America, more than any other nation in world history, was shaped by the Christian tradition of spreading the gospel unto all nations.
Join us in celebrating International Religious Freedom Day.

We're supposed to take care of the poor, but the scriptures never say that's the government's responsibility. That's the church's responsibility.

If this Elizabeth Holmes doc is the first time you’re hearing about Nathan Fielder, you are NOT ready to just jump right in. You need to prep. You need to train. You need to build up your secondhand embarrassment tolerance first. Nathan Fielder is advanced-level discomfort.

If you genuinely relate to Lindsay Clancy, here’s your emergency checklist:
- Log off TikTok
- Get away from your children
- Make sure a safe adult is caring for them
- Get serious help
- Do not return to parenting until you’re 100% recovered

People think socialism works because they have the wrong view of human nature. It doesn't work.

Pray as if everything depended on God, but work as if everything depended on you.

I want to ask the students screaming “Death to America”, do you have any idea what happens when American values die?
Because I do.
My family fled Iran, a country where freedom died. You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.
You think America is oppressive because you have never experienced real oppression.
You think silence is violence because you’ve never been silenced.
You think words are dangerous because you have never watched a government drag someone away for speaking them.
You think capitalism is evil because you have never stood in a bread line.
You think borders are immoral because you have never had to flee across one.
You think revolution is romantic because you have never had a revolution take everything from you.
I have.
And that’s why I refuse to be quiet.

One of the greatest evidences that Christianity is true is this:
The Bible doesn't flatter its heroes.
Noah gets drunk.
Abraham lies.
Moses loses his temper and murders someone.
David commits adultery and murder.
Peter denies Christ.
Thomas doubts.
Paul calls himself the chief of sinners.
Ancient myths make their heroes larger than life. Scripture tells the truth about mankind because its purpose isn't to exalt men. It's to exalt Christ.

You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.
She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.
And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.
To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.
I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?
Then I realized I was the wife.
I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.
And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”
He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”
That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.
He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.
Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.
Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.
The cross was Him naming the price.
Praise the Lord.

On the same day Sony told a billion gamers to embrace digital forever, it quietly showed them the catch.
Two announcements, one blog, an hour apart.
First: from January 2028, no new PlayStation game will ship on a disc, digital only.
Second, buried below: Sony is closing the online stores for the PlayStation 3 and Vita, so you will no longer be able to buy games there at all.
Read together, they are not two stories. They are the whole argument about what you actually own.
A disc is the last thing in your home a Silicon Valley company cannot reach. A PlayStation game from 1994 still works today, and the law lets you resell it, lend it, keep it forever.
That is ownership. It is protected by something called the first-sale doctrine, and it applies to physical objects. It does not apply to digital purchases. That is not Sony being cruel. That is the quiet legal truth underneath the whole shift.
Sony's own spokesperson said it plainly today. With all digital content, you are not buying the game. You are buying a personal license for non-commercial use. Not the thing. Permission to use the thing, which depends on the company's servers and goodwill. They once pulled a game called Concord two weeks after launch. Buyers got refunds, but the game itself simply vanished.
This was never really about discs versus downloads. It is about moving the largest entertainment medium on Earth from a world where you own an object the law protects, to one where you hold access the law treats as rented.
Convenient, cheaper, and easier for almost everyone. Also revocable in a way a disc never was.
The click of a disc into a console was ownership. The download is permission. Sony just showed you, in a single morning, how differently the two age.
Do you agree with what Sony did??

makes about as much sense as us changing to digital pizzas
Important updates:
News on physical discs for new games - play.st/4v86Wg3
News on PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita - play.st/4vEN9FX
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Sony is pushing a digital monopoly: ending physical discs and closing PS3/Vita stores turns purchases into revocable licenses under Sony’s control.
The EU penalized Apple for comparable DMA abuses; PlayStation is eroding ownership and consumer choice the same way.

The average student graduates after 12 years of schooling and still cannot answer the most important questions in life.
What is a good man?
What is justice?
What is worth sacrificing for?
What is beauty?
What is truth?
What is the purpose of life?
Classical education begins with the assumption that any education failing to address these questions is not really education at all.
