Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God...

Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. -2 Corinthian 3:4-6

A satisfying prayer life...elevates and purifies every act of body and mind and integrates the entire personality into a single spiritual unit. Such prayer can only be the result of a life lived in the Spirit...
In the long pull we pray only as well as we live.  -A.W. Tozer

The terrorists did not strike America merely because of particular buildings or policies. They attacked a civilization built around principles rooted in Christian teachings that they despised: individual liberty, religious freedom, freedom of expression, self-government, and the right of ordinary people to determine the course of their own lives.
   The final answer to September 11, then, cannot be a memorial alone. It must be a country that still believes those principles are worth defending. It must be a people confident enough in their civilization to still distinguish good from evil.
   Twenty-five years later, never forget those we lost. Never forget the evil that took them from us. And never forget the enduring duty to seek out and destroy that evil wherever it may appear.

Imagine if you had told someone on 11 September 2001 that in 25 years’ time the streets of New York City would ring out with sympathy for Islamofascism. Imagine if you had said to one of the startled souls watching American lives be incinerated by Islamist filth that one day the West would swarm with youths cosplaying as Islamist filth. Imagine if you had said that in a mere quarter of a century even our leafiest campuses would be awash with jihad chic, with silver-spoon students gushing over an Islamo-army (Hamas) every bit as hateful and medieval as the one that burnt New Yorkers alive.

If 9/11 happened today, How would the West respond?  Twenty-five years on, if the 9/11 terrorist attack by al-Qaeda happened today, the response in Australia and countries such as the United Kingdom would be a master-class in institutional cowardice. Through the mind-warping phenomenon of moral manoeuvrability, the attack would turn terrorists into victims and victims into oppressors, spawning a new generation of activists, sympathisers and supporters. We would be told it is us, not them.

On The 25th Anniversary Of 9/11 New York City Is A Completely Different Place  New York City is being radically transformed right in front of our eyes, and that is a national tragedy.
   25 years ago, it was such a great city.
   But now it is suffering the same fate that Paris, London and so many other once great western cities are suffering, and that is extremely unfortunate.

Mothers for Moloch:  Welcome to the Clancy death cult  This is a full-blown mass psychosis. Turning infanticide / filicide into a progressive cause célèbre is not advocacy; it is the ultimate devolution of human sanity. Far from being a forensic fandom driven by evidence, this movement is just another excuse for miserable women to bond over their shared contempt for reality. In any sane world, a mother who commits such a heinous crime would be locked away for life, where the general prison population would gladly handle her re-education. But in the upside-down, victim-obsessed world of modern liberal activism, evil is excused, accountability is erased, and a suburban mom child killer gets her very own fan club.

Lefty Michigan congressional hopeful called for redistributing ‘all the land and all the money’   Michigan Democratic congressional candidate William Lawrence said during a 2024 podcast appearance that it would be “just” to “redistribute all the land and all the money” as well as inaugurate a “world without borders”
   Lawrence, who recently ditched his Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) membership as he competes in a critical swing district, now insists he no longer believes in those radical objectives.

"How vast are the possibilities of prayer!

"How vast are the possibilities of prayer! How wide is its reach! What great things are accomplished by this divinely appointed means of grace! It lays its hand on Almighty God and moves Him to do what He would not otherwise do if prayer was not offered. It brings things to pass which would never otherwise occur. The story of prayer is the story of great achievements. Prayer is a wonderful power placed by Almighty God in the hands of His saints, which may be used to accomplish great purposes and to achieve unusual results. Prayer reaches to everything, takes in all things great and small which are promised by God to the children of men. The only limits to prayer are the promises of God and His ability to fulfill those promises. 'Open thy mouth wide and I will fill it.'"

A Death Wish Dressed as Progress...The West, the Churches, and the Faith Betrayed  Muggeridge saw it. Solzhenitsyn named it. Melanie Phillips is living it. Os Guinness traced it to the root. And the churches, God help us, have joined the demolition crew.

Although the mainstream media actively works to suppress stories of illegal alien violent crime, the numbers are horrific. Murders, assaults, rapes, and road carnage caused by illegals are devasting. The exact numbers are impossible to obtain, in large part because most Democratic Party-controlled states and municipalities put restrictions on collecting and/or disseminating such data. In addition, their sanctuary policies work against cooperation with the federal government.

Consequently, compassion achieves its highest purpose whenever it remembers who human beings actually are. We are bearers of the divine image and therefore worthy of profound love. Yet we are also sinners capable of profound folly. Christian faith embraces both realities with startling honesty. Public policy should learn the same lesson because every successful society must finally discover that grace perfects nature only when that society comes to understand human nature. Compassion guided by truth therefore accomplishes far more than compassion guided merely by emotive enthusiasm. Genuine love always seeks the lasting good of another rather than the comforting illusion that generous intentions and good feelings alone can save our fallen world.

--------------------------------

There may be other forces at work in the brains of those who pity Lindsay Clancy, a child-killer without a political agenda. Yet it’s hard to avoid comparing her apologists with Luigi Mangione’s left-wing admirers. Mangione became a folk hero to anti-capitalist radicals after he killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024. Clancy’s case lacks the overt ideological angle, but emotions run deeper than ideas. Mangione and Clancy have both benefited from a warped sense of sympathy for the underdog and greater identification with the killers’ plight than with that of the victims. It’s been argued that this is a projection of “Main Character Syndrome,” the narcissistic belief of many people, in this age of social media, that the whole world is nothing but a film in which they are the star.

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ...

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel...  -Philippians 1:27

Modern culture is a mighty force. It is either subservient to the gospel or else it is the deadliest enemy of the gospel. For making it subservient, religious emotion is not enough, intellectual labor is also necessary. And that labor is being neglected. The Church has turned to easier tasks. And now she is reaping the fruits of her indolence. Now she must battle for her life.    -J. Gresham Machen

Patriots of Portsmouth UK hold the line, Americans must follow suit  Maybe barbarians is too harsh a word, but I think we've seen over the past several years that many of those who come to the west from their own homelands do not wish to be of the west, do not wish to adopt our values, and seek instead to gain political control to turn our nations into facsimiles of their own. This makes it clear that they are not seeking a better life or to be part of the culture, but seeking to destroy western nations and take government handouts.

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness...

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. -2 Peter 1:3-8 Image

Holiness comes not of blood—parents cannot give it to their children: nor yet of the will of the flesh—man cannot produce it in himself: nor yet of the will of man—ministers cannot give it you by baptism. Holiness comes from Christ. It is the result of vital union with Him. It is the fruit of being a living branch of the True Vine.  
-J.C. Ryle

But there is no way to sugarcoat this or lie: many Muslims see their association with their religion as being more important than being citizens of their home Western countries. If Sharia were merely a religious way of life, it could coexist with all of the other religions in the land. But many of its practitioners make it clear that they have a religious obligation to subjugate everybody present to Sharia law. Look at all of the countries that were once Christian and today are Muslim. You don’t think it could happen in Europe? In the U.S.? Then you too have learned nothing from the four planes that changed America forever.

Looking Back On 9/11: Faith, Memory And Hope 25 Years Later  Christianity teaches that death and destruction do not have the final word. Jesus’ resurrection is the foundation of Christian hope. Christians believe that even though death is real and grief is painful, death is not the end. God promises a future in which suffering, mourning and death will ultimately be overcome.
   Twenty-five years after the attacks, we remember those who died, those who survived, those who served and the families who continue to carry the burden of loss. 
   We remember the darkness, but we also remember the light that appeared within it.

I will turn the darkness before them into light...

And I will lead the blind
    in a way that they do not know,
in paths that they have not known
    I will guide them.
I will turn the darkness before them into light,
    the rough places into level ground.
These are the things I do,
    and I do not forsake them.
         -Isaiah 42:16

In perplexities,—when we cannot understand what is going on around us—cannot tell whither events are tending—cannot tell what to do, because we cannot see into or through the matter before us, —let us be calmed and steadied and made patient by the thought that what is hidden from us is not hidden from Him.   -Frances Ridley Havergal

Leftist Activists Are Erasing the Truth About 9/11 From Classrooms  According to the North America Values Institute, an education watchdog group, leftist activists, some backed by George Soros, have produced 9/11 lesson plans now used in schools nationwide, including in New York City. One, "Teaching Beyond September 11th," spends exactly one paragraph on the actual attacks and never once calls the hijackers terrorists, instead building entire units around "Right-Wing Extremism" and "Islamophobia and the Oval Office." It describes Osama bin Laden only as a man the United States "accused" of masterminding the attacks, leaving out his own confessions and his declared jihad against a country he called the "worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind."


This Take on Hamas and Its Western Supporters Is Worth Reading  But the best part of the article is that it doesn't just go after the terrorist group, it places blame on the group's western supporters who now seem to make up a majority of the progressive left.

   There are three people in this story who truly had no agency: Cora, Dawson, and Callan. Remember their names. The pink people apparently need reminding.

Whether it’s rejecting voter ID, abolishing prisons, defunding police or allowing men to play in women’s sports, they seem to be on the wrong side of popular opinion on just about everything. All they have on their side is Trump derangement and the increasingly implausible ruse that they represent a “return to normalcy.”

How far will it go? The left now openly acknowledges they want to destroy the country and tear it all down to be rebuilt from scratch. Darializa Avila Chevalier, who won her Democrat primary and now faces a Nov. 3, 2026 general election for New York’s 13th congressional district, is co-founder of a group that called for “nothing short of the total collapse” of the “American empire,” with the goal to “eradicate America” and “Western civilization.”  
   This is how communists come into power: total allegiance to the cult, with any dissent swiftly and brutally punished. It will be terrifying to see how far they get.

Bronx Latino Residents Protest Muslim Takeover...This is what colonization looks like   Basically a few Muslims open some bodegas in a neighborhood, a mosque pops up to service them and suddenly a community with a lot of history gets dubbed ‘Little Yemen’ whether or not its residents agree. And the residents, in this case, are Latino, and they’re outraged at being colonized and replaced by Mamdani’s boys.

It is time we stop allowing our own slow demise under the banner of self-imposed censorship and fear of speaking the truth. I do not care about business alliances or investments. I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I challenge each of you to read the Muslim Brotherhood's Explanatory Memorandum and read the list of enabling organizations, like the Muslim Students Association, which freely operates on our college and university campuses. This should not be allowed in our Republic, and stating such is not islamophobia; it is YOUR being a Guardian of the American Republic, and all it holds dear and represents.

God Leads Us Along

 
God Leads Us Along 
Song Offering

1.  In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,
God leads His dear children along;
Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet,
God leads His dear children along.

Refrain:
Some through the waters, some through the flood,
Some through the fire, but all through the blood;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,
In the night season and all the day long.

2.  Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,
God leads His dear children along;
Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,
God leads His dear children along.
Refrain

3.  Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,
God leads His dear children along;
Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,
God leads His dear children along.

O Lord, we wait for you...

In the path of your judgments,
    O Lord, we wait for you;
your name and remembrance
    are the desire of our soul.
My soul yearns for you in the night;
    my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
For when your judgments are in the earth,
    the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
-Isaiah 26:8-9

Such is our dependence upon God that we are obliged not only to do everything for His sake, but also to seek from Him the very power. This happy necessity of having recourse to Him in all our wants, instead of being grievous to us, should be our greatest consolation. What a happiness is it, that we are allowed to speak to Him with confidence, to open our hearts and hold familiar conversation with him by prayer! He Himself invites us to it. -François Fénelon Image

The Persecution Of Christians In America Has Reached A Whole New Level A lot of people out there never thought that things would get this far. In America today, churches are burning to the ground all over the country. This is happening because we have imported large numbers of people that are extremely hostile to Christianity from foreign nations and because multiple generations of our young people have been raised in our overtly anti-Christian public school system. From kindergarten all the way through college, kids are trained to view the Christian faith through a hostile lens. Meanwhile, they are brainwashed by anti-Christian propaganda in our music, in our television shows and in our movies. In such an environment, the fact that Christian persecution is increasing should not come as a surprise to anyone.

But thankfully many others are aware of this life and death struggle. Indeed, as I type this, millions of Spaniards are marching in the streets of Spanish cities demanding that the treasonous socialist and Islamophile Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez resign.
   He allowed the invasion and destruction of Ceuta and has been turning Spain into a third world hellhole. Many other Western leaders have been doing similar things, which explains the rise and rise of Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Geert Wilders, Eva Vlaardingerbroek, Marine Le Pen, Alice Weidel, Santiago Abascal, Afroditi Latinopoulou, Pauline Hanson, and others.  Screenshot

And I listened to the prosecution's closing argument. When you’re doing a closing argument, you want to sum up the evidence, tie it to the law as instructed by the judge, and hand it over, wrapped up in a little bow, to the jury so it has no choice but to rule for your client. And the district attorney here was, I thought, fantastic in the parts I saw. Very calm, very methodical, highlighting bits of evidence, comparing them to the law, and telling the jury what they all meant. It was cool, rational, and logical, and that was probably the problem.
   The facts, the evidence, and the law all told the jury that it had no choice but to find her guilty of three cruel and atrocious murders. But all that was outweighed by the feelz.
