Do you have peace in the midst of the storm? When your ship is ready to strike the rocks, are you able to remain steady and calm and still find joy? If not, the Lord OSS able to provide such stability. Have faith in God through Jesus Christ, and He will see you through all of life’s storms.

"For there stood by me this night the angel of God." Acts 27:23

Tempest and long darkness, coupled with imminent risk of shipwreck, had brought the crew of the vessel into a sad case; one man alone among them remained perfectly calm, and by his word the rest were reassured. Paul was the only man who had heart enough to say, "Sirs, be of good cheer." There were veteran Roman legionaries on board, and brave old mariners, and yet their poor Jewish prisoner had more spirit than they all. He had a secret Friend who kept his courage up. The Lord Jesus despatched a heavenly messenger to whisper words of consolation in the ear of His faithful servant, therefore he wore a shining countenance and spake like a man at ease.

If we fear the Lord, we may look for timely interpositions when our case is at its worst. Angels are not kept from us by storms, or hindered by darkness. Seraphs think it no humiliation to visit the poorest of the heavenly family. If angels' visits are few and far between at ordinary times, they shall be frequent in our nights of tempest and tossing. Friends may drop from us when we are under pressure, but our intercourse with the inhabitants of the angelic world shall be more abundant; and in the strength of love-words, brought to us from the throne by the way of Jacob's ladder, we shall be strong to do exploits. Dear reader, is this an hour of distress with you? then ask for peculiar help. Jesus is the angel of the covenant, and if His presence be now earnestly sought, it will not be denied. What that presence brings in heart-cheer those remember who, like Paul, have had the angel of God standing by them in a night of storm, when anchors would no longer hold, and rocks were nigh.

"O angel of my God, be near,
Amid the darkness hush my fear;
Loud roars the wild tempestuous sea,
Thy presence, Lord, shall comfort me."

THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME!!! IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN EVERY STATE!!!

BREAKING: IDAHO SIGNS LAW — EXECUTION BY FIRING SQUAD FOR PEDOPHILES

American justice just made a comeback. Idaho now authorizes execution by firing squad for anyone convicted of sexually abusing a child under 12. No more loopholes. No more second chances. Only a bullet.

Governor Brad Little didn’t sign a bill — he declared WAR on the monsters hiding behind legal shields. While other states cower behind “reform,” Idaho drew a blood-red line: if you violate a child, you don’t deserve to live.

The law is simple. If you're convicted of lewd conduct with a child under 12 — you’re eligible for death. Not in 30 years. Not after 12 appeals. Not a needle. A bullet.

The state’s message? There’s no place in society for pedophiles. You don’t get therapy. You don’t get prison. You get erased.

This isn’t political theater. This is retribution. For the thousands of victims silenced while the system played defense for predators. For the parents who never saw justice. For the children who never made it out alive.

For too long, America has coddled monsters. Courtrooms handed out light sentences. Academia played with words like “minor-attracted.” Media tiptoed around the truth. But Idaho cut through it all — and fired the first shot.

The backlash? Predictable. The leftist media is shrieking. “Barbaric!” they cry. Human rights groups panic. Progressive lawyers call it “dangerous.” But ask yourself — who are they protecting?

Parents are cheering. Law enforcement is standing taller. Victims are finally seeing the justice they were promised. And across red states, lawmakers are being told: “Do the same — or step aside.”

President Trump backed it immediately. “Protect the children. Always.” No hesitation. No excuses. Just strength. And now other governors are feeling the pressure. Because the people have had enough.

This isn’t just about one state. It’s a signal flare to the rest of the country:
The fire has started. And the flames are coming.

To the predators, the message is clear: America isn’t your hunting ground anymore. You lay a hand on a child — the next sound you’ll hear is the rifle’s crack.

Finally, the children are being protected. With bullets.

If Calvary is a place of which you have never heard, it is time. Calvary is the hill on which was planted the cross upon which Jesus Christ died for your sins. Yes, you have sins. No, your "good works" cannot balance them. God's standard is perfection and only One has ever lived up to it - Jesus. He gave His life, His sinless life of perfect obedience, so that you in your disobedience could be reconciled to God. Turn to Him. Have faith in Him. Receive Him and know peace with God that can come only through Him.

Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotions

Morning, April 10

"The place which is called Calvary." Luke 23:33

The hill of comfort is the hill of Calvary; the house of consolation is built with the wood of the cross; the temple of heavenly blessing is founded upon the riven rock- riven by the spear which pierced His side. No scene in sacred history ever gladdens the soul like Calvary's tragedy.

"Is it not strange, the darkest hour
That ever dawned on sinful earth,
Should touch the heart with softer power,
For comfort, than an angel's mirth?
That to the Cross the mourner's eye should turn,
Sooner than where the stars of Bethlehem burn?"

Light springs from the midday-midnight of Golgotha, and every herb of the field blooms sweetly beneath the shadow of the once accursed tree. In that place of thirst, grace hath dug a fountain which ever gusheth with waters pure as crystal, each drop capable of alleviating the woes of mankind. You who have had your seasons of conflict, will confess that it was not at Olivet that you ever found comfort, not on the hill of Sinai, nor on Tabor; but Gethsemane, Gabbatha, and Golgotha have been a means of comfort to you. The bitter herbs of Gethsemane have often taken away the bitters of your life; the scourge of Gabbatha has often scourged away your cares, and the groans of Calvary yields us comfort rare and rich. We never should have known Christ's love in all its heights and depths if He had not died; nor could we guess the Father's deep affection if He had not given His Son to die. The common mercies we enjoy all sing of love, just as the sea-shell, when we put it to our ears, whispers of the deep sea whence it came; but if we desire to hear the ocean itself, we must not look at everyday blessings, but at the transactions of the crucifixion. He who would know love, let him retire to Calvary and see the Man of sorrows die.

Fear is a powerful motivator. It is for this reason it is used by governments for control and by terrorists for leverage. But the one who is in Jesus Christ has nothing to fear from man nor devil. Evil may claim a Christian’s life, but it can never claim a Christian’s spirit; for the Christian belongs to God and God alone. God is the One who should be feared above all, because those who reject Him will face far more dire consequences than they can fathom. This is why Jesus tells His followers, “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” - Matthew 10:28

"I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me." Psalm 23:4

Behold, how independent of outward circumstances the Holy Ghost can make the Christian! What a bright light may shine within us when it is all dark without! How firm, how happy, how calm, how peaceful we may be, when the world shakes to and fro, and the pillars of the earth are removed! Even death itself, with all its terrible influences, has no power to suspend the music of a Christian's heart, but rather makes that music become more sweet, more clear, more heavenly, till the last kind act which death can do is to let the earthly strain melt into the heavenly chorus, the temporal joy into the eternal bliss! Let us have confidence, then, in the blessed Spirit's power to comfort us. Dear reader, are you looking forward to poverty? Fear not; the divine Spirit can give you, in your want, a greater plenty than the rich have in their abundance. You know not what joys may be stored up for you in the cottage around which grace will plant the roses of content. Are you conscious of a growing failure of your bodily powers? Do you expect to suffer long nights of languishing and days of pain? O be not sad! That bed may become a throne to you. You little know how every pang that shoots through your body may be a refining fire to consume your dross- a beam of glory to light up the secret parts of your soul. Are the eyes growing dim? Jesus will be your light. Do the ears fail you? Jesus' name will be your soul's best music, and His person your dear delight. Socrates used to say, "Philosophers can be happy without music;" and Christians can be happier than philosophers when all outward causes of rejoicing are withdrawn. In Thee, my God, my heart shall triumph, come what may of ills without! By thy power, O blessed Spirit, my heart shall be exceeding glad, though all things should fail me here below.

"In the name of the Lord I will destroy them." Psalm 118:12

Our Lord Jesus, by His death, did not purchase a right to a part of us only, but to the entire man. He contemplated in His passion the sanctification of us wholly, spirit, soul, and body; that in this triple kingdom He Himself might reign supreme without a rival. It is the business of the newborn nature which God has given to the regenerate to assert the rights of the Lord Jesus Christ. My soul, so far as thou art a child of God, thou must conquer all the rest of thyself which yet remains unblest; thou must subdue all thy powers and passions to the silver sceptre of Jesus' gracious reign, and thou must never be satisfied till He who is King by purchase becomes also King by gracious coronation, and reigns in thee supreme. Seeing, then, that sin has no right to any part of us, we go about a good and lawful warfare when we seek, in the name of God, to drive it out. O my body, thou art a member of Christ: shall I tolerate thy subjection to the prince of darkness? O my soul, Christ has suffered for thy sins, and redeemed thee with His most precious blood: shall I suffer thy memory to become a storehouse of evil, or thy passions to be firebrands of iniquity? Shall I surrender my judgment to be perverted by error, or my will to be led in fetters of iniquity? No, my soul, thou art Christ's, and sin hath no right to thee.

Be courageous concerning this, O Christian! be not dispirited, as though your spiritual enemies could never be destroyed. You are able to overcome them- not in your own strength- the weakest of them would be too much for you in that; but you can and shall overcome them through the blood of the Lamb. Do not ask, "How shall I dispossess them, for they are greater and mightier than I?" but go to the strong for strength, wait humbly upon God, and the mighty God of Jacob will surely come to the rescue, and you shall sing of victory through His grace.

FBI AGENT ARRESTED TRYING TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY

How can the government loose people, that are in the system?

I can't understand why nor how the government can "loose" any information regarding illegals. Here is why. I worked for the state of Illinois, in 2005-2005 I worked in a division of DHS. It was called "All Kids" at the time. It was called many different names, the latest being "obama care". I know that this was at least in one other state as well. I and someone else commented on a post on MeWe. It was going on in the 70's as well. It was an, "insurance" if you remember. BUT it was more than that.

We had 2 floors, of a state building, filing cabinets, banana boxes everywhere. Yes banana boxes lined the hallways. Boxes on top of filing cabinets.

EVERYONE was entered into the system.

The illegals were brought up, by the government. In Illinois, they were GIVEN: Homes, Businesses, Clothing, Phones, Vehicles, Free Insurance, Phones, EVERYTHING. Kicker, I will never forget, a so called "family" of 3, different last names, came across my desk. They were up from the border within 3 days time. They were taken to Chicago, to the Social Security office. They received, along with Everything else, $5,600 a month. It was called "temporary" Social Security.

BUT there was no such thing as "temporary" and Illegals weren't getting anything for free. That is the answer that they would give anyone that tried to find out about it.

I had a friend that I had known from school, she always worked, till she found out that she had MS. Three different times, she went to try to get on disability SS. Was told, no, she could work, the third time, she was in both leg and arm braces. Years later, she was Finally able to get a lousy $300.00 a month.

My ex husband, was a walker (mail carrier) (walked the hills to deliver mail) for the post office in St. Louis. He was going through a lot of pain, had 5 discs rubbing. Bone on bone. He called me and told me that he was told there was no such thing as "temporary" SS. Because at the time, he was going though the post office, and they were NOT willing, as we all know, it is hard to get "workman's comp". So he went to the SS office.

I knew, of people that were AMERICAN'S that were NOT making it on the EXTREMELY low SS, they had paid into.

I tried every way to get transferred into a different department, and wasn't allowed. So on December 5th 2005, I quit.

So, you see, many of you think that the illegals have JUST been coming up in RECENT years, no, but for DECADES.

And, you now see, if you didn't already know that YOU are paying, IF you are on "obama care" and they never did.

The illegals ALSO received the Money for seven years, once started. Which was immediately.

They don't come WALKING up in flip flops, New Clean clothes, New phones, etc. That is all staged.

The only "good thing" that came out of this. I knew what was going on, and can tell everyone, everywhere. I tried then, and no one would listen.....

Are you listening now....

ABLECHILD: Butler Assassination Attempt Documents Locked Down in Congressman Kelly’s Office, as Case Goes Cold on Link to ‘Crooks’

Most go through life never acknowledging the spiritual sickness they suffer, the sin to which they are enslaved. It is easier to reject God or any moral responsibility to a higher authority. But God knows. God sees. And rather than leave us to wallow in our fallen state, in His love, He sent His Son, Jesus, to suffer a brutal death on a cross to bring us spiritual healing. Only through faith in Him may we receive this blessed benefit.

"With His stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5

Pilate delivered our Lord to the lictors to be scourged. The Roman scourge was a most dreadful instrument of torture. It was made of the sinews of oxen, and sharp bones were inter-twisted every here and there among the sinews; so that every time the lash came down these pieces of bone inflicted fearful laceration, and tore off the flesh from the bone. The Saviour was, no doubt, bound to the column, and thus beaten. He had been beaten before; but this of the Roman lictors was probably the most severe of His flagellations. My soul, stand here and weep over His poor stricken body.

Believer in Jesus, can you gaze upon Him without tears, as He stands before you the mirror of agonizing love? He is at once fair as the lily for innocence, and red as the rose with the crimson of His own blood. As we feel the sure and blessed healing which His stripes have wrought in us, does not our heart melt at once with love and grief? If ever we have loved our Lord Jesus, surely we must feel that affection glowing now within our bosoms.

"See how the patient Jesus stands,
Insulted in His lowest case!
Sinners have bound the Almighty's hands,
And spit in their Creator's face.
With thorns His temples gor'd and gash'd
Send streams of blood from every part;
His back's with knotted scourges lash'd.
But sharper scourges tear His heart."

We would fain go to our chambers and weep; but since our business calls us away, we will first pray our Beloved to print the image of His bleeding self upon the tablets of our hearts all the day, and at nightfall we will return to commune with Him, and sorrow that our sin should have cost Him so dear.

Are You Old Enough to Remember Where You Were When JFK was Assassinated?
https://slantedright2.blogspot.com/2025/03/are-you-old-enough-to-remember-where.html

SUMMARY: A few decades ago if someone asked, “Where were you when President John Kennedy was assassinate?” The implication being you were alive when the incident occurred. … Today, I am in my 68th year of existence. I was born November 20, 1956. When Kennedy was assassinated on 11/22/63 it was two days after my seventh birthday. I remember the assassination through the lens of my childhood. … AND SO, I ran into an interesting post from Dr. Malone on a mythical Prosecution statement of Lyndon Baines Johnson (Kennedy’s successor for those too young to remember or care to know) for being involved in President Kennedy’s assassination. …JFK SLEUTHS WILL LOVE THIS!

Someone asked me about the coolest car I ever owned. She was a beautiful, candy apple red 2 door 5 speed Pontiac Grand Am with a full spoiler kit, tinted windows and a Bose stereo system. I drove her off the lot with 7 miles on her, and when I finally got rid of her 13 years later, she had over 350,000 miles on her.

The Lord's Prayer
Mat 6:5  And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 
Mat 6:6  But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 
Mat 6:7  But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 
Mat 6:8  Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 
Mat 6:9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 
Mat 6:10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 
Mat 6:11  Give us this day our daily bread. 
Mat 6:12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 
Mat 6:13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 
Mat 6:14  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

SUMMARY: I found an interesting interview conducted by Alex Newman with George Simion. … The crux of the reasoning for interest is in late 2024, a corrupt Romanian government/judicial system vacated the election process that had Călin Georgescu win the first round of Romanian voting. … What is happening in Romania is the epitome of reasoning the USA should reinstate the Isolationist Foreign Policies that served to keep America OUT of European intrigues and entanglements that have plagued that continent for hundreds of years. …READ & WATCH!

I listen to several podcasts daily. This episode of the Steve Deace Show (carried on BlazeTV) from yesterday (3/14/25) was a special pre-recorded episode used as a filler while Deace was out of town speaking at a conference. It's a 96 minute discussion between Deace and his co-hosts of a deep dive article published in Tablet magazine this past January analysing how the social/cultural/political/media landscape was changed and manipulated since 2000. It explains most of what we've seen in the last couple decades and the dizzying speed of the changes jammed down our throats. The term blitzkrieg came to mind (COVID) and the term signal jamming was used in the discussion. Make sure to listen to the last segment.

It's a wide-ranging discussion that meshes nicely with Dr. Robert Malone's discussions of PsyWar; I've included a link to one of his most recent Substack posts on the topic below. His book PsyWar: Enforcing the New World Order was published last October and is available as an audiobook.
