Our culture is good at accusing and bad at forgiving. Others minimize sin as if it never mattered. The gospel does neither. It takes our guilt seriously enough to require the cross and offers forgiveness complete enough to give us a new beginning. That’s grace.

I normally do not post to social media on the Lord’s Day, but the unspeakably evil intrusion of a leftist mob into a Christian worship service today in Minneapolis must be called out for what it is—and Federal authorities should be fast and effective in response.
Just traded in my car for a Tesla.
Time to put my money where my free speech is.
Deeply appreciative to @elonmusk and the entire team at X and Tesla and SpaceX for inspiring a generation to build new things and save old things that were lost; like space travel and US manufacturing and independent journalism.
The team at @Tesla made the trade-in experience seamless and I’m blown away by the tech inside these vehicles. Excited for my vehicle delivery soon.
2025 was the year we saved Western Civilization. Onward 🚀🇺🇸
Algorithms and the Affections
John Piper (Nov. 2025): “If you had thought that your essence of humanness in the image of God was your reasoning capacity, over an ape or a porpoise, you’re in trouble. Because, guess what? ChatGPT is smarter than you are and more creative than you are in expressing things in language that is good. It can write prayers better than you can, and it can reason through hard problems better than you can. Therefore, there are people who are going to forsake the faith because they thought to be a human in the image of God was to be a reasoning person over against the animals, and they discovered a machine can do it better than they can. Crisis of faith. This to me is no crisis because of my Christian Hedonism. I do not think that my reasoning capacities are my essence. I think the soul’s capacity to delight in God is my essence. The soul’s capacity to enjoy God. No machine will ever enjoy, period. It will have the language of enjoyment. You can tell it to write a poem of enjoyment and it will use the language. That machine is not enjoying *her*. It’s not. It never will. Only human beings created in the image of God can enjoy God. Therefore, enjoyment matters. I mean, affections are who we are ultimately. The end of history, the end of creation, is not going to be merely rational creatures thinking rightly about God, little computers. It’s going to be people who are so perceptive spiritually of the glories of God that they are full of affections that are appropriate for those glories and can give expression to them. That’s what eternity will be.”

Pastor: “Your child needs to be at church. It benefits them, & the faith family. Commitment matters.”
