Christians should reject the backward theology of teachers who twist the character of Christ to punish their political enemies.“Never Trump. This time Harris. Always Jesus.” These were the words not of Taylor Swift or Pete Buttigieg but of Ray Ortlund, a card-carrying member of “Big Eva,” in a recent Threads post.In his opinion, following Jesus means rejecting Donald Trump and embracing Kamala Harris this election.Ortlund is the founder of and pastor at Immanuel Church in Nashville, where Christianity Today editor-in-chief and outspoken ex-Southern Baptist Russell Moore is coincidentally the minister in residence. Ortlund recently joined a webinar from the left-wing...

A tiny town in North Carolina that’s just been devastated by hurricane Helene could end up severely disrupting the global supply chain for microchips and solar panels. Nestled in the Appalachian mountains, the community of Spruce Pine, population 2,194, is known for its hiking, local artists and as America’s sole source of high-purity quartz. Helene dumped more than 2 feet of rain on the town, destroying roads, shops and cutting power and water. But its reach will likely be felt far beyond the small community.

Russian military sources have claimed the deployment of a super-powerful bomb on the Ukrainian city of Vovchansk.
