The president further explained that “almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran.”
(New York Post) Iran agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday as Tehran and the US reached a two-week ceasefire deal — a breakthrough in the nearly 40-day war that has disrupted shipping and spiked gas prices.
President Trump agreed to a two-week pause on military strikes on Iran in a dramatic pivot less than 90 minutes from his 8 p.m. deadline — saying it was subject to Tehran agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Continue reading
“This is incredible news! Therapists have been under the threat of losing their license in states like CO for simply helping a child feel comfortable in their body, which is the compassionate & evidence-based treatment for gender dysphoria. This issue is akin to anorexia & now therapists have the freedom to treat this mental health issue ethically. God bless Kaley Chiles and thank you ADF Legal!!”
“The message, unusually apocalyptic in tone even by Trump’s standards, immediately drew attention from policymakers, analysts, and international observers.”
Bill O’Reilly’s Message of the Day – short and sweet.
“Remember the poor metaphorical frog that was placed in a pot of lukewarm water until brought to a boil, unaware of the progressive heat until it was too late? The frog, which is the endless stream of young men and women herded like cattle through slaughterhouses of woke universities peddling cultural marxism and leftist ideologies, is completely clueless. The frog is toast. I’m mixing metaphors, but you get the point–in the end, neither the frog nor the cow makes it.”
“The U.S. Air Force then set up a landing strip near the city. There, two U.S. transport planes became stuck and were demolished in place so as not to fall into Iranian hands. But those on the Left who are inclined to caterwaul about the expense of the operation might want to shut their lousy soup coolers — lest we remind them that Joe Biden abandoned some $7 billion worth of American military equipment and the superbly strategic Bagram Air Base when he high-tailed it out of Afghanistan.”

(Rusty Rabon – The Fellowship of Ailbe) Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which was brought upon me, which the Lord inflicted on the day of his fierce anger.
“God always had a plan. On the third day, He rose, He defeated evil, He conquered death, Hell and the grave. And because He rose, we all know that we can rise. And, sir, because of His resurrection, you rose up. Because He was victorious, you were victorious.”
Mike Riccardi of The Cripplegate lays out some of the problems that can result from trying to mix oil with water, as you will see in the case of trying to mix liberalism and historic orthodox Christianity. The result is that the Person and work of Jesus Christ has been compromised for the sake of unity. And what we now have is a liberal/progressive “
(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwest Christian Outreach) The celebration of the resurrection of Jesus will take place for many this Sunday. For most people these days, it is more-or-less a cultural event. I don’t necessarily mean they deny that the resurrection happened, but that they believe it based on their family and church affiliations, rather than as a result of their own serious consideration of the issue. Sometimes those who do contemplate and ask the hard questions are simply told to accept the claims of the celebration “by faith.” Faith then becomes little more than a blind leap of faith or a wistful hope. But faith is not supposed to be a “blind leap.” It really is a step taken based on what we know from the past to be true. We have faith the “sun will rise” tomorrow, based on it having done so every day in the past…. 
“The argument proceeds as follows: The greatest good is knowing God through Christ (
“The people at the top built a culture of non-stop political hate, creative slop, and audience disrespect, and now the people underneath are paying for all that. And the reality now is that we could be watching the end of Hollywood.”
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Easter evokes images of decorative baskets filled with all sorts of goodies, cool new clothes, church services, the annual Easter egg hunt, families and friends gathering together to enjoy a sumptuous meal. Doesn’t it seem a bit odd that people will spend an entire day celebrating a make-believe rabbit?
UPDATE to the story that the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk may not have come from the Robinson rifle. Tyler Robinson is the man accused of murdering Charlie Kirk. He has admitted to killing him. Click on the link below to read Mary Dowling’s report. The new information seeks to debunk the claim that the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk doesn’t match the alleged murder weapon. The truth appears to be that the bullet was so fragmented it couldn’t be tested.
“When it comes to treating gender dysphoria, so-called conversion therapy simply means helping a person — particularly a child — accept the body that God gave him rather than attempting the impossible feat of altering biological sex.” 
(John MacArthur – Sermon topic, What Is Sin) We alone…as Christians who understand the Bible and believe the Bible, we get it. We got all these people trying — all the politicians, and all the moralists, and all the educators and all the university people and all the sociologists and everybody — trying to fix society. And it can’t ever be done by these people, because they don’t ever deal with the reality of what is in the heart. All humanity, all humanity — nobody escapes — has a vile, rebellious, corrupt nature. The thought life is corrupt; the emotions are corrupt; the will is corrupt; and the behavior is corrupt. And Genesis 3 is crucial to understanding that…
“Republicans have consistently slammed Sen. Thune for failing to advance President Trump’s legislative priorities. That includes not only his inability to secure funding for immigration authorities, but also his failure to pass the SAVE Act, which proponents say is a necessary step to protect elections in the United States.”
“He then suggested that the concept of aliens was a human attempt to explain the unexplainable, saying that he believes it’s a different force behind the phenomena. “I don’t think they’re aliens, I think they’re demons anyway, but that’s a longer discussion,” Vance said, prompting Johnson to seek clarification.”
(Jonathan Landry Cruse – Beautiful Christian Life) To understand the importance of the statement “faith alone,” we need to remember why the Reformers sought to recover the doctrine of God’s grace. They wanted to emphasize the fact that we are made right with God not through any merit of our own but rather through God’s own free grace. In Christ, we receive unmerited favor from God.
“Even just in the last 10 yrs, I see ministries like Ligonier retreating into the background. In my own denominations we have a variety of ministries, like Theopolis and Canon Press, as well as a variety of podcasts. All these things can be a great supplement to local ministries. We need theological and cultural commentary, we need conversation between pastors.”
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Sadly, “Christian” book sellers line their shelves with books that are clearly unbiblical. Books that put a positive spin on
