Saint Mark and the True Impact of Scripture
St. Mark’s feast day, celebrated on April 25 each year, provides an opportunity to reflect on the radical message of the Christian Gospel.
Tradition holds that Mark, the author of one of the four Gospels, was a close friend and follower of St. Peter. It is traditionally believed that Mark’s account of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection is deeply informed by St. Peter’s own direct experience of events. Mark’s Gospel shares the Christian faith in the terse and approachable style of a simple fisherman called by Jesus to do great things.
The Christian faith of the Gospels can be summarized through the kerygma, an ancient Greek term meaning proclamation or message, which in the Christian context refers to the central message of the faith. This was the message that Christ’s followers spread across the known world following his resurrection and ascension into heaven. This message changed the world, and it can be summarized in five points.
First, God is real, and He created mankind for a purpose, namely, to love. Second, human beings rejected God and chose sin. Third, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to correct mankind’s relationship with Him and reveal His heart. Fourth, each person can know Jesus as a real living person through the Church, the sacraments, and the Bible. Fifth, all followers of Christ are called to spread the faith to all who will listen so that everyone can hear and know Jesus for eternity.
The Apostles spent their lives preaching the kerygma to build up the Kingdom of God.
The kerygma is a summary of the entire Bible. Scripture reveals who God is and who we are. It shows us that our God is a relationship of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It teaches that this Triune God created human beings to enter into this divine relationship, even though we so often reject Him and choose our selfish ways over following Him.
Despite man’s repeated rejection of God’s pursuit, He sent His Son into time so that He could definitively bring about salvation.
Even though we did not deserve it, He suffered in our place, conquered death, and rose from the dead. As a result of Jesus’ actions, we can live beyond the powers of sin and are called to live with God forever in heaven.
This is the greatest love story ever told, and entering into this reality is the fulfillment of every human desire.
The question is this: how do we enter into it? On the celebration of the feast of St. Mark, we are reminded that the Bible is a crucial entry point to knowing God and becoming who we are made to be.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church says, “The Church forcefully and specially exhorts all the Christian faithful to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. Let them remember, however, that prayer should accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture, so that a dialogue takes place between God and man. For we speak to him when we pray; we listen to him when we read the divine oracles.”
Reading the Bible is not simply a matter of gaining knowledge as if from a technical manual. Praying with the Bible is a chance to encounter the living God.
Sacred Scripture is divinely inspired. God is the author, and men like St. Mark were the pens. God uses the authors, with all of the details of their lives, as vehicles to bring about His presence and truth. Since these words have their origin in God, they give us access to Him today.
This is why the saints throughout history and countless Christians today pray the Bible daily. Slowly digesting a passage each day allows us to encounter God and be drawn into the purpose of our existence: communion with Him.
This practice is known as lectio divina or “holy reading.” You can select a passage, preferably beginning with one of the four Gospels (St. Mark’s is the shortest), and read the passage slowly. You can read it once and sit quietly for a minute or two. Then you read it two more times with a pause in between while centering on a line or phrase that stands out to you.
Many Christians choose to use a notebook to record phrases that stand out to them and then write down reflections. The repetitive nature of choosing a phrase or word allows one to be led into silent prayer and experience the presence of God.
That is the true impact of Scripture. It facilitates a deep encounter with the living God and draws us into the reason for our existence: being united with the One who made us for Himself.

Could Nevada Become a Red State?
Nevada has fewer registered Democrats today than in 2016. That’s one reason Nevada could be a red state within a decade.
Nevada Republicans currently have a voter registration edge of more than 7,000 out of 2 million registered voters. That may not sound like much, but it’s their largest voter registration lead since 2006. Nevada has around 571,000 registered Republicans and a bit under 564,000 Democrats.
This is a dramatic reversal. In the 2016 general election, Democrats had a voter registration advantage of nearly 89,000. Hillary Clinton won the state by around 27,000 votes. In 2020, Democrats had a similarly sized edge. Former President Joe Biden won the state by under 34,000 votes.
But the Biden presidency turned into a recruiting boon for Nevada Republicans. By November 2022, Democrats’ voter registration edge had fallen to around 52,000. Gov. Joe Lombardo, a Republican, defeated the Democratic incumbent, former Gov. Steve Sisolak, by less than 16,000 votes.
By November 2024, Democrats’ voter registration edge in Nevada had dropped to under 10,000. President Donald Trump won the state by 46,000 votes, a victory of 3 percentage points.
One of the biggest reasons for this is how Trump—aided by Biden’s inflation-producing policies—revamped the Republican coalition. Trump attracted more minority and younger voters, while college-educated voters moved left. Nevada might be the state where that trade is the most advantageous. Thirty percent of Nevadans are Hispanic, and racial minorities comprise the majority of the state’s population. Compared with other states, Nevada has relatively few college graduates.
It’s unclear whether this coalition will hold together or show up in the midterms. College graduates tend to be more consistent voters.
Nevada Republicans received an unwitting assist from leftist donors, too. In 2018, Nevada voters approved an automatic voter registration initiative. Leftist groups donated more than $9 million to promote the measure. The theory was that automatically registering people at the DMV would ensure a steady stream of new Democrat voters.
It didn’t happen. In 2018, there were almost 600,000 registered Democrats, which gave them a 4.8 percentage point advantage. Today, there are around 564,000 Democrats and Republicans have a 0.35 percentage point edge.
Before 2018, Nevada Democrats significantly outperformed Republicans in registering voters. The Reid machine provided money and organization that Republicans couldn’t match. But DMV registration leveled the playing field. Plus, most people at the DMV aren’t thinking about voting. Many get registered as nonpartisan by default. This makes it harder for Democrats to identify which voters to turn out.
This shift has moved Nevada from a lean blue state to a pure toss-up. Will the trend continue?
Here are two reasons it might. The first is Californians. Yes, you read that correctly. In 2024, around 40% of those moving to Nevada came from the Golden State. But those departing Californians are disproportionately Republican. Paradoxically, former Californians may keep Nevada from copying California’s terrible policies.
The other is Turning Point Action, setting up shop in Nevada. For decades, the Right hasn’t had a counter to the turnout machine of Culinary Local 226. If donors buy into the long-term vision, Turning Point’s efforts could turn those low-propensity Republican voters into Republican votes.
The stakes are high. If this trend continues, Republicans could flip Nevada’s two Democrat-held U.S. Senate seats in 2028 and 2030. After the census shakes up the Electoral College, Nevada’s results could determine who wins the presidency in 2032.
Events are unpredictable, and Democrats are pumping money into voter registration. That should help them.
But a decade ago, Nevada looked like it would soon be a permanently blue state. It has swung dramatically to the right, and there are reasons to believe that trend will continue.

Hey, Socialists, We’ve Already Figured Out the Supermarket
There are at least 76,000 supermarkets in the United States. Most of us probably have a dozen within 10 miles of home.
Nevertheless, leftists are constantly trying to convince us that we need government-run grocery stores. The latest person is New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who has promised to open five city-run markets to combat “out of control” prices by getting rid of the “profit motive,” passing on the savings to consumers.
The first glaring problem with Mamdani’s plan is that the “profit motive” is the best device to create savings.
Mamdani says he looks “forward to the competition” from the private sector, and “may the most affordable grocery store win.” It’s not really “competition” when a government official untethered from the “profit motive” can use endless taxpayer subsidies to keep his business afloat.
The Mamdani Mart in Harlem, for instance, will be built on land already owned by the city, and it’s still going to cost $30 million according to the mayor, if government estimates are right, a rarity.
In the real world, these exorbitant costs would be passed on to consumers. In the Mamdani world, the cost is tacked on to an already $5.4 billion budget deficit.
To put the cost into context, a new Aldi costs around $1.5 million to $3 million on average to construct, not including the cost of the land. Other chains might cost around $3 million to $5 million. Aldi keeps costs as low as possible because they are governed by the profit motive.
An Aldi can be built as quickly as six weeks. Mamdani’s supermarket won’t be open until 2029. Maybe.
New York City could hand over $30 million to any major chain, and it would get at least three self-sustaining retail stores up and running within a year. Then again, Democrats could just stop placating their corrupt union donors by blocking Walmart from opening stores in the city; it would cost nothing.
When the state-run KC Sun Fresh supermarket opened in Kansas City, it was supposed to help alleviate the “food deserts.” At first, it was run by private grocers. But without the profit motive, they abandoned the project. By 2024, the supermarket was losing nearly $1 million a year, averaging around 4,000 shoppers, down from 14,000. Those who showed up were confronted with empty shelves, unchecked shoplifting, and barely any healthy produce. It closed in 2025.
And when political considerations are your concern rather than profit motives, you end up building retail establishments that aren’t needed.
Within a mile of the site of Mamdani’s new $30 million tax-funded supermarket in Harlem, there are, according to Google Maps, at least a dozen grocers, everything from an Aldi to a Whole Foods. It’s less than a nine-minute walk to a big supermarket from the proposed site and a three-minute walk to a fresh produce market.
New Yorkers should demand their government work with the efficiency of a supermarket, not the other way around.
If Mamdani wants more supermarkets in Harlem, he should work to cut the bureaucratic hell that potential business owners are forced to traverse to open a store. New York City is already home to one of the highest corporate tax rates in the country, yet Mamdani supports an effort to significantly increase them.
During the Cold War, the American supermarket was often held up as the model of prosperity. When the Soviet Union was petering out in 1989, Boris Yeltsin toured a Randalls in Houston, resulting in the famous pictures of the wide-eyed future Russian president perusing the wide variety of food available to average people living under capitalism.
Yeltsin said that “there would be a revolution” in the Soviet Union if people saw the availability. “Even the Politburo doesn’t have this choice,” he said. “Not even Mr. Gorbachev.”
Today, grocery chains are often depicted as predatory and monopolistic endeavors by Marxists like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren because it’s easy to rile up consumers who are agitated by inflation. Supermarkets have some of the lowest profit margins of any business in the country, usually around 1% to 3%. Successful chains stay competitive by adapting quickly, leaning on high-volume, high-turnover sales, cost-cutting and intricate supply chains.
Government isn’t exactly nimble.
There’s no doubt that living in dense urban areas is expensive. Many in the media depict Mamdani’s plan as a harmless effort to help poor people deal with the vagaries and inequities of capitalism with a few affordable grocery stores. Whatever, the government subsidies will become more expensive, crowding out value-producing “competitors.”
It’s a shame that American leftists have to relearn the most basic and obvious lessons of history and economics.
