Last week a white American male sent many prominent Democrat Party elected officials and VIPs pipe bombs. The man responsible is a white nationalist.
Give ear to my words, O Lord;
give heed to my sighing.
Listen to the sound of my cry,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.
O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch.
(Psalm 5:1-3)
A white American male enters a synagogue during morning worship and kills 11 people, injuring several others. Before he does his evil, he goes on an anti-semitic tirade on social media claiming that the Jews are responsible for the Central American caravan.
For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil will not sojourn with you.
The boastful will not stand before your eyes;
you hate all evildoers.
You destroy those who speak lies;
the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful.
(Psalm 5:4-6)
A white American male kills two African-Americans in Kroger, and then proceeds to try to enter a black church. He is a white supremacist.
But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
will enter your house,
I will bow down towards your holy temple
in awe of you.
Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness
because of my enemies;
make your way straight before me.
(Psalm 5:7-8)
A white American male tells lies about the caravan of refugees seekers from Central America – stoking fear, division, and anger for political gain. He devalues and dehumanizes people who are not white American males.
For there is no truth in their mouths;
their hearts are destruction;
their throats are open graves;
they flatter with their tongues.
Make them bear their guilt, O God;
let them fall by their own counsels;
because of their many transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
(Psalm 5:9-10)
This white American male weeps and mourns of the evil that is done by other white American males. Protect your people, O Lord. Save your people from this evil. Keep your promises, O Lord.
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
so that those who love your name may exult in you.
For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you cover them with favor as with a shield.
(Psalm 5:11-12)
This White American male weeps as well.

I was being facetious.
The stories he recites are all found in (what used to be called) “Liberal Media” but these days the sources are called “Fake News”.
Pit Fake News against “Good News”/Gospel… Let the sparks fly. I think it’s a good idea for a discussion among American Christians these days.
Hey, Matt…
Do you ever take submissions (and I presume edit) guest blog posts?
I would be very interested in discussing “Fake News”, but I sense my offerings just would not fit on my blog. If you would be interested, I would work up a short post on the topic.

Let me think about that. I’ve never had a guest post before. Mostly because no one has ever asked. At any rate, I need to think a little about this.

John Kurt invited me to submit one to his site last year (I think it was), and he edited it, polished it up nice. Really improved it actually, but then the last thing before publishing, he wanted to use my real name in public. This was not negotiable by either him or me. We hit a stalemate. Sad. Good guy and all, and he has his reasons – which I respect, but anyway… if the answer is NO, then so be it. No hard feelings. But I figured it was worth asking…

Very well said. It took courage to actually speak about that American male bringing division to the country while “mourning” what others have done.
