Believer, are you perfect? Of course not; no one is. We are on our way, and in “that day,” we will be truly complete. Until then, the Christian life, the true Christian life, is not one of ease. There are peaks and valleys, twists and turns, trials and tribulations (Jn. 16:33).

We all fail from time to time, some more than others. It is the nature of humanity. Paul struggled to do what he knew to be right, as he explains in Romans 7. Our flesh wishes to dominate, but we must walk in the spirit that we might not indulge the flesh (Gal. 5:16-24).

When failure comes, as it inevitably does, we must learn from it and move past it, put it behind and forget it, pressing forward toward our goal (Phil. 3:13-14).

Moreover, we must remember that, while we seek to be “complete in Christ” (Col. 1:28), it is not merely by our own effort. Let us share in Paul’s confidence that “He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus” (Phil. 1:6).

His goal is that He might present us “holy and blameless” before our Father (Col. 1:22), therefore, let us continue in our faith knowing that He will make us “perfect” for that day.

Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

Morning, January 28

"Perfect in Christ Jesus." Colossians 1:28

Do you not feel in your own soul that perfection is not in you? Does not every day teach you that? Every tear which trickles from your eye, weeps "imperfection"; every harsh word which proceeds from your lip, mutters "imperfection." You have too frequently had a view of your own heart to dream for a moment of any perfection in yourself. But amidst this sad consciousness of imperfection, here is comfort for you- you are "perfect in Christ Jesus." In God's sight, you are "complete in Him;" even now you are "accepted in the Beloved." But there is a second perfection, yet to be realized, which is sure to all the seed. Is it not delightful to look forward to the time when every stain of sin shall be removed from the believer, and he shall be presented faultless before the throne, without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing? The Church of Christ then will be so pure, that not even the eye of Omniscience will see a spot or blemish in her; so holy and so glorious, that Hart did not go beyond the truth when he said:

"With my Saviour's garments on,
Holy as the Holy One."

Then shall we know, and taste, and feel the happiness of this vast but short sentence, "Complete in Christ." Not till then shall we fully comprehend the heights and depths of the salvation of Jesus. Doth not thy heart leap for joy at the thought of it? Black as thou art, thou shalt be white one day; filthy as thou art, thou shalt be clean. Oh, it is a marvellous salvation this! Christ takes a worm and transforms it into an angel; Christ takes a black and deformed thing and makes it clean and matchless in His glory, peerless in His beauty, and fit to be the companion of seraphs. O my soul, stand and admire this blessed truth of perfection in Christ.

Did you know that there was a time when no income taxes were collected, how and why that changed?

In this video, you will learn that the Constitution had once prohibited the collection of income taxes (except under certain circumstances),

that the government’s source of revenue came by way of tariffs and excise taxes (that taxes on certain goods and services),

that the Northern states favored tariffs whereas the southern states did not and which was one of the reasons why South Carolina threatened to secede from the union,

the origins of critical theory and what it is,

that excessive taxation and inflation are weaponized against businesses,

that it was German immigrants who had pushed for an income tax on the wealthy,

that the first attempt to implement an income tax was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court; the court then warning that income taxes could lead to economic oppression and abuses,

that it was Theodore Roosevelt who had proposed the inheritance tax which was then followed by the corporate tax proposed and implemented under President William Taft,

that it was President Woodrow Wilson who abolished tariffs and replaced it with an income tax which at first was imposed upon the wealthy before being imposed upon all economic classes,

the true motivations for why the wealthy (not all wealthy of course) began charitable foundations,
that it was the Church that was once in charge of providing social services, what those social services were, and how the government came to take over the providing of those social services,

that it was the income tax that made it easier for socialistic policies and programs to be enacted and implemented,

and that it was the avoidance of income taxes that drove corporations and industrialists to outsource their operations to foreign countries.

Several reason why we need to abolish the income tax.

Understand where we are. This is an inflection point. What we will be talking about, and the way we talk about it, the rest of the year could very well be determined right now.

>Minneapolis=Novel Coronavirus outbreak (it means to even shutdown churches as we saw last weekend)
>Walz/Frey=Fauci/Birx (alternative leaders/messengers to Trump anointed for Left America)
>Minneapolis riots=political panic forcing lockdowns
>Suicide by ice=you just want to kill grandma
>Corporate Media claiming you must leave or risk your presidency for it will only get worse=you must lockdown or it will only get worse
>"Respectable voices" on the Right claiming we can't withstand this pressure and the blood will be on your hands, Mr. President=said the same thing about why we had to go along with lockdowns
>Leave Minneapolis=Trump buckles, lockdowns spread and he loses control and leverage to blue state/city-states in an election year and never gets it back

The cycle must be broken. Let those with ears to hear, let them hear.

"In a single century, all the great houses of continental Europe fell. All the empires that ruled the world have vanished. Not one European nation, save Muslim Albania, has a birthrate that will enable it to survive through the century. As a share of world population, peoples of European ancestry have been shrinking for three generations. The character of every Western nation is being irremediably altered as each undergoes an unresisted invasion from the Third World. We are slowly disappearing from the Earth. Having lost the will to rule, Western man seems to be losing the will to live as a unique civilization as he feverishly indulges in La Dolce Vita, with a yawning indifference as to who might inherit the Earth he once ruled. What happened to us? What happened to our world?"

In light of the recent invasion of protestors into a church in Minnesota recently, church security has been a hot topic online this past week. Some churches have none, other churches have the foresight to put into play sophisticated systems. Either way, this is something that we all need to consider. I know one pastor personally who does not play that game. He went viral for his. comments about protecting his church, and there are other pastors/content creators who agree with him. https://www.youtube.com/live/cKNMEntilk8?si=rKj2bKoTKdkh1GfS

Well, just as expected, a judge has blocked the arrest of Don Lemon for being part of the storming of a church. So, he and others have been granted permission to storm any church that they want. Christian persecutions are ramping up. And if anyone in the congregation dare to defend ourselves, WE will be arrested. America is about to face the wrath of God!
