North Korea: Diplomacy or War?
I was furious this morning after I finished reading my copy of today's Pyongyang Post, I mean the Washington Post. It is hard to tell the difference. The left-wing media's hyper-critical coverage of President Trump is matched only by the propaganda coming from North Korea's state-run media.
Here's the front page headline: "A Lack Of Coordination On North Korea." The Post was fretting that Trump's "fire and fury" threat had not been "formally vetted." Other articles suggested that the Administration was divided and was sending mixed messages.
Donald Trump is president of the United States. With whom exactly is he supposed to "formally vet" his own statements? And senior military aides today all said that the president is sending the right message.
Yet in multiple articles in that paper and in hundreds of commentaries all over America, there is one theme and it will have one effect. While America may be on the brink of a significant war with North Korea, left-wing media outlets are doing everything they can to weaken the commander-in-chief.

Absurdity of a Supreme Race
Any Bible believing Christian should be deeply grieved at the weekend events in Charlottesville, Virginia. Any thought of white supremacy or the priority of one shade of skin over another has to be a bad stench in the nostrils of God who made each and every human being in his own image (Gen 1:26-27).
Not only does such an idea contradict the biblical revelation of creation, it also mitigates against the intended target of the Great Commission by which Jesus commanded his disciples to reach and teach all nations (Matt 28:19-20). Such an international heartbeat extends from God’s creation through the great commission all the way to the grand consummation anticipated in Revelation 4 and 5 where people redeemed from every tribe tongue, nation, and people form an international choir that joins the angelic hosts in lauding and applauding the greatness of the Father and the Son for their ministry carried out throughout human history by means of the Holy Spirit.

Charlottesville and the Church’s Response
I know I’m not the only one who has been keeping track of what is happening in Charlottesville, VA, and feeling both sadness and anger at the same time. I returned to the United States this morning, to a country that seems to be bursting at the seams with tension, hatred, and division.
As a Christian leader watching all that unfolded surrounding today’s Unite the Right rally, which saw white nationalists, neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members (all making up what we sometimes call the alt-right) call for “taking America back,” my heart is grieving. And seeing the violent turn things took this afternoon, I am crushed.
Now, there are certainly bad people on all sides, but there are not “many sides” to this issue—this was a gathering of the alt-right and, whether you supported now-President Trump or not, . . .

The Alt-Right
It is not the responsibility of the president of the United States to make specific statements every time a gang of KKK cretins marches up and down a town square. I fear that we’ll never be rid of such people, and in normal times our political leaders are so far removed from hateful movements that no reasonable person could believe they had the slightest sympathy for that kind of vicious bigotry. But today was different, the alt-right movement is different, and this president is different.
Today, a person died. A car rammed into a crowd of left-wing protesters, sending bodies flying across the street. I won’t embed the footage, but it looks horrible, and it’s hard to escape the conclusion that it was intentional. The car rammed the crowd at speed, backed up, and sped away.
