It feels like we are in the midst of a virtual #CivilWar. Left vs right. Love #Trump vs hate Trump. Woke vs un-woke.

We drink from two completely different news sources, and increasingly surround ourselves only with allies, making it easy to view the “other side” as the enemy. 1
Families are fractured when ideological fault lines are exposed.

Friendships end after sharing voting records.

Disagreements tend to be virtual, explosive and via anonymous avatars.

There seems to be no forum or institution where the two sides come together in peace. 2
Except the church.

Those who view Trump as the greatest threat & those who believe he’s what stands between America and socialism dine together weekly.

Those who protest and those who refuse to march citing the Marxist tenants of #BLM pick up items for each other at Costco. 3
Those who experience racial profiling sit in the pew next to the officer who was urinated on during his shift the night before.

Those who see America as endemically racist & those who see America as the greatest hope for the world stand side by side and sing “In Christ Alone.” 4
Because they’ve rejoiced when the other has rejoiced & mourned when the other has mourned, their hearts are knit together. When talking politics, they are “quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” The result is moderated positions and increased empathy. 5
#Thechurch, which insists that we both worship God alone and love one another despite our differences, just may save our nation. 6

Absolutely stunning, lengthy write up from @nytimes on a Chinese gang luring foreign women to Georgia to be used as surrogates and harvest their eggs.

We all must be aware of this new and novel, and dangerous form of trafficking

Excerpts below.
nytimes.com/2025/12/14/mag…
When they tried to ask even the most basic of questions — What was in all this medication? Where were these babies going? — they couldn’t get any answers. The doctors just ignored them. It was as if their bodies were not their own.

They would take “hormone balancing medication” for one to two weeks, she explained, and then they would get an embryo transfer. The parents would be gay couples or people who could not conceive easily. Bee never mentioned where they would be from, and the women never asked.
Over time, clear global hubs have emerged for particular parts of the trade — the United States is the hub for white-glove commercial surrogacy, Denmark for sperm, Spain for eggs.

Germany, Switzerland and Turkey ban egg donation, though “donation” itself is a confusing term. Some countries, like the United States and Ukraine, have commercialized gametes, allowing the market to set the price of a woman’s decision to sell her eggs or a man to sell his sperm. Others, like Britain and Australia, allow only altruistic donation, in order to discourage what they otherwise consider to be organ trafficking.

On any night in Tbilisi, it’s possible to see clusters of heavily pregnant women — from Kenya, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Ukraine — treating themselves to a meal from their regional restaurant or going to the supermarket. The industry calls them “traveling surrogates.”

Modern culture tells women they must have it all.

The uber-patriarch crowd says they should only stay home.

But Scripture tells a richer story. It shows women who teach, lead, build, create, protect, and nurture.

Let’s look at what God’s Word actually reveals 👇 Image
From Genesis to Revelation, women are not background characters. They are vital agents in God’s plan, using their strength, wisdom, and faith in every part of life. Image
There are God-ordained boundaries around the pulpit. But that doesn't mean women never teach.

Priscilla taught theology alongside her husband in Acts 18.

The Samaritan woman proclaimed the Messiah to her city in John 4.

Older women are commanded to teach younger women in Titus 2.

God trusted women with His truth and gave them voices that changed history.Image

How did the Gaines' fall so far?

The same way many Christians do.

They allowed relationships to shape their theology when it should be the exact opposite. As a result, children are victimized.

My latest @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2025/07/17/chi…
In my 30 years of ministry, I’ve seen pastors, small group leaders, BSF teachers, and decades-long faithful pew-sitters begin to slide almost always because someone close to them identifies as LGBT. Whether it’s a child, sibling, neighbor, or friend, the ultimatum is clear: affirm me, or affirm God’s truth. You have to choose.
When those in our innermost circle openly defy God’s righteous decrees and we offer no objection, we take the first step down a slippery moral slope. The bottom of that slope is often full apostasy. Because if you cannot trust God’s verifiably objective and beneficial standards concerning gender, sex, and marriage, why would you trust the harder to verify claims like the resurrection, virgin birth, and his promise to come again to judge the living and the dead?

Gay marriage has a hidden cost and children are paying the price

It's time for the Supreme Court to reverse Obergefell vs. Hodges. 🧵 Image
Ten years ago, a great injustice was done to children.

In Obergefell v. Hodges, the Court treated as equal two things that for kids never will be: opposite-sex and same-sex marriage.

One aims to unite children with both parents. The other separates them from one or both. Image
Gay marriage hasn’t led to greater love for LGBTQ adults but rather greater harm to children.

It eroded children’s right to their mother and father.

When you make husbands and wives legally optional in marriage, mothers and fathers become legally optional in parenthood. Image

Glenn Greenwald’s sex tape leaked. Within hours, right-wing elites raced to defend him.

Candace Owens. Megyn Kelly. Charlie Kirk, among others.

When progressives do this, they denounce.

But Glenn is “on our side.”

🧵Let’s talk about the cost of conservative hypocrisy.
Megyn Kelly slammed Biden’s non-binary official Sam Brinton for being a “diversity hire” when he was caught stealing luggage.

No pass. No nuance.

But a gay journalist who sometimes sides w conservatives? Big pass, because he's a "friend of many years."
Owens condemned Kevin Spacey,
Andrew Gillum, Lil Nas X, asking
"Why has 'oh, but I'm gay' become a default excuse for immorality?"

But there's no critique of Greenwald's behavior, just that he is "one of the most important and honest voices of our time."

Despite @TimTebow's statements, fathers are NOT the most likely to sexually victimize children.

Why being raised by their biological father is one of the safest places a child can be 🧵
Tebow wrote, “where the relationship between the victim & the offender was known to law enforcement, fathers were the highest category of offender”.

He gave the impression that a child’s own father is the most dangerous person in their life, which isn’t true. Image
Let’s look at the source he cites:
the Federal Sentencing of Child Pornography: Production Offenses (October 2021).

It distinguishes between bio fathers and other categories.

Of victimizers it finds:
•Biological Parent: 18.2%
•Stepparent/Guardian/Parent’s Partner: 14.2% Image
