Those accused of crimes should receive a trial. But let's not make a saint out of a monster.

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. Listen close. There are people on this app who LOVE to argue. I know. Shocking. Please keep this between us. Now, you can join in, but one piece of advice: Arguing with a conflict entrepreneur on social media is like wrestling with a pig. You both get dirty, but the pig likes it.

If you live long enough or accomplish something that leads some people to regard you as a 'great man' or 'great woman'--you will laugh and laugh at the ludicrousness of it. Or I should say I hope you will laugh at it. Otherwise it will eat you alive.

Yes, atheism has its victims.

The manliest men I know do not brag about how manly they are. They do not talk about how “effeminate” other men are compared to them. They do not talk down to women. They honour their wives, daughters, and all Christian women. They do not change their mind every 5 minutes to chase the latest fad in Christless conservatism that will attract more weird men to their podcast. They are older men who have a track record of faithful discipleship, marriages, and parenting. They are not young, untested, ambitious, weak boys who want to lose their souls to gain followers on social media. They are manly because they are godly. And believe it or not, some of them do not have beards.

Fertility crisis is increasingly a global phenomenon.

Every era has its heresies. This is one of ours. It has been extremely common—though by no means universal—in the mainline traditions. But if we look at this along the lines of Gnosticism, Arianism, or Nestorianism, it helps to make sense of it. We have to confront false teaching and teachers and insist on the faith once and for all entrusted to the saints.

I traced out the sources of this liberal Protestantism in a newsletter I wrote for The Protestant Mind. See protestantmind.com/p/james-t…

Hey Canada, thanks for the assisted suicide brochure. She chose chemotherapy instead. Kristin Logan had stage 4 ovarian cancer, and according to her husband, Donovan James, while they were desperately trying to get her treated in Canada, they were confronted with MAID, Medical Assistance in Dying, Canada’s assisted dying program, while her actual cancer treatment was going nowhere. So they came to the United States, where she received chemotherapy and HIPEC surgery. Today she’s living in Texas, in remission, lifting weights and hiking mountains. Imagine that. A woman with stage 4 cancer wanted to LIVE, and instead of helping her die, American doctors helped her fight to stay alive. Crazy concept, I know. Canada, you can keep the assisted suicide brochure. She’ll keep climbing mountains, because I think she made her choice pretty clear. 🇺🇸

Euthanasia is not compassion. It is state-sponsored murder. When society offers death instead of care, it tells the sick, elderly, and disabled that their lives are burdens to be eliminated rather than human beings worthy of love, protection, and dignity.

“Euthanized against your will” is a euphemism for murder.

In the podcast **It’s Elementary ,"** masterfully hosted by Drs. David Watson and Jessica LaGrone, during the podcast Dr. David Watson asks Drs Tom McCall & Jason Vickers what contribution the book *Love Divine: A Wesleyan Theology * is supposed to make to the new generations of Wesleyan pastors, given the trend of non-denominational churches being drawn to Wesleyan theology? Dr. McCall answered as follows: The book is expected to help the Wesleyan tradition attend to the following points: ✅Commitment to the catholic (universal) faith** - Refers to the faith handed down to the saints through the ecumenical creeds. - Acknowledges that over the last century there has been "irresponsible play" with this foundation within the Wesleyan tradition. - That neglect has not served the pastoral, theological, moral, or spiritual life of the tradition well. - For this reason, there is a desire to root Wesleyan faith in this rightly understood catholic heritage. ✅Remaining distinctively Protestant** - This is not meant to belittle Roman Catholics or Orthodox believers. - But it holds that the differences between traditions matter. - Certain Protestant perspectives are valuable and should be protected, not lost. ✅Balance in Wesleyan distinctives** - Avoiding two extremes: - Triumphalism: exaggerating or overvaluing what is distinctively Wesleyan. - Minimization: diluting or completely losing those distinctives. - There is a "beauty" in the classic Wesleyan vision regarding: - who God is, - why He made us, - what we were called for, - how we are redeemed in Christ, - the work of the Holy Spirit transforming individuals and communities today. ✅The synthesis being sought** - The desire is to integrate three layers simultaneously: 1. Creedal/catholic foundations (the historic consensus of the faith) 2. Protestant distinctives 3. Wesleyan particularities - All of this within the broader framework of the historic Christian tradition. ✅5. Final hope and humility** - The desire is to deepen these commitments for the next generation.

I think the unbridled celebration of war images that show the killing of civilians is a sort of spiritual illness. There are just wars. Wars of defense or to prevent maniacal aggression. But love of people should urge Christians to wish for all wars to be brief and decisive
