Less Than Half of Americans Consider Religion Important

“For conservative evangelicals, this moment likely isn’t surprising—it’s just finally documented. The facade has fallen. The mask is off. The numbers tell the same story Protestia has been telling for years…”

(Protestia) Gallup’s newest World Poll puts numbers on what anyone with eyes has known for a long time: America is no longer a religious nation. The percentage of adults who say religion is important in their daily lives has fallen from 66% in 2015 to 49% in 2025—a 17-point nosedive in a single decade. Gallup notes that this is one of the steepest declines on earth over that time span. Continue reading

‘Next Step’ Is to Make ‘Everyone Reapply’ for SNAP to Ensure Integrity

(Ian Hanchett – Breitbart) On Thursday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins discussed data on food stamps and said that data from blue states is “going to give us a platform and a trajectory to fundamentally rebuild this program, have everyone reapply for their benefit, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through SNAP or food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable and they can’t survive without it.”

Rollins stated, “29 states, mostly the red states, responded with their data sets, February, March, April. … But here’s the most unbelievable news I have really, just over the last few days:… Continue reading

What is Apostasy?

11 Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:11-14 (LSB) 

Apostasy: [Middle English apostasie, from Old French, from Late Latin apostasia, defection, from Late Greek apostasi, from Greek apostasis, revolt, from aphistanai, aposta-, to revolt : apo-, apo- + histanai, to stand, place; see st- in Indo-European roots.]  Noun pl -sies abandonment of one’s religious faith, political party, or cause [Greek apostasis desertion] from: Collins Essential English Dictionary 2nd Edition 2006 © HarperCollins Publishers 2004, 2006

John Piper’s Church Has Gay Affirming Ed Stetzer Preach

Ed Stetzer is also the theology behind the He Gets Us Campaign, a series of high-profile, low-quality commercials that villainize Christians and promote liberal social policy. Moreover, he is a big promoter of The Chosen and extremely liberal “Christian” movies.

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) John Piper is one of the biggest celebrity pastors in America today. His ministry, Desiring God, is one of the largest online ministries, bigger than The Gospel Coalition. Yet, many people are unaware that John Piper is woke, despite it being well documented in his own writings which include the early use of Critical Race Theory, anti-self-defense rhetoric, pro Democrat conscious soothing, pro Covid vaccine propaganda, and more.

The Wrong Red Wave: More Than 250 ‘Democratic Socialists Now in Office

“DSA strategy views the Democratic Party as the key arena for building anti-corporate coalitions, though tensions arise when socialists defeat establishment Democrats. Membership surged from 6,200 in 2015 to 95,000 in 2021, fueled by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. A 2025 Cato/YouGov poll shows 62% of under-30s view socialism favorably, signaling growing mainstream acceptance of once-radical ideas.”

(Selwyn Duke – New American) Meet Hannah Shvets, a 20-year-old Cornell University sophomore and one of the newest members of New York’s Ithaca Common Council.

Shvets is also a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). Continue reading

Democrats Released Three Cherrypicked Epstein Emails… So the GOP Released 20,000

“Here’s where it gets interesting. Republicans on the House Oversight Committee decided to respond by releasing the entire trove of 20,000 documents they obtained from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein. All of them. Every single page.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Democrats thought they had a winning hand when they released three carefully selected Jeffrey Epstein emails on Wednesday morning. The timing was no accident. With their caucus still reeling from their base turning on them for caving on the government shutdown, they needed a distraction, and they believed these emails would deliver one. They were wrong. Continue reading

Apostates and Apostasy

20 And the one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away. 22 And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the one who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Matthew 13:20-22 (LSB)

The Bible very clearly teaches that Christians should examine themselves quite often in order to see what their spiritual condition is. Genuine Christians are not perfect people. Neither are they always full of happiness, in perfect health while having plenty of money in the bank. No, the fact that all believers are called to be humble, poor in spirit, meek, pure in heart and many other things that are growing in their character means that they will spend much of their time in the fires of sanctification.

Megyn Kelly Shows Proof Charlie Backed Tucker’s Interview at TPUSA

(Mary Dowling) Charlie Kirk was told by his Jewish donors to ditch Tucker Carlson before and after the TPUSA event that unsettled some donors.

Tucker said he was venting with Charlie backstage before the event. Tucker was angry about the neocons trying to start a war with Iran. He was also frustrated that he wasn’t allowed to mention that Jeffrey Epstein had contact with Mossad. Tucker said Epstein clearly had contact with American and French intelligence, but the only one you’re not allowed to talk about is the Israeli intelligence. Continue reading

Tucker Carlson’s Theology is a Dumpster Fire

“Carlson claims that demonic beings make deals with governments, maul people in their sleep, and even birthed nuclear technology. Apparently, the Manhattan Project was a seance and, in Tucker’s view, human beings aren’t evil enough on their own to conjure up such a thing.”

(The Dissenter) Tucker Carlson—the silver-tongued sage of cable news turned podcaster—can eviscerate a politician’s hypocrisy with a single raised eyebrow. We’ve cheered his political broadsides, nodded through his takedowns of woke absurdities, and admired his knack for exposing elite corruption.

He’s good…really good at that. And I like the guy, so don’t take this as a denunciation of him. It isn’t. Continue reading

Trump Takes on the Lyin’ Beeb

“Apparently, though, the folks at the Beeb didn’t get the memo. Or, more likely, they got it and just didn’t care because it didn’t fit their narrative. Which is why they aired a documentary that featured diabolically edited footage of the speech — footage that made Trump appear to say the following: We’re going to walk down to the Capitol… I’ll be there with you, and we fight. We fight like hell.”

(Douglas Andrews – The Patriot Post) By now, all but the most deranged denizens of the Leftmedia fever swamps know what Donald Trump did and didn’t say during his January 6, 2021, address on the Ellipse just south of the White House. Continue reading

The Smiling Communist

“Despite election euphoria in the radical zone last week, Mayor Zohran will have a difficult time trying to provide free services and stuff because New York City is deeply in debt and the state legislature in Albany, a loon sanctuary, has to okay all new income taxes.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Let’s be fair to Zohran. He won the election to be NYC’s mayor in a fair way. Smiling constantly, he looked young and spirited next to Andrew Cuomo, who was channeling Bela Lugosi.  Look him up under 30 people. Continue reading

At TPUSA Event, Antifa Proves the Battle Is Between Good and Evil

“While attendees peacefully attended the event, the violent agitators had the audacity to call them Nazis and fascists. They celebrated the public execution of Charlie Kirk in a not-so-subtle way to send a message to everyone who was there, along with you and me…”

(Tim O’Brien – PJ Media) The assassination of Charlie Kirk and the subsequent behaviors on the part of a shocking number of leftists ever since have proven that the battle between good and evil rages on greater than ever in America and the world. In my life, while evil may have existed throughout society at the same levels as today, it was never this brazen. Continue reading

The Bible is what God uses to communicate to His people

Since Possessing the Treasure has existed I would say that a very large percentage of the “debate” we have dealt with here has been whether the Bible is God’s Word or simply another book. Of course, related to that, would be the doctrine of Sola Scriptura. The genuine Christian does accept the Bible as Sacred Scripture and a huge part of God’s revelation of Himself to them. Those professing Christians who decry this, however, insist that knowledge of God must be derived from non-communicative ‘encounters’ with Him, that is, through experiences of one kind or another. The problem with this should be obvious. If we hold to the truth that God’s revelation of Himself to us is primarily through the Bible as His verbal self-testimony then we are dependent upon it as unchanging and complete truth. However, if we hold that God communicates to us primarily via experience then there is no foundation. Truth becomes arbitrary and subjective. Continue reading

The Flood of Stunning New Evidence That J6 Was a Fedsurrection Can’t Be Ignored

“The media and congressional leaders lied about all of it. And if all that wasn’t your red pill moment, sit down because you may go from red to black pill by the end of this story.” 

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Like many of you, after the initial shock wore off, it became quite clear that something nefarious was behind the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the Capitol Complex. Things were too pat. Narratives were set and eagerly parroted by the media within hours. Buses filled with non-MAGA people were reported and verified by congressional reps. And there were “bombs” found at the Democratic National Committee and later at a club near the RNC. Impeachment talk was openly discussed. Continue reading

N.T. Wright Defends Annihilationism, Suggests Judas Ceased to Exist?

Or we could say, and I’ve tried to argue this here and there, they cease to exist as an image bearing human being. They’re saying in effect, ‘I no longer want to be somebody who is called to reflect God’s wisdom into the world and reflect the praises of the world back to God. I just don’t want to be that sort of creature anymore.’

(Protestia) Famed New Testament scholar N.T. Wright has weighed in on the state of those who explicitly reject Christ and salvation, suggesting they’ll simply be annihilated or exist in some state of being a creation, but not an image bearer. Continue reading

Democrats Cave on Government Funding, Will Receive Nothing for Ending Schumer Shutdown

The result is that Democrats once again overpromised results to their base but came up empty-handed, inflicting forty days of pain for nothing of substance.”

(Breitbart) A disastrous shutdown for Democrats got worse Sunday when Senate Democrats folded on government funding while receiving nothing of substance in return.

Eight Senate Democrats voted with 42 Republicans Sunday night on a procedural vote to allow a continuing resolution (CR) funding the government to advance. Continue reading

Election

13 But we should always give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you as the first fruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth. 14 It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 (LSB) 

So many Christians are afraid to use the term “election” or to refer to the Body of Christ as “the elect.” The Bible does not have this problem. To “elect” means to select or choose. The Bible clearly says that before creation God selected from the human race those whom he would redeem, justify, sanctify, and glorify in Jesus Christ (Romans 8:28-39; Ephesians 1:3-14; 2 Thessalonians 2:13, 14; 2 Timothy 1:9, 10)….

The Great Falling Away

1 Now we ask you, brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken in your mind or be alarmed whether by a spirit or a word or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it has not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the sanctuary of God, exhibiting himself as being God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 (LSB) Read verses 5-12 on the site.

Part of my daily devotions is the reading from a book that takes a Greek word and shows how it is used in the Bible and then how it is understood and/or misunderstood in the visible Church. I am in a section of the book right now that focuses on the Greek words that describe worship. It just breaks my heart how the focus in our churches has become so self-focused instead of God focused…. Continue reading

Genocidal Muslim Terrorists Killed 200,000 People in 11 Years

Earlier this year, Front Page Magazine reported on the genocide of Christians in Nigeria and called on President Trump to take action. Charlie Kirk tweeted out our article with the message, “Did you know 125,000 Christians have been murdered and 19,000 churches destroyed by Muslims in Nigeria in the last 15 years? Weird how that never gets any attention. Wonder why.”

(Daniel Greenfield – Frontpage Magazine) Islamic terrorism is the outcry of the oppressed, apologists tell us. If the perpetrators only had access to more advanced weapons, they wouldn’t feel the need to massacre civilians with everything from machetes to rockets. Terrorism is a local phenomenon, not a global one. Continue reading

‘Jesus Calling Foundation’ Gives $1M To PCA Amid Internal Investigation Book’s Theology

“[Jesus Calling] is one of the most dangerous books released in the last twenty years for its espousal of blatant mysticism, Montanism, Theoeroticism, speaking for God, extra-biblical assertions, automatic writing, and rejection of the sufficiency of the scriptures.”

(Protestia) The 2024 Form 990 for the Jesus Calling Foundation is now available and shows that the foundation contributed over a million dollars from book royalties to the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) in a single year.

In 2024, the same year that the PCA Committee on Discipleship Ministries (CDM) was tasked to “assess the book’s appropriateness for Christians” and “provide recommendations (if needed) for remedial materials, advisory statements, or General Assembly actions concerning Jesus Calling, the PCA received $1,080,000 from the Jesus Calling Foundation.  Continue reading

The Cross is proof of God’s grace

9 And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and was praying these things to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’ Luke 18:9-14 (LSB) Read verses 13-14 on the site.

In our day it is not unusual to hear a man-centered version of the Gospel message that has everything turned around backward and is presented in such a way that is meant to appeal emotionally to unbelievers with a statement such as, “Christ’s crucifixion is proof of our worth to God!”… Continue reading

Huge crowd of Muslims gather to claim New York City for Islam…

“Assimilation isn’t oppression. It’s how a nation stays united. Without it, we’re just a collection of divided groups living on the same land — and that’s not a country, that’s chaos.”

(Revolver) What’s happening in New York right now has a lot of Americans on edge, and rightfully so. A massive group of Muslims gathered and publicly claimed the city for Islam. People who watched it unfold aren’t being “bigots” for feeling uneasy. They’re watching their country’s biggest city slip further from the culture that built it, just days after electing a Marxist mayor.

Benny Hinn Reveals 4 Tests That Separate True Ministers From Frauds

CRN does not recommend promoters of heretics Charisma, the “Christian” website this article is published on. Most people know by now that “faith healer” Benny Hinn is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s the worst of the worst a “very bad man.”

Now to Charisma’s LOL piece:

Pastor Benny Hinn sat down in a powerful interview with Pastor Joshua Hayward Mills of First Love Church to discuss the issues every minister faces and the divine principles that prepare leaders to shepherd God’s people effectively. Continue reading

Yes, Virginia, there is a Satan

Prayer for hard times image

“The answer of course is the Bible. Yet how many people actually read it? How many churches really preach it? How many Christians know about total depravity and sovereign grace? Or perfect wrath and holy terror?”

(Mike Arbige – TruthScript) In an election night filled with disappointing, albeit unsurprising results, perhaps none was more disappointing and surprising than Virginia’s comfortable election of Jay Jones as its next Attorney General. Yes, that Jay Jones. The man who fantasizes about killing Republicans and their children…. Continue reading
