Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him...

Behold, the eye of the Lord 
is on those who fear him,
    on those who hope in his steadfast love,
that he may deliver their soul from death
    and keep them alive in famine.

Our soul waits for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
For our heart is glad in him,
    because we trust in his holy name.
Let your steadfast love, 
O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you.
-Psalm 33:18-22

This is only one of many things downstream of mainline and progressive denominations becoming untethered from, and drifting away from, the authority of Holy Scripture and secondary confessional and historic liturgical norms for ecclesial life. As such, these trial liturgies in Canada are not so much a bellwether portending future problems to come, as a symptom downstream of the prior commitments that J. Gresham Machen so powerfully contrasted with orthodoxy in his powerful and prescient Christianity and Liberalism. The publication of these ghastly trial liturgies forces us to ask: is Christianity in general — and the Anglican pastoral and liturgical expression in particular — an authoritative account of truth and goodness to which we must assimilate ourselves, or a technique that people can use to establish their own sense of meaning derived from other sources?

Let’s get the easy part out of the way, which is not being old. The Democrat Party is a gerontocracy. As we’ve seen, the boomer generation has clutched onto power, sucking the lifeblood of the young to keep themselves in office forever. U.S. Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA-11), former president Joe Biden, U.S. Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (CA-43), and many others—what do they have in common besides a relentless commitment to Moloch? They think Methuselah is a whippersnapper. Only now are they beginning to loosen their grip, and that’s simply because they’re literally too old to maintain it.

Manufactured Moral Outrage...The Democrats rely on this technique to move the political needle, but there are simple ways to counter it    Activists on the left use psychological and rhetorical tactics to reshape public perception. Taken together, these tactics form a predictable pattern that transforms ordinary disagreements into moral condemnation. This pattern facilitates ridicule, leads to social exclusion, and, in extreme cases, provides justification for harm.

ERASING AMERICA: How Leftist-Islamic Allies Use Street Names to Dismantle Western Identity   In Bridgeview, Illinois, another American neighborhood has fallen. At the intersection of 87th Street and Harlem Avenue, local leaders unveiled “Little Palestine Way” alongside “Wadea Al-Fayoume Way.” This was an act of cultural conquest.
   Renaming asserts dominance by controlling memory and belonging. Conquerors don’t just occupy land – they rewrite the signs so the conquered internalize the shift. Bridgeview’s move fits the Muslim Brotherhood’s documented “Project” for gradual Islamization: build enclaves, influence institutions, normalize parallel societies, and leverage causes like “Palestine” to unite radicals and useful allies on the left.

Dangerous bacteria contamination levels trigger urgent health warnings at popular beaches from coast to coast  From the Atlantic to the Pacific, beaches across the U.S. are grappling with the same stinking problem. 
   Most beach closures are triggered by elevated levels of enterococcus or E. coli—bacteria that can wash into the water after heavy rain, when stormwater runoff carries sewage, pet waste and other contaminants into rivers, lakes and the ocean.

Christians are disappearing for worshipping a God other than Xi   Under Mr Xi's iron-tight grip, China has expanded its nationwide suppression of Christians during the last decade, arresting more than 10,000 people, according to Bob Fu, the founder of ChinaAid, a charity for victims of persecution in the country.

Increasing Number Of Ivy League Students Can’t Even Read, So Let’s Stop Calling Them ‘Elite’  The literacy crisis has certainly made its way to universities, but it did not begin there. A survey by The New York Times found that high schoolers are reading very few full books every year — often only one or two. Rather than assigning full books, the survey found, teachers instead assign short excerpts from texts in the hopes that students will read them. In the digital era, educators are catering to students’ shortened attention spans.
