Matthew 25 is not a command for the government to create a welfare state. It is a command to Christ’s followers. The government is not an individual with a soul made in the image of God. It’s a bureaucratic institution. One of the biggest mistakes Christians make is confusing the role of the Church with the role of the state. Jesus’ command in Matthew 25 is directed to His followers not to Caesar. God gave the civil government a specific responsibility: to uphold justice, restrain evil, punish wrongdoing, and preserve civil order (Romans 13:1–7). Government exists to protect life, liberty, and peace so that people can live together under the rule of law. But God gave the Church a different mission. Feeding the hungry. Rehabilitating prisoners. Caring for widows and orphans. Comforting the sick. Loving our neighbors. Showing hospitality to strangers. Bearing one another’s burdens. Those are not responsibilities we can outsource to the state. A government cannot love your neighbor for you. It also cannot spread the gospel or evangelize for you or repent. That’s on you. Christians may reasonably disagree about the appropriate scope of government assistance for the poor. But Matthew 25 has zero to do with the government. The New Testament consistently gives commands like “feed the hungry,” “care for widows,” “visit prisoners,” and “love your neighbor” to the Church and to individual believers. But not to the civil government. Christians don’t outsource obedience to the state. Christ never once commanded the Roman government or the Roman civil authorities to do anything.

"I was hungry" and you cut SNAP. "I was thirsty" and you cut funding to ensure clean water. "I was sick" and you cut medicaid. "I was a stranger" and you deported me. "I was in prison" and you exploited my labor. "Whatever you do to the least of these, you do unto me."-Jesus

We are living through a massive information crisis in which at least half the population is being systematically misinformed, making any sane national debate increasingly difficult. Without a shared factual foundation, there is nothing to discuss. People are not merely drawing different conclusions from the same evidence. They are living in entirely different realities. That is what makes the Fauci story so tragic. He caused untold harm, yet millions of people know almost nothing about it. We can debate precisely how large a role Fauci played in the creation of Covid, but half the country does not even know that Covid came from a lab. We are therefore several steps removed from the basic conditions required to have an intelligent discussion. Other facts are even more black and white. Fauci’s private diary contradicts what he told the public. His own words reveal a man of almost limitless narcissism. These are not matters of interpretation. They are documented facts. Yet we still cannot have a national conversation about them because the media either refuses to report them or actively lies about them. Anyone who is not on Twitter, which is most people, may never encounter the underlying evidence at all. The result is that I increasingly find it almost impossible to discuss any of this with ordinary people, whether family members, acquaintances, or people at events or birthday parties. Unless someone has followed the evidence closely, there is no common starting point. Before you can debate what happened, you first have to dismantle at least ten years of falsehoods and omissions. I do not know how this ends, but it is not sustainable. A country cannot function indefinitely when its people are no longer capable of discussing almost anything beyond sports on the basis of shared factual knowledge.

@sharran What do you use to pay the refi mortgages? Is that just from regular salary/business income?

This is exactly right. Same as always throughout history.

Americans who still haven’t figured this out yet need to wake up and understand this is reality: “I really hate to break it to you, but if your party controls the news media, the entertainment industry, and education, you're not part of the resistance And if the education that you received from this one-party-controlled education system forces you to rewrite history, ignore science, and divorce yourself from reality, I fear you didn't get an education at all. You got indoctrination. And if the information that you're receiving from your party is filled with so much violent rhetoric that people from your side are consistently trying to threaten and attempting to end the lives of people on the other side without any condemnation from the leaders of your side, you're on the wrong side of history” I ran all of these institutions through Grok and asked which political party controls each one of them. An unbiased AI that just looks at data and seeks truth answered that the Democrat Party controls them all People are being mass indoctrinated

@wilsonhlthcoach I think the hostility and defensiveness is a mask for insecurity with their own position and choices.

@jacksonholio @MarshaBlackburn @realDonaldTrump Yes, Democrats have ruined every thing they run. Cities, education, aid programs, government agencies. Thank you for making my point for me.

Bill Maher nails it: Islamists are slaughtering Christians in Nigeria, over 100k dead, thousands of churches burned. ‘They’re trying to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country.’ Why do students protest for Gaza but not care about this?

ELON MUSK: “My political views are very centrist. They’re not far right. Frankly, calling them far right is an insult to history and an insult to many people. It is an outrageous falsehood. It’s completely absurd. I have literally stated my position, and I’ve been very clear about this: there need to be secure borders. If there’s an influx of immigrants, then they need to be people who agree with Western ideals and Western values. If there is long-term growth of people who do not, or in some cases are adamantly opposed to Western values, you are setting yourself up for civil war. This is obvious. A child can see this, but this is not a right wing view. I'm simply stating reality.”

🚨 Elon just nuked the entire media playbook in under 90 seconds. Journalist: “You support the far-right!” Elon: “No. You support the lunatic left. What was completely normal 10-15 years ago is now called ‘far-right’… because your side went completely insane.” Safe cities. Secure borders. Biological reality. Common sense. None of that is “far-right.” It’s just not crazy. The Overton window didn’t shift right. The left sprinted off a cliff and started calling everyone who didn’t jump “extremists.” Elon said it out loud. And the media still can’t cope. Lunatic left. He’s 100% right. @elonmusk 👏🏻

@jacksonholio @MarshaBlackburn @realDonaldTrump That would be because of Memphis. Run by Democrats.

@BowTiedBroke Maybe shop someplace besides Walmart before you make generalizations about the entire population.

@michaeljknowles I could watch this all day

The reason your groceries are so high is because you’re paying for the groceries of 105.8 million others.

@MarshaBlackburn @POTUS If you don't get this passed, don't come back here expecting me to vote for you for governor.

@lisamurkowski No one believes this. Who bought you? How much?

@SenatorHagerty Honor them by passing the SAVE act.
