I'm almost in AWE at the masterful level of deception James Talarico employs in this ridiculously viral interview on Jimmy Kimmel. There is a VERY SUBTLE play getting run on Christians over and over. And once you see it, you can never unsee it.

Politics *are* important, but if you think they are ultimate, you will eventually demonize leaders and movements you once idolized. Because they cannot deliver what you expected, your god will have let you down, and a "root of bitterness" will begin to rise. Politics cannot fix what politics did not break. And Mankind was broken long before any political system. Only a return to Jesus Christ who can reach inside the chests of men and give them new and living hearts of love, worship, and humility can save any person, any family, and any society. Christ is the only way out of the chaos.

@GarandThumb1 Point of the question gentleman….Read more books. Your pursuit of that ideal in gaining more wisdom, knowledge, and capacity for violence depends upon it.

Most Christians aren’t tired, they’re untrained in spiritual warfare. You’re not just worn out. You’re not just stressed. You’re not just having “a tough season.” You’re being attacked. And you were never trained to fight. Here are 5 brutal truths about why you feel spiritually crushed: (Save this)

@Biblicalman Well stated sir. Appreciate the perspective.

Satan is not opposed to good morals. He’s opposed to Jesus Christ. Read that again because most Christians miss this completely. Satan doesn’t care if you’re a “good person.” He doesn’t care if you volunteer at the food bank, recycle your trash, and help old ladies cross the street. He doesn’t care if you’re kind, generous, and well-liked by everyone in your community. He cares that you don’t bow the knee to Jesus. Here’s the deception that’s damning millions: Satan has convinced people that morality equals spirituality. That being a “good person” is the same as being a Christian. That if you just live right, treat people well, and avoid the “big sins,” you’re acceptable to God. This is a lie straight from the pit of hell. The Pharisees had impeccable morals. They followed the law meticulously. They were respected, disciplined, and religiously devoted. Jesus called them children of the devil. Why? Not because their morals were bad. Because their morals replaced Christ. Satan’s greatest trick isn’t making bad people worse. It’s making good people think they don’t need a Savior. Think about it: The atheist who feeds the homeless thinks he’s good enough without God. The Buddhist who meditates and practices compassion thinks she’s enlightened without Christ. The Muslim who prays five times daily thinks he’s righteous without Jesus. The moral Christian who goes to church, pays his tithe, and avoids scandal thinks he’s saved without surrender. All of them are headed to the same place: eternal separation from God. Because morality doesn’t save. Jesus saves. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 Satan loves moral people who reject Jesus. They’re his best advertisement for the lie that you can earn your way to heaven. They’re living proof that you can: •Be kind without Christ •Be generous without God •Be disciplined without the Holy Spirit •Be respected without redemption And still be lost. The most dangerous people in hell won’t be the murderers and rapists. They’ll be the moral, upstanding citizens who thought their goodness was good enough. Their morals became their idol. Their goodness became their god. And Satan smiled because he’d accomplished his goal: Keep them from Jesus. Here’s what most Christians don’t understand: Satan doesn’t need to make you do bad things. He just needs to keep you from doing the ONE thing that matters: surrendering to Christ. If he can get you to: •Trust your morals instead of Christ’s sacrifice •Rely on your goodness instead of God’s grace •Believe in your works instead of Jesus’ finished work He’s won. You can live a moral life and still die lost. You can be a good person and still face judgment. You can avoid all the “big sins” and still end up separated from God forever. Because the only sin that damns you eternally is rejecting Jesus Christ. “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36 Not the murderer who repents and believes in Christ is damned. Not the thief who turns to Jesus on the cross is damned. Not the prostitute who washes Jesus’ feet with her tears is damned. The moral, religious person who rejects Christ is damned. That’s why Satan loves morality without Jesus. It sends people to hell with a smile on their face, convinced they were good enough. Stop trusting your morals. Start trusting Jesus. Your goodness won’t save you. Your works won’t redeem you. Your morality won’t justify you. Only the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away your sin and make you acceptable to a holy God. Everything else is just Satan’s distraction from the one thing that actually matters.

I turned 43 today. Random reflections on life right now: - 40s it becomes so evident life is a choose-your-own-adventure and people's choices are coming home to roost. I have friends just getting married and having their first kid this year, some that are already about to be empty nesters with kids going off to college, some with no kids still acting immature like they're in their 20's. Some look old and have really let their health and looks deteriorate (look 50's+ in their early 40's), while some look 20 years younger and are getting absolutely jacked and the best shape of their lives. - your network > your net worth seems to be becoming more true - having good health, a loving family, a stable marriage, a business you where you can write your own financial destiny to some extent, and a supportive group of close friends all looking out for one another = real wealth - I still want more actual cash money quite badly despite what I just typed above 😅 (with 4 kids going quickly towards college years and most of my financial net worth tied up in illiquid SMB equity... how to help them with braces, cars, schooling, weddings, etc. as they grow is indeed financially intimidating) - you can do anything but you can't do everything. very important to pick your battles at this phase of life. I gave up Aviation the last 2 years and quite a bit of freedom by bringing on investors and partners so I'm now a minority owner of my main biz instead of majority/control like I used to... but I gained a new passion in health/fitness and biz partners and biz model that has the potential to go 100-1000X bigger than I could have done on my own. These were big decisions and I'm thinking they were the right ones. Choose your games you're going to play wisely. Pick your battles wisely. Pick 1-3 things that matter and devote yourself to winning at them- don't half-ass a bunch of major things and win at none of them. - having a bunch of kids was one of the best decisions ever. you can't have too many. have more if you can. they give life so much more meaning, depth, and fun and give you endless things to look forward to and keep you young. - I need to be a better husband. been an absolute bull in a China shop sometimes with my poor wife and just totally didn't understand a woman's mind and world. Been feeling deep conviction for all my mistakes and ways I've wounded the most important person in the world to me. lucky to still be married tbh. need to make my marriage and how I treat my wife a huge priority going forward and hopefully become the husband to her she deserves. just not there yet, but I feel like I'm at least aware enough now that I can give it proper importance and make changes. - living publicly like I do on the internet, sharing my thoughts and life with thousands of people is super weird, but I still think the pros are worth the cons... in a weird way it feels like my ministry/calling, to live out loud and "go for it" as a normal dude with a somewhat humble start in life, that's ambitious, just trying to follow God, build a family, and take over the world in business, while having fun and growing in all areas along the way. the notes I get from people that have made positive changes to their lives because they were inspired by something I shared is very meaningful to me. - I am getting less and less judgmental of others as I age as my awareness of my own faults and failings has humbled me in so many areas. I am also getting less and less tolerant of people's BS when the behavior of others negatively impacts my world or someone I care about. I'm quicker to speak up and stand up for myself and push back. this seems at-odds to the non-judgmental thing... but I think the difference is I don't care about what people are doing if it's not affecting me, but I nip stuff in the bud real quick now that does. - I've been way too hard on myself- downright mean and cruel to myself, for most of my life. A big part of my failing to love others well stems from the root of failing to love myself. "Love your neighbor as yourself" doesn't work if you hate yourself. Working on this. We could all probably be more kind to ourselves. - getting a lot more fit the last 2 years has improved about every aspect of my life including my confidence and self-esteem and is helping me with the point above quite a bit. it's nice having such a tangible thing you can see in the mirror every day in the form of a transformed body that shows yourself you've really worked on yourself to make a positive change that's undeniable Got a meeting to jump to so I'm stopping here for now. Want to thank you all that read this random rambling for being part of my life in some small way, even if you're just observing and rarely interacting, that's still cool. Feel free to let me know if anything resonated with you and where you're at on your journey. Blessings, Clint
