LAWLESSNESS IN NEW MEXICO

The Governor of New Mexico issued an illegal decree regarding guns. My demeanor is always to say, "that thing in the news isn't as bad as the news outlets and algorithms want you to think it is. You can calm down." Because I'm like that, I hope it comes with some credibility that I'm saying: this is a big deal, and it has to stop.

END TIMES QUESTION

A listener asked a question about End Times and how our thinking about the end of the world shapes how we live right now.

CRIMINAL SENTENCES

I've hear some commentators bemoaning the harsh sentences given to those involved in the events at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 while other criminals are given lenient sentences for serious crimes. My argument: they all deserve harsh punishments.

DRUG PRICE FIXING'S DOWNSIDE

A recent policy announcement would cap and set a price ceiling for some popular drugs. Both the "government shouldn't do that," and the "yay for cheap medicines" reactions are simplistic and immature. I want give you some deeper level thinking on policies like these.

A PROFOUND PARADIGM FOR MEANING

One commentator recently posited that we're miserable because our age says to find meaning, look first INWARD, second OUTWARD, and then finally, if you must, UPWARD. Real meaning is found the exact opposite way. I'll give details.

CHALLENING ELECTION DENIALISM

It's irresponsible to cast distrust on an election system without really strong evidence. I have a challenge on using words like "rigged" in a very precise way.

REFUTING “KINISM”

I came across an errant theology, that can lead to sinful

A GOVERNMENT LESSON

We know too little about what the Federal Government is and what its role is. It is an entity created by the States, so the States are supposed to be supreme over it. That paradigm has fallen. Even so, it's important that we know what is in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, so we know the specific job of the federal government.

RESPONSE TO A MEME

I keep seeing memes from the younger set bemoaning that life is just eating, sleeping, exercising, getting married, buying a house, and having kids. They find so meaning it, and it's making them miserable. We have an answer for this problem.

BIBLICAL LAW OF THE WEEK: EXODUS 21'S SLAVERY LAWS

The passages on slavery are hard if you are coming from America's history of racist, chattel slavery. I'll help clarify some of these laws.

DEBATE PREVIEW

There's a debate Wednesday night that some people (wrongly) think is important. I'll give you a preview of what SHOULD happen and also what WILL happen instead.

SMARTPHONES AND MARRIAGE

There's a fairly large study indicating major correlation between screen time and marriage troubles. I'll break it down and give some encouragement on how to stop your screen addictions.

FIRST "BAPTIST" CLEMSON

This church ordained a woman into the pastorate, bragged about it on social media, and I have some thoughts on their very lazy arguments.

BIBLICAL LAW SERIES

Deuteronomy has some laws that are hard to process. I'll process one of them with you in this section.

My original summary of this episode, I think, was really good. But this is my second try at uploading, so I'm out of cleverness.

We start by having a helpful back-and-forth about Christians and the State. I don't remember everything after that, but I know we discuss a slavery law in the Bible, why health care is a product (not a right), and a few other items.

Thanks for your patience as I got this fixed.

On This Episode:

NYT AND RIGHT'S ECONOMICS

The New York Times did a GOOD job of itemizing the growing divide between Reagan rightists and Trump Republicans on economic policy. Along the way though, they just told some lies that I will correct.

TAKE CARE OF MAYA DOCUMENTARY

I have some short thoughts on a maddening documentary I saw and recommend.

THE GOSPEL COALITION AND CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM

The TGC made a category talking about "Christian Nationalism." I want to clarify.

INTERPRETING HARD BIBLE LAWS

Let's wrestle through what some people claim the Bible says about rape.

On This Episode:

NANCY MACE

Nancy Mace bragged/joked about her own fornication at a prayer breakfast. We have a few lessons to learn from this.

IMPEACHMENT

I suspect impeachment will happen to this president within 1 year. I also think that we've discounted the severity of impeachment so much that almost all the presidents in my lifetime to come will also be impeached (but not removed by the Senate).

PATRIARCHY AND BARBIE

I haven't seen the movie, so I can't comment on it. I can comment on the discourse around the patriarchy, though. I have some nuance to add to it.

DOUG WILSON AUDIO

There's a video from Canon Press's Doug Wilson that I want to work through.
