au.thegospelcoalition.org/ar… As a wild, old, mustachioed cowboy would say, what in tarnation! I understand the sentiment; I've seen the problem, but this is just about the worst solution.

I just deleted over 1000 emails, just receipts and order confirmations from 2004-2015. I hope I don't need them for anything. I'll keep the more recent stuff. 😂

My current hobby is asking AI scam calls enough ridiculous phone calls that they hang up on me.

My publications have a new page that brings them all together - books.martinwickens.com My goal was to create a place that displayed my publications & highlighted blog posts and announcements. All that and more is now available. Check it out, let me know what you think.

We can't read too much into Genesis spending more time on Isaac and Rebekah's meeting and marriage than on Creation. Neither should we ignore it. Outside of personal faith, who we meet and marry is the biggest decision we can make. I am thankful for the wife God has given me.

Some Christians may be debating it, but God's Word has already decided it. God is referred to only with male pronouns, except for one or two analogies to God caring as a mother cares for a child. The crowd that demands we respect their pronouns does not respect God's.

About to block a bunch of bots. They're spamming with the same images and text. I don't think I've ever seen it this bad. Someone is pouring a lot of money into trying to make the world hate Israel.

Man, the bots are out in force today. I'm surprised none of them have accused me of being paid $7,000 by Israel to make posts yet. 😂

France will likely send Iran a sternly written letter and let them know how disappointed they are in them.
BREAKING: France’s intelligence agencies have discovered that Iran was behind the cyberattacks against French grocery stores during which freezers and fridges had their temperatures increased up to 50C. Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot says Iran will face consequences for it

A JAMA Pediatrics study found that habitual social media use altered brain development in teenagers. A University of Pennsylvania trial found that limiting use to thirty minutes a day significantly reduced loneliness and depression.

So, 16-18 aren't ages when a magical change suddenly happens; they're the point when evidence says the risks start to become manageable. Be clear: the risk hasn't gone; it's just started to become manageable.

Let me be blunt. Unmonitored social media use doesn't respect your child's autonomy; it is negligence.

88 years ago was Kristallnacht (the "Night of Broken Glass"): 1,400 synagogues were burned or damaged, 7,000 Jewish businesses were looted and vandalized, 91 Jewish people were murdered, and 30,000 Jewish men were sent to concentration camps. Their crime? They were Jewish.

The drivers behind it all are not simply anti-Zionist; they do not want a two-state solution; they want Israel and every Jewish person gone. The people who persecuted the Jews throughout history, because it has happened repeatedly, always believed they were justified.

It always ended in the deaths of hundreds or up to millions of Jews. It always ended with their enemies defeated, left in the trash heap of history & the Jewish people surviving. So it will always be until the Lord returns. Israel's enemies will be defeated. Israel will survive.
