🎯 While it is true that Martin Luther had some interesting thoughts on beer and wine, it is important to remember that using the Bible to excuse your drinking habits as a chronic DUI offender is not only irresponsible but also dangerous. Posting naked pictures of yourself online with FB only further demonstrates a lack of self-control and respect for yourself and others.

Using quotes from historical figures to justify reckless behavior is not a valid excuse. The Bible may not explicitly forbid drinking, but it does emphasize the importance of self-control and moderation. As a chronic DUI offender, it is crucial that you take responsibility for your actions and seek help to address your drinking problem.

Instead of using quotes to justify your behavior, I urge you to seek help and make positive changes in your life. Drinking and driving not only puts your own life at risk but also endangers the lives of others on the road. It is never too late to seek help and make changes for the better. Remember, true self-control means making responsible choices and taking accountability for your actions.

Do not be quick to attribute your protection to God; perhaps it is the devil, skillfully keeping you ensnared in his grasp.

In the darkest corners of the world, even the devil protects his own, for in the realm of shadows, loyalty is the currency of darkness.

Do not use God or the Bible to excuse your bad behavior and claim God’s protection from consequences, it’s the devil buying your dark soul.

Heavenly Father,

We come before you today with heavy hearts, seeking your guidance and strength. We lift up women who find themselves in situations where they enable others to share po*******hy. We pray for their hearts and minds to be touched by your grace and wisdom.

Grant them the courage to stand up against the sharing of harmful content, to speak out against actions that degrade and objectify others. Give them the wisdom to see the value and dignity of every person, and the strength to defend and protect those who are affected by the harmful effects of po*******hy.

Help them to understand the consequences of their actions and the impact they have on individuals, families, and society as a whole. Lead them on a path of repentance, forgiveness, and healing.

May they find hope and redemption in you, Lord, and may they be empowered to make choices that honor you and respect the sanctity of human life. Guide them to seek your truth and to live in a way that reflects your love and righteousness.

We ask for your mercy and grace to surround these women, to transform their hearts, and to lead them to a place of restoration and healing. May they find strength in you to break free from enabling harmful behaviors and to walk in the light of your truth.

In Jesus' name, we pray.

Amen 🙏

The Temptations of the Devil: A Biblical Perspective

The concept of temptation by the Devil is a prevalent theme in the Bible, illustrating the age-old struggle between good and evil. Throughout the scriptures, various accounts depict how individuals were tempted by the Devil to stray from the path of righteousness. In this blog, we will explore how the Devil tempts us according to the Bible, examining key passages and drawing insights into the nature of these temptations.

🔥 Temptation through Desires:
One common way the Devil tempts individuals is through their desires and weaknesses. In the book of James 1:14, it is written, "but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed." This verse highlights how the Devil preys on our innermost desires, enticing us to act in ways that are contrary to God's will.

🔥 Temptation through Doubt:
Another tactic employed by the Devil is to instill doubt in the minds of individuals regarding their faith and beliefs. In the Gospel of Matthew 4:3, Satan tempts Jesus by saying, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." Here, the Devil attempts to sow seeds of doubt in Jesus' identity and relationship with God.

🔥 Temptation through Pride:
Pride is often cited as a major temptation that the Devil uses to lead people astray. In the book of 1 John 2:16, it states, "For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world." This verse underscores how the Devil appeals to our pride and ego, urging us to exalt ourselves above others and God.

The temptations of the Devil as depicted in the Bible serve as a cautionary reminder of the constant spiritual battle between good and evil. By understanding how the Devil tempts us through our desires, doubts, and pride, we can better equip ourselves to resist these temptations and stay steadfast in our faith.

It is concerning that he publicly shared himself on Facebook in a state influenced by substance use, where good judgment seems to have been compromised. Those who encouraged his drinking should reflect on their actions, as they may have contributed to this situation.

We must ensure that he did not drive his car, especially considering the uncertainty surrounding the functionality of his intoxalock due to lack of maintenance. It is essential that we take proper action to prevent any potential harm to him and the community. Let us keep him and everyone in the community in our thoughts and prayers during this worrying time.

Subject: Urgent Attention Required: Violation of "Limited Driving Privilege" by Lesallan Bostron

Dear Missouri Department of Revenue and Honorable Judges of Lawrence County,

I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a matter of grave concern regarding Lesallan Bostron and his repeated and blatant violations of his "Limited Driving Privilege." It has come to my attention that Mr. Bostron is frequently possessing and consuming intoxicating beverages, despite the clear restrictions placed upon him.

Mr. Bostron's actions demonstrate a complete lack of respect for himself, the court, the law, and the community. This is not an isolated incident; he repeatedly and brazenly flaunts these violations without a care in the world. His behavior shows a profound disrespect for the authority of the Lawrence County Judges and the legal system as a whole.

Furthermore, Mr. Bostron has failed to maintain his Intoxalock device, which was mandated to be on his vehicle until 2030. This failure alone should raise serious concerns about his commitment to adhering to the terms of his limited driving privilege and the safety of the community. It begs the question: why does this man still possess a driver's license?

Mr. Bostron's continuous substance use, particularly from the moment he was no longer subjected to court-ordered drug testing, confirms his disregard for the law. His history as a lifelong offender, coupled with his apparent desire to continue his substance use, poses a significant threat to public safety.

Our community deserves to feel safe and secure, free from the dangers posed by individuals who repeatedly violate the law and endanger others. It is imperative that stringent measures be taken to address this issue and protect the public from Mr. Bostron's reckless behavior.

I urge the Missouri Department of Revenue and the Lawrence County judges to review Mr. Bostron's case with the utmost seriousness and take the necessary actions to revoke his driving privileges. The safety of our community must take precedence over Mr. Bostron's ability to drive, given his track record of violations and substance abuse.

Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. I trust that you will take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety and well-being of our community.

🌟 Response to Those Promoting Love While Speaking Ill of Women, Children, Addicts and More🌟

It's important for us to remember that our words and actions should align with the values we claim to uphold, especially when we promote Bible scripture like Proverbs 14:31:

"Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God."

While it's admirable to speak about the love of God and how it should guide our treatment of others, it's equally important to ensure that our words and behaviors reflect those principles in all aspects of our lives.

When we consistently speak ill of others, spread negativity, or oppress those who are vulnerable, we contradict the very message of love and compassion that we claim to stand for. It's crucial to remember that everyone is created in the image of God and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

Let us strive to live out the true essence of God's love by showing kindness, empathy, and understanding to all individuals, regardless of our differences. May our actions speak louder than our words, and may we embody the spirit of love and acceptance in all that we do. 🙏💖

How to Avoid Manipulation by Those Who Misuse the Bible

In a world where the sacred teachings of the Bible can be twisted for personal gain, it is essential to arm oneself with knowledge and discernment to avoid falling victim to manipulation. Here are some key strategies to help you stay grounded in your faith and guard against those who seek to exploit it for their own agendas:

🔆 Study the Scriptures: Take the time to delve into the Bible yourself, seeking to understand its teachings in their true context. By familiarizing yourself with the word of God, you equip yourself with the knowledge to recognize when someone is distorting or misinterpreting scripture.

🔆 Seek Guidance: Surround yourself with trusted spiritual mentors, pastors, or community members who can provide guidance and support. Discussing your questions and concerns with others can help you gain perspective and clarity on complex or confusing teachings.

🔆 Trust Your Instincts: If something doesn't feel right or align with the core principles of love, compassion, and righteousness found in the Bible, trust your instincts. Listen to that inner voice that warns you of manipulation or deceit.

🔆 Question Authority: Don't be afraid to question those who claim to speak on behalf of God or use the Bible to manipulate others. True spiritual leaders welcome questions and scrutiny, as they seek to guide and support their followers rather than control them.

I really love this passage and thought I would share. Matthew 23:27-28 (NIV), Jesus criticizes the religious leaders of his time, saying:

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness."

🎯This passage highlights the importance of genuine faith and righteousness rather than outward appearances of piety. I have noticed a lot of this behavior and continue to pray. Be sure to view my prayer and examples in the comments.

Urgent Concern Regarding Lesallan Bostron's Driving Privileges and Substance Use ‼️

Dear Honorable Judges of Lawrence County, Missouri, and the Missouri Department of Revenue Driver License Department,

I write to you with a deep sense of concern regarding the ongoing situation involving Mr. Lesallan Bostron and his driving privileges. It has come to my attention that Mr. Bostron has a troubling history of drinking and driving dating back to his youth in the state of Wisconsin, including incidents of hit and run and other crimes associated with substance abuse.

Despite a lengthy suspension of his driver's license and a series of offenses involving weapons, drug paraphernalia, drugs, driving without a license, and more, Mr. Bostron was granted a "limited driving privilege" for specific reasons such as school, work, caring for an elderly woman, and VA purposes. However, recent developments cast doubt on the validity of these reasons.

It has been observed that Mr. Bostron no longer works, attends only online school in Ohio, and the elderly woman he was supposed to care for has moved out of state following a concerning incident that prompted her to seek legal intervention. Furthermore, Mr. Bostron's social media presence reveals a consistent pattern of alcohol consumption and possession, even after court-ordered treatment, raising serious doubts about his commitment to rehabilitation and public safety.

Of particular concern is Mr. Bostron's reported use of substances that may not be detectable by standard monitoring devices like Intoxalock, posing a significant risk to himself and the community at large. His history of substance abuse, including incidents during his very short military service resulting in a less-than-honorable discharge that was later amended, further underscores the gravity of the situation.

I urge you to reevaluate Mr. Bostron's need for driving privileges in light of the aforementioned circumstances. Alternative transportation options such as the Oats bus are available and should be considered as a safer alternative. It is imperative to closely monitor Mr. Bostron's behavior, especially his continued substance use post-treatment, his repeated disregard for court orders, and his overall lack of respect for the law and community.

I implore you to take swift and decisive action to address this pressing issue to ensure the safety and well-being of our community as you revaluate the limited driving privilege after his failure to maintain his Intoxalock per the Missouri Department of Revenue Driver License Dept. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

When is it enough? Do we wait until a death or injury? It is concerning and unacceptable for individuals to flaunt their possession and consumption of alcohol on social media, especially in defiance of court orders, the Missouri Department of Revenue Missouri Department of Revenue and the well-being of the community. Such behavior not only shows a lack of regard for the law but also displays insensitivity.

Driving under the influence and irresponsible behavior related to alcohol consumption have serious consequences that can result in harm to oneself and others. It is crucial for individuals to understand the gravity of their actions and the impact they can have on society.

In cases where individuals demonstrate a pattern of disregard for the law and safety regulations, it may be necessary to reevaluate their eligibility for a driver's license. The safety of the community should always be a top priority, and those who repeatedly show a blatant disregard for the rules should face appropriate consequences to prevent future harm.

It is important for everyone to act responsibly, respect the law, and consider the well-being of others when making decisions about alcohol consumption and driving. Let us all strive to create a safer and more responsible environment for everyone.
