Media Fearmongering Has Led To Misconceptions About Risk Of Death From COVID-19

“This, sadly, comes as no surprise. Fear and anger are the most reliable drivers of engagement; scary tales of young victims of the pandemic, intimating that we are all at risk of dying, quickly go viral; so do stories that blame everything on your political adversaries.

Kamala Harris covered up sex crimes by pedophile priests

Kamala Harris joins the ranks of many big city power-hungry prosecutors who placed their own political interests ahead of child victims. Harris cannot claim that she is a warrior for child abuse victims. She chose to side with the powerful Catholic institutions over the suffering children. This is her legacy and those of us who fight for children are not going to let the American public forget that Kamala Harris protected predators at the expense of young vulnerable victims.”

(Cliff Kinkade – Renew America)  With the Catholic Church seen by some as a criminal enterprise that covers up sex crimes by pedophile priests, the issue of whether there should be a Department of Justice investigation into allegations of Catholic clerical sex abuse has achieved national attention….

Below is our reply, which we post for our readers’ edification.”

(Herescope)  Recent events in the world have jump-started some of the old intentions of the Latter Rain movement to create a false revival. In southern California at Huntington Beach a new uprising is identified as “Saturate 2020” and it is attempting to invoke a “great awakening” or a second Jesus movement…. Continue reading

In Defiance of Tyrants: John MacArthur & Grace Community Church

The Amazon Jungle

“Rich New Yorkers and many businesses are fleeing the city taking their considerable tax dollars with them.  Many will not return because who wants to live in a now dangerous place that has marginalized what was once the most effective police force in the nation?  The socialist mayor de Blasio has destroyed the infrastructure of the world’s premiere financial center.  It has been horrifying to watch.”

Churches Aren’t Avoiding Death By Keeping Their Doors Closed. They’re Ensuring It

“Health experts and politicians can pretend protesters and congregations spread the virus differently. The media can spin choirs as cesspools of infection and Christians as grandma-killers, and churches can continue to cower in fear of government power and the possibility of being misunderstood by anti-religious bigots. All the while, however, Christians are starving for community, and communities are dying without the hope of the gospel.”
