WHAT’S THE GOOD OF PRAYER
“Lord, teach us to pray.” Luke 11:1
It is not part of the life of a natural man to pray. We hear it said that a man will suffer in his life if he does not pray; I question it. What will suffer is the life of the Son of God in him, which is nourished not by food, but by prayer. When a man is born from above, the life of the Son of God is born in him, and he can either starve that life or nourish it. Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished. Our ordinary views of prayer are not found in the New Testament. We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves; the Bible idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.
“Ask and ye shall receive.” We grouse before God, we are apologetic or apathetic, but we ask very few things. Yet what a splendid audacity a childlike child has! Our Lord says – “Except ye become as little children.” Ask, and God will do. Give Jesus Christ a chance, give Him elbow room, and no man will ever do this unless he is at his wits’ end. When a man is at his wits’ end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get into touch with Reality. Be yourself before God and present your problems, the things you know you have come to your wits’ end over. As long as you are self-sufficient, you do not need to ask God for anything.
It is not so true that “prayer changes things” as that prayer changes me and I change things. God has so constituted things that prayer on the basis of Redemption alters the way in which a man looks at things. Prayer is not a question of altering things externally, but of working wonders in a man’s disposition.”
Amen
If its one thing the democratic party is, they are consistent.
They have always been a party that believed that a ruling class of people should control others.
They have embraced Marxism since it was first introduced, in one form or another. It was their natural progression. Today’s openly socialist push is just the younger generation taking their masks off and wanting what they have been promised for decades.
The only difference in so called progressives and the dsa nut jobs is that progressives believed in slow small steps at a time to reach the socialist paradise they seek. Dsa demands it now.
There are no mainstream democrats.

DHS ANNOUNCES MANDATORY RANDOM PAPER-BALLOT AUDITS FOR 2026 MIDTERMS
DHS announces it will require MANDATORY, random audits of paper ballots during the 2026 midterm elections due to major vulnerabilities involving tampering and potential foreign or Chinese involvement in voting machines, according to Just the News. Sec. Mullin confirmed the move, warning that “Voting machines with components manufactured by foreign adversaries introduce significant security risks.” He added that malicious actors could potentially compromise election infrastructure anywhere in the supply chain, including before machines are assembled or deployed, and that tampered components could provide hackers a point of entry for synchronized attacks across multiple machines and jurisdictions.
