If all it takes to get the church to stop talking about a topic is to relabel it as political…we’re doomed.

Joe Rogan can't seem to escape Christians, as the lead singer for the band 'The Red Clay Strays' talks about his faith in God and how the band stays together, by serving each other as Christ would want them to.

What Christians are experiencing in Nigeria is devastating!

More Christians are killed in Nigeria than in the rest of the world combined.

125,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria since 2009.

Stop being Switzerland

[Anna Lulis @annamlulis]

This is the exact moment human life begins.

In a single instant, an egg is fertilized to create a genetic code that has never existed before.

It’s silent. Invisible to the naked eye.

Yet it’s the first spark of a new human being—uniquely made in the image of God.

If you knew you only had a life of 31 years like Charlie or 56 years like Voddie how much harder would you go for the Lord?

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

The Bible isn’t outdated. Sin just got more accepted.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

I'm thinking I should pay more attention to politics. Not looking forward to this, but it seems important.

[Alisa Childers @alisa_childers]

Christian, if you haven't realized it yet, you are in a war. Sitting it out is not an option. Take up your weapons. Fight lies with truth. Live a disciplined, obedient life. Preach the gospel and make disciples. Read the Bible and pray. This is how we fight.

[Sadie @Sadie_NC]

The left says both sides need to tone down the rhetoric.

Their rhetoric:
Facist
Nazi
Racist
Domestic Terrorists

Our Rhetoric:
Love God
Love Country
Love each other

We need more of our rhetoric.

[End Wokeness @EndWokeness]

George Floyd dies during an arrest:
$2+ BILLION of property damage
200 federal buildings damaged
2,000+ police officers injured
At least 25 Americans kiIIed

Charlie Kirk kiIIed in cold bIood:
0 rioting, 0 looting, 0 injuries
Peaceful vigils and prayer
$0 in property damage
0 Americans kiIIed

WE. ARE. NOT. THE. SAME.

If your sex results in a child, you absolutely do not get to kill that human being in the womb

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

I'm watching Charlie Kirk's memorial service.

It finally dawned on my why it is so important that the Left lie about us.

Our message is one of peace, love, equality of opportunity, tolerance, inclusion, justice and liberty. It is a message that--when objectively understood--no decent American can help but embrace.

That embrace is what the Left fears. They know they must distort our message, otherwise they would have virtually no followers.

That is why they must pretend we are racist, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic, bigoted, fascist Nazis.

If they don't lie about us, they lose everything.

[Dr. David Wood @Acts17David]

TYLER ROBINSON: "The things Charlie Kirk said are unforgivable, so I murdered him!"

LEFTISTS: "Yes! He deserved to die! Hahaha!"

ERIKA KIRK: "Tyler murdered my husband, but I forgive him."

CHRISTIANS: "Yes! He doesn't deserve forgiveness, but neither do we."

Beliefs matter.

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

If you watch one thing today, let it be this — the truly remarkable display of grace and compassion from Mrs. Erika Kirk as she forgives her husband's assassin because that's what Christ would do.

We love you, Erika.

Incredible take.

The War Is Not Cultural, It’s Religious

For years, I misunderstood the battle lines. I thought we were fighting a culture war—a clash of values, politics, and social norms. As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I had little interest in that fight. My calling was to spread the Gospel, not to win cultural debates. But I was wrong. I made a categorical error. What I saw as cultural or political was often something deeper: religious.
Religions offer comprehensive worldviews—lenses that shape how people see every issue, from morality to justice. I now believe much of what we label as "cultural" or "political" in public debates is, in fact, religious. This realization has reshaped my approach to engaging in the public square. Three convictions guide me: Leftism functions as a religion, the New Testament provides a clear strategy for confronting false religions, and Christians must hold one another accountable to oppose its spread.

Leftism as a Religion
Leftism, as I use the term, is not merely a political stance or cultural trend. It is a worldview with dogmatic beliefs, rituals, and moral imperatives that rival traditional religions. Like a religion, it offers a vision of ultimate purpose—social utopia through ideological conformity—and demands loyalty to its tenets, often punishing dissent with social ostracism or worse. This became starkly clear after the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk, a conservative commentator known for peacefully debating his views. The response was telling. Liberal voices like Ezra Klein and Bill Maher, while not Christians, praised Kirk’s approach to dialogue, with Klein writing, “Charlie Kirk was Practicing Politics the Right Way” and Maher chastising leftists, saying, “You're what's wrong with this country.” Yet, across social media, many on the far left celebrated Kirk’s death—a husband and father targeted for his beliefs. This wasn’t just political disagreement; it was a zealous, almost ritualistic rejection of an ideological heretic. Such fervor suggests a religious devotion, not a mere policy dispute.

The New Testament’s Call to Confront False Religions
How should Christians respond to such a worldview? The New Testament offers guidance. In 2 Corinthians 10:5, Paul writes, “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” This is not a call to silence or violence but to boldly challenge ideas that oppose the truth of Christ. Staying silent out of fear of offending adherents of a false religion—or being labeled “too political”—is not an option. Imagine if Islam or another faith were captivating millions of young Americans, yet Christian leaders refused to speak out, worried about alienating potential converts or appearing divisive. We’d call that cowardice. Yet many Christian leaders have done exactly this with Leftism, treating it as a cultural or political issue rather than a rival worldview that shapes hearts and minds. Silence has allowed its influence to grow unchecked, particularly among the young.

The Need for Christian Accountability
This brings me to a painful realization: we must call out fellow Christians who shrink from this fight. After Kirk’s murder, a respected Christian leader posted, “It's OK for Christians to lose the Culture War. It was never our war to begin with. We were called to create a countercultural community of love, unity, and faithfulness to Jesus.” I once shared this view, but I now see it as a misdiagnosis. By framing the conflict as merely cultural, we avoid confronting its religious nature. This mindset discourages Christians from engaging with the urgency Paul describes. We are not called to retreat into isolated communities but to contend for truth in the public square. This doesn’t mean adopting the world’s tactics—anger, division, or violence—but speaking with clarity and courage, as Paul did, to expose falsehoods and point to Christ. Failing to do so risks abandoning millions to a worldview that promises salvation but delivers bondage.

A Path Forward
I don’t claim to have all the answers, and I recognize that labeling Leftism a “religion” may provoke disagreement. Some might argue it’s still a political movement, best addressed through dialogue or voting, not spiritual confrontation. Others may caution that focusing on this fight distracts from evangelism or risks alienating those we’re called to reach. These are valid concerns, but they don’t negate the need to name and challenge a worldview that rivals the Gospel’s claims. The path forward is not easy. It requires discernment to engage without malice, boldness to speak without fear, and humility to listen without compromising. We must build communities that model Christ’s love while equipping men and women to confront false ideologies with truth. The war is not cultural—it’s religious. And as disciples of Jesus, we’re called to fight it with the weapons of grace, truth, and especially now, courage.
