“People may stop professing to be Christians, and people may stop going to a building they call “church.” But people don’t depart the faith because of interpersonal disputes or perceived societal wrongs. Rather they leave these institutions because they were never genuinely rooted in Christ, to begin with.”
(The Dissenter) The Gospel Coalition has made quite the proposition suggesting that a novel source of enlightenment awaits the Church in the most unlikely of places: Barbie. Their article confidently boasts, “Why ‘Barbie’ Matters for the Church.” Indeed, amidst centuries of church history, doctrinal councils, and rigorous biblical exegesis, it seems we’ve inadvertently overlooked the profound spiritual insights that might be gleaned from Hollywood’s take on our favorite plastic protagonist. A remarkable oversight, truly. How did Augustine or Luther, the Apostle Paul, or even Jesus Himself, miss that? Continue reading
“For those who might be in shock at the level of degeneracy unfolding in our current culture, this is a dude who dresses like a lady telling young children how to dress up like a fictional female mouse. If you look up “insanity” in the dictionary, there should be a link to this video. No other explanation is needed.”
“The smartphone has done grave damage to the news industry. Attention spans are much shorter, rank propaganda all over the device, and folks can build their own internet bubble. Cell phone addiction is the enemy of responsible citizenry.”
“PEPFAR is nothing but another perpetual government waste program, so why should a generation of Americans Christians be rallied to the cause, especially one that was sold through hyperbolic alarmism?”
(Revolver) There is so much controversy, coverup, and conspiracy surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine. So much that sometimes it’s hard to keep up with what’s fact or fiction. But one hearing that was recently held down under in Australia might be the key to unlocking many of the mysteries about the jab. We’re learning that many elites took a different “jab” than the rest of us. That’s the bombshell that came out of a heated hearing where Aussie senators grilled Pfizer employees who eventually admitted that they took a “special” batch of the vaccine that was not available to the rest of the public.
“Nancy Mace is part of the problem: she was one of several Republicans to vote last year for the Respect for Marriage Act, a law which codifies Obergefell into federal law, and is one of the most liberal voices in the Republican caucus on abortion.”
“Prosecutor’s evidence trail in Hunter Biden case directly contradicts claims made by President for years.”
12 So teach us to number our days,
That we may present to You a heart of wisdom. Psalms 90:12 (LSB) 
Need to read articles you may have missed this week…
“…we recall the compelling example of Elijah’s encounter with the prophets of Baal. With righteous indignation and confident trust in the God of Israel, Elijah could have ignored them and left them to their own devices. Instead, he mocked these false prophets. He did not ignore them, he engaged and confronted them. His stand against this evil is a clear illustration of how these modern-day Pharisees—false teachers, progressive Christians, social justice activists—must be faced. Their mouths must be stopped…”
(Robert A. J. Gagnon) A FB friend has notified me that he is no longer in “the same theological space or belief” on the issue of homosexual practice. This is what I have written to him:
“Increasingly we are being vindicated. Barely a day goes by when we do not learn even more about just how wrong so much of the ‘science’ was, how dictatorial and totalitarian our governments were, and how much medical fascism was allowed to take place.”
“The most chilling facet of this situation is that the clinic is more than willing to hand Barbera a potential death sentence over a difference of opinion. The second-most chilling facet is that this situation was not created as a result of a law, policy, or practice of a federal, state, or municipal agency. This was done at the discretion of the Oregon Health Science University, which did not like Barbera’s views on gender.”
(Newsmax) Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson told 
(Breitbart) The Biden brand is an “abuse of soft power,” Devon Archer told Tucker Carlson during an interview released Wednesday on Twitter.
“To fear the Lord means to walk in His ways, love Him, serve Him wholeheartedly, and obey Him (Deut. 10:12-13). But apart from Christ this is impossible.” 
Chris Hodges makes the mistake of being nicer than God, and this is reflected in his professed statement that “God is a blesser” and that “God doesn’t damn anything.”
“I’d do it all over again if it gives me an opportunity to share the good news and rescue innocent children being sexualized by their parents. God will use it for good. We will stand for truth even if we stand alone.”
“Other items like gas furnaces, AC units, washing machines and refrigerators have also come under DOE scrutiny, all in the name of “energy efficiency” and combating climate change.”
(MinistryWatch) Below is a list of the largest media ministries in the country.
“The other problem with Fox is that the place is filled with leftists, from the executive suite to the producers to the cameramen. They have a few conservative frontmen.”
“The movement suggests that wealthy nations should cut back on their prosperity for the sake of ‘ecological justice’. This is a slippery slope that aligns more with the redistributive agenda of Marxism than with biblical principles.”
