Truth, Lies and Jellyfish Christians. Did Ukraine launch a drone attack against Putin? We'll never know. You can't believe anything you hear, or even see these days. How are we to have discernment between truth and lies? I'm inspired by Nehemiah, who in 500 BC saw right through the lies of his detractors and never wavered.

Tucker Carlson said the debates in our country are between Good and Evil. But you can't say that today. In today's culture, everything is good. If you talk about evil then you're being mean. This leads to a lack of moral clarity and conviction. This has led to chaos. Let's learn from Achilles to the Puritans about when anger is righteous and when it's corrosive.
