Texas Gov. Greg Abbott stands up for bathroom sanity

Jason Reynolds

Star-Telegram: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed Thursday — before a room full of thousands of the state’s most devout Republicans — to help North Carolina fight policies that give transgender people the ability to use the restroom of their choice. The issue, which has already come up in a handful of Texas cities, erupted in Fort Worth this week when Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called for Fort Worth school Superintendent Kent Scribner’s resignation over guidelines outlining bathroom use, sparking protests on both sides of the issue. Abbott publicly weighed in on the issue for the first time Thursday, telling thousands … Continue reading Texas Gov. Greg Abbott stands up for bathroom sanity

In Tennessee government, 6 things the Lord hates, even 7

Jason Reynolds

My friend David Tulis of Nooganomics has this good editorial on secular state government and how it clashes with God’s laws. Here is an excerpt. The follow column may be accessed by clicking the link below. To discern any evil one needs a moral standard external to man, apart from any individual or institution. The true standard is the law of God, which in one proverb tells us what God despises. “These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked … Continue reading In Tennessee government, 6 things the Lord hates, even 7

Stop building spiritual Sandcastles

Jason Reynolds

By JASON REYNOLDS TCN You may have material success, but you may be looking for true happiness without any luck. “Material success won’t make you happy or fill the void in your heart. The only answer for spiritual bankruptcy is Jesus,” a new book declares. In “Sandcastle Kings: Meeting Jesus in a Spiritually Bankrupt World,” readers can take a step-by-step approach through the book of Luke, Chapter 7. Nelson Books of Nashville is the publisher.

There is a better way

Jason Reynolds

There is a better way. There is a better way than kids shooting kids. There is a better way than whites killing blacks, blacks killing blacks, and both races blaming the other. There is a better way than adults killing unborn babies in the name of choice and convenience. There is a better way than children growing up in broken homes with adults who cannot act like adults. There is a better way than senior citizens being neglected in their end years. There is a better way. His name is Jesus. Colossians 1:16 tells us “For in him all things … Continue reading There is a better way

Sexual energy in faithful marriage key building block of civilization, Unwin says

Jason Reynolds

This is an excerpt from David Tulis of Chattanooga’s Nooganomics blog, citing philosophies by J.D. Unwin. The topic is Josh Duggar, monogamy and adultery: The Word of God declares adultery, among others, a capital offense because it highly values that relationship, that wonderful gift to mankind. Adultery is named in the seventh commandment, but the term is used to refer to anything that is unchaste and even is understood to include passions of the flesh such as gluttony. Adultery also violates the 10th commandment against coveting. A major summary of J.D. Unwin’s book, Sex and Culture, 1934, is online through … Continue reading Sexual energy in faithful marriage key building block of civilization, Unwin says

Does the US Need a Nationwide Exorcism?

Jason Reynolds

Can — or should — an exorcism be done for the United States, as was done in Mexico this past May? That’s a question posed by the National Catholic Register at Does the US Need a Nationwide Exorcism? | Daily News | NCRegister.com.

Stop Explaining Away Black Christian Forgiveness of Charleston Nine

Jason Reynolds

Editorial on Charleston Nine families who forgave their killer, and secular attempts to discount the concept of Christian Forgiveness. Excerpt on editorial by Michael Wear, on Christianity Today website: The confounding forgiveness of the Charleston Nine families has led some to ignore its motivation and propose their own. Some of those who expressed righteous indignation at the disgusting right-wing attempts to invent motivations for Roof—rather than accept his explicitly racist statements and beliefs as his motivation—now refuse to take the family members seriously when they say it is a sincere, thought-out expression of their faith. Hanna Rosin, for instance, seemed … Continue reading Stop Explaining Away Black Christian Forgiveness of Charleston Nine
