Opinion: Kanye’s new album is explicitly, unabashedly, amazingly Christian — I take the same approach to his conversion as anyone else’s: Glad to hear it, but let’s see how it plays out over time.  His music isn’t my genre (shocking!) but I listened to this and enjoyed a few of the songs.

Welp. It wasn’t a marketing stunt.

Kanye West has finally released his new album “Jesus is King” and it is an explicitly, unabashedly, amazingly Christian album.Like, a legitimately Christian, Bible-verse-packed, cuss-word-free, not-heretical, seemingly very sincere work of art.

Like, more Christian than the stuff you hear on K-Love. The only thing not Christian about this album is the super high production quality.

Al-Baghdadi ‘Died Like a Coward’ — Good news!

We could get into the deeper roots of U.S. policy failures in the Middle East over the past 30 years, an analysis which would implicate both Bush administrations as well as Obama and Clinton. It was a bipartisan failure over many years that produced the dangerous chaos that Trump inherited, and the bureaucratic elites of the “Deep State” were horrified that this amateur outsider would be able to undo the policies they had implemented. And yet, despite every effort to sabotage his administration, Trump continues to gain victory after victory.

Three Bad Arguments for Lady Preachers — “But but but they are gifted!”  Uh, not according to the Holy Spirit’s definition.  And isn’t it an odd “coincidence” that denominations with female preachers are theological train wrecks on a host of issues?

Moloch Announces Forcing Your Kids To Become Transgender Is Acceptable Form Of Sacrifice | The Babylon Bee — Sad but true.  No surprise that the “Christian” Left is completely supportive of this madness.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The ancient god Moloch has announced that in lieu of the actual blood sacrifice of your children, you can now simply force your kids to become transgender as an alternative.

“Honestly, I still prefer killing your kids in ritual sacrifice or aborting them,” he said at a press conference. “I guess I’m old-fashioned like that. But coercing your kids into undergoing harmful surgery and hormone treatments works just as well, I suppose. As long as you’re sacrificing your kid’s future to the progressive, humanistic agenda, it doesn’t matter one way or the other.”

Moloch said that parents who encourage their young children who haven’t hit puberty yet or started thinking about sexuality at all to think about changing genders will be under the protection and favor of his evilness. “I am appeased by such sacrifice. A child’s life is ruined so that a parent may appear woke in the eyes of her friends—truly a diabolical ritual that I wholly approve of.”

Indians Are Mean to Blacks, Libs Blame Whiteness

Two 17-year-old boys accused of harassing four African-American middle schoolgirls — using racial slurs and urinating on one of the victims — are facing charges including bias intimidation and lewdness. …Police say the boys are of Indian descent.While it’s tempting to see the reported ethnicity of the boys suspected in the assault as complicating the story and raising questions about whether the assault should be thought of as racist, I look at it through a different lens. Instead of asking what the boys’ reported racial identity tells us about the nature of the attack, we should see the boys as enacting American whiteness through anti-black assault in a very traditional way.

Large Alabama church leaving SBC over Beth Moore support: “Straw broke the camel’s back” — Good for them!

Four Foundational Reasons not to be a Roman Catholic — Well done.  I thought the third one highlighted just how superstitious Catholics tend to be.

Third, Roman Catholicism has highly encouraged the use of the Rosary. This is like a lucky charm. Its mere presence can signify election. One 15th Century writer claimed the following, ” I do not know,” De la Roche, missionary to France says, “nor do I see clearly, how it can be that a devotion which seems so small can be the infallible sign of eternal salvation and how its absence can be the sign of God’s eternal displeasure; nevertheless, nothing could possibly be more true [sic].” The absence of prayer with the rosary is evidence of God’s displeasure. Nonsense. The rosary is a spiritual rabbit’s foot. It conveys no powers and provides no blessings. It is a sign of immaturity when simple folks hang on to these material tokens, much like the papers of Indulgence, by which the Pope could shave off millions of years in Purgatory. Simple faith it may appear to be, but it is nothing more than wishful thinking. Praying the Rosary is similar to transcendental meditation with its repetitive chants or thoughts. In this way of spiritualism, the rosary is considered a sure means to draw one closer to God. Jesus spoke of those who prayed in such a repetitive manner, thinking that they would score spiritual points of divine favor. Jesus dispelled that myth. The rosary does not please the deity. Neither will statues, candles, vigils, tears, Priests, Bishops, Cardinals, and Popes. Trinkets like prayer cards, beads, crucifixes, chains and medallions with saints engraved, as well as the rosary itself, could well be a sign of God’s great displeasure as they are drawing attention away from Jesus Christ, where His life, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and intercession is the only hope for sinners.

The Hezekiah Option: a strategy for Christians in a post-Christian nation — I memorized Isaiah 39:8 because it is a great reminder not to just sit back and enjoy our cushy existence here (Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “There will be peace and security in my days.”).  It is going to get a lot worse for real Christians, so we should fight to help our children and grandchildren.  HT: Danny

We don’t need any more King Hezekiahs. What we need is just one King Josiah. All of us need to confess that we are Hezekiah. We hate conflict. We steer clear of exercising authority. We don’t want to have to quote Scripture knowing the sophisticated ones will diss us for “prooftexting.” We weep and wail when women and girls mock us on FB. We act as if we don’t see Hezekiah’s cowardice, Jezebel’s rebellions, Simon’s simony, John Mark’s abandonment of the Apostle Paul, and all the other shameful things that have taken root and are growing in our churches.

Shame on us for being ashamed of Jesus and His words. Let us pray that God, the Father Almighty, will send a Josiah among us who will tear down our high places and lead us to worship the Only True God Who is high and lifted up, and Whose train fills the temple.

Biden Accuses Americans of Ignorance, Warns of Anti-Gay ‘Terrorist Groups

In 1982, the CDC reported that that the “median number of lifetime male sexual partners” for gay men diagnosed with AIDS was 1,160. In other words, a majority of the first men diagnosed with this sexually transmitted disease had more than one thousand partners. The man known as “Patient Zero” of the AIDS epidemic, Gaetan Dugas, estimated that he had sex with 2,500 men from 1972 to 1982, i.e., 250 different partners every year for 10 consecutive years. We may stipulate that Dugas was an extreme example, but his behavior was the tip of a very large iceberg of gay promiscuity during the Disco Era. But oh, you’re just an ignorant bigot if you disapprove of such behavior.

From the Spectator Archives: Appeasing China Is Old Hat for Prestigious U.S. Institutions

This past week we’ve seen the lengths to which the Houston Rockets and the National Basketball Association will go to kowtow to the totalitarians calling the shots in still-communist China. Alas, such craven institutional cowardice is nothing new in the Land of the Free, as we recall what was done to Steven Mosher more than 30 years ago for shedding light on China’s brutally enforced one-child policy. For his heroism, Stanford University, under pressure from China, expelled him from its doctoral program.

Joss Whedon Pretended To Be A Male Feminist While Cheating On His Wife With Young Actresses — The story is a couple years old but worth a reminder.  Never trust male feminists.

Joss Whedon’s adultery is yet another example of the duplicitous and narcissistic nature of male feminists. Contrary to the fake news media’s claims that neomasculine and anti-feminist men are predatory and misogynistic, it is almost always male feminists such as Whedon who turn out to be the biggest abusers and users of women. Any man who identifies as a feminist is a liar who should be shunned and avoided by both men and women.

Joss Whedon’s behavior towards the opposite sex is the norm and not the exception when it comes to male feminists. Much in the same way that Jesus warned us against listening to “hypocrites” who loudly and piously proclaimed their faith as a compensation mechanism, men who can’t shut up about “mansplaining” and “equal rights” are doing so in order to hide their own demons. Over the past decade, prominent male feminists have been repeatedly unmasked as rapists, abusers, and cheaters, behavior far worse than the “sexist” men they attack.

A Nobel for looking for “dem aliens” — Yawn. If there are other life forms in the universe, then we know who put them there (Jesus). He didn’t bother to mention it in the Bible, so I wouldn’t worry about it.

That said, I’m glad for any scientific discoveries that help us understand how Jesus created the universe.

Lisa Simpson: Dad, according to Junior Skeptic Magazine, the chances are a 175 million-to-one of another form of life actually coming in contact with ours.

Huh? Gregg Popovich praises NBA Commissioner’s ‘courageous’ stance on China — Popovich is just another hypocritical, disingenuous coward who uses the NBA’s disgusting failure to repeatedly hate on Trump.  He knows that people in China would be tortured and killed for criticizing their government, but he is so weak that he can’t even criticize China when he doesn’t live there – but he gladly criticizes Trump in a shameless non sequitur.

“Cut it out NBA, Adam Silver, Steve Kerr. You’re not social justice activists. You’re business people because when China tells you to shut the hell up, everybody shuts the hell up.”

University Bans White Students From Attending Anti-Racism Meeting

Luke: Evangelist to the Rich – Interesting post.  I’d never analyzed it that way.

So what have we seen in Luke’s Gospel? We’ve seen that the rich face unique dangers. They can be callous toward others, haughty, proud, cheats, swindlers, wrongly confident in themselves, and foolishly trusting in their wealth. If that is your life now, Luke says, you are in for a rude awakening at the end of the age, because everything will be turned upside down. The humble poor will be lifted up, and the arrogant rich will be cast down.

On the other hand, we see how the rich can be faithful with their wealth. They support Jesus and his ministry. They stand up for what is right. They use their money wisely for spiritual gain. The righteous rich in Luke are still rich, but they are also generous, repentant of any wrongs, and faithful to the cause of Christ.

In the book of Acts, just as in Luke, we see both kinds of examples. We see rich people at their worst, and we see how rich people can inherit the kingdom of God and live out its values.

. . .

So how can the rich enter the kingdom of heaven? What does it look like for rich Christians to “get it”? Importantly, “getting it” doesn’t mean to feel constant shame for being rich. It doesn’t mean trading places with the poor. And it doesn’t mean prophetic denunciations of material goods or income disparity.

But it does mean something. A lot, actually. According to Luke-Acts, to be a rich Christian who “gets it” means (at least) these seven things.

1. We believe. Christ is our everything, our all in all. We cannot serve two masters.
2. We repent. We turn from any cheating, swindling, or lying, and we make amends with those we have mistreated.
3. We put Jesus before profit.
4. We are generous. We give freely to help the poor and to further the cause of the gospel.
5. We are good stewards. We don’t try to be manipulate our way to God by lying, putting on a show, or trying to accrue power with our wealth. We are always shrewd but never power-hungry.
6. We do not trust in our money. There is no real security in dollars and cents. The righteous rich do not expect their earthly riches to last. They live for the heavenly riches that do.
7. We demonstrate humility. We consider everything we have to be a gift from God. We are meek before others and meek before God.

IG Stonewalled Congress On Backdated Whistleblower Rule Changes — The Democrats are so ham-fisted with this.  They aren’t even trying any longer, because they know the media will cover for them and not let voters know these simple truths.

As The Federalist reported and the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) confirmed, the spy watchdog secretly changed its whistleblower forms and internal rules in September to eliminate a requirement that whistleblowers provide first-hand evidence to support any allegations of wrongdoing. In a press release last week, the ICIG confessed that it changed its rules in response to an anti-Trump complaint filed on August 12. That complaint, which was declassified and released by President Donald Trump in September, was based entirely on second-hand information, much of which was shown to be false following the declassification and release of a telephone conversation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. . . .

The embattled ICIG also admitted on Friday that the anti-Trump complainant lied on his whistleblower complaint form by concealing the complainant’s previous secret interactions with House Democratic staff prior to submitting the complaint. Atkinson never even bothered investigating potential coordination between the complainant, whom DOJ said showed evidence of partisan political bias, and House Democrats prior to the filing of the anti-Trump complaint.

Why the Red Letter Christian Movement Is Not Growing — That’s good news that this “Christian” Leftist movement isn’t growing. And it was a great admission from wolf Tony Campolo that the movement is not well versed in scripture!

“Red letter Christians” tip their hands at their foundational error. Jesus is God and is in agreement with all of scripture. He quoted the Old Testament extensively, and referred to its most controversial elements without apology: Sodom & Gomorrah, Adam and Eve, Noah, Jonah, etc.  He affirmed the Old Testament and authorized the New Testament.

And Jesus didn’t hand-write the Gospels. They authors had some eyewitness accounts and some reliable second-hand accounts, just like the epistles. And all were inspired by God.

The “red letter” Christians are nearly always false teachers who pretend that the only words of the Bible that really matter are direct quotes of Jesus (i.e., the words that are printed in red in some Bibles). Their logic fails on many levels, and they can’t even get their own pet verses right.

If they were the least bit consistent they’d agree with Jesus’ “red letters” that say you should live on all the letters. Matthew 4:4 But he answered, “It is written, “ ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”

The red letters say to live on all the letters. Why don’t they obey that simple teaching?

The “red letters” crowd is full of nonsensical hypocrites.

Many Transsexuals Want to Detransition — Of course they do.  They had serious problems that the ignorant, cowardly and malicious Left told them would be solved with chemicals and surgery.   The mainstream media will try to hide this, but hopefully people will share it on social media.

“Detransitioning” is when a transsexual drops the pretense of being a member of the opposite sex. If hormones and surgery have been employed, going back to a normal appearance is easier said than done.

“I’m in communication with 19 and 20-year-olds who have had full gender reassignment surgery who wish they hadn’t, and their dysphoria hasn’t been relieved, they don’t feel better for it,” she says.

Too bad they can’t sue the mainstream media for egging them on to mutilate and deform themselves, tricking them into believing that screwing themselves up physically would make them less screwed up psychiatrically.

Hidden toll of starved sex husbands— Interesting article from a couple years back.  Even this secular researcher gets it – though I don’t agree with the “choreplay” solution where guys have to do work to get the women to have sex.  Uh, isn’t there a longstanding term for transactions where you exchange sex for goods or services?  Yes, I see how helping your wives can give them more energy and time, but making it a quid pro quo is gross.

But the broader point applies: Women — and especially Christian women — who use sex as a weapon and deliberately withhold affection are destroying their own families.  As I used to tell a sex-starved friend (his Christian wife had sex with him about once a year, and then only when intoxicated), it was still a sin if he cheated but that she was a fool to behave that way.  She thought their marriage was great.  That is, until she found out that he had an entirely predictable emotional affair.  They are now divorced, with all the carnage that comes with it.  He’s the pariah and she probably “forgets” to tell people how she withheld affection. So sad.

If only people would obey 1 Cor. 7 and not withhold their bodies from each other except under limited conditions.  So many marriages would be vastly improved.  And if only pastors had the guts to tell their female-dominated membership those truths! 

Academic who says wives who deprive husbands of sex are wrecking society. Her solution? Reward chaps for doing the washing up! The consequences of men being sex-starved by their wives are deeply worrying . . . Sexless or low-sex marriages are far more common than many realise . . .  A survey found a fifth of older women had been celibate for more than a year.

Don’t marry a feminist — I dated a feminist as a freshman (she wasn’t outwardly feminist at the beginning, but became more strident as the year went on).  She broke up with me at the end of the year, and I’m eternally grateful.  It somehow took the scales off my eyes and I completely changed my approach.  I didn’t understand things like “game” at the time, but did enough things right to radically improve my dating and relationship posture.  33+ happily married years later I’m glad I didn’t marry a feminist – and glad my daughters aren’t feminists, either.

Don’t marry a feminist, son, because she has an ax to grind, and someday you’ll become her target.

Don’t marry a feminist because she’s unable to give for the sake of giving. Feminists always tally up a score.

Don’t marry a feminist because family will not come first. Her career will.

Don’t marry a feminist because equality, not marriage, is her ultimate goal. And for marriage to work, the focus and commitment has to be marriage.

Don’t marry a feminist because if you get divorced, which you likely will since competitive relationships don’t last, she’ll blame you — and then use your kids as a weapon.

Don’t marry a feminist because you’ll never be happy. Feminists are perpetually angry and dissatisfied and have no sense of humor.

Kyle J. Howard Angry that Black Family Forgave White Woman — Howard is a professional race-baiter with a rather colorful (if unbelievable (resume).

Ironically, atheist websites showed more compassion and kindness toward the religious scene in the courtroom.

Hemant Mehta of The Friendly Athiest described it as a “powerful scene” and asserted the victim’s rights to offer forgiveness and a hug, only taking issue with the judge giving the convict a Bible.

Atheists, it seems, appreciate the Christian sentiments of forgiveness and closure more than Critical Race Theorists like Kyle J. Howard.

In fairness, male Democrats are creeps

It turns out that Republicans are having sex more frequently than Democrats, a study published Monday revealed.

“This finding left me curious about how specific components of relational bliss might be affected by political leanings. The answer is surprising: Republicans have more sex than Democrats and cheat less on their spouses. Political independents have sex even more often than Republicans but cheat at the same rate Democrats do,” Wolfinger, a University of Utah professor, explained in the Institute for Family Studies report.

Alpha Game: Sex-blind hiring favors men — But but but privilege!!

“We anticipated this would have a positive impact on diversity — making it more likely that female candidates and those from ethnic minorities are selected for the shortlist,” said Professor Michael Hiscox, a Harvard academic. “We found the opposite, that de-identifying candidates reduced the likelihood of women being selected for the shortlist.”

So as anyone in the real world knows, it is less likely, not more likely these days that a man will get hired if his gender is known. It’s not a surprise. Or, at least, it shouldn’t be.

Women get hired for a variety of reasons. Men only get hired if they are objectively superior to every possible woman and minority available.

The Left — including the “Christian” Left: Because some woman got hurt when trying to kill their children, we need to make it legal for all women to be able to kill their children up to their first breath.  Oh, and you need to pay for it.
