    C.S. Lewis wrote his father about the young Communists he encountered at Oxford. His words remain hauntingly appropriate today, as we continue to see boys on the Far Left, and now also the Alt-Right, play at wicked accelerationist schemes:

    Cohabitation before marriage leads to higher divorce rates. (But that’s fact, not opinion.)

    What's your unpopular opinion about marriage that will get you in this position?

    This is dumb, dumb, double-dumby, dumb, dumb. The location of the Holy Sepulchre was so widely known that Emperor Hadrian considered all the Christian pilgrims a nuisance and built a Temple to Venus atop it to attempt to deter them.

    If the Romans disposed of Jesus' body, the location was unknown. If his family buried him, it would not be in Jerusalem. If the Sanhedrin, he would be unmarked in a criminal's graveyard. Joseph of Arimathea was a literary device created to fill an awkward plot hole. #goodfriday

    Um. If you are a man with a porn addiction, I do not recommend standing before the Judgement Seat of Christ and pleading “the wife didn’t put out enough.” Man up and go to confession. Then “love your wife as Christ loves the church, and gave Himself up for her.”

    Wives are God's main weapon against porn addiction in men and need to be reminded of the dignity of that role. A thriving sex life is a tremendous spiritual help to a husband.

    Urgent prayers please for our littlest. She suffered a seizure. We are at the emergency room now. Lord, have mercy.

    I should give an update. Prayers were for my wife and our unborn child. God answered our prayers by taking our “Nugget” home to Himself. This is not our first loss to miscarriage, but it is still hard. The physical recovery remains painful for my beloved.

    I’ve never vagueposted before. But tonight I have an urgent, private request. Siblings in Christ, please pray for God’s peace and healing for someone.

    Me and every other pastor, trying in vain to explain to parents the actual reason why their child apostatized when they left for college (it wasn’t the liberal professors):

    The Episcopal Chapel of the Transfiguration might have the most stunning setting of any church in America.

    Prayers, please, for my sister and her unborn baby’s safety. She is nine months pregnant, has Covid, and the winter storm in Virginia knocked out power and heat. Indoor temperature is down to 49°. Roads are still impassable, stores all closed. Lord, have mercy.

    Please pray for my wife, Emily. The ectopic pregnancy is not resolving itself; the incomplete miscarriage risks her health. She is receiving care in the emergency room. The situation is not dire, but we pray for swift healing all the same.

    There is an actual Christian denomination in the US that has a higher per capita percentage of adult converts than Mormons: The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

    We had a scary moment with our littlest saint last night. She woke up in terrible pain, saying: “Tummy need bandaid!” A trip to the ER provides no answers. She is home now, but we’ll be doing more testing in the days to come. Please pray for our sweet little one.

    Oh, it’s “gatekeeping” to require belief in Christ’s literal resurrection to be Christian? Let me tell you about the Man who said, “I am the Gate.”
