No More Mr. Nice God – RedState
There is a popular meme, generally presenting one of the many paintings created over the centuries illustrating John 2: 13-17 (or Matthew 21: 12-13, or Mark 11: 15-17, or Luke 19: 45-46). The text of the meme is read as follows: “If someone asks you”, “What would Jesus do?”, Remember what to return the tables and chase people with a whip in the field of possibilities. “”
I have very much reached my limit to tolerate and not the liberals in itselfAs I have inseparable family and friends who live on the other side of the aisle. Instead, it is when the self-assured “progressives” relentlessly produce the most vile and most filled wedge of imaginable lies directly against anyone who dares to think differently. Or think about the period.
It is in this spirit of having reached the limits of my patience that I offer the last episode of my Podcast Cephas Hour. Amid Songs Chosen for Both Their Artistic Quality and Deep Messaging, There is commentary Addressing How the God Scaffers Among Use the Tragedy of the 2025 Kerr Centy, Texas Flooding and the Cloying Self-Righty Posting CHRISTIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY POPLE CONDEMNING Form dc Talk and Newsboys singer Michael Tait for his horrific sins While Failing to see their Wallowing in Pride’s Mudpuddle Asy Regularly Slander Conservative.
You can listen to the Podcast on asking on its website (https://cephashour.com/2025/07/05/cephas-hour-episode-141-release-date-julry-5-2025/) or wherever you get your podcasts other than Spotify. I hope you enjoy it and thank you.

While I record this episode on July 5, 2025, certain parts of Texas are in shock from the effects of torrential rain storms, causing sudden floods which unfortunately took the lives of tens. The most tragic is how the floods have devastated a Christian girl camp, with many dead or currently unabled campers.
It is impossible to envisage more devastating pain than the loss of a child. The concerns and concerns of this world immediately fall into insignificance in relation to such sadness. At a time like this, we all remember the puny nature of humanity when the forces of nature go back to their often ugly head. We see, or at least, we must see how the fragile nature of our lives should always lead us to the arms of a loving Savior whose death substituted on the cross and the triumphant climb of the dead promises us what we can never deliver for ourselves. Namely, eternal life and love.
The mockers will make fun of these moments, delicately asking why the god of love allowed the innocent little girls to drown and families to suffer. The words of Christ reprimands indirectly, but with force, such stupidity.
Now there was a present at that time which spoke to Jesus Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus replied, “Do you think these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered in this way?” I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too think more guilty than all the others who live in Jerusalem? I tell you! But unless you are spreading anymore.
As David wrote in the Psalms:
As a father has compassion on his children,
The Lord therefore has compassion on those who fear it;
Because he knows how we are trained,
He remembers that we are dust.
The life of mortals is like grass,
They thrive like a flower in the field;
The wind blows on it and it is gone,
And its place no longer remembers it.
But from eternity to eternity
Lord’s love is with those who fear it,
and his justice with the children of their children –
with those who keep his alliance
And don’t forget to obey his precepts.
It is also up to us to remind us that even if we are shaking and that we base in front of nature, nature itself trembles and melts in front of the all-powerful God. We fear the wind, rain, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other forms of natural anger. How much more do we have to fear the one who created, and over time to reject, such forces? However, he protects us and loves us. Not always in the way and the way we prefer. But always in its perfect way, while waiting for eternal life.

In recent weeks, the Christian music industry has been shaken for all bad reasons by a set of allegations made against the former singer of DC Talk and Newboys Michael Tait. The accusations include the abuse of alcohol and drugs, as well as sexual abuse and odious assaults which, if they are true, should lead to the arrest and imprisonment of several parts.
Given that even if I moved away from the Christian music industry in 1994 to return 11 years later as an independent writer and podcaster for music and the artists I love, something detailed in my book, I know that people are always in the company and therefore have a prospect concerning the relay and the tutut which are currently taking place in the industry. The first is that there are no secrets in the business. Even if we laughed at the Hollywood elite which fell surprised and indignation when the truth about Harvey Weinstein has become public, so we have to look punctually on people in the Christian music industry who claim that they had no idea of what was going on. Did everyone know? No, I didn’t do it. However, many have done so, and for any reason, they chose to remain silent.
My second thought is that I am a little less than to entertain entertaining the dishes and the indignation of people in the company by tearing out what happened when they author of the declarations like this:
And this friendly recall on the primary day: if you are a Christian vote for Donald Trump, you have either lost your faith or you have lost your mind.
Thank you, Steve.
Finally, God does not tolerate sins or vanish free prison cards as if life was a form of cosmic monopoly. There is no inexpensive grace, and there is no exhaust of the consequences of our actions in this world. He forgives the penitent, and he works with powerful actions through the most fragile and erroneous people imaginable. It is now time to throw our self-justice indignation, to respect the truth in the truism that there, but for the grace of God, and remember that when Paul wrote to the Romans that all have sinned and do not fear the glory of God, all the means-everything.
