    What do you consider the single greatest threat you will be facing this year?

    To you?

    To family?

    To society?

    To the assembly?

    To....?

    Israel shall continue to be the most despised and threatened. Both politically and physically. Conservative Christianity shall continue to come under increased assault and mockery here in America. America and Israel's enemies shall continue to enhance their alliance and defiance of American and Israeli interests. I suspect that the hooks were firmly set in the jaws of the Gog-Magog alliance approximately 10 years ago when massive amounts of energy resources were discovered in the Eastern Mediterranean in Israel's territorial waters. Coincidentally, America discovered massive amounts of energy resources as well. Now both nations have significantly greater energy independence which undermines the leverage the globalists had prior to these discoveries. This is why the Climate hoax is being pushed so strong upon the gullible in America and Israel, to attempt to persuade the populace to obstruct the utilization of these energy resources for energy independence. Israel is set to start the flow of energy resources and are being blocked by the courts. Turkey and Lybia have recently formed an agreement claiming connecting territorial waters in an attempt to block Israel from building an Israeli, Cyprot, Greek pipeline to be utilized to provide energy resources to Europe, which would be in direct competition with the energy leverage Russia is formulating upon Europe.

    Sooner or later there is one major problem that no one wants to try to tackle. Debt. Both private and especially national.

    Not addressing this problem is due to a country that loves money. In this case somebody else's money. We as a country will sooner or later going to be slaves to the lenders.

    This year? Or next. . ., who knows, but it is coming.

    I agree with you. I think the money is essentially worthless.

    I am assuming you both live debt free?

    Not a criticism, but we all know economic collapse is coming.

    So, being debt free would be best for everyone?

    For the reader. China pretty much owns the greater part of the US infrastructure, industry, and food production (farms, ranches, processing, ...)

    When was the last time you bought a component, tool, or ate what was not ultimately from China?

    Ever wonder why fewer packaging contains were it was made?

    Santa longer more shocking list?

    Being debt free is the only way a believer should live.

    I use a credit card because of the safety of not carrying large sums of money and due to the fact that they pay cash rewards. But, I don't spend more than the amount I have in my short term savings, so paying off at the end of the month is no problem.

    I do realize that many people try to do that, but are not able to.
    There are legitimate reasons to use credit. I do not believe others should never use credit, but it should be used wisely. Purchasing a house is a wise use of credit in most areas if the buyer builds equity instead of just throwing away money on rent. The problem with buying is when a person uses a very long term loan so they can buy a more expensive house than they can actually afford. Another problem is many people don't plan for the worse. . .

    Critical Race Theory, this gender debacle, and Complementarianism.

    While "Christendom" did not always act in a Christ-like manner, the current forces are attacking the underpinnings of society. They are attacking the notion that objective truth exists.

    How Dare You!!! No mention of man-made climate change?!?!

    Just kidding. My concerns are currently personal. My wife is getting back surgery early next month.

    My own aging process is making my life insurance premiums unaffordable now. I can keep one policy by reducing the coverage by one half, but the premiums on the other one will soar to a ridiculous level very soon. No chance of making my wife a rich widow unless I kick the bucket pretty soon. Poor gal.

    I think the monetary system is based on an illusion. There is no money there.

    Who owns all the debt? Some say China, but I read that China has a large debt, so whodoes own it?
