🚨“WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Office Members, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is SAFE and SOUND!” - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸
Is God’s law merely moral advice—or the creational structure that holds all things together?
In Think Christianly About Law (Pt. 1), Nate Wright, Joe Boot, & Michael Thiessen argue that God’s law orders creation, all law is religious (never neutral), and removing God divinizes the state. Recover the courage to speak God’s Word publicly.

.@SECWAR "If I may offer a few observation: Protecting the God-given life of an unborn baby is not political – it is BIBLICAL.
Protecting our borders from criminals who steal from us, assault our loved ones, and poison our citizens is not political – it is BIBLICAL.
Protecting women and children from being trafficked for sexual slavery is not political – it is BIBLICAL.
Standing guard over our children rather than letting them be taught perverse sexual practices or sharing a locker room with someone of the opposite sex is not political – it is BIBLICAL.
Protecting our culture and our religion from godless ideologies and pagan religions is not political – it is BIBLICAL."
impiety towards God is the true and proper cause of every disorder among men
O the short-sightedness of human wisdom, to hope to prevent the effect, and yet nourish the cause!
—Witherspoon
He was DEFEATED ELEVEN TIMES.
Attacked. Threatened with DEATH. Nearly blind.
Addicted to opium just to function. They told him to stop. He spent forty-six years refusing.
His name was William Wilberforce. Born in Hull, 1759.
He could have lived a comfortable life. Wealthy family. Safe seat in Parliament.
Instead he chose to destroy the most powerful economic system in the British Empire.
The slave trade.
He didn't fight alone. Thomas Clarkson rode 35,000 miles gathering evidence.
Olaudah Equiano, man who had been enslaved himself, gave testimony that no politician could ignore.
Wilberforce took their evidence to Parliament.
They voted no. He came back. They voted no. He came back. Lost by eight votes.
MPs deliberately stayed away so they wouldn't have to choose a side.
He came back. Again. And again. And again.
By now his eyesight was nearly gone. His body was breaking. He'd been on opium since he was 29.
Twenty years after he started, they voted again.
283 to 16.
The slave trade was abolished.
But he wasn't finished. Slavery itself was still legal. He fought for another twenty-six years.
In July 1833, lying in bed, barely able to move, he received word. Parliament had voted. Slavery was abolished across the entire British Empire.
Three days later, William Wilberforce died.
He held on just long enough.
They buried him in Westminster Abbey.
