Imagine how worthless the Resurrection would be if Jesus said, "See, that's how you do it, now you try."

Pratt is exactly what American cities need. Locals who love their city and who are hyper-focused on solutions, not their own political ambitions. He would serve like a small town mayor running the nation's second largest city. At the very least let's have a 4 year experiment

Everyone is trying to claim me for their tribe. There’s no R next to my name, there’s no D next to my name. I’m not part of a political party, because I hate politicians. I’m just Spencer, husband to Heidi, father to Ryker and Gunner, and I’m a pissed off Angeleno who loves my city and is fed up with what corrupt politicians have done to her.

Poway is a "Tree City" which means we have extra regulations which preserve, protect, and plant more trees than our neighboring cities. More trees = more birds. More birds = more consideration of God's provision.
God is good and what he has created is good and beautiful.

President Trump has routinely posted disrespectful, insensitive, and offensive things over the years. That doesn't make it ok. This is so gross from my Senator.
We need to demand better.

My thoughts go out to Tulsi Gabbard and her family, as her husband battles this serious health problem. I hope and pray that he makes a speedy and full recovery. While the circumstances around her departure are deserving of our sympathy, let’s be clear: Tulsi Gabbard’s only positive contribution to our nation's national security is her resignation. She politicized intelligence. She dismantled critical agencies keeping Americans safe. She weaponized the IC to pursue baseless election fraud claims. And more. We must ensure that her tenure — marked by a devotion to the person of the president and not to the security of the country — represents a terrible exception at DNI and not the new normal.

Why does California have so many homeless addicts? Because our tax dollars are funneled into NGO's whose entire existence depends on perpetuating a "customer" base.
The incentives are entirely on keeping people strung out on the streets. There's no benefit in actual help.

Updates on the L.A. man the Feds arrested yesterday for allegedly selling Fentanyl at MacArthur Park while being linked to PATH, a heavily government-funded non-profit that aims to help homeless addicts and, the Feds claim, participates in distributing needles at the same park. PATH reported $63 million in salaries last year and $10 million in cash. The federal indictment charging Christoper Johnson with distributing fentanyl says PATH “serves as a vendor in distributing syringes in the MacArthur Park area.” The DOJ is standing by its wording and subpoenaed Christopher Johnson’s work records. PATH gave me an original statement yesterday saying it does not provide syringe exchange programs and maintains Christopher Johnson's employment ended with them last September. In an updated statement, PATH now says Johnson worked for them in a zone adjacent to MacArthur Park where they do have a limited “harm reduction” contract with L.A. County which “includes information on overdoses, clean syringes and containers, Narcan, fentanyl testing strips, safe sex kits, and connections to substance use treatment programs.” PATH says Johnson “should not have been in MacArthur Park for his work duties and we have not offered syringe exchange services there ever.”

Sin's evolution:
"It's my choice"
"It's my rights"
"It's a necessity"
"It's my identity"
Christ's redemption:
"Follow me"
"Take up your cross"
"You will never thirst again"
"You are a new creation"

Reporter: Are you attending your son’s wedding? Trump: He’d like me to go. I’m going to try. I said, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. He’s a person I’ve known for a long time.

This is insane. Glad that he received a favorable verdict, but awful that he had to go through this

Larry Bushart spent 37 days in jail for posting a meme on Facebook. I’ve been doing this work for 25 years, and I can honestly say this is the worst First Amendment case I’ve ever seen. Not because Larry threatened anyone. He didn’t. Not because he committed violence. He didn’t. Not because this was a close call. It wasn’t. He posted a political meme — the kind of thing millions of Americans do every day — and local officials decided to treat it like a crime. And because they had badges, prosecutors, jail cells, and the terrifying machinery of the state behind them, they got away with it for 37 days. Larry is a retired police officer and National Guard veteran. The meme he shared quoted Donald Trump’s “we have to get over it” comment after a 2024 Iowa school shooting. Whatever you think of Trump, the meme was plainly political commentary. Perry County officials knew what it referred to. They knew it wasn’t a threat against a Tennessee school. They arrested him anyway. In the middle of the night. They set his bond at $2 million. He lost his job. He missed family milestones. He sat in jail for more than a month before the charges finally collapsed — because, of course, there was no crime here. Today, @theFIREorg secured a measure of justice: Perry County agreed to pay Larry Bushart $835,000 for violating his constitutional rights. This case should scare the hell out of people across the political spectrum. Because if the government can jail you for a meme by pretending not to understand obvious political commentary, your rights are only as secure as the good faith of the most authoritarian official in your town. That is exactly why we have the First Amendment. Not for speech everyone likes. Not for opinions that flatter the powerful. Not for the bland, safe, committee-approved stuff. It exists for moments when fear, outrage, politics, and authority all line up and say: “Surely this is the exception.” No. It isn’t. I’m incredibly proud of @theFIREorg’s legal team. And I’m even prouder of Larry Bushart for refusing to let the government get away with treating his constitutional rights like a suggestion. But despite the correct verdict, I'll probably always get angry every time I think of this case. Let’s make this the last time anyone in America is arrested — let alone thrown in jail — for a meme. Celebrate your independence. Defend your First Amendment. fire.org/news/victory-t…

No matter how someone attempts to rationalize it, there can be no moral compass unless one has a God who has established it.
The north of "human rights" depends on a God who has made man in his image.
The north of "value" depends on a God who has purpose for his creation.

This Nihilism is the evil result of years of demonic activity that has eroded the foundations of truth, goodness, and beauty which our founding fathers sought to codify.
Using God-given freedoms to promote godlessness harms everyone.
Real freedom can only be found in God.

“Nihilistic violent extremism” might sound like jargon but it’s a very real threat. Teenagers are getting radicalized online every single day- case in point the San Diego attackers- thanks to websites that spur violence unchecked. Read this @cbsnews piece to see how urgent an issue this is: cbsnews.com/news/san-diego…

Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless shame we bear
All because we do not carry

The only foolishness greater than denying the existence of God and his glory is the heinous sin of misattributing his works and his presence to that which he created.

Steven Spielberg: “I believe the cosmos is teeming with life… Is that life currently interacting with us?” “When I made Close Encounters I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if this could come true?’ With everything that’s happened from 1977 til today, I can now make Disclosure Day and say — ‘Isn’t it going to be wonderful when people realize after seeing this movie that everything is true, and has been true?’”

At our most basic level all of our relationship problems flow from our decision to talk *about* rather than talk *with* another.
Spouse, child, friend, neighbor, stranger, etc. talking *with* is the key to growing the connection, talking *about* erodes and eventually destroys.

Agreed. The societal shift from an innocence/guilt into an honor/shame culture effectively enslaved young men via an emasculating process. This isn't new! Ancient Babylon did this to Daniel. Rule them by persuading them they have no identity other than what the state gives.

An @NPR piece this week diagnosed "the missing men of the American marriage market." Their answer: the labor market failed them. You can hand a 24-year-old man a $70,000 HVAC paycheck tomorrow. If the surrounding culture still tells him he is the problem, he is not going to become a husband. The missing men aren't missing because the labor market failed them. They're missing because every institution that used to make a boy into a husband has been told to apologize for trying. npr.org/sections/plane…

The willingness of Jesus to fully enter into our world is the greatest act of love that has ever been. And he did not simply visit like a tourist, he went into the deepest, darkest, and most depraved corners. He tasted death itself, and silenced the accuser forever.

This is a bummer. Whether you agreed or disagreed with him, Massie was one of the most principled members of Congress, completely unafraid to vote for what he believed in rather than bend to political pressure. We need more of his kind in DC.

authority figures have a hard time being effective because distrust for authority that has permeated their worldview. Yet they still crave relationships. We must fight the spiritual warfare that keeps us from needy people. Individual care is the key to decreasing mass shooting.
English
One of the most difficult things I've had to do is enter into people's darkness and ask hard questions. "Do you have a gun? What kind of medications are you taking? What are you watching/reading on the internet?" You have to build a trust relationship to even be able to ask.

I am not going to read all of this, but it follows a pattern set by many mass shooters around the world. There is no simple solution (ban) that can prevent these tragedies, instead we need to constantly be praising community and relationships. Reassert the beauty of Imago Dei.
