Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
When rights come from God, the state is limited. When rights come from government, the state becomes god. That’s the quiet theological dispute beneath all the noise.
The week between Christmas and the New Year invites us to use these quiet days between to slow down, reflect, and rest in the presence of the Lord through stillness, scripture, and trust in His guidance.
This church is 115 years old. It’s small. Impossibly small, only able to fit 25 people—30 people if they are scrawny. The church is nestled in Appalachia, and looks like a postcard.
If you’ve tried everything else, try the one thing that isn’t just another version of you trying harder. Try grace. Try the One who actually knows you.
As a Christian, do you feel it’s important for us to reach the lost and perishing with God’s Word and truth? Should we be working to put forth truth, rather than letting deception run rampant in the hearts of our nation’s people — young and old?
Michael Heiser wrote What Does God Want? to bulldoze the religious clutter modern Christianity has wrapped around the gospel. Pastors padded it. Denominations complicated it. Church culture buried it.
This year, let’s slow down amid the frenzy of the Christmas season, seek the quiet light of God’s presence, and rediscover the peace and wonder of Christ’s birth.

Even in the holiday and seasonal blues, God offers comfort, practical hope, and the steady promise of His unfailing presence.
Hi, God, It’s me again. I know it’s been a while since my last prayer, so I don’t blame you if you choose not to listen to a hopeless fool like me.
As a Christian, do you feel it’s important for us to reach the lost and perishing with God’s Word and truth? Should we be working to put forth truth, rather than letting deception run rampant in the hearts of our nation’s people — young and old? Is that something you’re concerned about? And when you …
Science loves to strut like it has every answer. Neurons fire, brain scans glow, and voilà — that’s you. Except… not really. Because when it comes to consciousness — the simple fact that you’re aware that you exist — science is still fumbling in the dark.
Somewhere back in the bell-bottom era, a few folks decided religion was too “organized,” so they built a new one out of incense, tie-dye, and wishful thinking. They called it the New Age Movement.
Even in spiritual fog, the Holy Spirit remains–calling us to trust, to stay in His word, and to keep walking until His light returns.
You know, this really pisses me off. No, not Vice President J D Vance visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, a place where I have been and found amazing and inspiring, but the utterly asinine comments of (supposedly) good Americans, some of whom even profess to be Christians.
