While you're getting into the groove of Funky Town and Barack Obama's awesome legacy, I'm psyching up to drive down I35 to the countryside. Maybe, at some point, our rulers will fix that road.
Speaking of broken roads, the Episcopal Church shut 385 churches between 2009 and 2015, a little more than one a week and that shouldn't be a surprise. Why would anyone who's looking to be a Christian decide to go to a church that's jettisoned Christianity?

| Decline |
The answer, of course, is that no one very much does and so the Episcopal Church and other denominations who've swapped out the Gospel for Team Hillary and the New York Times, continue their decline. After all, why bother going to church when you can successfully believe nothing and read the Grey Lady's oped in the comfort of your Chappaqua breakfast room.
 |
| Growth |
In stunning contrast to the sad and seemingly endless tale of the lib denominations' decline, churches that do proclaim the Gospel grow. For example, the Russian Orthodox Church grew by 5,000 churches and 10,000 clergymen over the last 6 years.

| Crush Satan Underfoot |
According to Patriarch Kirill, "This is not because someone ordered to build [a church], but because of [the] enormous strength of the faith of our people, who support the authorities’ wish."

| These People Hate Russia |
Is it any wonder that the progleft atheist cultural ascendancy in the West looks with hatred and scorn on Christian Russia. I'm hoping that's going to change.

Satan is a very happy camper right now. The anti-Christian libtards are just getting cranked up. Expect years more of abuse and vitriol. I'm hoping hey split a spleen or two.

I thought that the I-35 would be fixed by now. They've been working on it for many years.
ReplyDeleteOn to Russia. Yes, they are experiencing a Christian renaissance now. There are some Christians in the West who feel that the Orthodox communion is somehow not up to their standards, but they teach Jesus Christ and him crucified. They teach the divinity, they teach repentance, forgiveness and grace. They preach of God's love for all and hold the standard set by Jesus Christ as one for us all to emulate as best we can.
Clearly that doesn't play well within the DC Beltway where Baal rules and the highest among us participate in Satanic rituals.
We can always pray and hope it changes, Parson. Safe travels to you.
ReplyDeleteI saw that, Adrienne. Such Satans.
ReplyDeleteLL, I don't know what to say. The DFW highways are in a permanent state of construction, for years. For the last 8 years. Someone's making some big money.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Beltway/Russian matrix, well, I'd warrant there's some big cash flying around too, but I'm no expert.
Let's pray it does, Linda. I survived I35, again. Miraculous.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you got home safely, Parson.
