The Docent Research Group is a “sermon-writing mill staffed by far-left activists, homosexuals, self-avowed feminists, never-Trumpers, full-blown Democrats, and Critical Race Theorists.”
(Protestia) In an attempt to defend himself from the thesis of Megan Basham’s Shepherds for Sale, JD Greear repeatedly relied on claims of poor memory or inarticulate phrasing. But a deep dive into the Protestia archives reveals something more sinister. It’s highly likely Greear didn’t write his own words and, therefore, isn’t familiar with what the Docent Group provided for him to say. Continue reading
“My goal here is not to discuss all of the political issues surrounding this presidential election. If you have not made up your mind on these issues, then you are probably sinking in spiritual quicksand. I simply want to remind the reader of two things—how critical this election is, and what part evangelicals must play in it. Elections have consequences.”
The American public didn’t have a picture of a local law enforcement SWAT team officer taking one shot — from the ground — at Thomas Crooks and his murderous weapon.”
(Victor Davis Hanson) The already-long 2024 presidential campaign has become the strangest in modern history.
“Vaccination plus behavioral change among gay and bisexual men. That is the group most affected in the United States in the 2022 outbreak. It has caused U.S. cases of MPox to fall from more than 30,000 in 2022 to 1,700 in 2023. The behavioral change is they cut out most orgies.”
“The details of each chapter vary. In the case of COVID, for example, evangelical leaders platformed a guy (Francis Collins) who was literally paid by the government to message their political agenda, and then those same leaders turned around and called evangelicals ‘conspiracy theorists’ if they didn’t accept what Collins (and, by extension, the government) was saying. That is the most direct case of evangelical leaders being misled by political money.”
“The future of the church, and our country, depends on us employing a different model and equipping the saints while also reaching the lost. There are practicalities that we can take from the megachurch movement, but the next era of church in this nation must correct the errors above.”
“Hinn has regularly preached that people reap what they sow. Now is his time for reaping.”
“Harris’s so-called commitment to justice, equality, and compassion. We’re expected to believe that her push for unrestricted abortion, her support for defunding the police, and her endorsement of gender confusion are somehow expressions of Christian love. Really? Since when did advocating for the slaughter of unborn children become an act of compassion?”
“The gospel plus anything is no gospel at all, but TGC would have you believe that if you’re not out there fighting for every cause that the culture deems worthy, you’re somehow not fulfilling the Great Commission. This is more than just a misunderstanding—it’s a perversion of the gospel itself, dressed up in language that’s meant to sound pious and loving but is, in reality, nothing more than spiritualized social engineering.”
“I point out a distinction between associations and alliances. Ruslan speaking at Preston Sprinkle’s conference is an association. It doesn’t make him a false teacher but it’s a glaring red flag. However, Immanuel Church has Gavin Ortlund, Sam Allberry, and Russell Moore in leadership. This isn’t mere association. Their wagons are hitched.”
(Daniel Greenfield – Front Page) With headlines like “Harris Surges Ahead: A New Era of Democratic Enthusiasm and Opportunity” and “Former Friend Exposes JD Vance’s Radical Transformation: A Study in Political Opportunism”, you might mistake NioThinker for another mainstream media outlet.
(Joe Boot – Clear Truth Media) The man who is content to sit ignorantly by his own fireside, wrapped up in his own private affairs, and has no public eye for what is going on in the Church and the world, is a miserable patriot, and a poor style of Christian. Next to our Bibles and our own hearts, our Lord would have us study our own times. – J. C. Ryle
“Greear’s entire sermon was constructed to soften the perception of homosexuality by lumping it together with other, less shocking sins. Sure, homosexuality is sin, Greear concedes, but so is greed, so is pride, so is lying—so why not stop making such a big deal out of it? Why not downplay its severity so we can win a few more brownie points with the secular culture?”
(Douglas Andrews – The Patriot Post) Elon Musk is one guy. Let’s remember that.
“Perhaps the biggest “tell” about Kamala is that she believes all Americans should be in “an equal place.” She said that at a Democratic Party event on September 30, 2022. Of course, that’s precisely what Stalin, Mao, Castro, and Xi spout. And it is preposterous because every human being is different, some far more capable than others.”
“All the hate and vitriol towards half the country comes from one party and their media. their alliances with the globalists who sit in organizations like the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, the World Bank, etc. should terrify us.”
(Newsmax) Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reiterated the U.S. commitment to “take every possible step to defend Israel” on Sunday, in the seventh call with his Israeli counterpart, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, in recent weeks.

“Yes, American Evangelicalism does have a few Leftist snakes in the grass. They’re passive-aggressive, they gaslight, they sneer, they deflect. Everything they do is designed to give them plausible deniability. They can do this because that’s all they need to do….Their only job is to ridicule the people who are waking up to it…”
“Family, friends, food – these are all good things. And yet they cannot be the ultimate source of our joy. It must go deeper than that, and because of God’s mercy, He has given us the true reservoir or joy. It is in Him. Trials, because of their very nature, threaten our temporal sources of joy, and therefore give us an opportunity to clarify to ourselves where our ultimate joy lies.”
“Catechesis is about teaching the fundamentals of the faith. It is simple but not simplistic, thoughtful but not arcane, practical but not pragmatic. It focuses less on speculative aspects of theology or ‘hot topics’ and more on providing the basic categories in which Christianity is understood and lived. It provides us the grammar to speak to God and neighbor in a genuinely Christian way.”
“Flaherty said “misinformation narratives” include “conversation online about corruption or mental fitness…or [Biden’s] record on the Crime Bill”—effectively defining “misinformation” as anything that the Biden team found inconvenient.”
