We should know the fear of the Lord and should seek to please Him, aware of the imminent day of #judgment

We hope in the resurrection and its liberation from corruption, decay, sin, and death. 

Thus we do well to follow Jesus #faithfully and #persuade people to do likewise.

Trump expulsa de la CIA por "traición" a su mayor experta en Rusia: "Suenan copas de champán en Moscú y Pekín"

La funcionaria purgada llevaba más de dos décadas en el servicio y dirigió en 2016 la elaboración del informe que documentó la injerencia rusa en las elecciones presidenciales en favor de Trump. La medida, presentada como un castigo a quienes “traicionaron su juramento a la Constitución”, supone un golpe sin precedentes contra el corazón del aparato de inteligencia estadounidense. Más información: El director del FBI encuentra documentos clasificados sobre el Russiagate en "bolsas para quemar" en una sala secreta

The Form of Politics and Perjury

Politics and perjury are similar because they both utilize a narrative encompassing words used to persuade an audience toward action while ignoring evidence of the truth.

"Christians are to persuade by love, witness, Spirit, reason, rhetoric, and, if need be, by martyrdom; but never by force.

"Thus a healthy and faithful church neither wants nor seeks the power of the state for the purpose of advancing the kingdom of Christ.

"When we seek the sword, we forsake the cross."

The Republican strategy of #disenfranchisement is a state-by-state strategy.

It looks like #judicial #rule where they cannot win.

Where they cannot win by judicial rule, they will rule by #procedural #theft.

Where they cannot persuade voters to vote for them, they will #persuade the #candidate they voted for to become one of them.

This Republican strategy of #winning #by #losing can work in any state, but it is most brutally efficient in states where we consider nonwhite voters — especially Black voters — inherently illegitimate.

I tried to meet your overstepping my boundaries with a firm position. Eventually, I crumbled away under the pressure.

I pushed back and tried to #persuade you to see rhyme and reason again.

I realise, now, this does not work. No, I remember.
Love sets free. I let go.

Slickety-slick had to #persuade fleshies to invest in bitty-bit coins, but the humming in his inner ear was out of tune with the fluorescents. He chewed on another 9-volt, which made his jaw jittery, but calmed his stim chips. Another twenty three and they'd regrow his third arm.
