Principled non-voting
Lucy never holds the ball. The ballot never delivers the change they promise. Principled non-voting is refusing to keep running at it.

Principled non-voting
They don't care which name is on the ballot. They care that you keep consenting to be ruled. Principled non-voting is a stated refusal.

Just a War Theory
Jesus never taught the Just War theory. It's just a war theory. He said, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you," and to the Pharisees, "You have a fine way of rejecting

Hollywood Stops Pretending
After the failure of most remakes, Hollywood has resorted to straight up rereleasing the same films. That ought to save on development costs, for certain. It's an honest move, in a way. The remakes were

Water Is Free
Water is free. It falls from the sky, runs down the mountains, and pools in the ground beneath your feet. No one invoiced you for the rain. But if you want it filtered, someone has to build the filter.

Irresistible Grace? What Eli's House Says

I Don't Use Bots. I Use Minions.
I don't use bots. I use minions. 🍌 Every one of them has a job. One cleans my inbox, one watches my money, one tracks my packages, one haggles my bills down, one tends my garden plans, and one in a crown,

Most Christians have never noticed themselves doing this.
Editing Scripture while you read is eisegesis. It's not just twisting words. It's questioning God's motives so you feel licensed to override them. "Did God really say?" becomes "God couldn't

Just saw the new Spider-Man. Without getting into anything specific, did the ending make it feel to anyone else like Ned's connection to Peter was a little more stubborn than MJ's?

No one is good enough to rule you.
There are no good candidates. They don't want your ballot. They want to say you elected them. Don't give them that. Liking one doesn't erase the record. If you wouldn't leave your kids with them while

In 2024 he lost his Dallas pulpit after a five-year relationship with a woman in her twenties. He was 73. Her father confronted him and threatened to tell the elders. Only then did Lawson go to the church.

If God Ever Actually Chose to Create, Open Theism Is True
A real choice needs a “before,” real alternatives, and the possibility He could have done otherwise. A timeless, already-settled decree has none of those. Gen 6:6 and Jer 3:7 are not metaphors for a God
