These chaps are gettin' it done, tearing down the strongholds (Proverbs 21:22; 2nd Corinthians 10:3-6).
These are some of the few Christians in the States willing to combat the current sortie sent out from Hell's gates.
Strap in and enjoy, and shoulder an axe and help them hack at Hell's gate too (Matthew 16.18).
Here is a post link below of which I endeavor to send out each year for Ascension Day. I send it out now for a Lordsday meditation celebrating The Ascension, which was May 9th, and His Rule over Creation.
Doug Wilson -- long-time pastor in Moscow, Idaho -- sat down with Tucker Carlson this week to discuss Christian "nationalism". It went swimmingly. Stellar. Home run.
Here below is a short segment that Carlson posted to X to wet-your-whistle, but to see the hour interview subscribe to TCN
This is an animated short film produced by Choice42 a pro-life organization in Canada.
Caution, it is graphic and disturbing, but this is why we have to state -- as I've been doing as of late -- that this is demonic and the people doing these wicked acts are too.
Now, what's the word I'm looking for... is it "winning"?
(I had to include this video, couldn't help myself. And just for the record, I do not think President Trump caused or somehow "did" this wonder of families leaving the State schools. The video just harmonized so nicely with Christ winning and Evil in retreat.)
This is excellent, Christ-be-glorified news! The Halls of Humanism are getting a beat-down. Praise the King! (The demons of Hell just heard another wood splintering sound as an axe just busted through the front gate, Matthew 16.18)

Boy, o boy, between this and the recent Dobbs decision by SCotUS, it is not boding well for our brethren in the Rapturist (i.e. dispensationalists) and premil camps. Sad. But that goes hand-in-glove with their eschatology -- sadness and despair, that is -- so I imagine they're fine.
Praise Messiah! Another one bites the dust. Now, we have two more to go in Idaho!

"The first principle of Biblical government -- Church, State, family, and self-government -- is that God is in charge. Government must begin with self-government under God. This is as true of civil government as for all other forms of government.Humanism's denial of God's government means in practice that the individual's will is absorbed and denied by the will of the State. Public policy overrules any contradictory policy held by an individual, a church, a business, or a civil jurisdiction at the state, county, or city level. When tyranny finally happens, when the State's will becomes the people's will, the citizenry looks at the prevailing conditions and asks how it could have happened. Fingers are pointed all around, when in fact, the finger-pointing ought to begin with each of us.A nation that denies God's government over the individual, the family, the Church, and the State will find itself enslaved to those who want to be master. The sad thing is that many of us are willing to let it happen. More than this, we wanted it to happen. There is always the promise of security, the giving up of a little more self-determination, the handing over of a bit more jurisdiction to those who want to make us so secure.The doors of tyranny are closing. Are we motivated to follow God through the opening, or will we forever find ourselves locked in the grip of willing power merchants who will use us for their evil ends? The choice is ours.The term 'government' has many meanings today. Most people define it in solely political terms. Older dictionaries, especially Noah Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language (1828), define 'government' with a multiplicity of meanings and referring to numerous jurisdictions. Older textbooks see government as beginning in the home, what we would call "family government."Government in the singular belongs to God alone. The Church is a legitimate government with authority and power. God has established multiple governing authorities, one of which is civil government. These many authorities were not designed to compete but to cooperate. Multiple created authorities are patterned after the Divine One and Many, the Triune God. The One is not to be exalted over the Many. The Many are not to be exalted over the One. The many governments established by God are each placed over a domain designated by God in Scripture. Civil government is a God-ordained government that has a very limited jurisdiction that is designed to punish evil doers and promote the good."

The Roman tradition ("catholic") priest, Pierre John Desmet (born Belgium, lived 1801-1873), one of the great explorers and evangelists here in the Pacific Northwest, was asked on his death bed: "Why Father did you cross the ocean and come to America to preach to the Native Americans?”
Answer: “I did not come to America to preach to the Indian tribes, I came to glorify God."
Right on, and right on.
Well, here's something to cheer about.
Texas had their law upheld by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that disallows dismemberment of babies in the womb. Now, apparently they (baby murders) are still allowed to kill them in other ways, but they aren't allowed to do it that way,
So, ya know, that's something. Thank the Lord for His mercy of every little victory of righteousness!

Then, when we rid ourselves of prejudice, or racial feeling, and look facts in the face, we must acknowledge that, notwithstanding the cruelty and moral wrong of slavery, the ten million Negroes inhabiting this country, who themselves or whose ancestors went through the school of American slavery, are in a stronger and more hopeful condition, materially, intellectually, morally, and religiously, than is true of an equal number of black people in any other portion of the globe. This is so to such an extent that Negroes in this country, who themselves or whose forefathers went through the school of slavery, are constantly returning to Africa as missionaries to enlighten those who remained in the fatherland.
This I say, not to justify slavery -- on the other hand, I condemn it as an institution, as we all know that in America it was established for selfish and financial reasons, and not from a missionary motive -- but to call attention to a fact, and to show how Providence so often uses men and institutions to accomplish a purpose."
-- Booker T. Washington, excerpt from his book Up From Slavery
My Comment: Godliness can be saying, "NO. This darkness stops here with me.", and THAT can often be, and usually is, the most loving and merciful action you can do for the lost. To capitulate and compromise with wickedness such as this is not "love" nor is it living out "the Gospel"; rather it is following a bastardized, maudlin sentiment masquerading as the Biblical Love.
"Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. Let all that you do be done with love." (1st Cor.16:13-14)
""It was the Lord who put it in me to sail from here to the Indies. The fact that the Gospel must be preached to so many lands, that is what convinced me. Charting the seas is but a necessary requisite for the fulfillment of the Great Commission of our glorious Savior.""
"...condemn also others who are now spreading certain Jewish opinions, that before the resurrection of the dead the godly shall take possession of the kingdom of the world, the ungodly being everywhere suppressed."
"You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome.
This image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.
You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king....(vss 31-36)
"Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay.
And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.” (vss 41, 44-45)
