UPDATE below:
We’re posting two articles that report on the Steve Lawson situation. Both of them contain some of the same information; but also contain new info. After reading article #1, return to CRN to read #2 which contains Lawson’s words of regret on the damage (pain) he has caused his family and a host of others.
Article #1 Steve Lawson: Fake Pastor, Fake News, Real Mistress – Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web
Over the weekend, Evangelical Dark Web reported on how Trinity Bible Church hid in plain sight the fact that Steve Lawson was never a pastor at their church but rather a performer on Sunday mornings. Nevertheless, Steve Lawson was paraded across several ministries: One Passion Ministries, Ligonier, The Master’s University and Seminary, G3 Ministries, and Grace Community Church…. Continue reading
“A near-endless list of evangelical pastors lectured us on Trump’s immorality, claiming it to be more important than his policies or the evils of Kamala Harris. They urged compromise with the much greater evils of Harris and the Democratic Party to reject the lesser one of Trump’s personality flaws. Such pastors have lost credibility, with many turning them off and seeking teachers with greater integrity, soundness of mind, and understanding of the times.”
(Ben Bartee – PJ Media) I don’t suppose we really needed more evidence that we have a hefty mental health pandemic on our hands in the West — that case has already been adjudicated for anyone paying attention — but, boy, has this election really ripped any remanence of a veneer of sanity off.
“Blaming Biden for not dropping out sooner is absurd, especially when Pelosi and other leaders were part of the cover-up of Biden’s poor cognitive health. But now that Pelosi is blaming Biden, you can expect this civil war to really ramp up.”
“[Johnny] Enlow was the most dramatic of the holdouts. In April 2021, he posted on Facebook his vision of Trump seated on a heavenly throne wearing a golden crown and holding a golden scepter.”
“Steve Lawson’s adultery is worse actually.”
(Below the Fold – Patriot Post Headlines) The editors cover all sorts of need-to-know topics. Their reporting is short and pithy. One topic they cover is how the FBI took Trump’s win. According to one source, FBI leaders “are reportedly “stunned,” “shellshocked,” and walking around in a daze after the American people resoundingly reelected Donald Trump. Now to TPP’s Below the Fold:
“We have to see the political shift as an opportunity to advance truth not a momentary reprieve from an inevitable cultural collapse.”
(Simon Kent – Breitbart) Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders has condemned what appeared to be an organized, widespread targeted attack by anti-Israel rioters in Amsterdam on Thursday night, branding it a “pogrom” on the streets of the capital.
“In 2017, we saw unprecedented obstruction by Democrats of President Trump’s nominees. This must not happen again.”
“It ended as it had to, with Harris spending money her campaign didn’t have (she’s currently $20 million in the hole, despite raking in more than ONE BILLION DOLLARS) on celebrity endorsements that didn’t matter on the way to losing everything to a convicted felon that nearly half the country has been deluded into believing is Literally Hitler™.”
“Christians must keep putting their hands to the plow (Luke 9:62). For though the forces of darkness have suffered a political setback, we cannot forget that, like the Evangelicals For Harris, they won’t being going away unless and until they are winnowed or won to Christ, who is the Lord of all.”
(Matt Vespa – Townhall) It was a blue mirage. Liberals were confident in beating Donald Trump, despite Kamala Harris’s lack of intelligence and political acumen to be president. The polls showed a close race. It ended up being much like 2016—Trump cinched an Electoral College landslide, and he’s going to win the popular vote. On both fronts of their coping sessions, the Left has nothing. You can’t seethe about the Electoral College when Trump won the popular vote.
(Clear Truth Media) It would, of course, be very poor form after what can rightly be described as a crushing electoral victory for the Republican Party, to spend the morning basking in the glory of such a triumph, drinking the sweet, sweet nectar of progressive tears, and playing the wailing and gnashing of their teeth as a kind of soothing whale-song with which to unwind after a long but magnificent night.
Watch Megan’s powerful speech on X.
“Musk fears that a Kamala Harris win on Tuesday would mean the end of Twitter/X as we’ve come to know it. If Trump were to win, Musk would expect to see advertising on the platform return to robust numbers, but a Kamala win would mean: They’ll freaking shut [it] down. There’s no way that the … Kamala regime would allow X to exist.”
Why then the charges of Trump the fascist and Hitler reincarnation? Simple. Harris’s personal negatives are rising, her polls inert. She has abandoned her prior run-out-the-clock avoidance of the media, her smiley “joy” campaign, and instead now embraces the big lie, while President Joe Biden writes off Trump supporters as “garbage.”
(Steven Richards – Just the News) Democrats were confronted earlier this year with a terrifying reality: a cap on out-of-pocket costs for patients to limit Medicare drug spending passed as part of Biden’s signature Inflation Reduction Act was set to spike premiums for millions of senior citizens just weeks before the 2024 presidential election.
“Hewitt pointed out that as “news people” they should try actually reporting the full story.”
(Tim Chester – GCD) Here’s a surprise. In preparation to write about how we relate to Jesus day by day in the here and now, I re-read the Gospels. I was looking out for how he related to people when he was on earth as pointers to how he relates to his people now from heaven. Much of what I found was what I expected. He cares, protects, energizes, touches, and intercedes for his people—then and now. But one thing took me by surprise: Jesus on earth was often angry.
“Note the shift from “unfit,” which is what Harris usually says about Trump, to “disqualified.” The purpose of that language shift should be obvious. Democrats and the corporate press know Harris is poised to lose the election, so here in the final stretch, they are grasping for a pretext to prevent a victorious Trump from taking office on Jan. 20. They will repeat the claim that he’s “disqualified” ad nauseam between now and then to prepare the rhetorical ground for what comes next.”
“Heretics, like Rick Warren and Andy Stanley, fetishize the early church as a means to introduce vain ideology into the church.”
“Entire Amish communities are travelling in carts with Trump flags, on their way to vote for Trump. This is unprecedented. Off-grid communities don’t tend to go out of their way like this to vote. People are sick of leftism in every single country.”
“There’s a definite shift happening in America. The right is rising up—stronger, louder, and more determined than ever to take on the left-wing censorship tyrants. Much of that renewed power comes from Elon Musk’s X platform, which isn’t just pushing back against leftist tyranny; Elon himself has become a part of the Trump campaign, and when Trump wins, he’ll play a role in his administration too.”
