When Did Democracy Work in America? | Church 6/25/23

"Democracy" worked when men led. Biblical Q: Why are you ashamed of the anger and hatred in you? Work on yourself.

Church with Jesse Lee Peterson, Sunday, June 25, 2023: Are you working on yourself? How? // Raymond, what is democracy? Republic? Did it work in America when people believed in God? We once had jobs not overseas, big families, and cheap gasoline. It worked when men ran things. //
A rapper (DMX, I believe), his unloving mother left him to his grandmother. He had an awful life because no one told him to forgive. //

Biblical Question: Why are you ashamed of the anger and hatred in you? Who is it in your body feeling ashamed? You've never done anything wrong or right. A mother seeing herself in her daughter: it's imposed identities, possession. //

New Biblical Question, asked and answered: What's worse, teaching "transgender" in schools, or mothers turning children away from fathers? //

Work on yourself: Pray, watch thoughts, and don't identify with evil. It's not you. //
