Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.

Each and every person is given chances in their lives. I am not here to talk about equitable chances as many would like to talk about in today’s society. I am referring to the chances to choose to do what is right in our lives. We are all given the chance to decide between doing good and doing evil each day that we live.

It’s much easier to do the right thing the first time, but many times it takes me the second or third try. But what happens when we neglect the chances that God has given us?
In the 27th chapter of Matthew, we learn a lot about the cost of neglecting the chances that God gives us. We find the situation of Judas, who had spent years walking by Jesus’ side. Judas saw the miracles, heard the teachings, and witnessed work after work of Jesus. Even amid all the opportunities to serve Jesus, Judas still betrayed Him.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
