Cancel culture seeks justice through exclusion, but the gospel calls Christians to a better way.
A color revolution isn’t primarily about violence. Violence is sloppy. It scares donors and ruins the optics. The real weapon is narrative. The objective is to convince enough people that the existing authority has morally expired. Once that belief spreads, the government doesn’t collapse from force — it collapses from ridicule and doubt.
The skewed hand-wringing narrative by the leftist legacy media studiously avoids the most basic civic premise of a constitutional republic: federal law is not optional, and federal law enforcement is not a performance art for leftist activists to interrupt.
I was at a barbecue. There were lots of people around, eating, and at some point one of my cousin’s kids rode their Schwinns into the yard. One boy leapt off his bike and sidled up to me. “It’s so quiet out here,” the boy remarked in stupefied wonder.
I believe most people today are so caught up in the “material world,” the world we live in, see and experience, that we forget there’s a whole other realm out there — just as real as the material world, but one we, as human beings, are unable to see with our eyes. I’m talking about the spiritual realm.

Don’t shoot the messenger. But in America, one third of children have never handwritten a letter. And it’s not just kids. Nearly 40 percent of adult Americans haven’t written a letter in the last five years, while 43 percent of Millenials have never sent one in their lifetime.

As BPJ of Bridgeport Middle School stood waiting for his turn, Emmy Salerno and four other girls from Lincoln Middle School took their turns at the shotput. Each stepped into the ring and then stepped out, forfeiting the match in protest to having to compete against a boy.
The annual World Happiness Report recently ranked the happiest countries in the world. The U.S. dropped to number 24, its lowest position in the report’s history.
As a kid, I had a hard time imaging the year 2000, but now, we’re more than a quarter century past that, as 2025 rolls into history.
Many churches today struggle not because the Bible is unclear, but because familiar words have quietly changed meaning. Over time, Christian language has been softened, shortened, or modernized in ways that feel harmless.
Help us to love one another. Help us to find beauty in each fellow human being. Beauty within each soul who crosses our path today. Teach us to find beauty in our enemies.
College football didn’t just lose its way—it pawned its compass, financed a leased Lamborghini, and told tradition to hit the transfer portal.
Americans must not let a young black surgeon operate on him/herself. It isn’t racism on the part of the patient that guides such a decision. It is racism on the part of colleges, medical schools, residency programs, et al which places way too many black Americans in classrooms & training programs where they don’t belong.
Stranger Things didn’t invent spiritual warfare—it just put it on a BMX bike and added synth music. The show works because it’s parasitic: it feeds on biblical ideas already baked into Western consciousness. Shadow realms. Invasive evil. Possession. Sacrifice. Redemption. None of this is new.
