12 Not that I have already received or have been completed, I press on that, if possible, to apprehend it because Christ Jesus has apprehended me. Philippians 3:12 (translated from the NA28 Greek Text)
I have been blogging since 2006. I have been online with Christian Research Network since 2007. Most of what I write would be classified as “devotional,” however, there have been times I have been led to expose some false teaching or to shine some light into dark corners so believers could understand what was really happening in doctrinal issues facing all of us. Discernment is something all of us should be doing as believers. It is so sad when I encounter believers who have the attitude that their walk should never offend anyone so they do not “practice that discernment stuff.” On the other hand, I have also seen many “discernment ministries” online that I would prefer that they weren’t. Discernment is important so let’s take a closer look at the passage I placed at the top of this post (Philippians 3:12). Continue reading

“Jewish Americans can speak to the drastic change in atmosphere within the Democratic Party engendered by antisemites like Abudl El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani. Cutting off aid to Israel, while not harming Israel’s national security, would only serve to drive a wedge between the U.S. and our most important ally in the Middle East.” 
“The Dem establishment may still harbor fantasies about pitching the idea that moderates still exist in the party and El-Sayed, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and their Democratic Socialists of America ilk are outliers. That’s a lot tougher to do now that El-Sayed spent the weekend chilling with Barack Obama.” 
“Our enemy, in his savagery, is doing us a favour. If he terrorizes us, he also sharpens our understanding of adversity, reawakens our spirit of resistance. In spite of himself, the enemy has restored our flag and patriotism to us. He has restored fervourand flesh to the old European nations.…”

(Stephen Moore – Hot Air) Every few months, a young 19-year-old woman from South Carolina boards a plane to London. She isn’t going sightseeing. She’s going to get her next dose of a cancer treatment that was invented in the United States, developed by an American company, and credited by her doctors with clearing a brain tumor other surgeons had refused to touch.
“Someone posted that they asked AI to create a list of the top 20 false teachers of our time. We didn’t see the list, but we thought it might be an interesting exercise to see what AI would come up with. Of course, much of the result depends on the way the query is written, and the information isn’t the final authority on the issue. Our query outline was…”
“Republicans have tried to attack these candidates on this basis by claiming they are “woke” or “fake” Christian leaders who fail to support the religion they claim membership in, yet the polls still seem to favor them. They rarely, if ever, respond to critics, but set their sights on the problems facing the voters they wish to reach, things like affordability. For a generation spending hours in the mire of online attention-grabbing, insults, and sensationalism, I imagine this gives them the perception of maturity and focus.”
“DataRepublican says she’s got her hands on thousands of transcripts and hundreds of recordings that point to an elaborate, coordinated effort to provoke a constitutional crisis right after the 2026 midterms.”
“The 764 cult lives on Discord, gaming, and dark web chat sites. The group has the objective of “seeking to destroy civilized society through the corruption and exploitation of vulnerable populations, which often include minors…” 
Rowling believes that if a man is entitled to be treated as a woman, it follows that “No breast-feeding or rape support group should be allowed to exclude him. If he’s sexually orientated towards women, lesbians should include him in their dating pool. If convicted of a crime, even rape, he should be locked up with women.”
(Pulpit & Pen) Following is a thread about a recent interview with Carl and Laura Lentz to promote their new book ‘Overcome Infidelity.’ When asked about his time at Hillsong NY, Carl calls that church ‘the most beautiful thing in their life’ which produced ‘a real revival’ and where God moved, and that there won’t be anything like it again.
“All of this is, of course, a direct assault on the Constitution and the Madisonian system of checks and balances, and the current crop of plotters are also quite explicit about reordering our society and laws after they kick Trump out of office and jail his supporters.” 
(Bill O’Reilly) First, a couple of general points. There is far too much political hatred in the USA. It’s foolish. We should be far beyond the Alexander Hamilton-Aaron Burr cycle. But we’re not.
Matthew 7:27 could describe the fall of Heritage USA and PTL Network. “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

“The offending material? Approximately 17 seconds of a documentary that used Angell’s own publicly available statements as evidence of the theological problems being examined.”
