The wrong folk think God, the Bible, and Christianity are relevant in the political sphere
After Trump was shot, a picture circulated showing Christ with a bandage on his ear – they were equating Trump with the Son of God, and that wasn’t the first time either! On the Left, California governor Gavin Newsom’s campaign paid for billboards to run in Mississippi that read “Need an abortion? California is ready to help” and underneath were the words from Mark 12:31: “Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment than these.”
In the clip below you’ll see 50 preachers who are taking their talking points from the Kamala Harris campaign, preaching to their congregations that they need to support one of the most pro-abortion candidates ever.
This isn’t a reason to keep religion out of politics. It is a reason for God’s people to speak up more, lest we abandon the public square to blasphemous pseudo-Christians.
SUPERCUT: The week after Biden dropped out of the presidential race, I found over 50 churches hyping Kamala Harris during their worship services, clearly using shared talking points.
Here we see some of them sharing the good news of the Vice President’s fundraising numbers: pic.twitter.com/Z7BPr8x6VZ

How long pets live
Parents, if your kids are asking you for a giant tortoise, just say no! They might not eat all that much, and be easy to keep up with, but getting one for your family is a commitment that could last 300 years!
To find a pet that won’t outlast your children’s children, click on the link above for a very helpful chart.
Conspiracy fact: there really is a brilliant malevolent force working behind the scenes
Peter Mead writes on how Christians are “inclined to bury our heads in the sand regarding evil in this world.” We’ll affirm Satan is real but won’t acknowledge his work “in almost every layer of human influence and authority.”
And the problem with overlooking our spiritual adversary is that we’re liable to miss the spiritual nature of the battle we’re in – it’s all about God’s glory. The Devil would love it if he could get the world to follow their feelings, but he’d also enjoy everyone submitting to an objective reality so long as they do so without holding to God as the Author and Creator of it. When we mistake the battle we’re in for some sort of merely political or cultural one, then we’ll defend it as such, never mentioning God and robbing Him of the glory that is His due… which is the end the Devil was after in the first place.
The curious case of the Christian Reformed Church (10 minute read)
“‘How many denominations have gone this far down the road toward theological liberalism and then put on the brakes in a significant way?’ Monroe asked. None.”
This is a longer piece, but a fantastic overview of the liberal and orthodox twists and turns that have happened in the CRC denomination over the last 40 years, and in particular the last half dozen. On the brink of plunging into all sorts of sexual perversion, the CRC seems to be solidly reversing course. Praise God!
Green Greenland was good
A headline from the New Scientist this month read, “Fossils show Greenland was once ice-free – and could be again.” That has some rather big implications for our climate change catastrophists who hold that it is a crisis for the Earth to be warmer.
A shovel dance? (3 min)
I’m not going to bother mentioning the title of the old Western this comes from because this is the best scene in it.
And boy is it good!
