3 reasons If your ministry doesn’t tithe, finances will always be an uphill climb.
1. You’re Asking People to Practice a Principle Your Ministry Refuses to Practice
Luke 6:38 — “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over…”
If you preach tithing and giving to your people while your ministry itself doesn’t tithe, your pitch will always have a bit of hypocrisy to it. You’re asking others to trust God financially in a way you’re unwilling to trust Him yourself.
2. The Tithe Acknowledges That God—not Donors—is Your Source
Deuteronomy 8:18 — “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth…”
Tithing keeps a ministry conscious that its ultimate source is not wealthy donors, attendance, fundraising, or economic conditions; but God.
3. The Tithe Carries a Specific Promise Concerning the Devourer
Malachi 3:10–11 — “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse… and prove me now herewith… if I will not open you the windows of heaven… And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes…”
A ministry can have substantial income and still constantly lose ground through unnecessary expenses, breakdowns, waste, and financial pressure. God specifically connected the tithe with His rebuking of the devourer.

EYES WIDE SHUT: THE MISSING 20 MINUTES
You know, this is as good a time as any to finally address the missing 20 minutes from Eyes Wide Shut. It’s a story that has been circulating for many years, so let me tell you what I actually know and don’t know.
For context, my father always had his outtakes incinerated once a film was finished, specifically to prevent the studio from later re-editing his work or creating alternative versions.
There has been a lot of speculation that some 20 minutes were removed from Eyes Wide Shut after he died. This will be very disappointing to many people, but I certainly did not hear anything about a missing 20 minutes at the time, nor have I heard anything since that would confirm such a section ever existed. I guess you could stop reading right here. But if you’re interested in the details, please read on.
Of course, I was not in a position to know everything that may have happened before or immediately after my father’s death. At the time, I was living in Los Angeles, writing the score for a different movie. I flew to England, utterly traumatized, to be there for the preparations for my father’s funeral and burial. But I had to return to LA the day after his burial—stricken with grief and exhaustion—to complete the score I was contractually obligated to finish, which I barely managed. So I wasn’t there, in more ways than one, for whatever discussions may have followed.
The only alteration I heard about at the time was the use of CGI—computer-generated figures—to obscure some of the nudity in the orgy scene, which Warner Brothers wanted in order to secure an R rating for the film. But I did not hear that any shots or scenes were removed.
When my father died, Eyes Wide Shut had reached picture lock and was moving through the final stages of post-production. It had just been shown to the studio heads, I assume with a temporary music track, while the final sound mix and some of the music work were still to be completed.
This was 1999, in the era of physical film distribution. The film was edited on Avid, but that should not be confused with the kind of permanent digital archive people imagine today. The Avid material consisted of standard-definition video transfers made from the rushes—720 × 576 pixels—and used for editing. They were working copies, not a high-resolution digital preservation of the original negative. There wasn’t a high-resolution digital version of every take sitting on a server somewhere, as people might reasonably imagine today.
There were, of course, all the 35mm rush prints, as well as the original camera negative containing the outtakes. Eventually, long after the film was finished and released, the 35mm rush prints and the original negative of outtakes were incinerated. The original master negative of the finished film and the intermediate film elements made from it were, of course, kept in storage.
Once the picture was locked, the original camera negative would have been physically cut to match the final Avid edit. Once the negative itself had been cut, you couldn’t simply undo those cuts and rearrange the film: each cut destroyed a frame at both the head and tail of the shot. The master negative of the finished film was then used to make interpositives, from which internegatives were made, and those internegatives would have been used to make the 35mm theatrical release prints. The original negative of the outtakes never went through that process because, of course, those shots were not part of the finished film.
Someone might say, “But then, if the missing 20-minute edit exists, it would be preserved on the Avid!” But editing the film on Avid does not mean all of that material was preserved indefinitely. This was not an era in which every piece of editorial media was automatically retained on servers for decades, and I have no knowledge of whether any of the Avid editorial material from the production still exists. That’s a question for the …

Mind-blowing! 🤯 In the heart of Antarctica, nature creates an incredible sight: a red waterfall flowing through the ice of Taylor Glacier. This phenomenon is called Blood Falls, and it looks almost unreal against the white frozen landscape.
The deep red color comes mainly from iron rich, salty water trapped beneath the glacier. When this water reaches the surface and meets oxygen, the iron rusts, just like metal, turning the water a vivid red.
Scientists have also discovered microbes living in this dark, salty lake under the ice. These bacteria survive without sunlight and help drive chemical reactions involving iron and sulfur, making the ecosystem even more fascinating.
Because the water is extremely salty, it does not freeze, even in temperatures far below zero. Blood Falls is not just beautiful, it may also help scientists understand how life could exist on icy planets like Mars.

Horrible news.
The Liberal Government has just successfully “censored their censorship bill” by working with the separatist Bloc Quebecois to end committee debate and ram the bill through Parliament.
The bill seeks to make it easier to prosecute and arrest Canadians for political and religious expression by watering down the definition of “hate speech” and removing important safeguards against abuse.
We’ll continue the fight in Parliament, but there’s no way to sugar-coat the situation.
This is a dark day for free speech in Canada.

Wait, so the founder of Anthropic is "Amodei," as in "loves god"?
And he leads Anthropic, meaning "human-centered," which is being used in military strikes?
And the creator of ChatGPT is "Altman," as in "an alternative to humans"?
And he leads OpenAI, which is completely closed?
And then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a company that promised to do no evil?
And the whole global AI arms race is being driven by people who claimed to be worried about AGI taking over the world?
Either the universe is an extremely cliché writer, or has a brilliant sense of humor

I put together an Epstein Occult Dossier documenting his affiliations with various secret societies (beyond CFR, Bilderberg, etc.), practice of Crowleyan sex magick, baby farming operation and transhumanist agenda. Link in the replies. ⬇️

Wouldn't it be wild if we find out Qanon was ... Jeffrey Epstein?
And that the whole thing was a plot designed to make the idea of an elite child sex trafficking ring so ludicrous, so dangerous, that we must purge the internet of such "fake news," lest we want more Pizzagate tragedies?
Hear me out.
In 2013, Epstein meets with the 4chan founder the day before the platform drops its infamous /pol board, which became a hive for "far right" memes and eventually Qanon. (Of note, 4chan's founder says the timing is a coincidence and he regrets his relationship w/ Epstein.)
The meeting came via Bill Gates' adviser/Epstein's friend, Boris Nikolic, who marveled of these platforms' exploitability to Epstein: "the potential for manipulation is huge." Nikolic linked a WaPo article discussing how 4Chan had been exploited to launch cyberattacks and fuel a “hive mind” mentality. justice.gov/epstein/files/Da…
Later in 2013, Epstein emails Joi Ito, Martin Nowak, and Joscha Bach on the importance of narratives people can emotionally invest in: "the deception of the individual is necessary for the survivability of the group... A nation needs heroes. A hero is someone who is dead, for the benefit of the group. deception between different hierarchies... work hard to become successful, benefit for the org, not you" justice.gov/epstein/files/Da…
We also see in these files Epstein spending a fortune manipulating online perceptions of his operations.
In 2012, he hired Reputation Changer LLC for a comprehensive "Reputation Clearing Action Plan.™" The proposal explicitly states the goal was to "suppress negative listings that can render them nearly invisible" and achieve "full control and maintenance of Jeffrey Epstein's major search engine results to avoid permanent public embarrassment." justice.gov/epstein/files/Da…
Reputation Changer used a "proprietary Reputation Management and Real-Time Linking System™" designed to "push negative content about you or your brand off of the first page of the major search engines and out of general public view" [Page 7]. Their analysis showed that 95% of web users don't search past page 1, making first-page dominance crucial.
The firm identified specific "negative keywords" including "Jeffrey Epstein" and monitored search results showing problematic content like:"Jeffrey Epstein kept a diary of his under-aged victims - Telegraph""Jeffrey Epstein: How the Hedge Fund Mogul Pedophile Got Off Easy""Jeffrey Epstein: This Isn't A Sex Offender, It's An Offender!" [Page 6]2016: Wikileaks begins DNC drops. This is the first time the public encounters the kind of depraved behavior we've since learned overlaps with the Epstein files.
Soon thereafter, Epstein is emailing his lawyer with the idea of mixing fake, extreme emails into the real ones: "What a trick could be played," he writes. justice.gov/epstein/files/Da…
2017: Feds turn up heat (supposedly) on Epstein, around which time the Qanon drops begin. The conspiracy theory's focus on elite child trafficking networks directly mirrored the allegations against Epstein.
Also of note: News of Epstein's death was posted to 4chan more than half an hour before it became public, leading the NYCFD to investigate if someone leaked. This indicates the platform's potential use for seeding narratives as part of larger psyops.
The Epstein files also include an email from a redacted source (although I can see it's his friend, the late author Edward Jay Epstein) with CIA Document #1035-960 from April 1967 marked "PSYCH" for Psychological Warfare Operations, which provided instructions for "media assets" on how to label critics as "conspiracy theorists." Epstein responded: "great, i would frame it and highlight the words our ploy" (emph. added). (I also can't help but note: Edward Jay Epstein was a published author whose most famous book skeptically examined the Warren Commission report; he would have been well experienced to help manufacture fake Qanon posts, but THIS IS PURE SPECULATION.) justice.gov/epstein/files/Da…
Also of significance is Ghsillane Maxwell's prominent role in Reddit. Maxwell's Reddit account The account "accumulated 14,993,132 Karma since March 11, 2016," per the FBI, and "served as an influential moderator for many subreddits. This is an extraordinary amount of karma indicating either highly popular content, or more likely, systematic posting. justice.gov/epstein/files/Da…
The FBI noted "gaps in posting surrounding the death of Ghislaine Maxwell's mother (Elisabeth Maxwell), suggesting the account's activity correlated with real-world events in Maxwell's life. Unsurprisingly, Maxwell used the account to try persuading people toward more lenient attitudes on child sex trafficking, posting links like:
"Falkvinge: Three strong reasons child porn must be re-legalized in the coming decade"
"Girl steps in front of man's car. He grabs her arm and lectures her about traffic safety. Result? He is now a convicted sex offender"
Finally, the Qanon craziness ended up playing a role in Maxwell's trial. During one of the proceedings, "Qanon activists" began interrupting proceedings, and her lawyers used the apparent risk of Pizzagate/Qanon violence to insist she be granted bail.
OF COURSE, I have identified NO SMOKING GUN that Jeffrey Epstein was surreptitiously running the Qanon psyop. But there is certainly a lot of circumstantial evidence that overlaps with his own strategic interests.
Ultimately, in the Qanon conspiracy, Trump was the hero who was secretly arranging to have pedos lined up & arrested. In reality, he doesn't seem particularly interested in us pulling this thread any harder. Opinions as to why will surely differ.

A corollary of this idea is that taste is a critical element of skill.
You can't produce "good" unless you know what it looks like.
This is the first phase in a three phase model of learning:
1. Education: Learn about the skill from another, or observe another putting the skill to use, and learn what a skilled repetition looks like.
2. Practice: Execute repetitions of the skill under zero-pressure conditions, refining until the observed repetitions can be duplicated.
3. Add pressure conditions in gradually, and execute repetitions until a skilled repetition can be produced, on demand, under whatever pressure the skill is normally employed at.
Learn what good looks like, learn to produce good, learn to produce good under pressure. Each time you reach a plateau, go back to phase one and further refine.
That mean if you fail to learn, you fail for one of three reasons.
1. You don't know what you're supposed to be doing.
2. You haven't worked enough reps.
3. You don't leave your comfort zone in practice.
