📻 @ClaibsOnline, @RandyKarraker, and @Buck reminiscing right now about Jack Buck and the @Cardinals on @KMOX is radio gold.
We’ll conclude our services tonight singing the words, “O come let us adore Him: Christ, the Lord.” Let that be the song of your heart today and every day.
Happy 100th Birthday KMOX! I grew up on this station, listening to the Cardinals, Blues, and Rush Limbaugh.
100 years ago today, KMOX went on the air for the first time: December 24, 1925. Thank you for your trust and listenership through the years. We love St. Louis. This is France Laux, the first “Voice of the Cardinals,” one of our 12 pioneers at KMOX100.com. #stlcards
Have fun with that, Kansas. On the other side of the state, we still remember how the NFL does stadium deals…
After reading through the 33-page term sheet for the Chiefs' new stadium in Kansas, I think it's one of the most lopsided stadium deals in NFL history. Kansas is essentially giving the Chiefs $3 billion (stadium funding + mixed-use development funding + tax incentives), yet…
This is the way. Only Christianity can both diagnose and provide the cure.
Imagine a day. Imagine a place. Life and family give way to workforce aspirations. Marriage and children are deemed detrimental burdens, preventing self-actualization. Thought and speech are shoehorned by a compulsory code; the violation of which will lead to closed doors,…
Victor Davis Hanson: My Response to Tucker Carlson’s Israel, Qatar Claims “I would like to say—it pains me to say this—but the Tucker that is talking is not the one that I had a seven-to-eight-year relationship with every Monday after the monologue. But to be frank, everything…
Pray for Ben Sasse and his family.
Friends- This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die. Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence.…

Found out today that all my Presbyterian friends are really just Democrat liberals. What do they have to say for themselves?
I'm sure there's going to be lots of questions about methodology. I link to the dataset that I use, the website it comes from, and a working paper on how this data was collected and organized in a post today on my newsletter: graphsaboutreligion.com/p/the-most-rep…
Jesus is the justice-satisfying, wrath-averting sacrifice for our sins! Praise the Lord!
He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. —1 John 2:2 (ESV) #Verseoftheday #ESV #Bible #Bibleverse
Let the church of God be filled today with joy in God! Psalm 119:57 The LORD is my portion; I promise to keep your words.
When all the sudden half your timeline decides they are Bears fans.
It’s not “cancel culture” or “censorship” to draw moral and political lines as boundaries for a political movement. If you don’t draw lines, you don’t have a movement. You may not like where others draw those lines. But you cannot disagree with drawing them in principle.
It’s just too bad that such “life hacks” don’t produce actual life or the happiness sought after.
Not having kids is a life hack. I spend my summers in Europe, take cross-country road trips, and disappear off-grid on weekends. The money I’d spend on kids goes to investing, experiences, and freedom. Different priorities. Different definition of rich.
“Godly husbands and fathers are at the center of biblically ordered families, biblically ordered families are vital to the health of the church, and the church is the beachhead of God’s kingdom and both the salt and light of the broader society.” – Joel Beeke
Ought neighboring nations come to the defense of Christians being persecuted (such as in Nigeria)? S.J. Brutus provides some food for thought here:
Sharp Decline in Trans Identities Confirmed - On this episode, @JonathanESwan, @DennyBurk, and @colinsmo discuss an article by @ryanburge on declining transgender identities across the spectrum, but especially in young adults.
