Not to go off topic or on a tangent but I think the bigger cultural issues that are looming and that is for God to deal with via His Mighty Hand are 1) AI , 2) Agenda 2030 - the UN’s global sustainability initiative, 3) Drones - Trump signed something recently that didn’t get much attention https://www.dhs.gov/news/2026/01/12...w-office-advance-drone-and-counter-drone

There’s a lot of weird places aligned forces appear to be taking civilization. https://heidelblog.net/2026/02/silicon-valleys-religion/

We shouldn’t worry about that, or Tucker Carlson, or Israel, or any of it cause we are well grounded.

Tom, are you a Baptist? Cause I feel they are overly invested in politics and culture wars. Why do we need to be aligned with any political personality anyway? They may say a few things we like but who are they ultimately serving?

I personally think there are many who want to make Christianity appear fringe, threatening, irrelevant, outdated and obsolete (with help from the Christian Nationalists) as far as future civilization…. Obviously that will never happen. But I wonder if God is permitting certain things as part of His sovereign plan and for His ultimate glory and our good. Nobody can thwart His sovereign hand.

Note: I think individual Christians should be active in politics and natural law (which if reality based is inherently Christian) be promoted (while default neopagan state religion exposed as religious) but true heart change and spiritual transformation typically occurs and is initiated via church where the pure preaching of the gospel may occur.

Sorry, back on topic….
