Let’s reintroduce Christ to our culture
This article intrigued me. Of course, it threw me off initially, but I’m used to “church” a certain way. Really… what are we used to when it comes to “church?” What I’m blown away with when I ready the New Testament is this: God isn’t bothered by small beginnings. Acts 19 is probably my favorite chapter in Acts. There was…

The gift of SEEING
David Brooks wrote a long piece (HERE) well worth your time. Three Jewish women and how they chose to live differently in the face of Nazism and death. Not just differently, but in a very radical way. All three were impacted by the gospel and followed Jesus.

Antisemitism and the fallacy of “free speech”

The further abuses of our false “national religion”
The Party of Trump… excuse me, the “Republican Party”… debate last week was only something that was worth watching clips that were entirely predictable.

This podcast with David French really needs your attention. I know those who don’t claim to be Christian Nationalists (and are) and those who are bold enough to SAY they are Christian Nationalists (with their alternative meaning) won’t take the time. My appeal is fellow believers who are about my age and are tired of speaking out.
