The shooting death of Ashli Babbit while breaking into the Chambers of the U.S. Capitol
I watched many videos of the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbit. She was a leader and primary aggressor as she attempted to break into the chamber’s lobby. As she was climbing through the broken-out window in the door, breaching the threshold, the officer placed his shot. Coupled with her actions, the verbal threats of her fellow rioters, and a totality of circumstances, the shot was reasonable, necessary, and Biblical to prevent even greater mayhem.
Sadly, even after her death, her fans and followers are claiming that she was shot “for no reason.” Others lied, claiming she was “Antifa.” That type of irresponsible denial or support is what will lead to more deaths of so-called “patriots.” What Babbit did was irresponsible, counter-productive, illegal, and irresponsibly dangerous, and should not be congratulated, celebrated, nor memorialized.
Tantamount to the protests of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, the actions of these rioters were sinful rebellion and lawlessness.
I also watched videos Babbit made before her death. In this video she was franticly (or hopelessly) consumed with both Trump and America, and this is more evidence why these people need the hope of the glorious Gospel.
To professing Christians.
If you profess to be born-again and are consumed by these worldly affairs, I implore you to repent, and not repeat. Not only are many professing Christians seemingly not trusting in the sovereign decrees (or judgment) of our Lord, but even fellow Pastors are adding fuel to this fire (on social media). Many of them have a log in their eye, as they only point at the sins of those Democrats as their own party continues in their own unrepented sins.
Our Commander in Chief gave us His marching orders called the Great Commission. But His Great Commission is not to be consumed with the affairs of this world, and pastors should not be so entangled in politics.
You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things (2 Timothy 2:1-7).
The Bible describes the things of this world as nothing but “vanity.” As a follower of Christ, I am to be not of this world, as my citizenship is in heaven.
Yes, I am praying for Babbitt’s husband and family, and I’m also praying for the officer that took that difficult shot.
Lastly, I would ask you to consider reading my below short read on the Glorious Gospel and repent and believe in the Christ of this Good News. That is the Biblical way to “Make America Great Again.”
And if the Lord does save you, the following is a summary of the Christian’s new way of life.
Love ‘biblically’ – repent – be salt and light – be holy – be sanctified – to be against the world – fear God – pray without ceasing – keep His commandments – grow in His grace and knowledge – put on the whole armor of God (and use it) – walk circumspectly – believe in and trust Jesus – obey the Gospel – share the Gospel – preach the Gospel – contend for the faith, – disciple each other – live Godly in Christ Jesus – hate the things that God hates, and love the things that God loves – rejoice in sufferings – don’t flinch in the face of adversity – keep the faith, work-out your salvation, and endure to the end!
UPDATE 01/14/21: As these terrorists are identified and arrested, I will be adding those links in the comments section below. So far no “Antifa,” but many off duty police officers. 😒

Todays Tweet: Murdered U.S. Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick was the 5th person to die as a result of the siege of the Capitol during the Trump rally. The only reason Christians should be at these rallies is to proclaim the Gospel, not to unite with them and their worldly affairs.
TWEET: Sadly some professing Christians have lost credibility as they’ve written trying to spin things or justify the sinful and criminal actions of many Trump supporters at the US Capitol. They’re no different than the MSM that they complain about, but worse, it’s a terrible witness.
In 1 Samuel 22 a tragic massacre occurred where “at Saul’s command, eighty-five of the priests of Nob together with their wives, children, and other citizens of the town were killed by Doeg.” However, King David later recognized and shared his responsibility for that tragedy. David displayed true repentance from his adultery with Bathsheba, the murder of Uriah, and the massacre where women and children died. That is the fruit of a saved man. Oh, how we need leaders like that today, that are willing to say, “I was wrong, I have sinned.” (15:24-26,30; Psalm 51, and the title to 52). https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=344107927098232&id=111622143680146
I won’t join the hypocrites who only point at the democrats (whom I loath). While many wrongfully blamed “Antifa” for breaking into the US Capitol, the arrestees are proving to be Trump supporting Republicans, even these off VIRGINIA duty police officers. My allegiance is to Christ, not Trump, the GOP, america nor her flag.

I warned many professing Christians on social media to not lose their credibility by prematurely blaming the U.S. Capitol insurrection on “Antifa.” As these suspects are being identified, we’re learning more and more are NOT Antifa. This one’s a retired Lieutenant Colonel. The Lord’s people must be objective, and must never allow emotions to affect them. Don’t be so loyal to your party, that you can only see the wrongs of your opponents, lest the GOP never recover.

More U.S. Capitol terrorists are identified. Not “Antifa” but even more off duty police officers. One from Houston (their Chief sounds like a liberal), and the other Lt. Roxanne Mathai from Bexar County S.O. Her Facebook post is evidence of flat-out idolatry. But equal rights, equal responsibility. Let them all spend time in jail (or prison).
Both Presidents Obama and Trump had over-zealous supporters. They acted as if their president could do no wrong. They hypocritically only pointed fingers at the other party, dismissing the sins of their own. And they worshipped them to their demise. When Sheriff’s Lt. Roxanne Mathai unlawfully entered the Capitol, she draped herself in a Trump flag. She later posted on Facebook, “Not gonna lie…..aside from my kids, this was, indeed, the best day of my life. And it’s not over yet.” That is idol worship, and a felonious transgression against a holy, just, and jealous God. Repent and believe in this Gospel, lest you perish in hell, under the wrath of God. Only by the grace of God, so go I https://www.theexpositor.tv/the-glorious-gospel/

One of the US Capitol terrorists was confirmed to be a BLM Antifa type. John Sullivan from Utah was stupid enough to go on CNN to brag about the video he captured. Hence he’s been charged.
This Victorville Calif. gym owner is near me. Though I support him keeping his business open, his social media proved willful, premeditated, criminal intent. As these suspects are being ID’d, Antifa might have been only 5% of this mess, the rest are Trump supporters or republicans.

STEVE BANNON CALLS OUR RUDY GIULIANI FOR HIS HYPE: Giuliani’s baseless allegations (false narratives) is a reason why so many courts (including a GOP Fed. judge) dismissed Giuliani’s motions while trying to prove there was enough “fraud” to overturn a presidential election. But when heard under oath, he faltered (again & again). First, it was Antifas fault, now it’s the “right wings” fault. And sadly, many lost their credibility by venerating Giuliani. Rumors, innuendos, ambiguity, narratives, ideas, or emotions have no evidentiary value in a court of law. This man is a slave to the kingdom of Christ, not their establishment. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/steve-bannon-scolds-rudy-giuliani-after-he-falsely-claimed-the-republican-lincoln-project-helped-capitol-rioters/ar-BB1dejEA
