A massive cloud of demonic influence is covering Western Europe and parts of the United States. The strong delusion arising from an alliance of Marxist, Islamist, and radical LGBTQ ideologies is blinding millions to truth and even the simplest logic.
The sad part is that those embracing this ideological cocktail are far more committed to taking their convictions to the polls. They vote in large numbers while many conservatives stay home, claiming that “politics is not for us.”
This goes far beyond Trump and his time in office. It concerns the future of America and what the nation will look like for decades to come.
The same is true of Europe.
October 7 was not merely a massacre of Jews. It was also an assault on common sense, decency, truth, and history.
For some, “Free Palestine” has become a new religion, invoked to justify violence and extreme cruelty. It has become an identity for those who feel alienated, offering a cause to embrace while rejecting the love of the truth that could save them.
It is time for every conservative to view voting not simply as a privilege, but as a duty. Our choices have consequences for us and for our children.
God commanded the people of Israel:
“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;”
Deuteronomy 30:19, NKJV
We must choose. We must vote.
Our future and our children’s future are at stake.
Go vote!

By popular demand, here’s the full #LadderGate2026 sermon illustration.
Week 7 of series through 2 Timothy, right after a few hundred people surrendered to Christ and are deciding whether to be obedient in baptism next week.
Would do this again a thousand times for those ppl (if I weren’t getting too old for stuff like this!)
Sadly, the wake of athletic department destruction has become the legacy of Ray Tanner. He signed some of the worst contracts in school history. $24 Million for Shane Beamer? Like, who was knocking down the door to try and get him?
Reporting on Shane Beamer’s future from @DCPandC… Some interesting context:
“Because the financial situation forces it to be. If Beamer is let go Sunday, USC owes him in excess of $24 million. Then there’s the staff and the roster turnover at the end of the year, plus a new coach … USC would be looking at around a $50 million fee, and the school simply doesn’t have it.
While there would always be a chance somebody would pony up and pay the bill, who would it be? The only man with that kind of scratch and willingness to help is sadly no longer with us. But again, I was told it would be wildly, wildly shocking if a move was made.”

If you haven’t climbed a ladder in a sermon, are you even a pastor? 😆
Imagine people telling Jesus “Stop it with all ‘The kingdom of heaven is LIKE…’ stories. So gimmicky. Stick to teaching the text of the Torah.”
Jesus taught with: a coin 🪙, pointing to a mountain ⛰️, towel and basin, poor widows offering, bread and a cup 🥖 🍷, birds and flowers 🐦 🌺 …
Are you noticing we’re living in a world with church haters and critical spirits who just attack and gossip about pastors and churches out of the bitterness and envy in their own hearts?
We’ve got a whole cottage industry of “Christian TMZ” that writes about church news to get clicks and divide instead of to edify and build up. Stop incentivizing these deputy accusers of the saints. Don’t reward them by clicking on their sensationalized headlines.
(In case you missed it, this post was inspired by the most recent string of stupid attacks against my friend @howertonjosh for…*checks notes* climbing a ladder in a sermon to illustrate a point. It was a good illustration, but because God is blessing his ministry and increasing his influence, people will write and say any foolish thing about him to get podcast views and clicks.)
“Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.” — Ephesians 4:29, NKJV
I’m not sure why all the #Reformed bros are so upset about @howertonjosh and his ladder illustration. I mean, if you’re really reformed you know that Pastor Josh didn’t just wake up and decide to do that… he was pre-destined to do it by an all sovereign God. He had no choice.

If you don’t like Pastor Josh Howerton using visual aids to help illustrate a biblical truth, don’t go to his church. Find a pastor you relate to. What you shouldn’t do is take to social media to tear down a man of God and his church because you disagree with his style. I highly suggest people take Matthew 18:6 seriously.

South Carolina led 17-0 against Kentucky.
It's 20-17 now early third quarter.
Don’t worry about it PJ. Those who would take shots because you dared to use an illustration as a way to reach people for Jesus have lost the plot.
If you don't like "object lessons" used to teach spiritual truths, you're going to hate the Bible...
- Mustard seed (Jesus)
- Setting a child in front of people (Jesus)
- Holding up a coin (Jesus)
- Using a fig tree (Jesus)
- Writing in dirt (Jesus)
- Making mud and using it on a man's eyes (Jesus... although this is a mindblowing Genesis 2 redux illustrating Jesus = God)
- Breaking bread + holding up a wine goblet (Jesus)
- Tearing a cloak in 12 pieces (Ahijah)
- Walking naked and barefoot for 3 years (Isaiah... but I'm not doing this one anytime soon)
- Smashing a clay jar in front of listeners (Jeremiah)
- Wearing a wooden yoke (Jeremiah)
- Joining 2 sticks into 1 in front of hearers (Ezekiel)
- Using rope to bind your hands and feet in front of hearers (Agabus)
- Making a rainbow (God... also, this was cool and not gay)
- Smearing blood on house doorposts (God)
- Lifting up a metal snake (God)
There's a way to use "object lessons" that are more distracting and kitsch than illustrative... but there's also a way to do it so that it sticks in the hearer's soul.
Also, I do not own a single pair of skinny jeans, but I am cursed with one pair of Howerton legs that turn straight leg jeans into 'skinny jeans' (let the reader understand :)
Bryce Underwood is a living advertisement as to why you should NEVER give huge NIL money to a unproven frosh QB.
Next years HC and QB!
A little rain couldn't keep Philip and Gunner Rivers off the Carter-Finley Stadium sidelines.

So @devonhaskins was completely fine with putting someone in the public crosshairs over some jokes they tweeted when they were 15 but when the same thing happened to him over something he did as a middle aged man he crawled under a rock and deleted all his socials. What an absolute coward.

THIS is the key piece!
Y’all will let people call Ty, AB, Raven, Kelsey, or any other Black woman who puts on a Fever uniform everything but a child of God. You accuse them of supporting racism, bigotry, and everything else simply because they like and support their teammate.
Their teammate who, to be clear, is not racist.
Some of y’all have become so disconnected from reality that you’ve taken the behavior of random people on social media, bots, trolls, and people who use someone else’s name to push their own racist agendas, and placed that responsibility and that label on the players themselves.
And no matter how many times they speak out against it, condemn it, or make their own beliefs clear, it will NEVER be enough for some of you. The bullying never stops because the goalpost just keeps moving.
Y’all preach inclusion until someone doesn’t look, think, speak, or behave EXACTLY the way you believe they should. The second they don’t fit into the box you created for them, suddenly they’re no longer deserving of the same grace, respect, or inclusion you claim to stand for.
That isn’t inclusivity.
Replying to @gujjunextdoor
But y’all stand on disrespect in other forms. At the end it’s all disrespectful don’t matter how you put it! You gotta learn how to separate players from fans. Look at society everyday you might sit next to talk to someone that are those things does that mean you stand for it too

This video of Hillary Clinton saying the quiet part out loud about Christians is going viral again for some reason.
This stuff is only going to grow more prevalent in our culture. Stand firm, Christian.

If Texas A&M had never fired Kevin Sumlin and they continued giving him $2 million raises every 4 years and he kept his 66.2% win percentage, the Aggies today would have saved $102 million and had two more wins 👀
