“My purpose in writing is simply to warn you about those peddling false hopes. They prey on the vulnerable, often using the opportunity of a medical crisis to extract significant amounts of money from unsuspecting and desperate people. When Kendra Soucie’s situation worsened, she sought help from one such place called “Hope4Cancer Treatment Centers.” Because they offer treatment options with no basis in medical science (like treatment with lasers and sound waves), they cannot legally operate in our country.”
(Richard Holdeman – Gentle Reformation) Last week I received the sad news that Kendra Soucie, wife of Liberty University assistant basketball coach, Brad Soucie had died…. Continue reading
“The movement for Black lives … infuses a syncretic blend of African and indigenous cultures’ spiritual practices and beliefs, embracing ancestor worship; Ifa-based ritual such as chanting, dancing, and summoning deities; and healing practices such as acupuncture, reiki, therapeutic massage, and plant medicine in much of its work, including protest.”

“Discussions centered on the evils and callousness of the white person, as light-skinned participants learned about the work being done by the PCUSA) to dismantle structural racism.”
(Caleb Parke – Fox News) Sen. 
“As leftist virtue-signaling Evangelical leaders like Southern Baptist President JD Greear lead their churches in marches with Black Lives Matter and other terrorist organizations to show their solidarity with the movement, they believe that this shields them from the destruction coming their way.”
“The Frankfurt School protegés were neo-Marxists, a new kind of twentieth-century communist less interested in the economic/class ideas of Marx than a remaking of society through the eradication of traditional norms and institutions. Rather than organize the workers and the factories, the peasants and the fields and the farms, they would organize the intellectuals and the academy, the artists and the media and the film industry. These would be the conveyor belts to deliver the fundamental transformation.”
“As Acting Director of National Intelligence, I saw the Democrats’ entire case for Russian collusion. And what I saw made me sick to my stomach. The Obama-Biden Administration secretly launched a surveillance operation on the Trump campaign, and silenced the many brave intelligence officials who spoke up against it. “
“My life changed forever in that one moment. The full war machine of the mainstream media revved up into attack mode. They did so without ever researching the full video of the incident, without ever investigating Mr. Philips’s motives, or without ever asking me for my side of the story. And do you know why? Because the truth wasn’t important.”
“Catastrophizing corona has flattened everything — like predicting a Category 5 Hurricane and taking an army of bulldozers to buildings and bodies before the first gusts ever reach the shore. In states where Democrats have made the lockdown as protracted and punitive as possible, the devastation is seismic.” 
“Nothing to lose.” Spoken like someone with no connection to reality. Also spoken like a career politician who has never run or managed anything outside the comfortable confines of government with its endless supplies of everyone else’s money.

“While Ronald Reagan gave some pushback to this one-party rule, it has not been until the presidency of Donald J. Trump that it has been seriously challenged. The two-party system is back, or more precisely, the one-party system is facing off against one determined individual who is attracting an increasingly large following.” 
“What the SBC must do now is a forensic audit of NAMB. It will be the first step to revealing what is going on and healing the divisions needlessly created by Ezell’s autocratic rule.”
“While it has been clear for some time that Lecrae has embraced the culture and placed his racial identity above his identity in Christ, it’s now becoming clear that he has abandoned the truth of Scripture altogether to embrace the gay-affirming culture because “keeping it real,” “being yourself,” and stuff.” 
(Daily Caller) Maximo Alvarez, whose family fled communist Cuba, said Monday night that he is choosing President Donald Trump because he is choosing “freedom.”
(Fox News) Jerry Falwell Jr. agreed on Monday to resign as president of Liberty University following a series of personal scandals that have overshadowed his tenure as head of the conservative Christian college in Virginia.
I expect a similar exposition from the Republicans this week although President Trump may use his platform to scorch the earth. Mr. Trump is particularly angry these days over Covid destroying the economy, and the partisan press making his life miserable. So the President could give new meaning to the word “vent.” 
(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) In the name of Black Lives Matter, rioters shut down the streets in Kenosha, Wisc., setting trucks on fire, patrolling the streets with semi-automatic rifles, and ransacking nearby businesses. The riot followed the release of a viral video showing Kenosha police repeatedly shooting a black man who resisted arrest and reached into his truck. The man, identified as 29-year-old Jacob Blake, appears to have a violent history. Blake is in critical condition at a nearby hospital, according to police. 
(PNP) Pastor John MacArthur of Grace Community Church (GCC) has received a phone from President Donald Trump in the midst of his fight to stay open for services, with the President thanking Dr. MacArthur for taking a stand as the two of them discussed the unbiblical notion of Christians voting for Democrats.
“An easy rule of thumb to discover state and local overreach is this: civil government derives all its just powers from We the People. We the People can only grant to civil government powers to do things we could do ourselves. We hire them as our servants, delegate to them tasks we could do….”
“It’s common knowledge that Kamala Harris began her career in an adulterous affair with former San Francisco Mayor, Willie Brown, who then appointed her to at least one position in government. Brown was 60 years old and Harris was just 29 at the time. So Kamala Harris, the strong, outspoken feminist candidate talking about the ‘year of the woman’ had a little help early in her career. Interesting.”
(Sam Dorman – Fox News) It is “very disturbing” to hear 
“Let’s face it. If a dog isn’t a dog, mom is now dad, and a boy classmate is now Susie . . . the foundations have just been removed from under the children’s feet. If these young children can no longer trust their obvious lyin’ eyes, how will they know that 2+2 will always be 4? What is constant and what isn’t?”
