I own a tech company, teach Theology, and make Disciples at the Church I attended for 34 years with my wife. Politically anti-hypocrisy.

Saints, if you found hope or despair in the election results, you're looking in the wrong place. Jesus is our only hope, and this world is not our home.

"You adulterers! Don't you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God." James 4:4 NLT

My periodic reminder during election cycles is that politics will never save humanity. The followers of Jesus need to be Jesus to their party and remember that Jesus isn't for your political flavor. And if you want to change the culture, preach the Gospel and make Disciples.
I'm in downtown San Diego to attend a vendor conference tomorrow. I walked over to the nearby CVS to pick up a few items. Woah. I'm sorry, but you people live in Crazy Town. – at Coronado, CA

From childhood through young adulthood, we had no cell phones, no Internet, and no computers. I am tweeting this while 30k feet up in the sky. Amazing times. – at Bee Cave, TX

Soon, because of AI, you will not be able to trust recorded or live-streamed video. What this does to our culture remains to be seen. The irony is that it could drive back the desire for more human contact and relationships.

Today is the day of the week when billions of Christians worldwide celebrate and worship their risen Lord, Jesus. Why? Because we know that this world is evil and broken beyond repair, and one day Jesus will return as the rightful King and will restore it to righteousness.

In Matthew 25, the only difference between the sheep and the goats is what they did or did not do.

“When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. ”
Matthew 24:37-38 NLT
The idea that a worldwide catastrophic event will happen before Jesus's return is not supported by his own words.

Skeptics have told me that if they witnessed a miracle, they would believe in God. Probably not. The Jews were awaiting God's Messiah and saw Jesus perform miracles with their own eyes, and refused to believe.
“But despite all the miraculous signs Jesus had done, most of the people still did not believe in him.”
John 12:37 NLT – at Leander, TX

My wife and I voted today. I had to hold my nose while doing so, but voting for those who represent you in government is a privilege that has historically been given to very few. Go vote.

Yes. Do it. Immediately.
Attackers were testing the new PHP flaws days before the patch existed. PHP runs a huge chunk of the web, and these bugs go back more than a decade. If your website, portal, or WordPress site runs on PHP, the answer isn’t to panic. It’s to patch. Today.

The two most devious things humanists did in the 19th and 20th centuries were to convince people (and many in the Church, unfortunately) that Christian morality was historically the norm, and that the supernatural doesn't exist.
These verses are rarely discussed in the context of Christian Nationalism, and for a good reason.
“One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, 'When will the Kingdom of God come?” Jesus replied, “The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs. You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you.”

The systems of the world and religion will always find ways to attack Jesus, overtly and subtly.
“Then the leading priests and Pharisees called the high council together. “What are we going to do?” they asked each other. “This man certainly performs many miraculous signs. If we allow him to go on like this, soon everyone will believe in him. Then the Roman army will come and destroy both our Temple and our nation.”
John 11:47-48 NLT

We all have no trouble ascribing evil to nations, peoples, and ethnicities we don't like. What we struggle with is ascribing evil to the person in the mirror. Jesus did not.
