“Since many of my beloved churches and pastors failed to address politics and the worldviews that inherently lay underneath them, they were also unwilling to address and confront the many unbelieving worldviews and thought systems of their parishioners. This has led directly to where we’re at today, where many who bear the name of Christ now, often without even knowing it, have fully embraced secular ideologies of Marxism, Critical Theory, and are supportive of practices such as abortion or gender ideology, or at least are apathetic about these practices in favor of supporting the values of Leftism.”
(Brooks Waldron – TruthScript) I remember first being exposed to the writings of the late Tim Keller back during my sophomore year, in the college ministry of John Piper’s Bethlehem Baptist Church. At that time, Keller’s writings and sermons supplemented the ministry of John Piper wonderfully to help shape my understanding of God, the gospel, and the Christian life. From John Piper, I gained a “big-God theology,” coming to understand the centrality of the glory of God and the total sovereignty of God in the world and in salvation. From Tim Keller, I came to understand the centrality of the gospel. As Keller said, the gospel is not the A, B, Cs of the Christian life but rather the A to Z of the Christian life. This was revolutionary for me at the time. Continue reading
“The argument proceeds as follows: The greatest good is knowing God through Christ (
“The people at the top built a culture of non-stop political hate, creative slop, and audience disrespect, and now the people underneath are paying for all that. And the reality now is that we could be watching the end of Hollywood.”
(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?
4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit from itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. John 15:4-10 (LSB) Read verses 8-10 on the site.
UPDATE to the story that the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk may not have come from the Robinson rifle. Tyler Robinson is the man accused of murdering Charlie Kirk. He has admitted to killing him. Click on the link below to read Mary Dowling’s report. The new information seeks to debunk the claim that the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk doesn’t match the alleged murder weapon. The truth appears to be that the bullet was so fragmented it couldn’t be tested.
“When it comes to treating gender dysphoria, so-called conversion therapy simply means helping a person — particularly a child — accept the body that God gave him rather than attempting the impossible feat of altering biological sex.”
(John MacArthur – Sermon topic, What Is Sin) We alone…as Christians who understand the Bible and believe the Bible, we get it. We got all these people trying — all the politicians, and all the moralists, and all the educators and all the university people and all the sociologists and everybody — trying to fix society. And it can’t ever be done by these people, because they don’t ever deal with the reality of what is in the heart. All humanity, all humanity — nobody escapes — has a vile, rebellious, corrupt nature. The thought life is corrupt; the emotions are corrupt; the will is corrupt; and the behavior is corrupt. And Genesis 3 is crucial to understanding that…
“He then suggested that the concept of aliens was a human attempt to explain the unexplainable, saying that he believes it’s a different force behind the phenomena. “I don’t think they’re aliens, I think they’re demons anyway, but that’s a longer discussion,” Vance said, prompting Johnson to seek clarification.”
(Jonathan Landry Cruse – Beautiful Christian Life) To understand the importance of the statement “faith alone,” we need to remember why the Reformers sought to recover the doctrine of God’s grace. They wanted to emphasize the fact that we are made right with God not through any merit of our own but rather through God’s own free grace. In Christ, we receive unmerited favor from God.
“Even just in the last 10 yrs, I see ministries like Ligonier retreating into the background. In my own denominations we have a variety of ministries, like Theopolis and Canon Press, as well as a variety of podcasts. All these things can be a great supplement to local ministries. We need theological and cultural commentary, we need conversation between pastors.”
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Sadly, “Christian” book sellers line their shelves with books that are clearly unbiblical. Books that put a positive spin on
“On X, Feucht tagged Christian apologist Mike Winger and journalist Julie Roys, accusing them of being complicit in his being targeted by Hindu extremists and Muslim radicals because of their criticism of him.”
“Blame secular humanism, blame feminism; whatever the cause, if we want to see our nation return to its Christian heritage, we need to address how we educate our future citizens….”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Tucker Carlson is one of the most controversial men in America and also one of the most influential. Few individuals have driven as many news cycles and conversations as he has. But with all of these things established, there is a pressing concern that Tucker Carlson, in waking up to Jewish influence in American politics, has softened his opposition to Islam. There is an ongoing debate as to whether Christians and Muslims can or should form a political alliance, and Carlson has certainly interviewed people who believe its possible. But where does Tucker Carlson stand on the issue?
“You’ve got 250,000 people making 60 million miserable. That’s not a long-term solution either. That’s just in Iran. That’s why you’ve got to take the long view, and the long view here could be just 60 days.”
(Breitbart) British military officers are embedded with CENTCOM in preparation for a long-term Strait of Hormuz freedom-of-navigation mission, and meetings have already taken place with like-minded allies, including France, Canada, and Japan, a report states.
