I went back and listened all the way through; it was painful. They spent a lot of time accusing each other of being liars. I support neither one for president. I personally find DeSantis a little less annoying than Haley.
Haley had a "grit and grace" ad recently, and apparently the phrase is part of the title of a book she published.
The ad has one point that I also found rather offensive in the debate: Haley's vision of Americans being "proud". Pride is a sin, and it is not a good thing to latch your politics onto.
There is much to be gleaned from old books. Today I learned that the cutting to pieces of Rahab in Isaiah 51 can be understood as part of God's work in parting and securing a passage across the Red Sea for the escape of the Israelites from Egypt.
They weren't just fleeing the Egyptians; there were principalities and powers at work then, just as now.
The Israelites were significantly reminded of the Red Sea passage as they entered the Promised Land, Joshua 4 says, when God stopped the flow of the Jordan River for them to cross over.
There's also the prostitute Rahab who assisted the Israelites, whose God had easily defeated her namesake.
"Three souls flying home because I stayed behind"
One of the souls I've helped toward salvation suddenly flew home recently. This song helped me to really cry for the first time over it.
I happened to read about the Gadarene swine in Mark 3 this morning before coming across this piece, which mentions it.
David Clements mentions Michael Cocchini. A quick internet search tells me that they've worked together before, and that a different Michael Cocchini--and a Susan Clements--went fatally missing in the Smoky Mountains. At separate times.
Feels like a rabbit hole.
Much like Jonathan Cahn connects the major demons of ancient Israel to today's United States, Clements says that the spirits of the Nephilim are here and active.
