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

TrueAnon: It’s not a conspiracy theory if there really is a conspiracy.

“It all starts to sound very quickly like grooming on a mass scale, glossed over with a sinister veneer of tolerance and fun. In other words, a hyper-powerful cabal of monied predators.” 

(Spencer Klavan – The American Mind) Conspiracy theories aren’t dangerous when they get things wrong: they’re dangerous when they get things right.

QAnon—the online game of interdimensional chess in which Donald Trump does covert battle with a hyper-powerful cabal of monied pedophiles—is factually false in almost every particular. Justin Bieber is not sending a coded message about being sex trafficked because he touched his hat on Instagram. Donald Trump was not reinstated as president on August 13…. Continue reading

Perry Stone under investigation by Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, report claims

(Anugrah Kumar – Christian Post) Two years after being accused of sexual misconduct by several women, televangelist and Bible teacher Perry Stone is under investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, according to a report.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) has a list of at least nine alleged victims and has interviewed at least five people, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reports. Continue reading

Are You Asking the Right Questions?

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. James 1:5-8

Sometimes it is less important to have the right answers than to have the right questions. A man named Saul thought he did not need to ask any questions. He had all the answers. The most important question, according to Saul, was “How can I be good enough for God?” He thought he had that answer down cold. Continue reading

Ex-Lesbian Featured in Anti-Prosperity ‘American Gospel’ Film Goes Full Prosperity Gospel

“God primarily deals with me in dreams. I’ve been enlightened, warned, and led to intercede for others through them. But lately, I’ve had an increase of “inner unctions” by the Spirit, that arise in prayer, about people I know and don’t know. It’s deep.”

(Reformation Charlotte) The prosperity gospel, also known as Word of Faith, is a movement inextricably linked with the charismatic dreams and visions movements including various streams of Pentecostalism as well the New Apostolic Reformation…. Continue reading

Former Trans Person Slams Biden for Promoting ‘Institutionalized Child Abuse’

(Emily Robertson – CNSNews) The Biden Administration is engaging in “institutionalized child abuse” by encouraging children to transition genders, Walt Heyer, who was formerly transgender, argued to Fox News host Laura Ingraham Thursday.

Ingraham invited Heyer, who was born a biological male, transitioned to female at the age of 17, and then detransitioned some years later, on The Ingraham Angle to share his regret of transitioning along with addressing the consequences of parents and the government encouraging children to transition. Continue reading

TikTok Pastor Declares ‘Jesus isn’t the only way to salvation’

Robertson’s tutelage as a self-styled “public theologian” seems light years from evangelical Christianity: Jesus isn’t the only way to salvation. Hell doesn’t exist. He doesn’t know “what happened after the crucifixion”. 

(Jeffrey Walton – Juicy Ecumenism) Jesus isn’t the only way to salvation, insists TikTok pastor Brandan Robertson, whose progressive preaching on the Chinese-owned and video-focused social networking service has reached millions. Continue reading

Do our prayers change God’s mind?

Does prayer make any difference? Does it really change anything? Someone once asked me that question, only in a slightly different manner: “Does prayer change God’s mind?” My answer brought storms of protest. I said simply, “No.” Now, if the person had asked me, “Does prayer change things?” I would have answered, “Of course!”

The Bible says there are certain things God has decreed from all eternity. Those things will inevitably come to pass. If you were to pray individually or if you and I were to join forces in prayer or if all the Christians of the world were to pray collectively, it “would not change what God, in His hidden counsel, has determined to do. If we decided to pray for Jesus not to return, He still would return…. Continue reading

Biden Wants to Replace Border Detention Centers with ‘House Arrest’ and Provide Illegals with Taxpayer-Funded Attorneys

(Penny Starr – Breitbart) Joe Biden continues to import illegals into the United States and wants funds to put migrant border crossers under “house arrest” and provide them with taxpayer-funded attorneys to fight deportation.

The move will make the numbers at detention centers decrease while the illegal population will continue to grow inside the U.S. and will provide a road map for relatives and others who are trying to get into the U.S. Continue reading

Does God Love Everybody?

“It’s better to follow the approach of the apostles and early church in the book of Acts.  They simply preached the gospel along with the call for people to repent and believe in Jesus Christ.  The word “love” isn’t used at all in the book of Acts, and we certainly don’t hear the apostles telling unbelievers that God loves them.”

(Wes Bredenhof) A parishioner asked me whether God loves everyone. She was discussing this with a friend. The friend insisted that God doesn’t love everyone — he only loves believers. My parishioner’s gut reaction was to disagree. This was my response: Continue reading

Alert! The WHO’s Planning a Global Treaty for a Great Reset

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The globalists are keeping the pandemic going even though it is clearly over as a pandemic. There is a reason for that. The WHO is attempting to push through a treaty that would give them global control over health that answers some of the goals of the WEF’s Great Reset.

We better hope the Senate rejects this treaty and doesn’t go along with a deal like they did with the Paris Accords. Continue reading

Public Schools Are Cesspools of Debauchery. Get Your Kids Out Now, Before It’s Too Late

(Paula Bolyard – PJ Media) If there’s one thing we’ve learned during the pandemic it’s that many parents had no idea what was going on in their kids’ schools. Oh, parents knew there was crazy stuff going on in other schools, but by and large, there was a sense of NIMBY — it’s not happening in my backyard. Sadly, we’ve become increasingly aware of the abuses and indoctrination children across the country are suffering at the hands of unhinged teachers — teachers pushing their left-wing political agendas, encouraging children to be sexual deviants, and treating parents like they are not qualified to raise their own children without the state intervening in their families.

The Dangerous Legal Structures of Hillsong Church

(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) Jesus once told a parable about two different people constructing houses. One built on a foundation of stone and the other on sand. When the rains came the house built on sand collapsed. The foundation was critical for a lasting home. In the parable, the foundation represented the words of Jesus and obeying them.

In a similar manner Hillsong Church was constructed on a foundation of sand.

Australian pastors Brian and Bobbie Houston founded Hillsong in Australia and launched a bold strategy to plant churches internationally. Continue reading

Disney’s Core Audience Isn’t Families, It’s Socially Awkward Adult Fandoms

“Kids can go away. Disney’s audience is socially awkward adults who actually hate kids. And yes, they’re exactly the sorts of folks who think schools sexually grooming young children is the best thing ever.”  

(Daniel Greenfield – Frontpage Magazine) Marvel’s movie sausage factory has scored over $25 billion worldwide.

Disney’s theme parks are still profitable, in the billions, but they’re one of the least profitable elements of the Mouse Empire. (Forget Mickey and Donald, even Disney may not be able to bribe enough D.C. politicians to hang on to the IP rights.) Continue reading

Why Is Everybody Ganging Up on Poor Hunter Biden?

“It has become obvious in recent years that America has a two-tier justice system, with Democrats and Leftists walking or getting light penalties (think Hillary Clinton and Jussie Smollett) for serious offenses, while law enforcement authorities go on fishing expeditions to find something, anything, they can hang on Donald Trump or other dissenters from the Leftist agenda.”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) After stories of Hunter Biden, his laptop from hell, and his massive web of shady dealings were ignored until Old Joe Biden was safely installed as pseudo-president of the United States and long after that as well, suddenly the Hunter Biden stories are everywhere….

Leaked documents show how teachers recruit students, form gay and transgender clubs in schools

The packet also asks teachers to list supporters and enemies of these clubs. One section is dedicated to listing the names of allies who “would support this project.” Another section is provided to identify any existential threats to the club and to list those who could be a “barrier to your success.”

(Christopher Tremoglie – Washington Examiner) Imagine a scenario in which your child comes home from school and tells you that they now identify as “pansexual.” Or, while telling you about the school day, your child mentions that he or she was told he or she was gay based on a test a teacher gave them….

Deadly Cover-Up: Who Buried the Research Proving Ivermectin Saves Covid Patients’ Lives

“Although Justice is sometimes slow to come about, and nothing can bring back all the people who died, several states are now considering bills to allow Ivermectin to be reclassified as an over-the-counter medication.”

(Faye Higbee – RAIR Foundation) The government and mainstream media have repeatedly ridiculed and suppressed any suggestion that Ivermectin should be prescribed for Covid-19. However, the actual science shows that Ivermectin is remarkably effective at preventing serious illness and death from Covid-19. Continue reading

Biden administration endorses transgender youth sex-change operations, ‘top surgery,’ hormone therapy

Father injects his transgender child with hormones.

(Timothy Nerozzi – Fox News) President Biden’s administration has released a series of documents encouraging gender-reassignment surgery and hormone treatments for minors.

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Population Affairs released a document Thursday titled “Gender Affirming Care and Young People.” The same day, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Child Traumatic Stress Network – another subset of the HHS – released a parallel document titled, “Gender-Affirming Care Is Trauma-Informed Care.” Continue reading

Research: Homosexuality – LGBTQ Issues

1 Cor 6:9-11 tells us there is no such thing as a homosexual Christian. But the Good News is that Christ’s shed blood covers all sin. Unfortunately, the homosexual agenda’s strategy is to make churches either silent and powerless to speak Truth, or to get them on board as “gay affirming.” The Homosexual Agenda at its core is a self-centered set of beliefs and objectives designed to promote and even mandate approval of homosexuality and homosexual ideology, along with the strategies used to implement such. The goals and means of this movement include indoctrinating students in public school, restricting the free speech of opposition, obtaining special treatment for homosexuals, distorting Biblical teaching and science, and interfering with freedom of association. Advocates of the homosexual agenda seek special rights for homosexuals that other people don’t have, such as immunity from criticism (see hate speechhate crimes). Such special rights will necessarily come at the expense of the rights of broader society. The homosexual agenda is the biggest threat to the right of free speech today. (Source) Strategies: A step-by-step approach of the homosexual agenda:

  • legalize homosexuality
  • promote gay pride parades
  • demand non-discrimination laws
  • insist on homosexuals’ adoption of children
  • push the homosexual agenda in schools
  • force “gay marriage” on society
  • demand public funding to deal with increased homosexual-related social problems
  • promote the transgender agenda
  • impose a large-scale loss of free speech
  • ban counseling for kids confused by homosexual issues
  • attack churches

Quotes from After the Ball, outlining strategies of the homosexual agenda (Source):

  • Talk about gays and gayness as loudly and as often as possible. (They use late night air waves and special channels, as well as their right to peacefully assemble to do so.)
  • Portray gays as victims, not as aggressive challengers.
  • Give homosexual protectors a just cause.
  • Make gays look good.
  • Make Christians look like victimizers
  • Get funds from corporate America.

Phrases, Practices and Terms:

  • Rainbow symbol adopted by homosexuals
  • LQBT (Lesbian Queer Bisexual Transgender)
  • Gay pride
  • Gay rights
  • Those who oppose homosexuality are labeled homophobes, hatemongers, bigots
  • “Zapping” of anyone who rebuffs homosexuality

Revoice Conference:

“This conference illustrates just how cleverly deceptive this [Revoice] movement really is, as they manipulate the audience emotionally with heart-wrenching testimonies between each and every session by “homosexual Christians” who have “decided” to be celibate for Christ, for which they surely deserve all the glory and applause!” (Source)

Robert Gagnon addresses his concerns with the Revoice Conference and those who align with the “Spiritual Friendship” program here.  An excerpt from Gagnon’s essay:

The adoption of terminology for self-identity that cannot be sanctified and inevitably brings in the whole “LGBTQ” baggage (“sexual minority,” “gay,” “transgender”). This terminology is normally associated with self-affirmation rather than sin and switches the obligation of the church from a call for repentance and restoration to a call for inclusion and diversity that celebrates what should be mortified. The fact that evangelical proponents of the “sexual minority” language are unwilling to use it of those with a pedophilic or polyamorist orientation should tell us all something. (Source)

“Gay (same-sex attracted) Christian” leaders: 

  • Sam Allberry (an apologist and writer for Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, and a consulting editor for The Gospel Coalition. Allberry promoted the Revoice Conference. Bible Thumping Wingnut podcast has a program on him here — the discussion begins at 14:00)
  • Greg Coles
  • Nate Collins (Revoice founder. The stated goals of the Revoice conference include, “Supporting, encouraging, and empowering gay, lesbian, same-sex-attracted, and other LGBT Christians so they can flourish while observing the historic, Christian doctrine of marriage and sexuality.” The conference’s main theme: Homosexuals who don’t commit physical acts are free to keep their LGBTQ+ identity.)

What the Bible says about homosexuality:

  • For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. (Rom 1:1-28)
  •  Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.  And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Cor 6:9-11)
  • Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,  for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. (1 Cor 6:18-20)

Ok, Groomers. Leaked Internal Zoom Confirms Disney Drank the Gender Cult Kool-Aid

(Megan Fox – PJ Media) There has been a massive overreaction by members of the LGBTQWTF Gendergeddon cult and their woke corporate partners over the new Florida law that prohibits creepy adults from talking to little kids about sex. Instead of realizing that most parents don’t think that adults who aren’t related to their kids should be talking to them about explicit topics and hiding those conversations from parents, the woke cult is having temper tantrums. One tantrum happened when Disney called an internal meeting to soothe gay employees’ hysterics. During the meeting, high-ranking Disney employees assured the staff that they would be queering the [heck] out of Disney content from now on. Continue reading

Flu shot scam

“Instead of asking if the reason people didn’t want to get jabbed was that the shots manifestly DID NOT WORK, the authorities simply looked for ways to encourage or force people to take them. By 2010, research on “vaccine hesitancy” and “compliance” began to accelerate.”

(Alex Berenson) We increased flu shots over 15-fold between 1980 and 2020. You’ll never BELIEVE what happened next!

This chart is real, straight from the Centers for Disease Control. And it’s spectacular:

Scoop: FEC fines DNC and Clinton for Trump dossier hoax

This may well be the first time that Hillary Clinton — one of the most evidently corrupt politicians in American history — has actually been held legally accountable, and I’m proud to have forced the FEC to do their job for once. The Coolidge Reagan Foundation proved that with pluck and grit, Americans who stand with integrity can stand up to the Clinton machine and other corrupt political elites.”

(Paul Bedard – Washington Examiner) The Federal Election Commission has fined the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for lying about the funding of the infamous, and discredited, Russian “dossier” used in a smear attempt against Donald Trump weeks before he shocked the world with his 2016 presidential victory.

‘Spirit Birthing’ a Demon. Is This The Wildest Charismatic Manifestation Ever? Stolen Babies, Midwife Angels, Golden Parachutes and Labor Noises

(Protestia) Charismatics are a different breed, aren’t they? Here’s a video from a Battle for Canada Event: “What was, what is, and what is to come” – 2 years later.” Art Lucier presided over the night of prophetic intercession. Lucier previously issued prophecies in 2019 and in early 2020 revealing that because Jesus and his disciples caught 153 fish, there was a supernatural tie to Canada’s 153rd birthday, which was to take place in the summer of 2020, and so this momentous day would be preceded by a series of national gatherings leading up to Canada Day. Then the pandemic hit, and it was a crime in most of Canada to even go outside unless it was for work, or to sit on the grass for any reason, making Lucier a false prophet. Continue reading
