Rob Moll, author of “The Art of Dying,” dies in 100 foot fall on Mt. Rainier

“Saying goodbye requires a willingness to die. One cannot be ready to enter eternity while fighting tooth and nail to keep out of it.” — Rob Moll

  • IVP: Rob Moll, author and editor, dies at 41
  • A goodbye to a man who taught us how to look at death
    • “There are so many other things that take our attention. So much noise. So many tweets and viral videos and Facebook feuds. So many worries. So much time spent on our phones, checking our statuses. So much to do. So little time to think about the end of life. And then one of our friends is gone and death takes over. All the noise grinds to a halt. All the busyness is over.”
  • BOOK: The Art of Dying
    • “We need not accept death; it is evil. But, when God calls us home, we do need to be willing, like Jesus in the garden, to take the cup given to us.”

Rob Moll: Dying Well

  • “The Christian tradition of dying well offers a kind of hope that doesn’t depend on medical cures, but rather spiritual and relational preparation, just the kind of death, polls show, that people wish for. Christianity may still be efficacious.”

Fr. Paul Scalia’s Funeral Homily for his father, Justice Antonin Scalia

RNS: (LIBERAL) Faith groups urge State Department to abolish new ‘unalienable’ rights commission

  • “…this is in actuality an effort to provide intellectual top cover to what is really an exercise in circumscribing the rights of gay people and laying the foundation for a particular position within the abortion wars.”

CT: Pew’s Religious Literacy Survey: American’s who know religion best hold worse views of Evangelicals

  • “While few in the US can parse Protestant theology or define the prosperity gospel, evangelicals were among the top-performing faith groups in a religious literacy quiz, ranking after Jews, atheists, and agnostics and above other Christian affiliations and religious nones.”

CT: Ligonier Ministries State of Theology Survey reveals “a surprising number of evangelicals affirm heretical beliefs”

CT: Evangelicals “favorite heresies” as revealed in Ligonier’s 2018 State of Theology Survey

Memorial honoring fallen police officers removed from city property after protests over “A Police Officer’s Prayer”

Jerry Falwell, Jr. to CNN: “I’m a college president and lawyer.” Implies he’s NOT a “Christian leader.”

John MacArthur: “Evangelicals of our generation seem pathologically addicted to the sin of desiring the praise of men.”

Pete Wehner: The Deepening Crisis in Evangelical Christianity

Jerry Tweets: “I have never been a minister. UVA-trained lawyer and commercial real estate developer…” Boasts about accomplishments.

He rocks in the treetops all day long
Hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet-tweet-tweet

Because, of course, only ministers, and not lawyers and commercial real estate developers who profess to be Christians, are required to behave like Christ.

“Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.” [Colossians 4:6]

Oh. Wait. I’m sorry. Jerry, Jr is a lawyer and a commercial real estate developer and a college president and NOT a Christian leader or a minister, so the Bible doesn’t apply to him. Sorry for the confusion.

TODAY’S GUEST: Glenn T. Stanton, Director of Global Family Formation Studies at Focus on the Family

FOLLOW UP: Conservative views cost beauty queen her crown

Alan Dershowitz: Mueller testimony was confusing and contradictory

  • “… the report should no longer be called the Mueller report. It seems quite clear that Mueller himself did not play a major role in compiling it or writing its conclusions. He did not seem familiar with its content, nor was he able to answer proper questions.”

Michael Goodwin: Mueller’s testimony equals end of any Trump impeachment talk

  • “…the 74-year old former FBI director was something of a figure-head for an investigation that was carried out by the team of zealots he ­assembled.”
  • “…the prosecutors were ­primarily people who had donated to Hillary Clinton and other Democrats or who otherwise made known their support for her.”
  • “… much of [the Mueller Report] reads as if it were written by Trump-hating reporters from The New York Times.”
  • “…from start to finish, Trump was targeted by partisan law enforcement officials who had no business being on the case. And yet, despite a probe that ran a combined three years, involved hundreds of witnesses, thousands of subpoenas and surveillance on Trump associates and maybe the president himself, investigators could find nothing — nothing! — worthy of a criminal charge.”

USA TODAY: Mueller’s testimony fails to galvanize nation to impeach Donald Trump

  • …Mueller provided no new firepower to Democrats trying to establish that Trump committed crimes. He reiterated that he didn’t find enough evidence to prove any criminal conspiracy between Russians and the Trump campaign.”

Meanwhile, the REAL investigation the media is ignoring…
