(WND)—Somewhere in New England, cloistered away, is the brave, lone holdout from the Lindsay Clancy case. Hated by the left, he is the one who caused a mistrial in the case because his conscience couldn’t approve of a woman getting away with the systematic strangling of her children.
He is in hiding because there may be serious threats on his life from what we could call “the shock troops of tolerance.”
How is it that those who claim to be “progressive” so often advocate the promotion of death and the abrogation of life?
What is this love affair with death that seems to characterize many on the left today?
We see it in abortion. We see it in the push for euthanasia. The push for mercy killing of the aged and infirm begins on a voluntary basis, but soon slides into involuntary acts.
For example, thegatewaypundit.com reports on a story of Canada, where euthanasia has become all too common: “Family Recounts Chilling Meetings with Doctors, Nurses Before Beloved Grandmother Was Euthanized, Allegedly Against Her Will and Theirs.”
Patrick Clancy appeared on CBS’s “60 Minutes” and said of Callan, one of his three children strangled by his estranged wife, Lindsay, “I really thought there was a chance that Callan would live. … And remember just thinking, ‘Just gimme one. Just gimme one kid,’ and I would raise him as best I could.'” It was not to be.
The founders of America declared that the Creator has endowed us with certain unalienable rights, and among these are the rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Thomas Jefferson, author of the first draft of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, said 41 years later, in 1817, that our rights are based on the precepts of “the King of kings.”

Anyone familiar with the Bible knows that he was referring to Jesus Christ. Christ said that He came to give us life and that more abundantly, whereas the enemy of our souls comes to “steal, kill, and destroy.”
Charlie Kirk once told me in an interview: “The idea of inalienable rights [from our nation’s founders] is totally at odds with the woke. You see, they don’t believe in a God. They don’t believe in the eternal and transcendent purpose now. Instead, they believe that there is no purpose. There is no meaning. And the woke is just a filler term for what we have been fighting on the spiritual domain for the last couple thousand years.”
Those who hate God love death.
Mother Teresa once spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast. It was in 1994, and she asked a question then that still applies today: “And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?”
Is it just a coincidence that the same state in which the governor surrounded herself with gleeful women many weeks ago as she signed into law a bill that allows for abortion up to the moment of birth, is where many women seemed to cheer on Lindsay Clancy in her case?
It’s interesting to note an important speech from the founder (for all practical purposes) of what would later become the state of Massachusetts. John Winthrop led hundreds of Puritans in 1630 to found Boston. As they were aboard the lead ship, Arabella, Winthrop preached a sermon, “A Model of Christian Charity.”
It is from this speech that comes his famous statement (echoing Jesus in the Bible), “For we must consider that we should be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people shall be upon us.”
Winthrop’s sermon was based on Deuteronomy 30, a passage that climaxes with two words: “Choose Life.” The point of the message was to choose the Lord, and as such, they would be choosing life. But if they were rejecting the one true God, they would be effectively embracing death.
Here is the closing of Winthop’s speech: “Therefore let us choose life – that we, and our seed may live, by obeying His voice and cleaving to Him, for He is our life and our prosperity.”
Choose Life, not death. Choose the Lord, not the evil one, who hates our souls.
In the book of Proverbs, mostly written by Solomon, Chapter 8 features Wisdom personified as a woman calling unto all people to follow her principles, which come from the Lord.
Here is what Wisdom has to say: “Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it. Blessed is the one who listens to me … but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death.”
Note the power of that last statement. The Wisdom of God Almighty says, “All who hate me love death.” Are we not seeing that principle at work in our age?
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
