American Elites should be aware our nation has many God-fearers who hate your Evil Empire for the terrible wickedness it presides over and enforces.
History tells us Common Sense bearing arms may return. American Elites should be aware our nation has many God-fearers who hate your Evil Empire for the terrible wickedness it presides over and enforces.

Faithful pursuit of the Kingdom of God through courage, zeal, prayer, obedience, worship, witness, and suffering is not incompatible with waiting on the Lord. They require it.

Understand actions of a national body of baptists, congregationalists, or presbyterians are merely for show. What matters is church discipline, but the PCA never disciplines anyone.

If Scripture is forevermore warning against false prophets and hirelings within the church, it’s important to heed those warnings and judge. Don’t be censorious, but test the spirits starting w/your own.

Joseph’s dreams. Imagine being his brother. Imagine being his father. His father kept them in mind. His brothers tried to put his dreams to death.
When Isaac mourned Joseph’s “death,” what was his conclusion abt Joseph’s dreams?
One thing wonderfully clear: God is Sovereign.

From Pres Biden’s interview w/George Stephanopoulos: “Look, I mean, if the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get out of the race,’ I’ll get out of the race.” He added, “The Lord Almighty’s not coming down.”
Speaking this way, a man should tremble.

J. D. Vance would be a stroke of genius for VP, but I fear a man of bad conscience will go for a woman. A woman is less threatening. More compliant.
Better optics if VP Harris replaces Pres Biden.
Tom Smedley commented above, under the Joseph post, and kindly granted me permission to promote his post here:
A band of bearded nomads in stinking woolen robes sweats under the Egyptian sun. They are trying to convince the austere Egyptian magistrate to let them, and their families, live. The great man is clean-shaven and comfortable in his linen kilt. The conversation takes place through an interpreter, of course, since how could this noble officer of the world’s greatest power know the barbarous babble of these savages from the back end of nowhere?
Tension mounts, and the supplicants realize that it’s payback time for the time they betrayed one of their relatives. Karma’s a bitch, right?
At this point, the implacable magistrate loses his composure, stands to his feet, and barks out an terse command. The room empties of all the accountants, flunkies, AND the translator. The Egyptian turns to the nomads as says …
“I AM JOSEPH. Does my father yet live?”
As Dorothy Sayers pointed out, compare the story of Joseph to that of Oedipus Rex, and ask yourself: which worldview has unexpected light breaking forth? And which is filled with gloom and foreboding?

With our Monroe County courts and government shut down for the past week, Indiana Department of Local Government Finance released a “cyber threat advisory":
“An Indiana local government office experienced a cybersecurity attack that utilized BlackSuit ransomware and may be linked to the Royal Spider cybercriminal organization, which operates from the Russian Federation.”

I was wrong. Apparently, J. D. Vance is another bloodluster x.com
Honestly, when will Republicans ever get it that Christians abhor baby killing? Because God commanded, “Thou shalt not murder.”
Doesn’t matter if it is very new or very old life. God commands, “Thou shalt not murder.”
Wake up, J. D. Vance and Pres Trump!

Christians are Christians.
We are not postmillennialists or theonomists or Christian Nationalists.
Jesus Christ is our Lord and He is the King of Kings.
Go ahead and censor us. Imprison us. Shoot us. Bury us.
We will never be silent. Flee His Father’s wrath. He will have mercy on those who kiss His Son.
Jesus.

What should we make then, of Project 2025?
Project 2025 - Wikipedia
Project 2025 | Presidential Transition Project
It’s another political action committee, this one originating with Heritage Foundation but broadly inclusive of many conservative organizations. Of course any conservative group is going to wrap itself in conservative religion/Christendom, whether Falwell or Moscow or Reed or Rockford Institute or Heritage or Germany’s Christian Nationalism… And all these groups will appeal to and appease lower class “rabble” or “deplorables” just as Adams/Jefferson/Madison/Hamilton worked hard to appeal to and appease the artisans/women/mechanics/agrarians of their time. It’s what political reform and revolution are built on—appealing to and appeasing the great unwashed.
In our American Revolution, there were men like Adams and Hamilton who wanted the elite to rule as they had in England, but slightly changed, and those like Jefferson who wanted to go less Whigish and loosen the reigns on the non-elite more, but they were all religious or “Christian.” So all the hype abt Project 2025 being “authoritarian” and “Christian” Nationalism is hooey. To the wicked secularists of our day, Christianity is the Great Enemy because it speaks of authority above the mind and education. That freaks them out.
As to whether, if Pres Trump is reelected, they are able to tear down the wall of America’s ruling elite’s security state/corporate media/big tech/higher ed, I do hope so. But no, their goal is not to make President Trump king. Rather I’m guessing their goal is to use the executive branch to undo all the damage done by the executive branch for many decades. My take. Love,

This is what freaked the Romans out, not that Christians claimed Jesus is Lord, but that Christians actually believed it. And that Christians believed it to death.

Christians should think carefully abt debate between representative & direct democracy, and if we believe in any authority except God’s?
Present millenarian ethos is libertarian/direct democracy—each man doing what’s right in his own eyes.
