“Notably, the current president of the SBC, Clint Pressley, supports the amendment, as do the two new confirmed presidential nominees, Willy Rice and Josh Powell.”
(Protestia) SBTS President Albert Mohler announced yesterday that he intends to bring a motion “regarding the office of pastor to the Southern Baptist Convention in Orlando in June 2026 to amend the Constitution of the Southern Baptist Convention,” according to a video shared on his social media channels.

“The “Harumph!” Republicans in Washington are learning that buddying up to the lunatic Democrats doesn’t have any upside. This isn’t about blindly supporting Trump; it’s about representing their constituents like elected officials in a representative republic are supposed to.”
(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) One of the eternally frustrating things about being a Republican is the fact that, quite often, some elected officials in the GOP are indistinguishable from the Democrats. In Congress, legislation that is important to real Republicans can be held hostage by one or two squishes who prefer attention to principles. The bitterly ironic thing is that they always use principles as their excuse for giving their constituents and colleagues a shiv in the back. Continue reading
12 Now therefore as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on the bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering:
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel to another: even as Christ forgave, even so do ye.
14 And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which ye are called in one body, and be ye thankful:
Colossians 3:12-17 (1599 Geneva Bible) Read verses 16-17 on the site.
The number one accusation thrown at those who take up the armor of God and use it in the battle as they are called to do, is that they are full of pride. Those who use this fiery dart are equating certainty with pride. Extra-biblical revelation should not be used in the battle by God’s warriors. Instead, the source of truth that is used is the sword of the Spirit itself, the Word of God. Experience is extra-biblical…. Continue reading
“This trajectory didn’t just begin yesterday. People who have been paying attention saw this coming a long time ago. We watched Chan rebuke men for evangelizing Roman Catholics. We watched him remove his shoes and sit on stage while Catholic priests prayed over him. We watched him refuse to preach the Gospel clearly to Roman Catholics because he supposedly didn’t feel “led” by the Holy Spirit to do so….”
(The Dissenter) For years now, I’ve been warning people about Francis Chan. Not because I enjoy watching men slide into rank apostasy. I don’t. Frankly, it’s depressing. Francis Chan once occupied a space in evangelicalism where many Christians trusted him instinctively. Continue reading
“We can only be as assertive as we have data to back it. Ask yourself how well you can support your conclusion with actual biblical information. An abundance of evidence leads to strong conclusions; weaker or conflicting evidence encourages us to wait and see.”
(Joel Arnold – Rooted Thinking) One of the hazards of intellectual Christian discourse is to anoint ourselves as the amateur evaluators of “the Christian viewpoint” on everything—science, economics, geopolitics, how governments ought to be run, aesthetics, agriculture and whatever other fields of human discourse arise. Continue reading
Before we get to Potestia’s announcement, you need to know some background on James Robison. According to an article penned by Ken Silva back in 2014 (below) Rev Robison was a rapidly apostatizing charismatic. “It begins with what I covered…in my 2011 article James Robison and Rick Warren Working to Reverse the Protestant Reformation.” Silva revealed that the famed televangelist misled tens of thousands when he said to “Pope” Francis “Let me just say to you that I see Jesus in you; and in Christ we are brothers, we are family. Thank you for speaking the language of love that all may come to know him and love him and love one another.”
So, now that you’ve been provided with some research to consider, here’s Protestia’s piece:
Prominent Texas-based televangelist James Robison passed away this weekend at the age of 82, according to a message posted on social media by his board of directors and ministry family. Continue reading
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you: which privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that hath bought them, and bring upon themselves swift damnation.
2 And many shall follow their destructions, by whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you, whose condemnation long since resteth not, and their destruction slumbereth not. 2 Peter 2:1-3 (1599 Geneva Bible)
I worked for many years as a computer programmer and database developer. There are many developers who are team people who are not very creative, but their proficiency at coding makes them very useful in working on very large applications where the work is divided up along functional lines. Then there are the very creative developers who are confined by a highly structured programming environment, which seems, to them, to stifle their creativity. I must confess that I am of the second type. If I can’t be creative, I lose interest. The creative process is what I thrive on. Continue reading
“The modern church cannot preach this because the modern church desperately wants to be liked by the very world system God says stands under judgment. So pastors become public relations agents for divine sentimentality. They speak of love detached from holiness. Mercy detached from justice. Grace detached from repentance.”
(The Dissenter) There is something deeply unsettling about watching a man stand on a stage with a Bible in his hand, speaking with the cadence of a preacher while slowly dissolving the very attributes of God that make the gospel necessary in the first place. Not in one violent motion or overt act of apostasy where he rips pages from the Scriptures and throws them into the crowd like confetti. But far more subtle, polished, and marketable. Continue reading
“Either we continue to get chased out of our own neighborhoods by gangs, fentanyl zombies, and robbed by the city’s corrupt homeless-NGO elite, or we put a stop to it. We either get the tents off our streets, or we never will. We either keep on dying, or we start living.”
(Mike Sabo – American Reformer) From JD Vance’s Heir Apparent Status to Spencer Pratt’s L.A. Insurgency
After the 2028 presidential election draws closer, the question of who will be Donald Trump’s heir looms. When Trump exits the national political stage on January 20, 2029, at the age of 82, his successor may already have been sworn in that day as the 48th President of the United States. Despite possible fallout from the war in Iran and what looks to be a difficult midterm, all signs point to Vice President JD Vance. Continue reading
1 Therefore, I urge you brothers through the compassions of God to present your bodies as living, holy sacrifices, well pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service. 2 And do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may discern the will of God, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect.Romans 12:1-2 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)
The vast majority of people in this age of Evangelical churches are by-and-large spiritually immature, Biblically ignorant, and self-centered, therefore, these people are also no threat to our enemy and his kingdom because they fall for every wind of doctrine, are prey to the wolves who have invaded the church at every level and they believe the lies such as, “God wants all of you to be rich and healthy and to have your best life now.”… Continue reading
“Fetterman wasn’t done. He went a step further and named an actual, self-described communist seeking a Senate seat in Maine. Graham Platner, the presumptive nominee who had an actual Nazi tattoo on his chest until he covered it up for his campaign…”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is clearly done playing nice. He may not be leaving his party, but in a recent interview with Reason, he called out what the dangerous lurch toward socialist — and even communist — extremism inside the Democratic Party. Continue reading
“We last covered Mark Driscoll in our article Fox News Driscoll, which we catalogued him openly lying to his congregants, and also after we commented on his bizarre porno-visions…”
(Protestia) Trinity Bible Church “pastor” Mark Driscoll is under fire for implying on X that Jesus’ mother may have considered aborting him if a Planned Parenthood had been nearby.
“May was a teen mom and Jesus had no earthly father. It’s a good thing there was no Planned Parenthood in Nazareth.” Continue reading
Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, a called Apostle having been set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which he promised before through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3 concerning his Son – having come from the seed of David according the flesh, 4 – having been designated Son of God in power according to the Spirit of Holiness by resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we received grace and Apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations on behalf of his name, 6 among whom you are also the called ones of Jesus Christ, 7 to all the ones in Rome, loved ones of God, called ones, saints, grace to you and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 1:1-7 translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)
In the passage above the word “faith” in v5 translates the noun πίστεως (pisteōs), which is the Genitive, Singular of πίστις (pistis), “faith, faithfulness.” The verb form of πίστις, πιστεύω (pisteuō) means, “to have faith in, trust; particularly, to be firmly persuaded to something.”….

“What looks from the outside like the charismatic movement holding itself accountable is, on examination, the movement identifying figures who have become liabilities and executing them publicly before their scandals contaminate the broader institution. The theology survives every time.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) JD Hall, of Insight To Incite, one of the largest Christian substacks, recently called out Mike Winger, one of the largest Christian YouTubers. In a recent article titled, “Mike Winger, Controlled Polemics, and PR in a Discernment Mask,” Hall characterizes some of Winger’s seminal work as “an entertaining post-mortem on an already-cooked career[s].

“And once that happens, the moral descent is not dramatic at first. It’s weirdly normal. And that’s the creepy part. Everybody keeps mowing their lawns and posting vacation photos while the foundations liquefy beneath their feet.”
(The Dissenter) Rome had a strange smell near the end of its empire. Historians don’t really talk about that part. They write about military campaigns and collapsing currencies and corrupt emperors with grapes hanging from their fingers while boys danced in silk before them. Continue reading
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Moreover of your own selves shall men arise speaking perverse things, to draw disciples after them. Acts 20:29-30 (1599 Geneva Bible)
I was asked by a commenter not long-ago what Rob Bell had done that has so upset me that I would post some articles about him on Possessing the Treasure. His stance was that even though he disagreed with much of what Rob Bell taught, he read him and listened to him anyway because he likes to “be stretched.” Should we open up our hearts to hear the teachings of people whose stance on Christian essentials is marked by shades of grey? That begs another question…. Continue reading
“Why, then, do the children of God suffer so greatly in this world? We suffer for the glory of His name. The more impossible the situation, the more clearly God’s grace and power can be seen in us. Although the examples I cited above relate to persecution, this truth applies to every instance of Christian suffering.”
(Christopher Collins – TruthScript) Not far from my present location is North Korea, a place of torment and death for Christians. Even closer is China, a land where faithful Christians are harassed and jailed with impunity. Both once fell under the shadow of the Japanese Empire, in which realm Christians were imprisoned and tortured for many years. Continue reading
5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died has been justified from sin. Romans 6:5-7 (LSB)
Romans 6:6 clearly shows us that true believers become holy in Christ. However, there is confusion because many do not look correctly at the Greek verb tenses in this passage. If they simply read it in English or some other translation it is easy to not see that the all the verb tenses here are past tenses (aorist or perfect)…. Continue reading
“The giant takeaway is that “we the people” are now being routinely deceived on vital matters by an ideological and corrupt press. And many of us don’t even care.”
(Bill O’Reilly) In court, we are compelled to swear that the truth be told. If you lie, you commit a crime: perjury.
But few are concerned about perjury. Ask any attorney. You can fabricate all you want; nobody much cares. Continue reading
“The establishment media will dismiss all of this as election denialism, but the fact is that the 2020 election was never properly investigated. Instead, we were told to trust the results of the “most secure election in history,” and if you dared to question the results, you were mocked, censored, or demonetized.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Something big is on the horizon — and the people saying so aren’t fringe voices on a podcast. They’re senior Trump administration officials.
Monica Crowley, the U.S. government’s chief of protocol, dropped a significant claim on Wednesday… Continue reading
“Barack Hussein Obama is the king of weaponization…documents declassified last year revealed he was present for key meetings that led to critical steps in the opening of the Russia Hoax investigation against President Trump…President Trump has restored integrity to the Department of Justice that Obama and Biden broke.” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) I still can’t believe that Barack Obama had the audacity to lecture Americans during his recent interview with Stephen Colbert about presidents misusing the Justice Department. Continue reading
“The most recent nihilist developments in American society can be attributed to these Jacobin* “Democrats”: biological men competing in women’s sports; critical legal theory that normalizes cashless bail; race-based reparations; violent felons arrested and back on the street hours later; radical abortion on demand until birth; attacks on the concept of the cultural “melting pot”; and opposition to organized Christianity.”
(Victor Davis Hanson) For the past century, the agendas of the Democratic Party were predictable. They professed concern for working Americans and supported blue-collar unions.
Unemployment insurance, a 40-hour work week, disability insurance, and Social Security were their trademarks — often rapidly achieved by growing government bureaucracies and continually raising taxes. Still, many Democrats were socially conservative. Continue reading
“Allberry refused to agree with God’s word and call his evil desires “sin” as the Bible does, which kept homosexuality burning in his heart. Christians cannot disagree with God and expect it to end well for them. If you refuse to kill sin, it will kill you. And if you’re a Christian, you have the Holy Spirit and the ability to repent, to put to death all evil motions of the flesh within you:”
(Jared Moore – TruthScript) Sam Allberry, a self-proclaimed “Christian who experiences same-sex attraction,” was recently caught in a homosexual relationship, causing him to resign as Associate Pastor of Immanuel Church in Nashville, TN, where he served with Gavin Ortlund, Russell Moore, Ray Ortlund, Barnabas Piper, and others. Allberry has taught across the country that homosexuality in your heart is not sin, if you don’t act on it…. Continue reading
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 Therefore what benefit were you then having from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit, leading to sanctification, and the end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:20-23 (LSB)
If you have ever listened to or read the teachings of any of the emergents or “liberal christians” or perhaps someone like Rob Bell then you probably have noticed the similarities in their reasonings for how they arrived at their theology of unbelief. Most of them are confessed refugees from some form of pietistic or American Evangelicalism that leaned heavily towards semi-pelagianism and legalism…. Continue reading
(Breitbart) The Walt Disney Company has made a statement after several of its staffers were arrested as part of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s ongoing child sexual exploitation material enforcement operations.
“We have a zero-tolerance policy for this type of behavior and fully cooperated with law enforcement,” a Disney spokesperson told the New York Post responding to news of arrests being made after federal agents boarded five cruise ships, including a Disney cruise docked in San Diego, between April 23 and 25.
