When God’s people are being persecuted, God is also being persecuted

But you, O Sovereign LORD, deal well with me for your name’s sake; out of the goodness of your love, deliver me (Psalm 109:21).
Here is a man who is under attack from rather unscrupulous persons. Those who attack him so bitterly are obviously not to be trusted. They are deceitful, he says. They are wicked. In other words, they are determined upon evil, and they are thoroughly unscrupulous; they do not care what they say or what they do. With lying tongues they are out to destroy.

The End of Covid Hysteria

“Most want what Trump has wanted since April, is to open America up. Fully. There has been serious push-back in the scientific community on the Democrat position of cowering in place.  Yes, that’s what it is.  That’s what they want.  Do you see people walking alone outside with a mask on?  Or riding bikes masked?  Or those who drive masked in their car by themselves?  Yes, those are the ones who have succumbed to the Democrat/media hysteria.”

(David Prentice – American Thinker)  Most of the nation was stunned by the news that Donald and Melania Trump had contracted COVID.  I found out early morning the night after it was announced…. Continue reading

Wait, What?! Pro-Life ‘Conservatives’ Voting for Biden?

“If you believe God’s Word but when it comes to voting, you go against what the Bible teaches, you are in contradiction which causes internal stress. A person claims to be one thing but acts like the opposite.”

(David Fiorazo)  Something doesn’t add up. With all that we know about how extreme and radical Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are, please help me understand the rationale behind those who claim to be Christian, conservative or pro-life and can vote for the Democrat Party anymore. Continue reading

Petty Tyrant Gavin Newsom Continues to Ruin Lives, Says Amusement Parks Won’t Reopen Soon

“As has been pointed out by many, this is devastating not only to the employees of the amusement parks, but to the communities surrounding them that rely on the tourism money. This is especially so in Anaheim, which is for all intents and purposes a Disney company town. Newsom may succeed in crippling it for a very long time, if he hasn’t already.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) The battle for worst governor in America is — and has been for a while — a three-horse race between California’s Gavin Newsom, Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer, and New York’s Andrew Cuomo. While Whitmer and Cuomo were more efficient at killing their own citizens in the early days of the pandemic, Newsom is establishing that he is a far more ruthless slayer of livelihoods.

Survey Shows Many Professing Christians Being Shaped by Culture Rather Than Biblical Truth

Pentecostals and charismatics were likewise concerning, as “[t]wo-thirds (69%) reject absolute moral truth; 54% are unwilling to define human life as sacred, with half claiming the Bible is ambiguous in its teaching about abortion, and 69% say they prefer socialism to capitalism.” Further, the Center notes, “[a] full 45% did not meet the definition of born-again Christians.”

(Heather Clark – Christian News)  The 11th installment of the “American Worldview” survey conducted by Dr. George Barna and the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University has found that many professing Christians are being shaped by the culture instead of biblical truth. Continue reading

Beth Moore Denies Original Sin, Says We are Born Seeking Things of God

“Beth Moore has a multitude of heresies on her laundry list and they continue to stack up.” 

 

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  The Bible does not allow women to function in the role of pastor or preacher — and for good reason. Women are not permitted to be pastors or hold a role of authority over men in the Church. The bible is crystal clear on this issue. Continue reading

Here’s How We Know Pence Won the Debate

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media)  After President Trump’s first debate with Joe Biden, the liberal media came rushing to Biden’s defense, calling for him not to attend the following two presidential debates. It was undeniable proof that they lacked confidence in Biden’s ability to go toe to toe with President Trump, and a stunning admission of who they really believe won that debate.

On Wednesday evening, Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris faced off in their first and only vice presidential debate of the campaign, and once again, the liberal media told us who won the debate without actually admitting it…. Continue reading

Netflix has been indicted in Texas on child pornography charges for promoting ‘Cuties’

“There has been fear among those who work to rescue sex trafficked children that “Cuties” depicts the grooming behavior consistent with child predation.”

(Peter Heck – Disrn)  Netflix, after facing intense public backlash for airing the provocative film “Cuties,” which many saw as sexualizing children, is now facing criminal charges in the state of Texas.

Rep. Matt Schaefer (R-TX) made public a grand jury indictment that has been filed in Tyler County, alleging Netflix is guilty of promoting “lewd visual material depicting a child.” Continue reading

Pope Francis goes full communist

“These actions reflect Francis’s Catholic upbringing within the communist “liberation theology” of the Latin American church.”

(Andrea Widburg – World Israel News) In an encyclical published on Sunday, Pope Francis announced that he’d had an epiphany thanks to the Wuhan virus: it’s time to ditch capitalism. But that’s not all. He believes, too, that in a time of a serious infectious disease, we should focus even harder on open borders. And he blithely upended almost two millennia of Church doctrine by doing away with St. Augustine’s “just war” theory. Continue reading

The Cult of Covidism Has Invaded the Church

“No one should be surprised that violence arises when the institution that is called to be the spiritual guide of the nation becomes paralyzed.  When the Church’s most holy practices are surrendered to the whims of Covidism, it is clear the Church no longer believes in its reasons for being the Church — hence the ease with which the Church is being overcome.” 

(Fay Voshell – American Thinker)  What should have been a purely scientific response aimed at control and cure of a disease quickly evolved into the political-religious cult of Covidism.  Objective scientific analysis of and responses to what is the contagious pathogen COVID-19 were almost immediately suffocated by a plethora of arbitrary pseudo-religious rituals. Continue reading

Caught Red Handed: Brennan’s Handwritten Notes Prove Obama Was Briefed on Scheme to Set Up Trump

“In late July 2016, U.S. intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis alleging that U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the Democratic National Committee….”

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall)  Newly declassified documents show former CIA Director John Brennan took notes after briefing President Barack Obama on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s plans to frame then presidential candidate Donald Trump as a Russian asset. The briefing took place during the 2016 presidential election. Continue reading

Justice Clarence Thomas suggests Supreme Court should overturn same-sex marriage in scathing attack

(Alex Herderson – Salon)  Obergefell v. Hodges was the landmark 2015 ruling in which the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states. Two of the dissenters in that ruling were Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito — and now, Thomas and Alito are calling for that decision to be overturned. This comes at a time when there is a very real possibility that Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a far-right social conservative nominated by President Donald Trump, will be replacing the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Continue reading

Pushing Back the Indoctrination

“The Trump administration has also banned the teaching of Critical Race Theory in federal agencies and the military. Popularized by late leftist academic Derrick Bell, Critical Race Theory employs Marxist class theory, substituting race for economics. All whites are racists, America is irretrievably racist, and denial of being a racist or failing to confess “white privilege” is proof of racism.  Sounds a lot like Princeton, or so we’re told.”

(Robert Knight – Townhall) From the president on down, we’re seeing a welcome pushback against Marxist indoctrination in our colleges, government agencies, and even the military. Continue reading

DOJ Blasts D.C. Mayor for ‘Silencing’ Churches: ‘There Is No Pandemic Exception to the Constitution’

(Paula Bolyard – PJ Media)  The Department of Justice on Friday announced it had filed a statement of interest in the case filed by Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., against the District of Columbia and Mayor Muriel Bowser. The 853-member church has a strong religious conviction that it must meet weekly and in person, as a single body, for worship.

As a result of Mayor Bowsers onerous COVID-19 orders (first capping worship services at 10 people and now 100), Capitol Hill Baptist Church (CHBC) has not been able to meet together in the District since March. As a temporary measure, they’ve been meeting in a field in Virginia. Continue reading

Intelligence Agencies Should Be Shut Down, At Least Temporarily

“According to [Devin] Nunes, the newly declassified documents from Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe show former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton set up the 2016 Russia investigation into the Trump campaign. Clinton created the Russia collusion hoax to shift public scrutiny away from her email scandal. Nunes said those documents are “smoking guns” that the American people deserve to see.”

(Beth Baumann – Townhall)  House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) on Sunday suggested that American intelligence agencies should be shut down until they comply with handing over information collected on Donald Trump and his campaign back in 2016. Continue reading

40% of Democrats Are Happy President Trump Has COVID

“When a poll shows that 31% of Democrats are literally excited that the President could die is unsettling. These are people we put in power, the people we trust with making the decisions that will change not just our lives but the lives of our children.”

(Drew Berquist – LifeZette)  As news broke that President Trump and the First Lady had contracted COVID-19, the world seemed to stop and react accordingly…. Continue reading

Ken Ham reveals how depraved some in today’s younger generation are

I don’t think we understand the level of depravity in the younger generations. And yet even that is probably nowhere near what Sodom and Gomorrah had become, or what it was like before the flood when we are told of the world’s population (except for Noah and his family) that “the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5). 

(Ken Ham – Answers In Genesis)  “I thought I had seen it all, till I read these.” (AiG staff writer) “I feel sick; I can’t read anymore.” (Mally Ham) “I’ve never read such vile comments.” (AiG design team staff member) Continue reading

Rush Limbaugh: Democrats are staging revolution against America

“Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar. That whole cabal believe that America is deeply flawed, deeply imperfect and irredeemably unjust — and that’s a keyword: Irredeemably. America cannot be fixed, in their perverted view.”

(WND)  Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh says the Democrats in America right now are staging a revolution against the nation. Continue reading

Trans Trump-Supporting Mole Makes Important Discovery About Antifa’s Tactics and Rules of Engagement

“This is very similar to how the intifada terror campaigns against Israel worked in the past. The terrorists knew they could not win a full military confrontation against the well-trained and well-equipped Israeli military. Winning wasn’t even necessarily the goal. The goal was to undermine Israel’s legitimacy, its right to even exist.”

(Bryan Preston – PJ Media) Reason has a fascinating piece about a trans woman Trump supporter who went undercover within antifa in Portland during this summer’s simmering riots. Getting in was easy: just don black and wear a mask. Continue reading

FED UP: Citizens, Community Leaders Form Coalition to Save Portland

(Jeff Reynolds – PJ Media)  A group of citizens in Portland, Ore., have come together to say enough is enough. After months of riots, spikes in violent crime, and years of inaction on the homeless population, the Coalition to Save Portland has begun to push back on the city’s failed leadership. The coalition has taken several actions to foster frank discussions about the growing problems in Portland, and what actions city leaders should take to correct them. Time will tell if city leaders listen or continue on their radical path. Continue reading

The Weapon Against Christian Paradigm in the Year 2020

“The evil to come in the next generation will be worse than this one if left unopposed and unexposed! Postmodernism by its own definition is a ‘scientific revolution’ it seeks to deconstruct Christianity and other faiths, it seeks to lift up what we call evil as good, and condemn God’s grace, creation, and salvation from sin as evil!”

(John Beardsley – Truth With Snares)  A Weapon Against The Christian Paradigm -The Hegelian Dialectic with Postmodern Thinking Deployed.

What in Heaven’s name am I talking about you ask!? Well, much of what I will share is nothing new, and it is as old as sin and Satan himself…. Continue reading

Manager for Ravi Zacharias Spa Goes Public with Further Accusations

“As things stand, four women have come forward with accusations of sexual impropriety, four people have corroborated the accounts, and two others acted as witnesses, for a total of ten people that we know so far. Of these ten, we know the identities of five.”

(Protestia)  Ravi Zacharias’ legacy received another blow after one of his past employees has publicly come forward with new allegations and corroboration against the late famed Christian apologist. Continue reading

POLITICS Biden Campaign Staffer Suggests SCOTUS Nominees Should Be Disqualified For ‘Intolerant’ Religious Views Like Amy Coney Barrett’s

(James Samson – LifeZette) A campaign staffer for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden those who have strong religious views, such as Orthodox Catholics, Jews, and Muslims, should be disqualified from being on the Supreme Court.

Biden campaign Deputy Data Director for Pennsylvania Nikitha Rai made the suggestion on Monday, according to the National Review. The comments were made in a Twitter exchange between Rai and Brookings Institute Senior Fellow Shadi Hamid, during which Rai suggested Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s Catholic beliefs were problematic.
