Thank you for this reminder. It is easy to avoid those you don't agree with and go on about your day. Instead, we should find common ground and hope/strive for opportunities to plant the mustard seeds.
God always provides a promise with His warning (see Revelation 18:4-) to repentant members of Christ’s holy-virgin Bride whose digitally-marked (SS#) souls were once held captive within the abominable Socialistic Security System of the Marxist Beast’s UN Global Village. In place of Antichrist’s eugenics-health-welfare securities provided within Satan’s Socialistic Security System, Jesus Christ eternally provides “every good and perfect gift from above” to the digitally-un-marked souls of wise virgins within His ‘socially-un-secured’ Bride (James 1:17). We alien pilgrims (see Pilgrim’s Progress), who have obediently come out of Babylon’s accursed Socially-Secured ‘City of Destruction’, will never be deprived of any authentic and deeply satisfying good “in the courts of the Lord,” as we joyfully take up our daily cross and walk together upon the narrow path in faithful friendship with the God of the universe.
With His guidance in our pilgrimage through the socially-un-secured ‘wilderness’—though surrounded by Socially-Secured Broadway worldlings and their fashionable tents in Vanity Fair—we’ll enjoy our plenty of ‘manna’ from Heaven in the sturdier courts of the Lord.
Your posts are often timely and resonate with me on so many levels. Since my return to the flock a few years ago, the worldly things I thought were important have lessened in their appeal. I recently heard the old hymn "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" on my car stereo and its first verse captures the feeling perfectly:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
I grew up singing that hymn. You are right--looking at Jesus dims so many "important" earthly things. Thank you for that reminder!
Perfect, RT. Thank you. Keep writing.
thank you for your encouragement!
