@JoshuaBarzon The evils of dancing.

If this Preacher walks into your church this Sunday, there is a 100% chance he is preaching on what topic?

Story time I went to a Beto/Cruz election watch party in 2018 at an all Dem DC bar watch party with my wife when we were dating. (Her friend invited her) When they called the race for Ted Cruz a girl from Texas that we were sitting with in a Beto shirt literally started weeping and yelling at me for laughing Talarico is getting stomped I promise you he had nowhere near the energy or likability of Beto. Beto had women crying for him and still got dusted by Ted Cruz with an all time public opinion low

This is such an important book at such an important time. Part of the reason Woke has taken off, both Left and Right, is because it has sold generations of young Americans a critical theory of who we are: a Critical America Theory. Our young people are searching for an identity, for who we are as a people, and there are so many bad and awful, but grossly satisfying, answers being given. It's pure poison. At this crucial time, on the very eve of the 250th anniversary of our Independence, in the midst of this Critical American Identity Crisis, my friend Eric Metaxas is publishing the book telling the story of our Revolution and thus calling us back to who we are as a people committed to a covenant based upon a unique proposition that has made the world a better place for a quarter of a millennium. Get it. Read it. Share it. Tell our story to your friends and especially to our younger generations, so that we might all continue to do our part to maintain the miracle we call the United States of America.

Brutal.

“You see, I don’t think age matters so much as people think. Parts of me are still 12 and I think other parts were already 50 when I was 12: so I don’t feel it v. odd that they grow up in Narnia while they are children in England.” - C.S. Lewis

1. Adam was created with Age. Animals were created with Age. Plants were created with Age. Why are the other elements of creation any different? 2. Sin and death came after the fall. An old earth relies on death before creation of man. It does not fit with the picture of sin and death.

@Andrewnsnyder @IMAO_ New Space Trilogy cover art just dropped... It's as if Salvador Dali painted one of those weird notebook covers from the 90s depicting dolphins and butterflies floating about the cosmos.

@IMAO_ This is Grok’s attempt. Profound.

Out of curiosity, I told ChatGPT to make a great piece of art that would make people think. Feels like a try-hard attempt from someone not actually that creative.

The broader Chinese-Russian-Iranian-Qatari propaganda narrative is simple: American global dominance must end. They want a “multi-polar” world where China, Russia, Iran, and others share power. To get there, America’s alliance with Israel must be broken. So they package anti-Israel narratives inside popular American causes and slogans: “America First,” anti-corruption, anti-Epstein, anti-foreign influence, pro-Constitution, etc. These become the Trojan Horse. The goal is to convince Americans that Israel—one of America’s closest allies—is actually its greatest enemy, using recycled conspiracy theories and long-debunked tropes. Do not fall for it.

Many dubious Christians on this platform (of the antisemitic, "Christless Nationalism" persuasion) like to rag on James Lindsay, a Christian-friendly agnostic, for consistently pointing out their errors and displaying superior moral judgment on numerous cultural issues. But for all their supposed concern over James' unbelief, they seem curiously indifferent to, you know, his salvation...and stuff. Same is true of their attitudes towards Israelis/Jews, Muslims, and others, btw. It's not James' fault that, to your shame, he has better discernment than you do in many respects. Let's thank God for that and credit His common grace, even while praying for James' salvation. Then, why not show some humility, repent when you're clearly in error, act like the Lord we profess to follow and, who knows, you might actually make the faith attractive, rather than repulsive. Just a thought...

That's what I suspected. Thank you for confirming. I'm currently deciding which to order! Btw, I have some good friends on the English faculty at Wheaton College who turned me on to your work some years ago. Very glad they did. God bless and congrats on the early success of your Arthuriad. It's exciting to see your work gaining a wider audience by the day!

@garrettpleague @JKohmJr That’s the limited edition with slip case etc

It was soothing just to hold this beautiful book. I haven’t felt embraced by a tale like this since Grahame’s The Wind and the Willows. As Malcolm writes, “The Holy Grail may come to us on any Sabbath Day.” @malcolmguite

I agree Christ fulfills all OT prophecies and that only by faith in Him can one be saved. That's why I believe the Messiah will literally rule over the 12 tribes with the Apostles in the land of Israel from the capital of Jerusalem in the future millennial kingdom. All promises are fulfilled in Christ, yes, but they are actually fulfilled as God always said they would be fulfilled!

Paul immediately spends the rest of Romans 9 through 11 explaining that this inheritance is fulfilled only through faith in Christ. The vast majority of Jews vehemently hate Christ. Also, how is Jewish Identity passed down via their mothers, when all the founding patriarchs of the tribes were men? The OT only ever tracks lineage through the fathers, never the mothers. Rabbinic Judaism is antithetical to the Torah, these are not the same people you read about in the OT. They are the hypocrites, blind guides, fools, whitewashed tombs, serpents, brood of vipers, and the children of hell.

Just straight Third Reich stuff, like it's jokes and pastoring. What a damn shame.

In some ways, Jordan understands the gravity of what it means to be a true believer better than many believers. Pray he fully commits his life to Christ before all is said and done. "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder." James 2:19

You have agency. You get to decide. Every day, you get to choose to pursue righteousness or to do something else, to take responsibility or to refuse it (and complain and blame others). Every day you have these choices and can make them the right way if you dare.

In the New Testament, Those Who Twist Sound Doctrine Are Presumed to Be Badly Motivated Today, if you criticize the doctrine of a famous religious leader you will likely hear the following: -You don’t know the man’s heart!! -You can’t judge him from afar!! -His teaching helped me, so he can’t be a bad person!! -Did you email him privately? But Paul does not act like it is hard to know what is going on with false teachers. Instead, he assumes they are badly motivated merely from the fact that they are teaching falsely. *** Titus 1:9-16 9 He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. 10 For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party. 11 They must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful gain what they ought not to teach. 12 One of the Cretans, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not devoting themselves to Jewish myths and the commands of people who turn away from the truth. 15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.

@CodyLibolt How about "You're not following Matthew 18!" So many bad actors hide behind that one.

Be Lewis maxxing, friends!

Children want moral clarity more than adults realize. They want heroes They want meaning They want examples worth admiring Classical education understands this instinct instead of trying to suppress it.

@JoshuaBarzon Old glory beats 'em all. Plus, these descriptions are a *smidge* biased.

Whose flag is best?
