TikTok comment: "If God is all-powerful and all-loving, hell shouldn't exist in the first place"

Joe Rogan just described the average modern life in 42 seconds—and it stings because it's so accurate.

"Most people don't have that kind of self-control and discipline. They don't have to.
Alarm goes off → wash, brush teeth, eat something, go to work → do the bare minimum → sneak phone time in the bathroom → come home → Netflix → sleep → repeat.

Family problems, job stress, car broken, house issues, bills piling up… everything's always wrong, everything's distracting."

He calls it what it is: a loop most people are trapped in, not because they're lazy, but because the system doesn't demand more—and distraction is the default.

Be honest: How much of your day feels like autopilot right now?
And what (if anything) are you doing to break the cycle?

In 20 years, having a son who grows up to be under six feet tall will out you as being a conservative Christian.

The equivalent of being an Amish guy with a buggy, or a woman in a bonnet.

Antiochian Patriarchate: for days now in Syria there has been a systematic & unprecedented massacre of Christians, the killing of monks, the burning of monasteries, the looting and burning of entire Orthodox villages, while the authorities in Syria are doing nothing to prevent it

Charlie Kirk's killer murdered him because he agreed with every prominent Democrat that views they disagree with are hateful and dangerous. I want unity—but first they have to take responsibility, admit the truth, and explain how they will change. That's how we move forward.

Father Mike explaining quite clearly that having faith alone is little more than practical atheism.

“Pick up your cross and follow Me” essentially proves it. We all must be Catholic if we want to be disciples of the Divine Son of God.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Friends, for this Twenty-Second Sunday of Ordinary Time, I want to talk to you about a very important theme—namely, pride and its antidote. I don’t know a spiritual teacher who doesn’t say that the fundamental problem we have is pride; it is the most deadly of the deadly sins. The opposite of pride is humility—and whereas the proud person is caved in around himself, the humble person leaves the black hole of self-regard and enters into reality. In our Gospel for today, Jesus tells us a great story that’s right to this point.

She's been doing a great job helping the @mainegop get social media influence. Is she on X? If you google 'Maine Student Mock Elections 2024' - the kids voted overwhelmingly AGAINST Kamala.

We need to promote more youth

I’m so glad for this marvellous girl. But it was a close call, as she explains.

A trans person murdered praying Christians, and the Democrats' response was to attack prayer and defend the trans community. It was a classic Leftist victim/perpetrator reversal. They associated the victims of a horrific tragedy—praying children—with their political opposition.

I wasn’t planned—at least not by my parents. In fact, I was conceived out of wedlock, the result of what some would call a one-night stand. By all human logic, I wasn’t “supposed” to be here. But here’s the truth: while my parents didn’t plan me, God did.

My life was in His hands before I ever took my first breath. And the same is true for you. Your life is not an accident. You were created with purpose, with intention, and with love.

That’s one of the reasons I’m so deeply committed to being pro-life. Because every child, no matter the circumstances of their conception, is known, valued, and planned by God.

Let me explain what that means…
