Broken Window Fallacy explains what government gets wrong

Politicians can always point to the results of their spending. But what we don’t see is what would have happened with that same money if they hadn’t taken it from businesses and families and individuals in the first place. The jobs we would have created are unseen, because those jobs didn’t happen – the government didn’t let them happen.

So any time a government brags about creating jobs, it’s akin to a company bragging about its revenue while refusing to account for its costs (Prov. 18:17).

Beast Games: family fun or mammon worship?

A bit of a late warning, but if you haven’t already checked it out, here’s why you shouldn’t bother.

How murderous are you when even the UN says, “Whoah now, that’s enough”?

Canada has murdered its millions – nearly 100,000 unborn babies a year for decades now – and that’s nothing compared to what the United Nations (UN) is responsible for due to their own promotion of abortion worldwide. But when it comes to euthanasia, even the UN is shocked at what Canada has been up to, in looking to expand it to the mentally ill too.

Trump goes 0 for 3 on trade knowledge

The Fraser Institute with one way Trump’s tariff rhetoric contradicts itself, and a couple ways that his tariffs will hurt not just Canada, but the US too.

The government is handing out more money to the media

…but why aren’t we hearing about it? Maybe it’s because we know that typically he who pays the piper calls the tune – this is media being bought and paid for. That’s why The Hub is donating the $22,000 they’ve received so far to charity.

(And no, Reformed Perspective wasn’t sent any of this cash.)

Defending the unborn as Christians (10 min)

What does it look like to defend the unborn as an unabashed, God-glorifying Christian? It means starting with God, and then stacking the science, the logic, the biological reality, all atop that firm foundation of our Lord.

Jeff Durbin shows us how it is done.

Propaganda techniques (10 minutes) This 1948 or 1949 movie highlights seven different propaganda techniques, and to be forewarned about them is to be forearmed. This could be great for a high school English class. Click the title above for the full 10-minute color presentation, or watch a 7-minute B&W abridgment below. News or narrative – when the truth-tellers can't be trusted What with images and video that can be faked so quickly and so skillfully, the biggest problem with our news consumption might be the speed at which we imbibe. When we just hit headlines, or read whoever the algorithm puts in front of us, we can't know if they are trustworthy – we can't know that this is true. So... slow down. The slippery slope of theistic Darwinism Howard Van Till was a physics professor at Calvin College who used to be "the pre-eminent example of an evangelical Christian scientist in the 1990s who defended Darwinian evolution." Until he stopped being Christian. Or even a theist. Doctor Google, influencer moms, and the local Church "I recently saw some Christian influencers offer a course on marriage, though they had been married for less than two years. They had paltry experience and undoubtedly little wisdom, but they did have a big platform. And many were eager to learn from them. God has carefully constructed his church so that, as much as we may benefit from those who are far off, we are likely to find the greatest and most credible help nearby. Your church has many seasoned saints who have spent their whole lives following the Lord and whose godliness is on display each and every time the church gathers." - Tim Challies A mid-life assessment A pastor's wife discovers with age comes new: "...temptations to impatience, ungraciousness, pride. This had surprised me then, but I now see this is true not just in ministry. I used to imagine I’d have to fight the same besetting sins my whole life, and while some old struggles still remain, I’ve found I need to also be vigilant for new ones."
