Those classic 80s kids’ movies that you remember so fondly? Turns out they aren’t kid movies at all – woah!
There’s a strange blessing that comes with understanding stuff was wacky back in the day too (Eccl. 7:10). We can remember how God was with us in the middle of that craziness, and be reassured that He’s able to sustain us in today’s clown world too.

Brits take Canada to task for state-sanctioned suicide (10 min read)
This is a really good summary of how Canada has flung itself down the slippery slope, offering death as the medical treatment for more and more conditions. And while this is a secular article, they almost get to the root of it: they recognize that autonomy is a lie, and death isn’t medicine.

While we often hear about supposed downsides to fossil fuel usage, we rarely get the upside. But if we aren’t taking that into consideration, then we aren’t really counting the cost (Luke 14:28-30) of going “carbon free.”
This is a secular presentation but it presents the other side of the argument that we most often don’t hear but need to (Prov. 18:17).
