‘That’s Not Enough for You?!’ Trump Attorney Goes Apoplectic on ‘Slanted Media’ With Clueless CBS Interviewer

“It’s not OK to doctor a ‘little bit’ of evidence. Respectfully, ma’am your question is turned. The media has to start telling the right story in this country. The media is trying to divide this country. You are bloodthirsty for ratings, and as such you are asking questions now that are already set up with a fact pattern. I can’t believe you would ask me a question indicating that it is alright to doctor just a little bit of evidence… We won this case.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media)  God bless him. Trump impeachment Part Deux attorney Michael T. van der Veen is just the latest civilian to walk into Trump World and walk out shaking his head, mouth agape, with fire coming out of his ears at his and his client’s treatment by the Democrats in the media.

Max Lucado Apologizes to LGBTQ For Preaching Against Homosexuality, Harming Them

Yesterday, Max Lucado issued a letter of apology to the homosexual community where he asked for forgiveness for his words which he says “have hurt or been used to hurt the LGBTQ community.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  Max Lucado was invited to speak at the Washington National Cathedral — an apostate Episcopalian Church in Washington D.C. — two weeks ago where he preached a sermon comparing the Holy Spirit to a woman and calling Him the “mother heart of God.” Continue reading

Stop Defending the Indefensible: A Plea Concerning Ravi Zacharias

“The broader evangelical world defends those who are not fit for ministry knowingly, excusing away the fact that they can’t meet the basic requirements of the pastorate. Time and again, they defend such men rather than stand with the Scripture’s assessment, which finds them utterly lacking.” 

(Grayson Gilbert – Patheos) I wrote a post not too long ago that caused a firestorm of controversy on social media, calling on Christians to look at the life of Ravi Zacharias as a profound warning. In it, my basic plea to people was that they consider their own ways before the Lord—that they see if there were patterns of besetting sin that would not only disqualify pastors from the pastorate, but even if the everyday layman was plagued with sins, which the apostle Paul would say that such a practice of these things would bar them from inheriting the Kingdom of God….

CDC Exposed: Inflated Covid Deaths By 1600% Throughout The Election, ‘Violated Multiple Federal Laws’ Peer-Reviewed Study Finds

(Patty McMurray – Gateway Pundit)  100 Percent Fed Up reports – Throughout the election, Donald Trump was battered by CCP Virus statistics in order to hurt the American economy and his political campaign. We know that it was shamelessly wielded as a political weapon to prevent President Trump and his supporters from rallying as Antifa and Black Lives Matter burned progressive poor and minority neighborhoods to the ground throughout the entire year.  Now that Biden has been installed into the office of president, he promises to increase Covid lockdown measures and extend them further into your ability to travel and force unscientific mask-wearing for at least 100 days. Continue reading

5 Must-Watch Moments From Team Trump’s Impeachment Defense

“Schoen noted that the Democrats built their case against Trump on news reports and anonymous sources rather than an independent investigation. This impeachment made a mockery of due process in the name of speed — and then Democrats delayed the trial for political reasons.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) On Friday, former President Donald Trump’s impeachment defense lawyers made their case for the Senate to acquit the former president of “incitement of insurrection” regarding the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot…. Continue reading

If Men Are Women, Then Truth, Science & Sanity are Gone

“It should be alarming to us that 74% of young adults down to 12 years old at least somewhat agree with the notion that what is “morally right and wrong changes over time, based on society.” Not based on any fixed laws or truth, but on society.”

(David Fiorazo)  If men are women, then truth, science, and sanity are history.

A new study reveals 74% of generation Z embrace moral relativism. And Twitter censors another Christian organization for referring to a biological male as… a male. Wait. There just might be a connection here between moral relativism and transgenderism. Continue reading

The Report is Out! Ravi Zacharias Was Sexting Up Until His Death Plus Decades of Sexual Abuse

“It’s completely abhorrent. With the news that Ravi was still soliciting pictures at least three months before his death at the age of 74, we ought to treat this serial predator as a false teacher who came to devour. In his death and in this discovery, it goes to show how wolfish false teachers can be and how well they can hide, saying the right things while doing the wrong things – singing praises to God and preaching a public gospel while engaging in deviltry in the dark.”

(Protestia) Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) has released the much-anticipated report investigating allegations of sexual deviancy against the late Christian Apologist Ravi Zacharias, and the results are devastating. Continue reading

Cuomo Aide Admits Governor Covered Up COVID-19 Nursing Home Deaths Data

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) A top aide to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo “privately apologized to state Democratic leaders for withholding the state’s nursing-home death toll from COVID-19,” reports the New York Post. Melissa DeRosa, secretary to the governor, told them “‘we froze’ out of fear the true numbers would ‘be used against us’ by federal prosecutors.”

Last month the New York attorney general’s office released a report saying that New York’s nursing home death count from COVID-19 was undercounted by as much as 50 percent…. Continue reading

China is collecting the world’s DNA and the reason is sinister: Gordon Chang

“People have said biological weapons don’t work. Well, we do know they work because we had the coronavirus, which may or may not have been a biological weapon, but we do know that it crippled the United States and that’s what Beijing is really looking for.”

(Teny Sahakian – Fox News)  The Peoples Republic of China (PRC) has been collecting people’s DNA for years, and according to Gordon Chang, author of ‘The Coming Collapse of China,’ the country’s sinister motivations should be of great concern to the United States. Continue reading

The World Goes On While America Sleeps

“Our allies like democratic France warn America that it is cannibalizing itself—and becoming dangerous to others. Our enemies like the totalitarian Chinese are delighted with our suicidal wokeness.”  

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness)  The Democratically-controlled Senate spends thousands of collective hours conducting an impeachment trial against a president who is no longer president.

The acquittal is predetermined, as in the first impeachment effort a year ago—and known to be so to the Democratic prosecutors. Continue reading

Hillsong Being Sued for Stealing Electronic Equipment and Over 100K in Unpaid Rent

“Hillsong has hosted Roman Catholic masses, has put on literal circus performances, held sleazy Christmas performances  and paraded scantily clad women across the stage, and featured a “naked cowboy” at a women’s conference followed by a “naked Santa” at another conference.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Hillsong Church is by far the most scandalous organization that his claimed the name of Christ in modern history. Over the last few years, Hillsong has been plagued by a number of sex scandals including, most recently, the lead pastor of the NYC branch being fired for having an adulterous affair with an Islamic woman. Continue reading

Enneagram to be promoted in Covenant Theological Seminary?

“You see, the Enneagram is the very antithesis of the Gospel. With the Enneagram, man is glorified; with the Gospel, God is glorified,” writes Lois Putnam, author of The Enneagram–An Enlightening Tool or an Enticing Deception?

The Enneagram is not a fad, and it is not going away. And it is proving to be, as Putnam states, “an enticing deception” for a growing number of Christians. It doesn’t help that high profile members of the visible church such as Louie Gigglio, Dave Ramsey, Dr. Russell Moore, The Bible Project founders Tim Mackie and Jon Collins,  Mark Batterson, Amy Grant, former Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson Huff and others are advocates. Continue reading

What Happened to Officer Brian Sicknick?

National Review claimed, without evidence, that Sicknick was “murdered.” The president and his allies in the Senate, pundits raged, were accomplices. “When he told followers to ‘STAND UP,’ they listened and murdered a cop while storming the Capitol,” one Washington Examiner writer tweeted about the role of Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.). “Make him pay.”

(Julie Kelly – American Greatness)  The claim is so pervasive as not to be questioned: Five people died as a result of the January 6 “insurrection” at the Capitol building, killed by blood-thirsty Trump voters at the president’s behest, out for revenge over a stolen election. Continue reading

Ravi Zacharias Victim Posts Victim Impact Statement

(Protestia)  Lori Anne Thompson, the most well-known and public of Ravi Zacharias’ victims has posted a detailed victim impact statement on her website, detailing the ways that the late-Christian apologist’s sexual predations destroyed her world and adversely affected her and her family for years. It also details the emotional toll that having Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) repeatedly publicly lie about her has had, even as they publicly insist they’ve committed no wrongdoing.

How Many Americans Has the American Medical Establishment Killed?

If doctors who advocate for the use of these safe drugs are wrong, what price would we have paid? Essentially none. But what if Dr. Anthony Fauci, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, The New York Times, CNN, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health and the poor souls who trust them are wrong? The price we have paid is hundreds of thousands of dead Americans, and quite possibly more than that.

(Dennis Prager)  I should state at the outset that were it not for doctors, I would either be paralyzed or dead. I owe my mobility and probably my life to wonderful physicians.

However, I will now state with equal certitude that the American medical profession as a whole and many individual doctors are responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans — very possibly, more than that. Continue reading

When the White House Can’t Handle the Truth

At the next day’s briefing…a reporter asked press secretary Psaki: “Yesterday the head of the CDC, as you know, said that it was safe to reopen schools without vaccinating teachers. You said that the White House was still…waiting for the official guidance before making a final determination. Why isn’t what the director of the CDC says — why isn’t that enough?”  

(Byron York – Townhall)  On Jan. 21, President Biden’s first full day in office, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki began her briefing with this: “When the president asked me to serve in this role, we talked about the importance of bringing truth and transparency back to the briefing room.”…. Continue reading

Max Lucado Compares Holy Spirit to Woman, Calls Him ‘Mother-Heart of God’

Before we get to Reformation Charlotte’s piece on popular pastor Max Lucado, we need to give you fair warning to flee from this man. Lucado’s lack of spiritual discernment is stunning. As you will see, he has given credence to egregious false teachers, which is bad enough, but now he tells his audience that the Holy Spirit is “the mother-heart of God” which not only sounds strikingly like the teachings found in New Age spirituality, it is decidedly unbiblical.

Now to Jeff Maples’ piece over at RC:

Max Lucado, author and pastor who, in recent years, has taken a sharp turn to the left in embracing not only the woke social justice movement but taking a soft stance on homosexuality, has now taken an even sharper turn away from biblical orthodoxy by comparing the Holy Spirit to a mother….

The Betrayal of the American People by Biden and the Ruling Oligarchy

(Steve McCann – American Thinker)  The Biden Administration is willfully and permanently undermining the economy and the future well-being of the citizenry as well as trampling on the Constitution with an unprecedented avalanche of executive orders, proposed legislation and untenable regulations.  The current leader of the United States, safe in his plush bunker, is without a clue as he and his confederates in the ruling oligarchy are more interested in consolidating power and enriching themselves than they are in the long-term welfare of the nation and its citizenry. Continue reading

Reaping the Woke Church We Have Sown

“The culture now has proposed a list of demands that are not presented as options for the church. The world’s project has invaded the church and the message is clear: You will bow down at the altar of our newly defined norms or you will not be welcome anymore as a church in this nation. That’s right around the corner, if not already here.”

(Chris Gordon – The Aquila Report)  The church in America is embarrassed by its own identity. We’ve tried really hard, for a long time, to make ourselves cool, relatable, down to earth, funny, casual, and experts on all the social issues of the day assuming these things will reach people for Jesus…. Continue reading

As Trump impeachment trial starts, the Biden Democrat agenda crashes into reality

(John Solomon – Just the News)  A month ago, Team Biden and its Democrat allies in Congress had a heady plan to appease their liberal base.

Impeach Donald Trump a second time, alleging he incited the Capitol riots. Blast out COVID-19 vaccines, and pass another stimulus. Impose climate policies. And raise the minimum wage nationally to $15 an hour.

Just a few short weeks into Joe Biden’s presidency, those liberal ambitions have crashed into stark economic and political realities as Trump’s trial readies to open Tuesday in the Senate. Continue reading

Mike Lindell’s Film ‘Absolute Proof’ Film Was Seen by Over 10 Million People – Five Million Completed the Film

(Jim Hoft – The Gateway Pundit) Steve Bannon interviewed Mike Lindell on The War Room on Saturday.  The two discussed Lindell’s release of the online movie ‘Absolute Proof’ on Friday.

According to Lindell the reaction to ‘Absolute Truth’ was remarkable.  On its first day, the movie was watched in its entirety by 5 million people according to Lindell and the data coming from his website.  He says over 10 million people saw his video. Continue reading

False Prophets: Masters Of Disguise (Fooled you?)

“Faithful followers of Christ must examine their pastors, television and radio broadcasters, and authors of the books that they read. Do they reveal good fruit or bad fruit?”

(Tom Hill – Reformation Charlotte)  You’ve seen them. They appear everywhere promoting the latest health solution, money-making plan, or the “newest scoop” on popular people, complete with anonymous sources. These flim flam artists fool multitudes of gullible folks every day.

Which one just caught you? The one on television with the hot air cooker? The one at the mall with the sharpest knives that cut the toughest foods like a hot knife through warm butter? Or the one that guaranteed retirement income that will last a lifetime, without any risk? Continue reading

Democrats’ Climate Agenda Will Mimic Their COVID Tyranny

“We’ve seen how many businesses the left can destroy in the name of controlling a virus; imagine the destruction it can wreak if it controls America’s energy policy.”

(Trevor Thomas – American Thinker)  If you’ve enjoyed the last 10 months of foolish, science-denying lockdowns and mask mandates, the widespread destruction of businesses and economies, and the government telling you what jobs are “essential” and how you are to conduct yourself in your own home, then you must absolutely love the Democrats’ climate agenda. Continue reading

Growing evidence Capitol attack was pre-planned undercuts Trump impeachment premise

(John Solomon – Just the News)  Days before former President Trump’s impeachment trial begins, newly filed federal charges against anti-government activists offer fresh, compelling evidence that the accused perpetrators of the Capitol riots pre-planned their attack days and weeks in advance and in plain sight of an FBI that vowed to be vigilant to extremist threats.

A dozen FBI affidavits supporting charges against the more than 200 defendants show rioters engaged in advance planning on social media sites. The planning included training, casing sites, identifying commanders on scene, and requests for donations of cash, as well as combat and communication gear. Continue reading
