Contrary to popular belief, angels are neither chubby little babes with rosy cheeks nor are they exquisite young women with gossamer wings decked out in long flowing gowns. The Bible reveals very little about angels. What we do know is that God sends angels to do His bidding.
The Bible mentions two elect holy angels (the good guys) by name: Michael and Gabriel. Scripture also mentions the Angel of the Lord; Michael the archangel; the Captain of the Host of the Lord; messengers; and guardians.
Also mentioned are fallen angels (the bad guys). Lucifer, one of God’s highest angels, led a revolt against God and was banished from heaven along with his followers which is said to be a third of the angels. There are many names for Lucifer such as Satan, Devil, Prince of Darkness and Beelzebub. The other rebels became demons. In the future God will judge Satan and his demons.
Angels are spirit beings. They are neither male nor female. In every single angel visitation recorded in Scripture, angels always appear as men, never women.
Because I have written several articles on angels I am often asked if angels are among us today. Yes!
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. (Hebrews 13:2).
Those who believe they are experiencing an angel visitation must scrutinize what the angel purports. For example, does the angel point you to Jesus Christ or away from Him? Elect holy angels (from here on out referred to as angels) will always point you to Christ, never to anyone else, living or deceased, which includes the Apostles and the Virgin Mary. Continue reading
“As false teachers arose and denied one or the other of these essentials, the church prevailed by showing that the doctrine under attack was an essential part of the “faith once delivered to the saints,” and that any teaching opposing such an essential teaching put the proponents outside the true Christian faith.”
“The Institute of Christian Politics aims to develop highly skilled young men with potential political acumen.”

1 And when He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home. 2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them. Mark 2:1-2 (LSB)
“This new policy ensures that providers of faith and employees at UMHW will receive religious accommodations so that they can provide excellent care consistent with their medical judgment, because all patients are created in the image of God.”
(Roger Helle – The Patriot Post) During his presidency, Barack Obama said, “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.” Recently, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine said, “The statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.”
“The American people were not asking for a semantics debate over what is gain-of-function. They were asking, does common sense say this research was dangerous in Wuhan? They wanted to know whether their money funded experiments in Wuhan that made bad coronaviruses better able to infect humans. The answer is, yes.”
“Think about that for a second. The man who badgered every American into taking the shot, insisting it was perfectly safe, appears to have experienced one of the exact injuries his own agencies flagged, then quietly got elite private care while assuring the public that such reactions weren’t real. Ordinary Americans who reported similar problems got dismissed and mocked. Fauci got the best doctors in America.”
(Dawn Hill – Lovesick Scribe) There is an ever-growing fascination with the supernatural realm where people desire to not only hear the voice of God, but they desire to see angels and demons. There are many who crave experiences beyond this world and to testify of such things. I was recently informed about an e-course titled 
“It is my belief that millions of Americans no longer want to compete in our capitalistic system. They are happy to collect entitlements and bow before a controlling central government. This crew has now been captured by social media and misleading propaganda put out by corrupt TV analysts as well as liberal newspapers, college professors, and the militant younger people themselves.”
“So, how did we get here, where this self-loathing American communist and cultural Islamist has so much power with our youth? Part of it is because a major generational shift is happening. Younger Americans on both the right and left are eager to question Israel, its government, wars, and the huge influence they have in US politics.”
“The reality is that Democrats like Warren have been the chief advocates for just short of a century on behalf of Big Government as the solution to every ill afflicting America. And throughout the 93 years since FDR first proposed the New Deal, it has been Democrats at the forefront of every major campaign to bring more and more of the freest, most prosperous, most opportunity-rich society ever seen on the face of the Earth under the thumb of Washington politicians and bureaucrats.”
“The shepherds of Christ’s church should not only expose the errors of progressive Critical Theory (disciple Christians on how to handle that wicked philosophy) but also condemn its counterfeit on the Right with equal clarity. If we only confront Cultural Marxism when it comes wrapped in progressive language when it’s gained damning institutional power, while ignoring it when it arrives dressed in conservative rhetoric because it’s in its infancy, we have abandoned the very principle we claim to champion and paradoxically delay the inevitable. The “Christian nationalists” want people to believe that any criticism of them is merely criticism of honorable patriotism. It’s not.”

“But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive. “No police, no prisons, no borders” is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE.”
