Though it may not always seem this way—given the Trump regime’s daily desecration of the Constitution—the rule of law still reigns supreme.

Suppose someone's child is gunned down. If one of you says to them, "Here are my thoughts and prayers," but does nothing else, what good is it?
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Doug Wilson isn’t just a “provocative pastor.”
He’s a purveyor of patriarchy, white supremacy, and spiritual abuse dressed up as biblical fidelity.
If your theology looks like Jesus, it will never look like Doug Wilson.

2,000 National Guard troops headed to LA.
As the Trump Regime escalates, remember the autocrat model they follow: Erdogan. Orbán. Putin.
Authoritarians create chaos, then seize control to maintain “order.”
Every crackdown is a test run for what's next.

People will often use the Bible to justify bad behavior. Misogyny is an example. Jesus was not a misogynist. Jesus reached out to and used women (Mary Magdalene, the woman at the well) to spread his message.

If you are a Christian, you will often get persecution, if not outright persecution. For example, check out the comments in this thread. It was that way in the Book of Acts, it's that way now and it'll be that way until Jesus comes back.
“God is on your side” makes for a clever, feel-good cliché, but it’s not true.
God is on the side of love, peace, justice, and redemption.
If you are on that side, God is right there with you.
If you are not, God beckons you to switch sides.

So how many of these does the #whitehouse have to do before Christians stop trying to defend the administration as Christian? They have 0 regard for image bearers. Why are there any Christians still trying to support this antichrist administration.

Dow Jones futures down 1,159 points because of the Trump tariffs. Someone please reign in this meglomanaic.
The US would need 5 years of the income from tariffs at this new level to equal the $2 trillion wiped out in today's stock market loss.
US only has $4.1 trillion in annual imports.

A massive tax hike by Donald Trump (tariffs) on the American people are here. Get ready for A big drop in the stock market and retaliatory tariffs.

Buy before the Trump tax hikes (tariffs) makes it's presence known.
It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
