Check Out This Trash Promoted On YouTube Kids And Tell Me They Aren’t Grooming Children

“Parents have to be vigilant and realize that there is now no media, online or over the air, that you can trust children to watch unsupervised.”

(Harris Rigby – Not the Bee) There is no safe way to allow children to use the internet.

Even with companies like Disney, Nickelodeon, Netflix, and YouTube creating content and platforms specifically “for kids” the content is never as innocent as presented. Continue reading

What is the basis for Genuine Christian Living?

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine-grower. 2 “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He cleans it so that it may bear more fruit. (John 15:1–2 Legacy Standard Bible)

Something has changed. Of course, I am sure the changes I am referring to have not suddenly taken place, but are, in fact, the result of years of God’s judgment upon nations, church groups (denominations), church leaders, and professing Christians because Christians at the core along with their leaders have compromised….

Proof has emerged from the White House that Biden’s presidency is over

“Worse was still to come.  Normally, everyone in the room should be clamoring to be near the American president.   After all, political power is the strongest magnetic force in the world.  But in Biden’s case, he was the creep at the party, the one everyone assiduously ignores and avoids,”

(Andrea Widburg – American Thinker) Barack Obama was at the White House yesterday, making it clear, as did others at the reception held in Obama’s honor, that Biden’s presidency is over. Watching Obama suck the oxygen out of the room made me wonder if Obama is planning a comeback, something he can easily do. Continue reading

Bombshell Coming to Blow Open the Biden Crime Family

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) New startling revelations are due this week, It will allegedly be a bombshell that “will blow open the Biden crime family”:

Watch the Grassley interview on the site.

DIRECT FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

CBS News reported that more than 150 financial transactions involving either President Joe Biden’s son or his brother were “flagged as concerning” by U.S. banks. Continue reading

Researchers Found Puberty Blockers And Hormones Didn’t Improve Trans Kids’ Mental Health At Their Clinic. Then They Published A Study Claiming The Opposite.

Father injecting son with puberty blockers.

What’s surprising, in light of all these quotes [in the article], is that the kids who took puberty blockers or hormones experienced no statistically significant mental health improvement during the study. The claim that they did improve, which was presented to the public in the study itself, in publicity materials, and on social media (repeatedly) by one of the authors, is false.

(Jesse Singal) An article called “Mental Health Outcomes in Transgender and Nonbinary Youths Receiving Gender-Affirming Care” was published in JAMA Network Open late in February. The authors, listed as Diana M. Tordoff, Jonathon W. Wanta, Arin Collin, Cesalie Stepney, David J. Inwards-Breland, and Kym Ahrens, are mostly based at the University of Washington–Seattle or Seattle Children’s Hospital. Continue reading

The Nihilism of the Left

“When an American president predicts a food shortage in what used to be the breadbasket of the world, then we see the wages of socialism in all their unapologetic cruelty. When the Left can scarcely hide its glee that diesel fuel hit $7 a gallon in California, the public is finally seeing that the Bidens, Newsoms, and AOCs of the world care nothing for the real-life consequences of their elite utopian green fantasies….”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) The last 14 months have offered one of the rare occasions in recent American history when the hard Left has operated all the levers of federal government. The presidency, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the permanent bureaucratic state are all in progressive hands. And the result is a disaster that is uniting Americans in their revulsion of elitists whose crazy ideas are tearing apart the fabric of the country. Continue reading

‘The Chosen’ Is An Affront To A Holy God

I am sorry, but enjoying the “personality” Dallas Jenkins has given his false Jesus is wrong. Enjoying The Chosen with your family, because it helps provide “discussion points,” is wrong.

(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) I am the wrong guy for this. My friends, especially in my old church, know how flawed I am. But I ask again, how can we think this….creation….by Dallas Jenkins (the earthly middleman) can in any way bless or help us in our walk? Continue reading

Tim Keller Wrongly Portrays Pharisees as ‘Bible-believing Religious People’

“To suggest that the Pharisees were “Bible-believing religious people” is, in and of itself, false teaching, which makes men who propagate that lie false teachers. It makes Tim Keller more like the Pharisees than those he is trying to paint as Pharisees. By this definition, these people would call Jesus Himself a Pharisee.”

(Reformation Charlotte) When Jesus walked this earth, he spent a seemingly inordinate amount of time in verbal combat with the various religious leaders of the Jewish faith, the Scribes, Pharisees, and the Sadducees. Most often, though, we see Jesus rebuking the Pharisees for what seems to be their strict interpretation and detailed adherence to the law of Moses. Continue reading

Durham evidence creates timeline of relentless Democrat effort to sell Russia collusion hoax

“In his latest court filings, Durham repeatedly called Sussmann’s comments a “lie” that had consequences, concealing from the FBI that the origins of the Trump dirt came from his rival’s campaign, Hillary Clinton.”

(John Solomon – Just the News) As the trial for former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann draws closer, Special Counsel John Durham is painting a picture of a relentless effort by Democrat operatives to sell the Russia collusion narrative across the U.S. government from the FBI to the State Department. Continue reading

The Left Is the Culture War Aggressor

(Ben Shapiro – PJ Media) Last week, reporter Christopher Rufo released footage of top Disney employees vowing to inject their radical LGBTQ agenda into children’s programming. Disney producer Latoya Raveneau told an all-hands meeting that her team works to push a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” in programming aimed at kids and sought to add “queerness” to such content. Disney corporate president Karey Burke announced that she was the mother of “one transgender child and one pansexual child” and that she would try to achieve a quota system whereby half of all Disney characters would be LGBTQ or people of color. Disney diversity and inclusion manager Vivian Ware stated that Disney’s beloved theme parks would be eliminating any mention of “ladies and gentlemen” or “boys and girls.” Continue reading

Former Hillsong pastors say they were threatened by Brian Houston to hand over their church and assets

“Brian Houston warns that Vera and Zhenya Kasevich “have a lot to fear” and that his general manager has “a lot of useful information for the US embassy” about the former Hillsong Kyiv pastors.”

(ABC News) Two former European pastors have accused Hillsong co-founder Brian Houston and the church’s general manager of sending threatening emails during a dispute over the transfer of their church, cash, and assets to Hillsong Australia. Continue reading

No One Can Come To Me Unless The Father Who Sent Me Draws Him (Reprise)

41 Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that came down out of heaven.” 42 They were saying, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. John 6:41-44 (NASB) 

(Mike Ratliff – Possessing the Treasure) One of the aspects of our Christian faith that we lose sight of sometimes, and it gets us in trouble when we do, is how vital it is that we remain totally amazed that we ever got saved at all. We make a huge error when we forget this because that path leads to self-righteousness, self-absorption, and an ungrateful heart towards God. Even though we may not be fully aware that we are in that place of self-focus, we cannot be Spirit-led when we are full of self. Continue reading

Bethel Church’s Bill Johnson Shills ‘Healing School’ Heresy While Wife Dying of Cancer

“This incongruence between heretical wishful thinking and reality is best seen in a new post by Johnson, who is inviting people to come to a “healing school” where they can pay $165 to train in both becoming a healer, and also being healed.”

(Protestia) Beni Johnson is married to one of the most famous faith healers in the world, and yet she is dying of cancer. This is an inescapable fact. Diagnosed in 2017, the wife of Bill Johnson had CT scans recently that revealed her body is full of tumors, and a few weeks ago she took a turn for the worse, prompting the church to set up a 24/7 prayer chain for her….

The Criminal Investigation Into Hunter Biden Is Heating Up: Here’s What You Need To Know

(Cabot Phillips – Daily Wire) The federal government’s criminal investigation into Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, is reportedly gaining steam. As prosecutors begin seeking key grand jury testimony, new information appears to indicate the president himself may be linked to his son’s scheme.

Background

In 2018, the Department of Justice launched a criminal investigation into Hunter Biden that centered on potential money laundering, tax fraud, the violation of foreign lobbying laws and more. Continue reading

Americans Sour on Disney’s LGBTQ Agenda

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Disney’s boasting about indoctrinating kids with LGBTQ propaganda isn’t sitting well with the American public, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey released Tuesday. According to the poll, only 28% of American adults believe the emphasis on “inclusion” and “diversity” makes children’s entertainment better.

However, a plurality — 45% — thinks it will make children’s entertainment worse, while only 18% say it won’t make a difference. Continue reading

The CDC is bringing in a team of specialists to polish its disgraced image after two long years of utter and embarrassing failures

(Harambe – Not the Bee) If there were any justice in the world—or at least the executive branch—then the headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would be evacuated in an orderly fashion, then razed to the ground with dynamite, then paved over with 9-inch thick cement.

But we don’t live in that world. We live in a world where the CDC gets to drop a bunch of taxpayer change hiring outside consultants to try and restore its own shameful visage: Continue reading

Could Elevation Church Replace the Scandal-Plagued Hillsong on the World Stage?

Steven Furtick is a charismatic Word of Faith pastor who has aligned himself with many of the giants in the prosperity gospel, including Word of Faith Oneness pastor, T.D. Jakes, and has been praised by former Hillsong NYC [disgraced] pastor, Carl Lentz who stated, “your church and your life are such good examples of what happens when you mix unadulterated focus on JESUS, ferocious faith and availability with the grace of God…absolutely anything is possible.”

(Reformation Charlotte) As Hillsong Church has been plagued by multiple scandals over the last several years including its latest scandal involving its top leader, Brian Houston, the international organization now appears to be crumbling before our eyes opening the doors for another corporate conglomerate to fill its shoes.

What Convinced James His Brother Was God?

The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.  Deuteronomy 32:4

By Robby Lashua

My brother isn’t God. It’s pretty obvious (we grew up together, after all), and nothing he could do or say could convince me of his divinity. I’m not God, either, and nothing I could do or say would convince him otherwise, too.

Yet somehow, Jesus convinced his brother he was God. And James was so confident, he was willing to die for his belief. How did Jesus do it? What convinced his own brother to acknowledge Jesus was God and worship him? Continue reading

Durham releases former Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann’s text message, says he put ‘lie in writing’

“Clinton, in the tweet, also shared a statement from her campaign’s senior policy advisor Jake Sullivan, who now serves as President Biden’s White House National Security advisor.”

(Fox News) Special Counsel John Durham, in a filing late Monday, released what may prove to be a crucial piece of evidence in the case against former Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann—a text message he sent to the former FBI general counsel the eve of their September 2016 meeting stating “the same lie in writing” that the information he would share would be “not on behalf of a client or company.” Continue reading

Happiness is the Truth

“Your humble correspondent believes America is a noble nation, but significant corruption is affecting our collective happiness. There are too many fanatics among us, and their actions can lead to oppression and suppression. Those things badly damage the happy pursuit.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Putting aside all the unhappiness over politics and social disagreements, all Americans should understand the concept that divides us. It is “the pursuit of happiness.”

But what’s that? Well, it’s in the Declaration of Independence right after “life, liberty.” Those concepts are self-evident, the Founders wrote. But the pursuit of happiness deal is a bit trickier. Continue reading
