(Robb Brunansky – The Cripplegate) The fruit of the Holy Spirit addresses a critical concern in our day – the importance of cultivating virtue. Virtue is a word not often used, but it basically means moral excellency. It speaks to the moral fabric woven throughout our lives. To be a person of virtue means to live according to biblical convictions. Virtue speaks to the character and quality of the heart.
We don’t hear a lot today in the church about virtue, character, or moral excellency. There might be many reasons for this omission but let me suggest a couple…. Continue reading
“That leads me to the other glaring irony: Countries with kings don’t allow “no kings” protests. That pesky fact undermined the entire premise of the agitators.”
“The American Values Coalition recently hosted a discussion between the extremely woke Richard Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary, and Adam Taylor, president of Sojourners, a gay affirming, illegal alien amnesty-promoting outlet.”
(Bill O’Reilly) It is likely over for the Islamic terrorists in Iran, but they don’t know it yet. The Israeli Air Force was able to bomb multiple sites in that country without resistance. The Iranian air defense system does not exist.
“In all these states and across the country, small-town Americans need to fight back. There is no constitutional right to live in a wealthy town with single-family homes and leafy, quiet streets.”
(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Like so many others, I spent last night glued to the news — here at PJ Media and on X — marveling at the breadth, depth, and mind-blowing precision of Israel’s initial strike on Iran. No surprise here: Mossad and Israeli special forces were the real stars of the show.
“It is important to understand what’s really happening here: California has positioned itself in ideological opposition to national sovereignty and law enforcement. The leadership in Sacramento and Los Angeles has chosen to prioritize ideological virtue signaling over practical governance, turning California into a testing ground for utopian policies divorced from reality.”
“It wouldn’t have mattered if Trump had brought a petting zoo with him and spent the afternoon watching the troops with baby goats and talking about their favorite flavors of pie — the MSM would have retold it as a Stalinesque horror story.”
“Dr. Tim Clinton, president of the American Association of Christian Counselors, the largest Christian counseling association in the world, told me that it’s not just poor spiritual stewardship for CT to send Christian listeners to BetterHelp, it can also be dangerous.”
California’s taxpayers have no clue that they are financing far Left anti-American organizations that are involved in destroying LA!
Watch the video.
“The president of Mexico has sided with the rioters waving Mexican flags over and against federal authorities attempting to enforce U.S. immigration law on American soil.”
“Warren, like so many of his empty-minded kind fail to understand, is that while Catholics may say they believe in these things, in practice and in definition, they are completely different. Catholics may say they believe Christ died on the cross for our sins, but to them, that simply means that Christ made it possible for them to earn their salvation through good works—something the Scriptures clearly teach is a damnable belief.”
“Jayapal is a leading advocate for more immigration — regardless of the impact on Americans — because new migrants often depend on government aid and so mostly vote for the Democratic Party.”
(Greg Koukl – Stand to Reason) If you want to quickly spot any form of “Christianity” gone south, watch for three specific telltale signs—a hat-trick of errors that, in whole or in part, characterize virtually every single Christian-sounding group that is off the reservation.
“You can’t have leftists without indulgent liberals, liberals without a true north. Liberals who are afraid to drive a stake in the ground and declare that they will not sell their fellow man out for a few atta boys at the club or a knowing nod from a colleague.”
Remember the BLM riots of 2020? Newsom and his fellow Destructionists called them “mostly peaceful.” Billions in damages, dozens of deaths, and neighborhoods gutted. No accountability. No prosecution. And certainly no apology. Compare that with how Jan. 6 protesters were hunted down across state lines, or how parents protesting school boards were labeled “domestic terrorists.”
“Stroll on the Harvard campus. You look in vain for the Stars and Stripes. Instead, you see Islamic flags featuring a green field, a white crescent moon and a star. You listen in vain for the national anthem, the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” or “Yankee Doodle.” Instead, you hear the antisemitic chant “From the river to the sea” calling for the destruction of Israel.”
“After decades of steady decline, the share of Americans identifying as Christian has stabilized. One reason is the unexpected religiosity of Generation Z — young adults born after 2000 — who are not abandoning religion at the rate their parents did. For some, faith has become a form of rebellion against a culture that rejects traditional values.”
(Sister Toldjah – Red State) I did not have “Simone Biles attacks Riley Gaines” on my bingo card this week, and yet here we are.
“When a man walks into church—even skeptical, even tired—he’s not looking for himself. He’s looking for something bigger. Transcendent. Weighty. And when we open with “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty”, we’re not alienating him. We’re inviting him into heaven’s soundtrack (Rev. 4:8).”
(Iain Murray) The first and invariable result of the new birth, according to Christ, is ‘sight’ (
