CNN: “Este é um imigrante sem documentos...”
Miller: “Eles estavam aqui ILEGALMENTE?”
CNN: “Quero que esta seja uma discussão de boa-fé...”
Miller: “Quando você usa uma linguagem feita para ocultar a verdade, isso NÃO é boa-fé. Um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL é um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL. Eles não são ‘imigrantes sem documentos’.”
CNN: “Stephen, estamos tentando humanizar o debate...”
Miller: “Humanizar? Então vamos humanizar o Código Penal também. O assaltante de banco passa a ser ‘especialista em retirada sem agendamento prévio’. O estelionatário vira ‘empreendedor de narrativas financeiras alternativas’. O cara que entra na sua casa sem convite é só um ‘visitante com documentação pendente’. Que tal?”
CNN: “Isso é uma analogia grosseira.”
Miller: “Grosseira é fingir que a lei federal some porque a redação da CNN inventou um eufemismo mais fofo. ‘Sem documentos’ soa como alguém que esqueceu a carteira no Uber. Não. É alguém que cruzou a fronteira sem autorização, ficou, e agora a imprensa trata o estatuto jurídico como se fosse uma questão de estilo de escrita.”
CNN: “Mas muitos contribuem para a economia...”
Miller: “Ah, o argumento clássico: o crime deixa de ser crime se a pessoa lava prato ou constrói telhado. Pelo mesmo critério, o contrabandista de cigarro também ‘contribui’, gera emprego no transporte. Quer que a gente chame ele de ‘empreendedor logístico informal’? A CNN topa?”
CNN: “Você está polarizando.”
Miller: “Não. Eu estou recusando o dicionário de marketing. Vocês mudam a palavra, depois acusam quem usa o termo legal de ser ‘desumano’. É o truque mais velho do livro: primeiro suaviza o vocabulário, depois declara vitória moral. Os Estados Unidos já cansaram desse teatro. Chamem o que é. Ou admitam que o objetivo nunca foi clareza — foi controle da narrativa.”
In my (repeated) experience as a pastor, the people most likely to complain about classical or creedal Christian theology being too "intellectual" or "impractical" is the educated middle-class, especially those raised in broader evangelicalism.
By contrast, undereducated or "blue-collar" Christians seem to more often readily grasp and rejoice in the riches of our Christian tradition.
My working hypothesis is that the former group has been taught to view Christianity as primarily about being good and feeling good. Their opposition to classical Christian doctrine isn't a genuine concern about intellectualism, rather, they've confused moralistic therapeutic deism for actual Christianity.
I was encouraged to find that Trueman has drawn similar conclusions:
"Swaths of modern Christianity have been shaped by moralistic therapeutic deism. This is not so much a set of intellectual commitments as a mood. It makes God a therapist, the gospel a means of serving personal needs, and a sense of individual happiness and well-being here and now, not glorifying God and enjoying him forever, as its chief end. Classical theology is incompatible with this philosophy. It does not answer our immediate needs but stands prior to them and in judgment over them. It demands that we understand ourselves in terms of God, not that God accommodate himself to our felt needs and desires."
Though we must add that the wonderful good news is that enjoying God as God is what meets our real end as creatures, our true needs and desires.
In recognition of his distinguished tenure, the Board of Trustees, at the unanimous recommendation of the faculty, has conferred upon Dr. Clark the honorable status of Emeritus Professor of Church History and Historical Theology.

WEST MEMPHIS BROTHERS BUSTED AFTER POLICE SHUT DOWN ILLEGAL POSSUM FIGHT CLUB... AND YES, PEOPLE PAID TO WATCH...
WEST MEMPHIS, AR — We've officially found the only thing in Crittenden County capable of making Walmart look classy.
West Memphis Police say they thought they were responding to reports of suspicious screaming coming from an old storage building behind a vacant tire shop. Instead, officers walked into what can only be described as the SEC Championship of Bad Decisions.
According to investigators, brothers Dewayne "Scooter" McClendon and Ricky Dale McClendon were arrested Friday night after allegedly operating an underground possum fighting ring that had somehow become one of the hottest tickets in West Memphis.
Admission was reportedly $5, or FREE if you brought a folding chair and promised not to call Animal Control.
Deputies say the "arena" consisted of a circle made from empty pickle jars and busted beer cans, complete with a hand-painted banner reading:
"POSSUMPALOOZA 2026 - Where Champions Play Dead."
The fight card reportedly featured legendary competitors including:
Sir Hiss-A-Lot
Mississippi Mike
Dumpster Debbie
Whatever Ricky Caught Behind Popeyes 20 Minutes Ago
The investigation began after neighbors complained about "violent screeching, excessive cheering, and someone repeatedly yelling, 'HE'S FAKIN' IT!'"... which, as it turns out, is exactly what possums do.
When officers entered the building, they discovered nearly 30 spectators, four coolers full of cheap beer, a folding table serving as the betting counter, and one possum proudly wearing a championship belt made from duct tape, a dog collar, and what appeared to be an expired Bass Pro Shops gift card.
Police say the biggest problem with the operation wasn't the gambling...
It was that the possums refused to cooperate.
Apparently every match ended about 12 seconds in when both contestants dramatically fell over and played dead.
Several angry bettors reportedly demanded refunds, insisting they'd "seen more action waiting in line at the DMV."
When questioned, Scooter allegedly told officers:
"We ain't breakin' no laws... we're preservin' Southern heritage."
His brother Ricky Dale reportedly added:
"Besides... they was volunteers."
Authorities weren't convinced.
Both brothers now face charges including animal cruelty, illegal gambling, and operating an unlicensed concession stand after officers discovered they had been selling boiled peanuts and nachos out of what investigators described as "a heavily modified leaf blower."
As for the possums...
Wildlife officials safely released them into the woods, where they're expected to make a full recovery just as soon as they finish pretending to be dead for the next six to eight business days.
Only in West Memphis could somebody lose fifty bucks betting on an animal whose entire fighting strategy is taking a nap.

Our hearts ache as we announce the passing of John Kinsel Sr., a cherished elder and one of the immortal Navajo Code Talkers. At 107, he leaves behind a legacy of unbreakable bravery forged in the fires of Bougainville, Guam, and Iwo Jima. From 1942 to 1946, as a U.S. Marine, he wielded his sacred language, the uncrackable code, to weave the vital communications that defied the enemy and tipped the scales of World War II.
A Muslim preacher in Britain vows to abuse British children until they convert to Islam. During this lecture, he describes Islam’s systematic mental and physical torture aimed to traumatize children of Christians and Jews to the point they would rather convert or take their own lives.

⚠️ WARNING TO TRUMP: IRAN doesn't want PEACE, they want TIME
Every deal they sign is the ancient Islamic strategy of Al-Hudaybiyyah: a calculated pause to rearm, regroup, and strike when you least expect it. Used for 1,400 years to lull enemies into a false sense of security before the kill.
Mohammed. Arafat. Iran. Same strategy, different century.
You cannot negotiate with a regime that has already decided you are the enemy. Finish the job.
From Christian Homes to Slave Markets: 4.5 Million African Christians Brutally Enslaved in 2026:
While the world keeps obsessing over slavery from centuries ago, millions of Christians are being kidnapped, bought, and sold right now in Africa yet almost no one is talking about it.
Africa has 7 million people trapped in modern slavery.
4.5 million of them are Christians.
Among the victims: 2.4 million Christian women & girls
1 million Christian children
An average slave is sold for just $90.
Worst affected Christian populations: Nigeria: 1.611 million slaves (45-50% Christian)
DR Congo: 407,000 slaves (90-95% Christian)
South Sudan: 115,000 slaves (60-70% Christian)
These are Christian believers people who follow Jesus, read the Bible, and live their faith being ripped from their homes and communities into forced labor, sexual slavery, and horrific exploitation
Why is there endless discussion about historical slavery, but complete silence on this massive ongoing Christian slavery crisis in 2026 ?
Christian lives are under attack today.
It’s time to break the silence and demand attention for this tragedy.
