What we are seeing unfold in Afghanistan is a Holy War. It is a theological battle between two world views. On the one side we have a democratic republic that believes people have inherent worth (given by God) and therefore have rights that should be protected by government. On the other side we have a theocratic regime that believes they are the sword of salvation, either by death or life. In each case, their laws legislate morality. In America, we (at least used to) legislate based on the laws of the Bible. In Afghanistan they legislate based on Sharia which comes from the Quran.
Are both sets of laws the same or is one better than the other?
Just watch the news from the Middle East and tell me what you think.

Afganistan has fallen in perhaps the worst government administration military mistake since at least the ‘end’ of the Vietnam war in 1975. Why does this matter to us?
Also, Haiti is shaken by another massive earthquake, this time bigger than the one on 2010.

The authorities are now telling you when to breathe and talk, you must be vaxxd to go to church and tarot card christianity?
Here are some of the verses I reference today:
James 5:13-15 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up.
Ezekiel 34:3-4 The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the injured you have not bound up, the strayed you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought, and with force and harshness you have ruled them.
Matthew 25 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
1 John 3:17 But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?
Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Do as I say not as I do. A mantra as old as civilization.
You may have heard it from your parents or grandparents but now you hear it everyday from your exalted leaders. They think they are better than you and that you won’t notice they don’t even follow their own rules.
James 1:22 – Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says!
Do what I say, not as I do is not a good motto, instead let’s follow God and do what he says.
Thanks for listening!

Discipline is a really difficult concept in today’s culture of parenting. Some people think that you should just let your child do whatever they want. Others want you to be super strict and keep your child from everything.
What’s the best way and what aligns with God’s way?
Today Matt and Bethany talk about what they have learned along the way through parenting 4 children.
