A Christian ruler is a man who exercises authority as a man under authority. He is first and foremost subject to Christ, and therefore bound by Christ’s commands—including the command to love even his enemies. The atheistic “secularist,” by contrast, ultimately rules as the highest authority in his own mind. There is no law above him and no throne above his. What is good, just, or permissible ultimately becomes a matter of his own preferences—and, all too often, whatever serves him, his allies, and his interests. The Christian ruler says, “I am under authority.” The secularist says, “I am the authority.” This is what the Western world has forgotten. This is why the Western world suffers.

The only people who would insist that English is not an ethnicity are those who resent the fact that it is—and that it doesn’t include them. There is no other reason to deny the existence of an ethnicity. They envy an identity they cannot possess, so they attempt to redefine it out of existence. That’s it.

Why is it that the English are so often held to a standard that is never applied to any other peoples throughout history? No ethnic group simply sprang from the ground as a fully formed, genetically homogeneous people. Every people is, in some sense, the product of earlier peoples merging, migrating, intermarrying and forming new communities over generations. The fact that the English have Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Norse, Norman and other ancestral influences, with some of those groups more dominant than the others, does not somehow make the English less of a people. It is precisely how distinct peoples come into being. caldronpool.com/p/the-mongre…

Washington is warning that Australia’s proposed online safety regime could become a weapon for political censorship. Senator David Shoebridge has explicitly argued that Australia needs a Digital Duty of Care so that messages from Pauline Hanson and One Nation are not “amplified”. Think about that. A bill sold to Australians as a child-safety measure is being defended by a senator who has openly identified the political speech of his opponents as part of the problem the regime is intended to address. That is not a hypothetical concern about how this power might someday be abused. It is a glimpse of how the power is already being justified. Read more 👇 caldronpool.com/p/online-saf…

An 83-year-old Christian grandmother was allegedly euthanised against her will under Canada’s assisted-dying system, prompting a criminal investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death. Brigitte Stegemann died on July 10 at The Pearl long-term care facility in Cannifton, Ontario, after receiving Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). Her granddaughter, Brigitte Kranendonk, alleges that Stegemann had repeatedly rejected euthanasia because of her Christian faith and did not provide valid consent before the procedure. The allegations have now led to an investigation by Belleville Police. Police have confirmed that the matter is open and being investigated by the force’s Criminal Investigations Division, but have declined to provide further details while the investigation continues. Kranendonk, who says she was her grandmother’s primary caregiver and held power of attorney for personal care, claims Stegemann had previously made clear that she did not want MAiD. Stegemann had been diagnosed with stage-four stomach cancer earlier this year. Read more 👇 caldronpool.com/p/police-inv…

"The 28-year-old is the first person to be sentenced since the introduction of a mandatory minimum 12-month jail term for performing the gesture."

C.S. Lewis isn’t subtle. The Lamb is Aslan. Aslan is the Lamb. The Lamb is the one who provides the meal. The way into his country lies across the river, and Aslan calls himself the “Great Bridge Builder.” But Lewis makes the point here unmistakable. Lucy is distressed because she has learned that she won’t see Aslan in Narnia again. Aslan, however, assures her that she will, but in another world, and under another name: “It isn't Narnia, you know," sobbed Lucy. “It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?” “But you shall meet me, dear one,” said Aslan. “Are -are you there too, Sir?” said Edmund. “I am,” said Aslan. “But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.” “This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia.” Lewis could hardly have made his purpose in writing The Chronicles of Narnia clearer. The children were brought into Narnia so that, through knowing Aslan, they might learn to know Christ. That means the Christian message is not an unnecessary aspect of the story. It’s not merely symbolism that can be disposed of or discarded without altering the entire story. It’s the very reason the story exists in the first place. caldronpool.com/p/hijacking-…

Multiculturalism doesn’t mean Christianity has to share the stage. It means Christianity has to get off it entirely.

This is what happens when the fumes of our Christian past finally run out. We are about to learn the hard way just how profoundly Christianity transformed our societies. Strip away the Gospel, and we shouldn't be surprised when the barbarism, bloodshed and brutality from which it once lifted us begin to return...

"A new $60 million Australian aid package." So $60 million dollars is going to Ukraine whilst Australians can't afford rent and many are now living in their cars on the side of the road. Worst Prime Minister we've ever had by far.

“An Australian” what?! “A Chinese” what!? Why is it so hard for these people to define simple terms. You can change your citizenship. You cannot change your ethnicity.

It’s all so tiresome.

EVELYN RAE: "Nobody in their right mind murders their own children. That’s exactly what makes such acts so horrifying. Severe mental illness might help to explain how someone could reach such a state, but it doesn’t turn the murder of an innocent child into something morally ambiguous. If mental illness can be used to absolve someone of criminal responsibility for murdering their own children, then what greater evidence of severe mental impairment could there be than the act itself? Taken to its logical conclusion, the reasoning becomes absurd: the more horrific the act, the stronger the evidence that the perpetrator was mentally impaired, and therefore the less responsible they become."

Reminder: Archaeology doesn’t validate the Bible. The Bible validates archaeology.

"I can’t leave my boys alone in such a bad world without my support." Why not? Because someone might HARM THEM!!?
