I can't let this go. This administration and its evangelical enablers have endlessly trumpeted (no pun intended) "religious liberty" and pushed an incessant persecution fantasy for evangelicals in the US.
And now this happens. It's unconstitutional, it's unconscionable, and it's unholy.

A community is devastated after ICE raids an LA church and arrests a congregant during a church event.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ya know, one of the things that I find surprising but not surprising about the current state of our society is the rampant rise of just sheer shamelessness.

It’s been maybe 15 years since I gave any serious thought to what it would look like to abandon Apple’s ecosystem. Cook’s apparent willingness to be party to the murderous havoc of ICE in Minneapolis has me thinking about it.

American Christianity is obsessed with the "rapture"—getting out of here before things get too bad.
But the biblical hope isn't escape. It's restoration. The prayer isn't "Take us away," but "Thy Kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven."
Stop checking the charts and start doing the work.

IN THE LOST LANDS: The only difference between this and the incessant barrage of shitty Netflix movies is I saw it in the theater so I couldn't look at my phone the whole time.

RIFF RAFF: I waited almost a full week to post this review. It wasn't because I was carefully considering what I might have to say. No, I forgot about it completely. And that's really all there is to say about this one.

Jesus came among us as a truly human person. He died a truly human death.
He descended to the realm of the dead.
He has ascended into heaven and is now enthroned over all creation. In his human body—as the God who is truly human.

The spiritual sacrifices that we offer—the worship, the praise, the prayer that we give to God—they actually make a difference. They are participating in the reality of Jesus' life. We are taking part in the transformation of the cosmos into the new Eden.
What we do matters.

Priests stand between God and worshipers to mediate God's presence. They stand between worshipers and their sin to offer forgiveness and reconciliation. They stand between the earthly realm and the spiritual realm.
Your worship matters. Your prayer matters.

DEATH OF A UNICORN: Some will write this film off as just another "eat the rich" horror comedy. I think reducing it to those terms misses the point. It's really about how good humans are at rationalizing their behavior. Plus, killer unicorns!

God intends to redeem the entire creation, for this world to once again be the place where God and creation meet.
Where creation thrives. Where humanity flourishes. Where everything is exactly as it should be.
This is the Eden restoration project—and you're part of the crew.

HELL OF A SUMMER: The Wet Hot American Summer x Friday the 13th mashup nobody asked for. You know what? It's fine. This movie has a great jokes-per-scene ratio and a delightfully brief hour and a half run time. There are far worse ways to pass the time with a movie.

We who are now joined to Jesus in our baptism have been redeemed out of the fallen cosmos and reclaimed for our true calling: to be priests.
Not professional clergy. Not religious specialists.
Priests. All of us. Royal priesthood.

Your prayers are participating in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. They are participating in the reality of Jesus' life.
By that participation, we are taking part in the transformation of the cosmos.
What you pray in your living room alters the fabric of reality.

The death and glorious resurrection of Jesus have changed everything. The cosmos is fundamentally different because of what God has done in Jesus Christ.
Everything is different. The very fabric of creation has been altered.

DROP: Christopher Landon keeps making great thrillers. He has a unique gift for infusing humor into high-tension moments—not to relieve the tension, but somehow to heighten it. With Landon, you might pay for a whole seat, but you really only need the edge.
