Christ’s sacrifice and the New Covenant

10 For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse, for it is written, “CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO DO THEM.” 11 Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident, for “THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. Galatians 3:10-11 (LSB) 

As has been clearly shown, the easy-believism “gospel” as well as any version of it that either calls for more works (i.e. piety) on the part of the believer over and above believing the Gospel and receiving Christ as Lord and Saviour or suggests that the saving work of Christ on the Cross was not “sufficient enough” to cover the sins of those He came to save, therefore they must somehow achieve perfection on their own or enter into some form of purgatory after death to make up for that, are perversions of what is clearly taught in God’s Word….

Trans World: Reflections on a cult

“Why is the Left literally hell-bent on asserting that male and female are false, oppressive social constructions, that something called gender is on an infinite spectrum, that masculinity and femininity are so fluid as to be meaningless? Because the most crucial front of the neo-Marxist agenda is the abolition of the family, as Karl Marx himself explicitly called for. It is necessary to eradicate the distinction between male and female in order to dissolve the bonds between mother and father, sister and brother, wife and husband, and pave the way for a collectivist utopia ruled by the State.”

(Mark Tapson – FrontPage Mag) The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom unanimously ruled recently that the definition of the word “woman” is based only on biological sex. She is, as a Supreme Court justice here in the U.S. infamously was unable to state, “an adult female human being.” Conversely, then, transgender women are not legally considered women.

The Pontiff Has Fallen—And He Will Not Rise Again

“He peddled a gospel that cannot save.  He merged Christianity with ideologies that hate Christ. He confused grace with permissiveness. He hugged wolves and let the sheep wander. And he did it all with a grin. And this is all an understatement. The stakes here aren’t just doctrinal—they’re eternal. Francis wasn’t just a bad pope. He was a pied piper in white robes, whistling his way down the broad road and dragging millions behind him.”

(The Dissenter) The pontiff is dead. And no, the bells aren’t ringing in triumph—they’re tolling like a funeral dirge for a man whose soul now quakes before the throne of Almighty God. Pope Francis—Rome’s darling, the media’s mascot, the Church of Nice’s poster boy—is gone. And what lies ahead for him isn’t a harp or a halo, but the thundering words of the Risen Christ: “Depart from me, you worker of lawlessness.” Continue reading

Firefly Investigation Finds Dr. Michael Brown Engaged in ‘Sexually Abusive Misconduct,’ But Under Whose Definition?

“IW #11 described this closeness as inappropriate, unprofessional, and unethical, adding, “If it happened in a church in front of congregants, they would be horrified. No man would let a preacher treat his eighteen-year-old the way Mike treated me and other young women with whom he cultivated this type of relationship.”

(Protestia) Firefly has concluded its independent investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against noted author and apologist Michael Brown, finding that he engaged in some degree of ‘sexually abusive misconduct‘ but that the incidents appear to be isolated to the two instances from 2001-2002 that have already been made public. Continue reading

Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus

11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13 and do not go on presenting your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:11-14 (LSB) 

I have heard many Christians explain their lack of spiritual maturity as not important because, after all, they are not under law but under grace. Some take this concept even further and say things like, “God is not angry!”… Continue reading

Easter’s 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

Donald Trump Invites Heretic Kenneth Copeland To A ‘Special Easter Dinner’ At The White House

(Protestia) President Donald Trump invited prominent heretic and supporter Kenneth Copeland to be his guest at a ‘special Easter dinner’ at the White House over the weekend, with Copeland’s social media team sharing the news on Facebook:

When he’s not claiming that COVID has been destroyed weeks after it emerged, throwing someone in a wheelchair to the floor, casting away bald spots in Jesus’ name, starring in a movie as a leather-clad motorcycle hero, claiming ‘When you don’t tithe, you’ve got a ticking time bomb in your pocket,’Continue reading

Supreme Court blocks, for now, new deportations under 18th century wartime law

“The administration is expected to return to the Supreme Court quickly in an effort to persuade the justices to lift their temporary order.”

(Breitbart) The Supreme Court on Saturday blocked, for now, the deportations of any Venezuelans held in northern Texas under an 18th century wartime law.

In a brief order, the court directed the Trump administration not to remove Venezuelans held in the Bluebonnet Detention Center “until further order of this court.”

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented. Continue reading

Tulsi Exposes a Terrifying Biden-Era Program That Was Meant To Be Secret

“The founding fathers would be rolling in their graves. But perhaps this revelation is exactly what America needs right now – a wake-up call about what happens when we let power-hungry bureaucrats operate in the shadows, far from public scrutiny and accountability.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) They thought they could keep it hidden forever. Buried under layers of classification and bureaucratic doublespeak, the Biden administration’s masterplan for undermining American liberty was supposed to stay safely locked away from public scrutiny.

But they didn’t count on Tulsi Gabbard. Continue reading

The Todd White ‘Expose’ is a Discernment Loss

“This is the logical conclusion of a movement that has abandoned biblical discernment. The charismatic movement doesn’t have a Todd White problem. It has a fundamental theological cancer that produces Todd Whites systematically. Guys like Winger will try to excise individual bad actors without addressing the underlying doctrinal rot.”

(David Morrill – PJ Media) The recent “expose” by YouTube apologist Mike Winger of charismatic charlatan Todd White’s abhorrent personal behavior may seem like a big win for biblical discernment. It is not. Instead, it reveals that the Carousel of Huckster Charismaticism will continue to turn even if Mike Winger can get Todd White to step off the ride. Continue reading

Resurrection of Christ and Justification

(R.C. Sproul) How is the resurrection of Christ linked to the idea of justification in the New Testament? To answer this question, we must first explore the use and meaning of the term justification in the New Testament. Confusion about this has provoked some of the fiercest controversies in the history of the church. The Protestant Reformation itself was fought over the issue of justification. In all its complications, the unreconciled and unreconcilable difference in the debate came down to the question of whether our justification before God is grounded in the infusion of Christ’s righteousness into us, by which we become inherently righteous, or in the imputation, or reckoning, of Christ’s righteousness to us while we are still sinners. The difference between these views makes all the difference in our understanding of the Gospel and of how we are saved. Continue reading

BOOM! The Trump Admin Fights Back Against Rogue Judge’s Contempt Warning

“The Trump administration isn’t just fighting back against one bad ruling; it’s defending the fundamental separation of powers. This appeal systematically addresses every aspect of Boasberg’s flawed and blatantly partisan reasoning while simultaneously highlighting the urgent national security implications of these deportation flights.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The Trump administration has just shown exactly how to handle judicial activism: by fighting back with everything it has. Continue reading

The Kellerites And Sexual Compromise: A Brief Summary

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Yesterday, Evangelical Dark Web reported on Grace DC, a multicampus megachurch, hosting a “Men’s Same-Sex Attraction Group.” Although I began that article with a reference to Tim Keller, that was merely to frame the context of the PCA. I had not come across the church’s website to note its explicit reference to Keller’s catechism or the eerie similarity to Redeemer Presbyterian in New York. So in other words, this type of behavior by churches and pastors is akin to the “Every Single Time” meme but in this case, the church’s early life check involves explicit inspiration from Keller. Thus, it’s time to use the term Kellerite. Continue reading

Leavitt Holds Powerful White House Press Briefing, Leaves the Media Stunned

“…Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien, MS-13 gang member, and foreign terrorist who was deported back to his home country. And when Kilmar Abrego Garcia was originally arrested, he was wearing a sweatshirt with rolls of money covering the ears, mouth, and eyes of presidents on various currency denominations. This is a known MS-13 gang symbol of “Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil.” Abrego Garcia was also arrested with two other well-known members of the vicious MS-13 gang, and two separate judges found that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13, and that finding has never been disputed.”

(Sarah Anderson – PJ Media) There are some things that just leave you speechless, and what happened in the White House Press Room today is one of them. And it didn’t just leave me speechless — it left the reporter pool stunned, too. Continue reading

The Gospel Coalition is Shocked the Democrat Monster They Coddled Has Teeth

“JD Greear, Matt Hall, Ligon Duncan, Mark Dever, Russell Moore—the TGC-aligned all-star team of third-way theologians—have made careers out of dancing delicately on the tightrope of moral equivalence. They’ve spent more ink defending Democrats than opposing drag queen story hour. To them, voting blue was just a matter of “conscience.” Conscience, that is, unmoored from Scripture, tradition, reason, or reality.”

(The Dissenter) Colorado, ever the progressive petri dish of experimental governance, has once again declared its disdain for Christian convictions—this time by officially categorizing biblical parenting as a form of abuse. House Bill 25-1312, which I wrote about earlier this month, cynically dubbed the “Kelly Loving Act,” slithers under the guise of compassion while weaponizing the state against parents who won’t cosign their child’s gender confusion. Continue reading

Kyle and J6ers rotted in jail, but this teen killer just waltzed out of prison…

“Think about it: twelve days. That’s all it took for the system to shrug off a brutal (alleged) murder and let this kid waltz out on a ridiculously reduced bond. Meanwhile, political prisoners from J6 rotted behind bars without bond at all. And Kyle Rittenhouse, who actually acted in pure self-defense, was slapped with a $2 million cash bond and sat in jail for nearly three months.” 

(Revolver) The American justice system isn’t broken, folks. It’s rigged. We don’t have one set of rules for everyone. We have two. One for people who toe the regime’s line and another for anyone who dares to step out of it—especially if they’re white, male, conservative, or, God forbid, defend themselves…. Continue reading

John MacArthur Announces Return: ‘I feel great. I’m ready to come roaring back into the public’

“The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. So thankful to the Lord for your prayers as I continue to recover.”

(Protestia) A month after sharing a video message with Shepherds Conference attendees expressing his great sadness and disappointment at not being able to attend the event, reflecting that he was on his “last lap,” pastor John MacArthur of Grace Community Church has revealed that he’s back in the recording studio this week and that he feels ‘great.’ Continue reading

British Supreme Court Rules ‘Trans Women’ Are Not Legally Biological Women

“The Daily Telegraph cites the remarks of Maya Forstater, the chief executive of the gender critical Sex Matters group who proclaimed that the ruling means gender self-identification is “dead”. She said of the ruling: “They thanked us for our cogent argument. It has turned the Equality Act from confused to being clear.”

(Oliver JJ Lane – Breitbart) The Supreme Court in London has ruled that, for the purposes of judging matters of equality, terms like ‘woman’ and ‘sex’ refer to biological sex, not gender. Continue reading

PCA Church Hosts ‘Men’s Same-Sex Attraction Group’

“Tim Keller’s legacy has undergone a lot of debate since his death, but this is yet another disciple of his pushing liberal theology and undermining biblical sexuality.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Presbyterian Church in America has battled a lot of gayness over the years, with Tim Keller’s influence contributing to the Revoice movement, which ho(sted a conference in 2018 promoting the view that homosexual desires and identities were not sins. This partial affirmation of homosexuality is the growing trend in the church as ministries that held the line on marriage are compromising to the culture in subtler ways…. Continue reading

Unsealed Crossfire Hurricane Docs Further Prove Russiagate Was A Hoax All Along

“These referenced snippets are but a snapshot of the information contained within the unsealed Crossfire Hurricane documents that further confirms the baselessness of the Russia collusion hoax that hindered most of Trump’s first presidency. The mentioned examples don’t even include the egregious conduct by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the openly anti-Trump bias by FBI officials like Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page, or the reported leaking of classified information about the probe by congressional Democrats and their staff to legacy media.”

(Shawn Fleetwood – The Federalist) Democrats and their media allies have run a lot of unsubstantiated hoaxes throughout the past several years. And while each is damaging in its own way, one of the biggest and arguably most destructive conspiracies perpetuated by these actors and Americans’ own government was the unsubstantiated narrative that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election. Continue reading

(Business Wire) Salem Media Group, Inc. (OTCQX: SALM), fresh off eliminating all corporate long-term debt and growing the #1 conservative news show in America, is making its boldest move yet. Today, Salem announces a historic, multi-dimensional deal that not only adds two of the most influential voices in American media, Donald Trump Jr. and Lara Trump, but launches the company into an entirely new era of scale, relevance, and cultural power.

This strategic transformation cements Salem’s emergence as the upcoming platform for conservative content across broadcast, podcasting, digital, and on-demand streaming, a full-spectrum media ecosystem built for today’s America. Continue reading

What is an Almost Christian?

16 They profess to know God, but by their works, they deny Him, being detestable and as to every good work, unfit. Titus 1:16 (translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)

In Puritan Matthew Mead’s The Almost Christian Discovered we find the very definition for what is plaguing the visible church in the 21st Century.  If Pastor Mead was alive today preaching as he did in the 17th Century, he would be quite controversial, but isn’t that what we who are called of God to stand for His truth in the lost and dying world supposed to do?… Continue reading

Et Tu, Barack?

“The President [Biden] could not figure out how to exit the stage.  So, the other President, Barack Obama, gently clasped his forearm leading him to the exit.  Mr. Obama had to know that the embarrassing sequence would be caught by video cameras and broadcast worldwide.”

(Bill O”Reilly) Every time I hear partisan criticism of President Trump, the image of Joe Biden pops into my mind.  Joe thought he would be a two-termer, no sweat.  And if that had happened little would have changed in America.  But under Trump, almost everything in the political realm is different for better or for worse.  You make the call. Continue reading

I’d Rather Have Jesus Than A Chocolate Easter Egg

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Easter evokes images of decorative baskets filled with all sorts of goodies, cool new clothes, church services, the annual Easter egg hunt, families and friends gathering together to enjoy a sumptuous meal.  Doesn’t it seem a bit odd that people will spend an entire day celebrating a make-believe rabbit?

Today when Easter Sunday rolls around a good many Christians spend more time participating in secular events than celebrating the Resurrection of their Savior.  Before I move on, I should point out that “Easter” is now passé.  Wanting to remove the Christian origins of our language, secularists managed to change Resurrection Sunday to Easter Sunday and Easter break to spring break – all in the name of tolerance. Fortunately a large number of believers have caught on to their shenanigans and have gone back to using Resurrection Sunday instead of Easter. Continue reading
