The media wants us to be enraged at the drop of a hat so that...

...we no longer think critically
...we divide from friends and family
...we act impulsively instead of with maturity

The fruit of the Spirit fixes all that. It causes us to prioritize people over feelings.

Yes, we can feel passionately about issues. God does too. But if we lose our ability as a society to slow down and have a respectful conversation with someone we disagree with, we have lost much of our ability to make real positive change.

Christians can and should be leading this charge.

Was The United States of America really founded as a Christian nation? Or is there a darker, more sinister history behind the origins of the USA? Were the founding fathers Bible-believing Christians or members of a secret society? Join today's stream to find out: youtube.com/live/jtsM3Ad1xYY

Okay, so I made a mistake. I live-streamed a video earlier today about the Digital ID and the implementations that have been slowly being tested here in the United States. Some of that is still true. However, the main point at the end of the video about Biden's Executive Order not being overturned by Trump yet was not true. All that research and I missed that one critical point. Sad day.

However, it is good news that Trump has overturned that order.

We value truth on this channel, so I immediately pulled the video after finding out. I hope you can understand that we all make mistakes. We want to correct our mistake and clean it up as best as we can. :)

Did Trump just declare war by striking Iran?


No.

Let's look at the historical context. Here are some examples of past US airstrikes or bombings on nations or groups without a formal declaration of war:

Libya (1986): The US launched Operation El Dorado Canyon, bombing targets in Libya in response to the West Berlin discotheque bombing, which was linked to Libyan agents. No formal state of war existed between the US and Libya.

Iraq (1998): Operation Desert Fox involved US and UK airstrikes on Iraq targeting suspected weapons of mass destruction sites. This occurred outside a declared war, though tensions from the Gulf War and UN inspections persisted.

Yugoslavia (1999): The US, as part of NATO’s Operation Allied Force, bombed Serbian targets in Kosovo to stop ethnic cleansing. No formal war was declared against Yugoslavia.

Syria (2014-present): The US has conducted numerous airstrikes against ISIS and other groups in Syria as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, without a declared war against Syria itself.

Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia (2000s-present): The US has used drone strikes and airstrikes targeting terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS in these countries. These actions were not part of a declared war against these nations but were justified under the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) post-9/11.

These strikes were taken through various legal means, including executive authority.
