I saw the "herd mentality" on the news! What is the "herd mentality"? Sheep will follow a leader in circles! They'll inexplicably surround a car or a group of animals, and even jump off a cliff if the leader falls. This is the herd mentality! The "herd mentality" doesn't just happen with sheep; ducks, penguins, and many other animals also experience it! Do humans experience the "herd mentality"? Humans are animals, and they too experience the "herd mentality"! We often see groups of people blindly following a celebrity or idol. This is the "herd mentality"! In any group, the leader holds the dominant position and is extremely important. (John 10:12) But he, a hired hand, not a shepherd, whose own sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep. ~ I have always said: The Bible is a book of great wisdom! The Bible says: The sheep listen to the voice of the shepherd, and the shepherd will lay down his life for the flock! And Jesus likened all Christians to lambs. The term "pastor" we often use is "shepherd"! Are the pastors in our churches shepherds or hired hands?
Why is the Bible wise? Is Jesus a shepherd? Jesus was the son of a carpenter. Jesus never had sheep. How did Jesus know about the herd mentality? Why did Jesus tell his disciples about the herd mentality? Jesus told his disciples that the herd mentality has only one purpose: To teach them that leaders are important! And what did Jesus tell Peter? Feed my lambs! Jesus treated all believers as "lambs"! I hope Christians around the world can understand: Are you following a "hired servant" or a "shepherd"? A "hired servant" doesn't care about the lives of the sheep; he only seeks personal gain from them! Isn't the purpose of caring for the sheep to earn their wages? What is a "shepherd"? A "shepherd" will lay down his life for the sheep! A "shepherd" won't lead the sheep in circles or jump off a cliff! A true shepherd cares for the "growth" of his congregation! A true shepherd transforms his congregation into a "new creation"! If you've been a Christian for decades and your life is still filled with bitterness and resentment, and you still harbor greedy habits. Sorry! You're not following a shepherd, you're following a hired servant! If your pastor can't help you fully trust God, why should you follow him? If you fully follow the "true God," how can you harbor bitterness and resentment? We must know that our God is a completely righteous God! God will naturally punish the wicked, so why should we harbor bitterness and resentment? If your heart is still filled with greedy desires, then you too are following the hired hand! If you believe that our God is a God of grace, we don't need to be greedy! God will give us "grace and wages" based on our individual efforts! We should even believe that all our wealth comes from God! Do we need to be greedy??
I originally wanted to share with you how Trump fired the U.S. Secretary of Labor! The July employment rate was originally 140,000, but it was later reduced to 14,000! Let's pretend the decimal point was forgotten! I believe the Secretary of Labor didn't falsify the data. What benefit would she gain from falsifying the data? I want to say: The Secretary of Labor is part of the "herd mentality"! Key data that influences the Federal Reserve's interest rate: "Unemployment and inflation"! The "employment rate" is easy to obtain, but I want to ask Trump: How do you obtain the "unemployment rate"? This is why I say: The Secretary of Labor is part of the herd mentality! The Secretary of Labor chose the easiest job to get the "employment rate," but the "employment rate" cannot affect the "Federal Reserve interest rate"! The Federal Reserve Chairman is also part of the herd mentality! The Federal Reserve Chairman is overestimating the importance of unemployment and inflation data to interest rates! All I can say is: the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Department of Labor are too stuck in the past! By the time you're ready to rescue the U.S. economy, it won't be able to recover for 100 years! Trump's economics diploma must have been purchased. If it wasn't, then Trump is simply very evil! What's the purpose of Trump's tariffs? The purpose of Trump's tariffs is to take money out of the pockets of the American people to pay for his "Big, Beautiful" bills! What does that mean? Trump is taking money out of the pockets of the poor to pay taxes for America's rich and capitalists! Do the American people understand what Trump is doing? Trump's economics diploma was purchased, but I took both economics and accounting as electives, and I actually got 95s. Because economics and accounting are the easiest subjects—as long as I don't have to memorize them, they're easy for me! I just want the Secretary of Labor to understand: The Department of Labor really needs to think about how to obtain unemployment data. Unemployment data is more important than employment data! Employment data can be provided by businesses, but unemployment data truly reflects the people's livelihoods and the economy! Finally, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell should step down soon! If I were Powell, I'd be annoyed too! Being constantly nabbed by an ignorant president... Is the Fed Chairman solely responsible for deciding to cut interest rates? Trump is just looking for a scapegoat! Trump knows his "Trump tariffs" will cause severe inflation, so how can the Fed cut interest rates? What will happen if the Fed doesn't cut interest rates? The Fed has maintained high interest rates for over 42 months. What consequences will these high interest rates have? Slowed investment, deflation, economic depression, and a sharp drop in the stock market and real estate market! Why is the US housing market, stock market, and inflation still high despite the Fed's 42-month high interest rates? Because the US economy is so uncertain! High US debt and the resulting risk of a dollar collapse are high, which is why the housing market is rising! The housing market isn't driven by speculation, but by people's fear of holding US dollars and US Treasury bonds! The same goes for the high stock market! Inflation is thanks to Trump's tariffs! The Labor Secretary looks for "unemployment data" so the Fed knows whether to cut interest rates! Americans have elected a good president: One who will do anything for his own and his family's profits, disregarding the lives of the Palestinian people! Americans deserve this!!
