Which will history remember best, a man who put on a woman’s swimsuit and won medals competing against women or a woman who stood up to the cancel culture that cheered him on?
Who will get a chapter, Lia Thomas or Riley Gaines?
I guess it depends on who wins the culture wars that are going on now. We often focus on the corrupt partisan judges and bought-off district attorneys. We get hot under the collar at politicians and who is running the country. At the same time we keep buying Nike’s and vacationing at Disneyland. Put aside the idea of civil war and violence. I have a feeling that if you are not willing to set aside Mickey Mouse and Ben and Jerry’s you would not be manning the ramparts any way.
As much power as they seem to have, understand that the deep state and George Soros could do nothing if we would not cooperate. I just read how Hitler called off a boycott of Jewish businesses because their prices were so good the population did not cooperate. Learn to make discerning decisions. My family stopped passing any money to the Disney Empire years ago. We won’t even buy their used stuff in yard sales and yet we keep hearing about the great time our friends had at Disney World. They don’t seem to want to understand. Disney finances their box office bombs with the ones that do well and the parks people visit.
Remember Mervyns’? Many people don’t. They shut down not too many years after Christians started boycotting. Interestingly they were bought out by Target before they decided to kick out the Salvation Army and go woke. Do you still have a K-Mart in your neighborhood? We have an empty building that used to be a K-Mart. They started declining after we boycotted them. It may not make any difference if you don’t do anything but it will do even less if no one takes a stand.
There are inconveniences involved. If we don’t go the extra mile now the inconveniences may become genuine hardships.
Pray. Speak out. Stand up. Take a risk. The chances may not come very often so keep your eyes open while you still can.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
