IRS Allows Politics in Church

“Churches can now endorse candidates from the Pulpit again, a freedom that never should have been taken away in the first place. The two most important things a church can do: 1) Preach the Gospel 2) Vote so you’re always free to do the first Praise God their free to do the second again.”

(Thomas Gallatin – The Patriot Post) In an effort to resolve a lawsuit brought by several Christian churches and religious organizations, the Internal Revenue Service has agreed to a more lenient interpretation of the Johnson Amendment, which prohibits tax-exempt organizations from engaging in political campaigns.

Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s Executive Order Ending Birthright Citizenship for Illegals

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Once again, the will of the American people has been trampled by an unelected federal judge. Judge Joseph Laplante of New Hampshire shamelessly blocked President Trump’s executive order to end the outrageous abuse of birthright citizenship. In what can only be described as judicial activism run amok, Laplante didn’t just halt the order—he issued a sweeping, nationwide block by exploiting the class-action loophole, effectively sidestepping the Supreme Court’s recent ruling to rein in these overreaching injunctions. Continue reading

Baylor University Returns $643K Pro-LGBTQ Grant, Gets Called Out by Grant-Giver For Hypocrisy

“Baylor is thoroughly compromised, as we’ve cataloged over the last few years. They have several staff members who have been openly promoting LGBTQ ideology for years, including a pro-choice, gay-affirming, trans-affirming professor, and their other greatest hits featured below reveals the true heart and trajectory of the storied University…”

(Protestia) Baylor University, one of the largest and oldest Baptist universities in the world, has rescinded a $643,000 grant from the Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation intended to promote LGBTQ acceptance within the church. Was it a principled stance, or something altogether different. Continue reading

Keep Your Kids from the Kool-Aid

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! 21Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight! 22Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink, 23who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of his right! Isaiah 5:20-23 ESV

In November 1978, over 900 people committed mass suicide in the South American country of Guyana. They were Americans. They were part of a cult headed by Jim Jones. They had fled to South America to escape growing opposition to the cult in the United States…. Continue reading

Spanish House Votes 311-33 To Jail Pastors For Counseling Against Homosexuality

“The AEE contends that the bill mischaracterizes genuine pastoral care and personal guidance as harmful “conversion therapy,” with one commenter noting the hypocrisy of progressives insisting that everything is fluid- sex, gender, identity-until that fluidity goes the other way.” 

(Magdelene Haneh) The Spanish Evangelical Alliance (AEE) has come out swinging over a proposed bill that would lead to jail time for pastors and counselors who assist individuals seeking to leave or alleviate their homosexuality and align their gender identity with their biological sex. Continue reading

For Your Consideration — James Comey in an Orange Jumpsuit

“Comey and Brennan are two of the most vile people to emerge from the ranks of chronic Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers. While Comey is, as I said, smug, Brennan is filled with undeserved self-righteousness and a mistaken belief that he’s always the smartest guy in the room.” 

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) There is a lot going on in the world right now, and the news cycles have been rather intense. We’ll get to some of the meatier stuff in a moment. First, however, I would like to express some mild irritation at the news that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will no longer be requiring travelers to remove their shoes when going through security….

Eric Metaxas Is Wrong About Dietrich Bonhoeffer

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Eric Metaxas has had a prolific career riding the coattails of the Post-War Consensus martyr, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In  a recent spat with the Episcopalian Church USA, Metaxas chastises them for invoking Dietrich Bonhoeffer for their liberal opposition to President Trump. However, in a twist of irony, Metaxas’s critiques of Episcopalians ring more true of Bonhoeffer himself.

What the Episcopalians say about Bonhoeffer matters not. Far be they from the first liberals to invoke Bonhoeffer to oppose Trump or as a test of orthodoxy…. Continue reading

‘We’re the United States, but They Treat Us Like a Colony’: USDA Farm Security Plan Targets China’s Bioterrorism, Land Grabs

“Attorney General Pam Bondi shared that two Chinese nationals were recently charged in Michigan for attempting to smuggle potential agroterrorism weapons into the country. Soon after, a Chinese citizen was arrested for sending packages of concealed biological materials into the United States. “We will prosecute you. We will hold you accountable,” Bondi vowed, adding that the FBI has opened over 100 biosmuggling investigations in recent years.”

(Jasmyn Jordan – Breitbart) The U.S. Department of Agriculture formally announced its National Farm Security Action Plan on Tuesday, rallying top Trump administration officials, Republican governors, and lawmakers around a resolute effort to protect American farmland, food supply chains, and agricultural research from foreign threats, especially Communist China. Continue reading

The Fruit of the Spirit: Joy

“If we don’t have firmly fixed in our minds the greatest of all spiritual realities, which is our union with Christ through faith, our joy will be weak and fragile – and so will our life and service to God.”

(Robb Brunansky – The Cripple Gate) We live in a world that is in a constant search for joy. This quest is so important and widespread that researchers often study what makes people happy, or what decreases happiness, identifying how men, women, and children can achieve happiness. Continue reading

It’s time to put Antifa on the terror list…

“The attacks against ICE have escalated, yet again. It’s not just firebombs and concrete milkshakes anymore. Now, it’s full-blown assassination plots and bullets. And on the Fourth of July, no less—so you know this was a big political statement.”

(Revolver) How bad does it have to get before the government finally slaps the “terrorist” label where it belongs? Right on the spindly backs of Antifa thugs. This group has been torching cities, attacking cops, and waging war on America for years, and the media still treats them like angsty baristas with too many piercings and pent-up anger. But what just happened in Texas should make it crystal clear: this is a violent, radical network, and they are not playing games. Continue reading

The Crucial Fact People Miss in the 2016 Framing of Donald Trump

(Independent Sentinel) James Bryan White worked for former CIA director John Brennan and he believes Brennan should be in prison. However, it’s not only Brennan who should be in prison. We all know who was behind the framing of Donald Trump for years.

On July 3, Fox News put together a good summary on their online website of five things the new information about the ICA tells us. Their summary implicates John Brennan in the coup to overturn the results of the election. However, they avoided the obvious.

In early July, the CIA released new information about the creation nearly ten years ago of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) of Russia’s influence campaign in the 2016 U.S. presidential election…. Continue reading

The Narrow Path and Walking by Faith

4 For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge. 6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord– 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight– 8 we are of good courage and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. 9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:4-10 (LSB) 

If you have read very much of what God has had me post here then you know how much I admire John Bunyan and his fantastic allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress. Bunyan understood what real Christianity was all about…. Continue reading

Ancient Aliens and Starseed Children?

“These so-called “Starseeds” are said to be empathic, intuitive, deeply creative, often diagnosed with ADHD or autism, and painfully misunderstood. But let’s be honest—these are just broad traits cherry-picked to flatter every parent who wants to believe their over-pharmaceuticalized kid is too evolved for algebra homework….”

(The Dissenter) I indulged myself in a few episodes of Ancient Aliens on YouTube over the weekend—not because I buy into it, but because I find it fascinating to see the great lengths people will go to try to make sense of our existence and the world we live in. Something I found particularly entertaining, in the way watching a raccoon try to open a locked cooler is entertaining, was all the talk about “starseed children.” Continue reading

Monsters on Parade

“The Catholic Church, which has its own problems with evil clerics masquerading as spiritual men, defines a “mortal sin” as an action known to be destructive but committed anyway.  You know what you are doing is wrong, but don’t care.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Having written a book called “Confronting Evil,” which will be out September 9, I well understand the subject of miscreants wreaking havoc on innocent people.

It’s been with us since Cain and Abel.

While the brothers’ story is allegorical, the theme is not.  There is a dark side in every person, and if you embrace that, evil follows. Continue reading

Shawn Bolz Says ChatGPT Can Interpret ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ Prayer Languages

(Protestia) Shawn Bolz continues to discredit himself more and more as a spiritual leader and supposed prophet of God, recently claiming that ChatGPT is interpreting tongues.

Once a prominent and beloved prophet, Bolz has been canceled by several major charismatics over multiple allegations that he has been using secretly gathered social media information to make accurate ‘prophetic words’ over people, including one that nearly led to the death of a young woman. Continue reading

Bongino Drops a Truth Bomb Destroying the New York Times

“This NY Times article is precisely why hard-working Americans simply do not trust the media.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) On Saturday, the New York Times editorial board published an article claiming that Trump’s “politicized FBI” has “made Americans less safe.”

That’s rich. I’m old enough to remember when the Obama administration and the Biden administration actually did weaponize the FBI against Donald Trump. And I’m pretty sure everyone on the NYT editorial board is, too.  Continue reading

The Enduring Word A Living Stone and A Holy People

1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 5:1 (LSB) 

Not everyone who claims the name of “Christian” is truly part of the genuine Church. Many of those claimants see Christianity as simply a religion and their religiosity within it as that which assuages their guilty consciences that condemn them for their fleshly lifestyles. Others strive with their entire being to do good and not sin while being very active in their churches. In this they believe that they are in the “group” that God will accept and proclaim righteous….

Our Declaration of Dependence

20 Our soul is patient for Yahweh; He is our help and our shield. 21 For our heart is glad in Him, Because we trust in His holy name. 22 Let Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, be upon us, As we wait for You. Psalms 33:20-22 (LSB) 

The movements we are seeing all around us, whether Christian in form or not, that are attempts to improve the world, to bring in some form of utopian existence or a new level of evolution, or whatever; are all simply examples of the same thing that happened in the Garden of Eden when Man rejected God’s plan and went with his own (Genesis 3). The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) is an example of men coming together in disobedience to God’s command to try to improve on what He has promised to give them…. Continue reading

Big, beautiful breakdown: Here’s what’s in it…

Key Provisions of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBA): Scroll down to read the provisions…

(LifeZette) The House of Representatives on Thursday passed  President Donald Trump’s long-anticipated “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” clearing a key hurdle for a legislative package that includes major tax reforms, enhanced border security, and significant spending realignments.

The final vote was 218–214, with just two Republicans—Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.)—opposing the measure. Continue reading

BREAKING: House Passes Trump’s Reconciliation Bill

(Matt Vespa – Townhall) It’s over, folks. President Trump and congressional Republicans aimed to pass the reconciliation package by July 4, and they succeeded. It was a tumultuous journey, as there were more than a few Republicans who tried to make a spectacle, causing unnecessary drama throughout the procedural phase, but it’s now over. The House passed the big, beautiful bill, which means the Trump tax cuts are made permanent, illegals are kicked off Medicaid, and the immigration enforcement agenda is fully funded. The border was secure, and it will remain safe. Continue reading

Who is ‘Thy Neighbor,’ Really?

“If you’ve been paying attention to the cultural shifting sands around you, you’re likely familiar with unbelievers using the Bible against Christians and even against itself. The phrase is biblical, but the application and meaning are anti-biblical (antinomian, to be precise).”

(Richard Henry – TruthScript) It already seems like eons ago that rioting on the streets of Los Angeles covered the headlines, but that was only early June. The protests were over the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), performing raids, arrests, and seeking to enforce the most basic immigration policy. Continue reading

Bombshell CIA Report Exposes How Obama’s Team Framed Trump

DoD photo by U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Marianique Santos

The new CIA assessment released this week is nothing short of a bombshell—a long-overdue confirmation of what conservative media has been saying for years: The Obama administration, with the eager help of its top intelligence brass, orchestrated an unprecedented operation to cripple Donald Trump’s presidency before it even began. This isn’t some fevered speculation or partisan rumor. 

The CIA’s own review lays out, in damning detail, how former CIA Director John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper, and former FBI Director James Comey took “unusual” and direct control over the infamous Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that became the cornerstone of the Russia collusion hoax. Continue reading

Have you left your first love?

1 Now the word of Yahweh came to me saying, 2 “Go and call out in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I remember concerning you the lovingkindness of your youth, The love of your betrothals, Your walking after Me in the wilderness, Through a land not sown. 3 Israel was holy to Yahweh, The first of His produce. All who ate of it became guilty; Evil came upon them,” declares Yahweh.’” Jeremiah 2:1-3 (LSB) 

Christian, think back to those early days of your walk with the Lord. Your entire value system seemed to be turned upside-down. You loved God and your devotion to your Savior was the most important thing in your life. Old sins had no power over you…. Continue reading

Amex pays $70K for gay ‘throuple’ to get their mitts on a baby…

#SurrogacyConcern shared the photo of the ‘throuple’ and the baby they adopted on X.

“This isn’t just some lefty feel-good headline for Amex’s HR department—it’s a well-oiled, corporate-funded pipeline that makes the process as easy as possible. According to Mitch, one of the “throuples,” it’s all outsourced and systemized. You just open a file, submit your paperwork, and voilà, the reimbursements start rolling in….According to the website, Amex is just the tip of the iceberg….other corporations are doing the exact same thing, quietly bankrolling these surrogate-for-hire baby mamas for men behind the scenes.” 

(Revolver) There was a time when corporate America supported families… real families, and upheld traditional values that reflect the vast majority of this country. But those days are clearly gone. Today, companies like American Express aren’t just bending to woke ideology; they’re twisting themselves into pretzels to fund it, even when it crosses extreme moral lines. Continue reading
