16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Thou shalt eat freely of every tree of the garden,
17 But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die the death. Genesis 2:16-17 (1599 Geneva Bible) Read Genesis 3:1-6 and Genesis 3:19 on the site.
The doctrine of original sin is a vital part of genuine Christian orthodoxy. For a long time I didn’t really appreciate how important it is in our concept of the depths of our guilt before our sovereign and thrice Holy God…. Continue reading
“Mike Winger repeatedly asks why charismatic leaders fail to correct one another. Yet his own material supplies the answer. The ability to expose false prophecy requires admitting that modern prophecy itself lacks biblical warrant and purpose. To rebuke the authority structures that permit and support the Shawn Bolzes of the movement would require dismantling the fraudulent and extrabiblical “giftings” and phony “annointings” that the charismatic movement is built upon. To protect the sheep would require sacrificing the movement.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) These days, anything a politician does is analyzed to death, especially by people desperate to find something to be angry about. Vice President JD Vance has announced something that doesn’t need to be picked apart for hidden meaning. It’s a blunt message to the left that the Trump administration stands firmly behind ICE agents, no matter how loud the protests get or how many Democrats try to throw roadblocks in their way.
(Revolver) There are politicians who attend Davos to blend in, shake hands, and calm the same tired crowd with promises that nothing will change. And then there’s President Donald Trump…
“The absence of an official transcript is an indefensible demand that is insulting to the American people who demand answers about Epstein’s crimes,” said House Oversight Chair James Comer.
“Winger’s video does not contain any new allegations, but rather a detailed and comprehensive summary of what has gone on.”
“It’s childishness. It’s what happens when a generation raised on self-expression and TikTok activism believes that every moment of discomfort is oppression. They aren’t storming Normandy. They’re throwing tantrums because mom said it’s time for bed.”
“President Trump accomplished more in one year than many presidents did in eight. The President delivered on every major campaign promise — securing the border, stopping Biden’s inflation crisis, signing the largest middle-class tax cuts in history, ending woke DEI nonsense, and restoring American strength on the world stage.”
“The goal is to create a general sense of chaos and anxiety and to up the pressure on ordinary people who just want peace. Some, obviously, will want a crackdown, but others will blame the Trump administration for stirring up a hive of hornets.”
The email is headlined, “Update on activities of federal agents in Minneapolis, guidance for employees….This is a check-in with employees ahead of the long weekend,” the email begins. “We send all employees emails when there’s a critical update or new time-sensitive instruction for all City employees.” 
(David Manney – PJ Media) For decades, a clock ticks without notice, then it stops for a moment that freezes the family listening in the living room, followed by silence. Not because the clock lacked value, but because its presence mattered more than anybody realized.
(Whatfinger) Independent journalist was able to gain access to a building in Los Angeles, California because the page-in system to get in was broken What he discovered was DOZENS of home healthcare and hospice businesses IN ONE BUILDING Some of the doors don’t even have signs for the business and many of the names just sound fake If you were running a business for hospice, you wouldn’t want 20 other hospice businesses right next door for competition….
“The challengers argued that there’s a “subset” of “birth-sex males” who shouldn’t be excluded from girls’ sports because they don’t possess all the physical advantages of normal males. The conservative justices appeared unconvinced by this hair-splitting definition of convenience.”
“This rhetoric comes amid a more than 1,100 percent surge in assaults on ICE agents nationwide, and yet no Democrat has acknowledged the role they’ve played in ramping up dangerous rhetoric against federal officers.”
“The concept is straightforward: these companies are supposed to provide rides for people on welfare programs who need to get to medical appointments or other services. But when Shirley and David started visiting the physical addresses listed for these businesses, things got sketchy fast.”
“Each time events occur that the left deems evil, horrible, or whatever other term they’d use. This time was no different; opinions filled the air after the shooting. Instead of, you know, waiting until facts are assembled, assertions hardened before evidence surfaced.”
The Corinthians were enamored with human wisdom, innovation, ingenuity, methodology, and cleverness. Their love of these human qualities drove the conflict in the church because they were crediting the apostles and other church leaders with greatness (or lack thereof) based on human value systems. That is why Paul puts forward his example of ministry so his readers might have a relentless focus on Christ and submit to the gospel of Jesus and His way of living it out in the church.
“The point isn’t to save water or electricity. It’s to make people get used to everything always getting a little bit worse instead of better. They’re conditioning us for socialism.”
