True Christianity brings with it a daily cross...

We must not conceal from ourselves that true Christianity brings with it a daily cross in this life, while it offers us a crown of glory in the life to come. The flesh must be daily crucified. The devil must be daily resisted. The world must be daily overcome. There is a warfare to be waged, and a battle to be fought. All this is the inseparable accompaniment of true religion. Heaven is not to be won without it. Never was there a truer word than the old saying, “No cross, no crown!” If we never found this out by experience, our souls are in a poor condition. -JC Ryle

The Well-Deserved, Utter Humiliation of Palestinian Terrorists and Their Friends There is a lot of rejoicing in America, Israel, and among normal people around the world about the peace deal in Gaza, but the Palestinian terrorist-huggers are heartbroken.

The Democrats’ descent into violence 

Stories of Democrats’ violence against Americans have become regular.  And yes, I meant to say it exactly that way.  I can’t think of a single Democrat who’s said or done anything in the last ten or twenty years (maybe longer) to make America safer, stronger, more prosperous, or more united.

The Citizenry Can No Longer Tolerate America’s Authoritarians   It now appears that because of the choreographed manipulation of the COVID “pandemic,” untold millions have died or suffered unnecessarily, and American society has been permanently altered due to the inbred infallibility, intransigence, and authoritarianism of the ruling class-legacy media-Democrat party cabal.

Another Lib Caught Wishing Death Upon a Conservative in NJ School Board Race  Photos of Scott Semaya’s vile texts about Danielle Bellomo at a July school board meeting leaked this week on social media — and the widening scandal is now being investigated by local cops and roiling the affluent suburb of Marlboro.

They Need And Want Anarchy...Especially In Chicago   Every single thing a Democratic politician does today is designed to concentrate power, eliminate competition, and create anarchy so they can grab more power and continue to centralize. Certainly, there are some Republicans who fit this description, but they aren’t the majority like they are in the other party.

Children in Charge? The EU Is Pushing Self-Identification for Kids- and wants to punish any state that disagrees.   The Eurocrats are likely getting nervous that they’re losing a grip on member states. Central European states like Hungary, Poland, and now Slovakia are refusing to bow down to the woke orthodoxies that the EU wants to peddle. Brussels has no right to be meddling in sovereign nations’ internal affairs like this. It certainly shouldn’t be attempting to coerce them into accepting gender self-identification for children—something that we know to be deeply harmful. Teaching kids to hate their own bodies is cruelty dressed up as progressive compassion. If these are ‘EU values’, then Europe desperately needs to recalibrate its moral compass.

Dem State Backs Down on Forcing Priests to Violate Seal of Confession  The settlement will allow priests to continue to hear confessions and uphold the seal of confession without threat of prison time or fines.

Repeat Offender With 33 Arrests Kills Brooklyn Church Usher After “Kind” Gesture Tanzi’s death is now yet another symbol of New York’s leniency gone deadly. His accused killer, a man with 33 arrests, walked free until he met a good man holding a door. And that act of kindness cost an innocent New Yorker his life.

Revival Among the Techies...Is the Spirit on the move in Silicon Valley? A recent report from the American Bible Society found that younger people in the Bay Area are just as likely to pick up a Bible as their peers elsewhere, and more likely than that broader group to report curiosity about Jesus.

Florida Bill Will Make Churches Safer 

Germany’s War on Christianity: Open Borders, Islamic Hatred, and the Collapse of a Nation’s Faith  Germany’s open-border experiment has unleashed a wave of anti-Christian hatred—fueled by imported Islamic intolerance, protected by left-wing politicians, and ignored by a cowardly media—leaving the once-Christian heart of Europe desecrated, demoralized, and on the brink of spiritual collapse.
