13 Jesus answered, and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never be more athirst: but the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life. John 4:13-14 (1599 Geneva Bible)

Christian faith has appeared to many an easy thing; nay, not a few even reckon it among the social virtues, as it were; and this they do because they have not made proof of it experimentally, and have never tasted of what efficacy it is.

“The First Amendment does not allow premeditated plots or coordinated actions to violate the sanctity of a sanctuary, disrupt worship, and intimidate small children. There is no ‘press pass’ to invade a sanctuary or to conspire to interrupt religious services.”
“Susan’s tone and language raise questions about whether the left is drifting further and further toward a cycle of political payback. More weaponization, lawfare, and political punishments… all the stuff we saw during the Biden regime.”
(Breitbart) The Supreme Court ruled Friday that President Trump’s sweeping global tariffs are illegal, delivering the most significant legal defeat of his second term and undercutting a central White House trade initiative.
(Selwyn Duke – RenewAmerica) “They are programmed…,” Soviet defector and ex-KGB man Yuri Bezmenov warned decades ago about the ideologues we call “leftists.” “You cannot change their mind…. You are stuck with them.”
“Overall, the TPUSA Faith project is perhaps well-intended but is theologically compromised by egalitarianism, much like TPUSA, which hosts women’s leadership conferences, but not anything specifically for men….”
“No one stands up and declares, “Let us worship me.” It’s subtler than that. It’s structural, cultural, and habitual. The stage grows larger. The man’s name becomes synonymous with the ministry. Criticism is framed as rebellion. Loyalty is framed as spirituality. And slowly—imperceptibly—the pastor functions as high priest of his own kingdom.”
“There are many books and courses on leadership style that tend to mimic business practices and specialized manipulation techniques. We do not see this in Scripture, yet many of our churches operate in ways similar to secular institutions.”
(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) Roblox — a popular online gaming platform specifically targeted at children but available to players of all ages — has repeatedly been criticized by parents and concerned players for inappropriate content. And thanks to the recent mass shooting in Canada, those growing concerns have once again come to the forefront.
(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Mentally unstable male predators, encouraged by woke culture to claim they have gender dysphoria as a license to invade women’s spaces — and worse — have been on a real rampage lately.
UPDATED 2/20 – I’ve added a few more conferences to mark and avoid. Scroll to the end.…
“When Hillary Clinton says mass migration has been destabilizing and went too far, and Barack Obama says we are a nation of laws with borders that must be orderly and fair, that is a direct slap in the face to the violent activist soldiers that have dominated the party’s messaging for years.”
“…the Minnesota rebellion story is not over. Walz and Frey may be in for a reckoning.”
(Protestia) A megachurch pastor and senior leader in the Assemblies of God denomination has taken a leave of absence following allegations that he sexually abused a young girl when she was just 16 years old.
“While it is a set-back for progressives, the fact that this was even a question has demonstrated their commitment to their depravity and heresy, and already there are plans in place to redouble their efforts until the denomination is fully LGBTQ-affirming.”
“The number of Fortune 500 companies abandoning participation in HRC’s radical activist index is yet another sign that ESG and woke capitalism were never about profits.”
(Stephanie Potts – Midwest Christian Outreach) I have been deeply disturbed by the events that have unfolded in Minneapolis in recent weeks and the apparent disregard for the rule of law. I am very sad about the deaths of 
“Bud Light had what looked like a stranglehold on the Number One Selling Beer in America spot until the company tried to force its customers into the trans conversation. The beer is about to regain the top spot, but it took over three years, and Anheuser-Busch had to spend a fortune to make it happen.”
Naturally, the left is freaking out. The New York Times report on the repeal came with the loaded headline “Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change.” Can you hear me rolling my eyes?
(Wake up and Smell the Heresy – Facebook page) Please let’s pray for those who are/were followers of Bethel, Bolz and Todd White and for the first time are truly seeing how deceived they were. Mike Winger is doing a great service – but there are so many who are traumatized by truth. It is a good thing. It is a hard thing. Everything they have believed has been called into question because they put their trust in false leaders and a false movement.
