The Seed of the Woman Has Come: The Real Reason for the Season (Genesis 3:15)

I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” — Genesis 3:15 —

(David Schrock) When we lived in Indiana, our parsonage was located next to the church. The church sat at 1200 North Ewing, our home was next door at 1202 North Ewing. At the same time, our house sat next to a snake pit. And to be clear, I’m not talking about the church. Rather, I am referring to the swamp-ish depression that ran alongside the parking lot, what we might call 1198 North Ewing. Continue reading

A Pandemic In Christendom: Calling Out Evangelical Compromise In The Church

(Ken Ham) As we started the year with the theme, “Waking up the Church,” I want to end the year with some shocking quotes that one would think would help wake up the church! Consider this question: are you totally sure of the virgin birth?

Did you know one well-known academic in the Christian world is only “reasonably confident” that Jesus was born of a virgin? This same person rejects a literal Adam and Eve, that Adam was made from dust, that Eve was made from Adam, that there was a literal tree of the knowledge of good and evil, a literal fruit, and a literal serpent….

The Controversial Birth of Jesus

(R.C. Sproul) The records of Jesus’ life and ministry cause controversy from the very start. The extraordinary narrative of the circumstances surrounding His conception and birth provokes howls of protest from the critics of supernaturalism. They must begin their work of demythologizing early, wielding scissors on the first page of the New Testament. Following Matthew’s table of genealogy, the first paragraph of the first Gospel reads as follows: “Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 1:18). Continue reading

Please—Stop the Coup Porn

“In truth, coups were regularly discussed during the last four years—but only in the context of a by-any-means-necessary way of deposing Donald Trump extralegally before his term ran out.” 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) In a recent Washington Post op-ed, three retired generals, Paul Eaton, Antonio Taguba, and Steven Anderson warn of a supposedly impending coup should Donald Trump be elected in 2024. Continue reading

While Biden Pushes Vaccines, Report Shows Hundreds of ‘Fully Vaccinated’ in Oregon Died of COVID-19

“If two-thirds of deaths caused by breakthrough cases in Oregon were of black people, the mainstream media would have a difficult choice to make. As reality has it, they can safely ignore the facts.”

(C. Mitchell Shaw – The New American) Even as the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue continues to push the narrative that vaccines are not only “safe, free, and effective,” but that they are the only way to combat COVID-19, reports continue to come to light showing that fully vaccinated people still die of the virus. In fact, they die in staggeringly high numbers. Continue reading

US adds Merck pill as 2nd easy-to-use drug against COVID-19

Agency approved Molnupiravir one day after approving Pfizer’s antiviral pill Paxlovid.

(Matthew Perrona – AP) U.S. health regulators on Thursday authorized the second pill against COVID-19, providing another easy-to-use medication to battle the rising tide of omicron infections.

The Food and Drug Administration authorization of Merck’s molnupiravir comes one day after the agency cleared a competing drug from Pfizer…. Continue reading

It’s On: Biden’s Vaccine Mandates Are Going Before the Supreme Court

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments for two challenges to Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates, reports Fox News. One challenge is for Biden’s vaccine mandate for private businesses with over 100 employees, and the other is for healthcare workers at facilities receiving Medicaid and Medicare funding.

Biden’s vaccine mandates have been challenged repeatedly by the courts and blocked several times…. Continue reading

FDA authorizes first COVID-19 treatment pill, Pfizer’s Paxlovin drug

FDA calls emergency authorization a ‘major step forward in the fight against this global pandemic 

(Danielle Wallace – Fox News) The Food and Drug Administration  authorized the first oral antiviral treatment for COVID-19, Pfizer’s Paxlovid drug.

Emergency use authorization was granted Wednesday for Pfizer’s Paxlovid – nirmatrelvir tablets and ritonavir tablets, co-packaged for oral use – for the treatment of mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease in adults and children 12 years of age or older weighing at least 40 kilograms or about 88 pounds.

Greg Johnson To The PCA: ‘Merry Christmas. Here Is A Lump Of Coal For Your Stocking’

“What some in the PCA and elsewhere do not seem to understand is that same-sex attraction is inherently corrupt and corrupting. It would not appear, from this latest essay, that Johnson appreciates this truth. He writes as if, by not acting on his sexual proclivities, he is doing the PCA a favor.”

(Scott Clark – The Heidelblog) For several years now, the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) has been roiled by controversy over whether to admit to her ministry men who are same-sex attracted but celibate (i.e., the so-called “Side B” approach). The debate has centered around a the so-called Revoice movement which openly celebrates “Gay Culture” and has come to focus upon the Rev. Mr. Greg Johnson, pastor of Memorial Presbyterian Church, St Louis. His views have been investigated by his Presbytery…. Continue reading

Democrats Want Jan. 6 to Be a Holy Day for Their Dark Church

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Believe it or not, 2021 is finally about to come to an end.

No, really, I’ve got several calendars and I’ve checked them all.

If there is one thing we’ve learned from the 2020-to-2021 transition it’s that it’s rather useless to assume things will get better. In fact, as long as Joe Biden’s deranged puppet masters are running the country, the safe money is on things getting much, much worse…. Continue reading

The simplest way to understand the insanity of boosting for Omicron

If the first-generation monoclonal antibodies are now so useless that they’re being retired, why would the first-generation vaccines be any better?

(Alex Berenson) We call them vaccines. But it is clear after a year of use that the mRNA shots do not produce a robust long-term B- or T-cell immune response.

What they do is drive up antibodies to the spike protein (to unnaturally high levels, levels that all by themselves may cause problems, but put that aside)…. Continue reading

Fauci: Tell Unvaccinated Family Members Not to Show Up at Christmas Gatherings

Watch the video.

(Pam Key – Breitbart) National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that considering the highly contagious Omicron variant of coronavirus is rapidly spreading through the United States, unvaccinated family members should be asked not to attend Christmas gatherings this year. Continue reading

Joe Biden Gaslights America! Year-End Recap: Claims Americans Are Better Off

(Breitbart – Wendell Husebo) President Joe Biden reportedly claimed in a year-end recap to congressional members that Americans are in better circumstances than they were in 2020.

During 40-year high inflation, high crime, high numbers of migrants crossing the southern border, the fractured supply chain, and omicron chaos, the White House dubbed the memo, “2021: POTUS Delivered Results for Working Families,” and touted vaccination rates and reopened schools, Axios reported. Continue reading

We’re Taking Our Lawsuit Against Biden To The Supreme Court

“The fight is not lost. And now is not the time to surrender.”

(Jeremy Boreing – Daily Wire) Alright, bad news first.

On Friday, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals lifted the stay against the Biden Administration’s tyrannical vaccine mandate.

I won’t lie. That’s a brutal setback in the fight for bodily autonomy, privacy, and Constitutional order.

The good news? Continue reading

‘Cloth Masks Are Little More Than Facial Decorations’: CNN Medical Analyst

Wen’s statement is also reminiscent of an email Fauci sent in early 2020 saying “The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material.”

(Spencer Brown – Townhall) CNN Medical Analyst Leana Wen joined Victor Blackwell on Monday afternoon to offer advice for Americans as Omicron panic grips mainstream airwaves ahead of Christmas and New Year’s gatherings. And one warning she gave viewers about masks is raising eyebrows. Continue reading

The Mark of the Beast? Implanted Microchips Storing Vaccine Status Are Already a Reality

“Although this technology is not new, the application to vaccine passports is a novel use for implantable microchips. While proponents say they’re safe and assure us that they can be removed anytime we want, what’s to stop the government from forcing us to take the implant, just like they’re forcing us to take the vaccine?”

If you wanted to create an army of conspiracy theorists who don’t trust the medical establishment and increase vaccine hesitancy in the populace, what would you do?… Continue reading

Hillsong Christmas Special Features Scantily-Clad Teen Girls Dancing and Writhing Around Provocatively

“…the mega entertainment corporation pretending to be a church once again featured scantily-clad women dancing and writhing around on stage in a sexually provocative manner.”

(Reformation Charlotte)  Hillsong is known for its lavish luxury carnal mindset and its music productions rival anything from Hollywood or Broadway. It’s a prosperity cult that masquerades as a church but attracts the world instead of Christians. Continue reading

Beth Moore is finally ‘home’

I am not remarking on a liturgical service or anything about Anglicanism. I am saying that Beth Moore’s departure from the SBC to a place where her heart’s desire has always been to serve in a place the Bible forbids has finally been satisfied. She is finally “home”.

(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) Recently Beth Moore departed Lifeway, renounced being a Baptist, and loudly left the Southern Baptist Convention. In June she declared on her Twitter that she had found a “small liturgical church” in her area. Beth has been mightily enjoying this small, liturgical church. It is an Anglican church. Anglican, not Episcopalian. Continue reading

Washington Post, Leftist Generals Stoke Hysteria About a 2024 ‘Insurrection’

“The Post ought to be ashamed of itself for publishing such incendiary nonsense, but, of course, that would require it to have some journalistic standards in the first place. If Jan. 6 was a coup attempt, it was the most inept, poorly planned and leaderless coup in human history; if Jan. 6 was not a coup attempt, these generals are irresponsible (at very least) to add fuel to the already brightly burning fire of the establishment’s hatred for Trump and his supporters.”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) The Jan. 6 “insurrection” hasn’t worked out quite the way the Democrats obviously hoped: Trump wasn’t convicted in his second Stalinist impeachment show trial, no one has actually been charged with orchestrating or participating in any “insurrection,” and the witch hunt to demonize and marginalize Trump and his supporters as “white supremacists” who pose an imminent threat to our “democracy” (it’s a republic, folks) has so far been a huge fizzle…. Continue reading

South African Govt. Panel: COVID Quarantines No Longer Needed

(OAN) A South African government panel said the Omicron variant is mild enough that there’s no need for further quarantines and contact tracing.

The Ministerial Advisory Committee of South Africa said the proportion of people who are immune to COVID-19 has risen dramatically, stating there’s no need for more restrictions. The panel additionally said COVID quarantines are no longer feasible from economic and social viewpoints. Continue reading

‘Biden Agenda Is Dead,’ ‘Watching His Presidency Crumble’

(Eric Mack – Newsmax) The stalling of the Build Back Better Act in the Senate is not only a signal President Joe Biden’s agenda “is dead,” according to economist Larry Kudlow, but he added “we are watching his presidency crumble.”

“The really good news is that the bill is dead, at least for now,” Kudlow told Sunday’s “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM-N.Y. “[The Democrats] will pick it up again, probably in February.” Continue reading

Mormon, Glenn Beck, Says Billy Graham Told Him He Was Christian, Removed Mormonism From Cult Status

“If Billy Graham truly loved Glenn Beck, he would not have allowed him to walk away believing that he thought he was a true Christian.”

(Reformation Charlotte) Glenn Beck was recently interviewed on the Michael Malice show where Malice asked Beck about his conversion to Mormonism. Malice asked him if there were any times where “hardcore Christians” ever confronted him about his Mormonism and him being in a cult. Beck then recounted a time where he was with Billy Graham and he was telling Malice about his conversion. Continue reading

Ron DeSantis Announces New Therapy for Floridians That Helps Prevent COVID Infection

Omicron “has shown to be able to infect vaccinated individuals, which poses a greater threat to those who don’t have a strong antibody response to vaccines or can’t get vaccinated.”

(Jennie Fink) Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has added another tool to Florida’s COVID-19 arsenal—a monoclonal antibody therapy that can prevent COVID-19 infection before a person is exposed, which the state has purchased. Continue reading
