Over 80 people killed, at least 10 of them children, at the Bastille Day massacre in Nice, France.
The murderer used an explosives and weapons ladened transport truck to mow down the gathered crowd during a 30 minute rampage.
Reports show the French Tunisian ISIS fanatic zigged and zagged over the roadway as he plowed through as many people as he could, before being shot by French policemen.
ISIS celebrated the massacre.
We must get serious about destroying Islamic terrorism because the jihadis have shown that they are serious about killing the kaffirs.

The LORD shows no partiality but the NFL sure does.
In 2014 Don Jones, defense back for the Miami Dolphins, posted a picture of Michael Sam kissing his boyfriend on TV with the caption “horrible.” As a result, Jones was fined, suspended and forced into sensitivity training.
After 5 police officers were assassinated in Dallas, Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell posted an image of an ISIS-like character decapitating a police officer.
To date, the Browns have said they’ve talked to Crowell about his inappropriate social media activity.
Post something negative about homosexuality, face the wrath of the NFL. Incite murder of police officers, get a stern talking to.

… “for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” James 1:20
In this verse, James highlights a fundamental fact, that fleshly indignation will never produce righteous results.
In light of the recent deaths of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and 5 police officers in Dallas, Texas, we find ourselves once again grappling with the notion of racism in our nation. But we all must honestly ask ourselves if our cry is one for justice? Or is it for revenge?
Proverbs 28:5 says, “Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it completely.”
In this difficult time, the Church must lead our nation toward healing and reconciliation. We must lead our nation toward justice.

“But Jesus perceived their wickedness and said, ‘why test me, you hypocrites?”
North Carolina law requires people to use public restrooms consistent with their biology. As a result, PayPal has cancelled its plans to build a global operation facility in North Carolina because it feels the bathroom law discriminates against the transgender community.
Ironically, PayPal opened a similar center in Malaysia in 2011, though Malaysia publically flogs and incarcerates homosexuals. Its international headquarters are in Singapore, which also criminalizes homosexuality.
PayPal’s stance is not one of principle. It is high class hypocrisy. It shows the homosexual thought gestapo will sacrifice women and children to advance their agenda.

Aristotle said the fate of empires depends on the education of youth.
One sector in our nation is booming financially: college education. But you don’t hear too much about it. In the last 20 years, private school costs have jumped 179%.Out-of-state public school costs have jumped 226%. In-state costs have jumped a staggering 206%
To go along with tuition increases, our government is giving out student loans like candy. It is like the government and the colleges are working together.
You can trace the cultural shifts in our nation to college campuses. The government is using our tax dollars to rip the core of our nation away.
College has become ground-zero for biblical worldview attacks. They have moved from education to indoctrination.
In the last several years, the Supreme Court has demonstrated that America has entered in to a lawless era.
The court has ruled American citizens can be forced to buy a product by the federal government. Same sex marriage is a foundational right, and states have the legal authority to require the minimum medical safety standards for tonsil removal operations, but not for abortions.
These decisions, and many others, show that America has moved into an era of lawlessness where those tasked with protecting and defending the Constitution take every opportunity to shred it.
I think Jesus knew this time would come, which is why He said, “Take heart, for I have overcome the world.”
The parting message reveals truth.
In his farewell address, George Washington said, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.”
“In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness; these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens.”
No doubt President Washington had Christianity in view here. He associated it with patriotism. I believe he understood that national liberty would only thrive when there was true spiritual liberty.
As we celebrate our national independence, let us also celebrate the liberty in which Christ has made us free.
“And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.”
So, Bill Clinton was at a private airport in Phoenix, Arizona, when he learned Attorney General Loretta Lynch was at that very same airport. Slick Willie decided to delay his plans long enough to have a 30 minute impromptu meeting in Lynch’s private plane on the tarmac.
This is the same Loretta Lynch that is currently deciding whether or not to indict Hilary Clinton for her mishandling of top-secret information. But don’t worry; Lynch said their meeting was primarily social in nature. They talked a great deal about their grandchildren.
Are we supposed to be okay with this?
“Then David said to Saul, ‘I cannot go with these, for I have not tested them. So David put them off.”
As David prepared to face Goliath, Saul tried to outfit David with Saul’s personal armor. But David didn’t have Saul’s armor when he faced the lion or the bear, and David recognized he did not need the armor to slay Goliath.
Today, many Christians yield to the temptation to be hipper, cooler, and even a little fuzzy on the clear teachings of Scripture in order to face the Goliaths of our day.
But Jesus said, “If I be lifted up, I will draw all men.”
We don’t need a cool light show to be an ambassador for Christ. All we need is to offer what we have freely received. We know the transforming power of Christ because He has transformed us.
