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
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, whereof the holy Ghost hath made you Overseers to feed the Church of God which he hath purchased with that his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Moreover of your own selves shall men arise speaking perverse things, to draw disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn everyone, both night and day with tears. Acts 20:28-31 (1599 Geneva Bible)

“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.”
“That leaves us with one question Tucker nails perfectly: Why is the government, under both Biden and Trump’s own FBI leadership, so desperate to keep the truth about Thomas Crooks in the dark?” Revolver News
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
(Mary Dowling) Charlie Kirk was told by his Jewish donors to ditch Tucker Carlson before and after the TPUSA event that unsettled some donors.
“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.”
“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
