation VS Evolution – By Pastor Patrick Hines
In this post, Pastor Patrick Hines discusses the theories of creation and evolution. Many young readers may never have heard what he discusses from the Bible; people who were in high school between the years of 1968 and 1987 may not have heard each stated in a equal manner, as theories. Afterwards, only evolution was taught in biology class. If you have never read through the Bible, and you call yourself Christian, then please listen to this video. I provided highlight points for the initial 16 minutes which covered introductory remarks
Exercising Before Breakfast May Provide Substantial Health Benefits – Study – Epoch Times
The study was conducted over a period of 6 weeks with 30 men classified as overweight or obese. During the study, researchers examined a group who ate breakfast before exercising, a group that ate breakfast after exercising, and the control group who made no changes…. The results of the data collected show that moderate-intensity exercising before eating breakfast can help regulate insulin, regulate blood sugar, as well as burn more fat.
‘The Detransition Diaries’: Film Explores the Lives of Ex-transgender Women – Epoch Times
Jennifer Lahl, a former nurse and an independent film producer based in California, believes the “powerful testimonies” of these “detransitioners” about their gender confusion, doubt, and regret will resonate deeply with those who watch the documentary, “The Detransition Diaries: Saving Our Sisters.” “I thought this is a great way to communicate to people what’s happening to children at the hands of medical professionals,” Lahl told the Epoch Times…. Lahl said another reason for making the film is to challenge the narratives on transgender ideology, because transgender activists “don’t want to hear about anybody who regrets their decision.”
Depleting America’s Emergency Oil Supply to Elect Democrats – Epoch Times
Despite the fact that attacking rich oil companies is a favored Democratic Party talking point, President Joe Biden has for all intents and purposes been converting oil into campaign cash for his party’s House and Senate candidates as their mid-term campaigns go into high gear–and it doesn’t take any investigative reporting to trace it. This president has been abusing his executive powers over the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which is only supposed to be tapped into during times of emergency, and Democrats at risk of losing congressional seats doesn’t qualify as one of those times…. Petroleum remains what it has been for over a century: the lifeblood of the modern economy throughout the world. Democrats have abused it every which way, whether it’s restricting its use out of green extremism or manipulating its price in an undemocratic yearning to retain power in Washington.
