A group of Christians are tasked with changing a lightbulb.
The Charismatic changes it easily; his hands are already up.
The Roman Catholic refuses; he prefers candles.
The Eastern Orthodox venerates the light bulb.
The Pentecostal changes it while his friends pray against the Lord of Darkness.
The Christian Scientist can't, but he prays for the light to turn back on.
The Calvinist refuses; God has predestined when the light will be on.
The Episcopalian changes the lightbulb while his friends say how much they liked the old one.
The Mormon tries to change it as five wives tell him how to do it right.
The Baptist changes the lightbulb, gets it approved by three committees, and then they all eat some casserole.
The Lutheran refuses: he doesn't believe in change.
The Unitarian chooses not to make a statement either in favor of, or against, the need for a lightbulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that lightbulbs work for you, you are encouraged to create a poem or modern dance about your personal relationship with the lightbulb, and present it next Sunday when we will explore a number of lightbulb traditions including incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, compact fluorescent, low-pressure sodium, and LED, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

Sexualizing children dehumanizes them. Dehumanizing a whole class of people is essential before using the state to kill them off.
The government indoctrination camps are signaling to you what they're going to do.

JUST IN - U.S. Supreme Court has voted to strike down the Roe vs. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide, an initial draft majority opinion by Justice Alito shows.

How do such drafts of the SCOTUS get leaked to the media before a ruling is announced? This is criminal.

We as Christians have a moral duty to promote Godly order in our lives, as well as for our families and our societies. We can clearly see from the Bible that nations should naturally be tied to blood and soil. We must reject ideologies which reject this Christian notion of nationalism. It is no coincidence that we have rejected the Christian basis for national identity at the same time as we are rejecting the Christian doctrine of marriage, gender roles, and morality. The rejection of nationalism is nothing more than a symptom of the rejection of God’s law in its entirety, sadly even by professed Christians in many cases.

Be sure to follow Dort Apologetics for some high-quality theological spergery.

“God wills to manifest his goodness in men, in those whom he predestines in the manner of mercy by sparing them, in those whom HE REPROBATES in the manner of justice by punishing them. This provides a key to the problem why God chooses some and rejects others...Why does he choose some to glory while others he rejects? HIS SO WILLING is the SOLE GROUND”

Many are familiar with the Heidelberg Catechism written primarily by the 15th century 3rd-generation reformer Zacharias Ursinus. However, fewer are aware that the great catechism was a compilation of the best of two previous catechisms authored by Ursinus, a larger and shorter one. Though the Heidelberg contains the highlihgts, the the first question of the larger catechism should give you a flavor for the depth and excellence of it:
Q1: What firm comfort
do you have in life and in death?
A1: That I was created by God
in his image
for eternal life;
and
after I willfully lost this in Adam,
God, out of infinite and free mercy,
took me into his covenant of grace
that he might give me by faith,
righteousness and eternal life
because of the obedience
and death of his Son
who was sent in the flesh.
And that he sealed his covenant in my heart
by his Spirit,
who renews me in the image of God
and cries out in me, “Abba,” Father,
by his Word
and the visible signs of this covenant.
