“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you” (1 Pet 5:6-7). Isn’t that peculiar advice? What is the connection between Satan’s attacks, humbling ourselves, and casting our anxieties on God? Peter puts his finger on our Achilles heel that Satan goes after: anxieties that drive us away from God and community and toward ourselves.
(John Beeson – The Bee Hive) “I’m sure no one has ever told you this.”
“It’s so bad. You are going to think terrible things about me.”
“Everyone would hate me if they knew what I was thinking.”
“There is no one who loves me for me.”
I’ve heard each of these helpless words from those who sat on the couch in my office. They are raw, vulnerable, and heartbreaking confessions…. Continue reading
“Netanyahu struck before the election. That sent a message that even if Harris were to be elected, neither she nor Biden in the next few months will veto Israeli strategic options. (And the strike also reminded American voters that the current administration turned a calm Middle East into an inferno). …The surreal aspect of the Netanyahu retaliatory tour is that he has done more to neutralize European and American enemies—with decades of Western blood on their hands—than NATO, the CIA, the FBI, and Interpol combined, and yet more often received rebuke rather than gratitude.”
“Let’s be clear about what just happened: only eleven days before a Presidential election, a federal judge ordered Virginia to reinstate over 1,500 individuals – who self-identified themselves as noncitizens – back onto the voter rolls.”
“The only Nazi symbols you saw at all came courtesy of the Democrats.”
“The former archbishop went on to blast Kamala Harris as a George Soros “puppet,” who is controlled by former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.”
(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) Israel’s retaliatory strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran are officially underway as explosions rock different parts of the country Friday night. The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed the news shortly after the strikes began – nuclear sites and oil fields were not targets.
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Justin Peters canceled the Babylon Bee in 2022 over their interview with Elon Musk where they jokingly treated Elon Musk as a believer because he accepted the “golden rule” and showed appreciation for the teachings of Jesus. Believing that they blew it, 
“It was subtle at first, only noticed by those pesky “discernment blogs” of the 20-teens who had nothing better to do than to “nitpick” at everything and “cause division” in the body of Christ.” 
“This is not just the normal heated rhetoric that comes out in the final weeks of a close presidential election. This is something else. It is at least a tacit call for violent resistance, for insurrection, and even for a third assassination attempt against Trump.”
(Nick Peters – Deeper Waters) Should we expect to hear the voice of God? Let’s plunge into the Deeper Waters and find out.
He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. (
“What’s most frustrating about it is that so many Christian parents still just don’t get it, or don’t care. They’ve let nostalgia for the Disney of their youth cloud their judgment. After all, how could the same company that gave us The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast possibly be leading their children into spiritual danger?”
“The Quest Book Shop is where U.N. officials gather to meditate and read material from the Theosophical Society. Founded by a Russian mystic named Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891), who wrote The Secret Doctrine, Theosophy teaches that man can become God through mystical experiences, and can even perform miracles.”
(Mike Solecki – TruthScript) As Christians, we have a sincere desire for the lost to be saved. We also understand, “the gospel is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16 NKJV), including homosexuals. Yet today, the church is being sold a bill of goods that claims our disciple-making efforts have been unloving, harsh, and even oppressive. We are told this is especially true when it comes to homosexuality.
(Protestia) Fourteen years ago, Todd Burpo, an evangelical pastor, wrote the New York Times best-selling book 
“Because we live in a constitutional republic, citizens have power and therefore certain duties. Just as a husband should love his wife (even when respect isn’t reciprocated from her), so too should a citizen fulfill his duty even if his ideal candidate isn’t on the ballot or if his vote is radically different from his neighbor’s and might be “wasted.” Many evangelicals who live in blue areas and sense that their vote won’t matter are disinclined to vote because they don’t think they can win. While we should aim to win, voting is about fulfilling your neighborly duty first.”
“Cheney is a neocon, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, and a longtime establishment figure in Congress. She helped Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on the partisan January 6 Committee, reportedly leaked on former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, asked for Democrats’ vote in her 2022 reelection campaign, and grew her net worth from an estimated $7 million when she first took office in 2017 to possibly more than $44 million in 2020.”
(Bill O’Reilly) Had a vision the other night which was actually a feverish dream. The Vice President of the United States agreed to be interviewed by me. Crazy, I know, but here’s how it went down.
(Protestia) During a Grace Community Church Sunday night service, Pastor John MacArthur answered a question about his friend, former Trinity Bible Church pastor and former Master’s Seminary professor Steve Lawson, stating one of the ways God loves and purifies the church is “to expose someone in a position they have no right to be in.”
“The sheer arrogance of it all is mind-boggling. Who does Stanley think he is to redefine Christianity? He’s not the first to try this, of course—liberal theologians have been doing it for centuries. But Stanley is particularly dangerous because he comes from a respected evangelical background, yet he is leading people down the exact same path that others have followed into heresy. It’s the same old liberal poison, dressed up in new packaging.”
(Greg Piper – Just the News) Public school districts across the country face a daunting challenge from the world’s Abrahamic religions, their lobbying organizations, eminent legal scholars and half the states.
(Lynn Pratt) “Soaking prayer,” which became trendy some years back, is billed as resting/soaking in the presence of God/the Holy Spirit. Sometimes actual prayer (that is, talking to God) is involved, but the emphasis seems mostly on having the mind clear/empty/open. And it’s obvious that participants are expecting something to happen right then. Assorted promos suggest that, as you soak, you might feel a warm/cold sensation, a tingling, a breeze; you might see an aura. You can also entertain a hope to hear God speak, be visited by an angel, understand the Bible better, “get results faster” (faster than what?), experience a healing, come out of spiritual dryness, receive a direct revelation… The idea is that soaking “allows the Lord to show his love for you.” (I’m confused. Since the Lord shows his love to me 24/7, I’m pretty sure he knows he’s “allowed” to.) 
(Jim Hoft – Gateway Pundit) A new cancer treatment protocol involving repurposed drugs Ivermectin (commonly known as a ‘horse dewormer’), Fenbendazole (a ‘dog dewormer’), and Mebendazole has recently passed peer review and is being heralded as a potential breakthrough in cancer therapy.
