Restore us again, O God of our salvation...

Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
    and put away your indignation toward us!
 Will you be angry with us forever?
    Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
 Will you not revive us again,
    that your people may rejoice in you?
 Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
    and grant us your salvation.

 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.
 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
    that glory may dwell in our land.
    -Psalm 85:4-9

Report: Nigeria Threatening to Arrest Victims of Jihad if They Denounce Terrorism Nigeria’s Premium Times newspaper reported on Thursday, in the context of the federal government claiming to release over 500 hostages from “bandit” captivity, that the government has threatened locals plagued by jihadist violence with arrest if they speak publicly on the slaughter.

AI, Human Uniqueness, and Public Policy: Why “Image of God” Still Matters in a Secular Age  In truth, democracy’s survival depends on precisely this anthropology. A polity that confuses capacity with worth will soon grant rights to the efficient and deny them to the weak. By anchoring dignity in divine image, we retain a concept of personhood resilient to both technological imitation and ideological drift. The imago Dei is therefore not a relic of pre-modern thought but a civic design principle—a reminder that progress untethered from moral ontology degenerates into automation without accountability.

Across platforms, Gen Z engage in digital rituals that shape their theology and identity. From curated modesty aesthetics to Bible journaling and micro-testimonies, spiritual expression is increasingly mediated through visual culture and short-form storytelling. The issue is not just that these practices are distractions or increasing screen time, it’s that they are seemingly more influential in shaping Christian ideology today than traditional sermons and catechism.

Nearly three-quarters of teens say they have used an AI companion, over half use them at least a few times a month, and yet only 37% of parents know their child has used one.
   What stood out over and over again in a recent Senate hearing where parents of child victims of AI chatbots shared their stories, was that the parents had no idea their child was talking to an AI chatbot on their phone. They had no idea their child had downloaded a chatbot app on their smart device.

The lack of fallout over Kirk’s assassination has proved once again that the left is vastly more adept at following Rahm Emmanuel’s famous advice never to let tragedies go to waste. Kirk’s death, politically speaking, was a blip compared to George Floyd’s, for instance. The date Kirk was slain is not common knowledge, unlike that of the Capitol riots, which have been forever branded in the public memory, 9-11 style, as “January 6.”

'Furry' Who Celebrated Charlie Kirk Assassination and Said US 'Deserved 9/11' Running for Congress in Michigan Smeltzer's social media activity also includes posts of himself in a fursuit lying down on a pentagram and saying he hates the United States and loves China.

Parents Win: Federal Court Blocks Ohio School District's Transgender Pronoun Policy  In this case, it’s the students who are being told what they can and cannot say—and facing punishment if they disobey. And as the court noted yesterday, the school district’s ban on biological pronouns extends far beyond the classroom, reaching personal speech on social media off school grounds.
