(Steven Lawson – Ligonier Ministries) Can you imagine a Christian couple actually praying about living together before marriage? Can you fathom a young woman who professes Christ even bothering to pray about whether she should marry an unbeliever? Can you grasp a Christian businessman having to pray about whether he should tell the truth in a transaction? When the Word of God is so clear, praying to discern God’s will becomes a convenient excuse—or even a prolonged filibuster—to avoid doing what Scripture commands. Continue reading

Why Christians should not celebrate Halloween
Halloween is a devil’s holiday, not a Christian observance.
(Nila Eslit) Anton LaVey, the founder of the church of Satan, himself declared that by dressing up, either by wearing a costume or by coloring oneself in celebration of Halloween, signifies that you allow Satan to own you. He further said that when you adopt the pagan practices, you subconsciously dedicate yourself to the devil. He took joy in Christians who take part in the tradition, saying: Continue reading
Democrats Pose an Existential Threat to the Church, Being Civil is No Longer an Option
“The Southern Baptist Convention and the Presbyterian Church (PCA)–are crumbling under the pressures of this godless ideology perpetrated by the secular worldview of the Democrat party and its religious cohorts like Russell Moore and Tim Keller. Yet, repeatedly, they’re the ones calling on us to engage in a “civil” manner.”
(Reformation Charlotte) While progressivism and liberalism have always been opposed to godliness and a biblical worldview, recent events have exposed the Democrat party and ideological progressives as not only opposed to the Church but opposed to humanity altogether. In fact, the Democrat party poses an existential threat to the Church and to anyone who holds to a conservative, biblical worldview. Continue reading
Now We Know Who Was Behind the Tiki-Torch White Supremacist Stunt in Va.
A group of supposed Republicans who are fiercely anti-Trump sent five people posing as white supremacists with tiki torches to a campaign stop in Charlotte in an attempt to link GOP candidate Glenn Youngkin to “racist” Donald Trump. The stunt bombed big time. Matt Margolis of PJ Media has the story:
Update: 7:56 p.m.: The Lincoln Project is taking credit for the botched stunt.
Lauren Windsor, a communications consultant and Executive Director of American Family Voices (a DC progressive pressure group), is also bragging about her role in the desperate shenanigan: Continue reading

Texas Gov. Abbott: We’re Securing Our Border Since Biden Won’t
(Sandy Fitzgerald – Newsmax) Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday outlined all the steps his state is taking to secure the border it shares with Mexico, telling Newsmax that more than $3 billion of the state taxpayers’ money has been appropriated so the state can meet obligations that the federal government and the Biden administration won’t.
“Listen, we have to do it,” the Republican governor told Eric Bolling, the host of Newsmax’s “Eric Bolling The Balance.” “We have to secure our border while the federal government twiddles its thumbs.” Continue reading
Joe Biden’s Insane Plan to PAY $1 Billion to Illegal Aliens Separated by Trump’s Border Policy
“The Biden Administration is discussing a settlement fund the likes of which we haven’t seen since the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund…”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) It isn’t bad enough that Joe Biden opened the U.S. southern border to all manner of criminals, cartels, coyotes, terrorists, and garden variety illegal aliens; now he’s devising an insane plan to pay a small fortune to the would-be border crashers kept out of the country by his predecessor, Donald Trump. Continue reading
Liars who lie for the ‘common good’
“In some of these cases, when caught and exposed, the liars will hedge by claiming temporary amnesia….sometimes they admit they lied but suggest they did so for higher purposes like national security.”
(Victor Davis Hanson, The Ignoble Lie) In a controversial passage in Plato’s Republic, Socrates introduced the idea of the “noble lie” (“gennaios pseudos”).
A majestic fiction, he says, could sometimes serve society by persuading uninformed citizens of something good for them. Continue reading
Vatican Cancels Live Broadcast of Biden Greeting Pope
“The Vatican said it would provide edited footage of the encounter after the fact to accredited media.”
(Breitbart) The Vatican on Thursday abruptly canceled the planned live broadcast of U.S. President Joe Biden meeting Pope Francis, the latest restriction to media coverage of the Holy See.
The Vatican press office provided no explanation for why the live broadcast of Biden’s visit had been trimmed to cover just the arrival of the president’s motorcade in the courtyard of the Apostolic Palace, where a Vatican monsignor will greet him. Continue reading
The Gospel Coalition Wants Effeminate Men
(Evangelical Dark Web) It’s no secret that The Gospel Coalition is one of the worst publications that claims to be Christian media. They are weak on just about every hot issue going on in the church whether it be Critical Race Theory, Revoice, or Branch Covidianism. Around the globe, The Gospel Coalition acts as state propaganda to the church. A recent article titled “Men, Are You Submissive?” is aimed at making men docile in the face of growing government tyranny and ecclesiastical abuse. It is written by Michael Kruger, a Reformed Theological Seminary professor.
Cheap Antidepressant Shows Promise Treating Early COVID
(Newsmax) A cheap antidepressant reduced the need for hospitalization among high-risk adults with COVID-19 in a study hunting for existing drugs that could be repurposed to treat coronavirus.
Researchers tested the pill used for depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder because it was known to reduce inflammation and looked promising in smaller studies.
They’ve shared the results with the U.S. National Institutes of Health, which publishes treatment guidelines, and they hope for a World Health Organization recommendation. Continue reading
‘If Satan wrote an article about the Bible, it would look just like this.’
(John Knox – Not the Bee) Relevant Magazine, now apparently run by the devil himself, says we’ve made the Bible into an “idol”: [See the tweet on the site]
The Bible says it, I believe it, and that settles it.
You’ve heard that phrase before. You’ve read it on bumper stickers. You may have even said it a time or two. It’s an odd little religious mantra that perfectly captures the strange, often paradoxical relationship we modern Christians have with our mysterious ancient text, Continue reading
Buried 6 Hours Into FDA Video: Doctor Makes Chilling Admission on Child COVID Vax
“It just seemed to me that in some ways we’re vaccinating children to protect the adults when it should be the other way around. If 30 million children already have some form of immunity, they’ve made their contribution to herd immunity already and our focus should be to get the adults vaccinated to protect the children.”
(Abby Liebing – Western Journal) The committee voted 17 to 0, with one abstention, in favor of recommending emergency use of the vaccine in young children. The final decision will be made by FDA leaders, most likely in the next few days, NBC News reported. Continue reading

Los Angeles Psychiatrist Says COVID Policies Are ‘Not About Health,’ They’re About Authoritarian Control
“We put you all in prison, and now we’re going to give you a key to get out. We want you to bow down, and kiss our feet, and thank us for releasing us from the prison that you’ve been in for so long, you forgot we actually jailed you into it.”
(Debra Heine – American Greatness) A Los Angeles based psychiatrist has come forward to denounce global COVID policies like lockdowns, masking, and vaccine mandates, arguing that these policies are not about health, but about control, and the endgame is a Chinese style authoritarian government. Continue reading
Tim Keller’s Redeemer Church is Segregating Unvaccinated People to Separate Floor for Worship
“That such a notion could even be fathomable in mainstream American Evangelical churches is horrifying. We would expect this out of the mainline liberal apostate denominations. And while Keller, himself, is certainly a dangerous false teacher not worth following, he is considered mainstream within a (somewhat) conservative denomination.”
(Reformation Charlotte) Reformation Charlotte has published many stories about churches and highly popular parachurch ministries throwing their support behind vaccine mandates and churches even going out of their way to impose these mandates upon their congregations as a requirement for corporate worship….

Meet Ray Epps: The Fed-Protected Provocateur Who Appears To Have Led The Very First 1/6 Attack On The U.S. Capitol
“After months of research, Revolver’s investigative reporting team can now reveal that Ray Epps appears to be among the primary orchestrators of the very first breach of the Capitol’s police barricades at 12:50pm on January 6. Epps appears to have led the “breach team” that committed the very first illegal acts on that fateful day.”
(Revolver) In a House hearing on Thursday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) questioned AG Merrick Garland about a mysterious man, Ray Epps, instructing protesters to enter the US Capitol building on January 5, and who later shepherded crowds towards the Capitol on January 6.
The story of the mystery man, Ray Epps, featured in Rep. Massie’s video [on the site] is in fact far more shocking than even the good Congressman implies in the hearing…. Continue reading
Trans Tyranny: The Real 1 Percent — That Runs EVERYTHING
“You know, the way that you can tell who holds all the power in a society is by who you can’t make fun of, right?”
(Selwyn Duke – The New American) “Rule No. 1: Don’t Challenge Trans Orthodoxy.” So read the chyron on the screen Thursday evening, when Fox News host Tucker Carlson pointed out that it used to be “a feature of high school biology class that biological sex is biologically real.” Continue reading
Parents Slam Obama Over ‘Fake Outrage’ Claims at Rally
“Parents quickly slammed Obama’s disconnected remarks.”

Steven Furtick and Other Heretics Win ‘Christian Music’ Dove Awards for 2021
“The commercialized Christian music industry not only enables this idolatry but promotes it to the degree that God’s glory is robbed from Him at many levels, including in churches. The vast majority of Christian contemporary music is produced by celebrity artists who’ve compromised on biblical truths in order to serve their own selfish desires.”
(Reformation Charlotte) As if the celebrity Christian lifestyle alone wasn’t enough to cause most Bible-believing Christians to [become sick at their stomachs], the fact that almost all of them are rank heretics should leave us with no other choice…. Continue reading
Dr. Michael Brown Blasts Critics Who Call False Teachers ‘Loons and Hucksters’
(Protestia) During the October 20 Line of Fire, Jim Osman (author of God Doesn’t Whisper) called into Michael Brown’s show and criticized him for platforming the worst of the worst of charismatic ne’er do wells, telling him, “I would say that you have given a lot of shade, in fact, shade to some of the worst and most egregious charismatics, charlatans, false prophets, and hucksters that the charismatic movement has turned up in recent years, including Sid Roth and Benny Hinn and others just like it.” Continue reading
Treasury Sec: Americans Will Suffer Under Biden’s Historic Inflation for at Least 14 More Months
“The White House has no interest in solving inflation, the border, or rising gas prices. But plenty of time for a 42-page “National Gender Strategy” with an “intersectional” focus on climate change.”
(Jack Davis – Western Journal) Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says inflation is not leaving any time soon.
Yellen, who was interviewed on the CNN show “State of the Union” which aired Sunday, dismissed existing supply chain issues as “temporary pains that result from a COVID economy and getting beyond it.” Continue reading
Facebook Suppressed Breitbart News Traffic by Twenty Percent
“Despite Mark Zuckerberg’s arguably pivotal efforts to put Joe Biden in the White House, Facebook’s token tolerance of some conservative publishers is considered intolerable by some employees, no matter how popular those publishers are with users.”
(Allum Bokhari – Breitbart) The Wall Street Journal has published internal material from anonymous sources at Facebook revealing that the company introduced tools that suppressed the traffic of Breitbart News by 20 percent, and other conservative publishers by double-digit margins. Continue reading
