WHAT’S ON WHAT’S UP TODAY:

Why not just take all the money from the richest five guys in America.

Surely that would fund the federal government for eons… nope, just about two months….

Why not tax everything for those making over $660,000…. Nope. Would only fund the federal government about four months.

So, what do Democrats do: they take $500 from a working man and give $100 to five people who don’t work.

Are World Leaders Privately Praising President Trump?

President Trump stands tall against Green Energy.

But: will a future Democrat President Reverse the gains against high energy prices?

Is Artificial Intelligence contributing to the need for more reliable, affordable energy?

Answer: Yes.

Mark Lanier discusses Paul’s Point.

Pastor Jarrett Stephens continues his sermon on: Staying Committed.

PROBLEM SOLVED: LET’S TAKE THE RICH PEOPLE’S MONEY TO FUND THE GOVERNMENT. WRONG!

Discussed by Mark Tapscott
with The Washington Stand (www.WashingtonStand.com/)

Can anyone, including the five richest people in America, freely write a check to the Federal Government for any amount – just because they want to help reduce the Federal debt?

Today, new guest Mark Tapscott reveals some statistics that the Left really REALLY does not want the American public to know. Mark is a Veteran investigative reporter and the Senior Congressional Analyst with The Washington Stand.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Who are the five richest Americans? How much wealth could be confiscated from them to help pay down our debt? How long would WDC function with their wealth? ANSWER: SHOCKING

How long would the federal government function by taxing 100% of the wealth of every American earning more than $660,000? ANSWER: SHOCKING

What is Mandani proposing? What is Ocasio-Cortez proposing? Does Bernie Sanders advocate for their plans?

BOTTOM LINE: Is the problem simply too much spending? Mark Tapscott explains that the problem goes much, much deeper that just too much spending.

Can America simply tell the countries we owe money to “We’re not going to pay it back”?

Have any WDC elected officials – Republican or Democrat – presented a plan to reduce the budget and pay down our debt? Mark reveals the major differences between the two parties and why they just cannot agree on this very, very important issue.

WHAT IS PAUL’S POINT IN ROMANS 8?

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 4

WHY DOES OUR PERSONAL MINDSET ABOUT LIFE MATTER? DOES IT REALLY EFFECT OUR ATTITUDE AND DECISIONS?

Mark Lanier continues with his Romans series this week, explaining what he believes is the entire point of the book. What is the foundation? What is the chiasm that appears in Romans 8? And what is the outcome that Paul was hoping to achieve?

To view Mark Lanier’s video for this lesson, click here.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

THE CHIASM (Romans 8:5-8)

What are the ABC’s of these verses? In other words… What did Paul want us to learn? What is the purpose? What is the outcome?


A: Two kinds of people (vs 5,8)

What are the choices we have when it comes to sin? This should be a no-brainer, but it’s obviously not!

Can we please God if we are living in our flesh?

Did Paul offer us a “middle ground” option? HINT: Nope.


B: Two mindsets (vs 5,7)

Mark has a great visual illustration to explain this and it can be found at the above link around the 57-minute mark.

STAYING COMMITTED

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 4

WHY DOES IT SEEM THAT WHENEVER CHRISTIANS ARE DOING GOD’S WORK, THE OPPOSITION WILL HIT FROM EVERY SIDE?

Pastor Jarrett Stephens continues in his sermon series entitled NEXT: From Northwest Houston to the World. The series is focusing on Nehemiah, whose burden for the people produced a bold faith to fulfill God’s promises.

This week, he will examine two threats that can short-circuit our commitment to God and how Nehemiah dealt with those threats.

Scripture Reference: Nehemiah 4-6

Find Pastor Jarrett Stephens’ sermon here.

If you have questions about a sermon, please contact Champion Forest at questions@cfbc.org

Questions/Issues Discussed:

THREAT #2: Inside Opposition

Was Nehemiah aware of the opposition among the Jewish people?

How did he respond to that opposition? Quote from Stephen Davey: “From the very first church in Jerusalem to the church in Corinth to the Church today, the greatest threat to the testimony and advancement of Christianity may very well be Christians.”

Will God ever bless division within the Church? (Psalm 133:1; John 17:20-21)


NEHEMIAH’S RESPONSE:

He prays.

He confronts.

He works.


If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

O Mighty Father, Creator and Sustainer of All,

Place your shield of protection over our service men and women. Protect Israel and her people.

Guide our leaders in combatting the evil of our day – overseas and here at home.

May we humble ourselves, fall to our knees, and seek forgiveness for our sins. As we rise from prayer, may we run from wickedness and seek your way.

Father God, hear our pleas and heal our land.

Accept our humble prayer, lifted by and through the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen
