Steve Lawson’s letter of repentance is posted on the social media platform X.
It is with a shattered heart that I write this letter. I have sinned grievously against the Lord, against my wife, my family, and against countless numbers of you by having a sinful relationship with a woman not my wife. I am deeply broken that I have betrayed and deceived my wife, devastated my children, brought shame to the name of Christ, reproach upon His church, and harm to many ministries.
“We are now witnessing European heads of state sending the same old virtue signaling support for the brave Zelenskyy, who supposedly spoke truth to power to the mean U.S. Orange Man. But where does such performance art lead after the cult hero Zelenskyy had gnawed the hand that gorged him?”
(Victor Davis Hanson – Frontpage Magazine)
Fable one: Trump is appeasing Russia?
Who wiped out the Wagner group in Syria? Who sold offensive weapons to Ukraine first? Who warned Germany not to become dependent on the Russian Nord Stream II deal? Continue reading
“Wheaton didn’t confront her error. They didn’t call her to repentance. They didn’t correct her in love. Instead, they let her drift. She was a pawn in their game, useful for making them look “compassionate” and “nuanced” on LGBTQ issues, until the moment she became an inconvenience.”
(The Dissenter) Wheaton College’s slow-motion descent into theological surrender is a tragedy, but not a surprising one. For years, the once-proud evangelical institution has been prostituting its doctrinal backbone for a seat at the table of cultural relevance. And what do they have to show for it?… Continue reading
“We need a period where we can think through what it is to be an American, what unites us. Immigration makes it impossible because it’s too much … things change too fast. Who are these people?”
(Selwyn Duke – New American) While touting the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 on the Senate floor, the late Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) pushed a number of selling points. Among other things, he said that
Women are naturally more empathetic by God’s design. But when this natural biological reality is subsumed by the liberal mind, it becomes a totalizing reality upon which to make every decision. All decisions are filtered through “How would this make so and so feel,” instead of “Is this true, good, and beautiful.” Empathy becomes the de facto tone and ethos of the church.
(J. Chase Davis – American Reformer) For many decades, evangelical churches in America, most of whom would be classified as Protestant and Baptist, even while they shirk those labels for something like non-denominational, have been living under the guiding hand of managerialism. No generation perfected this art better than the boomer seeker-sensitive pastors. These were pastors who turned the church corporate. While maintaining airs of biblical authority, they also made the ministry a market commodity…. Continue reading
“Who is behind this autopen on 12/30/2022 that pardoned six criminals (with the exact same autopen signature) while Joe Biden was vacationing and golfing in the U.S. Virgin Islands?”
(R. Court Kirkwood – New American) The Biden Autopen Scandal deepened yesterday with the revelation that documents supposedly signed by former President Joe Biden “at the city of Washington” were, in fact, signed while he was on vacation in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The scandal surfaced last week when the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project on X revealed that just one of the documents it uncovered bore a live signature. The rest were autopenned. Continue reading
“Americans who still believed God created each man and woman with equally valuable souls were offended at the creation of artificial hierarchies that turned true equality on its head, doling out special privileges based on a person’s race, politics, or sexuality.”
(Elle Purnell – The Federalist) When Donald Trump first sailed into the Oval Office, his detractors shrieked that his blunt rhetoric was dividing the country. His supporters pointed out that Trump wasn’t so much creating division as he was revealing divisions that had been growing in America for a long time. Continue reading
“The FBI also wasn’t able to locate most of the Antifa and paid agents provocateurs but was able to find plenty of grandmas and their own informants and throw them in prison. It’s so strange that the FBI would have a credibility problem, isn’t it?”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) By all rights, Kamala Harris’s storyline for Jan. 6, 2021, should have been that she narrowly escaped being assassinated by a bomb timed to detonate at the Democratic National Committee headquarters when the newly elected vice president was inside. But she never mentioned it. In fact, the pipe bomber case and the FBI’s handling of it turned into vapor right after they tracked down the bomber’s cell phone. None of this makes sense. Continue reading
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) On Tuesday afternoon, House Republicans succeeded in passing a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government through September. In addition to funding the government, Republicans say the CR will freeze spending, secure the border, and support President Trump’s America First policies.
Despite Democratic opposition and potential GOP holdouts, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) expressed confidence Tuesday morning that the measure would pass. House leaders even instructed members to leave town after the vote — an apparent move to pressure the Senate into approving the funding package. Continue reading
“This isn’t Christian reflection, it’s a woke political manifesto wrapped in religious language, designed to co-opt Christianity into serving the urges of the progressive ruling class. And the best response to it? The same response Jesus had for the Pharisees who twisted Scripture for their own ends. Expose them as hypocrites and call them to repentance.”
(The Dissenter) A group of progressive clergy and rainbow-splattered religious activists have hijacked the already unbiblical celebration of “Lent” to push a blatantly leftist political agenda, a thinly veiled leftist activist manifesto framed as a “return to Jesus.” Continue reading
“The use of violence is not a “necessary evil” but a moral good. Therefore, violence, when used rightly, is not simply the “lesser of two evils” but an act of virtue.”
(Keith Foskey – Clear Truth Media) “Violence is never the answer.” It’s a common claim. But is it true? At first glance, it sounds appealing—who wouldn’t want to live in a world where conflicts are resolved through diplomacy and understanding? Yet, the reality of human history tells a different story.
Since the fall, violence has been an inescapable part of the human condition. It took only one generation for the first murder to occur, and ever since, conflict has shaped societies and nations…. Continue reading
(John R. Lott Jr. – The Federalist) You’d never know it from watching television, but civilians stop more active shooters than police and do so with fewer mistakes, according to new research from the Crime Prevention Research Center, where I serve as president. In non-gun-free zones, where civilians are legally able to carry guns, concealed carry permit holders stopped 51.5 percent of active shootings, compared to 44.6 percent stopped by police, CPRC found in a deep dive into active shooter scenarios between 2014 and 2023. Continue reading
“They actually want to kill me,” he told Rogan in his February 28 podcast. He says people with a screw loose may be inflamed enough because of media lies that he’s a “Nazi.” “They say so online. There are Reddit forums where they don’t just want to kill me—they want to desecrate my corpse…”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Elon Musk and his DOGE team have now mined so deeply into the inner workings of government overspending and fraud that they may have hit the Mother Lode of public corruption. And he and his friends believe someone will try to kill him. Continue reading
“I’m sure there are some extremely entrepreneurial youngsters out there… but 5,593 who are sophisticated enough to start businesses and apply for loans from the federal government? Color me dubious.”
(Bob Hoge – Red State) The Department of Government Efficiency has been like a force of nature since Donald Trump took office and Elon Musk set the DOGE loose to uncover waste in the government. And oh, what waste and fraud they’ve found, from our funding of jihadists and extreme social justice programs overseas through USAID to the discovery of $1.9 billion that Biden’s Housing and Urban Development Department “misplaced.” Continue reading
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) According to Associated Press “A total lunar eclipse will flush the moon red Thursday night into Friday morning across the Western Hemisphere. The best views will be from North America and South America. Parts of Africa and Europe may catch a glimpse.”
Modern day prophets such as John Hagee and Jonathan Cahn (more about them below) have gone down the Blood Moon road before. In 2014 Hagee gave us the best-selling book, Blood Moons, where he claimed that “God is trying to communicate with us in a supernatural way…I believe that in the next two years, we’re going to see something dramatic happen in the Middle East involving Israel that will change the course of history in the Middle East and impact the whole world.”
No doubt charismatic “prophets” have offered up their view of what’s going to take place in the wee hours of the morning on March 14th. AP reports that “The so-called blood moon will be visible for about an hour starting at 2:26 a.m. Eastern on Friday morning. Peak viewing will be close to 3 a.m. Eastern.” Continue reading
“Despite signs of physical decline, it’s impossible not to pick up on the strength of his words and the message shining through. And the message he would have given attendees in person, and now is giving them in print form, is perfect.”
(Protestia) A visibly frail John MacArthur has shared a video for Shepherd Conference attendees and also for the public, expressing his great sadness and disappointment at not being able to attend while also wishing grace and peace to attendees. Continue reading
“President Trump is working on this behind the scenes. He’s just issued a memorandum that seeks to stop these left-wing judges in their tracks….This move is meant to hold people accountable for filing weak or politically motivated cases against the federal government.”
(Revolver) Many are cheering President Trump’s latest move to shut down the left’s activist judges. This move comes after the Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling, where Amy Coney Barrett (and Justice Roberts) sided with the left once again and backed a federal activist judge’s power to force President Trump to hand over $2 billion to USAID contractors.
Yet another blow to Trump’s America First mandate. Continue reading
The old saying liar, liar, pants on fire, your nose is longer than a telephone wire will no doubt spring to mind if you watch only 2 or 3 minutes of the cringe video. Note the dead serious expressions on the leftmedia’s faces while they lie through their teeth to their audience, then ask yourself, “who are you people?”
(Matt Vespa – Townhall) We know about the liberal media cover-up regarding Joe Biden’s mental health. It wasn’t a mid-way through his term crisis either. On day one, his staff noticed he was losing his marbles and did whatever they could to hide this from the public. Toward the end, it was clear to voters that Biden had retreated into the bunker, the beach, or anywhere that would limit access to the White House Press Corps. Many reporters knew of his condition and said nothing out of fear of helping the Republicans or losing access. Continue reading
“Not a single Democrat mentioned the Great Barrington Declaration. None bothered to press Bhattacharya on his opposition to once-consensus opinions on lockdowns, masking, and school closures. Despite having every opportunity and incentive to attack Bhattacharya as a dangerous crank nominee, the minority on the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee chose not to even mention what were once his most controversial views.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) Jay Bhattacharya, Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the National Institutes of Health, came to his confirmation hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee representing the triumph of science over dogma. Continue reading
14. Give up approaching church attendance as punching the time clock for God. The Christian’s entire life, our very beings, belong to Christ, not just a couple of hours on Sunday.
(Michelle Lesley) Although, as a Louisiana girl, I’ve had a decades long love affair with king cake, and I totally support the increased availability of fish entrées at local restaurants and getting a few days off school or work, I’m not a big fan of Mardi Gras and Lent.
The intrinsic philosophy behind Mardi Gras – a day of revelry, indulgence, and debauchery to get it all out of your system before you have to start “being good” for Lent – is patently unbiblical. Continue reading
“Get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in … it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge,” Brent Efron has said in the video.
(Jeremy Frankel – Townhall) At least $20 billion was funneled by the Biden administration to environmental groups. Most had only been founded months earlier.
One such group, called Climate United Fund, based in Bethesda, Maryland, which does neither appears in the IRS’s charities database nor has any federal filings, was given a check for almost $7 billion by then-Vice President Kamala Harris. The fund was only incorporated in Delaware in November 2023 and the check was given in April 2024. Continue reading
“The implications are staggering. We essentially had a presidency by proxy, with unelected staffers wielding presidential power while the man himself was barely cognizant enough to read a teleprompter. This isn’t just a scandal; it’s potentially the biggest constitutional crisis in American history.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The Biden presidency might have been the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the American people. A shocking investigation by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden’s signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen — except for one. Continue reading
“‘He Gets Us’ is another example of spiritual politics at work. It is politically incorrect to point out that we are sinners in need of salvation. It is more politically palatable to offer a spirituality that teaches that we are okay but need to be better behaved.”
(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwestern Christian Outreach) Our culture has long been wrestling over the idea of separation of church and state, but few seem to recognize the existence of what Carl Teichrib terms “Spiritual Politics” in chapter 12 of his book, Game of Gods. Spiritual Politics is often on public display in the daily news cycle today but is done in such a way that people are distracted from actually seeing what is truly being promoted right in front of our eyes…. Continue reading
“McMahon sent a letter to her new employees signaling the department will be shuttered if she and her boss can get their way…”
(Paul Dragu – New American) The Senate confirmed Linda McMahon as the new secretary of the Department of Education on Monday. That same day, she announced plans for the department’s “final mission.”
One of President Donald Trump’s many campaign promises included eliminating the federal Education Department…. Continue reading
“We cannot accept this cowardly theology. The role of the pastor is not merely to exegete texts in a vacuum but to apply them with force against the strongholds of the age. That is the entire point—to demonstrate the power of the gospel against a backdrop of darkness. The gospel is the power to save, and what better way to demonstrate it than to wield that sword against such darkness?”
(The Dissenter) History has never suffered a shortage of theologians who chose comfort over confrontation, accommodation over courage. In the courts of corrupt kings and the halls of dead and decaying empires, there were always those willing to drape cowardice in the language of wisdom, caution, and nuance. Continue reading
