Portland and Seattle residents slam ‘weak’ response to Antifa riots
Residents in Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, say they’re fed up with local officials’ “weak” response to the Antifa riots that swept through the cities Wednesday. In Seattle, city council members and Mayor Jenny Durkan merely issued statements over the Inauguration Day violence that resulted in smashed-up storefronts and burning American flags hours after President Biden was sworn in. Victoria Beach, a community activist, told KOMO News that it wasn’t enough. “Very weak. Very weak,”

QUOTE OF THE YEAR! I think many take a blind eye to evil and “just hope evil goes away.” I have been preaching for years behind the microphone in radio and tv and from the pulpit and from FGGAM the REASONS for evil, this is not time for a “high school pep rally” it is a time for REVIVAL and intense PRAYER, spiritual warfare is intense in America. So many, even many Christians, are taking a blind eye to the evil that covers the city, the killing of
innocent people, abortions and homicides, suicides, drug overdoses, and parents killing their own, thugs destroying federal, state and local government property across the nation! Raising pure hell!
I say again my friends, you cannot legislate morality! It is a heart issue, hearts need to be softened and given to Jesus!
Evil is real – and powerful. It has to be fought, not explained away, not fled. And God is against evil all the way. So each of us has to decide where we stand, how we’re going to live our lives. We can try to persuade ourselves that evil doesn’t exist; live for ourselves and wink at evil. We can say that it isn’t so bad after all, maybe even try to call it fun by clothing it in silks and velvets. We can compromise with it, keep quiet about it and say it’s none of our business. Or we can work on God’s side, listen for His orders on strategy against the evil, no matter how horrible it is, and know that He can transform it.
IMPACTFUL WORDS FROM CATHERINE MARSHALL!!!
From Billy Graham:
Where does evil come from? The Bible admittedly doesn’t answer all our questions about evil, but it does tell us that evil comes ultimately from Satan, who is absolutely evil and opposed to everything good, including God. And while Satan isn’t equal to God, he’s a powerful spiritual being who seeks by every means possible to block what God is doing. Jesus called him “a murderer from the beginning … and the father of lies” (John 8:44).
One of Satan’s biggest lies is to convince people that he doesn’t even exist, and that evil isn’t real. But if evil isn’t real, why did Jesus Christ come into the world? Jesus didn’t come to teach us how to think positive thoughts. He came to give his life as the final sacrifice for sin, and by his resurrection he conquered evil and Satan and hell. Someday, his victory will be complete, and Satan and evil will be banished forever. The Bible says, “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work” (1 John 3:8).
