Florida Mom Gets Standing Ovation for Condemning ‘Anti-Biblical’ CRT, Calling for ‘Mass Exodus’ from Public Schools

One prominent critic of Garland’s action is Asra Nomani, the vice president of investigations and strategy for Parents Defending Education. She argued the attorney general, whose son-in-law co-founded an education company that utilizes critical race theory, has “declared a war on parents.”

(Tré Goins-Phillips – Faithwire) A Florida mother received a standing ovation this week after she called for a “mass exodus” from the public school system, which she condemned for propping up “unbiblical” critical race theory. Continue reading

Did Jesus Come to Bring Peace or a Sword?

“If family members turn against God or have never turned to him, and we side with them to please them, we are siding against Jesus. The Lord gives grace, for there is nothing sweeter and more delightful than knowing Jesus. We are not to make our families an object of idolatry. Families are wonderful, but we are prepared to meet Jesus only if he is first in our hearts.”

(Thomas R. Schreiner – Equip) “I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law (Luke 12:49-53).”

The need for faithfulness and obedience as disciples (12:35–48) is followed by the purpose of Jesus’ mission. In saying that he has come to cast fire on the earth that he wishes were kindled now, Jesus certainly refers to judgment. In the OT fire often designates judgment. For instance, Jeremiah’s words are as fire that consumes the people (Jer. 5:14; 23:29; cf. Sir. 48:1). Continue reading

Providence and Contentment

Blaise Pascal, the famous French philosopher and mathematician, noted that human beings are creatures of profound paradox. We’re capable of both deep misery and tremendous grandeur, often at the same time. All we have to do is scan the headlines to see that this is the case. How often do celebrities who have done great good through philanthropy get caught up in scandals?

Human grandeur is found in part in our ability to contemplate ourselves, to reflect upon our origins, our destiny, and our place in the universe…. Continue reading

Beth Moore Says Abstaining From Gay Sex is a ‘Sacrifice’ For Gay Celibates

“Moore explains that homosexuals who choose not to practice their sin are actually “sacrificing” themselves for this cause.”

(Reformation Charlotte)  Beth Moore has said some of the most ludicrous things over the years, but until recently, nobody would have suspected that she had completely sold herself out to the LGBTQ agenda. The militant gay mafia would have everyone believe that homosexuality and other sexually deviant behaviors are normal and natural, and therefore, should be accepted and celebrated by everyone — including Christians. Continue reading

OSHA Vaccine Rule Is a Scam and It’s Working

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The $3.5 trillion ‘human infrastructure’ reconciliation bill contains a provision with fines against companies of up to $70,000 and $700,000 for each incident of an unvaccinated employee. Just the possibility has encouraged mass firings at private companies.

When asked by a reporter, White House press secretary Jen Psaki refused to give a timeline for when OSHA will release the new federal rule ordered by Joe Biden. Biden forewarned that the rule mandates companies with more than 100 employees to require Wuhan virus vaccinations. Continue reading

Francis Collins, NIH Director, Resigns After Gain-of-Function Falsehood Exposed

Just weeks before this announcement, Richard Ebright of Rutgers University accused Collins of making false public statements about National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) grants to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which have since been proven to fund the study of “chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses” which “could infect human cells.”

(Paul Bios – Breitbart)  Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), announced his resignation on Tuesday, just weeks after documents exposed that he made “untruthful” comments about U.S. federal funding of gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Biden Administration Caught Colluding to Silence America’s Parents. Mark Levin Has the Receipts

(Gwendolyn Sims – PJ Media)  “The federal government is using its power to silence and intimidate American citizens,” said conservative talk radio host and author Mark Levin, who released a bombshell letter on his program Thursday. “They’re trying to chill free speech.”

The letter, from the nonprofit organization America First Legal (AFL) to the United States Inspector General, claims, “In light of the Attorney General’s Memorandum of October 4, 2021, it appears the Department of Justice is committing the full weight of its federal law enforcement resources to prevent parents from exercising constitutionally-protected rights and privileges, for inappropriate partisan purposes.” Continue reading

Rand Paul’s Warning to Americans: ‘Be Afraid of Your Government’

“I think the problem is, it’s become so normalized to use government to search out and seek out your opponents,” Paul continued, before citing the abuse of FISA warrants to illegally spy on the Trump campaign as an example.

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media)  In the wake of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s announcement that he plans to sic the FBI on concerned parents who speak out at school board meetings against critical race theory and COVID restrictions, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) blasted the Biden administration and said Americans should “be afraid of your government.” Continue reading

What is Queer Theory and How Are Churches Embracing It Either Intentionally or Inadvertently

(Reformation Charlotte)  Queer theory is a phrase that is used to describe the secular study heteronormativity in society. Essentially, it is the LGBTQ version of Critical Race Theory. Queer theory, in fact, stems from the same foundation as other forms of Critical Theory and has its roots in Marxist thought.

Queer theory seeks to understand–from a secular perspective–why heterosexuality has been deemed by society as the “normal” and “moral” standard by which human sexuality is judged…. Continue reading

Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Open Borders,’ ‘Globalism,’ ‘Tribalism’ Are Reminiscent of Rome’s Collapse

“Hanson credited former President Barack Obama with advancing ethnic and racial agitation by socially commodifying artificial grievances. The 44th president regularly advanced neo-Marxist narratives in which the ideology’s paradigm of class struggle was reframed as a hierarchy of oppression based on continually changing left-wing parameters related to ethnicity, race, and sexual preference.”

(Robert Kraychik – Breitbart)  Victor Davis Hanson, historian, professor, and author of The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America, said on Wednesday that “open borders,” “globalism,” and “tribalism” are contributing to a collapse of the United States reminiscent of the fall of Rome.

Leaked Pfizer Executive Emails Confirm Aborted Fetal Tissue Used in COVID Vaccine Testing

 “We have been trying as much as possible not to mention the fetal cell lines,” providing an additional paragraph that was half in red, and half in yellow. The piece in yellow, Gelman said, “We have tried really hard not to share unless it’s strictly necessary and mission critical.”

(Neil Campbell – Vision Times) A new Pfizer whistleblower has come forward with copies of an email chain involving two high level company executives confirming that cell lines that derive from an aborted fetus have been used in the company’s COVID-19 vaccine testing program. Continue reading

Robert Morris’ Encounter With a Gender-less ‘Jezebel Spirit’

“Morris, like most charismatics, has latched on to this made up figure. The reason they do so, though, isn’t because they think it’s real. He knows it’s not. Charismatics preach about the “Jezebel Spirit” because it is an entity–other than themselves–that they can blame their sin on.” 

(Reformation Charlotte)  Robert Morris, the pastor of Gateway Church in Dallas, TX, is a woke, charismatic blowhard who is well-known for his false teachings on first fruits tithing and his propensity toward the prosperity gospel. Continue reading

Orange County sees lower coronavirus case rate than LA County despite not having mask mandate

Two counties have identical hospitalization rates per 100,000 people

(Emma Colton – Fox News)  Orange County, California, a non-mask mandate county, has a lower  coronavirus case rate than neighboring Los Angeles County, which enforces mask wearing, a new report found.

The number of coronavirus cases per 100,000 people sits at five in Orange County, while Los Angeles County has nine cases per 100,000 people, SFGate reported Monday…. Continue reading

EPIC: 427,000 Parents Respond to National School Board Association Labeling Them ‘Domestic Terrorists’

“It is appalling that [NSBA] would choose to threaten your fellow Americans for having the courage to hold you accountable for your failures. We will not be bullied….”

(Grendolyn Sims – PJ Media)  Last week, PJ Media covered the hysterical and threatening letter written by National School Boards Association (NSBA) president Viola Garcia. In the letter sent to none other than President Joe Biden, Garcia accused America’s concerned parents of threats, intimidation, and even “hate crimes” rising to the level of “domestic terrorism” for having the gall to speak up at their local school board meetings….

The Biden Justice Department’s lawless threat against American parents

(Andrew McCarthy – National Review) Even as President Biden shrugged his shoulders over progressives’ harassment and intimidation of a sitting United States senator of his own party — a crime under Arizona law — Biden’s Justice Department was running roughshod over the First Amendment, threatening to investigate and prosecute parents for protesting against school boards and teachers who insist on indoctrinating children with the cultural Marxism beloved by Democrats.

Undercover Video: Pfizer Scientists Say Natural Immunity Is Superior and Big Pharma is Suppressing Info for Money

The undercover journalist tells Croce that she has had her antibodies checked recently and she has “monster immunity.” Croce tells her his brother has the same result from natural infection. She asks him if she should get vaccinated. “Wait,” he advises. She then asks if her immunity is as good as the vaccine and Croce replies, “probably better.”

(Megan Fox – PJ Media)  James O’Keefe and Project Veritas has struck again and this time, it looks like undercover honey pots took some Pfizer nerds out for dinner and got them talking about stuff The Man doesn’t want you to know—specifically, that natural immunity is better than the COVID vaccine. Duh…. Continue reading

Pandemic of the Vaccinated? Real-world Data Says It Is, and It May Get Worse

Stating that “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Biden argued that those “80 million Americans who have failed to get the shot,” while being a “25 percent minority,” cause “a lot of damage.” It turns out, the president is yet again wrong.

( – The New American)  While the Biden administration and “liberal” states, cities, and businesses across the nation impose unconstitutional  draconian rules forcing people to receive experimental gene therapeutics, aka COVID vaccines, or lose a job or face other negative consequences in a bid to “eliminate COVID,” the vaccines appear to actually do little to protect one from getting COVID, spreading it to others, or even landing in a hospital. Continue reading

Bethel Music – Deceptive, Demonic, Unfruitful Works of Darkness

(Reformation Charlotte)  If you’ve followed Reformation Charlotte at all, you know we’ve covered the contemporary Christian music movement and have written about several of its mainstream figures, including Kari Jobe and Hillsong. It’s no secret we believe that the relentless promotion of much of this flesh-feeding ecstatic music does no good for the edification of the body of Christ. But perhaps one of the most deceitfully nefarious organizations that are pumping out poisonous exhaust is Bethel Music. Continue reading

Frightening future of chimera research tests moral, ethical boundaries of science

“In 2003, Chinese scientists fused human cells with rabbit eggs to produce the first human-animal hybrid. Several years later, Mayo Clinic researchers created pigs with human blood running through their veins, and University of Nevada scientists created sheep whose livers and hearts were largely human.”

(Denise George – The Alabama Baptist)  Earlier this year, Congress failed to pass a U.S. ban on chimera research, a form of experimentation few Americans know about but one that could test the moral and ethical boundaries of science. Continue reading

Our Woke National Icons

Milley, Fauci, and Biden are soulless men who reveal the bankruptcy of our ruling class.

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness)  As we watch events unfold in 2021, obvious questions about the fitness of our national leaders present themselves. Who are these new woke national icons and how did they come to lord it over the rest of us? Here are some observations by way of preliminary explanation. Continue reading

China to ban video games promoting ‘effeminate males,’ gay relationships

(Associated Press)  China will reportedly ban video games that don’t promote “correct values” and “accurate understanding” of the country’s history and culture, a leaked internal document shows.

That includes a ban on any portrayal of “effeminate males,” the promotion of same-sex relationships, and the showing of characters who have no “clear gender.”

The leaked document comes from a recent training session organized by China’s state-backed gaming association…. Continue reading

Be Willing to Submit to Our Good God on the Issue of Homosexuality

(Amy K. Hall – Stand to Reason)  I received an email from a college student who was struggling to figure out “if a Christ-centered, monogamous homosexual relationship is just as godly as a heterosexual one.” He had many questions. Is the Old Testament law about homosexuality really a law we still need to follow? Didn’t Jesus fulfill the law? Isn’t the Old Covenant obsolete? He had prayed, read books and blogs, and talked to numerous people on all sides of the issue, but he couldn’t resolve the conflicting messages he was getting from them. He said, “I know that this topic requires faith, but I need proof somehow.” Continue reading
