The words of God

34 For He whom God sent speaks the words of God; for He give the Spirit without measure. John 3:34 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)

In the New Testament we have a Greek word translated “Word” that most of us are very familiar with, which is λόγος (logos). This word is used by the writers of New Testament most often to refer to a “Christian proclamation as a whole of the N.T.” On the other hand, there is another Greek word translated as “word” or “words” in the New Testament which we will look at in this post. It is ῥῆμα (rhēma)… Continue reading

A New Nick Shirley Video Shows Grift That Is ‘Ten Times Worse’ and Will Cause ‘World War III’

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was told over the weekend that a new Nick Shirley video being released soon – maybe even as early as Monday — is “ten times worse” than the “Quality Learing Center” daycare scam.

In Shirley’s previous video, he and his source, David Hoch, who has been investigating this billion-dollar-plus scam for years, discovered multiple daycare centers in one building without children in them for years.

Watch the videos on the site.

And this is where Hoch says is the heart of the ongoing continuing criminal enterprise. Continue reading

The Rebellion

(Bill O’Reilly) Less that 24 hours after 37-year-old Renee Good was shot dead by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, two U.S. Border Patrol officers approached a van parked in Portland, Oregon.  The agents ordered the two occupants out of the vehicle. They refused. The foreign nationals then allegedly tried to run down the officers, who shot and wounded the pair.  They are now in federal custody and expected to survive.

Reaction was swift and predictable.  The Border Patrol guys were condemned by Oregon officials almost across the board…. Continue reading

Bob The Baptist’s Bunk History: Anti-Christian Nationalist Retelling Of Young Restless Reformed

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The anti-Christian Nationalists were soyjacking over a video with a thesis that the Young Restless and Reformed movement devolved into the Manosphere. It was a bold take, but is it correct? Short answer: This is incredibly bad history.

Bob The Baptist is an up-and-coming anti-Christian Nationalist YouTuber who places a pretentious amount of production value in his commentary, invoking levity that balances whining and near-tears. Being one of the Joel Webbon hate channels has amassed 3000 subs with his latest video putting him over 3k. Continue reading

When Politics Ruin the Music: My Disillusionment With One of My Favorite Artists

“I don’t expect celebrities to agree with me on everything, but I also don’t care for politics to invade my music (even when I agree with the sentiment).”

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Sometimes, encounters with celebrities we admire can disappoint us. My friend and colleague Sarah Anderson told me a story about meeting Atlanta Braves legend Chipper Jones at an autograph-signing event years ago. Continue reading

Witnesses to the Deity of Jesus Christ

30 “I am not able to do from myself. As I hear I judge and my judgment is just because I do not seek my will but the will of the one who sent me.” (John 5:30 translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)

Our Lord Jesus Christ, as the Apostle John said in John 1:1-5, “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος. οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν.  πάντα δι᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ χωρὶς αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο οὐδὲ ἕν. ὃ γέγονεν ἐν αὐτῷ ζωὴ ἦν, καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἦν τὸ φῶς τῶν ἀνθρώπων·  καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει, καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν.”, and in v14, “Καὶ ὁ λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν ἡμῖν, καὶ ἐθεασάμεθα τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, δόξαν ὡς μονογενοῦς παρὰ πατρός, πλήρης χάριτος καὶ ἀληθείας.”, translated as, “In the Beginning was the word and the Word was with God and God was the Word. This one was with God in the Beginning. All things came to be through him and without him not one thing came to be which came into being…. Continue reading

The ICE Cop Video Is Out and Polite Society Now Demands Apologies From the Following Riot Fans

Tim Walz says it was a “BRAZEN ACT” for the ICE agent to defend himself from a radical Liberal trying to kill him. He’s INCITING MORE VIOLENCE! “This is a brazen use of force. They want us to bend the knee. They want us to capitulate.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) The line to the confessional starts over there. In the front you can see Jacob Frey, kneeling; there’s Tim Walz, the governor, who’s gesticulating apace; another governor, this one from Oregon, who had an Antifa terrorist in her employ, is watching Walz to see what she should do; and that Philly sheriff who embarrassed law enforcement everywhere with her pronouncements on who the “real, not made up” cops are has bogarted the mic. Over there are the commies, Mamdani and that Seattle scarecrow, who are waiting their turn for Open Mic Night at the American Apology Tour. Continue reading

BREAKING: Up-Close Footage of Assault on ICE Officer in Minneapolis

(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) UPDATE, 2 p.m. Eastern: The Department of Homeland Security has attested that the footage is real.

Original story:

The cellphone footage multiple outlets posted on X shows the near-deadly assault on a federal immigration officer that caused him to shoot his assailant in self-defense, with the video being from the officer’s point of view.

Alpha News and Townhall published what is apparently cellphone footage showing up close and personal how Renee Nicole Good, a terroristic leftist activist radicalized by other rioters, deliberately rammed her car straight into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer standing in front of the vehicle as he told her to get out of the car.

Watch the video on the site. Continue reading

The GOP Has One Chance to Win the PR War Over the ICE Shooting. Here’s the Playbook.

“It looks like the ICE officers had all the time in the world to move out of the way. But when you watch it again in real-time, you realize that the ICE officer had to make a life-or-death decision in the blink of an eye. A 4,000-pound Honda Pilot in the hands of a criminal, with its wheels spinning on icy roads, posed a clear and present danger to the officers.”

(Scott Pinsker – PJ Media) Let’s begin with the bad news: The probability of further violence is still sky-high, and more people will almost certainly die. Protesters are radicalizing by the minute.

But the good news is, this is a winnable PR war for the GOP. Continue reading

The SBC SATF Revelations only reveal a Rotten Leadership Class

“Conservative Southern Baptist leaders never apologized for their destructive promotion of Social Justice, Critical Race Theory, or any number of poorly constructed and divisive resolutions filled with half-truths that were foisted on messengers at the annual meetings.” 

(Marshall Albritton – American Reformer) In light of the recent disclosure of discovery materials and an expert report in the defamation lawsuit against the Southern Baptist Convention, Guidepost Solutions and others, people are going to witness again a negative behavioral trait that is common to many religious leaders. Continue reading

The Golden Calf and apostasy

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many dwelling places: if it were not so, I would have told you: I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there may ye be also. 4 And whither I go, ye know, and the way ye know. John 14:1-4 (1599 Geneva Bible) Read 2 Peter 3:1-4 on the site.

Those familiar with the Exodus of Israel from bondage in Egypt to the Promised Land of Canaan know that the journey was long and arduous. Only two men from those who left Egypt made it through the journey. The rest died on the way. Their children were those whom Joshua led to conquer and claim the land flowing with milk and honey…. Continue reading

Wolves Wear Smiles

“It got me thinking about when evil is hidden by outward beauty, or kindness in good deeds, or even just lots of smiles (i.e. Joel Osteen), how few people discern. I hear so often that so-and-so cannot possibly be a false teacher because she is so kind…nice…joyful.”

(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) On old TV show The Twilight Zone one of the most famous episodes was The Masks (1964). In New Orleans during Mardi Gras, a dying millionaire father calls his brutish, oafish, vain, greedy family to his side one last time before he dies. They arrive by train from Boston, giddy at the notion of inheriting millions but not caring their dad was dying. Dressed to the nines and looking lovely, the family gathers to the father’s side. Continue reading

Here’s What Dems Don’t Want You to Know About the Woman Who Attacked ICE Agents

“Of course, anyone who has watched the videos of the incident could see that Good attempted to run over the ICE agent. As for whether Good was even a part of the effort to impede ICE, the witness did not hesitate.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) On Wednesday, an anti-ICE protester thought it would be a good idea to attempt to run over ICE agents in Minneapolis. She learned the hard way that attacking a federal law enforcement officer is not a good idea, and officers wound up shooting and killing her. Continue reading

Jen Wilkin Sets Herself Up as a Preaching Coach for Men

(The Dissenter) Jen Wilkin, a female preacher at Matt Chandler’s church—a Southern Baptist church—who has also publicly described menstruation as a “parable of the cross” is now being presented as a preaching coach for pastors. Not for women’s Bible study leaders. Not for curriculum writers. For pastors. For men charged by God to stand before the church and preach Christ with authority.

There’s an event promo posted on the site, then…

That alone should stop people in their tracks. Continue reading

Wielding The Sword Of The Lord Correctly

12 For the Word of God is living and active and sharper than every doubled-edged-sword and penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and insights of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)

In this day in which the truth is said to be unknowable, Christians must rely on the only source of pure truth we have. There is no truth that we can say is the complete truth unless we take it from God’s Word. The Bible is pure truth and it is the authority we rely on in order to have a firm foundation in this lost and dying world that is consuming itself in rebellion against God. Continue reading

Nick Shirley Drops Another Video, and It Will Blow Your Mind

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Independent journalist Nick Shirley’s back at it, and his second Minnesota fraud video packs the same explosive punch as the first.

That original 42-minute bombshell ripped the lid off Somali-run daycares that are raking in millions from taxpayers while sitting empty, while the Walz administration did nothing to stop it.

The legacy media have been aggressively trying to discredit Shirley and his reporting, but he’s not backing down…. Continue reading

Christian Author Phillip Yancey Confesses to Adultery, Will Retire from Writing

“His wife, Janet, to whom he’s been married for 55 years, also said in a statement…”

(Protestia) Christian author Philip Yancey has confessed to having an 8-year-long affair with a married woman and will retire from writing and ministry as a result, according to a story in Christianity Today.

Yancey is perhaps best known for his books The Jesus I Never Knew and What’s So Amazing About Grace? He has sold more than 15 million copies and his books have been translated into more than 40 languages. He told CT in a statement: Continue reading

Therefore Make your Calling and Election Sure

22 Having purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit, to love brotherly without feigning, love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 Being born anew, not of mortal seed, but of immortal, by the word of God, who liveth and endureth forever. 24 For all ,flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man is as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth away. 25 But the word of the Lord endureth forever: and this is the word which is preached among you. 1 Peter 1:22-25 (1599 Geneva Bible) 

The Puritans had a term they used in their theological writings and discussions describing professing believers who fell away or were in some way not consistent in their walk. They called them “temporary believers.” This may be a little offensive to many these days, but there are untold numbers of Pastors, Deacons, Elders, Evangelists, or whatever in our churches in our time who would not even qualify for membership in a 17th Century Puritan Church….

Warning: Tara Leigh Cobble, The Bible Recap, & D-Group

(Michelle Lesley) First, Michelle explains her criteria for doing research on authors, pastors, and Bible teachers that she receives a lot of questions about asking if she recommends them. Not long ago a number of readers asked about Tara-Leigh Cobble, host of The Bible Recap, a daily podcast, The God Shot, a daily radio show, as well as D Group. Here’s Michelle’s recommendation (scroll down until you see the article).

Tara-Leigh Cobble, or “TLC” as she likes to be called, “began her ministry as a singer-songwriter, performing her own songs and leading worship around the globe. After her first book was published, she added speaking to her repertoire. As a musician, writer and speaker, she spent more than a decade touring internationally before creating D-Groups and finding a home and community for herself in Dallas, Texas.” Continue reading

The PR Fallout of Tim Walz’s Political Demise: The Somalia Scandal Is About to EXPLODE

“The mainstream media won’t be able to cover for the Dems. More than anything else, that’ll be the ultimate PR fallout of Tim Walz’s political demise: The Somali fraud scandal is going to explode BIG TIME.”

(Scott Pinsker – PJ Media) The article starts off with a short, quick pirate joke that you can read on the site.

It’s the perfect segue to a PR analysis of Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.), who went from a 2028 presidential frontrunner to political roadkill over the last 10 months. As recently as early March, mainstream media outlets like The New Yorker published such fawning fluff-pieces as “Tim Walz Might Run for President in 2028 If You Ask Him Nicely.” Continue reading

JD Hall, Joel Webbon Announce Book Together

“We are living in an era where loyalty and courage are prized virtues instead of winsomeness or niceness.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) In a Friday news drop, Joel Webbon not only released the first installment of his interview with Nick Fuentes, he and JD Hall also announced their book as well. The Hyphenated Heresy: Judeo-Christianity challenges the myth of the hyphen in Judeo-Christian, tracing how it reshaped Christian identity, redefined the Church’s witness, and bound modern faith to political Zionism. Continue reading

Adoption

Romans 8:15 (NA28)15 For you  have not received a spirit of slavery leading to a spirit of slavery again, but you received the spirit of adoption as sons  by whom we cry out, “Abba! Father!” (Romans 8:15 translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)

The Eastern concept of adoption goes deeper than our Western concept. Only the Apostle Paul uses this word in the NT, υἱοθεσίας (huiothesia) translated in the passage above as “adoption.” Paul, being a Roman citizen, no doubt borrowed it from Roman culture since the Jews knew nothing of it. Continue reading

What is the Binding of Satan?

1 And I saw an Angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he took the dragon that old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and he bound him a thousand years: 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and he shut him up, and sealed the door upon him, that he should deceive the people no more till the thousand years were fulfilled: for after that he must be loosed for a little season. Revelation 20:1-3 (1599 Geneva Bible) 

Some translations render the first word in this verse as “And.” Even though chapter 20 follows chapter 19 it does not mean that the vision John is seeing here a continuation of the one from Chapter 19 and previous. This is simply John’s introduction into a new vision. The book of Revelation is not chronological. I have made that mistake myself insisting that events are sequential throughout the book. When we study the book of Daniel we find that there is no sequential order to the chapters there so why must we insist on that here? Continue reading

Adios, Maduro

“Ironically, at the same time the US Special Forces were physically removing Nicolas Maduro and his awful wife from their supposedly secure Caracas compound, the 34-year-old daughter of actor Tommy Lee Jones collapsed in San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel.  Dead. Fentanyl-laced narcotics.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Over the years, I’ve discussed America’s drug problem with President Trump.  In his first term, I had dinner with him at Mar-a-Lago and asked whether he was considering military action against the Mexican drug cartels, which have damaged the USA big time.  Mr. Trump hesitated, saying the blowback would be considerable.
