As some of you are aware, Refuge Church in Ogden, Utah has a growing voice in our cultural melee (especially on X), and they are aligned with us in many ways. However, much like Revoice attempted to keep the door of flamer sympathy cracked open in the PCA, the leadership in Ogden continues to conduct a sympathetic bromance with the cancers of racial spite, malice, vainglory, and pagan, tribal hate. They are doing exactly what the Feds want men on the right to do in this regard, standing politely on the dots painted for them by the left, sharing and platforming folly, sin, and self-owns whenever Federal Agent Trainee Samuel Holden drops another white boy vid laced with poo. (All to the great acclaim of Feds, spite bots, and anons.)
Holden’s first vid included homage to the American Nazi Party and Hitler’s Berlin Olympics. In his most recent, nestled in among barrels of commercial grade schlock lifted from everything from pharma commercials to It’s a Wonderful Life, Agent Trainee Holden tucked in a movie clip of a Santa character fresh off murdering a Jew with a menorah, bumping into and glaring at more Jews on a sidewalk. Don’t blame us, we’re just noticing.  Â
We now find ourselves in something like that scene in Prince Caspian when Nikabrik and the black dwarves want to ally with ghouls and witches and Jew-killing Santas. Like Trufflehunter and Trumpkin, we won’t do it.
What fellowship does light have with darkness (2 Cor. 6:14)? We have better things to do, and better places to go. We have fights we want to win, rather than positions we want to undermine and discredit.
Within a few years, Ogden will have either fully succumbed and been torn apart by the poison they currently decline to resist, or, by God’s grace, they will eventually stand and fight and triumph over this toxic nonsense. In the latter case, if and when that time comes, we will rejoice to have gained wiser and more battle-tested allies.
Meanwhile, we expect that Ogden will continue to throw tomatoes in our direction. So be it. If the good guys win out in the end down there, we won’t hold it against them.
