“When I was a younger man, I tended to skim over imprecatory Psalms because I felt like I couldn’t identify with them. After all, I didn’t have any real “enemies” in 2009. The secular college students around me were just “misinformed.” If anything, I internally felt like they didn’t quite fit with the rest of the Bible. But God has a way of orchestrating things so that His Word makes perfect sense.”
(David Harris – TruthScript) Yesterday afternoon, while preparing to administer a quiz at one of the Tennessee schools where I work, my phone began to buzz incessantly. With a glance at my notifications, I experienced immediate deja vu, remembering all the buzzing that my phone received the evening of July 13, 2024, after President Trump was nearly assassinated at Butler, PA. Charlie Kirk had been shot at a campus event in Utah. Over the next hour, I stole glances at my phone, begging God to speed up the class so I could find out what was going on. Continue reading
“Charlie was the kind of man we should all aspire to be… a stand-up guy who treated everyone with respect. And that’s exactly why they assassinated him: because he calmly, peacefully, and honestly spoke the truth. The truth about transgenderism, about abortion, about the left, about Jesus Christ, and about Donald Trump. And that’s exactly why that bullet wasn’t just aimed at Charlie… it was aimed at the very idea that America can resolve its differences with kindness, respect, and peaceful disagreement.”
12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13 But evil men and impostors will advance from bad to worse, misleading and being mislead. 2 Timothy 3:12-13 (translated from the NA28 Greek text to English) 
CHARLIE HAS DIED. UPDATES BELOW
“From my role in the Trump administration, I can also affirm that President Trump believes deeply in faith-based diplomacy. This is why he created the White House Faith Office and launched a task force to eradicate anti-Christian bias and other religious biases. And he continues to advocate for religious freedom across the globe.”
This theological framework didn’t come out of nowhere. They have all been heavily influenced by John Piper-esque “hedonism” theology and this is the rotten fruit of his theological orchard. Piper has long baptized what he calls “Christian Hedonism,” but in practice it is little more than a re-packaged asceticism—a system where glory is found not in the joy of obedience to Christ, but in manufacturing elaborate ways to “suffer for the gospel.”
“The hard sell on Biden’s economy was really over the top. Paul Krugman hadn’t yet retired from The New York Times and was constantly churning out columns that all essentially boiled down to: Pay no attention to your financial struggles, you’re just too stupid to know how well this economy is doing. Variations on that theme were echoed throughout the MSM.” 
(Jon Harris – TruthScript) It is hard to describe the overwhelming anger and sadness I felt the first time I saw the video of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska’s 
“Instead of addressing the reality—that attaching God’s name to an industry that celebrates sexual perversion profanes His glory—they smear the church with the world’s favorite insult. Racism. They cannot answer the charge of compromise, so they cry foul and demand silence. Of course, these clowns parade under the banner of Christ while spitting in His face….”
(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) After explosions in Doha Tuesday, the capital city of Qatar, the Isreali Defense Forces and Israeli Security Agency confirmed strikes were carried out on Hamas leadership being harbored in the country.
“Keller’s family life went viral over the weekend, and so did Joel Webbon. While I had known that Webbon had a communist brother, according to him, many, including myself, were unaware that his brother is also a tranny.”
“These events are sponsored by Jonathan’s Tent, a pro-LGBTQ activist group dedicated to advocating for full acceptance, inclusion, and celebration of LGBTQ Catholics in the life of the Church. The group is named “Jonathan’s Tent” because they believe Jonathan and David had a homosexual relationship.” 
“Paul was not canonizing ignorance in this passage, he was detonating it with a command to repent and believe, or else!”
(Bill Muehlenberg – Culture Watch) I read the opening chapters of Ezekiel again this morning, and when I walked my dog afterwards, I prayed that I would have the experience that Ezekiel had. Let me explain. In chapter 1 we read about Ezekiel’s encounter with the glory of the Lord.
“They’re creating a hoax, just like they did with the Russian dossier, because they think it’s going to somehow be mud thrown on him. It’s not. He has no culpability in this thing at all. The president has clean hands. He wants all the records out. He has told me that himself.”
“If stating the fact that a man cannot be a woman is understood to be violence or terrorism, then your country is not living in reality, is not free, and is on the path to destruction. The UK seems to have gone through the Lewis Carol looking glass and is following the same path of confusion and backwards ‘logic’ into which Alice stumbled.”
“Notice how this story has died quickly ever since Westman was identified as transgender and anti-Trump. The shooter hated everyone, but there was nothing the media could use to attack conservatives. Instead, we’ve seen the media play games, like not knowing what the motive was.”
“The expectation that autopen would handle Biden’s pardons and commutations says everything about how his White House operated and raises legitimate questions about who was really running the country. Staffers routinely mechanically applied Biden’s signature to legal documents, and now we know his own counsel admitted he never actually reviewed what he was supposedly signing.”
Throughout the hearing, Democrats shouted at Kennedy and interrupted him, refusing to allow him to answer their questions even as they made incendiary accusations that he was “corrupt” and a “charlatan.”
“More Democrats have positive views of socialism (67 percent) than capitalism (50 percent). Strong liberals lead the way with 82 percent having favorable views of socialism compared to 28 percent who feel positive toward capitalism. Among Americans under 30, 62 percent feel favorable toward socialism, and 50 percent feel favorable toward capitalism.”
“The same man who once swore allegiance to the Lamb has now pledged allegiance to his flesh. After divorcing his wife of 33 years and announcing in 2008 that he was a homosexual, Boltz retreated into silence for a long time. But now, somewhere on a beach, maybe in Florida, we don’t know, that silence was broken—not with repentance, but with vows.”
