Evangelical communities have been lamenting the spiritual decline of America for decades, and blame it on the rise of secular immoral power in society. Did they notice in scripture that these scenarios always arose out of the unfaithfulness of God's people?
NEW from me: Every morning for the past week or so, a group of ~24 clergy in Portland, Maine drive out to a business. They form a line near a door, shielding a group of mostly immigrant workers as they exit their shift. Then faith leaders stare down DHS agents. religionnews.com/2026/01/29/m...
Maine clergy form spiritual 'shield' outside workplaces to protect immigrants from ICE

Drowsy, muscle soreness, body aches, lethargy, sore throat, dry cough, raspy voice, puffy face... The post Mariners game experience feels like the side effects from a pharmaceutical ad.
I guess we are all about to experience why good international relations is important.
The Venn diagram of evangelical voters who say, “come lord Jesus” and unironically voted in someone who is trying to unify global payment services through their own business platform is….a perfect circle.
If you have some spare $, contact your local refugee resettlement agency and offer to help support a recently resettled family. The humanitarian agencies are struggling right now (up poo creek sans paddle)
Jean Yoon@jeanyoon.bsky.social · 2y agoWhat kind of a nation bans the United Nations Relief & Works Agency that provides humanitarian support, medical care, food & sustenance for refugees? How is this acceptable in the eyes of the world? This is callous cruelty, depraved malice. It’s sick and it’s sickening.
Raising an adult isn’t talked about enough with humility. It is HARD, and it’s been a deeply self-reflective experience. Was I like this to my parents? Was I that oblivious? Would anything they said saved me? Am I a narcissist?
Everyone is aware that "disinformation" is just a fancy rebranded version of lying, right?
On the positive, I agree with a hybrid of Tolkien and Mother Teresa: It’s individuals doing little things with great love that overcome the darkness. Be faithful where you are. Whether a policymaker, plumber, cosmetologist, teacher, miner, accountant, stay at home parent, clergy etc.
The more I study Revelation in depth, the more I realize American evangelical eschatology is just one vague possible interpretation, fully fed through someone’s individual bias. It’s written so openly, it could mean a lot of things.
One woman offered him half a sub sandwich, the first person to offer him anything in SIX MONTHS. We have to stop dehumanizing the unhoused.
Josh Sternberg@joshsternberg.com · 2y agoA sobering reminder that this could be any of us, at any time. Esquire readers set up a GoFundMe for Fealy, raising almost $23,000 so far: www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-... www.esquire.com/news-politic...
"What makes the temptation of power so seemingly irresistible? Maybe it is that power offers an easy substitute for the hard task of love. It seems easier to be God than to love God, easier to control people than to love people, easier to own life than to love life." - Henri Nouwen
Noticing an alarming trend in American evangelical Christianity to attribute all bad things to Satan as if they themselves possess no wickedness. Comfort challenged? Satanic attack. Confront systemic racism? I’m a Christian, so I can’t be racist. Doesn’t our sin nature still exist?
