(Ana)baptist pastor of a small-town rural Church. Love God, Love people. This sums up the law and the prophets.

As a Christian in my teens and twenties, I was told for years that if we let liberals legalize Gay Marriage, that would be a slippery slope to legalizing pedophilia. Even if that should be a personal decision, we can’t allow it because the risk is too great.

Who is defending pedophilia now?

Political Idolatry not only rots your morals, it rots your faith.

The SBC might be very flawed.

But last night my local association voted unanimously to fully sign over the deed to 2 acres of property to an immigrant church plant in our area so they can have full autonomy over their church building and the fields around it.

The local gas station has a breakfast sandwich with eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheese. All on two pieces of buttered Texas toast.

For five bucks. Meanwhile the local diner charges thirteen bucks for eggs and sausage on a plate with some hash browns. Yeah. Not a hard choice.

Is the fifty year mortgage supposed to match the fifty years it now takes to pay off student loans?

Mamdani is going to implement Shyamalan law. I have a sixth sense about these things, trust me.
Mamdani is going to implement Shisha law. Everyone gets their own pipe and the smog will smell of mango.
Mamdani is going to implement Shalamar law. He’s going to make it a night to remember

Almost every pastor who’s been in ministry for more than a minute has a story like this.
That lady calling churches asking for formula over the phone kills me because here was my week:

Woman comes to church on Sunday AM before service homeless living in car

We provide two hot meals, buy blankets, and try to fix her car but there's coolant in the oil /1

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

1/4 A number of folks who have watched the TikTok social experiment of the woman calling churches and asking for help, and then been upset at the churches for not helping her shows me one thing.

A lot of folks on this app like to talk about helping the poor, but have zero experience in doing so.

Our grandparents fought in a war where their enemies used mustard gas. Today our federal agents can’t even handle being “attacked” by mustard on a sandwich.

How long until condiments are considered a deadly weapon in the wrong hands?

There are two kinds of Tomato plants. Determinate and indeterminate. The first grows as a bush and produces all of its fruit at once and is done. The second grows as vines and produces fruit all through the growing season, but requires a great deal more work to maintain.

Mike Johnson has deep connections to Paul Pressler, a major player in the conservative takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention in the 1990s. Pressler also just so happened to be a child molester.

The rotten fruit of the Conservative Resurgence is coming to full fruition in American Politics.

One thing conservatives and liberals share in common is they both celebrate when people they hate die.

How many Americans read the Great Gatsby and don’t realize it is a harsh critique of the glitz and glamour of the obscenely rich and their corrupt and immoral lives?

For many evangelicals, there’s a belief that the temple has to be rebuilt before Jesus comes back, so they support Israel in the hopes that the temple will be rebuilt.

Some Evangelicals believe Jews will the die and be sent to hell, although that’s hardly universal. Some believe they’ll convert…

If you donate canned food to a pantry, make sure you donate food with pop tab lids if you can, or consider donating some can openers. You’d be surprised at what some folks don’t have.

More accurate if you are going to use Tolkien to describe ICE
October 30, 2025 at 2:45 AM
Besides missing the major themes Tolkien wove into the Lord of the Rings, Musk also fails to realize that the men of Gondor, and the men of Rohan as well, were men of virtue and noble character.

And Tolkien makes a point of humanizing the enemies they fight, whether Dunlenders or the Haradrim.
