Calvinist Begins Year-Long Devotional on Romans, Skips Rest of Bible

“Why Bother with the Rest?” Wonders Calvinist (For the Umpteenth Time)

Local Calvinist Greg Predestine has embraced the New Year with a new devotional titled The Power of the Gospel: A Year in Romans by R.C. Sproul. "Why read anything else when Romans, particularly chapter 9, has all the theological fireworks I need?" he quipped.

Critics argue he should explore other biblical texts, but Greg remains unfazed: "Romans is the ultimate proof of Calvinism. Why complicate things?"

As he embarks on this year-long journey, whispers of a future study on Calvin’s Institutes have already begun circulating among his friends.

Pride: Remembering Sodom & Gomorrah

Sodom and Gomorrah: The Original Pride Parade Gone Wrong As the calendar turns to June, rainbow flags and glitter will soon blanket city streets worldwide to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month. But before you head out to party, let's take a moment to reflect on the very first recorded Pride parade that didn't go quite as planned - the ill-fated cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. For those rusty on their biblical history, Sodom and Gomorrah were neighboring municipalities around the Dead Sea renowned for their hospitality and...other proclivities. When two angels visited the cities incognito, the residents rolled out the welcome mat in a manner that would make modern swingers blush. Lot, a seemingly chill dude who just wanted to mind his own business, tried to protect the angels from the amorous townsfolk. But despite his pleas to "not act wickedly," the cities' citizens continued to pursue their unconventional interests with gusto befitting their reputation as the original ...

To Protect Last Political Allies from Trump, Biden Pardons Pilate, the Sanhedrin

The unprecedented move comes as Biden clears his presidential desk, seemingly determined to resolve theological legal matters that have been pending since the first century.
