Lippincott Publishers, Philadelphia " " "A minister was once speaking to a brother clergyman of his gratitude for a merciful deliverance he had just experienced.

3+ hour, 3+ min ago (683+ words) When Tucker Carlson sat across from Nick Fuentes and let him speak without resistance, what followed was justifiable outrage, with all the predictable clips and think pieces that comprise another round of culture-war exhaustion.

Young men, those with no platform of their own, were listening'not because Fuentes is insightful (he isn't), but because he speaks with the confidence of someone who claims to know the truth behind the curtain. That's the appeal. And the appeal isn't unique to Fuentes. Spend five minutes on TikTok or Telegram, and you'll hear young men swapping "hidden knowledge" about shadow elites, global cabals, secret networks, and World War III prophecies. You can even fall asleep to their murmurings. Some of them are absurd. Some of them are wicked'especially the antisemitic sludge Christians must condemn without qualification. The…...

In Galatians 5, the Apostle Paul lists sinful practices that characterize unbelievers' lives, then he contrasts them with attributes that characterize believers' lives, what we call "The Fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control These attributes are not lofty goals we can achieve through our own effort. Instead, they are the qualities that the Holy Spirit produces in the hearts of believers as they yield themselves to Him. As theologian Dietrich Bonhoffer said, "The fruit of the Spirit is a gift of God, and only He can produce it. They who bear it know as little about it as the tree knows of its fruit. They know only the power of Him on whom their life depends. (Bonhoeffer, Dietrich. The Cost…...
