The Tragedy in Waukesha, Wisconsin has left 6 dead and dozens injured.
The media is saying things like 'a car drove through a Christmas parade' and a 'tragedy caused by a SUV.' Is this what happened? Did a random unoccupied vehicle drive itself through a parade?
Or was there a driver who intentionally swerved into old ladies and children trying to cause as much carnage as possible?

Seems like this was an intentional massacre, but you'd never know it from the news.
Why did this happen?
And what is Justice really?

“‘Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly." Leviticus 19:15

"The Lord works righteousness
    and justice for all who are oppressed." - Psalm 103:6

"For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened." - Romans 1:21

If you have been watching the news or reading the news or if you are under 40, chances are you were taught that the pilgrims and the first settlers of America were racist and genocidal and colonizers who murdered everyone, etc, etc.

While, no one is perfect, and all civilizations can be judged harshly from the future, this view of history is just plain wrong.

The story of Thanksgiving is a story of faith and providence.
God provides. God blesses, and we are thankful for God’s abundance.

And we can shout, like the proclamation in Revelation 7
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”  - Revelation 7:12

Happy Thanksgiving and keep the faith!

I am happy that the court of justice has done its job. 
I am sad that the court of public opinion has been irrevocably damaged by a lying media hellbent on pushing a narrative of hate. 

Brothers and sisters, we must come together and pursue truth, even when it is uncomfortable. If you are hurt and confused by this trial, do more research for yourself and don’t listen to the media. They are not objective and they have an agenda. 

Justice comes not from our feelings but from the truth. 

The truth is often unsettling. That is the nature of truth. 
However, truth is also freeing. Truth brings peace. Real peace. The world hates truth and peace because this world is controlled by the devil who is the father of lies. 
Don’t forget who the real enemy is.

Biden recently visited with the Pope and proclaimed 'The Pope is happy that I am good Catholic and should keep receiving Communion.'

However, 222 out of 233 Catholic Bishops disagree. Is this a problem and why do I care if I am not Catholic?

We continue on the wild ride of Catholic Communion and the Sanctity of Life versus the leftist policies of abortion promoted by top politicians.

Self proclaimed Queer Christian artist Semler hits #1 on iTunes Christian charts. Is this the future of Christian music? Is this artist even Christian?
What defines a Christian?

What is the standard that we use to determine what is our ideal and what are the issues? Do you define the standard? Does culture define the standard or is there a God whose son is Jesus and through the power of the Holy Spirit we can actually know what is right and wrong?

According to a new study from the Arizona Christian University Cultural Research Center, 75% of Millennials are desperately seeking meaning and purpose in life and this has led to them questioning purpose and even, sadly, their very reason for living.

Today we remember the Sword of Damocles and then look at what the Bible has to say about meaning and purpose in spite of circumstances.

Here is a link to the study:

You cannot be conservative and pro LGBT revolution.

LGBTQ and Conservative are mutually exclusive ideas, yet the RNC Pride Coalition has now created moral liberalist conservatism. If that sounds confusing, that's because it is.

We also talk about Microsoft going full woke and the tragic Travis Scott concert.

I've received a bunch of confused messages and have been talking about CRT for some time, but wanted again to try and wind through the confusion. And there is a lot of confusion, especially after the VA election.

The message is:
Critical Race Theory, while not ever taught in any schools is really super important and must be taught in schools at all times so children realize how racist they really are.

Today we are looking at the media meltdown over the Virginia election and the larger issue of who gets to determine the curriculum in schools.

Today on the podcast we look at why Atheism is on the rise and what one of the biggest indicators of becoming an Atheist is.

Also, I look at why this is an opportunity in disguise to invest in family and community.

Here's a link to the article mentioned in the episode:

Huge wins in Yesterday's vote!
First let's look at Virginia:

Glenn Youngkin wins the Governor's seat, Winsome Sears is elected the Lt Governor and Jason Miyares is the Attorney General - All Republicans.

This is a referendum on the cultural Marxist policies the state of Virginia has imposed but it is also a comment on the Biden administration's race to the left. The inflation, Afghanistan, school curriculum, trans bathrooms, and many more things.

People are pushing back, not just politically, but morally against the things that hurt society and especially families with children.

We also look at New Jersey and Minneapolis for some huge voting wins yesterday.
