There are two 1 minute acapella videos in this post that use only words of scripture. The vocalist’s voice is lovely. If you should happen to want to memorize either of them, singing along with her will certainly aid you.

Mayor of North Las Vegas Switches From Democrat to Republican: Epoch Times
“They had an election recently for leadership, and four of the five people were card-carrying members of the Socialistic Party,” North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee told Fox News on Tuesday. “It’s not the party that I grew up with 25 years ago in this environment, and it’s not the party I can stand with anymore.” He was referring to an incident last month where top Nevada Democratic Party staffers resigned at once after supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) won an election to control most positions on the committee’s board. It came as Judith Whitmer, a member of the Las Vegas chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, was elected chair of the state party.
The Golden Rule, Dr. Patrick Ramsey
Dr. Ramsey just finished preaching through the 10 commandments from Deuteronomy 5; this sermon is a capstone of sorts to that series. In other words, he talks about the golden rule in terms of the 10 commandments; he also tied in other significant passages of scripture such as Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount; and Jesus’ words in Matthew 22:37ff – when He talked about loving God and ones neighbor.
He began by talking about what the golden rule is not; and how not to use it. Then Dr. Ramsey talked about how social relationships flourish when people follow the golden rule and why that is so.
Huckabee, On The Evangelicals Open Letter To Biden About Abortion
I consider Huckabee to be a reasonable voice when it comes to news, especially regarding politics. His take on the evangelicals for Biden is similar to that of the Epoch Times, which I posted earlier this week.
If you are a professed Christian that cares about the abortion issue, then please spend 5 minutes listening to Huckabee on the matter:
Arizona and Montana Take Legal Action Against Biden Admin ICE Arrest Regulations: Epoch Times
“If asked about the poorest policy choice I’ve ever seen in government, this would be a strong contender,” Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in a statement. “Blindly releasing thousands of people, including convicted criminals and those who may be spreading COVID-19 into our state, is both unconscionable and a violation of federal law. This must be stopped now to avoid a dangerous humanitarian crisis for the immigrants and the people of Arizona.” …Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen joined Brnovich in the lawsuit. Both filed for a preliminary injunction aiming to block the regulations from going into effect. “Meth trafficked into Montana by Mexican drug cartels has wracked our state. The problem will only be made worse if the Biden administration continues to allow criminals to stay in the country,” Knudsen stated. “Enforcing our immigration laws and helping to keep Americans safe is one of the federal government’s most important functions. The Biden administration is failing its basic responsibility to Americans.”
Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden ‘Feel Used and Betrayed:’ Open Letter: Epoch Times
On Sunday, Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden wrote an open letter to President Joe Biden, calling on him to “honor his commitment,” telling him they “feel used and betrayed,” pointing at the exclusion of the Hyde Amendment in the Democrat’s $1.9 trillion CCP virus relief package…
Kansas City Archbishop Joseph Naumann said in a recent interview that Biden should acknowledge that his support for abortion contradicts his professed Catholic faith.“The president should stop defining himself as a devout Catholic, and acknowledge that his view on abortion is contrary to Catholic moral teaching,” Naumann said.
“It would be a more honest approach from him to say he disagreed with his church on this important issue and that he was acting contrary to church teaching,” the archbishop added.
Teen Mom’s Journey of Canceling Abortion to Raising 8 Kids: ‘Motherhood Is Not a Drawback’: Epoch Times
Over 20 years ago, a pregnant high-schooler, fearing that her dreams and ambitions were at stake, scheduled for aborting her unborn son after a planned parenthood counseling convinced her that she was carrying nothing more than a “clump of cells.” But a family intervention led to a change of heart, and she forged her life path toward purposeful living and inspiring others. Her son is now a 21-year-old young man. Today, Becky Martin is a happily married mom of eight and a vocal pro-life advocate from her home in the Midwest. Regaling her life story to The Epoch Times, the doting mom, and an avid Math lover, said “motherhood is not a drawback” and kids are “not detrimental” to success.
The Left’s Attack on the Nuclear Family Echoes Language of CCP: Morgan Zegers: Epoch Times
“The left’s attack on the nuclear family … all goes into that growing support for socialism, that collectivist mindset that we’re seeing in America,” Zegers told The Epoch Times’ “Crossroads” at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida, last week. …Young Americans Against Socialism is a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to exposing socialism’s failures by creating viral educational videos for social media.
Opinion: Joe Biden Just Made the Worst Foreign Policy Blunder Since 1950: Epoch Times
By dismissing the Chinese regime’s atrocities against the Uyghurs, a Muslim minority who live in Xinjiang in northwest China, as part of “different norms,” Biden could be plunging the world into an international crisis sooner than any of us could have imagined. …Regardless of the luxuries in which Americans live, it remains true that, in every era, there are regimes that are barbaric or seek domination of their people and often the regions around them, if not more. China is one such country. Recently, it was reported by the New York Post that “The State Department said it was ‘deeply disturbed’ by a report that claims Muslim women being held in Chinese re-education camps detaining millions of Uighurs are being systematically raped, sexually abused and tortured.” While not every atrocity can be remedied by the United States, none of them should be tolerated. All of them should be met by statements from our Commander in Chief that America aspires for freedom for everyone and that no atrocity can be justified or tolerated….
You must not commit adultery; Deuteronomy 5:18
Herein, pastor Patrick Ramsey discussed the 7th commandment in terms of one’s relationships to God, spouse and family; the specifics of his sermon leave one with much to consider if he would be more in line with God’s command, knowing the blessings that God intended for mankind to experience in a covenantal relationship. If you only think, “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,” when you think about the 7th command, then you will greatly expand your understanding of that command by hearing his sermon
