Dear Remnant Church Family,

This Sunday, we continue our journey through Daniel with a message from Daniel 2:31–35 (ESV) titled:

“Let Him Cast the First Stone”

Nebuchadnezzar saw a terrifying statue: gold, silver, bronze, iron, and feet mixed with iron and clay. Then Daniel revealed the mercy hidden inside the nightmare. A Stone cut without human hands struck the image, shattered the kingdoms of man, and became a mountain that filled the whole earth.

This is not merely a prophecy chart. This is a revelation of the anatomy of every kingdom built without God.

The statue is impressive, but the feet are clay.

This week, we will look at the kingdoms of man, the weakness beneath their glory, the sacrificial systems they create, and the mercy of God who shows us the truth before judgment falls. We will also be reminded that the Church does not cast the Stone. Christ is the Stone. He alone is the sinless King. He alone judges rightly. And He alone saves sinners who fall before Him in repentance and faith.

Beloved, these are serious days, but we are not a people of panic. We are citizens of a Kingdom that cannot be shaken.

Come ready to worship, listen, repent, and be strengthened.

Christ is King!
Hail to the King!

Pastor John L. Widdifield

Dear Remnant Church family,

This week’s Midweek Refuel is now available:
The Lion, the Lamb, and the Critics Who Couldn’t Decide

We are continuing through G. K. Chesterton’s Orthodoxy, and this lesson deals with one of the strangest accusations the world makes against Christianity.

On one page, Christianity is accused of making men too meek, too passive, too sheep-like, too unwilling to fight.

Then the page turns, and Christianity is accused of making men too militant, too dangerous, too violent, too warlike.

So which is it?

Does Christianity make men sheep?
Or does Christianity make men lions?

Chesterton saw the contradiction, and it helped him realize that maybe Christianity was not the confused thing. Maybe the critics were.

This lesson became especially important to me because I believe young men need to hear it. Our culture is not training young men into holiness, courage, sacrifice, responsibility, and self-command. It is often training them into passivity, shame, confusion, or bitterness.

But Christ does not call men to be cowards.
And Christ does not call men to be brutes.

He calls them to be holy.

A passive man can be managed.A savage man can be provoked.
But a holy man under the lordship of Jesus Christ is dangerous in a way hell understands very well.

I hope you will watch this one, and I especially hope you will share it with a young man, a father, a brother, a son, or anyone who needs to hear that Christianity is not weakness and it is not savagery.

It is the way of the Lamb and the Lion.

You can watch the lesson here:

Cult of the Penguin and Remnant Studios are proud to present “Carry Us Home” — one of those rare songs that feels less like it was written and more like it was recovered.

This song is dedicated to my mother, Katherine Widdifield, and my father, John Widdifield, who gave me something far greater than shelter. They gave me a home that was truly a reflection of heaven — a place of love, memory, faith, beauty, warmth, and holy belonging.

Born from a teaching on Chesterton, sacred memory, and the wreckage of a world that still carries traces of Eden, “Carry Us Home” rises with the longing of exile and the hope of homecoming.

It is not CCM. It is not religious wallpaper. It is a classic-rock hymn for the Remnant — a song for those still guarding the fire, still carrying the old songs, still believing that truth, beauty, mercy, worship, children, bread, wine, and the Word are sacred cargo worth protecting.

At its heart, this song remembers the gift of a true home — the kind that points beyond itself to the Father’s house, where all sorrow is healed, all wandering ends, and every faithful love is gathered up in glory.

Some songs entertain. Some songs inspire.

Every now and then, a song remembers.

Cult of the Penguin and Remnant Studios are proud to present: “Carry Us Home.”

Christ is King. Hail to the King.
