Royalist preacher Anthony Farindon: don't reform so thoroughly you purge out compassion; shedding mercy isn't putting on the new man. Today: long devotions, strict purity, and a weary sigh at suffering outside the clan. Whom do you feel for? #anglican #christianwarrior #reformedtheology

When the Oxford children's dictionary discarded dozens of nature-words—"dandelion," "fern," "starling"—as irrelevant to children's imagination and replaced them with words like "broadband" and "cut-and-paste," this inspired act of resistance was born: www.themarginalian.org/2019/06/17/t...

An excellent find, Greg! Thanks very much.

Free Church leader Robert Candlish: a church using its gifts of zeal and love would be a hive of bees, out in the wilderness, bringing back blessings. In the text, he also lamented how short real Christianity falls. Today, saying so means you hate the Bride. Whom can you kiss? #christian

Martyr-bishop Hugh Latimer: our abundance exists to relieve our poor neighbours' misery. Today their misery is cited mostly as grounds for moving them somewhere else. A bold new reading of 2 Corinthians. #christian #anglican #puritan #refugees #bible

In this septic and toxic atmosphere, it’s no wonder that we can barely keep our relations intact. When each person is a consumer, consuming what is necessary to stay on top, no one is safe and everyone is a potential threat. laurenrelarkin.com/2026/10/11/b...

They're OK, yes?

Puritan William Gouge on Hebrews 13:1–3: to brotherly love add hospitality, care for the sick and imprisoned, intercession for the oppressed, prayer for all. We all endorse love. It's the rest of the list that arrives with terms, conditions and acceptable diseases. #christian #puritan

Nonconformist John Collinges, in Poole's Annotations: if those who won't welcome strangers go to the devil, what of those who make them strangers? Timely, given our zeal for banishment. Hell's keenest doctrinal defenders still mostly fret about skipped quiet times. #christian #refugees #bible

After listening to you, Eric Schmitt, it’s obvious you don’t know Jack Shit. 😜

Please be on the alert for this kind of behaviour. It could destabilize operations. I recognise the reluctance, indeed hesitations of the OP, but I think public awareness is more important than the minimal risks which could be a result.

“Attempting to liberate the oppressed without their reflective participation in the act of liberation is to treat them as objects that must be saved from a burning building." Paulo Freire

“Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice, who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing and does not give him his wages.” Jeremiah 22:13

One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and in 1949 he won an Oscar for ‘Battleground’.

Kestrels can hover in place for over a minute at a time while scanning for food, if wind conditions are ideal. This stationary hunting method, which earned them the historical nickname "windhover," lets them drop vertically on prey like mice and insects.

Ellinwood: the hospital was a high-water mark of Christian civilization—all sects competing to serve the sick without regard to race or creed. Hospitals are now culture war territory. Those practicing brinkmanship against them tend to wave the flag of Christian orthodoxy. #christian #presbyterian

What a loser. All the colours are "we're going to have deal"?

Well, it's not really problematic. He doesn't even FLIRT with the truth.

The Man in the High Castle destroyed every swastika prop after filming, so nothing could end up as a souvenir or extremist symbol.

Canadian life expectancy is 3.3 years longer, and our crime rate is a third of yours.

Calvin on James 1:27: religion is not demonstrated in pomp and ceremony but in visiting those in necessity and alleviating distress. These are the duties God’s servants ought to attend to. Calvin considered this the actual definition of religion. #calvinism #christian

My statement on the United States administration’s intention to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods:

Yes, I think so. Except that he didn't blow real capital. I believe that his work for Europe and Ukraine will stand to gain a greater place in history than the adventurism of the robber barons such as Putin and Trump. (But yes, none of his action were immediately near my Australian backyard.)

Thinking about how much of the media we all read or watch is written, produced, or directed by men... or by people who don't know how to write about anything other than men. It's been a while since 1969, yet the problem remains the same.

Sending much love to our 🇨🇦 Canadian 🇨🇦 neighbors from a Sane American in Seattle, Washington!!

This is absolutely wonderful

Outta da way boys, there's a new robber baron on the way. "Nice little strait you got there..." Is step 2 a partnership with Iran to split the transit fees?

James, as always, has helpful links

I'm just hoping they'll get back to us with 'proof of life'. 2 weeks should be enough.

Cheer up, USA. One of your soccer teams has won 4 World Cups.

Brilliant!

So why don't we just get rid of that fuckwit and his criminal cabinet? Let's get on it, Congress. Wake the hell up.

Yes, they just needed a r*pist to step up for the part. Oh, you were already there! So the legal postponements are now finished, and you've grifted enough sleazy dosh to easily pay what you're assigned to pay.

Heart-warming stuff here.

Exactly so. And it's just as annoying when people say they refute something-or-other and they are in reality only denying or rejecting the accusation.

Reading a book, seeing a word you don't understand and having to look it up, thereby allowing you to understand something that was previously opaque is sometimes called "thinking" and it's good for you. It's one of the nicer parts about being alive.

I’m really glad President Zelenskyy is saying this out loud. More people need to realize this.
