When I was a boy, my parents made me go to church every Sunday morning. I had no desire to go. I found the worship service boring and could not wait for it to be over so I could go play. But even worse than Sunday morning worship was the weekly catechism class, which was held on Saturday morning. That was the lowest point of my childhood experience in church. I had to go through a communicants class, then I moved on to the catechism class, where I and some other boys and girls had to memorize the Westminster Shorter Catechism. I endured it all just to become a member of the church and finish the course so my parents would be satisfied. I was not converted until several years later. Continue reading
TBN’s Sheila Walsh Headlines SBC Pastors’ Wives Luncheon
“It should go without saying that such luncheons themselves are a sign of excess and therefore unnecessary, but it is more egregious that it is used to subvert true doctrine to the pastors’ wives on the eve of many contentious battles.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Each year, the Southern Baptist Convention holds its annual Pastors’ Wives Conference which bills itself as a forum to minister to the wives of pastors. In 2023, the SBC hosted Rachel Gilson, a notorious promoter of Side B theology who led the downfall of Cru. This year, the luncheon tapped TBN host Sheila Walsh to headline the wives’ luncheon.

NSA director told FBI Pulitzer-winning WaPo story on Russian collusion hoax was ‘wrong’
(John Solomon – Just the News) Former National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers told FBI agents that the crux of a Pulitzer Prize award-winning Washington Post story on the Russian collusion hoax was “wrong,” according to newly declassified documents obtained by Just the News.
Admiral Rogers, who retired in 2018 after four years as National Security Agency chief and commander of U.S. Cyber Command, spoke with FBI agents and a key member of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team in June 2017, where he threw cold water on a May 2017 story by the Post titled, “Trump asked intelligence chiefs to push back against FBI collusion probe after Comey revealed its existence.” Continue reading
Trump Takes Jab at Biden, Reveals He Took Cognitive Test: ‘Got Every Answer Right’
Special Counsel Robert Hur revealed that while he would not charge Biden “for his handling of classified documents,” in a report, he described the former president as being an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
(Elizabeth Weibel – Breitbart) President Donald Trump took a jab at former President Joe Biden when revealing that he took a cognitive test during his physical examination and claimed he “got every answer right.”
While speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump said he thought he “did well” on his physical examination. When asked by a reporter if he received “suggestions or advice” on anything he should change, Trump said he received a “little bit,” but that “overall” he felt he is “in very good shape.” Continue reading
‘Open Letter To Todd White’ Alleges Years of Lies, Abuse, Theft, and Domestic Violence
“White is not an ordinary charismatic. White engages in parlor trickery that must be learned, practiced, and honed. His leg-lengthening stunts, mentalism, cold readings, and street-level “healings” are all tricks learned and mastered by secular magicians.”
(Protestia) Apologist Mike Winger has released A Warning to the Church about Todd White, sharing an open letter released by multiple eye-witnesses that have come forward alleging years of egregious and disqualifying behavior from the pastor and leader of Lifestyle Christianity, including theft, a litany of lies, spiritual abuse and manipulation, and even allegations of domestic abuse. Continue reading
Just Say No to Low-Flow Showerheads
“The Biden Administration aggressively targeted everyday appliances like gas stoves, water heaters, washing machines, furnaces, dishwashers, and more, waging war on the reliable tools Americans depend on daily. These appliances worked perfectly fine before Biden’s meddling piled on convoluted regulations that made those appliances worse.”
(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) “Low flow? Well, I don’t like the sound of that,” a skeptical Cosmo Kramer replied after hearing the news that his apartment’s superintendent was having the showerheads changed. That classic “Seinfeld” episode hilariously illustrated a very real problem President Donald Trump hopes to fix. [Watch the Seinfeld video clip on the site.] Continue reading
6.3K Illegal Alien Criminals, Terror Suspects, Paroled and on Public Benefits. $400M in Unemployment Fraud Uncovered
“Some $400 million in unemployment benefit fraud was uncovered. Money went to the dead, to children under age five, and even to those yet to be born. Also collecting: almost four dozen of those who are criminals or on the terror watch list.”
(R. Court Kirkwood – New American) It was bad enough that President Joe Biden opened the borders, invited in illegal-alien Venezuelan and other criminals, then permitted the nation’s Tren de Aragua gang, which is linked to the Maduro regime, to run rampant in American cities. Continue reading
Narnia’s Rich Allegory Would Be Impossible With Meryl Streep As Aslan
“Hollywood can pretend identity politics and so-called “gender equality” matter more than fidelity to its source material, Lewis, and Lewis’ source material, Scripture. But if it follows through on the character sex swap, the point of the departure will be clear: We want none of your Christianity here.”
(Brooke Brandtjen – The Federalist) Several months ago, Netflix announced it would be producing its own interpretation of the Narnia franchise, set to be directed by Greta Gerwig. Avid fans of the series voiced their suspicions about how the company would interpret the books, beloved for their overtly Christian themes. Sure enough, skeptics had their fears actualized when they learned Meryl Streep is being considered for the role of Aslan. Continue reading
Nancy Pelosi Helped Cover Up Biden’s Decline and We Now Have the Receipts
According to Whipple’s reporting, Pelosi privately acknowledged Biden’s declining mental state while publicly defending him. During a May 2024 White House visit for her Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony, Pelosi was reportedly “startled” by what she saw. Continue reading
Repent or Perish
27 And after that He went out and noticed a tax collector named Levi sitting in the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me.” 28 And he left everything behind, and rose up and began to follow Him.
29 And Levi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a great crowd of tax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them. 30 And the Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling at His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?” 31 And Jesus answered and said to them, “It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:27-32 (LSB)
I had someone ask me not long ago how our salvation could be totally by Grace alone through faith alone, totally God’s work alone if it involved our repentance. My response to him was that the repentance part was our response to our Lord’s call, ἀκολούθει μοι, “Follow me.”… Continue reading
Massive Study: Sharp Rise in Major Heart Events After COVID Vax
(Mary Dowling) A new massive study of 85 million people, COVID-19 vaccination and cardiovascular events: a systematic review and Bayesian multivariate meta–analysis of preventive, benefits, and risk, was published in the March edition of the International Journal of Preventive Medicine.
It is a peer-reviewed analysis of 85 million people. The researchers uncovered a profoundly concerning rise in life-threatening cardiovascular events following COVID-19 vaccination.
It leaves serious questions about the long-term health impacts of mRNA (Pfizer and Moderna) and viral vector vaccines (AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson). Continue reading
God Has Given Us An Inch. Let’s Take A Mile.
“Discernment grows through a combination of biblical knowledge, practical wisdom, and spiritual maturity. Conversely, discernment falters when someone doesn’t know the bible very well, doesn’t walk in biblical wisdom, and is spiritually immature.”
(Michael Clary – Clear Truth Media) I’ve been in ministry for over twenty years. Early on, there were lots of voices in the evangelical world telling pastors what they needed to succeed. We were told Christians should not seek power, lest they make it an idol. We were told that preaching “political” sermons turns off non-believers, so it’s best to keep our views to ourselves. Above all else, we were told, we must be winsome. That’s the key to reaching lost people, especially in urban contexts. Continue reading
Southern Baptist Leaders Sign Joint Statement Calling for Open Borders and Opposing Deportation of Illegal Alien
“A nation without borders isn’t a nation. It’s a bus station. And right now, the SBC leadership looks less like a band of spiritual shepherds and more like the world’s most gullible Uber drivers, shuttling lawbreakers straight into the heart of a nation they seem determined to dismantle.”
(The Dissenter) There it is, in black and white. Thirteen ethnic fellowships within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) have officially declared what many of us have been saying all along. When it comes to our nation’s borders, they think enforcement is mean, deportation is cruel, and illegal immigration is basically just a minor paperwork error away from sainthood. Continue reading
Double whammy: Two new reports point to Biden Pentagon cover-up on COVID-19 origins search
(John Solomon – Just the News) Two new bombshell reports this week pointed to a cover-up by the Biden-era Pentagon related to the search for COVID-19’s origins. New information is spilling out years after the fact and pointing to Wuhan and its coronavirus lab as the origin of the pandemic all along.
First, a newly-released Department of Defense (DoD) report, made public only in recent days by the Trump-led Pentagon, showed that the Defense Department never formally investigated the possibility that U.S. service members may have been infected with COVID-19 during the World Military Games in Wuhan in the fall of 2019. Continue reading
Trump reveals the next industry that will face imminent ‘major’ tariffs
(Emma Colton – Fox Business) President Donald Trump previewed on Tuesday evening that the pharmaceutical industry will be the next to face a “major” tariff.
“We’re going to tariff our pharmaceuticals. And once we do that, they’re going to come rushing back into our country, because we’re a big market. The advantage we have over everybody, is that we’re the big market,” Trump said on Tuesday evening during the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual presidential dinner. Continue reading
Southern Baptist Mega-Circus Leaves SBC, Progressives Shed Tears
“NewSpring boasts over 10,000 members and thirteen campuses. Thirteen stages. Thirteen giving kiosks. Thirteen live-streamed sermons dressed up in leather jackets and emotional manipulation. That kind of operation pays dues. That kind of machine oils the SBC gears. When they leave, it’s not theology that’s threatened—it’s funding. It’s influence. It’s access. It’s market share.”
(The Dissenter) Good riddance! There, I said it. NewSpring Church has officially joined the ranks of spiritual circus tents that have packed up and left the Southern Baptist Convention, and frankly, the SBC should be sending them a thank-you note, not a love letter. Continue reading
Disturbing New Details Emerge About the Second Plot to Assassinate Trump
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The left has become so radicalized by its hatred of Donald Trump that it is beyond the point of differentiating between right and wrong. As we previously reported, a recent study from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) found roughly half of the political left think that assassinating Donald Trump or Elon Musk is morally justifiable.
“What was formerly taboo culturally has become acceptable,” explained Joel Finkelstein, the founder of NCRI. “We are seeing a clear shift — glorification, increased attempts, and changing norms—all converging into what we define as ‘assassination culture.’” Continue reading
The Collision of God and Sin
The Collision of God and Sin
By Oswald Chambers
From My Utmost for His Highest devotional for April 6th.
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)
There is nothing more certain in time or eternity than what Jesus Christ did upon the cross. He made redemption the basis of human life, restoring the whole of humanity to a right relationship with God. The cross of Jesus stands unique and alone. It is not the cross of a man or a woman; it is the cross of God, the exhibition of his nature. No parallel to it exists in human experience. Continue reading
NASA astronaut stranded in space gives glory to Jesus
“He teaches us when he says in his Word about being content in all situations because he’s working out his plan and his purposes for his glory and our good, and I believe that because the Bible says that. It doesn’t mean there’s no pain, but content and knowing that God’s in control: a sovereign God’s in control, working out his plan and his purpose.”
(Ben Zeisloft – The Sentinel) astronaut Butch Wilmore has pointed toward his Christian faith in the days since he and colleague Suni Williams returned to earth following several months of being stranded in space. Continue reading
‘Managing a Massive Amount of Requests’: Countries Clamoring for a Trump Trade Deal
“I just had a great call with the Acting President of South Korea. We talked about their tremendous and unsustainable Surplus, Tariffs, Shipbuilding, large scale purchase of U.S. LNG, their joint venture in an Alaska Pipeline, and payment for the big time Military Protection we provide to South Korea….”
(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) Speaking from the White House during an interview with Fox News Tuesday morning, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hasset revealed dozens of countries are pounding on the door for a tariff deal and that managing the number of requests for meetings is becoming difficult. Continue reading
What Is Sin?
“I’m not saying that obedience always brings happiness and sin sadness. Yet the Bible teaches again and again that “the way of transgressors is hard” (Prov. 13:15 KJV) and “thorns and snares are in the way of the crooked” (Prov. 22:5).”
(J. Garrett Kell – Crossway) The Battle with Sin
One catechism defines sin this way: “What is sin? Sin is rejecting or ignoring God in the world he created, not being or doing what he requires in his law.”1 Or as artist Shai Linne says, “What is sin? Sin is the breaking of God’s law plus our condition, which means from birth we all got flaws.” Continue reading
Supreme Court Allows Trump Admin to Enforce Deportations of Gang Members Under Alien Enemies Act
Attorney General Pam Bondi responded to the Supreme Court’s decision and described it as a “landmark victory for the rule of law. An activist judge in Washington, DC does not have the jurisdiction to seize control of President Trump’s authority to conduct foreign policy and keep the American people safe. The Department of Justice will continue fighting in court to make America safe again.”
(Elizabeth Weibel – Breitbart) The Supreme Court of the United States lifted a block from U.S. District Judges James Boasberg, which prevented the Trump administration from deporting suspected illegal alien gang members under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Continue reading
Remember, MAGA: This is No Time to Go Wobbly
“Stop complaining about tariffs, expecting miraculous results after only a few days. A person who is overweight, unhealthy, and addicted to junk food won’t suddenly become healthy after just a week of dieting and exercising. Be patient, and don’t get wobbly. The tariffs from Trump’s first term did not trigger the predicted inflation. Allow the process to unfold instead of reacting with hair-on-fire histrionics.”
(Brian Joondeph – American Thinker) British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once reprimanded President George H.W. Bush with: “This is no time to go wobbly.”
A variation of those words, for MAGA now, seem appropriate.
Thatcher’s words occurred in 1990 when Bush considered how to respond to Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait – whether to adopt a military response or not. Continue reading
Cotton Candy Faith: How Popular Women’s Bible Teachers Are Leading Many Astray
“They were marketed as relatable, down-to-earth, and winsome—code, of course, for doctrinally neutered, emotionally indulgent, and conveniently soft on everything that matters. Their rise wasn’t organic. It was orchestrated. If Christian publishing were a dating app, these lady-preachers were the algorithm-approved matches for a generation of women who think discernment is a spiritual gift for mean people.”
(The Dissenter) It’s been said that if you want to see the theological temperature of the modern American church, you don’t go to the pulpit—you go to the fellowship hall, where a circle of women sit cradling pastel-covered workbooks with Beth Moore’s name stamped across the front like a branding iron. The giggles are warm, the tears are real, the coffee is mediocre, and the doctrine is nowhere to be found. Continue reading
Paganicon 2025 – Re-enchantment and Neopaganism
“Some had come from churches whose mystical practices, though alleged to be biblical, were not all that different than the mystical practices of the paganism they have embraced. Some people found more acceptance and community among the pagans. One of our team spent time in the hospitality room of the Satanists, and one of the first things the Satanists told him was that approximately 50% of their members are LGBTQA+ and Transgender.”
(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwestern Christian Outreach) Some have asked why we attend events like Paganicon. After all, we are Christians, not pagans. Some of the leadership at Paganicon asked us the same question; why were we attending their event? They were concerned we might stir up trouble…. Continue reading
