“America was founded by those who lost trust in their mother country. Our Constitution was unique in that it mistrusted the very institutions of governing, with checks and balances codified for the citizens’ protection. It would be wonderful if we could trust the people we charge with our care, but experience reminds us that we can’t. The Bible reminds us that we are all sinners, all of us fallen, the only trust being through Christ.”
(Keith Jackson – American Thinker) The controversy around the use of ivermectin and, previously, hydroxychloroquine joins a long list of things where the left’s pursuit of the “Noble Lie” is judged more important than honest debate. This particular piece of dishonesty claims that vaccinations, masking, and social distancing alone will eradicate COVID-19, and all other “side hustles” like these inexpensive medications are mockable, “snake oil” obfuscations….

“The Hunter Biden laptop story was never unsubstantiated. Fake stories about Donald Trump were allowed to spread like wildfire on social media, yet, Twitter took it upon itself to shield the public from this damaging story that could hurt Joe Biden’s campaign. Despite all the evidence that has been leaked since then—the photos, videos, chat transcripts, etc.—the New York Times still tried to dismiss the laptop story as bunk.” 
(Jordan Standridge – The Cripplegate) Over the years I’ve seen that one of the most powerful moments in a new believer’s life is the realization that there is such a thing as a false convert. The sudden realization that salvation is not dependent on a prayer, a baptism or family history propels true believers to a whole other dimension in their walk with Christ. They begin to examine themselves properly (
(Elizabeth Piper – Reuters) British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will set out on Tuesday his plans to manage the COVID-19 pandemic in the winter months, announcing a decision to scrap the introduction of 
“Almost 600 people have been arrested for entering the Capitol, including a 69-year-old woman who walked in as a Capitol police officer held the door for her. Photographic evidence from inside the Capitol shows “insurrectionist” Lois McNicoll seditiously snapping selfies.”
“I’m more concerned about internal threats. What really is tearing our country apart and threatening our democracy is what we saw on Jan 6.” – Hillary Clinton
“It’s not a culture war, not anymore. There is no common civic ground on which liberals and conservatives meet and hash things out…The debates are over now. The Woke brigades won’t battle your ideas. The marketplace of ideas offends them—you offend them. Now, they have the power of termination…[T]he Revolution is here and you’re in it…They follow the motto of that brilliant manager of men, Joseph Stalin, who reasoned quite soundly: ‘No man, no problem.’
(Protestia) A new Barna survey has been released showing that the Christian church continues to get more and more compromised, showing deep drops from even 5 years ago.
(Charlie Spiering – Breitbart) Former President George W. Bush appeared to use his speech recognizing the 20th anniversary of 9/11 to compare the January 6th protests to the terrorists who attacked America.
‘Why should anyone get vaccinated if they have immunity from a prior Covid infection?’ Fauci — ‘I don’t have a really firm answer for you on that’
Need to read articles you may have missed this week…
What you’re about to witness is Pastor Timothy Keller promoting syncretism in urban churches. What exactly is syncretism? For more than a decade I’ve warned about syncretism in the Church. In a recent article (below) I wrote the following: “Syncretism in Evangelicalism started happening when elements of various religious beliefs were integrated into mainline denominations. As syncretism spreads, creeds, confessions and doctrine get tossed aside resulting in a fundamental change of beliefs. When Truth declines, false teaching flourishes. The wily serpent uses syncretism to separate God from His people.”

(Breitbart) President Joe Biden on Thursday is announcing sweeping new federal vaccine requirements affecting as many as 100 million Americans in an all-out effort to increase COVID-19 vaccinations and curb the surging delta variant that is killing thousands each week and jeopardizing the nation’s economic recovery.
“A life that seems to have no interest in Christ and his church nor pays any heed to his commands is not a living, active faith promoted from within by the Holy Spirit. It is a non-existent faith. It is belief that some words you said years ago is good enough to deal with your sin once and for all and to secure a place in Heaven for you. I’m afraid that isn’t a teaching you will find anywhere in the Bible….”
“It is unclear whether now-President Biden has continued the use of non-government email for official business and whether he has continued to provide government information to his family members, including Hunter Biden.”
“When those problems exploded, they reacted by citing climate change or some other bogeyman as the culprit rather than government dereliction. They preferred utopian high-speed rail solutions to pragmatic problem solving. And they ensured that none of their crackpot ideas ever affected themselves.”
Despite the hype in the hours, days, and weeks after the Capitol melee, not a single January 6 defendant has been charged with sedition. Turns out, there is #Sedition and then there’s the real thing.
“Biblically and historically, a worship service is where God’s people respond corporately to what God has revealed about Himself. Yes, this response ought to be heartfelt, sincere, meaningful and unfeigned. In charismatic worship theology, one is not so much in pursuit of a response, as one is in pursuit of an experience: an experience of the presence of God that is intense, sensorily tangible, and emotionally or physically ecstatic.”

“It doesn’t matter what Jen Psaki, the minister of propaganda, or the corrupt corporate media puts forth. The truth is that only a heroic action in the future by the President could mitigate this colossal screwup. Place your bets now if you think old Joe will deliver heroism.”
“California has reported the highest number of the latest variant with 384. A total of 167 of those cases were found in Los Angeles County.”
