State of Washington recently passed law requiring those knowing of child abuse to report this to civil authorities. Roman Catholic priests receiving confessions were given no exemption. Archdiocese of Seattle warned any priest who complies that he will be excommunicated.
We, the people, are pleased to bear any hurt your discipline may cause. We have long been unutterably weary of your consistent antagonism to the Christian faith, as well as your fervid hostility to morality and truth and justice. Start with the genocide of baby-slaughter which, for decades, you have never stop serving as shills.
You have fully earned this discipline. You have betrayed the public’s trust. May God lead you to repent of all your wickedness. Many will have preceded you fleeing to His Cross.
Marriage is difficult. Chesterton said it’s not whether it will be a quarrel, but whether it can be kept a lover’s quarrel. Dad would remind us of a friend walking into John Wesley’s home and finding him kneeling on the floor with his wife standing over him w/his hair grasped in her hand.

So forgive them with joy! This is the Christian life.
This is Pastor David Crum. We’re at our mutual grandson, Daniel Crum’s, high school graduation party.
Newly called to a church at war with one another, I needed a Marine next to me who would stand firm. We called David and I had the privilege of a Battle of Huế Purple Heart at my side.
If you know the President or Mr. Musk, tell them to grow up. We all think our fights aren’t about ourselves, but principles. In this case, the whole world knew from beginning there wasn’t room enough inside Beltway for both these men.
If dilution is the solution to pollution, Evangelical Bible publishers have done a great job diluting our culture’s androgyny. Deleting thousands of words with male components God Himself inspired, neutering is so ubiquitous across pages of our Bibles, no one notices.
What is a positive response to our churches polluted by neutered Bibles in the pews and pulpit?
Petition for a congregational meeting to vote on removing and banishing them. You don’t want your children feeding on Bibles that have been poisoned.
