But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect… (1 Peter 3:15).
If you know anything about Christianity, then you know that the early Church was given a mandate by the Lord Jesus Christ to evangelize the lost. “Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, ‘This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem’” (Luke 24:45-47).
Christians are to evangelize the unsaved. Unsaved is a euphemism to describe people who are not going to the kingdom of light (Heaven) when they die; they’re going to the realm of darkness (hell) “where the worm never turns.” Those who reject the gospel message are not born again. Moreover, they’re not “saved.”
In Passivity Wes Bredenhof states that “Regeneration (being born again) is a one-time event where the Holy Spirit miraculously takes a heart of stone and turns it into a heart of flesh.” Here’s how Scripture sums up being born again: The old man dies and the new man springs to life! (John 3:3, 1 Peter 1:23).
Regeneration is not to be confused with sanctification, as sanctification is a lifelong process. To ‘sanctify’ a person is to make him holy. (John 17:16-19).
There are two categories of unsaved people: Those who have heard the Gospel of the Son of God (good news) and do not believe, and those who have never heard the gospel.
The gospel message is short and sweet: “It is the Holy Spirit who works in and through a person’s will to regenerate that person (John 1:12-13) and give him a new nature “created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness” (Eph 4:24). Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone (Eph 2:8-9), in Christ alone (Acts 4:12). Human works cannot save you, so it is fruitless to try to earn a place in heaven. (Gal 2:16; Eph 2:8-9; Tit 3:5). The Bible teaches that salvation is 100% God’s doing “nothing in my hands I bring, simply to the cross I cling.”
Grace is God giving us what we don’t deserve and cannot earn. God must first regenerate a person before he/she can believe. Continue reading
“The resolution…asserts that socialism has led to famine and mass murder under the Cuban Castro regime, the Chinese rule of Mao Zedong, the ongoing Venezuelan regime of Nicolás Maduro and others.”
“Some may argue that evangelical doctrine is stable, given that it is rooted in the Solas of the Reformation. This is true, but the emphasis of the past fifty years has been on outward aesthetics and novel ways to do church. More traditional forms of Protestantism, including fundamentalism, that have kept their liturgies and doctrine, are well positioned to benefit from renewed interest in older forms of religion.”
“This idea that Dems are “too crazy” to win should have died the day New York City elected a full-blown Marxist. The political environment we’re in is not normal. It’s not predictable. And it’s not forgiving.”
12 There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death. Proverbs 14:12 (LSB) 
(Mary Dowling) Charlie Kirk’s security guards tried to save his life, giving him first aid. However, the head of his security, a former police officer, Brian Harpole, said the “wounds were incompatible with life”. Sadly, Police Chief Long told Mr. Harpole on the Monday before Charlie was killed that he would safeguard the roof. Charlie’s head of security had asked due to his expressed concerns about the danger. Long never did what he promised to do.
“These shooters are not outliers, but monuments of the new sexual revolution. They are evidence in the case against a culture that celebrates what God condemns. Transgender ideology does not free the captive, it inflames the fallen nature, converting inward confusion into outward violence. And as the state shields this madness—banning the very therapies that point to repentance and sanity—it guarantees the cycle will accelerate, claiming more victims in classrooms, nightclubs, and public squares. The pendulum hasn’t slowed. It is gathering speed for the next collision.”

“The order gave the father “absolute unreviewable authority to deny any kind of association or even reading the Bible or religious philosophy, attending any church or any event or associating with anyone…or any church or religious organization.”
“When oil and natural gas are affordable, thanks to the fossil fuel production of Western nations, then illiberal and bellicose oil-exporting countries like Iran and Russia have less money to spend on aggressive wars or subsidizing their global terrorists.”
“School choice is the silver bullet that can slay the indoctrination monster. That’s why the wholly evil teachers’ unions are so bitterly opposed to it. They need a captive audience to keep the grift going. Captive audiences, actually — the students and the taxpayers.”
“No one should be shocked by this election. While Americans were apparently distracted or not paying attention or stupidly thinking they were being virtuous and tolerant by embracing a genuinely suicidal form of diversity, Muslims were steadfastly pursuing their decades-long blueprint of converting all Western countries — as they have in Europe — to an Islamic caliphate.”

“The establishment spent years gaslighting Americans. They told the public to ignore common sense. They mocked anyone who dared say the virus came from a lab, even though the evidence pointed straight toward Wuhan. Now the truth trickles out in slow, frustrating drips, and millions of Americans shrug because the lie has calcified—just like how millions of leftists still believe that Trump colluded with Russia.”
“The Washington Post uncovered Plaskett’s identity by matching timestamps on the texts with video footage from the hearing, even though the name was redacted in the documents.”
“Pope Leo wants a big tent, but is he ignorant of the ideology and its intent? While he’s opening up the tent, some of us will flee. We’re watching where this goes.”
“We can’t protect kids until we adults cure ourselves of any illusions that this is just another passing fad, a fringe movement that affects very few and will dissipate on its own. Gender ideology has a committed, well-funded, multi-faction army promoting and defending it. It’s going to take the equivalent on the other side to stand up against it.”
“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…”
(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.”
