Filthy Rags

6 For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, carry us away. Isaiah 64:6 (LSB)

We have looked deeply at the Biblical definition of our Salvation over the last several posts. In this post we will continue to do that. One of the attacks on the Gospel in our time comes from several sources, but with the same focus. That focus is to change what our salvation is actually is and what it accomplishes and why it is necessary…. Continue reading

The Most Devastating News You’ll Hear About Illegal Immigration

“So illegal immigrants now have the legal authority to sponsor other illegal immigrants even though they’re not here legally, and they’re still waiting to see an immigration judge, which is pushed off by 10/15/20 years…”

(Mary Dowling) The information from former border agent JJ Carroll in the clip below will devastate you because it surely is the end of the United States as we know it. He describes the destruction in four phases.

Phase One is to let everyone into the country, and it doesn’t end…,” JJ Carroll said. “It just continues on.” Continue reading

Estimate: Christian Religious Leaders to Embezzle $86 Billion in 2024

(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) The January issue of the International Bulletin of Mission Research (IBMR) reports that Christian religious leaders are estimated to embezzle $86 billion in 2024.

The disturbing statistic, which is easy to overlook, appears in Table 5 of the article “World Christianity 2024: Fragmentation and Unity” under the description “Ecclesiastical Crime.”

This estimate was compiled by data scientists Dr. Gina Zurlo, Dr. Todd Johnson, and Peter Crossing at the Center for the Study of Global Christianity (CSGC) at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Continue reading

Churches Embracing Queer Ideologies are Idolatrous, Robbing God of the Glory He Deserves

“The path these movements and so-called “churches” are taking is a perilous one, leading not to enlightenment and freedom, as they claim, but to spiritual confusion and estrangement from God—enslavement to a life of sin and eternal torment.” 

(The Dissenter) Every day, it seems we’re confronted with another headline about how the Church is “evolving” or “becoming more inclusive” by embracing some version of queer theory or gender ideology. But here’s the crux of the matter: this so-called progress is actually a profound regression, a blasphemous rebellion against God’s divine blueprint for humanity. Continue reading

Marxism: It’s Why We Can’t Have Nice Things — Like an Education

(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) Remember when working hard and working smart was a ticket to the top? Well, apparently, in the world of the communists, meritocracy is somehow “racist.”

Marxism has reared its ugly mug again in the United States and — no surprise — it is happening once again where it hurts most: our schools.

FACT-O-RAMA! Karl Marx was a draft-dodging sluggard. His excessive drinking and smoking, as well as his late-night jollifications and poor diet, resulted in a so-called “weak chest,” which kept him from serving in the military…. Continue reading

What is the real Gospel?

14 Now after John had been delivered up into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:14-15 (LSB) 

In my Cruden’s Concordance introduction for the word “gospel” it reads, “The English word gospel comes from the Anglo-Saxon gõdspel which meant good tidings through, gõdspel or god-story. The word in the original (Greek) in the New Testament is euaggelion, from which, through the Latin evangelium, comes our word evangel, with its derivatives…. Continue reading

Million Dollar Perks Going to Judge Merchan’s Family for Taking Trump to Court in Bogus Hush Money Case

“It’s pretty appalling. This feels like a turning point in all of this welfare against Trump. With this case, the left is dropping any pretense, doesn’t seem to care at all about having any pretense of legitimacy with the greater public. It’s the gloves are off. It’s bare knuckles now.”

(Jim Hoft – Gateway Pundit) Jesse Watters ran a devastating segment last night on radical Judge Juan Merchan who silenced President Donald Trump from talking about his family’s financial ties to the current junk case he is presiding over against Donald Trump in New York City. Continue reading

Oregon Ends Its Experiment With Decriminalizing Hard Drugs

“Republicans stood united and forced Democrats to do what Oregonians demanded: recriminalize drugs.”

(Leah Barkoukis – Townhall) It didn’t take long for Oregon to realize decriminalizing hard drugs was a bad idea. 

On Tuesday, Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, signed legislation that recriminalizes drug possession, reversing Measure 110, which 58 percent of voters approved in 2020…. Continue reading

Matt Walsh Attacks Wokeness On The Right

“The point Walsh is making is actually more potent than he went into, as this same wokeness is also in the church. Many pastors refused to go woke for Black people but have happily gone woke for Jews. Christian media like Conservative Inc. heavily panders to this religion. The Christian Post is one prominent example. This has been the case ever since Zionists financed the proliferation of theology that suits their interests.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Matt Walsh is one of the most prominent voices in Conservative Inc. as he is among the Big 4 at the Daily Wire. Last Friday, Walsh took a stand that appears out of line with others at the Daily Wire but certainly consistent with his stated principles of free speech when he “canceled” Texas Governor Greg Abbott for his executive order combating “antisemitic rhetoric” on college campuses. This occurred after Candace Owens was fired from Daily Wire. Continue reading

The Decline Of Christianity Means The End Of Neutral Spaces

“What comes amid the decline of the Christian faith is not some live-and-let-live secular liberal utopia, not a rational and atheistic political order with neutral public spaces and a culture of tolerance. Instead, we have a new form of paganism with its own moral precepts, obligations, and rites. And unlike the secular liberal order, which embraced tolerance and pluralism as an inheritance from Christianity, the pagan order will be intolerant in the extreme.”

(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) President Biden’s decision to elevate Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter, the holiest day of the Christian calendar, was no accident. Yes, we all know (now) that it falls on March 31 every year, while the date of Easter obviously varies…. Continue reading

Lecrae Recounts Attending Parties Where Sex Orgies Broke Out at 1:00AM

(Protestia) With famous rap Mogul ‘Diddy’ in the news for throwing wild sex parties, deconstructed rap artist Lecrae has weighed in with his experiences being around this sort of activity.

During a recent episode of his podcast, Lecrae details how he would occasionally (regularly?) attend celebrity parties with artists like “Diddy,” where orgies and sex parties would take place, detailing a couple of encounters.

In particular, he notes one incident where he was warned that he should leave around one in the morning but says he refused when his ‘pride kicked in’ because he wasn’t some ‘little church boy’ and believed he could handle himself around some wild behavior: Continue reading

Death and life

1 And you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom we all also formerly conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. Ephesians 2:1-3 (LSB) 

I have been to many funerals in my 72 years. The hard ones are for those who were young and it seemed that they had not had the time to do anything in this life….

Of course the hardest ones are of those we were sure were not believers. On the other hand, there have been those who were Christians who we served with for many years and some who came to the Lord as they neared their end. For instance, I led my uncle to the Lord the day before he died. What a difference that made at that funeral! Several years ago my nephew Travis developed brain cancer and eventually died from it. He was a good Christian man. I remember his funeral being more of a celebration than something mournful. Also, we had a good friend at our church who battled brain cancer for over  a year and ended up in hospice for several weeks before he died. He was a godly man. His funeral was somewhat sad because we all will miss him, but it was not a tragic thing for us nor for his family for he was much beloved and was a solid Christian leader. At his funeral many shared how his life had impacted them to draw them into a closer walk with the Lord. Yes there was weeping, but not that mournful thing. View article →

The Politics of Death

“These leftwing loons have power in New York, so it’s no bail, no responsibility, no protection for civilians or police. The streets simmer with criminality. Good people are brutalized every day.”

(Bill O’Reilly) St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church. Funeral mass. Hundreds of police inside. Thousands of others outside. All here to honor murdered New York City police officer Jonathan Diller and his grieving family.

The 31-year-old was shot to death by a career criminal who was allowed by politicians and judges to roam the nation’s largest city armed and dangerous….

Easter Is the World’s Most Historically Verified Holiday

(Scott Powell – The Patriot Post) From the beginning of recorded history, people have turned to religion as a way to find refuge, solace, and meaning. Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and most other religions point to their own prophets and teachers, but among those world religions, only Christianity has a founder who professed to be the Messiah — the Son of God. Easter is the historical account and conclusive evidence of that Messiah.

Easter weekend starts with Good Friday, the day of the crucifixion when God sacrificed His only Son, Jesus Christ, to fulfill His plan to provide salvation from sin for all who believe in Christ, the Savior…. Continue reading

Fake Catholic Joe Biden Tried to Cancel Easter, but Jesus Won

“Easter is the holiest day of the year for Christians, and Biden choosing to wax on about a lunatic leftist agenda “holiday” instead is disgusting. That he chose Good Friday to do it shows that he isn’t really Catholic at all and that he doesn’t have any real people of faith in his inner circle. That was beyond tone-deaf. It was a display of contempt for Christians.” 

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) There are just so many things to dislike about Joe Biden, the man and the president. And I mean intensely dislike. One of the more galling fictions that the Dem-friendly media likes to keep up is that Biden is a good Catholic and a man of deep faith. In the MSM telling of the story, President LOLEightyonemillion is halfway to canonization. Continue reading

Joe Biden Declares Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’

“In June 2023, the White House held an event for “LGBTQI+ families,” during which transgender activist Rose Montoya and other transgender activists flashed their bare chests. The White House has even pushed transgenderism on children.”

(Bradley Jaye – Breitbart) President Joe Biden’s White House has declared the holiest of Christian holidays “Transgender Day of Visibility,” announcing that “transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our nation.” Continue reading

That Which Prevails Over Death

13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, saying, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 15 He *said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” 20 Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ. Matthew 16:13-20 (LSB) 

Genuine Christians, God’s heirs, are those who have believed. Continue reading

Why We Need a Crucified and Risen Savior

(Robb Brunsnsky – The Cripplegate) This month, we are starting a series entitled Suffering Servant, Risen Lord, as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Over the next several weeks, we will look at different passages of Scripture relating to the purpose of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

The first is Genesis 3, which is the account of humanity’s fall into sin through Adam’s transgression and the place where redemption and salvation became necessary. Prior to Genesis 3, we did not need a crucified and risen Savior because there was no sin.

When sin entered the world, though, everything changed, and it required radical action from God if humanity was to be rescued from destruction and death. The only solution to the problem of sin was a crucified and risen Savior. Continue reading

President Trump just shared this video on Truth Social—is he sending his enemies a bone-chilling message?

WATCH THE VIDEO TRUMP POSTED.

(Revolver) Make no mistake, 2024 is shaping up to be one of the fiercest political showdowns we’ve ever seen. The shenanigans of 2020, with the COVID “pandemic,” mail-in voting chaos, and ballot harvesting (to name just a few), were just the tip of the iceberg. And here we are again, with the Democrats fielding a candidate who’s not exactly at the top of his game. If Joe Biden was considered a lost cause in 2020, the situation has only deteriorated. Now, the man’s ability to water a plant, much less run the most powerful country in the world, is under the microscope…. Continue reading

Wefare USA! Socialist NYC’s $1400 Debit Cards for ‘Newcomers’

“America’s wealth took two and a half centuries to build, and now everyone is allowed to plunder it except for you.”

(Mary Dowling) Mayor Eric Adams’s administration launched its program to give prepaid debit cards to New York City migrants this week. Adams signed a no-bid $53 million contract for the deal.

Staffers with the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance handed out eight preloaded Mastercards at the Roosevelt Hotel on Monday as part of its pilot program that will expand to 115 cards by next week. Continue reading

Good Friday: Was It Cosmic Child Abuse?

(Josh Buice – G3) On Good Friday each year, Christians remember the most glorious sacrifice and the most horrific murder that ever occurred in human history. Why do we refer to the Friday after Thanksgiving as “Black Friday” and the Friday before Easter “Good Friday”? Should they be reversed?

It’s the day set aside on the calendar to remember the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus for the sins of his people and the heinous murder of God’s Son. Why would we celebrate that day as a good day?… Continue reading

The One True Gospel

23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Matthew 24:23-24 (LSB) 

I will be 73 years old later this year. I have been a Christian for about 38 years, but I grew up in a “Christian” home going to church every Sunday until I grew up and went my own way. I know that Christians are commanded to be forgiving, kind, and gentle with others. However, we are also commanded to stand firm and withstand false teachers and their doctrines…. Continue reading
