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

My husband and I have been in ministry since college—three decades of walking with families. In that time, we’ve observed and helped parents navigate the gut-wrenching moment when they discover their child—often their daughter—has been touched by an older boy.

Sometimes the child tells the parents. Sometimes they find out another way. The universal response is guilt, anger, and fear that their child will be scarred for life. The stakes feel high.
After consulting with several child psychologists, this is what we now tell parents.
They fought abuse, ended deadly customs, and transformed entire cultures to protect the vulnerable.
Here’s a thread of Christians who changed history by protecting children. And how kids are victimized today.🧵
2/ Amy Carmichael rescued thousands of girls from temple prostitution in India. She founded the Dohnavur Fellowship, a safe home and school that gave these children dignity, education, and a future.
3/ Mary Slessor saved hundreds of twins in Nigeria from being killed due to tribal superstition. She adopted many, raised them as her own, and helped change local attitudes toward children and women.
1. A female Aslan may seem like just the latest bit of woke nonsense, but it points to something deeper—and more dangerous.
It’s not just about Narnia.
It’s an attempt to feminize Jesus. 🧵
2. Aslan isn’t just a character; he’s not just a lion. C.S. Lewis intentionally crafted him to represent Christ.
“In your world I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name.”
3. Feminism says there’s no real difference between men and women. So they steal Aslan’s strength, courage, and authority—and pretend those traits were feminine all along. It’s not about honoring Lewis or Christ. It’s about rewriting truth to fit ideology.
Pitching their sob story to a variety of outlets. Beware when stories frame adults who do not get what they want as victims. As always the *children* are the true victims. A few things to note here: 🧵 nypost.com/2025/03/02/wor…
The UK allows altruistic surrogacy, which means women can be reimbursed (often significantly) for "pregnancy expenses" and yet, no woman wanted to be their surrogate… Red flag anyone? So they hired a surrogate abroad. Unlike adoption, there's no screening/background checks.
“The children aren’t able to meet their grandparents.”
OH, I SEE! It's important that the children meet the unrelated parents of the men who purchased them, but not their own biological mother?? Manipulation at its finest.
Everywhere gay marriage goes, children's rights to their bio parents are weakened/obliterated. No country has legalized SS marriage AND strengthened children's relationship to their mother & father. Child rights & gay marriage are incompatible. thembeforeus.com/marriage-marri…
That's exactly what happened in the United States. Once we made husbands and wives optional in marriage, mothers and fathers have become optional in parenthood laws in state after state after state. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltwa…
