(Doug Ladner) There are books that inform, and there are books that unsettle, and every so often a book manages to do both at once. Keri Ladner’s American Dominion: The Rise and Radicali)zation of a New Christendom is that kind of book. I do not say this lightly, and I do not say it as a matter of political fashion. I say it as someone who has spent a good many years sitting across from people whose faith was bent and used against them, and who has come to recognize how much of the damage traces back to the very theological currents Ladner is tracing here. This is a book I believe every Evangelical Christian in this country needs to read, even — perhaps especially — those who will find parts of it uncomfortable.
The great strength of American Dominion is its first half, where Ladner does the patient, unglamorous work of intellectual history. She does not begin with the New Apostolic Reformation itself but reaches back to the early years of the last century, to figures like Charles Fox Parham and William Seymour at the headwaters of American Pentecostalism, and then traces the thread forward through Aimee Semple McPherson, William Branham, and a good many others whose names have mostly faded from popular memory….

“The crime was heinous: on January 23, 2023. She killed her three children, Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8 months), with exercise bands and later attempted suicide. Her defense has called her a 
While eastern meditation emphasizes repetitive chanting, the Bible teaches mediation as a means of reflecting on the meaning of scripture and condemns vain repetition. “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” – Matthew 6:7 KJV
“One of the reasons God pulls back the curtain – in the Bible and today – and allows us to see people blowing their lives up with sin is to warn us of the consequences we’ll reap from our own sin, and so that we might learn not to repeat the sins of others. Take the free advice God gave the PMBC elders. They spurned it. You learn it. Or you just might be the next example God allows others to learn from.”
“Is there a Biblical model of church conferences? With all the valuable information the Scriptures provide on how the church should function, one wonders whether there are examples of conferences in the early church. Actually, there are some. Paul calls the Ephesian elders to meet with him in Miletus, where he counsels them to “pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood” (
(Protestia) Prominent evangelical teaching and preaching ministry G3 is shutting down “effective immediately,” according to a brief email they sent to Network church partners that was obtained by Protestia.
It also mentions that his friends have low-security digital footprints and posts what appears to be screenshots of their profiles. It even names at least one of them. At some point, it apparently says, “This is just the beginning! Barron Trump, wait for us!”
“These cases involve very different circumstances, but both highlight the devastating consequences that severe postpartum mental illness can have, and both raise a question that deserves serious attention: What happens when postpartum effects become severe, when the people around a struggling mother fail to recognize the danger, and when treatment does not adequately address the crisis?”

(Bill O’Reilly) Abraham Lincoln was the most loathed President in history; 
“Today, whole churches and even some denominations are engaged in deconstructing the “faith once delivered to the saints,” in fact creating a whole new God who is more to their liking, and a gospel that suits their modern sensibilities.”
“As we watch the ugliness unfold, there are lessons for us. Don’t just ‘tut tut’ from the sidelines. When we see something like this happen, remember that sinners be sinning and we’re sinners too. We need to remember our gut reaction to seeing people’s sin exposed, and remember it’s just as ugly when we ourselves gossip, slander, cause division, and deceive…”
“G3 isn’t really the problem. It’s just one manifestation of the real problem. The real problem is the monster we’ve built as evangelicals—the Evangelical Industrial Complex. The evangelical speaking circuit has become one of the most profitable ways for church leaders to line their pockets.”
“One wonders how this itch to discredit or destroy their adversaries by anonymous dirty tricks crept into G3’s DNA. This will be another scandal G3 did not need, and it is one they probably cannot survive. The organization frankly should not survive if anyone on the inside who knew about or participated in this plot remains in leadership.”
“First, what is a Democrat socialist? Marketing aside, it’s a communist. The official platform wants public ownership of corporations to seize the means of production. They want to “abolish the carceral state, which means no police, no prisons, of course, no guns for self-defense, so we are sheep to the slaughter….'” 
“But this clown bypasses the entire debate by pretending that God has disclosed the answer to these charismatic windbags through “prophetic dreams.” He turns his own personal political views into divine revelation and then declares that the Christians can have “zero doubt” that this is all from God. And who wants to oppose God, right?”
“In recent American history, many have seen Jesus as fire insurance. Praying a prayer to believe in Him means that you’re not going to go to hell. However, people who go down this path, flippantly believing in Jesus, are often unconverted because they don’t understand His true teaching.” 
“In the most aggressive point in the debate, Andrew Wilson makes an attempt to force Candace Owens to defend her conspiracy mongering at the 2:34:00 timestamp: “Do you actually believe that anybody in TPUSA or Erika Kirk […] actually participated, had foreknowledge of, or facilitated the murder of Charlie Kirk?” This was an excellent way to put the question to Candace, such that she’d have no choice but to take a stand one way or the other….”
“It’s the Gold and Platinum VIP add-ons that are raising eyebrows, at a whopping $740.74 for gold VIP and an eye-watering $5,128.21 for the platinum, not including ticket price.”
(Amy Spreeman – Berean Research) I recently received a letter from a women’s ministry asking about speaking in tongues, after several of the group’s members discussed their own personal experiences praying to God in a private prayer language. Additionally, because the New Testament seems to be encouraging tongue-speaking in church, they asked if this gift was still alive and practiced biblically today. Great questions!
“With Christian Post, there appear to be few illegal aliens unworthy of amnesty, as even criminal records do not merit deportation automatically.”
“Christ is the head of the church. The church does not need popes, cardinals, celebrity theologians, or anyone else to stand in that role. The ordinary ministry of the word is within the context of the local church and faithful preaching.”
