There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him.
C.S. Lewis


James 1:17

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

King James Version (KJV)

15) Researchers in Italy found that the amount of energy needed for the image on the Shroud of Turin does not exist today.

Officials at the highest levels of the FBI—including Dan Bongino and Kash Patel—contacted leaders at Blaze Media and Mercury Radio Arts in late 2025 in an effort to get Steve Baker fired. Can you imagine? The nation's top law enforcement officials trying to shut down investigative journalism. Just what are they afraid of?

"The mold in which a key is made would be a strange thing, if you had never seen a key: and the key itself a strange thing if you had never seen a lock. Your soul has a curious shape because it is a hollow made to fit a particular swelling in the infinite contours of the divine substance, or a key to unlock one of the doors in the house with many mansions. Your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it — made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand.”
C.S. Lewis


In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:2

The Fallacy of "Secret Sin"
A. W. Tozer
No sin is private. It may be secret but it is not private. It is a great error to hold, as some do, that each man's conduct is his own business unless his acts infringe on the rights of others. "My liberty ends where yours begins" is true, but that is not all the truth. No one ever has the right to commit an evil act, no matter how secret. God wills that men should be free, but not that they be free to commit sin. Sin is three-dimensional and has consequences in three directions: toward God, toward self and toward society. It alienates from God, degrades self and injures others. Adam's is the classic example of a secret sin that overflowed to the injury of all mankind. History provides examples of persons so placed that their sins had wide and injurious effect upon their generation. Such men were Nero, Napoleon, Hitler and Stalin, to name but four. These men dramatized the destructive social results of personal sin; but every sin, every sinner injures the world and harms society, though the effects may be milder and less noticeable. Have you ever wondered what the world would be like today if Napoleon had become a Christian when he was in his teens? Or if Hitler had learned to control his temper? Or if Stalin had been tenderhearted? Or if Himmler had fainted at the sight of blood? Or if Goebles had become a missionary to Patagonia? Or if the twelve men in the Kremlin should get converted to Christianity? Or if all businessmen should suddenly turn honest? Or if every politician should stop lying?
verse
My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes.
— Jeremiah 16:17
