By November 25, 2019Culture4 min read

“Thanksgiving: A Time to Feel; a Time to Heal”CalvaryChapel.com
“The good news is that we don’t have to choose either/or. With the Bible as one’s authority and guide, we can acknowledge the ugliness, injustice and pain of the past—including present-day implications for countless natives—and yet, still redeem present-day Thanksgiving in the context of the Gospel.”

“A Glimpse at the Intersectional Left’s Political Endgame”Intelligencer – New York Magazine
“Every now and again, it’s worth thinking about what the intersectional left’s ultimate endgame really is — They seem not to genuinely believe in liberalism, liberal democracy, or persuasion… Rather, the ultimate aim seems to be running the entire country by fiat to purge it of racism (and every other intersectional “-ism” and “phobia”, while they’re at it). And they demand “disciplinary tools” by unelected bodies to enforce “a radical reorientation of our consciousness.”

“That ‘Junk’ DNA… Is Full of Information!”Advanced Science News!
“These regions of DNA may then be regarded as structurally important elements in forming the correct shape and separation of condensed coding sequences in the genome, regardless of any other possible function that those non-coding sequences have: in essence, this would be an “explanation” for the persistence in genomes of sequences to which no “function” (in terms of evolutionarily-selected activity), can be ascribed (or, at least, no substantial function).”

“Adam and Eve Are Possible: A Second Bite at the Genetic Apple”BreakPoint
“An oft-repeated claim by skeptics is that geneticists have disproved the possibility of Adam and Eve. Because existing human genetic diversity is so great, there can be no original couple from whom all people are descended. Or, that’s what we’re told.”

“Jesus is King & Kanye West”GoodLion Podcast Network
“For 27 minutes I watched as each barber, who usually only watches his language when children are in the shop, seemed to be locked in on every word. Their interest peaked with each bar (line in a song), to the verge of almost raising their hands to worship. When the album ended there wasn’t disdain or disgust, but they hit repeat and even turned the volume louder the second time through. Dialogue then broke out in the shop, and not the usual chatter about sports or conspiracy theories like who really shot TuPac; but these conversations were about church, faith and Jesus.”

“The Gift of Prophecy”Back to Basics
“Can those who are not in a teaching position receive this gift? Of course. As we have already stated, any believer can potentially manifest any one of the gifts of the Spirit. Prophecy can come through someone simply quoting a Scripture or by passing on a phrase or an idea that God has impressed on his or her mind.”
