The Josiah Effect: How Moderate Religion Fuels Fundamentalism
From Quillette:
“It soon occurred to me that my church, precisely because it was moderate, was
failing to adhere faithfully to Christ’s teachings. What was needed, I thought,
was a return to the fundamentals. And that was my first step down a potentially
dangerous road. It was entirely logical — after all, if you really have a
divine book on your hands, you’d be stupid not to devote yourself to it.”

Nothing happens by chance.
God has laid out a plan for our lives, our biggest problem is free will—we often get in the way and resist God. We were born in the time and place where God wanted us to be. God does have a plan for you, though you may never fully know what it is. That’s why we must truly die to self and allow God to move us to where He wants us to be, and to be a reflection of Christ here on earth.

Christmas at Denny's
Christmas at Dhenny's
The night air was crisp in Oklahoma City as Jim, Lance, and
Brandon made their way to the local Denny’s on Christmas Eve. The three men,
longtime friends and members of a nearby church, had decided earlier that week
to spend their evening at the 24-hour diner. While others celebrated with
family and friends, they felt called to bring the message of Christ to those
who might need it most. Armed with warm hearts and the love of God, they
entered the softly lit diner, the scent of pancakes and coffee greeting them at
the door.

What is an idol
What is an idol
I've read and seen a lot of videos saying that Christmas
trees are not idols or Pagan.
So, let's look and see what a Christmas tree is and does. Let me say I'm not going
to try and say that the Christmas tree or Christmas has its roots in paganism.
I've seen the evidence going both ways and that's not the point I am trying to
make here.

Becoming Radicalized for Christ
WOW do an internet search for becoming radicalized for
Christ and see what you get.
The first page was all negative and how this leads to terrorism. In one article they scolded moderate Christians for tolerating the radicals. I'm probably now on another watch list just for Googling it. How have we gotten to this point in our society. I believe it's because we have very few true radicals for Jesus anymore. We have become lazy and indoctrinated into this worldly society and have not truly died to self.

The Day the Republic Fell
January 20, 2025, was a day destined for the history books,
but not in the way anyone could have foreseen. A crisp winter morning blanketed Washington, D.C., as thousands gathered on the National Mall to witness the swearing-in of Donald J. Trump for his second term as President of the United States. The air was electric with anticipation—a mix of celebration and protest, as had become typical of modern American politics.
