After helping a friend move last Saturday I sat down at 3Margaritas for dinner. I love Mexican and Tex-Mex food, and proudly ordered the Macho Burrito, asking my server only one question: "Does that come with a side of toxic masculinity?" For those who haven't heard, the term "toxic masculinity" started in America's most liberal college campuses and has become a topic for pundits on all the cable news shows. It is defined as a sharp focus on the pattern of bad behavior men exhibit, but it also is used as an excuse for feminists and others to criticize masculinity in general.
"Media" used to mean "print media" like books and newspapers, but the world has grown. Today media can also mean radio, television and movies delivered to personal computers, tablets and cell phones. As the world's best selling book of all time the Bible continues to make headlines, both good and bad, across all forms of media. The FFRF attempts to bully public schools (again) while Ken Ham offers those same schools liberty and protection, a California school violates student's first amendment rights, and Florida schools will start classes on religion and the Bible due to a democrat bill.

Gallup poll shows Americans are losing their religion, former heavy metal guitarist returns to Korn to show the rockin' world the true Rock Jesus, and iPhone maker Apple removes a Christian app ministering to the LGBTQ community from their iOS store.
I think I heard it first on Laura Ingraham's show on Fox News, a story of a substitute teacher who told his first-grade class that Santa Claus isn't real. Most think it monstrous that a person trusted to attend to children would destroy their joy, but there is a growing group of individuals who applaud his effort. Dr. David Johnson wrote in Psychology Today (December 12, 2012) that parents should stop telling the Santa Claus lie because " (1) It's an unjustified lie, (2) it risks damaging your parental trustworthiness and (3) it encourages credulity and ill-motivated behavior."

Lady Gaga attempts to shame Mike Pence and his wife for supporting a school with Biblical values while claiming to be a Christian herself, and a California pastor is ousted from his church after a sermon teaching the Bible's point of view on LGBTQ issues.
On January 3, hours after becoming House Speaker, congresswoman Nancy Pelosi expressed her view about building a border wall, "The wall is, in my view, immoral..." I'd like to know what her moral standard is because, although she is Catholic, it is not the Bible. Ever since King David built a wall around Jerusalem (a wall that Nehemiah rebuilt at God's leading), walls have been important to the nation of Israel. Even today, Israel walls off parts of their border with Egypt and around some Palestinian communities to keep terrorists at bay. Israel has known from its beginning that walls work.
As 2018 comes to a close we at Think-Biblically.com pause to reflect on the way God has blessed us, and how we can do better in the future. This year we had our 5th birthday and celebrated over 800 posts on the website. When examining the metrics for the year, we learned some valuable lessons and a little bit more about our gentle readers. For example, the 6th most read post isn't even a post, it's our statement of faith. That tells me that our audience is savy who make sure that what they read agrees with the Word of God.

Renown physicist and author of the "string theory" Micho Kaku supports intelligent design of the universe, a signet ring found in 1968 is determined to be the seal of Pontius Pilot, and two men are miraculously spared when they heed the voice of God.
Last Thursday's article Think-Biblically vs. Nancy Pelosi generated more email than any other article to date. The theme of the bulk of those emails was regarding undocumented immigrants and concern for their welfare. Specifically, the question regarding a Christian's responsibility to people in need — but this question was split into two distinct divisions (likely based on the writers perception of illegal immigration). One part of the question was about our responsibility to the needy in general and the other half was regarding a Christian's responsibility to the needy who are lawbreakers. The other big question was what is a Christian nations responsibility to the world's poor?

Jesus! (Kind of.)
