In 29 days, we will celebrate the 250th birthday of our exceptional nation, which became the greatest of all because we were the first to declare the self-evident truth that all people are created equal by God.
Not “born equal.” We are “CREATED equal.”
Because God made us all in His image, it means EVERY SINGLE PERSON has inestimable DIGNITY and VALUE—and our value is not related in any way to the color of our skin, what zip code we live in, what our talents are, our health condition, or any other factor. Our value is inherent, because it is given to us by our loving Heavenly Father.
When a culture devolves to the point of depravity where “influencers” can go online and so casually dismiss the deliberate murder of their own precious child, the survival of that culture itself is at risk.
God have mercy on our nation as we pray and work for an end to this evil, for hearts and minds to change, and for a renewed understanding of the self-evident truths and the sanctity of all human life.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
I intentionally stepped back from a lot of political commentary content - Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, the whole podcast circuit.
Not because I can’t handle opposing views, but because I started paying attention to what it was doing to my mind.
Psychologically, that type of content trains you in ways most people don’t notice.
It conditions the brain toward constant emotional stimulation - outrage, shock, urgency. Over time, you don’t just consume information, you start needing intensity just to feel engaged. That’s not clarity, that’s conditioning.
It also fragments thinking. Instead of slow, structured reasoning, everything becomes reactionary. You stop processing ideas and start responding to triggers.
And perhaps most dangerous, it strengthens threat perception. You begin to see patterns of danger everywhere, even when you’re just being fed commentary designed to keep your attention locked.
At that point, you’re not thinking - you’re being pulled.
Biblically, the standard is much higher than just “be informed.”
“Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23)
That’s not poetic language. That’s instruction. What you repeatedly allow into your mind doesn’t just inform your worldview - it shapes your decisions, your emotions, and your direction.
“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2)
Renewal requires space. You don’t renew a mind that’s constantly being stimulated and pulled into reaction cycles.
“Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely… think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8)
That filters more than just content - it filters the spirit of what you consume.
This isn’t about pretending certain voices don’t exist. It’s about refusing to let any voice - right, left, or independent - train your mind into dependency on chaos for stimulation.
Information should sharpen you, not hijack you.
I know I know, I'm gonna come off like a backward, simpleminded Bible-thumper for saying this. But the Bible literally has the solution to all of these problems. And what's sad is how much of the evangelical expert class derives a living from denying this fact.
From an evangelical perspective there is a paradoxical aspect to the issue of one’s awareness or assurance of salvation: one may doubt his salvation because he feels unworthy, but ironically, that’s not humility, because our salvation depends not on our works but Christ’s finished work.
By doubting yourself you’re actually distrusting Him, which, by definition is antithetical to faith. So if that is an obstacle, one must get over himself and authentically trust Him.
The paradox is that doubting your adequacy for salvation should lead you to full surrender and trust in Him because it should clarify to you that you can never save yourself.
So untether your awareness of your inability to save yourself from your stubborn pride in trying to do it anyway. Use your sober awareness of your inadequacy to drive you to Him —not away from Him.
@MattWalshBlog It's just a technology. Millions aren't going to lose their jobs over it. Jobs are not a fixed number. Technology always increases production, therefore growing the pie.
“The economy is not a fixed pie, it’s a garden and technology is rain”
There is always more work to be done.
You're right bro, Christianity brainwashed me. I want to spend the rest of my life with one person, pray for those who hate me, forgive easily, raise a beautiful family, stay away from gossip, and find true purpose in Jesus.
Woe to that narrow and self-absorbed soul that is always fearful, and because of fear has no time to love and to go generously forward.
O my God! I know it is your wish that the heart that loves you should be broad and free!
