It is so sad to see an organization that once focused upon serious issues promoting cultural, ethical, moral, and scientific insanity.
Manhood and womanhood are good, beautiful things.
Confusing them is not good, it is destructive.
The depth of perversity and evil represented here *should* be obvious to a morally and ethically developed human being---but, the fact that most won't grieve over this poor child is the greatest condemnation.
Anyone with a Bible in their hand and faith in their hearts knows the answer.

You would think his unflinching promotion of the murder of unborn babies would cross his mind at a moment like this. Precious child...but two days earlier, just fine to dismember it? The moral insanity is palpable.
No, it means nothing of the sort, and no one, and I mean no one, who reads the NT would ever come to such a conclusion. This is a glorious illustration of the result of denying sola scriptura and embracing sola ecclesia. Christ is King. Period. There is no enthronement of Maryโฆ

As a voting 45+ year citizen of Arizona, I find your absurdly imbalanced attempt to influence the election in Arizona not only offensive, but demonstrative of why NPR, as a leftist organization, needs to be defunded and scrapped. Let's hope that happens.
The death penalty is pro-life: pro-innocent life.
A society that cannot defend itself against evil predators is doomed, and that, justly.
I know this is very unpopular. "That's not Christian!"
The exact opposite is the truth.

Man, I am so happy to hear evidence that George Floyd was a believer. Lord, may the Gospel go forth and change hearts, including those who killed him. May the looters hear of their need of repentance and turn from their sin and evil.
It truly does make one sit back and wonder at self-professed evangelicals celebrating an election that will overturn every protection of conscience, promote every form of abortion, inject 8 year olds with Lupron, and threaten every evangelical pastor's speech.
Let me be clear: I am not a Trump supporter. I honestly believe that if he loved the country more than himself he would recognize the need for new leadership and throw his support behind someone else. HOWEVER, I likewise believe 2020 was rigged, as was 2022, as will be 2024. Allโฆ

Wouldn't it be awesome if God grew the church in China to the point the government had to embrace God-given rights and freedoms, and China became a lighthouse for the Gospel, proclaiming Jesus is Lord?

If you have been so negligent, or even deceptive, in your teaching and preaching that the women in your congregation have not been instructed in God's law and God's ways, the fault is yours.
At this time you can either go with the world and be consumed with anger and hatred, or, you can go with Christ and pray for every opportunity to witness of the truth of Christ to the Muslim people AND the Jewish people.

This is the biggest "You were right, we were wrong, but we refuse to apologize for all the people fired, all the businesses crushed, all the people cancelled, all the accusations of conspiracies, etc." I've ever seen.

God's hand of restraint upon evil is a blessing of grace, not something that can be demanded.
When He lifts that restraint, we should cry out in repentance, not in rebellion.
No one talks anymore about the evil. We expect blessing and protection...without obedience.
