You shall fear the Lord your God...

You shall fear the Lord your God. You shall serve him and hold fast to him, and by his name you shall swear. He is your praise. He is your God, who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have seen. -Deuteronomy 10:20-21

Let God’s distinguishing love to you be a motive to you to fear Him greatly. He hath put His fear in thy heart, and hath not given that blessing to thy neighbour; perhaps not to thy husband, thy wife, thy child, or thy parent. O what an obligation should this consideration lay upon thy heart greatly to fear the Lord! Remember also... that this fear of the Lord is His treasure, a choice jewel, given only to favourites, and to those that are greatly beloved.   -John Bunyan

We undoubtedly will learn more as we go along to inform the question of whether the Cornell case was actually a crime or not. But what we have heard so far suggests fairly strongly that it took place in a moral wasteland. Image

The Cornell Seven case reflects a deeper cultural collapse   ...where the Sexual Revolution, pornification, and the loss of moral boundaries have made exploitation increasingly commonplace.

American Support for College Education Craters to Record Low  One explanation for the steep decline since 2013 is the exorbitant costs of a college education, the group speculates. Gallup notes a separate poll found that only 12 percent of respondents said that a college degree is affordable.

US Pulls All 12 B-1 Bombers From British Base After New Iran Threat This move was carried out with alarming alacrity, which would cause one to believe that 1) any threat was deemed credible, and 2) if last week's attempt, for which six men of Iranian descent were arrested and quickly released, was attempting some kind of trial run. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is suspected to be involved in the plot.

We are learning more about the attempted 9/11-style plane hijacking and suicide mission on the flydubai plane heading to Israel. The miraculous outcome of what was intended to be a catastrophic terror attack is still much in the news, and more information is still forthcoming – with more to follow.
   Here is some of the new news. One ominous – but not unexpected – development is the jihadists are calling for more such attacks.

Mom Gave Her Four Daughters One Order As Hijacked Plane Plunged     “I was talking to God nonstop, believing prayer was the only thing that could save us. I told my daughters to pray, too,” she continued. “We needed a miracle, and I couldn’t help but think, ‘Is this how you’re going to die? Is this how your girls are going to die?’”


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

Trump Administration Nukes United Nations ‘Pandemic Treaty’   For years, the goblin architects of globo-homo race communism have labored tirelessly behind the scenes, in the shadows where they prefer to operate, to push through a so-called “global pandemic treaty” that would standardize the international response to the impending, much-hyped (probably man-made) pandemic, thereby subverting any national sovereignty that would allow room for individualized decision-making by nation-states.


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

Decades Of Refinery Mismanagement Are Behind $6 Per Gallon Diesel  You cannot spend decades discouraging an industry from expanding and then profess astonishment when it stops expanding. You cannot tell investors that an industry is disappearing and then complain when they stop building the infrastructure that industry needs. And you cannot shrink the cushion for years and then blame the next geopolitical crisis because the cushion is gone.
   Before accepting the next political sales pitch about who can fix the six-dollar diesel problem, perhaps we ought to look at the whole receipt.
   The people who gave us $6 per gallon diesel now want to be elected because diesel is $6 per gallon.   There is something almost impressive about that chutzpah.

In light of this, continuing to export fuel at the expense of American citizens, farmers, and truckers -- and their interests -- in favor of ungrateful Europeans can only be described as shortsighted or irrational. Opponents of Trump in Europe should hardly expect to find such qualities on the list of sins they attribute to the American president.

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

In a political shockwave heard ’round the world, Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, won the first round of Brazil’s presidential election and now heads into a runoff against globalist Lula with a political map that looks mighty favorable to the right.
   Bolsonaro’s party also looks poised to become the dominant force in Congress, with huge wins in the Senate and Chamber of Deputies. This fits a new pattern… across Latin America, right-wing candidates have been racking up victories one after another.

Orwellian brutes now govern Europe. Need further proof? The Green Party in the U.K. wants to replace “mother” and “father” with more “inclusive” terms. Meanwhile, the Germans just awarded the Westphalian Peace Prize to NATO’s military alliance.
   Parents are strangers. War is peace. Free speech is violence. Censorship promotes liberty.
   In truth, freedom in Europe is dead.

"First Time In History": Bessent Says Iran Faces Zero Oil Revenue As Tanker Loadings Collapse    The collapse in Iranian crude loadings suggests the US naval blockade is constraining Tehran's export options, while recovering flows from other Gulf producers point to eroded Iranian leverage over the strait. If sustained, Tehran's oil revenues would plunge, pressuring the regime to make a deal.

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

Jordan Domingue, a former Marine, was the top security official for Michigan Democratic Party Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed until January 2026, when he resigned due to El-Sayed's dangerous antisemitic views. Then Domingue began to talk.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Defends Visiting Africa as Wildfires Raged  Bass visited West Africa as part of a U.S. delegation to attend the presidential inauguration even after multiple weather reports indicated fire warnings and dangerously high winds.
   In late 2025, the Los Angeles Times reported that Bass ordered the watering down of the after-action report following the wildfires.


So Many Demons Need Wrangling That We Now Have a Shortage of Exorcists This election season, the American people are confronted with more overt atheistic communist candidates than at any time in memory. Christians or religious-adjacent Americans should ask if they want demons to make decisions on their behalf, or if they should choose people who have a Western moral compass. And if you don't vote, you voted for soulless factotums to make decisions on your behalf. That seems...dumb.

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

Islam’s War on Civilization: Destroy the Past, Erase the Culture, Conquer the Future  One of the most important events was when the Islamic State agents broke into a Museum in Syria and destroyed what they believed to be priceless historical statuary and artworks from ancient times. For Islam, all of Civilization’s great historical artistic achievements are merely the highly ironic concept of “Jāhiliyya”, what Islam calls the ‘time of ignorance before the light of islam’ came to free them all from anything decent, compassionate or forward moving.

More than 4,200 Christians killed in Nigeria this year - report   It also estimates that over 600 Christian communities have been destroyed or abandoned and over five million Christians displaced by violence and insecurity.

Over 500 million Christians face Bible access restrictions worldwide: report    The report found that Afghanistan has the strongest restrictions on Bible access, followed by Yemen, Somalia, North Korea, Eritrea and Mauritania. The Bible Access Initiative classifies all six countries as having “maximum restrictions” on Bible access.
   Turkmenistan, Libya, Sudan and Iran round out the top 10 countries with the strongest restrictions. Those four countries, along with Comoros and the Maldives, are categorized as having “extreme restrictions.”

Let love be genuine...

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. 
-Romans 12:9-13

Love—and the unity it attests to—is the mark Christ gave Christians to wear before the world. Only with this mark may the world know that Christians are indeed Christians and that Jesus was sent by the Father.   -Francis A. Schaeffer

The Fall of Rome and the Future of America: Illegal aliens have little sympathy for Americans, they are the people coming to take your inheritance from you Near its end, Romans were a lazy, self-indulgent people who paid others to do their fighting writes Larry Alex Taunton, speaking from firsthand experience with caravans of illegal aliens from South America. (Larry was the speaker who gave the famous September 11th keynote address: "Muslims have finally cracked the code on the West" — For Islam, "Socialism Is THE Trojan Horse" to power.)

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

Christian Mission and Islam...How should Christians deal with the Islamic onslaught?  As I have said so often before, the Christian has a twofold response when it comes to Islam. We are to love Muslims, but we are also to resist Islam. It might seem hard to do, but we must do both simultaneously. Both are imperatives for the believer.
   So we stand up for freedom on the political level and resist stealth jihad, while loving and reaching out to individual Muslims, bringing Christ’s message of salvation to them. To warn about the very real dangers of political Islam and creeping sharia does not mean we don’t seek to reach out to our Muslim neighbours with love and the gospel.

Supplements for Longevity Are Everywhere, but Do They Actually Work? Experts Break Down the Science   Aging isn't a disease, but a complex, multifaceted cascade involving a decline in your mitochondria—the tiny energy-producing factories inside your cells—and other processes.
   Some supplements aim to address these structures and functions, so your body is working closer to the way it did in your younger years, Dr. Timmons says. But because of the length of a human life, it's often difficult to prove they truly boost lifespan in randomized controlled trials, the gold standard of medical research.

And with his wounds we are healed...

Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
-Isaiah 53:4-5

God may thunder His commands from Mount Sinai and men may fear, yet remain at heart exactly as they were before. But let a man once see his God down in the arena as a Man, suffering, tempted, sweating, and agonized—finally dying a criminal’s death—and he is a hard man indeed who is untouched.  -J.B. Phillips

Israel Warned UK of Iran Terror Attack. UK Sanctioned Israel and Released Terrorists Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee was stunned to discover how determined UK authorities are to demonize Israel and side with the Muslims who want them dead. How suicidal do you have to be to hate the only country in the Middle East that favors the West and democracy while continually backing terrorists who would love nothing more than to turn the West into a brutal caliphate?

Serial Predator Larry Nassar and More than 20,000 Sex Offenders Removed from Michigan Registry Thanks to the Unanimous Ruling by Democrat-Controlled State Supreme Court  Those victims were promised the system would not look away again. Michigan’s highest court just deleted the public warning label on Nassar and more than 20,000 other sex offenders whose crimes predate a paperwork cutoff.
   The convictions stand. The prison doors stay shut for Nassar. The registry does not. Parents in Michigan can no longer look these men up.

Three classes that should be required for college students  Too many students are graduating with a college degree ignorant of this country and how it works.

Virginia State University accused of suppressing Christian student ministries while Muslim groups are exempt "It doesn't matter whether your motives are unity or things like that. You can't have one single campus pastor on campus that is able to control all Christian groups and then exclude the Muslim group and allow them to receive all of the benefits."

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

Churches today have an opportunity to buck our societal trend toward mediated, digital experience. Churches have a chance to demonstrate that not only souls but also bodies matter. Churches have a chance to reject the consumerism implicit within multi-site preaching and instead let God’s people be shepherded by messengers whose lives can be known by their hearers. Churches have a chance to showcase the beauty of face-to-face relationships, including relationships of spiritual care between pastors and congregants, even as our world seeks to remove human interaction at every turn. If churches are to do this, however, they must reject the pragmatics of video preaching and return to the biblical ideal: face-to-face, embodied preaching. My hope is that, in the future, our cities would be dotted not with multi-site campuses of churches streaming disembodied preachers, but rather with congregation after congregation of Christians receiving the teaching of God’s word via a local, embodied pastor.

Blessed are those who dwell in your house...

How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
My soul longs, yes, faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
to the living God.

Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
my King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
ever singing your praise! 
-Psalm 84:1-4

To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, [and] to devote the will to the purpose of God.  -William Temple

Same-sex marriage arguments are now selling polyamory  If God’s purposes in creation, that the sexual act and procreation exist rightfully within God’s design for marriage as exclusively between one man and one woman for a lifetime, are plain enough to guide us on that issue, it’s safe to guess what Jesus would’ve said had He been asked about polyamory instead.

But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise...

For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” -1 Corinthians 1:26-31

The life of holiness is the life of faith in which the believer, with a deepening knowledge of his own sin and helplessness apart from Christ, increasingly casts himself upon the Lord, and seeks the power of the Spirit and the wisdom and comfort of the Bible to battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil.  
-Edmund P. Clowney

Dubai to Israel flight makes emergency landing, passenger says "co-pilot tried to murder the pilot" and crash jet  "As they were approaching Israel, one of the pilots stabbed the other pilot and apparently attempted to crash the plane with everyone on board," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video statement, lauding passengers and other crew members who intervened.

Medical assistance in dying is not only a mortal danger to the most vulnerable members of society, but it's also deadly to the very principles of human dignity that our society is founded on.
   Like the medical profession, the law exists to protect life, not hasten death, and inverting the law's purpose is itself a form of suicide for nations, not just individuals.

Sen. Ron Johnson Holds a First-Of-Its Kind Exposure of What Happened in Hospitals During COVID-19 Panelists shared their personal accounts of mistreatment, disregard, cruelty, and the death-dealing experiences that occurred in hospitals across the country. From withholding requested care, administering treatments that were not authorized by the patient or the patient's advocate, and the cruel and heartless treatment given to people who either were not vaccinated against COVID-19 or who rejected Remdesivir or standard protocols, knowing the harm that they caused.
   One common thread within every testimony was the forced and consistent administration of Remdesivir, which Johnson said nurses mockingly called, "Run, Death is Near." Another thread was the hospitals' refusal, despite patients' requests and insistence, to administer Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and monoclonal antibodies. The third thread was the practice of putting people on ventilators, despite the fact that they were showing improvement, and how in each case it ultimately ushered the patients more quickly to their deaths.

He is the radiance of the glory of God...

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. -Hebrews 1:1-4 Image

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

What the hell has happened to us?
   The good are mocked and punished, the bad no longer held accountable. Our institutions have been captured by evil clowns who desire nothing more than to see to the destruction of the freest, most prosperous, and most tolerant and benevolent nation on Earth. Our culture has been degraded to the point it is unrecognizable. Christianity is routinely mocked and marginalized, as Muslim prayer minarets rings out across our once great cities.
    The DEI Nazis, the cultural and political Marxists, and the Muslim fraudsters have effectively combined forces to destroy this nation. That that fact is unpalatable to a great many does not render it less true. A free and open nation is always uniquely susceptible to such assault. That should be obvious. The only way for any nation so conceived to prevail is for the majority of its citizens and leaders to be learned, moral, and courageous.
   We are so screwed.

Want to Kill Christianity in America? Try This One Simple Trick the State of Maine Pulled  The story starts back in 2013, when a Portland, Maine, woman gave birth to a baby girl, Ava, with her now ex-boyfriend. Eventually, in 2017, Emily Bickford accepted Christ as her Savior and began to attend church with her daughter. Eventually, when they began attending Calvary Chapel of Greater Portland in 2021, Ava wanted to be baptized. Dad, who had 50/50 custody, said no way.
   In fact, so complete was the order cleaving the kid from religious study that it included, "any services, gatherings, or events associated with Calvary Chapel; whether and what material, literature, video, or other messaging associated with, or created or published by, Calvary Chapel she reviews; and whether she associates or communicates with any member of Calvary Chapel other than Ms. Bickford," Liberty Counsel, Bickford's attorneys, reported.
   Calvary Chapel preaches everything, everything, that other mainstream churches teach all around the country world. And that message of salvation is too scary for kids?

When the Fences Come Down...From a transgender dean in Milwaukee to a "transitioned" Jesus in Manhattan: what happens when a church sheds Scripture's boundary on sex  Two stories in the space of three weeks tell the tale. In Milwaukee, All Saints' Cathedral installed the Very Rev. Micah Cronin as the first transgender-identifying cathedral dean in the church's history. Cronin is a biological woman who identifies as a man, married to another biological woman, the Rev. Elias Henry, who also identifies as transgender. In Manhattan, from the pulpit of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, the Rev. Flourish Klink informed the faithful that God is trans and that Jesus Christ "transitioned" in the resurrection.
   The first story is about the bedroom. The second is about the Godhead. The distance between them is shorter than anyone in 1976 would have imagined, and it runs in a straight line.
The Sermon
   Klink, who identifies as non-binary and transgender, preached the sermon in March for the Trans Day of Visibility. It sat quietly for six months until LifeSiteNews picked it up this week and it went viral. That alone tells you how little anyone at St. John the Divine thought it worth objecting to. Screenshot

A Rebuttal to Juan Williams on Justice Clarence Thomas Williams' criticism repeatedly makes Thomas' race central to the verdict. He describes Thomas as the most powerful black Republican in national politics, then judges his work by what it supposedly means for Black conservatives and racial debate. That is racial essentialism, and it is a form of racism. It assumes that a Black justice carries a particular obligation to think, vote or speak in a way that satisfies others. It treats his identity as a political assignment.

Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God...

Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us. -1 John 3:21-24

Accustom yourself then by degrees thus to worship Him, to beg His grace, to offer Him your heart from time to time, in the midst of your business, even every moment, if you can. Do not always scrupulously confine yourself to certain rules, or particular forms of devotion, but act with a general confidence in God, with love and humility.   -Brother Lawrence

The Jerusalem Cross is going up on A-road lampposts. Richard the Lionheart kit at Reform rallies. Templars at Tommy Robinson marches. “Christ is King!” cried by Danny Tommo and his lot down in Dover. Crusader crosses are quietly usurping the Cross of St George — itself a crusader cross — at Portsmouth, London and points between. The algorithm is pumping out AI knight reels faster than a medieval pope pumping out papal bulls. England is Crusadesmaxxing. Image

On September 22, Britain’s new (and unelected) Prime Minister Andy Burnham took to the stage at the U.N. and announced a new “National Centre for Information Defence” to “detect, attribute, and disrupt” hostile state information attacks.
   The Right has correctly criticized this for being akin to Orwell’s terrifying “Ministry of Truth.” Our American cousins should be as concerned as we are because the Democrats will be sure to use this as a blueprint.

Why is Britain so tolerant of Islamist extremists? The “British citizen” from Hamas — and the warnings Westminster has ignored for twenty years.   In other words, in only 48-hours the British people just learned they are subsidising a house makeover for the family of a convicted Islamist terrorist while the British state has just given out citizenship to a committed member of Hamas in Gaza who, by all accounts, appears hellbent on murdering Jews.
   You could hardly invent a better metaphor for modern Britain. A state that is so woefully incompetent, a ruling class that is so drunk on the warped mindset of suicidal empathy, and a nation that is so committed to undermining its own survival, that it is directly supporting extremists who one day hope to destroy its civilisation.

Although the rape occurred in May 2025, the suspects are only now being arrested. In response to the rape, political leader Geert Wilders wrote that the Netherlands also has Islamic grooming gangs and called for all the perpetrators to be removed from the country along with their families.

AOC’s team admitted it: The Green New Deal was never about saving the planet On the other hand, there is a mountain of evidence supporting the common-sense idea that the planet’s climate has always changed and will always change...
...The Green New Deal was never about saving the planet, increasing prosperity, or combating inequality.
The Green New Deal is all about power and control.

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

Planned Parenthood Honors Biden for Abortion Record His Catholic faith makes the celebration even harder to ignore. Biden has publicly identified as a Catholic throughout his political career.
   The Catholic Church teaches that human life “must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception” and rejects direct abortion as morally wrong. Biden nevertheless made abortion access a major priority of his administration after Dobbs, signing executive orders and repeatedly promising to restore the protections of Roe. Moloch

Political disagreements are normal. But routinely calling political opponents Hitler or Nazis turns extraordinarily grave historical terms into ordinary political insults. If any elected official can be labeled a Nazi, the word becomes just another pejorative, gradually losing its historical specificity.
   If everyone is a Nazi, then no one is a Nazi.

Among the many human rights atrocities that Xi’s Chinese Communist Party (CCP) commits are the harassment, arrest, property seizure, and sometimes disappearance of Christians.
