(Mark Hogan) The tornado of the “next big thing” is always swirling around us. There is always another program to practice, another conference to attend, another podcast to listen to, another book to read (or write!). There is always something someone is convincing us we need to be doing.
It is the tyranny of the next big thing and it is simply exhausting to keep up, isn’t it?
In such a culture, it is highly likely that we are doing so many things that we end up doing nothing well…. Continue reading

(Mary Dowling) We should never allow the government to pay off news outlets ever again. President Trump just signed an Executive Order ending funding for NPR and PBS. The following gives you some insight as to why.
“Sadly far too many megachurch and megachurch-adjacent pastors, whether they be connected with the Andy Stanley-style attractional movement, TGC, Acts29, or many other organizations, are cowards. That’s not to say all of them. But far too many. And according to Revelation 21, cowardice is a damnable sin.”
“Under federal judicial guidelines, judges are supposed to recuse themselves if their impartiality could reasonably be questioned or if their spouse has a financial interest tied to the case. In Judge Thurston’s situation, actually both rules apply.”
“In his famous ‘Farewell Address,’ Washington reminded Americans that religious teachings and values must never be removed from politics and public policy…
“Ordinarily, when someone’s behind the wheel of a car crammed with illegal migrants, carrying a wad of cash, and driving on a bogus license, that should set off every alarm bell. But under Biden’s ICE, that wasn’t enough to warrant action. They never even bothered to pick him up. He was promptly back on the street.”
(Paul Schlehlein – Between Two Cultures) Answer: God’s anger upon his children is temporary, while His wrath up His enemies will carry on forever.
Trump introduced January Littlejohn at congressional address, called school district’s treatment of her daughter “child abuse.” Full appeals court called upon to fix panel’s Frankenstein ruling on behavior that “shocks the conscience.”
(Elizabeth Weibel – Breitbart) A federal judge ordered that the suspect behind the firebombing of a Tesla dealership in Kansas City, Missouri, be released from federal custody ahead of his upcoming court date.
(Revolver) While America was getting crushed by a wide-open border, skyrocketing crime, and runaway inflation, the Biden administration was laser-focused on one thing: censoring American citizens who didn’t fall in line with the progressive agenda.
“Tolerating this kind of foreign sectarianism is national suicide, as anyone can easily observe in Scotland and England, which are now on a probably irreversible trajectory toward civil war. We in America should pay attention because the same thing is happening here, albeit on a smaller scale.”
“So much of what Trump is trying to do for the betterment of the country is being slowed down by judicial hissy fits that are being thrown by corrupt perverters of the law. There isn’t a murderer or rapist they won’t defend if it can trip up the Trump 47 agenda.” 
Firefly’s report listed several instances when ministry leaders tried to confront Brown, but he didn’t give consistent and full confessions. Firefly reported Brown showed a “calculated effort to evade accountability, suppress the allegations, and protect his ministry’s reputation.”
(Jordan Standridge – The Cripplegate) Pope Francis is dead.
“What can Christ’s congregations do to ameliorate this situation? How can the pockets of paganism be purged? First, the church’s leaders must recognize that a problem exists. Second, they must recognize embedded paganism cannot be remedied by a retreat, conference, rebrand, or other quick fix. Rather, leaders must implement strategies and tactics that supplant paganism with the beauty of orthodoxy. Here are some ways of doing so.”
If you watch the Rogan/Musk video be prepared for salty language. 
“Will the new pope follow Pope Francis in these positions that lead to civilizational suicide, or chart a new path?” 
“I fear we are approaching an environment — if we’re not already there — where malpractice masquerades as virtuous health care. Picture a physician so bound by ideology he cannot explore the roots of gender dysphoria, instead pushing a child toward irreversible surgery to affirm gender; too fearful of being labeled “fatphobic” to warn an obese patient about heart failure; or so steeped in anti-racist dogma that a critically ill white male is deprioritized to favor a less urgent case for a black female patient.”
“The @nytimes story on the January DC plane crash hides its takeaway until the last sentences: the lady helicopter pilot ignored multiple warnings from her right seat about altitude (and his directly telling her to turn away) and flew straight into a passenger jet. The end. Ugh.” – Alex Berenson 
“Even the greatest charlatans don’t work alone. Steven Furtick was the adoring apprentice, the eager mimic, the dollar-store knockoff of Jakes’ ministry of self. Together, they didn’t so much shepherd the flock as they fleeced it, turning churches into circuses where the name of Jesus was a marketing slogan and the offering plate the main attraction.”
