Student Started Texting During Driving Test. Now Watch What The Instructor Does…

Daily Insider  "With all the PSAs and horrible statistics about texting and driving there are still young people around the world who die behind the wheel with their phones in their hands. This driving school opted for a different approach though… they forced their students to text and drive.
"You can watch the statistics all day long but you won’t understand how dangerous it is until you do it yourself. Watch if these drivers managed to pass the test and consider that the driving course is a walk in the park compared to the real life driving conditions.". . . 

Michael Horton on the Attraction of Trump

The Theology of Donald Trump

The Theology of Donald Trump  "Four words that reveal what his followers really believe."



. . . "While a theological analysis of other candidates would suggest many equally troubling assumptions of their evangelical followers, no candidate is more identified with the word evangelical as is Trump. The loyalty of his self-identified evangelical followers is especially startling to many.
"Let me suggest that the slender thread connecting Trump to the church is his occasional holiday appearances at Marble Collegiate Church, made famous by its pastor for 52 years, Norman Vincent Peale. Blending pop-psychology and spirituality, Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking (1952) remained on TheNew York Times bestsellers list for 186 weeks. Nicknamed “God’s Salesman,” Peale was criticized for trivializing Christianity. Reinhold Niebuhr said that he “corrupts the gospel,” and that he helps people “feel good, while they are evading the real issues of life.' 
 . . . "A more recent exponent of a feel-good gospel, Joel Osteen, has called Donald Trump “a friend of our ministry” and “a good man.” Trump has previouslytweeted, “Being associated with Joel is my great honor—he’s a fantastic man!”
. . .  "It is not that Trump has caused this transformation in portions of the so-called “evangelical electorate.” Rather, his candidacy has revealed the inner secularization of significant portions of the movement, which surveys have documented for some time now. Four theological words highlight the problem." . . .

Michael Horton is J. G. Machen Professor of Theology at Westminster Seminary California, host of the White Horse Inn, and the author of Core Christianity: Finding Yourself in God’s Story.

Muslims March in Germany Chanting “With Allah’s Help, We Shall Conquer You”

Unless God intervenes, the result of all this will be destruction of majestic cathedrals, to be replaced by mosques; the loss of all great works of art and music and a great darkness descending on the continent that the Nazis themselves could not have imagined. TD

Jim Hoft   "They seem to be assimilating quite well, no?
"Muslims march down a German street chanting, “With Allah’s help, we shall conquer you!' ”

. . . "While these things are nothing new, they should give us to ponder -when historians look back at these events, what will they think? If anything, we are witnessing the real-time death of one society in the same way that many previous civilization have perished- that is, unless the Europeans stand up for their Faith and lives in the same way their ancestors did in ages past…" . . .

Does none of this matter to those who adore this President?

Departed  "Pirro found herself the source of controversy once again when she discussed the attacks on the Western world at the hands of radical Islamists. She cited specifically the Philadelphia police attack and the terrorist attack in San Bernardino.
"Pirro commented that the Obama administration and Islamic radicals might as well be on the same side, because it is clear our ‘leader’ is not going to do anything to prevent these acts in the future.
Watch her comments below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Pirro?"
