Second clip from "Finding the Eyes of the Storm" S7E13
It's not about making the country great (again or otherwise).
It's not about making your church better than the others.
It is about humble repentance, so God can make YOU better.
Semper reformanda te!

The Virtual Culture War has us claiming there's no problem if someone has a solution we don't like.
We need to focus more on someone's good intentions & good impulses about a problem first. Then we can "debate" the solution if it requires more than prayer & humility.

Which is nowhere close to "mega rich". Like, that's not even tiny rich. That's not rich.

The second clip from S7E12, The Future Is Not History, in which Jim points out "love" & "truth" are a person, they are the same person & He cannot contradict Himself. Also, prayer is not magic. "No" or "not yet" are answers to prayer whether you want to hear them, or not.
