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.

Christian Pacifists Reinterpret Romans 13 After Tragic Animal Incidents

Fred and Peanut Become Latest Mascots for Justice In a surprising twist, Christian pacifists have taken a page from the revolutionary Presbyterians' book by reinterpreting Romans 13, following the tragic demise of Fred the squirrel and Peanut the raccoon at the hands of government officials. These furry martyrs have sparked a theological debate, as pacifists now argue that Romans 13 supports civil disobedience against unjust state actions. Fred and Peanut, beloved local mascots, were allegedly "neutralized" for causing minor disruptions in a public park. Their untimely deaths have become a rallying cry for pacifists, who argue that the state's actions were neither just nor necessary. In response, pacifists assert that Romans 13, traditionally seen as a call to obey governing authorities, actually mandates resistance when the state acts contrary to God's will. They emphasize Paul's call to "overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21) as a directive to ch...

Men Named "David" More Likely to Suffer Identity Crisis

Matt Chandler, the lead pastor of Southern Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas, has shot to the evangelical spotlight in after preaching a sermon in which he proclaims that "You're not David!" to an unsuspecting captive audience. In doing so, however, he inadvertently caused a mass identity crisis among an unlikely, oddly-specific demographic: people who actually are named "David." One person, who commented on the condition of anonymity, said: "I've been called David my whole life. Now that I've been told I'm not David, I don't even know who I am anymore. I've started going by my middle name, but nobody's ever called me "Matthew" before and it's really taking some getting used to. My children look at me like I'm a stranger. My wife says she feels like she's sleeping with another man. I feel like a stranger in my own skin. I'm having an identity crisis. What do I do? We reached out to a local counselor for ...
