BUREAUPHOBIA

Having a negative image of public administration
which resists even positive experiences with government.

Candace Owens is a popular commentator who often talks about culture and politics in a way that encourages people to FIGHT against powerful elites. She focuses more on CHALLENGING AUTHORITY, being DEFIANT, and taking sides than on explaining detailed policies or moral arguments. Her style often makes politics seem like a clear “us versus them” struggle, and she presents herself as someone who speaks the truth. Critics say that her messages are mostly reactive and focused on conflict, so sometimes her arguments seem less important than the FIGHT itself. Its hard for me to take her seriously. She’s just a conspiracy theorist. Her arguments are unfocused and unreliable. She continues to be defined by her confrontational style and conspiracy theories, which create controversy. Confrontational Conspiracy Theorist might be an adequate description of the online persona she’s built for herself. But is she like this in real life? Maybe, and if she is, I sure wouldn’t want to be around her when she gets like this. It sounds like the ravings of a madwoman; not the zeal of a Spirit-empowered prophetess.  –J.B.

I had the opportunity to take out
Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.

Oh Lord, you are the great and awesome God
Oh Lord, you are the righteous and Holy One
Yet we have sinned, turned away from your ways
Yes we have sinned, walked away from your ways
We have not listened to your servants
We have not listened

Now oh Lord, hear our prayer, hear our cry
Oh Lord, open out eyes and see our desolation
We do not pray because we are righteous, Oh Lord
But because of your great mercy, we pray

Oh Lord, listen (listen)
Oh Lord, forgive (forgive)
Oh Lord, hear and act
For your sake, do not delay
Oh Lord, hear our cry
For we bear your name

–Vineyard Music, Brian Doerksen, “Daniel’s Prayer”–

What can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
–Romans 1:19-20 (ESV)–

The Spirit himself bears witness with
our spirit that we are children of God.
–Romans 8:16 (ESV)–

The Lord himself will give you a sign. 
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel.
–Isaiah 7:14 (ESV)–

But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
    who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
    one who is to be ruler in Israel,
whose coming forth is from of old,
    from ancient days.
–Micah 5:2 (ESV)–

³ He was despised and rejected by men,
    a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
    he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
⁴ Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    smitten by God, and afflicted.
⁵ But he was pierced for our transgressions;
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    and with his wounds we are healed.
⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.
⁷ He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
    yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
    and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
    so he opened not his mouth.
–Isaiah 53:3-7 (ESV)–

I said to them, “If it seems good to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” And they weighed out as my wages thirty pieces of silver. ¹³ Then the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the lordly price at which I was priced by them. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord, to the potter.
–Zechariah 11:12-13 (ESV)–

Thou wilt not leave my soul in Hell;
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
–Psalm 16:10 (KJV)–

Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart.
–Jesus Christ in Matthew 11:29 (NIV)–

Lock it down, and overthrow all the pilots
And get out of town, can you see them smiling
Blisters, these bones are breaking
Whispers, are louder than screaming
And we suffer this moment until the day is comin’
That we’ll reign forever!

Training Day
‘Cause I Man is coming and we are the teachers
Training Day
We been through the fire ’cause we the pioneers
Training Day
The soul of the lion, Jah love for the bleedin’
Training Day
Warrior soldiers, we still believe you!

Crawlin’ through Poison Ivy
My soul still flies with broken wings
And the sun is blinding, I can’t stop starin’
I don’t wanna close my eyes
Righteous respects, and it’s the best kept secret
And I can let go of my burdens that keep me from living
So I can start dying

Training Day
‘Cause I Man is coming and we are the teachers
Training Day
We been through the fire ’cause we the pioneers
Training Day
The soul of the lion, Jah love for the bleedin’
Training Day
Warrior soldiers, we still believe you!

Warriors
Jah love for the bleedin’
Jah soldiers
We still believe you

Crawlin’ through Poison Ivy
My soul still flies with broken wings
And the sun is blinding, I can’t stop starin’
I don’t wanna close my eyes
