"Shows like "Scandal," "Dear White People," "Veep," and "Shrill’ have been "unapologetically" depicting abortion, which would’ve been "unthinkable a decade ago," according to the abortion expert." https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/movie-show-abortion-hollywood-record

Good. Genesis 9:6 "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/federal-government-to-resume-capital-punishment-schedule-executions-for-5-inmates
Two things: 1. Notice that only in 1987 a full 90% of Brits disapproved of sodomy. 30 years later it is almost the reverse. That doesn’t "just happen." That’s the result of a determined, dedicated, and organized anti-Christian campaign. Stop trusting the MSM and the people who produce the movies and TV shows that indoctrinate your children to be your enemies. 2. The pendulum is starting to swing back–which means our enemies will be even more enraged and tenacious. Be ready or be crushed. #BringBackChristendom https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/jul/11/acceptance-gay-sex-decline-uk-first-time-since-aids-crisis
Of course she does…she’s not a Christian. She’s on the other team. https://www.christianpost.com/news/episcopal-leader-claims-st-paul-of-tarsus-curing-of-demon-possessed-girl-was-wrong.html
The Duluth Model and its presuppositions are both absurd and anti-Christian. How sad and pathetic that so many "conservative" Lutherans have been tricked into (or are too ignorant to realize the problems with) using and promoting materials based on the Duluth Model to combat domestic violence. #cureworsethanthedisease https://dalrock.wordpress.com/2019/07/23/ugly-feminists-on-a-plane/

And LIRS wants to resettle more Muslims in America? #BringBackChristendom https://nypost.com/2019/07/19/cow-slaughtered-in-home-depot-parking-lot-after-escaping-meat-market/
"According to sources, the only change in the script is a more inclusive update to Armstrong’s famous words when setting foot on the moon, which will be replaced with the line ‘That’s one small step for a woman, one giant leap for womankind, mankind, transgenderkind, genderfluidkind, and otherkin.’" This has got to be one of the funniest things all year! http://www.unz.com/isteve/babylon-bee-nasa-announces-all-female-remake-of-staged-moon-landings/

Harrison, CEO and chairman of Promise Keepers, has a new book out that calls men kings but denies they have any authority #ClassicComplementarianism https://dalrock.wordpress.com/2019/07/16/out-servant-leader-in-servant-king/
"One of the top promoters of the so-called Lights for Liberty nationwide protests by Trump-hating, ICE-bashing radicals was a nonprofit religious organization known as the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service…LIRS sounds like just the kind of extremist group you’d expect to be kept afloat by billionaire George Soros’ big bucks. But hold on to your wallets and your American flags, folks: In 2016, LIRS relied on $64.7 million in government subsidies from taxpayers — that’s you and me — to fund a whopping 96.2% of its budget." Yeah…this is probably not a group our Synod should be commending, at all. https://www.creators.com/read/michelle-malkin/07/19/defund-lutherans-for-open-borders-now
"Deicide may not be driving the Great Awokening, but He’s a casualty of the revival. From the GSS, theistic orientation among white liberals over time:" Super interesting graph. http://www.unz.com/anepigone/killing-god/
Why is the LCMS considering "commending" the "ministry" of LIRS again?https://www.elcatoday.com/witness-stone-blog/elca-partner-warns-of-large-scale-ice-raids
I’m no fan of Reformed theologians, but the LGBT savages need to be stopped. http://evangelicalfocus.com/cities/4602/Vandalism_against_the_wall_of_the_Reformers_in_Geneva
Many Christian Schools are gonna learn that dollars come strings. Taking government money is a risky proposition these days. Don’t let the dollars bedazzle you. https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/06/27/christian-charter-school-kicked-out-of-voucher-program-for-biblical-views-on-sexuality/

We should fear and love God that we may not curse, swear, use witchcraft, lie, or deceive by His name, but call upon it in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks. #MakeBlasphemyLawsGreatAgain HT: Pr. Joshua Conradt https://fox6now.com/2019/07/08/milwaukee-teens-think-outside-of-the-box-when-it-comes-to-earning-extra-summer-cash/
Absolutely true. Female discontentment is a plague upon our land and fed by our enemies. The Bible covers this in Proverbs 21:19. https://dalrock.wordpress.com/2019/07/08/discontentment-is-both-the-input-and-the-output-of-feminism/
The over-domesticated and feminized Swedes need to learn how to defend themselves again. Just remember, LIRS wants to bring even more of these "refugees" to the US…and Floor Committee 3 has a resolution to commend them! #CondemnLIRS https://voiceofeurope.com/2019/07/migrant-child-gang-puts-fear-into-neighbours-swedish-children-scared-to-go-outside/
The CTCR opinion on this practice will totally miss the point of the joke, come out in 20 years, and state that the Bible neither explicitly condemns nor condones this practice so we better not hurt anybody’s feelings. https://babylonbee.com/news/church-installs-trapdoor-that-activates-if-woman-approaches-pulpit
"Not even corporate profits are more important to the corporate devil-worshippers than codifying evil into the lawbooks. Whatever happened to their previous motto of "if you don’t like it, then just don’t do it?" Once more we see that ‘rights’ and ‘freedoms’ are just tactical weapons for the globo-satanists." http://voxday.blogspot.com/2019/07/corporate-convergence-in-action.html
Absolutely demonic. This is what happens when there is no discipline in a church body. And if you are naive enough to think that this could never happen in the LCMS, just consider how many congregations openly flaunt deviant practices such as open communion and that Concordia Portland has had a LGBT club for years. https://dailycaller.com/2019/07/02/lutheran-church-god-woman-goddess-worship/
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. https://pjmedia.com/trending/thanks-hgtv-americans-vastly-overestimate-the-gay-population-in-u-s-gallup-finds/
I wish we could just blame this on being a purely Minnesota thing, but far too many Lutherans around the country are pathologically altruistic as well. Endangering your family and neighbors to indulge people (and virtue-signal your own righteousness) is not loving. https://www.conservativereview.com/news/minnesotas-nice-culture-now-sanctuary-transnational-gangs-drugs/
It’s a start…but when will America finally get rolling? https://voiceofeurope.com/2019/06/sweden-to-deport-five-imams-because-they-are-a-security-threat/
