Praying I get to go home from hospital tomorrow and this will be my last step in my last rodeo with cancer. What is amazing is how, through suffering, the Psalms come alive to you. And you realize what a good God we serve that he puts all of these messy, desperate human emotions

“They watered down the gospel so as not to offend liberals who came to their church.” True this was the motivation of many leaders of otherwise conservative congregations. For the Keller’s of the movement, they saw the watering down of the Gospel as a way to recruit leftists into
The Big Eva, seeker sensitive, “winsome third way” Keller approach to Christian cultural engagement tried to offer the gospel as an “off-ramp” to Leftism. Charlie Kirk offered conservative politics as an on-ramp to the gospel. They tried to relate to the Left, Charlie rebuked

Beautiful reflection from Jasmine Holmes, Voddie Baucham’s daughter (screenshotted from her public page on Instagram).

After this article, during the rise of the BLM movement, evangelical leaders had a choice. They could promote the voices black Christians needed to hear or they could promote the voices black Christians wanted to hear. Most of them chose the latter and shut Voddie out.
“I don’t care what advantages my white neighbor may or may not have. If he does have advantages, God bless him! I no more fault him than I fault my own children who have tremendous advantages due to the fact that they were raised by two educated, Christian parents who loved,

“You are going to hear a rumour one day that Voddie Bauckham is no more. Don't you believe it? Because though I die, I will rise with Christ. It will not be the end of me.” PRAISE THE LORD!!! https://t.co/aNIlo3DD61

20 years ago I wrote The UltraMind Solution arguing we need to fix the body to heal the brain. The medical establishment wasn't ready. Today Stanford just proved me right with results that should terrify Big Pharma. 🧵

Here’s my basic operating principle on political-religious coalition work: There are millions of people I can’t do church with that I can do politics with. If you think that I’m going to let “Reformed Theology Discernment bros” (a theology I share by the way) stop me from

Another history lesson: Joseph Goebbels created a game plan to justify atrocities committed by the Third Reich. This plan is known historically as THE BIG LIE. The idea was to promote a falsehood repeatedly until it became an accepted truth. The “fascism” lie about conservative
🚨BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries calls Donald Trump, along with his supporters, "EXTREMISTS." Then he labels the Supreme Court a radical organization. "Donald Trump and these extremists have been destroying integrity. And we should also blame the conservative justices on the Supreme

A few random observations after the Charlie Kirk memorial service: I wish I was about 30 years younger so I could live for several more decades in the America we are on the cusp of creating. Obviously, things could get derailed. Nothing is guaranteed. But the trajectory we are

I am thankful that Erika Kirk forgave the man who murdered her husband. That was a beautiful testimony to the mercy of God. I am thankful that Stephen Miller desires to punish evil. That is his job as a civil magistrate.

Too many Christians (including a lot of pastors) are judging Charlie Kirk’s ministry not by the criteria of truth but by the criteria of offense. They’re distancing themselves from Kirk because the things he said on college campuses upset some people - as if that calls into

It is no secret that George Whitefield and John Wesley were contemporaries and that they had a serious "feud" on theological matters. It was public and it was heavy. However, they still loved and respected each other. Wesley actually preached Whitefield's funeral. Whitefeild

“Everything that has gone wrong with the teaching profession regarding professional standards has absolutely occurred within nursing.”
@JesseKellyDC @instapundit I have been an RN for 34 years. Quick answer. Bachelor programs are more vested in liberal education than standards of professionalism. I could write a huge response here with specifics, but in general, professional boundaries and standards have not been enforced for at least

This you?
One of the hallmarks of authoritarianism is to terrify people into self-censorship. ABC ending Kimmel’s show is the perfect example of this.

In the 50s, when I was born, most women (over 75%) were convinced by doctors and the media that baby formula (cow’s milk and a ton of sugar) was better for their baby than breast milk. Common sense flew out the window. Stop being easily deceived, women.
