(Joe Boot – Clear Truth Media) The man who is content to sit ignorantly by his own fireside, wrapped up in his own private affairs, and has no public eye for what is going on in the Church and the world, is a miserable patriot, and a poor style of Christian. Next to our Bibles and our own hearts, our Lord would have us study our own times. – J. C. Ryle
Every age of the church has people happy to stay ignorant. They will sit by their firesides, or these days in front of their screens, unwilling to bother with careful Christian thinking about culture and what that would actually require of them as believers in the world. Continue reading
“Greear’s entire sermon was constructed to soften the perception of homosexuality by lumping it together with other, less shocking sins. Sure, homosexuality is sin, Greear concedes, but so is greed, so is pride, so is lying—so why not stop making such a big deal out of it? Why not downplay its severity so we can win a few more brownie points with the secular culture?”
(Douglas Andrews – The Patriot Post) Elon Musk is one guy. Let’s remember that.
17 also receive THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
18 praying at all times with all prayer and petition in the Spirit, and to this end, being on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, 19 as well as on my behalf, that words may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel— 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains—so that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. Ephesians 6:17-20 (LSB) 
“Perhaps the biggest “tell” about Kamala is that she believes all Americans should be in “an equal place.” She said that at a Democratic Party event on September 30, 2022. Of course, that’s precisely what Stalin, Mao, Castro, and Xi spout. And it is preposterous because every human being is different, some far more capable than others.”
“All the hate and vitriol towards half the country comes from one party and their media. their alliances with the globalists who sit in organizations like the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, the World Bank, etc. should terrify us.”
(Newsmax) Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reiterated the U.S. commitment to “take every possible step to defend Israel” on Sunday, in the seventh call with his Israeli counterpart, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, in recent weeks.

“On July 8, President Joe Biden upped the ante by telling Democrat donors, “It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”… A mere five days later at Trump’s Pennsylvania rally, a young gunman who somehow gained access to an unsecured rooftop with a direct line of sight to his target less than 150 yards away, got off eight shots – right under the noses of the Secret Service – that missed killing the Republican candidate by the thinnest of margins…”
“Yes, American Evangelicalism does have a few Leftist snakes in the grass. They’re passive-aggressive, they gaslight, they sneer, they deflect. Everything they do is designed to give them plausible deniability. They can do this because that’s all they need to do….Their only job is to ridicule the people who are waking up to it…”
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 (LSB) 
“Family, friends, food – these are all good things. And yet they cannot be the ultimate source of our joy. It must go deeper than that, and because of God’s mercy, He has given us the true reservoir or joy. It is in Him. Trials, because of their very nature, threaten our temporal sources of joy, and therefore give us an opportunity to clarify to ourselves where our ultimate joy lies.”
“Catechesis is about teaching the fundamentals of the faith. It is simple but not simplistic, thoughtful but not arcane, practical but not pragmatic. It focuses less on speculative aspects of theology or ‘hot topics’ and more on providing the basic categories in which Christianity is understood and lived. It provides us the grammar to speak to God and neighbor in a genuinely Christian way.”
“Flaherty said “misinformation narratives” include “conversation online about corruption or mental fitness…or [Biden’s] record on the Crime Bill”—effectively defining “misinformation” as anything that the Biden team found inconvenient.”
“For years, I have expressed alarm at the special treatment afforded to Hunter Biden on the charges. Many of us have also criticized Weiss for allowing the most serious tax charges to expire despite being able to extend the statute of limitations. He has yet to offer a compelling reason why prosecutors would ever allow viable felony charges to expire when they could have extended that period.”
“The difference between most modern-day ‘gospel’ preaching and the apostles’ was that theirs actually took some guts. Indeed, the words ‘bold’ or ‘boldness’ are found 13 times in Acts, each time referring to speaking to people. And it is a trait that is markedly absent from the church today.”
(Sean Fleetwood – The Federalist) As part of their embarrassing smear campaign against Republicans worried about the integrity of America’s elections, legacy media have twisted themselves into pretzels trying to convince the country that foreign nationals interfering in the U.S. electoral system is a nonexistent problem.

(Gateway Pundit) A hearing will take place this morning in Georgia to discuss the corrupt acts that occurred in Fulton County in the 2020 Election.
“Basham’s book has blown the whistle – not for progressives in mainline churches waving trans flags – but for traditional evangelicals discovering they’ve been the frogs in progressive evangelicalism’s slow boil. These churchgoers thought their leaders were stomping on the cultural brakes as the country careened towards the socialist cliff, but now see that not only are many leaders not braking, they are actually stepping on the gas.”
Jacqui Lews, promoted by Jemar Tisby, says the reason Christians care about homosexuality but not eating pork is because there is a lot of money in pork. She says Jesus and the Jews were “not obsessed with the bedroom.”
