Shane on Gaza:

It blows my mind that so many liberals are choosing not to speak out against Biden’s support of the genocide in Gaza.

We all know that Trump would kill even more people, is a threat to democracy, and has become the embodiment of the seven deadly sins… nevertheless, the…

Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody reacts to the death of CNN political commentator Alice Stewart:

I’m absolutely heartbroken at hearing the news that my friend Alice Stewart has died. I’m literally in shock. I just texted her a few days ago and interviewed her two weeks ago for a story that aired on @CBNNews & @700club . You never know when the Lord is going to call you home.… pic.twitter.com/0qlpTOoJZB

Republicans “skew” evangelical and less diverse.

Wheaton Colleges loves the book of Hebrews:

Two Wheaton faculty (we’re still claiming Douglas Moo) are releasing commentaries on Hebrews that the masses are apparently interested in reading. That third rank book we can safely ignore for the present. Forget that guy 😎 pic.twitter.com/GNlWL2Ts28

Blast from the past:

Is Marjorie Taylor Greene losing evangelical support?

The Standing for Freedom Center at Liberty University backs Chiefs kicker Harrison Butler:

The vicious response to a simple speech about the blessings of marriage, family, and God’s design for men and women shows that in “a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” #Chiefs #HarrisonButkerhttps://t.co/QWvgBNebhV

The fact that @buttkicker7 is getting so much hate in response to this video tells you everything you need to know about the hyper-feminist, activist culture in America today. pic.twitter.com/U6kfh2Qozk

Owen Strachan praises Butker:

I differ with Harrison Butker on Catholic doctrine, and consequentially so. But in a common-grace sense, he spoke perceptively about the goodness of God-made manhood and womanhood. He dared to challenge the New Paganism which dissolves the sexes.

He showed manly courage. https://t.co/hRJ0q0dIza

Tom Ascol is not a fan of the NFL:

Well done, Harrison Butker! The fact that @NFL is compelled to make a statement about & distance themselves from you because statements you made that were common sense 10 minutes ago will make me not watch their games even harder. https://t.co/IHoVLzJIRv

Charlie Kirk will be at a megachurch near you this weekend:

The man who attacked Paul Pelosi in late 2022 just got a 30 year prison sentence.

Great. But in the same city, Daniel Cauich attacked a 94-year-old woman in broad daylight and stabbed her repeatedly. His punishment? Probation.

Elite Democrats view their bodies as sacrosanct, so…

An evangelical pundit does not seem to like the fact that Obama wants to remember Brown v. Board. Eric Metaxas retweeted this:

This man is a snake and a grifter, sowing hate and division behind the scenes while publicly playing the role of statesmen.

Alinsky is his Bible.

Arrogant white elitists are his base.

The Alphabet Mafia are his shock troops.

And Biden is his sock puppet. https://t.co/NvgiUx6mSZ

Tony Perkins and Mike Johnson defend Trump. No word about porn stars or adultery:

“They have more trials that they're trying to schedule to keep [former President Trump] tied up all the way through November, if they can.” @speakerjohnson on the travesty of justice occurring with former President Trump.

John Hagee writes a Religion News Service piece on the Antisemitism Awareness Act.

Mike Huckabee on porn stars and hookers:

From a friend: Since Stormy Daniels was on the witness stand simply to provide salacious details in Trump's "bookkeeping" trial,
Hunter Biden's hookers should provide intimate details in court for his gun trial.
Let's see how loud the protests would be & from whom.
