If people expect biblical counseling that highlights the beauty of Christ, the glories of the gospel, and amazing grace, but they receive a focus on human rules and regulations; we have not loved them well or wisely.

God wants His people dependent on Him. Perhaps on Tuesday, the churches that decided to become political projects realized their time is better spent changing hearts instead of changing elections. Because by changing hearts, they will change elections and the world.

Whether you’re feeling elation, deflation, or consternation this post-election morning, worship Jesus. He is our reigning, righteous, and returning King. Our Father left nothing to chance, but all things to Christ. Jesus alone is worthy of our adoration and whole-life devotion.

If people expect real biblical counseling and they receive processed non-relational, mechanical, one-size-fits-all monologues; we have not loved them well or wisely.

Chuck and Kathi Bishop sharing on the beauty of beginning to dream again together as ambassadors of Christ and His Kingdom. What is it that we want to accomplish together? At the end of our lives, what will our marriage have been about and known for? Powerful exercise as Chuck and Kathi share their shared dream that they have mounted on their wall at home as to what their marriage is built to accomplish together and invite couples to do the same.

“In Him” we live and move (Acts 17:28). “In Him” we have redemption (Eph 1:7). “In Him” we are heirs (Eph 1:11). “In Him” we were sealed (Eph 1:13). “In Him” we are built together (Eph 2:22). “In Him” we have boldness (Eph 3:12). We are nothing without Christ.

You notice anything? Look at what separates the two groups. It isn't technology. It isn't complexity. It's one variable: how much the state is involved. At the top, sectors that are subsidized, regulated, shielded from competition, where the state funds demand and blocks supply. At the bottom, sectors where companies fight every single morning to serve you better and cheaper.
And inflation doesn’t melt everything at the same speed. Since 2000, a TV has become 98% cheaper. Childcare costs 159% more, a university degree 197% more. Wages rose 131%. Your TV got cheaper. Your kids didn’t. Chart 3: US price changes of selected goods and services vs. wages, 2000–2025

This morning, a Russian guided bomb struck Good News Church in Kramatorsk, Ukraine, during Sunday morning hours. Pastor Viktor Pavenko has served this city for more than 35 years. His church runs an important bread ministry for the poor and for people who have no family left to care for them. Our teammate Karl Ahlgren slept in this building a few weeks ago while delivering aid. By God’s grace, no one was inside or injured in the attack on the church. Kramatorsk is under heavy bombardment. Ten days ago, a glide bomb hit buses in the city and killed at least 30 people. 🙏 Please pray for Pastor Viktor and his congregation as they work out how to keep feeding their neighbors. Pray for the people of Kramatorsk. And pray for those who launched this bomb, that their hearts would turn (Matthew 5:44). 🤲 Help us tell their story. Share this post. #Ukraine #Church #Kramatorsk #Breakingnews #PrayforUkraine

I’ll add one more thing: Russia actively jails or kills evangelical pastors in the territories they control. They are in cahoots with the Russian Orthodox Church. Ukraine, before the war, was the hub for evangelical missions and church planting in Eastern Europe. It’s the most evangelical country in that part of the world. They also kidnap and traffic young children. This is something Melania Trump has thankfully highlighted.
Russia/Ukraine is not a “both sides” moral equivalence thing. One side is the evil aggressor. The other side is defending their sovereign homeland.

Watching Pornography is watching someone’s daughter or son who was made in the image of God sin and store up wrath for themselves … It’s also the very last line of Romans chapter 1. Approving of sin…. If that doesn’t bother you please examine if you are in the faith🙏🏻

A lot of Christian Nationalists spend very little time on this site sharing the gospel. They spend a lot of time calling people evil or un-Christian or talking politics. But they hardly ever share the gospel and grace. It is notable.

We’re officially on the side of the bad guys. Absolutely appalling.

Someday, we will have a Christian dictator who will rule with a rod of iron. His name will be Jesus. He will judge the nations from David’s throne. It will be awesome. Until then, all the demented clowns who try to make it happen before the appointed time are destined for spectacular failure that would be comical if not for the piles of bodies they leave in their wake.

Il faudra près de six semaines pour l’identifier. De Liel, il ne restera que des cendres et des fragments d’os. Elle avait 12 ans. « Je ne suis qu’une enfant, j’ai école demain ! » Liel Hetzroni a supplié les terroristes palestiniens de la laisser partir le 7 octobre. Ils l’ont assassinée. Elle ne retournera jamais à l’école. Son père dira à la BBC que Liel et son frère ont été tués pour une seule raison : « Parce qu’ils étaient juifs. » Si vous avez oublié Liel, vous avez oublié le 7 octobre. Regardez son visage. Retenez son prénom. Le génocide, c’était le 7 octobre. Le reste est une guerre légitime.
