People are clearly done with the NBA, and they’ve had enough.

Like all progressive groups, The Satanic Temple came out in support of Black Lives Matter. The Satanic Temple, which distinguishes itself from its rival, The Church of Satan, through its rigorously progressive politics while accusing The Church of Satan of libertarianism, put out a statement by co-founder Lucien Greaves that blasted President Trump and accused the police of randomly killing black people that could have come from any random leftist organization. “I watched with dismay as, in reaction to the election of Donald Trump, the least qualified, least dignified, least competent president in all of U.S. history,” complained Greaves, whose...

The great Bible Prophecy teacher, Jan Markell, has often said something like this: “Things aren’t falling apart; things are falling into place.” A pastor recently sent her an e-mail that said, “We don’t live in uncertain times. Not at all! These times are as certain as any time in all of human history, and the God of the universe laid out this time in great detail, point by point, and in fact, with all the detail needed by His people to live in times of absolute certainty! So no, there’s nothing uncertain about the times we live in to the...
