UFC Puts its Cage Fighters in Suits - adweek.com (via Drudge Report)

Excerpt from this article:

"In the spot, the two are working side by side in an office environment when suddenly a fighting cage drops down around them and a fight breaks out. as things get heated, consumers can see the clothing, in all its stretchiness, in action."

Like cage fights? Then you'll love John Grisham's novel Rogue Lawyer! It will definitely be made into a move someday, but you will want to read the book first!

How to Benefit From a Funeral

How to Benefit from a Funeral, by Dr. David P. Murray

The Text for this sermon is Ecclesiastes 7:2,3 (Audio):

"It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better."

Trump is Not Reagan, He's Lincoln (Abe Knew How to Handle Gangster Democrats)

Trump is Not Reagan, He's Lincoln (Abe Knew How to Handle Gangster Democrats) - americanthinker.com

Excerpt from this article:

"...where Lincoln and Trump are definitely aligned is that they are both fighters. Lincoln was willing to sacrifice thousands and thousands of lives to preserve the Union. Thankfully, Trump does not have to wage a military civil war, but he is preserving the Union in small ways and big ways: SCOTUS nominees, tax cuts, reining in the bureaucracy, being tough on Russia (he really is), and negotiating with a man-child named Kim."

5 Thought-Provoking Quotes for Tuesday, July 31, 2018

Quote 1: "A Methodist minister once went to hear a Presbyterian minister preach. After the sermon, the Methodist said to the Presbyterian, 'That was a pretty good Arminian sermon you preached today.' 'Yes,' replied the Presbyterian, 'We Presbyterians are good Arminians when we preach, and you Methodists are good Calvinists when you pray.'" - Dr. C. D. Cole, The Bible Doctrine of Election



Recommended sermons:

Eternal Decree of Election, by Rev. Cornelis (Neil) Pronk
Objections to Election Answered, by Rev. Cornelis (Neil) Pronk
The Decree of Reprobation, by Rev. Cornelis (Neil) Pronk
Quote 2: "Justice also respects the responsibility of the needy person. Justice says that a person who chooses to be poor should be allowed to have what he chooses. Nor will justice allow us - for loves sake - to assume responsibility for other people's mistakes. If my neighbour goes deeply into debt for luxuries he bought with his credit card, and then habitually expects me to pay his heating bill, justice holds back the hand of love. If my neighbours business is on the verge of ruin because he is incompetent and lazy, justice may require love to let his business fail, and then help him find another line of work." - Lewis Smedes, Mere Morality - What God Expects From Ordinary People

Quote 3 & 4:

3: "In America, an acquittal doesn't mean you're innocent, it means you beat the rap. My clients lose even when they win." - F. Lee Baily (Source)

4: "As a young lawyer from the books that I'd read, I thought justice and law were the same.
But I soon put such juvenile thoughts from my head, and I studied the rules of the game," (Source unknown)


Quote 5 (From the Bible):

"For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless, I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I've committed unto him against that day." - 2 Timothy 1:12 (Audio)

A recommended hymn based on 2 Timothy 1:12:

Thought 1:

Recommended reading:

"None Dare Call It Conspiracy is an admirable job of amassing information to prove that communism is socialism and socialism (a plot to enslave the world) is not a movement of the downtrodden but a scheme supported and directed by the wealthiest of people. If enough Americans read and acted upon None Dare Call It Conspiracy, they really can save the Republic from the conspirators - whose plans for the destruction of our country are galloping fast toward completion." - Dan Smoot, Former Assistant to J. Edgar Hoover (1971) (Source)
