Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the United States is one of the most religious countries in the world. We have the freedom to practice any belief we would like, thanks to the Declaration of Independence. American society distinguishes between faith's role in personal life, community, and government, recognizing it as a moral and psychological foundation that influences behavior and promotes civility. Christianity, while the majority faith, does not seek governmental control, allowing faith and reason to coexist and enrich personal and societal development. The Democrats want the opposite, this is why they are losing more support now than ever. In addition, the probe into John Bolton escalated during the Biden administration when U.S. intelligence acquired foreign espionage data indicating he improperly handled classified information. Officials say the case had already progressed independently and reflects a broader inquiry into national security practices. The left is claiming that this investigation is just a political attack, which is rediculous and not surprising. Also, Gov. Gavin Newsom is not the best Governor this country has ever had. California used to be a great state, but the left ran it down and destroyed its economy, the safety, and the ideology of the people with left-wing garbage. Lastly, David Bozell mentions about a poll that 99% of the American people are tired of crime in big cities, especially the blue cities. Bozell also discusses the attack on the Judeo-Christian communities and how the Minneapolis shooting and many other cases are getting out of hand. Learn more about your ad choices.

Job 31:1-33:33, 2 Cor 3:1-18, Ps 43:1-5, Pr 22:8-9
Have you ever walked through a spiritual drought? When life feels dry, doubts weigh heavy, and you wonder if you’ll ever feel God’s presence again? Isaiah 58:11 reminds us that the Lord guides us continually, even in scorched places, and makes us like a well-watered garden. Spiritual fruitfulness doesn’t come from our own striving but from surrendering to God’s leading, satisfaction, and strength. When we allow Him to guide our steps, fill our longings, and strengthen our weary bones, we will find refreshment and renewal—even in the wilderness. In today’s episode, Jessica Van Roekel reminds us that God is our living water, bracing us in weakness and filling us with satisfaction again and again. When we rely on Him, our lives become springs of comfort to others, bearing fruit that points to His glory. Main Takeaways God guides us by turning His face toward us and leading us step by step. His satisfaction is ongoing—He fills us again and again, even in dry seasons. He braces us with strength when we feel like we can’t go on. True fruitfulness flows from surrender to God and blesses others around us. Bible Verse References Isaiah 58:11 – God satisfies us in scorched places and makes us fruitful. 1 Corinthians 10:13 – God provides a way out in temptation. Psalm 1:3 – The faithful are like trees planted by streams of water. Calls to Action (CTAs) Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer for encouragement rooted in God’s Word every morning.

The post “What would Jesus say?” appeared first on Key Life.
OPC pastor Christopher Drew guides us through the monumental 20th chapter of the Westminster Confession of Faith. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UzQzFMXyKA Text: CHAPTER 20 Of Christian Liberty, and Liberty of Conscience 1. The liberty which Christ hath purchased for believers under the gospel consists in their freedom from the guilt of sin, the condemning wrath of God, the curse of the moral law; and, in their being delivered from this present evil world, bondage to Satan, and dominion of sin; from the evil of afflictions, the sting of death, the victory of the grave, and everlasting damnation; as also, in their free access to God, and their yielding obedience unto him, not out of slavish fear, but a childlike love and willing mind. All which were common also to believers under the law. But, under the new testament, the liberty of Christians is further enlarged, in their freedom from the yoke of the ceremonial law, to which the Jewish church was subjected; and in greater boldness of access to the throne of grace, and in fuller communications of the free Spirit of God, than believers under the law did ordinarily partake of. 2. God alone is Lord of the conscience, and hath left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men, which are, in anything, contrary to his Word; or beside it, if matters of faith, or worship. So that, to believe such doctrines, or to obey such commands, out of conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience: and the requiring of an implicit faith, and an absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience, and reason also. 3. They who, upon pretense of Christian liberty, do practice any sin, or cherish any lust, do thereby destroy the end of Christian liberty, which is, that being delivered out of the hands of our enemies, we might serve the Lord without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 4. And because the powers which God hath ordained, and the liberty which Christ hath purchased, are not intended by God to destroy, but mutually to uphold and preserve one another, they who, upon pretense of Christian liberty, shall oppose any lawful power, or the lawful exercise of it, whether it be civil or ecclesiastical, resist the ordinance of God. And, for their publishing of such opinions, or maintaining of such practices, as are contrary to the light of nature, or to the known principles of Christianity (whether concerning faith, worship, or conversation), or to the power of godliness; or, such erroneous opinions or practices, as either in their own nature, or in the manner of publishing or maintaining them, are destructive to the external peace and order which Christ hath established in the church, they may lawfully be called to account, and proceeded against, by the censures of the church.

Segment 1: • Conservative Christianity saw a resurgence decades ago—but pride and inflated opinions fractured it. • The MacArthur Memorial revealed surprising unity with leaders like Piper, raising big questions. • Are we elevating secondary issues to essentials and repeating secular cancel culture? Segment 2: • Scott Aniol's “Conviction and Charity” points toward a healthier future for conservative Christianity. • Tone and tenor matter—we've all felt and likely contributed to the online heat. • G3's pivot could help the local pastor and church recalibrate. Segment 3: • Key question: when do you call out error, and when do you show charity? • Biblical conviction must never fade, but secondary issues shouldn't destroy fellowship. • The church must grow in discernment without weaponizing it. Segment 4: • Theological sharpness is good—but not our identity. • Have we been distracted from our Father's business by endless squabbles? • Unity in Christ must outweigh division over non-essentials. ___ Thanks for listening!

God is a good Father who uses holidays and festivals to disciple His children all throughout the Old Testament. But for some reason these have been lost in modern Christianity. Now, we don't HAVE to celebrate these holidays, Christ fulfills them all, BUT we've found over the past 10+ years that they are a POWERFUL tool to disciple our kids, follow God more closely, and build deep memories that impact us, our kids, and our communities for a lifetime.

For nearly 50 years conservative Christian psychologist Dr. James Dobson influenced countless couples, families, and churches through his globally ubiquitous Focus on the Family broadcasts, books, videos, and lectures. In the immediate aftermath of his death last week at the age of 89, podcasters Fong and Kemp talk openly about the way his influence impacted them and their ministries, the unspeakable harm his teaching did to countless children and queer people, and the little-known fact that it was all shaped by the debunked racist theory of eugenics.

Job 28:1-30:31, 2 Cor 2:12-17, Ps 42:1-11, Pr 22:7
Jane was the last child to receive a handmade blanket from her great grandmother. Pink and blue, festooned with angels and sprinkled with stars that sparkled in the light, the much-loved blanket was the little girl's constant companion.This childhood treasure became even more important when Gramma Ann passed away — a reminder of her love for her family, and her faith in God.Jane's blanket kept her warm in sickness and in health, but the washing machine proved its eventual undoing. One day, the last remaining fragment of Gramma Ann's very last blanket was lost.Ephesians 2:8–9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”A few years after the remaining bit of Jane's ‘Gramma Ann Blankie' was lost to time (but not to memory), her mom stumbled across the best yard sale find of all time: the very same blanket, likely created from a quilting kit, in brand-new condition. Jane and her mother cried together right there in a stranger's driveway, certain that Gramma was smiling down on them from Heaven in that moment of discovery. It was the best two dollars the pair ever spent.Grace can show up when we least expect it—even in the form of a long-lost family heirloom returned to us in the unlikeliest of ways.Let's pray.Lord, your grace is a constant delight. You are faithful to us when we seek Your face, and Your gift of grace shows up in incredible ways. Thank you. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

What links the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and St Peter's in Rome with the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and Canaanland in Ota, Nigeria? These are just some of the churches that Anglican priest and writer the Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie highlights in his new book Twelve Churches: An Unlikely History of the Buildings that made Christianity. The Anglican priest and writer joins Damian Thompson on Holy Smoke to explain how each Church not only tells a story but also raises a surprising dilemma for modern believers.Fergus aims to tell the history of the Churches 'warts and all' and argues that, from Turkey to Britain, today's Christians must be prepared to defend their religious spaces. Also, why is the Church of England one of the worst offenders when it comes to preserving its heritage?

Psalms 42:1-11
Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, joins to discuss the heartbreaking tragedy of the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting and the disturbing rhetoric emerging from the left in its aftermath. They highlight what they see as part of a broader war on Christians, while also addressing the growing mental health crisis fueling the rise of transgenderism in America.
As with the murders of Israeli embassy workers Yaron Lischinsky and Sara Lynn Milgrim in 2025, a story that conveniently ran interference for Israeli soldiers threatening to kill foreign diplomats in the West Bank just hours before, the August 27, 2025, mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School-Church did something similar for another story about Israel twice bombing a hospital the same week, killing patients, aid workers and journalists. The shooter, Robin Westman, was classified by the following political affiliations as such: The political right blamed his trans identity, implying drugs were involved, and accused the political left of inciting the violence because one of the messages written on his equipment included “kill Donald Trump.” The whole of LGBTQ was indicted, and he was referred to as having been “groomed.” The political left blamed the far-right, guns, and Nazism, because among a collection of writings and messages the shooter had scribbled on his equipment phrases like “6 million wasn't enough,” “Israel must fall” and “Jew gas.” He had also spoken of murdering “filthy Zionist Jews” in a video manifesto and wrote in a journal “Free Palestine” using the Cyrillic alphabet. Robin Westman (or Westwoman) also strangely wrote “release the list” next to an upside down cross that we can be assured had nothing to do with St. Peter. On two separate ammo magazines he wrote “suck on this” and “where is your God” respectively. Strangely, it appeared that below the former he drew a bird above the Arabic word “Mashallah.” These details were used as evidence that his influence was Islam, and that Muslims were coming to kill Jews. However true any of the above actually is the fact remains that a supposedly antisemitic mass shooter decided to take his anger about Zionism out on Catholics, and children specifically, at a facility where his mother found employment. Something was seriously wrong with this story. First, the concerns of drugs, hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and radical leftwing rhetoric is a valid concern; but blaming the shooting on “transgenderism” serves no other role than to incite and obfuscate. Second, the accusations of Nazism against Westman by the leftwing seem to be a great example of why you aren't supposed to throw stones in a glass house; isn't the political left perceptually the party of anti-Israel? Third, someone who wants “the list,” presumably of Jeffrey Epstein's clients, released could be motivated by either political bias, or by an anarchial spirit against all organized government. Fourth, the tropes about “6 million” dead Jews and Jews being gassed are nothing but atrocity propaganda and gas lighting in light of the facts. Also, the phrase “Israel will fall” is itself anti-Nazi since the latter helped to establish the former. Fifth, the phrase “Free Palestine” has been associated with nearly every act of public violence in the U.S. since October 7, 2023. Sixth, the idea that this shooter was influenced by Islam makes even less sense if he wrote “where is your God,” unless that phrase was meant to imply that he believed the Christian God was different than Allah, an Arabic word for God; and for added confusion on this point, there are three Abrahamic religions, including Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Seventh, the word “Mashallah” denotes the beauty or greatness of something and is a protective charm against the evil eye; it is especially popular among Arabic Christians. Eighth, why would a kid who grew up in a Christian community, presumably, grow to hate Jews, Israel, and Zionists so bad that he would decide to carry out an act of violence against… Catholic children?Within hours, understandably, the FBI began investigating the incident as an “act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics.” We are to believe the word “Mashallah” indicates his Islamic inspiration, which itself is beyond confusing because the word draws on beauty and peace, not violence. Put another way, a Christian anti-Zionist who hated Jews became a Muslim, though he doesn't actually believe in God, and then killed Catholics.An equally peculiar question can be asked about why someone who wanted to “kill Donald Trump,” a leftist chant, would write supposedly radical, rightwing, Nazi phrases - themselves the modern language of the political left - on their equipment before carrying out a shooting against the Church? It seems clear that the rhetoric here is meant to convince us once again that not only are Muslims terrorists, but godless ones that should be shown no mercy; we are to imagine that Muslims hate Jews and Christians so much they will slaughter their children; the mysterious writing is intended to confuse and obfuscate, creating unclear conditions where emotions override critical thinking; the upside down cross facilitates the subconscious Christian reaction. Even more bizarre is the fact that above the Arabic word “Mashallah”, itself semitic, was what appeared to be a bird drawn on one of the magazines. Birds play a role in the Islamic holy texts as symbols of wisdom and guides from Allah, similar to Huginn and Muninn, the sacred ravens of Odin. Birds also fly, swim, walk on land, and are symbols of fiery rebirth like the phoenix. This must have a deeper meaning because not only is a bird representative of the four elements, i.e., GOD, but the shooter wrote “like a phoenix we rise from the ashes” on his equipment too. For the layman these things appear to indicate some sort of cryptic symbolism, which no doubt Internet sleuths will argue over for months or years to come. But what it may mean in context is yet another covert insult to God. Finally, we read from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency of another curious phrase written by the shooter: “A YouTube account believed to have belonged to Westman shared videos prior to the shooting in which gun parts and smoke grenades can be seen with neo-Nazi messaging including, ‘6 million wasn't enough,' ‘Burn Israel,' ‘Israel must fall' and ‘Destroy HIAS,' a reference to the Jewish humanitarian organization. The videos were removed after the shooting. HIAS was also targeted in online writing by Robert Bowers, the man convicted of murdering 11 Jews in the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh in 2018.” Based on what we learned about HIAS earlier, the picture here begins to form into a clear remedy for all the confusion. Why would a Christian inspired by Islam and a hatred of Jews, specifically blaming HIAS for facilitating illegal immigration, also hate Donald Trump while simultaneously writing or saying things considered rightwing, and then after all is said and done kill Catholic children as punishment for what the Jews supposedly had done? All the propaganda and rhetoric surrounding Jews conveniently became a national story just as the country is questioning why Israel bombed a hospital, waited for journalists and aid workers to arrive with help, and then bombed the facility a second time. According to the New York Post, “the deranged gunman mused about assassinating President Trump and Jews,” but instead decided on the “children of innocent civilians.” The Robin Westman shooting appears to be CIA-Mossad intelligence operations, if not the even itself then the response.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this fourth installment of our series on Ethics & Anthropology, Dr. Nathan Jacobs traces the evolution of Realism from ancient philosophy through John Locke and even Woody Allen, asking what this tradition missed about the true nature of reality. How does Christianity reframe the conversation on Realism, and why does it matter for ethics, anthropology, and our understanding of the world?Please Like and Subscribe!

Have you ever wondered if you were really saved — or if you were just going through the motions of religion? In this raw and honest episode of the #MoreThanJustPretty Podcast, I share my personal testimony of realizing that for years I thought I was living as a Christian… but I wasn't truly walking in a real relationship with God. In this video we'll talk about: • The difference between religion vs. relationship with Jesus • Why so many people think they're saved but aren't truly born again • What it actually looks like to live in obedience to God (not culture) • Why Western Christianity often misses the heart of the Gospel • How to know if you're really walking with God or just following traditionThis year, God opened my eyes to what it really means to follow Christ—and it's nothing like the watered-down Christianity the world presents. If you've ever felt unsure about your salvation, or wondered if you're truly living for Jesus, this conversation will challenge and encourage you. Don't just settle for religion. God is calling you into a REAL relationship with Him. If this blessed you, make sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more faith-based conversations about purpose, relationships, and walking boldly with God.#Christianity #Testimony #BornAgain #RelationshipWithGod #Obedience #Faith #JesusSaves #WesternChristianity #MoreThanJustPrettyPodcastSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/morethanjustpretty8749/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
