Some tough truths about police today

The United States of America is supposed to be a nation that promises liberty and justice for all. Justice for George Floyd and justice for Derek Chauvin. Justice for the ones we love and the ones we hate.

Music is spiritual. It is far more than just words set to a collection of notes and harmonies from various instruments — more than just the vibrations of air molecules at different frequencies hitting our eardrums and transmitting to our brains.

In a culture driven by sensation and controversy, it is unusual to have honest dialogue. It is rare for a divided culture to engage in nuanced discussion about our generation’s critical issues. Compromise has all but gone extinct. But not on this show. We strive to be a beacon of common sense and thoughtful analysis from a biblical historical worldview. Last week, we began hearing a call to start issuing passports to those who had received the Covid-19 vaccine. As always, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

This Thursday, I wanted to spend a little more time on a story I mentioned in yesterday's episode. This headline appeared Monday, March 29th: "U.S. Church Membership Falls Below Majority for First Time": "Americans' membership in houses of worship continued to decline last year, dropping below 50% for the first time in Gallup's eight-decade trend. In 2,020, 47% of Americans said they belonged to a church, synagogue or mosque, down from 50% in 2018 and 70% in 1999. U.S. church membership was 73% in 1937 when Gallup first measured it. It stayed near 70% through 2000 before beginning to decline, to 61% in 2010 and 47% in 2020." There are several interesting takeaways from this study, but as always, I'll be giving you one thing you shouldn't care about and one thing you need to care about! THANKS SO MUCH FOR LISTENING!

There is a looming slow-motion disaster at work underneath the surface of many communities today. It is a problem of growing old without growing up.

Courage is a spiritual virtue. Courage is not blind idealism. It acknowledges the legitimate reasons to fear and then overcomes them.

The daily podcast where I give you one thing you shouldn’t care about and another thing to really care about. Daily topics to keep you thinking from a conservative biblical worldview. We are a brand new podcast and we would really appreciate your support while we grow our new audience. Please do a couple of things for us: Subscribe, rate and share. Just got our website up and running at whycarepodcast.com Send me an email with your thoughts and comments at new email: Adam@whycarepodcast.com A Man Who Thinks He’s a Woman Is Your New Assistant Secretary of Health in President Biden’s Cabinet Congratulations, America! You brave and beautiful people have freely elected a government which has just nominated and confirmed the first openly transgender person to a high ranking position in the Federal Government Yahoo! News Reports: * The Senate made history Wednesday by confirming Dr. Rachel Levine as assistant secretary of health in a 52-48 vote, making her the highest-ranking openly transgender person in the federal government. * All Democrats and independents in the Senate voted to confirm Levine, while Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska broke with Republicans to make the confirmation a bipartisan one. * Levine's confirmation has been praised by LGBTQ advocacy groups. * "President Biden committed to appointing our nation's most qualified leaders to tackle the pandemic and he delivered in choosing Dr. Levine," former Mayor Annise Parker of Houston, the president of LGBTQ Victory Institute, said in a statement on Wednesday. "Yet the importance of this moment extends well-beyond the health of our nation alone." Let’s be real, shall we? Rachel Levine is a man, no matter how he feels. He is suffering from a mental illness called gender dysphoria. His condition does not deserve to be celebrated, but treated by a medical professional, and prayed for by a spiritual counselor. This is a hurting person. Don’t Care * I don’t care how many people are going to play along with this mass delusion, I refuse to play along * I don’t care how many are going to wage the pronoun war, Mr. Levine’s Wikipedia page has been scrubbed of every him, he, and his, replaced by hers and she’s * He will never be able to scrub the male chromosomes from every individual cell in his body. * We should never harbor hatred for someone like this, instead we should truly feel grief and pity for them. The transgender individual is living in constant opposition to the person that they were created. Mr. Levine is engaging in a daily dress up party, and it cannot be fulfilling to him. * This hurting and confused man has experienced nothing but favor and promotion ever since transitioning in 2011 and divorcing his wife in 2013. * He excelled in climbing the ranks of government bureaucracy in the state of PA, no doubt as a testament to the left-leaning political environment there. * Pretending to be a woman was been the best thing he ever did for political power, after all if he’s not dressing up as a woman, he is just a white male, a part of the racist patriarchy. * But now, he is able to take part in the victimhood culture by placing himself in a persecuted people group * Yes, there are political advantages for men to pretend being women. * But I don’t care how deeply the delusion runs, I refuse to call him a she because it violates my right to think true thoughts. Care * We must take note of the argument that conservatives and Christians have been making for several generations… What does it lead to? * Imagine if I traveled back in time to the year 2000 and had a conversation with you at that time.. before the internet, before smartphones, when you might still have carried a beeper.. * I told you that in about 20 years time, we would be confirming a transgender person to a position in the federal government. * The slippery slope was a lot more slippery than anyone could imagine * At that time, there was still strong support for the Defense of Marriage Act, signed by Bill Clinton.. Marriage was between one man and one woman * In roughly 25 years, not only has the government’s view of marriage been destroyed, but now attempting to destroy the legal distinctions between male and female * I would argue that this is all part of one massive cultural push away from cultural and historical traditions, in favor of moral depravity. * We must take note that this is Sodom and Gomorrah on steroids. This is far worse than what the crowds banging on Lot’s door wanted.. this is a cultural celebration of the rejection of God’s design for gender. * The elevation of Rachel Levine is a massive troll against God Himself. It is the leftist rejection of morality right up in your face. Are you enjoying this? Gen 1:27 NKJV - 27 So God created man in His [own] image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Male and female is part of the very essence of what it means to be human. To reject your God-given gender is to reject God Himself. The culture that is ok with this is ok with the complete rejection of god’s image in mankind. This is not progress.. this is regression back to barbarism. We are now living in a post-post-Christian America. Good news: the more confusion and chaos exists in the world around us, the more that common sense becomes the oxygen that people are gasping for. Those who are thinking clearly must be willing to take on whatever shame comes along with standing up in the pronoun wars. Not willing to back down to the truth that men are men, that women are women, and that’s OK! Will you? Dear listener hear the words of the God that made you: Psa 139:13-17 NKJV - 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And [that] my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, [And] skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When [as yet there were] none of them. 17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! God didn’t make a mistake when he made you. He made you in His image. Yes, marred and broken by sin and rebellion against Him, but still bearing unlimited worth. You are more than just a random collection of cells. You are more than just a cosmic accident. To Mr. Levine, I know you are a hurting man. I know that you are confused. I know that you have found some comfort and advantage in masquerading around in women’s clothes and with a woman’s hairstyle. But I want you to know, that you are still a bearer of God’s image. And it is for this reason that God reached down through time and space to send a savior so that you could be rescued from your confusion. Trust in the risen savior, Jesus Christ and repent of your sins to be born again into a new life of joy, peace, and satisfaction in the way God made you Leave it there for today, please rate and review this podcast.

Daily topics to keep you thinking from a conservative biblical worldview. No mental laziness allowed! SHOW NOTES Don’t Care I believe that there are a lot of lessons that we can learn by comparing the two shootings that have occurred in the last week Last week, when a man savagely killed 8 people in Atlanta, GA This week, when a young man killed 10 in a supermarket in boulder, CO, including a police officer I will refer to these as Atlanta and Boulder In light of the Boulder shooting, we have instantly heard an outcry for “common-sense” gun control. President Biden said that he’s not willing to wait another minute, not even another second before attacking the second amendment rights of American citizens Question: Why didn’t we hear those calls last week after the Atlanta shooting? Why are we getting an entirely different narrative out of congressional democrats and their mouthpieces in the mainstream media? Only Last week, the entire narrative was about white supremacy hate crimes against Asian-Americans Nothing about gun control… Why the shift? Another observation, Last week, we had the name of the shooter almost immediately. Most of the first reports of the shooting included the name of the killer. This week, there were almost 24 hours between the first report of a shooting and the time we got his name. Question: what could possibly explain the different coverage? Finally, thinking about motives In Atlanta, it’s almost like they had crafted his motive instantly Sex addict, and an Asian hater The entire media and left-wing politicians race to assign a motive to that killer In Boulder, it’s inexplicable! Who can possibly know what was in his mind? They are careful not to throw any shade, cast any judgment upon the possible motives of the killer. Question: Why is it so easy to assign motive in one case, while so difficult in the other? The answer is more disturbing than it may seem The left sees every story first and foremost through the prism of race The biggest difference between these stories is that one was a white dude, and the other was not. Glenn Beck’s astute observation of the Leftist’s handbook of assessing mass shootings If the shooter isn’t white, and the victims aren’t white… They don’t care If the shooter is white and the victims aren’t white… RACISM, White Supremacy! If the shooter isn’t white and the victims are white… When will we finally do something to address the GUN problem in America?!? The hatred against white people, patriarchy, traditional values, ultimately against God himself is so great that half of our country abandons reason to twist themselves into knots based solely on the identity of the person pulling the trigger The thing you shouldn’t be worried about today is being involved in a mass shooting You have far greater chance of being killed in a fist fight, than by a mass shooter Tragic as they are, they are still a very rare event. Please don’t let the fear of mass shooters affect your thought life or your personal decisions Care What should you care about today? You should be on the watch for the fulfillment of President Obama’s radical fundamental transformation of America. It is happening right now, more quickly than anyone can fathom Leftists are taking advantage of the the perceived crises to altar this nation towards socialism Using the excuse of the coronavirus pandemic to blow out the debt, to get people addicted to government stimulus checks and devalue our currency Using the excuse of the storming of the capitol and one out of two horrific shootings to keep you out of DC and to attack an entire race as hateful white supremacists Using a different shooting to make a grab for your right to keep and bear arms and protect your family Using the trans movement to continue eroding the institutions of marriage, family and gender These are the things that are tearing us apart In times like these, we need to find comfort beyond the latest headlines and remember that there is a God who is still in control. Our nation, as bad as it is right now, has seen worse times and still made it through. While the left mocks the idea of thoughts and prayers in a time like this, we will put all the hope and faith we have in the only God who is truly able to change a nation in disrepair. Second Psalm provides a wonderful instruction to God’s people in the midst of societal chaos: Psa 2:1-12 NLT - 1 Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans? 2 The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one. 3 "Let us break their chains," they cry, "and free ourselves from slavery to God." 4 But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them. 5 Then in anger he rebukes them, terrifying them with his fierce fury. 6 For the Lord declares, "I have placed my chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain." 7 The king proclaims the LORD's decree: "The LORD said to me, 'You are my son. Today I have become your Father. 8 Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession. 9 You will break them with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.'" 10 Now then, you kings, act wisely! Be warned, you rulers of the earth! 11 Serve the LORD with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Submit to God's royal son, or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities--for his anger flares up in an instant. But what joy for all who take refuge in him! Leave it there for today, please rate and review this podcast.

Daily topics to keep you thinking from a conservative biblical worldview. No mental laziness allowed! SHOW NOTES Don’t Care No doubt you’ve heard the news already of the monster who shot up a grocery store two days ago On this podcast, we will refuse to name mass murderers since most of them are motivated by notoriety. We refuse to give it to him. What shouldn’t you care about today? You shouldn’t care about what color his skin is, neither should you care about the name he was given at birth If you want to stay sane in this generation, turn off the talking heads of cable news. I recommend listening to news, rather than watching or reading so that your view of reality won’t be biased by the images that are designed to keep you glued to a screen BTW- This is why I love podcasts This article from Ashe Schow at the Daily Wire illustrates exactly why you should never jump to conclusions about people without knowing the details As soon as a shooting was reported at a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store, members of the media and activists rushed to insist the shooter must be white and, specifically, a “white supremacist,” before his identity was even released. When news outlets reported that the suspect had been apprehended, numerous verified Twitter accounts suggested the shooter must be white, as any other race, some claimed, would have been shot at the scene. The suspected shooter was shot at the scene, but in the leg, and was taken into custody. DeadSpin editor Julie DiCaro and USA Today editor Hemal Jhaveri insisted in a conversation that the shooter was a “white man,” with Jhaveri referring to him as “an angry white man.” Amy Siskind, a feminist activist, said the shooter was “almost certainly a white man” because he was apprehended. Once she learned the race of the suspect, however, she pivoted to suggesting people mourn the victims and not focus on the identity of the killer. Author Meena Harris, niece of Vice President Kamala Harris, posted then deleted a tweet declaring, “Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country.” The left exposes it’s own biases in these obviously racist reactionary tweets They are attempting to paint their own view of the world onto a situation that they know nothing about My point today is that we can all be guilty of doing the same thing We should NEVER care about the skin color, name, hair style Facebook page, words spoken of a monster. Some people did the exact same thing when it was revealed that the shooter had a muslim name, making all kinds of assumptions before knowing anything. Why? Because There is only one thing to care about when it comes to judging other people: their actions! This is the best way to judge others, by what they actually do. Care What you need to care about on a day like today is how our culture has come to a place where two mass shootings can happen in less than a week and we barely yawn. We are living in a sick culture that blames the tool of massacre, rather than the sickness of what causes the finger to pull the trigger. What is common among 90% of mass killers? They are mostly fatherless unmarried men Instead of immediately blaming white supremacy, maybe we should be talking about broken homes and failing marriages. These listless, purposeless young men, without the challenge of marriage and family flounder into dangerous mental instability We should be passing federal laws to treat mental illness, not grabbing guns. Instead of attacking law-biding citizens’ rights to protect themselves, maybe we should incentivize young at-risk men to get jobs, get married and have children! Maybe, even more, we should encourage spiritual renewal and revival to deal with the true issue, the evil of men’s hearts '“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?' Jeremiah 17:9 This is why we know that the only thing that can transform the human heart is not a law passed by congress, a politician elected to office, or a check sent out to the masses. These solutions will never address the spiritual problems that caused them. What we truly need is spiritual fix for spiritual problems. 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ' II Corinthians 5:17 As we approach Easter, let us remember who truly changes hearts and minds. Let those of us who are believers get serious about our call to reach the lost and broken with the Good News of the Gospel. So that we can do our part to prevent heart-breaking tragedies like this in the future. This is why we should care, because by doing our part to plant the seeds of god’s word in the hearts of others, we are doing our part to reach the desperate souls of our generation.

VBPH honors the rich history of African Americans in this service featuring Pastor Jon Long from Raleigh, NC. We thank God for this powerful message from Heaven.

Mark 6:7-13 NKJV- And He called the twelve to [Himself], and began to send them out two [by] two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. 8 He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff--no bag, no bread, no copper in [their] money belts-- 9 but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics. 10 Also He said to them, "In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place. 11 "And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!" 12 So they went out and preached that [people] should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed [them].

Haven't seen or heard this anywhere. Why is this point of view being buried?

18 "Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19 "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."

Think of a husband and wife in a car, the wife tells her husband to turn right at the next junction and by mistake, he turns left. When he realizes what he has done, he says to his wife “I’m sorry love, I went the wrong way.” But if that is all he does, it isn’t enough. Saying sorry isn’t getting them any closer to where they want to be; it isn’t even stopping them from getting further away. To get where they want to be, he needs to stop the car, turn it around and go back on to the correct road that his wife told him to take in the first place. That is repentance. Psalm 51:1-17 NKJV- To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin [is] always before me. 4 Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done [this] evil in Your sight--That You may be found just when You speak, [And] blameless when You judge. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. 6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden [part] You will make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me hear joy and gladness, [That] the bones You have broken may rejoice. 9 Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me [by Your] generous Spirit. 13 [Then] I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You. 14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, [And] my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. 15 O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. 16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give [it]; You do not delight in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart--These, O God, You will not despise. -- Join our bible reading plan: https://bible.com/p/37105438/98d214149e0115fd6b7114ad30095ebf Want to receive text updates from our church?
