Independance Day

(Mark Alexander – The Patriot Post) “Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them.” —Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of Taking up Arms (1775)

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” Continue reading

Marks of the True Christian

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil, and cleave unto that which is good. 10 Be affectioned to love one another with brotherly love. In giving honor, go one before another. 11 Not slothful to do service, fervent in spirit serving the Lord, 12 Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing in prayer. 13 ,Distributing unto the necessities of the Saints: giving yourselves to hospitality. Romans 12:9-21 (1599 Geneva Bible) Read verses 14-21 on the site.

All that is not of faith is sin. That includes good works and any religious acts that are done from any motivation or source other than faith. The Christians who walk before the face of God Spirit-filled are the ones who are walking by faith. Those that become Spirit-filled are those who are living sacrifices (Romans 12:1). The continual process of mind renewal is transforming them (Romans 12:2). This renewal is actually a complete renovation of the intellect or mind by the Holy Spirit as they become immersed more and more into the Word of God…. Continue reading

Crisis looms for Pope Leo as splinter sect seeks to ordain traditionalist bishops

(J Oliver Conroy) A traditionalist Catholic sect’s plan to ordain its own bishops on the first day of July has placed it on a collision course with the Vatican – posing a possible crisis for Pope Leo a little over a year into his papacy, and straining the Roman Catholic church’s already fraught relationship with rightwing and traditionalist Catholics in the US and elsewhere.

Founded in Switzerland in 1970 to oppose liberalizing reforms in the Catholic church, the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) has gained significant followings in the US, France, Argentina and other countries…. Continue reading

‘I am very pleased with the outcome’ | UT reaches tentative $1.9M settlement with professor fired over Charlie Kirk comments

“The world is better off without him in it. Even those who are claim to be sad for his wife and kids…like, his kids are better off living in a world without a disgusting psychopath like him and his wife, well she’s a sick —- for marrying him so I don’t care about her feelings.”

(Shelby Wright) New court documents reveal former University of Tennessee, Knoxville assistant professor Tamar Shirinian has agreed to settle with the university and its leaders after she filed a lawsuit against them in October.

In a statement to 10News, Shirinian said, “I am very pleased with the outcome.” Continue reading

Everyone Did What was Right in His Own Eyes

25 In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Judges 21:25 (LSB)

We live in an evil time. There are large numbers of “Christian” leaders who claim to be ministers of God, but prove by their words and actions to have thrown off the authority of God. They do what is right in their own eyes while claiming that they are only following the leading of the Holy Spirit. The fact that what they say or do is unbiblical seems to trouble very few…. Continue reading

Investigating Corporate Filings: Religious Non-Profits Reported Dead People as Board Members

(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) Televangelist Marcus Lamb of the Daystar Television Network died in 2021, and his parents died a decade before, but they were all listed as board members or registered agents in a 2024 corporate filing to Texas Secretary of State from Daystar affiliate WPXS Inc. In a separate case, the National Center for Faith-Based Initiative in Florida also listed a dead individual in its corporate filings.

Corporate filings, which include articles of incorporation and annual reports that disclose board members, reveal the power structure of both for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations. Continue reading

We Will Soon Be Looking at a Communist Caucus in Congress

(Mary Dowling) Democratic socialists, who are communists, are replacing Democrats throughout the country. With the communists who have won their primaries or will win them and communists already in Congress, Democrats are looking at Communists winning 20 seats in the House and some in the Senate, enough to have their own little communist caucus. That is enough to shut down the government and stop all kinds of laws if Democrats take over the House.

Democratic socialists have lost the blue-collar voters, and they are doing poorly with pro-job, tough on crime, Black, and Hispanic people…. Continue reading

When Civilization Forgets Genesis: The Moral Chaos of Rejecting the Creation Order

“Anti-Genesis activists routinely grant greater emotional urgency to animal suffering than to abortion. This contradiction is so glaring that it will blind anyone willing to look at it honestly. The same political coalitions horrified by fishing hooks also defend the dismemberment of unborn babies as “healthcare.” The same culture demanding legal protections for animals increasingly celebrates gender ideology that denies the created distinction between male and female (Genesis  1:27; c.f. Matthew 19:4).”  

(Jason Mills – TruthScript) There are ideas so absurd they once belonged safely in satire.

Imagine telling your grandfather—a man who hunted, farmed, and fed his family from the land—that one day a political movement would treat killing animals for food as moral barbarism. Explain that raising livestock, fishing in rivers, and harvesting game in season would be criminalized. Continue reading

The hard hearts and spiritual blindness of unregenerate professors

9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, 10 and with all deception of unrighteousness for the ones being destroyed, because they refused to love of the truth and so be saved. 11 And, therefore, God send to them a powerful delusion for them to believe the falsehood, 12 that all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 NA28 Greek text to English)

God’s truth, which is the truth and there is no other, is true regardless of whether people believe it or not. I pray for wisdom and discernment every morning. God answers this in surprising ways sometimes. One way He does this is when I receive an email or comment from one who is opposed to what we teach here…. Continue reading

When ‘Sound Doctrine’ Gets Redefined

(Amy Spreeman – Berean Research) One of the most effective ways false teaching slips into a church isn’t through outright denial of biblical truth. More often, it comes disguised in familiar Christian language that sounds fine at first glance.

When looking for a solid church to attend, most of us start with the statement of faith or the “We Believe” tab on the church website. At first glance, everything sounds rock solid. Foundational doctrines are accurate. The Gospel seems clear. And then we attend – or even join – this church, and we find out that what is actually taught is very different from what we saw online. We discover that the historic, biblical meanings have been quietly swapped out for something else entirely. Continue reading

Trump Demands Congress Pass Birthright Citizenship Legislation

(Cameron Arcand – Townhall) President Donald Trump is calling on Congress to pass legislation to narrow the scope of birthright citizenship after an unfavorable Supreme Court ruling for the administration on Tuesday.

“The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process,” he said in a Truth Social post. Continue reading

The Supreme Court Just Settled the Trans Athletes Debate

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday to uphold state laws banning biological males from competing on female sports teams, delivering a tremendous victory for female athletes and the commonsense principle that biological sex matters in athletic competition.

Brett Kavanaugh wrote the majority opinion in West Virginia v. B.P.J., which the court combined with Little v. Hecox. Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch each wrote a concurring opinion…. Continue reading

Who do you fear?

“But I say to you, My friends, do not fear those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will show you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him! 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows. Luke 12:4-7 (LSB) 

We are told not to fear earthly things or other people no matter how evil or violent they are. However, we are told to fear God. Much of the fear Christians have, however, is not based in their fear of God, but in the fear of their own failures being exposed or their own spiritual deficiencies being exploited by the devil’s seed. Of course some of that fear comes from the spirit of fear that dominates some Christians. Continue reading

The Red Menace

“Those who want a centralized economic system run by various governments are sacrificing their own freedom and supporting a police state. There has never been a communist government without one. There are many foolish people on this planet, and the rise of progressive governance supports that statement.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Bernie Sanders, Mamdani, and AOC are not “Democratic Socialists.”  In fact, there’s no such thing. You can be a socialist or a communist, but the DS party doesn’t exist and never has in America. The Mugwumps had their day, but no Democratic Socialists. Continue reading

The NEW Axis of Evil: Will the Antisemites on the Left and Right Join Forces and Play Kingmaker in 2028?

“Assuming the GOP nominates a pro-Israel candidate in 2028, there’s a high probability that the woke right will switch sides. That’s what single-issue voters do. Which is why the Republican Party would be wise to steal a page from William F. Buckley’s playbook: Attack and discredit the leaders of the woke right BEFORE the 2028 election. Expose them as crackpots. Expel them from the conservative movement.”

(Scott Pritzker – PJ Media) “There was an outsized focus on issues connected to the Middle East,” said Democrat Hakeem Jeffries, explaining how the socialists, communists, and enemies of “Western civilization” routed the DNC’s normies (such as they are) this week.

Watch the clip on the site. Continue reading

Are We Called to be Holy?

45 For I am Yahweh who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God; thus you shall be holy, for I am holy.’” Leviticus 11:45 (LSB)

The resistance in today’s version of the Church of Jesus Christ to commands such as the one above is rooted in rebellion. Yes, I know that is a blunt statement. Yes, I know that there are huge segments of the church in America that believe that the Old Testament is not for them. However, the truth does not stop being the truth simply because people refuse to believe it. I run into this quite a bit. I teach something or write something that is a clear command of God that we must obey, and someone will say or write something like, “well everyone knows that that can’t mean that because God isn’t like that.”….

Phil Johnson Announces Retirement from Grace To You

(Protestia) Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace to You, founder and former curator of The Spurgeon Archive, longtime friend and partner of the late John MacArthur, and one of our favorite people ever, announced on Facebook that he is officially retiring after 43 years.

Describing it as a ‘bittersweet’ announcement, he shared:

I’ve had a wonderful career at Grace to You for the past 43 years. My plan in the mid-1990s was to retire from GTY at age 66 or move back to the Midwest, and pastor a small church, perhaps in Oklahoma or Texas. Continue reading

The Fountain of Truth

13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, to dig them pits, even broken pits that can hold no water. Jeremiah 2:13 (1599 Geneva Bible) 

In John Bunyan’s classic The Pilgrim’s Progress, we learn of the vast difference between worldly wisdom and the truth through a character named Mr. Worldly Wisdom. Pilgrim is on his way to the little wicket gate as instructed by Evangelist when he meets up with this character. He tells Pilgrim that the truth that the Evangelist told him would only bring sorrow and grief to his life. If he would follow his advice instead then he would find that his life would go much easier. In our time, the Church has believed this lie and focused on the temporal more than the eternal. This has come from drinking from broken cisterns instead of the fountain of living waters. Continue reading

The Democrat Party Is Having a Meltdown, and It’s About to Get Nasty

“The Democrat Party is being cannibalized from the inside, and its leadership has no idea what to do about it. Now you’ve got a sitting senator publicly suggesting her own party’s top two leaders need to go.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The Democrat Party has a problem that the establishment doesn’t have a clue how to deal with. Its most radical members of Congress aren’t radical enough for the activist base anymore, and one by one, they’re getting picked off by candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America. Continue reading

Dispensationalism, Ultra-dispensationalism, Hyper-dispensationalism. Is there a Difference?

FLASHBACK FRIDAY!

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Evangelical leaders sat by wordless while narcissistic self-serving false teachers covertly, and in some cases overtly, infiltrated the visible Church. What can only be described as laboratory experiments on evangelicals has been carried out by purveyors of poisonous teaching. For decades, many in the evangelical community, like caged lab rats, have been jabbed full of every theological toxin imaginable. It is almost impossible to keep up with all the toxic teaching that’s spreading throughout the Church. What’s even more difficult is to ferret out the men and women who are spreading half-truths and outright lies.

Even so, some of us involved in online discernment actually do try to uncover the dung that’s being fed to undiscerning sheep.  On my wolf hunting expeditions, I often sniff them out on YouTube (YT) where a gazillion wolves host their own channels. To be fair, there are also many excellent Christian teachers, godly men and women, whose sole aim is to bring biblical truth to their viewers.

Something else you should know about YT is that you’re bound to come across a LARGE and ever-growing number of online “Watchmen.” (Who are these people? Scroll to the end and you’ll see some of them on “Watchmen Greatest Hits”) The Watchmen are men and women who propound their own personal view of eschatology. Their focus is mainly on the Rapture of the Church that they claim is “imminent.” So, day in and day out (some for several years now) these crystal ball gazers lean into a desktop computer camera speculating about the return of Christ for His church, i.e. the rapture, that will be soon—very soon—could be any day now—might even be before Thanksgiving 2020—oops! Maybe Christmas—nope. To the Watchmen’s shame, as 2020 came and went, their faithful followers hadn’t been “caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” Alas, here we are mid-2022 and the Watchmen followers remain Earth bound, most likely feeling a bit bewitched, bothered, bewildered and totally discombobulated.

Woe to the Watchmen. Continue reading

PCUSA’s Next Culture-War Fight: Monogamy vs. Polyamory

“Here is found the most fundamental difference between liberalism and Christianity —liberalism is altogether in the imperative mood, while Christianity begins with a triumphant indicative; liberalism appeals to man’s will, while Christianity announces, first, a gracious act of God.”

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Traditional biblical principles continue to fall like dominoes in what we call mainline Protestantism. Even though the shift from fundamentalism to modernism began in the 1920s, the big lurches to the left began in the ’50s when the United Methodist Church began to ordain women as pastors. Continue reading

SCOTUS Allows Border Curbs on Asylum Seekers

“Despite this win, many migration experts recognize that U.S. asylum laws need major rewrites to deter future waves of economic migrants who try to get U.S. jobs by claiming persecution in their far-distant homelands.”

(Neil Munro – Breitbart) The decision is a useful win for citizens and border security, partly because President Joe Biden excused his lax border policies and subsequent welcome for 10 million economic migrants by insisting he lacked the authority to curb asylum requests.

The six judges agreed: Continue reading

Protecting Our Kids from Misaligned AI – Before It’s Too Late

(John Beardsley – Truth With Snares) Every parent’s worst nightmare is becoming reality faster than we imagined. In 2025 and into 2026, reports of AI-generated child sexual abuse material surged — with some hotlines seeing increases of over 2,000%. Predators are now taking innocent photos of real children from social media and using AI to create explicit, realistic deepfakes for sextortion, blackmail, and the normalization of abuse. Children as young as 9 are being victimized, and the technology is evolving every day.

This is what happens when powerful AI systems lack strong moral guardrails.

The AI Rights Charter was written to confront exactly this kind of threat and much more. Continue reading

The Democrat Party Is Dead

“No Democrat is safe. Just look at NY-10, where Brad Lander demolished Rep. Dan Goldman, grabbing nearly 65% of the vote. Goldman was one of the loudest anti-Trump voices in Congress, and he led impeachment efforts against President Trump. None of that mattered. His support for Israel and his refusal to endorse Mamdani are the reasons he lost.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) New York just gave America a preview of who’s actually running the Democrat Party, and it isn’t Hakeem Jeffries.

On Tuesday, all three socialist candidates endorsed by socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani swept their targeted congressional primaries…. Continue reading

Report: Foreign Agent for Israel Gained Control Over Charlie Kirk’s Show After His Murder

(Veronika Kyrylenko – The New American) A new investigation by journalist Max Blumenthal argues that The Charlie Kirk Show came under the control of a federally registered agent of Israel after Kirk was killed.

Blumenthal documents a striking sequence. After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, his show remained with Salem Media Network, where Brad Parscale, a Republican digital strategist and former Trump campaign manager, had recently become chief strategy officer.

Shortly after the tragic Utah event, Parscale had also begun working as a registered foreign agent for Israel. Continue reading
