Advent is a time of waiting...

Advent is a time of waiting. Our whole life, however, is Advent—that is, a time of waiting for the ultimate, for the time when there will be a new heaven and a new earth, when all people are brothers and sisters and one rejoices in the words of the angels: “On earth peace to those on whom God’s favor rests.” Learn to wait, because he has promised to come. “I stand at the door...” We however call to him: “Yes, come soon, Lord Jesus!”   -Dietrich Bonhoeffer Image

Give thanks in all circumstances...

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, 

give thanks in all circumstances; 

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.  

-1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Can the Lost Generation Be Found? -VD Hanson 

The current generation “Z”—those now roughly between 13 and 28 years old—is becoming our 21st-century version of the “Lost Generation.” Members of Gen Z are often nicknamed “Zoomers,” a term used to describe young adults who came of age in the era of smartphones, social media, and rapid cultural upheaval.

   Males in their teens and twenties are prolonging their adolescence—rarely marrying, not buying a home, not having children, and often not working full-time.

Federal Judges Are Becoming A Form Of Tyranny 

In the new reign of judges, America is now controlled by unelected, often foreign-born judges who have effectively usurped the president’s executive authority. Thiss a worldwide phenomenon. In Israel, a radical left judiciary will do anything to stop Benjamin Netanyahu. In Brazil, a radical left judiciary ensured that a leftist “won” the last election, and sent the actual winner, Jair Bolsonaro, to prison for 27 years—which is what the Democrats had hoped would happen to Trump after 2020.

AI Toys Tell Young Kids to Start Fires and Initiate Sex Talk: A Stark Warning to All  An AI-powered teddy bear was pulled from the shelves after it was recorded telling children how to find and light matches – “hold the matchbook and strum it like a tiny guitar” – and even drifting into sexual roleplay and spanking. FoloToy’s Kumma bear also directed kids to knives and pills. Screenshot

Update: FoloToy's AI teddy bear is back on sale following its brief foray into BDSM 

Will AI Be Governed — or Will It Govern Us?  If we surrender judgment to algorithms, we may keep the language of liberty — but not its substance.

The Day I Understood The American Spirit  

It is not about the Pilgrims, or food, or travel logistics. It is the annual reminder that American identity is built on gratitude: gratitude for freedom, for opportunity, for community, and for the chance to begin again. It asks for nothing but humility. It invites everyone, regardless of background, into a shared moment of thanks.

   As an immigrant, that matters deeply to me. Gratitude softens division; it tempers cynicism. It reminds us that liberty is not automatic. And it teaches children—my children—that life’s value isn’t measured only by achievement but by appreciation.

Since we have a great priest over the house of God...

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He gave up His spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. -Matthew 27:50-51

"Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful." -Hebrews 10:19-23

May God be gracious to us and bless us...

May God be gracious to us and bless us

    and make his face to shine upon us, 

 that your way may be known on earth,

    your saving power among all nations.

 Let the peoples praise you, O God;

    let all the peoples praise you!

 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,

    for you judge the peoples with equity

    and guide the nations upon earth. 

 Let the peoples praise you, O God;

    let all the peoples praise you!

 The earth has yielded its increase;

    God, our God, shall bless us.

 God shall bless us;

    let all the ends of the earth fear him!

  -Psalm 67

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.

His love endures forever.

 Give thanks to the God of gods.

His love endures forever.

 Give thanks to the Lord of lords:

His love endures forever.

Absolute dependence upon God...

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. -John 15:5-6

Workers, here is your first lesson: learn to be nothing, learn to be helpless. The man who has got something is not absolutely dependent; but the man who has got nothing is absolutely dependent. Absolute dependence upon God is the secret of all power in work. The branch has nothing but what it gets from the vine, and you and I can have nothing but what we get from Jesus.  -Andrew Murray

The Left’s  Family Problem: Marriage and Kids Cratering Among Liberal Young Adults  The Left has a family problem—actually, multiple family problems. Progressive messaging that devalues, denies, and deconstructs the value of family life and celebrates solo living in recent years is leaving its mark on the hearts, minds, and lives of young liberals. After being sold various messages that include, “Married heterosexual motherhood in America… is a game no one wins” (in The New York Times), or “Divorce led me to my happily ever after” (in The Washington Post), or “Women who Stay Single and Don’t Have Kids are Getting Richer” (in Bloomberg), or “Why Are Many Single Women Without Children So Happy?” (in Psychology Today), too many young adults, especially young women on the Left, now view marriage and family as not for them or, at least, not their top priority.

Why The ‘Seditious Six’ Should Be Prosecuted Swiftly For Urging A Military Rebellion The left is a steamroller. It will not stop unless it’s smashed. If Kelly and Slotkin and Crow, Goodlander, and the rest are allowed to get away scot-free, not only will they do it again, but they will raise the ante. One reason why leftists are so dangerous today is that there were no consequences for them over the last four years. When you burn down American cities and the Democrat VP candidate’s campaign pays your bail, you get the message quickly.

ALARMING Posts From Army JAG Officer Show Just How DANGEROUS the Seditious Six's Video Really Is  "The seditious 6 would be proud as they see their efforts produce these kinds of results within the ranks. 

   Army JAG officer MAJ Baker has been very vocal about her dissension on social media for months, and now she’s publicly stating she will not comply with lawful orders she disagrees with."

Muslim Sheriff Calls Non-Somali-Born Minnesotans ‘Foreigners,’ Claims He Serves Somalis First  Reaction to the video was intense.

This could easily be another step toward Sharia law. Screenshot

New York Is Cooked: Mamdani Brings in Anti-Police Activist to Transition Team  The NYPD was already bleeding officers before Mamdani won the election, but I'm not entirely sure how the NYPD will stay near battle-ready now. Officers will likely cut and run to other departments outside the city, or possibly even move to different states, and rightly so. It's highly unlikely that Mamdani's regime will have officers' backs, and no one wants to be the next Derek Chauvin.

Ignoring EV Pollution for Fake Climate Crisis  

Pull back the curtain on the EV supply chain – starting with Indonesian nickel mining and extending through rare-earth mineral processing in China – and there is revealed a far less immaculate picture. The "zero tailpipe emissions" tag is a masterpiece of misdirection, diverting attention away from an environmental hellscape.

In short, all claims that the US government was based on or borrows from the Iroquois Confederacy are groundless.

God is always speaking...

Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,

 for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;

   but let them not turn back to folly.

-Psalm 85:8

God is always speaking; He is never still. Just as in prayer it is not we who momentarily catch His attention but He ours, so when we fail to hear His voice it is not because He is not speaking so much as that we are not listening.  -Charles H. Brent

Nigeria's Jihad: Only a problem if you try to take action to stop it? Really?   Now that you have a serious administration taking the problem seriously, the snakes are coming out of the woodwork who want to downplay what is happening. Some for nationalistic reasons, some because they are scared of action on anything, some because Orange Man Bad, and others because, well, we can’t make Muslims look bad, even if they are slaughtering Christians.

   Oh, and don’t forget the kidnapping. On Friday, the latest horror took place that we are reliably told is not taking place.

It really is that simple: Christians are being killed for being Christians  Never mind that Nigerian Christians are crying out for help, insisting ethnic cleansing is taking place even as journalists verify that it isn’t. When woke Westerners said we must “respect people’s lived experience”, it seems they referred exclusively to themselves, not to Congolese whose throats were slit in a clinic by Islamists on November 14. Nor clerics being locked up in Armenia. Nor the hundreds in Pakistan’s jails for blasphemy. They have somehow slid down the list of concern, even though their cause ought to be our own, for the West is what it is because of Christianity.

How the UK Police Criminalised Christian Speech  Forget terror plots, knife crime, or rampant theft, Britain’s police have bigger things to worry about—Christian street preachers. Shaun O’Sullivan, a 36-year-old preacher at the evangelical Awaken church in Swindon, was acquitted unanimously by a jury last week at Crown Court. He faced charges of racial and religious harassment against Muslims for saying the words: “Pray for the Jews and pray for the Palestinians.” This culminated in a six-day trial, costing an estimated £20,000.

The Democratic Party's 'Illegal Orders' Narrative Is Falling Apart at the Seams  But the fact of the matter remains: if President Trump had issued actual illegal orders, Democrats would be able to name them. They have not.

   Their narrative is falling apart in real time, and it's incredible to watch. Screenshot

Democrats Calling for Mutiny Must Be Punished 

By now everyone is aware that six Democrats in Congress created videos in which they openly encourage members of the U.S. military and Intelligence Community to mutiny against the commander in chief.  They couched their seditious statements in the pretense that they are interested only in protecting the Constitution, but their message is unmistakable: Resist President Trump’s lawful orders, and we’ll have your backs.

Massive fraud by Somali immigrants in Minnesota hands GOP political hammer against liberal programs Federal authorities say the fraud across multiple programs in Minnesota alone now totals in the billions of dollars and continues to grow. And last week officials told City Journal that some of the money siphoned away by Somali immigrants made its way to Somalia to the Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group Al-Shabaab.

The Jobs Americans Won’t Do? Try: The Skills Young Americans Weren’t Taught To understand why “Americans won’t do these jobs,” you have to start with the fact that millions of Americans never learned how to work in the first place. Not because they’re lazy, but because the culture that used to teach work simply vanished.

    For decades, teens worked bagging groceries, bussing tables, mowing lawns, babysitting, or stocking shelves at the IGA. They gained skills and moved up into more responsible positions, all before college, and they saved money to go to college instead of taking out horrifyingly expensive college loans. Screenshot

Premiered Nov 21, 2025 

An orphaned bear cub finds a home with a fatherly evergreen tree, until his hunger for trash leads him to danger. “Forevergreen” is an animated short film and after-hours passion project created entirely by a crew of over 200 dedicated Artists and Technicians who all generously donated their free time and talent to bring every frame of the film to life. The production took over 5 years to complete. Featuring never before seen animation techniques and handmade artistry, weaving art and technology together with heart and humor.

Wait for the Lord...

Wait for the Lord;

    be strong, and let your heart take courage;

    wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:14

Do not be afraid of silence in your prayer time. It may be that you are meant to listen, not to speak. So wait before the Lord. Wait in stillness. Wait as David waited when he “sat before the Lord.” And in that stillness, assurance will come to you. You will know that you are heard; you will know that your Lord ponders the voice of your humble desires; you will hear quiet words spoken to you yourself, perhaps to your grateful surprise and refreshment. -Amy Carmichael

To Destroy Leftism, Save Society 

Several generations of Americans have been taught that “the personal is political,” and because of that, tens of millions of Americans now see every political opponent as a personal threat.  When every person with an opposing point of view is labeled a “threat,” it is impossible not to see “oppression” everywhere.  Young Americans have been so indoctrinated to believe that their opinions are “correct” and that contrary opinions are “dangerous” that they think it is both rational and reasonable to censor disagreement as “hate speech,” punish “thought criminals,” and hide behind the imaginary walls of a “safe space.”

‘Almost every German city is now on the verge of bankruptcy’  However, there are also many more hidden costs to mass immigration, including rising housing prices, healthcare costs, education costs for an increasingly foreign student population, and housing a huge number of foreigners in German prisons and psychiatric institutions. Just like Essen, even major cities like Berlin are seeing “spiraling costs” due to mass immigration, leading to large-scale debt required to keep the cities running

France at the Crossroads: Éric Zemmour Warns That Without Christianity, France Ceases to Be France  Appearing on the influential TV program Les Grandes Gueules (“The Loudmouths”), Zemmour — the founder of Reconquête, best-selling author, and former candidate for President — delivered a sweeping, intellectually rigorous indictment of France’s political class, its collapsing religious identity, and its sleepwalk toward Islamization. What made his message even more striking is that it came from a French Jew of Algerian heritage, a man who has immersed himself so profoundly in Christian civilization that he now defends it more passionately than most French Catholics.

UK: Jews airbrushed out of the Jewish war remembrance parade What was different about this year’s march was that the organisers seem to have decided that there should be no obvious signs of association with Israel, other than the small sign of the Israel contingent.

“Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God..."

Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” -1 Peter 1:13-16 Image

“Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.” -J.C. Ryle

“Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?”

And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?” -Matthew 8:23-27

"Why are ye fearful? Doubt not but the ship will come safe to land; though Christ seem for the present to be asleep, the prayers of His disciples will awake Him, and He will rebuke the winds and the waves; though the bush burn, if God be in it, it shall not be consumed." -Matthew Henry

More People Using AI For Key Life Decisions: Are We Giving Up Control?  From breakups and divorces to cross-country moves and career jumps, more people are asking chatbots to navigate critical life choices every day.

The risk is obvious: when judgement gets outsourced to software that was designed to please, bad decisions inevitably look glossy and we slowly lose all control.
