I am weak, but He is strong

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Another point about our cultural decline. We started watching the show Widow’s Bay. It’s really good. Fantastic writing. Perfect blend of comedy and horror. Last night’s episode was legitimately one of the finest episodes of television I’ve seen in years.

If this same exact show came out in 2002, we’d probably remember it as an all time classic. But in 2026 most people haven’t even heard of it. It’s a blip on the radar. Another piece of content in the endless sea. You see it, or you don’t, and then it’s forgotten.

It’s not that good stuff isn’t made anymore. It’s that even when good stuff is made, we don’t have any shared experience of it. There’s plenty of good music you can find on Spotify, recent stuff, but you experience it in your little algorithmic silo. Almost nothing breaks containment to become a bonafide cultural phenomenon. That’s what made Project Hail Mary so unique. Severance maybe also achieved escape velocity. But even in those cases the escape is fleeting.

For the most part we experience the culture through the narrow pathway constructed for us by the algorithm. It might intersect with other people’s pathways, but only briefly. When we feel nostalgia for the Before Times, this is why. It’s not simply that we had a “better” culture back in the 90s or whenever. It’s that we had a culture at all.

Heartbroken.

@timkellernyc is one of the greatest men I’ve ever known. Godly, humble, wise, encouraging. I am thankful to God for how he has changed my life for the better with his friendship, his counsel, and his example.

Statement by President George W. Bush on Timothy J. Keller:

"Tim Keller was one of America’s foremost Christian thinkers and preachers. He was a great church builder, a prolific author, and a profound philosopher. I’m fortunate to have gotten to know him. And I’m one of many who is blessed to have learned from Dr. Keller’s teachings and benefited from his compassion. Laura and I wish Kathy and their children peace."

@deancain Its so crazy and ridiculous

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Put your little story about what people have done to you into the big story of what Jesus did for you, and you’ll have the power you need to forgive rather than be twisted by anger and to seek justice rather than revenge.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

The reason people can know the gospel and not change their lives is because they think forgiveness is cheap.

Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish.

Christianity isn't something you add. It is an explosion that changes everything you had.

@BookOProverbs Its just God = all u need

God always works through the men nobody wanted, and through the women nobody wanted.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Technology has, in an enhanced way, given mockers a platform to set society on fire with polarizing speech. Internet culture privileges those whose insults are click bait. It disadvantages the civil, respectful, patient dialogue that brings a diverse people together.

@patsajak Also, demonizing those who won't engage in demonizing with them. The demonization itself has become the divide.
