Keira Bell, 23, who as a teen transitioned to male but came to regret it. The case set in motion a focus on puberty blockers which is now influencing other countries to radically overhaul the treatment of children with gender dysphoria…. Bell was given puberty blockers as a teenager after only three hours of consultation at the Tavistock Clinic, London, which runs England’s only National Health Service (NHS) gender identity development service (GIDS). Initially, her case won a judgement that children under the age of 16 considering gender reassignment were unlikely to be considered mature enough to give informed consent to be prescribed puberty-blocking drugs.

DeSantis Signs Bill Requiring High Schools to Observe ‘Victims of Communism Day’ – Epoch Times
“We want to make sure that every year folks in Florida, but particularly our students, will learn about the evils of communism, the dictators that have led communist regimes, and the hundreds of millions of individuals who suffered and continue to suffer under the weight of this discredited ideology,” DeSantis said Monday morning. The Victims of Communism organization has estimated that communist regimes have caused the deaths of at least 100 million people via political purges, religious persecutions, mass starvation, and other crimes against humanity during the 20th century. Chief among those regimes is the CCP, which is believed to have left around 80 million Chinese people dead.
1 Corinthians 6:15-20 On Sexual Sin, Part 2 of 2
This post looks at the teachings of SBC pastor J D Greear on sexual sin, comparing them to 1 Corinthians 6:15-20; MacArthur’s Bible Commentary explanations are used to explain scripture. Greear stated his beliefs about sexual sin in the one-minute video below; thereafter, you will find verses 15-20 of 1 Corinthians 6 and explanations of that text from the MacArthur Bible Commentary. There is a vast difference between Greear’s stance and that of the Bible. I am speculating that this difference derives from the SBC’s having incorporated Marxist’s ideologies via Resolution 9 whereby they deemed that CRT and intersectionality could be used “as an analytical tool subordinate to scripture.”
John MacArthur Rebukes Woke Evangelicals for Perverting the Gospel
The 2-minute video in this post, by pastor John MacArthur, calls for discernment via the critiquing of the CRT movement at the SBC. That is not the only place it has been advocated by undiscerning and unbiblical preachers, however. Pastor MacArthur called it just the most recent example of human philosophy coming to fruition.

The Real ‘Reset’ Is Coming – Victor Davis Hanson – Epoch Times Commentary
We saw that last year: fleeing from Afghanistan, the embrace of critical race theory, trying to end the filibuster, pack the court, junk the Electoral College, and nationalize voting laws. These “new orders” and “resets” always entail far bigger government and more unelected, powerful bureaucracies. Elites assume that their radical changes in energy use, media reporting, voting, sovereignty, and racial and ethnic quotas will never quite apply to themselves, the architects of such top-down changes. So we common folk must quit fossil fuels, but not those who need to use corporate jets. Walls will not mar our borders but will protect the homes of Nancy Pelosi, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates….
