Thank you my conservative brother, WE ❤ AND STAND FOR OUR FATHER, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.....
The Church was the first global institution…
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
Mark 16:15
Yeshua the rightful King is returning.
Hallelujah!
Yes he is Amen 🙏 I hate being on earth it sucks
Well said/explanation! Thank you and God Bless!
Within the next week I'll be 10k left to
paying my off 150k debt.
How were you able to do it?
I'm genuinely curious to know how you earn that much
Bro its luck, it's me just being
at the right place at the right time. I met a
financial and trading consultant at a
seminar back at Los Angeles later last
year, where she was featured and
interviewed and I reached out to her
afterwards.
I didn't know much about
trading and investing so I spoke to her
about it, she then later introduced me to
her platform where I and other people
could invest and copy her trades
techniques and patterns.
Since then she has since
provide entry and exit points on the
securities I focus on. You can look her up
online if you care supervision. I basically
follow her trade pattern and haven't
regretted doing so
God bless the Peacemaker

All Trump was asking Mexico and Canada to do was to increase their boarder security. As a Canadian, I know that is something the majority of Canadians want anyhow. If we had good leadership, it would have already been in place. Trump was making a very reasonable request and just using tariffs to get it done. As far as trade deficits Trump has mentioned the US is getting the short end of the stick with Canada… There actually are a few areas where that is correct, but as a whole Canada is by far on the losing end of trade deficits. The only reason it’s not more balanced is again related to poor leadership shown by people like Trudeau. Canadians are excited to see the changes God is going to bring to the US through Trump. We are also praying God will bring some much-needed change to Canada as well.
He wants more then just border security. Trump you have to remember is a corrupt, convicted felon.
Thank you Mark. I couldn’t initially understand how tariffs on steroids could be beneficial, or indeed Biblical. But you searched the Scriptures and you found something to help. Phew! And I actually thought God in Jesus had said the Kingdom of God is at hand, there is no Greek nor Jew, slave nor free etc.
I needed to hear this biblical explanation. I was feeling the evil around Globalism, I just couldn't explain or understand exactly why it all felt evil till now.
I'm grateful the Lord guided me to your channel. Thank you, Lord, and thank you Pastor.
Please, i beg that you would see through his biases
Then why do you use internet and UA-cam?? Internet is Globalism.
FYI the bible is not American made.
collaboration with Canada you called a "globalism?" What about "love your neighbour"?
"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

*I came to the Lord asking for his blessings as a single mom because raising my son (Joel) was an act of courage despite all the challenges. And the Lord answered my prayers with a benefiting. income of $41,000 every month. To God be the glory. Joel is in school and life's been fair lately.!!!!*
Congratulations!! The scriptures clearly
states there's going a transference of the
riches of the heathen to the righteous.God
keep blessings you
But how do you earn so much in a month? By sharing your thoughts?
I thank Evelyn Susanne Scarlett who has always been there to help me with detailed analysis and recommendations that I would not have had access to otherwise.
Really feel your pain, when I was even almost down my God sent to me Evelyn Susanne Scarlett, her services cryp to me and changed the game automatically
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos about it, I still find it hard to understand.
I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
Wow that's huge, how do you make that much monthly?
I remember giving her my first saved up $20000 and she opened a brokerage account with it for me, it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
I earn from investing in the digital market with the guidance of (Ms. Evelyn Vera) Brokerage services. I'm happy to talk about it!!!
I agree. It sits well with my spirit. Thank you

How does threatening to economically destroy Canada align with "love thy neighbour as thyself"
The pm already did that. Then he wants to stomp his feet when held accountable to do his job to treat US as he should of been as our supposed ally. Instead, he's been acting like a quiet enemy, seeking to destroy us from inside out.
Some so called Christians will find justification in everything Trump does. After all he proclaimed 2 genders only!

Did Jesus tell you that you can’t help everyone?
Who did jesus say to help, who is this actually helping, if we are helping ouselves are we actually helping others?
it is not help. It is trade. You
do not need Canada. Fine. Canada won't need you then. How is that?

Don't you just love it when a person stands up for themselves, defends themselves and refuses to be a doormat, and they're met with, "That's not very Christlike of you."
We're still stewards, and only a bad steward gets pushed around and bends under every pressure instead of laying down rules for peaceful living, and consequences if those rules are trespassed.
we'll see what you have left to "steward" when the dust settles and the dollar is dumped as the worlds reserve currency and no one helps you when China and Russia attack you.

As a canadian, I think we should just take the tariffs and laugh without retaliating.
Fought along side americans and brits in Afghanistan and this division must stop
This is a masterclass in leadership for Canada and the rest of the world. As a Canadian, I am encouraged by what has been happening. Our leadership has failed us. I've been saying for years that each country needs to take care of their own FIRST. I believe President Trump is doing a great thing for these countries long term like Canada, which look at this like an attack. I see it as tough love and an opportunity for growth. Wake up Canada. Wake up world.
lol...surely you jest?

Trump tariffs are for americans who import goods to pay, Trudeau tariffs on US goods are for canadians who import US goods to pay....
I'm Canadian and I'm thankful to President Trump because it made Trudeau act.
Because of the tariffs, President Trump is protecting Canadians as well.
may be it will make Canada develop its own economy but it does not make a good relationship between two countries.
I'm intrigued. Please explain how as a result of the tariffs that Canadians are more protected, and from what/whom are we more protected exactly?
Im a Canadian Christian Conservative and love the U.S. and its people. I spend alot of time in Idaho with some fantastic people. Unfortunately I believe there is belief being pushed about American pie christianity that, God only came for America and its people. Supporting crippling other countries economies and jobs were Christians live that are trying to provide for there families and help there already hurting communities is not what Jesus taught. Please search your hearts about this. Pray for Canada, we need it 🙏🏻.
Perfectly put pastor…agree to all that was said
America has been treated very unfairly is right, it is time we (America) take a stand to help our Country! 🇺🇸🙏💪❤️ We (America) Stand With Our Rightful President Donald J. Trump! 🇺🇸🙏💪❤️
fictional bogeymen dreamt up by team DJT...don't fall for his lies and misinformation (I hate the term, but it fits in the case of DJT). Canada has been one of America's closest allies and friends since almost forever. No abuse involved. Also, he already tweaked the North American free trade agreements last time he was President, yet here we go again 🙄
What about John 3:16 is Pastor Driscoll not seeing? As a Jew, why didn’t Jesus say God so loved Israel instead of the world?
I’m a KY native and many Kentuckians do not realize that many bourbons were bought out and Japanese owned. They are just distilled in KY.
This is definitely an eye-opener that the American community has been stomped on and taken advantage of.
But isn't that the nature of capitalism itself, which right wing Americans embrace so wholeheartedly ? Not so happy when the shoe is on the other foot, it would seem...
As a Christian, shouldn't you be praying that these distilleries shut down altogether rather than lamenting their foreign ownership??
@@EugeniaA9393
Go after the people who sold the bourbon companies.
@ That’s what I’m saying. The KY governor shared a letter he wrote to Congress to stop tariffs because it affects 23,000 families but fails to shift attention to the stakeholders and CEOs that thought about their millions’ profit instead of said families.

You voted for this.
Your pastor told you to, you know, because woke.
You wanted suffering for others but now you’ll suffer too so now you’re against what you voted for.
Pastor just said tariffs are Christlike, because nationalism.
uhhhh....isn't that capitalism in action? Not so fun when others start playing the game well, now is it?
America 1st!! 🇺🇸
treaudeaux has his own tariffs for canada, April 1st we get a 20 percent increase on an already high tax that makes our lives miserable.
As a Canadian, the Liberal Left in Ottawa and in big cities is not true to what it is to be Canadian, it is such a shameful representation of true Canadian people.
I live on the northern BC Alberta border near mile 0 of the Alaska highway. I moved up north because there were no types of guys in the south I would ever marry. Men in their 30s living at home or still figuring out what they want to do, just pampered and never grown up. I finally met my husband where the population is still old fashioned, hardworking and conservative.
My husband is from the cold north of Canada, decendant from a good farming mennonite family, has started driving a water tanker semi truck professionally at age 19 for the oilfields. The population in this area including us , is young here average age 28-35. With big families driving combines, swathers and heavy duty equipment, farming hundreds of acres living through months of winter and -30 and -40; degrees below freezing. There are no liberal Candidates to vote for here in our region, we are conservative, and have the highest birthrate in Canada. We are several groups of Mennonites, Hutterites, country people. Unfortunately we have little to no say in anything with our government even though we work for most of Canada. The more south or east you go the more liberal and woke. They don't even know there are people up here.
Ah, thanks for the explanation. I was lost on this whole tariff thing. Our president is fighting the evil spirits trying to make the world into Babylon. That is what im understanding in the simplest terms.
Mark is hardly the best person to look to for an explanation.
I don't like how he lies about Canadians. Putting us in bad light. I.e Us banks not being aloud in Canada, also saying gives us so much money. We give you guys a great deal on oil, power etc. Lying is not a Christian thing to do. We've done alot to helping Americans in disasters. Do you think that doesn't cost us money. American guns crossing into Canada as well.
It is not about globalism, it is about collaboration and doing good to your neighbours. Some pastors agree with Trump no matter what. Lets see how you turn the Bible to back up Trump's new ideas!
Agreed. Christians need to beware that we don't neglect our critical thinking now that an alleged "conservative" is in power.
Exactly ❤
Like you said about marriage and family. Take care of your own house first.
When you take care of your own house make sure you do not destroy others.

Thank you pastor Mark.

I simply see this as boundary setting 101, where US boundaries at the borders are being defined by POTUS, who has the right to govern his land as he sees fit
Nonsense...Remember that Trump is lawless and a convicted felon.
Pastor Mark Driscoll, please stop this. I see our vast differences politically, theologically, but what you are arguing just does not sit right with what i know about Jesus. Please i long for an embrace with you, and i will drop my argument for a healing discussion anding in an open armed self sacrificial embrace
What about Jesus rubs against what Driscoll is saying here?
@@Zaloomination nationalism in its very nature is trying to elevate the 'self' or the 'one nation' at the cost of others, or at the very least not seeking to benefit other nations. So where Jesus teaches the parable of leaving the 99 sheep for the lost one, seeking to benefit the poor, the widow, the sick, the enemy, all of these are attempts to help the other, not ourselves. Nationalism goes against this because we are not seeking out to help other countries who need help and have people who need help because it is more benficial for ourselves. God sacrificied himself for us, jesus suffered for us, so if he is the great teacher, then we should also seek to suffer for the benefit of the needy. I hope all of this makes sense, there's a lot more to this, and there's a lot of readings that you could do if you're interested. Also let me know if you have any problems with what i have said and i will see to them. Thank you for asking.
@@Zaloomination Its a stretch to say that tariffs and isolationist/nationalist sentiments are biblically encouraged. I don't find he made a good case for this thesis in this "teaching". Personally, I think that tariffs are neither Christ-like nor un-Christ-like, it's just a financial tool for governments to manage trade. Nothing spiritual about it.
Nothing wrong with governments trying to look out for its citizenry as well, if that were all that Trump was up to, but it isn't. The way he approaches negotiations like a rude, immature and ill-informed bully, is most certainly un-Christ-like. Christians should beware when giving their whole-hearted support behind an ungodly leader.
Trump threatened the tariffs but backed off imposing them.
Is Trump not Christian now?
He didn't back off Trudue has promised to give Trump everything he asked and trump lifted the tariffs for a month he is using the tariffs as a barging chip to get what America needs it's about time we have a leader that actually has the back of America for once why are christians acting like it's a bad thing?
good point

I agree that the way Trump went about this whole tariff thing was unjustified, out of left field, and used as a tool of coercion seemingly to extract concessions so to speak, but countries applying tariffs as an actual financial tool (in opposition to globalism), I am not against in principle. I just don't see anything unbiblical about it. It is the duty of a nations leader to look out for the interests of its citizens first, and I can appreciate that.
How about the sermon on the Mount where we're are called to be a doormat,or when who is your neighbor, and if someone is in need, don't we just give it all away , then we have treasure in heaven?????? Or could it be we could actually look after number one in life and not be convicted by our conscious or Bible?????
I agree on a personal individual level. But government and leadership is different. If my husband gave all of our resources away to anyone who asked, and it took from our children's basic needs, he would not be caring properly for his family.

Roman’s 11 is clear be not slothful in buisnes
Many people view The Tower of Babel as a descriptive historical narrative rather than a prescriptive one. Since the Industrial Revolution, free trade has generally been seen as advantageous for all parties involved. To apply this story, along with the Book of Revelation, to argue against all forms of international cooperation would require interpreting the entire Bible as promoting a widespread theme of non-cooperation among different groups of people. This perspective was not thoroughly explored in this discussion to my satisfaction. As for the concessions, it is unclear whether Trump could have achieved the same measures by asking. Of course, it is a leadership style to threaten and bully even without bothering to ask. It gives the leader a different personality and is less Christ-like.
This view misses the main point of the perspective of this video: Satan’s goal is for the whole world to cooperate in rebellion and shunning of God and His people. Globalism is fundamentally Satan’s plan being acted out. It’s pretty plain to see if you know the Bible.

The Bible does not take a stance on abortion, and it certainly does not condemn it as murder, and those who want to appeal to the Bible to condemn abortion as murder don't have an exegetical leg to stand on. Because they have no exegetical leg to stand on, anti-abortionists resort to Biblical passages about God's foreknowledge or oversight of creation as specific manifestations of the belief that full moral and legal personhood began at conception, which is just not supported by Scripture.
You’re missing the entire moral argument that simply it is wrong to take an unborn life…period! Full stop…there is no argument beyond that & if you try to justify it you are a fool.
Why are you so obsessed with justifying murdering babies… its weird and gross..
A fetus is not a baby.
A human fetus is not "a living person" because it has not been imparted the "breath of life" (see Genesis 2:7). Therefore, abortion is not murder.
