Florida Governor Signs Bill Allowing Teachers to Carry Guns in Classrooms
Following the deadly STEM school shooting in Colorado on Tuesday, Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed a measure into law that will allow Florida teachers to carry guns in classrooms.
Reportedly, the law will put into practice recommendations made by a commission formed after the Parkland Shooting last year. The law’s goal is to expand the preexisting “guardian” program – which already allows school employees to carry a gun outside of the classroom – to allow teachers can carry guns inside of the classroom.
All teachers and staff members who are a part of this program must be approved by the school district and are required to undergo police-like training with the sheriff’s office, mental health screenings and background checks, the AP reports.
According to U.S. News, 25 of 67 school districts in Florida are already enrolled in the “guardian program.”
The Broward County school district, where the Parkland shooting took place, is currently enrolled in the program, but according to Fox News, the district has both rejected and protested the expansion of the program which allows teachers to be armed.
According to the AP, the new measure was the center of contention last week between the state’s legislators….
‘When I Say Aborted, You Say Fetuses,” Chants Pro-Abortion Protesters amid a Pro-Life Display
Last month, pro-choice students danced in the middle of a pro-life display and chanted their support for abortion while holding Planned Parenthood signs.
According to CBN News, Students for Life set up a “Cemetery of the Innocents” display at the University of Texas San Antonio to memorialize children who had died because of an abortion.
The pro-choice students ran out onto the display once it had been set up and started chanting “Stop, hey, hey, what’s that sound, all the fetuses are in the ground.” One of the students led another chant, yelling, “When I say aborted, you say fetuses.”
Another student ran out into the display, pointed at one of the crosses and exclaimed, “Oh look, there’s mine!” She then yelled, “I’m just so slutty, I got pregnant, so I had to get an abortion.” Another protester yelled, “I got an abortion” and someone off-camera asked, “And you’re proud of it?” The protester responded, “Yes, I’m super proud of it.”
Sarah Zarr, the Texas Coordinator for Students for Life, reported what else took place in a press release by Students for Life. She said, “At University of Texas-San Antonio, there was a protest formed against us as soon as we set up. The students who protested us are in a campus group called Students United for Planned Parenthood. Some of the members approached us but…
Disappointment plagues many pastors and church leaders. And in revitalizations or replants, it can be an ever bigger issue. Today, we identify five common areas of disappointment and how to deal with them.
Episode Highlights:
Some of your biggest early supporters as a pastor are only doing so because they think they’ll be able to manipulate or influence you for their gain.
Sometimes your church facility will never get to where it needs to be, but you have to be content knowing the Lord can still bless it.
God gives you victories in your life every week, you just have to see them and rejoice in them.
Oddly enough, some church members have more issues with a dying church merging with another than closing the church.
The five areas of disappointment we discuss are:
When your big supporter becomes your big critic.
When the facility is in much worse shape than you thought.
When your support network disappears.
When your church continues to decline despite your best efforts.
When you conclude the church must close.

Bishop Peter Ball was the suffragan Bishop of Lewes from 1977 and Bishop of Gloucester from 1992. He also founded a monastic community with his twin brother which he lead for 20 years.
He was convicted of two offences of indecent assault in 2015 but an inquiry into why it took this long suggested his character allowed him to avoid conviction.
The inquiry into allegations against Ball found that of the 42 dioceses in England, the Diocese of Chichester, where Ball worked, received the most reports of child sexual abuse, with 18 convictions in 50 years.
The inquiry said the diocese had a culture of “prioritising reputation” among senior clergy, who had a “permissive attitude towards some perpetrators, even when they had been convicted”.
Peter Ball was found to have abused his position as Bishop of Gloucester to deliberately manipulate vulnerable teenagers for his own sexual gratification, which included naked praying, masturbation and beating for his own pleasure.
The Archbishop of Canterbury at the time, Lord George Carey, is said to have had more compassion towards Peter Ball than to the victims.
The inquiry also found that the Church of England’s response was marked by secrecy, skirting round the truth and avoiding reporting alleged crimes and that their apology “remains unconvincing”. Premier has asked the Diocese of Chichester for its response to the inquiry’s…
The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF) alleges that the Dieringer School District is following a script written by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Teachers are reportedly urged to make accommodations for Muslims fasting during Ramadan and to defer tests scheduled for upcoming Islamic holidays.
A CAIR official states: “Pluralism in America means recognizing the wide variety of holidays celebrated by students of different faiths and backgrounds, including by saying ‘Merry Christmas,’ ‘Happy Hanukkah,’ ‘Happy Diwali,’ or ‘Ramadan Mubarak.’”
The FCDF’s executive director disagrees: “A school district would never order teachers to ‘welcome’ Catholic students during Easter with ‘He is risen, alleluia!’ Singling out Muslim students for special treatment is blatantly unconstitutional.”
Are we “taking religious freedom too far”?
We can expect the debate over religious freedom in America to escalate in the coming years.
In her view, “It’s illegal for a store owner to discriminate against customers because they happen to belong to a group against which the shopkeeper harbors a personal prejudice.” She then moves to the example usually cited in such arguments: “It’s illegal for a racist to open a restaurant that serves only white people.”
In her opinion, “Prejudice cloaked in the robes of religious faith should follow the same precedent.”…

“We believe sport is for everyone and we champion inclusivity and diversity. While Israel Folau is entitled to his personal views, some of those expressed in recent social media posts are not aligned with those of ASICS.
“As such, our partnership with Israel has become untenable and he will no longer represent ASICS as a brand ambassador.”

Do two walk together except they make an appointment and have agreed? — Amos 3:3 (AMPC)
Your self-image is like a photo you carry of yourself in your wallet. How you see yourself is a determining factor in what you accomplish in life, so it’s important to learn to see yourself as God sees you.
God created you, and you are special to Him. He has a good plan for your life, and He loves you unconditionally. You may only think of what you do wrong and what you think you are not, but God sees what you will be as you and He work together to bring good changes in you.
You may not be where you should be, but if you are a Christian, you are a new creature in Christ and you are in the process of changing daily. Rejoice in how far you have come instead of being sad about how far you have to go.
Have a daily appointment with God and come into agreement with Him to see yourself as He does, and it will put a smile on your face and His!
Prayer Starter: Father, help me see myself through Your eyes, as the new creature You have made me to be. Help me let go of the old things and take hold of Your new plan for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Evil Tenant By Pastor D. K. Olukoya
INTRODUCTION
There is a big house that has a sitting room, bed room, toilet kitchen and all the rooms. In that big house you can decide to put JESUS in the sitting room, and bedroom, and kitchen and all the rooms, or you can just put the Holy Spirit in the toilet and then put the evil demon or spirit in the sitting room. That is why when you pray for the Holy Spirit and you don’t get it, you get confused.
One mystery of deliverance is that the Holy Spirit and the bad spirit can co-exist in the life of a man. (Two spirit in a man).
So when you have a dangerous tenant within you, they are the ones that will be inviting the other tenants to afflict you. Even if you travel all around the world, the tenant is inside of you. This days many people keep fighting the enemy outside.
The principle of tenant evacuation is to create discomfort for that tenant. The bible says “strangers shall be afraid from their closed places and flee”
GET IT STRAIGHT. IF THE INTERNAL ENEMY IS NOT DEALT WITH, THE OUTSIDE WILL KEEP FIGHTING.
“A man is a spirit being that has a soul, but living in a bod” Any of these three things can become bungalow, palace or duplex for the enemies.
A man is supposed to be total landlord of himself.
Every area of your life that Jesus occupies is safe but any area of your life that is not totally given to God, is a space for bad spirit. The bible says submit yourself to God then you can resist the devil. That means you have to submit first, before you can resist the devil. Any area of your life that you find very difficult to surrender to God is definitely controlled by the demons. Evil spirits are personalities without bodies.
If you are a sincere believer.
WHAT TO DO Observe all the elements of spirit growth (praying constantly, reading the word of God, obedience to God 100%, and working for God)
PRAYER POINT:
Dark powers trading with my virtues, die, in the name of Jesus
Powers, preparing hard life for me, die, in the name of Jesus
Powers, of bondage to one level, die, in the name of Jesus
Satanic lions, rising against my promotion, die, in the name of Jesus
Witchcraft befriending witchcraft against me, what are you waiting for, die, in the name of Jesus
Demonic evangelist, chanting incantation against me, receive the arrow of death, in the name of Jesus
Battles of my fathers’ house, preparing my destiny for frustration, die, in the name of Jesus PRAY THIS ONE 3 HOT TIMES
My blessings, directed to the coven, come out and locate, in the name of Jesus
Powers, arranging bullets against my head, die with your bullet, in the name of Jesus FINALLY, SHOUT THIS WITHOUT MERCY
Strangers in my life, i am not your candidate, come out now! in the name of Jesus.
