By his wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24 is a profound summary of the gospel. Peter raised the strongest objections to the sufferings of Christ during his earthly ministry, yet he identifies himself as "a witness to the sufferings of Christ" in his first epistle.

Easter Sunday catechism sermon at @ReformedDC will be on the Canons of Dort. Fifth Head of Doctrine, Perserverance of the Saints. Rejection of Errors I "For Holy Scripture testifies that perseverance follows from election and is granted to the chosen by virtue of Christ’s death, resurrection, and intercession." Talk about a deep cut. If I'm not mistaken, this is the only time "resurrection" is directly mentioned in the Canons. Which is a reminder that the Canons of Dort are not a summary of the Reformed faith, they are a codicil to the Belgic Confession on the topic of election, predestination, and grace.

The only defense of the spend is if the rocketry tech is used for national defense and/or space force defense.

Best episode yet, IMO. Pratt and hosts talk more explicitly about faith and how it lights our path in an idol-filled world than in any other episode. Brutally practical and honest. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chr…

This account has a silly name, but often posts serious and informative takes. Here the author explains why attacking Iran's conventional military is also an attack on its nuclear weapons program. And Marco Rubio adds some clarity as well.

Iran was trying to use the North Korean model to get a nuke: create sufficient conventional deterrence so you won’t be challenged in acquiring one (it’s called the Seoul Hostage Problem). This has been explained over and over since day one. Everyone claiming shifting goalposts or no imminent threat has been lying. The reason North Korea was allowed to get nukes is because Seoul (and its 10 million inhabitants) is within artillery and rocket range of North Korea. During the 1994 nuclear crisis, the Clinton administration seriously considered airstrikes on North Korea’s Yongbyon reactor but backed off precisely because of the artillery threat to Seoul. Iran was trying to accomplish the same by stockpiling missiles and drones which would have had the same deterrent effect. The proof is what Iran has been doing in the past month: attacking all its neighbors in order to pressure the US to stop attacking it Beyond this, they were building medium-range ballistic missiles that could reach Paris and London, meaning all of Europe could be held hostage as they built a nuclear bomb. The reason Iran has not built a nuclear weapon until now is not because it couldn’t, but because it knew it would be attacked and denied this capability. So by allowing them to continue developing this conventional deterrence, you would be allowing Iran to get a nuclear weapon. And unlike North Korea, Iran is led by an eschatological death cult Reagan saw nuclear mutually assured destruction (MAD) as both morally bankrupt (because of the innocent-body-count problem) and dangerously fragile because it assumed flawless rationality between adversaries…this means it only takes one irrational actor to destroy the world. Working backwards from the conclusion that Iran’s Islamist regime must never have a nuclear weapon, it was necessary for the US to attack Iran to deny it the conventional capacity to hold the entire eastern hemisphere hostage. Every European leader knows this and behind the scenes praises the US for this action. But they are cowards, held hostage by their own internal Muslim populations, and so adopt these ridiculous public positions. This was never about Israel. And if your argument is that Iran should be allowed to get a nuclear weapon then you are a fool and a traitor to western civilization…you’re a useful idiot
