You are either at peace with God or you are at war with Him. In an effort by Catholic academics and backed by some bishops, there is an effort to remove the Pope if he will not resign. In Miami, two men raped a woman in video for their only fans account, but a judge ruled there was no evidence. We look at a tragic case in Idaho where a young girl who was, in my opinion, transed by her school counselor. And, the United Methodist Church decided it is no longer a Christian entity. We rove into how all these elements are related and ask the question, “How can you tell if you are at peace with God?”What does God's Word say? Philippians 3:1919 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.2 Peter 1:1-111 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.Confirming One's Calling and Election3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.Matthew 7:13-14 The Narrow and Wide Gates13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.Episode 1,591 Links:Pastor Colin Smith, Open The BibleCatholic Academics Call for Pope Francis to Resign or Be Removed, Citing ‘Unprecedented Crisis'Taking the time to make a complete fool of himself, @NewDayConway bullies a group of anti-abortion demonstrators at a West Loop abortion factory.
