Former Pink Floyd songwriter Roger Waters could face prosecution after declaring his support for Palestine Action, a terrorist organization that has been banned by Parliament in the U.K.

Waters posted a video to X on Saturday, in which the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame inductee praised Palestine Action as a "great organization," while also giving kudos to Bob Vylan, who led the Glastonbury Festival crowd in a chant, shouting, "Death, death to the IDF."

Waters said in his video that he was in his studio and was working on a piece of brown cardboard with a Sharpie.

He then switched the camera from his face to the cardboard.

"We certainly call on Democrats to tone down their rhetoric against ICE and border patrol agents... I would encourage AOC and other Democrats to actually meet with the United States Border Patrol. These are honorable Americans who are simply trying to do their job to enforce the law."

I've been saying the same for quite some time.

An Episcopal Church court has sided with a Virginia priest who was disciplined for engaging in a “Eucharistic fast” in protest against white supremacist racism.

The Rev. B. Cayce Ramey had been disciplined by the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia for his refusal to administer holy communion during worship services due to his belief that the denomination needed to better embrace racial justice.

The Court of Review for the Episcopal Church announced last week that it ruled10-6 in favor of Ramey, believing that the earlier Hearing Panel made multiple errors in their decision.

Please pray for my aunt. She was diagnosed with vasculitis and several days later she was in the hospital. Now she is on kidney dialysis. Please pray for her healing. She is a Christian with a kind heart, and my cousins live far away so it is hard for them to visit her.

This was a major cut to Medicaid. I don't think taxpayers should be forced to pay for Planned Parenthood.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

I come humbly before you to share an offering - a tabernacle not built by hands, but crafted with intention and love.

This space is meant to be a sanctuary for reflection on divine meekness and the profound mystery of the Cross. It is a place where hearts can rest, thoughts can deepen, and the Spirit can gently lead us into truth.

I have written a reflection titled GodAndMeekness which explores how the Cross reveals God's power through perfect surrender to love. It is available freely to all who wish to enter this tabernacle of contemplation, to view and to share their own testimonies and insights.

You can access it here: bit.ly/GodAndMeekness

May this invitation serve as a gentle call to holy dialogue - a place to listen, to ponder, and to grow together in love and understanding.

Thank you for your gracious hearts and willingness to walk this journey of faith.

In Christ's peace and meekness,

MrMeek

Just normal police work in America according to some of our friends here on these boards. Everyone remembers when Obama militarized American cities to enforce his agenda.

So finally after years and years of trying I got down from nearly 450 pounds to 408 pounds so far all without bariatric surgery or without weight loss medication and all with the Lords help and with eating less and eating a somewhat healthy diet. Let's face it, I still eat subway nearly 4x a week I order out for pizza 3-4x a month I eat burger King and have a whopper maybe once a month. I dont eat totally healthy in fact my sodium consumption is ridiculous but its going to be when you're low class and all you can afford are high sodium foods. Hey at least i eat fresh spinach everyday because spinach is $2 for a big container of it!

In all seriousness though? Despite losing weight I still can't move around very much and I still can't do very much my muscles are still very weak from my blood clots that should have killed me 3 years ago and the lithium poisoning that left me nearly crippled months before the blood clots happened. Im still a stroke or heart attack waiting to happen. Im a year away from hitting my 40th birthday and even if i lose a good 100-150 pounds by my 40th which is very possible at the rate im going im still very weak and im afraid of a stroke or heart attack that could leave me crippled permanently which at my age and my weight is a very real possibility. I've been obese ever since I was a child in the second grade and ive been over 350 pounds for almost 15 years now and over 200 pounds since my 13th-14th birthday. So ive always been a big guy. Even when I was first born I was a nearly 12 pound baby. So ive always been big.

Even when I reach my goal weight of like 280 pounds or so im still going to be a big guy. Im just not going to look like a blue whale anymore. But honestly? Id like prayer that I not only lose the weight I need to lose and that its successful so that I can live as long of a life as humanly possible but also that I dont live the rest of my life as a vegetable. I dont care if I have to live the rest of my life on a cane or walker but I want to be able to stand still for longer than 1-2 minutes at a time I want to be able to walk longer than 2-3 minutes. I want to be mobile and active. I dont care if my brain is shot but I want to be able to walk at least! Being a vegetable stuck sitting 24 hours a day having to sit here and only being able to get up to use the restroom and do occasional exercises just isnt cutting it for me and im just afraid losing another 100 pounds wont do that for me. But... maybe im wrong. So let's pray together that not only will I be able to lose the weight that I need to lose like whats been happening but also that, im also not a vegetable afterwards and hopefully I don't have stroke along the way that just permanently cripples me to the point where I can't do anything...

After months of touting the impending release of new, blockbuster information on accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, the Justice Department announced in a memo Monday that there is no evidence he kept a “client list” or was murdered.

The Justice Department also does not plan to release any new documents in the matter, it said Monday.

Tech mogul's new political movement comes one day after Trump signed $3.3T 'big, beautiful bill' into law​

Elon Musk says the two-party system is broken, and he just launched a new political party to prove it.

On Saturday, Musk announced on X, the social media platform he owns, the formation of the "America Party," calling it a direct response to what he described as a corrupt political establishment that no longer represents the American people.

The announcement followed a viral July 4 poll on X, where Musk asked whether voters wanted independence from what he called the "two-party (some would say uniparty) system."

As rescue crews in Texas continued to search for 41 people still missing, including 10 girls and a counselor from a Christian camp, after catastrophic floods left at least 82 dead across Central Texas, the White House Faith Office released a statement Sunday calling on Americans to pray, quoting Psalm 34:18.

In a statement sent to The Christian Post, the Faith Office urged the nation “to join us in prayer for the precious lives lost.”

The statement added, “Amidst this tragedy, our nation must come together to pray for the victims, their families, and the first responders conducting rescue missions to find those still missing. May God wrap his loving arms around all those in Texas,” quoting Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

I think some of you had heard of the poisonous mushroom case in Victoria, Australia.

The court case has been dragging on for the better part of two years, but a guilty verdict was handed down today.


I presume there will be an appeal, psycholgical and psychiatric evaluation and so on, but Erin Patterson will spend her first night in prison today. Sentence has not yet been passed.

An Australian doctor received the "Life Saving Cross" for his work in saving the life of a Lithuanian adventurer when he amputated one leg underwater in the Franklin River in Tasmania. He accepted it on behalf of everybody else who was involved in the rescue.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda presented Jorian "Jo" Kippax with the Life Saving Cross at the presidential palace in the country's capital on July 6, the country's Statehood Day.

The Lithuanian bloke is tough. He still wants to go back and do the Franklin River trip again, even if he's mssing part of one leg.

This might seem a bit odd as a news item on the Forum, but it's better news that Russians and Ukrainians, or Israelis and Palestinians killing each other.

If we are serving the Lord Jesus Christ with our lives, and if we are following him in his ways, obeying his commands, living for him and for his will and purpose for our lives, by the grace of God, in the power of God, by faith in the Lord Jesus, we are going to have enemies, even among those who profess faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord. Even within the gatherings of the church (or the false church) we will have professing Christians who will oppose us and who will want nothing to do with us because of our faith.

For we live in a day and age like the Bible tells about where..


But it isn’t just that, but it is that, too. But many who are following the Christian faith and doctrine, as they were taught it, have been brainwashed into rejecting some biblical truth, and thus they have also been trained to reject certain people who are teaching that truth, too. For the modern gospel being taught today does not require death to sin and walks of obedience to the Lord and surrender of our lives to Christ to do his will and purpose for our lives. But they teach a friendlier version of the gospel, pleasing to flesh.

They teach a “nice” version of the gospel which is more appealing and less offensive to the ungodly so that they can “draw in large crowds of people from the world” into their gatherings. They don’t want to offend people with the truth of the gospel as Jesus taught it, and as his New Testament apostles taught it, in the correct biblical context, so they alter it to make it more user friendly. So they don’t stress the importance of death to sin and obedience to the Lord, but rather an altered “friendlier” version of God’s grace.

So many of them now make it their practice to teach certain Scriptures out of their biblical context so that they can make them say what they do not say if taught in the correct context. And so they end up twisting the words to make them say what they want them to say, and from that many of them are teaching a false doctrine of salvation, which has many followers, but which is sending people straight to hell on the promise of heaven. But if you teach the truth, you are called a heretic or legalistic or a false teacher.

And they make it their practice to ignore many Scriptures which do not fit in with their philosophy and to focus only one ones that they can make support their false gospel messages. Obviously those who make this their practice are not following Jesus Christ in truth and in righteousness. Many of them are “wolves in sheep’s clothing” who have entered the sheepfold by another way other than by the way of the cross of Christ. And they are lying to the people and leading them to reject the truth and to believe the lies.

So, if you are a servant of the Lord Jesus, who is teaching the truth of the Scriptures, in their correct context, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to the best of your understanding, as a diligent and dedicated student of the Scriptures who is a seeker of truth, you will be opposed by these charlatans and their followers who have been convinced that the truth is a lie, and that the lie is the truth, because it makes no requirements of them that they must cease with their sinful practices and now obey God with their lives.

But the Lord is our strength and our helper and our deliverer if we are on his side, which is the side of truth and righteousness, death to sin, and walks of obedience to our Lord in surrender to his will. So we can take refuge in our Lord when we are opposed, criticized, called names, cast aside, rejected, unwanted, and thought badly of. And he may not deliver us physically from some of this opposition, but he will deliver us spiritually and emotionally from their impact on our lives so that we have courage to keep obeying God.

And sometimes this opposition may turn into some serious persecution, and we might, at times, feel as though we are at death’s door, or as though we have lost all hope, or as though the enemy is gaining victory over us. But we must call upon the Lord for help, to be our strength, believing that he is fully sovereign over every aspect of our lives and that nothing can happen to us unless God allows it, and if he allows it, that he will carry us through it, even to our deaths, in some cases. For he will fulfill his purpose for our lives.

Blessed are you when you’re persecuted
Because of your faith in Jesus Christ.
Blessed are you when people insult you,
And falsely say what leads folks to doubt.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is
Great in the heavens. You’re not alone.

When you are persecuted in one place,
Flee to another. God will be there.
You will be hated by all the nations
Because you testify of God’s grace.
Many will seize you and persecute you,
And put to death the foll’wers of Christ.

Yet do not fear what humans may do to you,
For I’m with you all through the night.
I tell you, love your enemies with my love,
And forgive as I forgave you.
Pray for those who do evil against you.
Rest in my love and grace from above.

This year marks 500th anniversary of movement's founding




2025 is a year of anniversaries. From the 1700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed to the 80th anniversary of VE Day, there are many milestones to reflect on. Another one is the 500th anniversary of the founding of the Anabaptist movement — a chapter in Christian history that is not so well known.

Who were the Anabaptists?

The Anabaptists were radical reformers who emerged during the Protestant Reformation. Unlike other reformers who sought to revise the existing church structures, Anabaptists envisioned an entirely new kind of Christian community — one rooted not in state power or tradition, but purely in the radical teachings of Jesus.

“We will not dwell on Justice Jackson’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself,” she began. “We observe only this: Justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary,” she added.

Someone needed to say it.

I haven't really decided if I should stay at my local parish or retain membership at the Diocesan Cathedral (I don't know anyone at the local parish except the RCIA director, sort of) but I'll probably do the latter even if I sometimes attend the former. Anyway, a new priest got assigned at the local parish and I'm so impressed with his homily for this Sunday. He's down to earth but he's so on fire for God and so motivating that I could not help but feel profoundly moved. I think I really like this one. I was saddened by the departure of the most recent Parochial Vicar but this new Parochial Vicar seems great. I don't know how welcoming he is on an individual level, yet. I know that PVs don't stay that long. The regular priests in our Diocese tend to stay at a parish, once they've been assigned, unless they're young, lol. (That's what it seems to me)
