Reminder: Christ is King

Christ is King

In the wake of the recent tumultuous events surrounding former President Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania, one thing has become abundantly clear: Christ is still King, and He's probably shaking His head in bewilderment at the chaos unfolding below.

As shots rang out and Secret Service agents performed their best rugby tackle impressions, Jesus was reportedly overheard muttering, "I leave you guys alone for two millennia, and this is what happens?" The Almighty's PR team quickly issued a statement reminding everyone that "turn the other cheek" was not meant to be interpreted as "duck and cover."

Meanwhile, celestial sources confirm that St. Peter has been frantically updating his guest list, unsure whether to prepare for a high-profile arrival or not. The pearly gates have reportedly been given an extra polish, just in case.

In a surprising twist, it seems the only person not surprised by the day's events was Trump himself, who was heard asking if he could "get his shoes" before being whisked away to safety. Apparently, even in the face of danger, good footwear remains a top priority.

As the nation grapples with this latest political curveball, we can all take comfort in knowing that no matter how chaotic things get down here, the Big Guy upstairs is still in charge – and He's probably wishing He'd installed a cosmic mute button right about now.

*note: we do not promote nor endorse Open Theism. We do acknowledge the use of anthropomorphic language in the Bible and believe that, due to the vantage point of its writers, that God may appear to change His mind. However, we consider it to be an attempt to distinguish between His decretive and permissive will, though ultimately His decrees will come to pass.

Piper Rebukes Driscoll, Defends Stripper Sword-Swallower

Piper Defends Male Strippers from Driscoll, Says Faith is "Erotic to the Core" MINNEAPOLIS, MN - In a surprising turn of events, prominent evangelical leader John Piper has come out in defense of male strippers, arguing that their profession is a valid expression of Christian spirituality. The controversy began when fellow pastor Mark Driscoll condemned male strippers as "ungodly" and "a threat to the moral fabric of society." Driscoll's comments sparked outrage among some in the Christian community, including Piper, who quickly rushed to the defense of the much-maligned exotic dancers. "Mark Driscoll clearly has a very narrow and repressed view of human sexuality," Piper told reporters. "As I've said many times, the Christian faith is erotic to the core. God created us as sexual beings, and that includes the male stripper." Piper went on to cite the "Song of Songs" as biblical evidence that God delights in human sensu...

When asked about his citizenship, Anderson reportedly launched into an impromptu sermon, declaring, "I'm a citizen of Heaven, brother! Let me tell you about the Good News!" As the bemused agent tried to detain him, Anderson proclaimed, "You can't detain me! I'm free to believe because I'm Arminian!" The agent, mishearing the theological term, immediately sprang into action, shouting, "Armenian? We've got ourselves an illegal!" Chaos ensued as agents attempted to deport the protesting pastor to Armenia. "I said Arminian, not Armenian!" Anderson...
