“We can only be as assertive as we have data to back it. Ask yourself how well you can support your conclusion with actual biblical information. An abundance of evidence leads to strong conclusions; weaker or conflicting evidence encourages us to wait and see.”
(Joel Arnold – Rooted Thinking) One of the hazards of intellectual Christian discourse is to anoint ourselves as the amateur evaluators of “the Christian viewpoint” on everything—science, economics, geopolitics, how governments ought to be run, aesthetics, agriculture and whatever other fields of human discourse arise.

“The modern church cannot preach this because the modern church desperately wants to be liked by the very world system God says stands under judgment. So pastors become public relations agents for divine sentimentality. They speak of love detached from holiness. Mercy detached from justice. Grace detached from repentance.”
“Either we continue to get chased out of our own neighborhoods by gangs, fentanyl zombies, and robbed by the city’s corrupt homeless-NGO elite, or we put a stop to it. We either get the tents off our streets, or we never will. We either keep on dying, or we start living.”
“Fetterman wasn’t done. He went a step further and named an actual, self-described communist seeking a Senate seat in Maine. Graham Platner, the presumptive nominee who had an actual Nazi tattoo on his chest until he covered it up for his campaign…”
“We last covered Mark Driscoll in our article Fox News Driscoll, which we catalogued him openly lying to his congregants, and also after we commented on his bizarre porno-visions…”
“What looks from the outside like the charismatic movement holding itself accountable is, on examination, the movement identifying figures who have become liabilities and executing them publicly before their scandals contaminate the broader institution. The theology survives every time.”
“And once that happens, the moral descent is not dramatic at first. It’s weirdly normal. And that’s the creepy part. Everybody keeps mowing their lawns and posting vacation photos while the foundations liquefy beneath their feet.”
“Why, then, do the children of God suffer so greatly in this world? We suffer for the glory of His name. The more impossible the situation, the more clearly God’s grace and power can be seen in us. Although the examples I cited above relate to persecution, this truth applies to every instance of Christian suffering.”
“The giant takeaway is that “we the people” are now being routinely deceived on vital matters by an ideological and corrupt press. And many of us don’t even care.”
“The most recent nihilist developments in American society can be attributed to these Jacobin* “Democrats”: biological men competing in women’s sports; critical legal theory that normalizes cashless bail; race-based reparations; violent felons arrested and back on the street hours later; radical abortion on demand until birth; attacks on the concept of the cultural “melting pot”; and opposition to organized Christianity.”
“Allberry refused to agree with God’s word and call his evil desires “sin” as the Bible does, which kept homosexuality burning in his heart. Christians cannot disagree with God and expect it to end well for them. If you refuse to kill sin, it will kill you. And if you’re a Christian, you have the Holy Spirit and the ability to repent, to put to death all evil motions of the flesh within you:”
“A doctrine of demons does not always deny Jesus openly. Sometimes it adds to Jesus. It adds new revelations, new warfare methods, new apostolic systems, new decrees, new heavenly strategies, and new spiritual technologies. But anything that adds to the sufficiency of Christ and goes beyond Scripture becomes dangerous.”

“So the question is not whether you have idols. You have many. The question is which one you would sell the others to keep.”
“You’ve got Gavin Ortlund stepping up to explain, with that gentle and lowly familiar Ortlund tone, that inerrancy isn’t really a first-rank doctrine. Let’s slow down. Let’s be careful. Let’s not throw around labels. Let’s make room for “legitimate Christians” who think the Bible has errors. He even reaches back to Machen, of all people, as if to baptize the whole move in fundamentalist credibility.”
“A letter sent by the Archbishop of New York, Ronald Hicks, notes that the matter has been a painful process, but they hope that all parties accept. If so, they would each received around $215,000.”
“Whitlock has received much hate from other Conservatives for this, but Isaiah 3:12 calls female rulers a curse from God. Paul makes ontological arguments against female ordination in the Church, which rooting his reasoning in Creation, naturally extends the application beyond the Church setting since ontology is not limited to the Church.”
“Remember, the Left believes charity does not count if it doesn’t come from the government.”
FLASHBACK FROM 2023
“A statement from Immanuel Church about Sam Allberry reveals they knew he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with another man in 2022 but didn’t believe it rose to the level of being disqualifying, and still decided to bring him on as pastor. They later discovered new information about this relationship that was previously undisclosed, and then terminated his employment.”
“The Newsboys were effectively sidelined across much of the Christian music ecosystem. Relationships deteriorated. Opportunities disappeared. The lawsuit argues that the reporting did not simply describe events but helped trigger a cascade of decisions that removed TCA and the Newsboys from the marketplace.”
“Influential evangelical within the Religious Right James Robison says Jesus is in the heart of devout Mormon Glenn Beck. Leading SBC spokesman Richard Land says that he hears Beck clearly preach the Gospel on TV. Well, here’s the heart of the matter, if Glenn Beck’s ever to be considered a Christian, then let him publicly repent of and repudiate the Mormon theology in this heavily documented article you can examine for yourself.” – Ken Silva, 2012
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The friendly fire theory just got buried — on video.
“Progressive Christians love to take the “love chapter” of 1 Corinthians out of context to justify everything from homosexuality to, in this case, satanists getting married at a church. It’s too bad she didn’t share the truth about Christianity with this couple; that would’ve been truth to rejoice in.”
