If you've been hearing about Critical Race Theory but you're not sure what it is, this video is a great place to start. Especially if you're a Christian, you need to watch this.
It's really remarkable how these three men from very different theological perspectives (one is actually an agnostic!) have come together to warn people about this dangerous ideology infecting our society. I honestly believe God, in His kindness, is behind it.
"Treating women with contempt is what teaches people to treat them with even more contempt. And calling women back to their appointed place as the glory of one man is not that kind of contempt, however much it might distress some people."

It's becoming more and more obvious to me that Wokeism is Marxism reincarnated. The main difference is that Marxism focused on class, while Wokeism focuses on race.
Both obtain their power by focusing on past wrongs. Marxism became popular because real, crushing poverty was common in the world a century ago, and some of the wealthy really did abuse their power. Likewise, Wokeism focuses on real injustices done to minorities.
And both, in the end, are man-centered religions. They preach that salvation comes from the works of man. We do need salvation from our sins, but it can only come from Christ. Every false religion, including Marxism and Wokeism, puts people in bondage. Christ sets us free.
If you haven't heard, Canadian pastor James Coates is in jail for holding church services in defiance of COVID edicts. I'm sure he's busy starting a prison ministry from the inside...
"Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear." (Phil 1:12-14)

According to Matt Braynard, an in-depth analysis shows that the number of illegally-cast ballots in 2020 was larger than the margin of victory in several states including PA, GA, and WI. No one knows who these ballots were cast for--only that they should not have been counted, but were. As a result, the rightful winner of the 2020 election may never be known.
DAY 23 - Pastor Joshua
"People are looking for answers and asking why China is having a revival when they are not. The answer is very simple. The leadership in China is fervently seeking after God in prayer."
USA friends: contact your representatives in Congress, and pray, pray, pray.
Our freedom of religion is under direct assault this week.

China is persecuting the church and building the biggest roadways in history.
Anything about that sentence remind you of the spread of the Gospel under the Roman Empire?

Petition for Disney to re-hire Gina Carano:
The iron hand it ain't no match for the iron rod,
The strongest wall will crumble and fall to a mighty God.
For all those who have eyes and all those who have ears
It is only He who can reduce me to tears.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
For like a thief in the night, He'll replace wrong with right
When He returns.
- Bob Dylan

Purdue was one of the top engineering schools that my youngest son was looking at. He applied and was accepted. Purdue would have been cheaper and closer to family - but when we visited and saw the aggressive racial division supported by faculty on campus - he said NO.
He felt the same towards Cornell and Dartmouth.
We could NOT be happier with his decision.
So glad he chose Montana State University.
And Bonus - the head of the Engineering Department at MSU is a believer, ready to help BTJ, and took us out shooting a few days ago....so there's that....

In the history of the world, we have seen economic systems which primarily aim to make *everyone* richer, and secondarily make the the poor better off. And we have seen systems which primarily aim (or at least claim to try) to make the poor better off, but actually make everyone poorer.
But we have never seen a system which makes equality of outcome its goal which actually benefitted the poor, in real terms, over the long run.
So, that Time Magazine piece shocked a lot of us in how openly it discussed how the deck was stacked against Trump in the election. But Doug Wilson has taken it a step further and identified why it was written:
"What happened in this last election was widespread enough, flagrant enough, and obvious enough that it cannot really be kept out of the hands of competent historians. At some point in the foreseeable future, a definitive and honest account really will be written, and this article is designed to have a “proper and approved” narrative lined up beforehand. “We have always acknowledged, and quite openly, that we did thus and such. Jeffrey T. Morehouse’s book is yesterday’s newspaper. Yawn.""
Pray for our friends in Myanmar and our leader, Dr. David Joy. They are experiencing a coup. Pray for the Lord to shine brighter! From Fox news, the military actually did something due to voter fraud in their November election: "Myawaddy TV, which is controlled by the military, announced the takeover and cited a section of the military-drafted constitution due to-voter fraud in last November's election and its failure to postpone the election because of the coronavirus crisis."
There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: 'Mine! '
