In this segment from our TV Show, we give examples of this from The Science, the Supreme Court and The Media. I lament that we can’t trust these major institutions anymore.

Was Jesus a socialist? Our latest TV special was about taxes, how politicians will always want more, it’ll never be enough, they’ll always find new ways to take from you and yet THEY are never the greedy ones.

Dominion Voting Systems is suing Fox News for $1.6 BILLION for defamation. We will explain what's going on here. The big lesson is the importance of being able to hear "the hard truth". Paul didn't hold back when he almost got into a shipwreck, and Joshua didn't hold back when Achan's family failed to tell him what needed to be said. We must be people who love the truth.

MORNING MOTIVATIONAL: POOR IN SPIRIT, What it means
The greek word Jesus used for "poor" means "one who is bent or folded, utterly destitute." It is someone who is so poor, they are reduced to begging. They are completely unable to provide on their own and can only rely on the gifts of others. It also means "to be thoroughly frightened, to cower down or hide one's self for fear." If you want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, this is where you start.
