The wages of sin is death,we sinned and earned the death sentence,"but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us"—Rm.5:8

[Derek Perez @Derekperez08]

We're all wicked sinners. We've all lied, stolen, committed adultery by looking with lust, and murdered by harnessing hatred in our hearts. But Jesus, God in the flesh, died on the cross and rose again on the third day to save His people from their sin. Repent and trust in Jesus.

A warrant has been issued for your arrest. Officers are en route to your location. Would you continue the party? Would you return to your game, your entertainment, your idle conversation? Wouldn't your mirth be ruined? Wouldn't you be waiting for the knock with bated breath? That's death apart from Christ. It's coming. The messenger is already on the road. Blessed is the man who is prepared to meet his God. Are you ready, friend?

This act of going to a church and bringing your Muslim prayer rug is a spiritual assault on the church.

It’s not just ecumenical (which would be evil). It’s one more step on the path of Jihad. A path that ends with Islamic oppression.

I suspect we have 200+ children under the age of 12 in our congregation, and among those, probably around 100 under the age of 3, which means that between our two services, there is lively discourse from all four corners of our sanctuary.

This past Lord’s Day worship was filled with the sound of a host of them making joyful noises. Some folks hear that and think “distraction.” The Bible hears that and thinks “warfare.”

James B. Jordan once observed that children in worship are not interruptions to the liturgy, but part of the liturgy itself. They are covenantal participants in the praise of God. Their voices matter because God delights to use weak things to shame the strong. I think it was also Jim who once stated that every time a child cries in church, a demon loses its wings.

Psalm 8 is not sentimental about children. It is militant:
“Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies, that You may silence the enemy and the avenger” (Ps. 8:2, NKJV).

The praises of children are one of God’s chosen weapons against the kingdom of darkness. The worship space is a sanctified nursery, and that space is not a neutral zone. It is an armory. The squeals, whispers, cries, and little amens are reminders that the Church is alive and that God's covenant promises continue from generation to generation.

For those of us in the CREC, a church with no children is far more frightening than a church with noisy children. In fact, I'd be more uncomfortable preaching in a silent building. Children's sounds have become my background music for each sermon.

The modern world prefers sterile silence. The Kingdom of God sounds more like a family meal. It sounds like inheritance. It sounds like future generations learning, however imperfectly, to join the song of the saints.

So yes, there was an angelic host of little ones making noise throughout worship this past Sunday. And every one of those noises was a small declaration that the enemies of God will not inherit the earth. The little ones are already learning to psalm before they can fully speak. The foe and avenger should be deeply troubled.

You don’t drift into holiness. You drift into sin.

This poor girl was dead within a year. We had tried many times to point her to Christ. Sober reminder that tomorrow isn't promised to any of us. Are you right with God through faith in Jesus Christ? "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."

Homeschooling, in a nutshell, is refusing to outsource your child's formation to strangers with a curriculum you didn't choose.

“You used to go to hell for eating meat on Fridays, but 60 years ago the Pope decided that eating meat on Fridays is no big deal actually. Sucks for anyone who went to hell for doing it before, but what can you do? I love the 2000 year old unbroken tradition of the Church”

For the past five years, I have been working on building a company I truly believe has the power to disrupt Hollywood and empower indie artists.

It’s called LOOR TV, pronounced like “Folklore.”

The goal is simple:

Allow pure indie creators to pitch their dream projects directly to paying monthly subscribers.

Instead of the monthly subscription dollars going to executives who control gatekeeping and influence, we let the monthly subscribers fund indie artists directly. Our focus is on good stories that mainstream Hollywood would reject.

Your monthly subscription converts into weekly amounts of our own in-game-style currency, which creators can cash out to fund their projects. When a project is fully funded and completed, it streams on the platform. Of course, you can always directly fund artists without a monthly subscription. The point is that the audience builds the streaming library. The audience is the rightful gatekeeper.

We’ve proven this patronage streaming model allows us to make more money per subscriber than Netflix or Disney+ can per month.

It also gives us the least risk of any entertainment company because all content is funded by the audience, not multi-million-dollar checks written by executives making big bets in advance.

Our company profits via each transaction. Exactly like most video game currency stores. Gamification brings in more revenue than Hollywood. And younger generations are familiar with how that works already.

The goal is not to make multi-million-dollar box office films, but to incubate a new underground counterculture to Hollywood. The same indie culture that built MTV, Channel 101, and Adult Swim. It gives new artists, whether they are traditional or AI filmmakers, animators, comedians, or video game designers, a way to pitch their projects directly to real people, not algorithms. A way for artists to retain creative control.

We’ve been testing this for a while. Our CEO, Shon Tomlin, built FUEL TV for Fox Cable Networks and is no stranger to indie filmmaking and monetizing subcultures.

I truly believe this is the way forward: directly putting people who love films in front of people who love making them, and letting the audience choose where their money goes.

We’re very early and have lots of plans for how to use this new gamified streaming platform. We have an incredible team, but we need help spreading the word and proving that people believe in this model so we can raise capital to focus on scaling this full-time.

Here’s a preview of everything we’ve premiered and pitched to our audience so far. We are just getting started.

[Marcus Pittman @ImKingGinger]

The problem is not that Netflix, HBO, Disney, and Paramount are returning things back to Cable TV, it's worse because they are returning us back to Antenna TV with only four channels.

If I stay home and raise my own children I am a loser and not ambitious

But if I hire and pay another woman to raise and take care of my children for me than I am an empowered woman

If that same woman stayed home with her children she would be a loser

But if she takes care of my children she is not

If we both switched and raised each others children for a paycheck we would be successful ambitious girl bosses

But if we do it for our own children we are losers
