The Real King Jesus vs The Modern False Jesus

(The Dissenter) The world today is flooded with distorted depictions and representations of Jesus Christ. In a quest for relevancy and appeal, modern culture, and even most modern churches, have twisted the figure of Jesus into something more palatable, more in line with human desires and ideologies. This false Jesus is worshiped and revered by most of the world, yet he bears little resemblance to the true savior and king, Jesus Christ, revealed to us in the Holy Scriptures.

This false Jesus is a mere shadow, stripped of divine majesty and eternal significance. So who is this real Jesus, son of God and man, that every knee will bow to and every tongue will confess?… Continue reading

Georgia Lawmaker Calls for Emergency Meeting to Impeach Fani Willis

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) A Republican with courage, Georgia State Senator Colton Moore called for an emergency special session to review a proposal to impeach District Attorney Fani Willis. He accuses her of abusing her position to pursue a fraudulent indictment against former President Donald Trump.

Georgia State Sen. Colton Moore, representing District 53, said on Thursday that “an emergency exists” requiring state lawmakers to meet.

“We must strip all funding and, if appropriate, impeach Fani Willis,” Moore stated on X. Continue reading

Disney Legend Defends Splash Mountain and ‘Song of the South’

“…as Imagineers were planning what would become Splash Mountain, then-CEO Michael Eisner rereleased “Song of the South” in theaters to see if it would resonate as well with audiences in the ‘80s as it had 40 years earlier. The film did even better than it had done in any previous theatrical runs.”

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Many years ago, I wrote about a largely forgotten classic Disney film, “Song of the South.” The 1946 film was innovative in the way the studio combined live action and animation in an effective way, and it won Academy Awards for Best Original Song and an honorary award for star James Baskett — who became the first black man to win an Oscar. Continue reading

Judge Finds Hillsong Founder Brian Houston NOT GUILTY of Concealing Sex Abuse

(Protestia) Former Global Senior Pastor of Hillsong Church, Brian Houston, was found not guilty of covering up sexual abuses committed by his late father over 30 years ago, with Magistrate Gareth Christofi handing down the decision in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court early Thursday morning.

Houston, 69, was a child when his pedophile father, Pastor Frank Houston, molested Brett Sengstock in the 1970s…. Continue reading

The New Tower of Babel

“Had we kept our universal language, who knows what further mischief our ruling sinners might have devised? But God knew, and nipped it in the bud.” 

(Lee Duigon – News With Views) CNN—didn’t that use to be a news network?—is going to teach us plebs how to use “neo-pronouns,” avoiding the utterance of such fighting words as “he” or “she”. We have to learn to say “ze” and “zyr” and anything else Our Betters have dreamed up lately.

The pro-choice mob demands we choose to obey. You have to give them credit for being generous with their delusions—they certainly don’t want to keep them to themselves. Continue reading

Biden probe shifts to National Archives with discovery of private emails between Joe and Hunter

“…the Committee questions why the then-Vice President’s son, Hunter Biden—and only Hunter Biden—was copied on this email to then-Vice President Biden.”

(John Solomon – Just the News) In a dramatic shift in the Biden family corruption probe, House investigators on Thursday demanded full access at the National Archives to Joe Biden’s communications as vice president with his son Hunter and his business partners. Continue reading

Conservative Leaders Call on House GOP to Open Impeachment Inquiry

“Joe Biden is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, warranting the opening of an impeachment inquiry, which must ultimately result in impeachment by the House and removal by the United States Senate of Joe Biden as President of the United States.”

(Emma-Jo Morris – Breitbart) Conservative leaders are calling on House Republicans to open an impeachment inquiry against the “corrupt occupant of the White House,” President Joe Biden, according to a Conservative Action Project Memo obtained exclusively by Breitbart News. Continue reading

Who Will Say No More to the Current Madness?

“Most know what must be done, but few will tell the truth: Balance the budget. Return to legal only immigration. Restore a well-funded, but unwoke Pentagon….Insist on racial unity. Curb the overweening administrative state. Enforce the rule of law….Produce more gas and oil. Reestablish civic education. Insist universities protect free speech and due process — and stop proselytizing.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Britain slept in the 1930s as an inevitable war with Hitler loomed.

A lonely Winston Churchill had only a few courageous partners to oppose the appeasement and incompetence of his conservative colleague Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Continue reading

5 Ways to Tell if Your Church’s Worship Music is Man-Centered

“True worship, as described in the Scriptures, is a response to Jesus being revealed to us by God the Father. It is not contingent on musical skill, technological prowess, or atmospheric effects. When we look at the worship of God by the angels and His people in the Bible, we see a focus on the character, works, and promises of God….”

(The Dissenter) In the modern age, it’s not uncommon to find churches falling into a pattern of cheesy, shallow worship music. The superficiality of these songs often reveals much about the theology in the church itself. When a church preaches and a congregation subscribes to shallow theology, a low view of the sovereignty of God, and a high view of self, the music produced inevitably mirrors these beliefs…. Continue reading

‘Unbelievable’: DA and Presiding Judge Both Crack Jokes as Trump Is Indicted in Georgia

“The indictment — like any Trump indictment as the 2024 campaign season ramps up — was hardly unexpected. What was unexpected was prosecutors and judges making light of the situation.”

(The Western Journal) Indicting a former president of the United States is serious business, or so the left says after every new charge against Donald Trump.

That, of course, is why the judge and district attorney in the 2024 Republican front-runner’s latest round of charges are having a good laugh about it. Continue reading

Is Rick Warren A False Teacher?

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Horse) Richard Duane Warren, commonly known as Rick Warren, is an American Evangelical pastor, author, and speaker. Born on January 28, 1954, in San Jose, California, he is widely recognized for his influential contributions to Christian ministry and his best-selling book “The Purpose Driven Life.”

Warren’s early life was marked by a strong religious foundation. He grew up in a Christian family and developed an interest in the church from a young age. After high school, he pursued his education at California Baptist University, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree. Following his undergraduate studies, he continued his theological education at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he earned a Master of Divinity degree. Continue reading

Seeking Counsel

“The tone of this column is cynical, I’m aware. But this entire Biden thing is bogus. The fix was in from the beginning, with Hunter not paying his taxes and generally behaving like a cartel member. The corrupt press helped Hunter out. The Justice Department didn’t care.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Attorney General Merrick Garland is scared. So is FBI Chief Christopher Wray. But most frightened of all should be President Joe Biden. I say should because, at this point, he might not understand or even remember how he enabled his son and brother to amass millions in foreign payments for doing nothing. Continue reading

Hypocrite Pastors Who Complain About Trump, But Refuse to Complain About Democrats

“It is impossible to make the case that voting for Democrats or supporting their pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ, anti-Christian policies and platform is not sinful. It is. And this is where the hypocrisy of these pastors and church leaders comes into play.” 

(The Dissenter) One of my favorite follows on Twitter is Woke Preacher Clips (WPC). I’m the kind of person who is mildly entertained by the mass amounts of stupidity plaguing our world, but at the same time, I grieve over it in the hopes that God will open the eyes of some of these people. It’s really not funny, it’s just how some people process such a sad reality…. Continue reading

Meet the 18 people charged with Trump in Georgia indictment

“Here’s what to know about the other 18 people charged with Trump in the Georgia probe.”

(The Hill) Former President Trump was indicted in Georgia late Monday night on 13 charges ranging from making false statements and impersonating a public officer to conspiracy and racketeering — a charge generally reserved for organized crime.

But the former president is far from the only person tied to the 2020 plot to keep him in power to face serious charges. Continue reading

The Chosen Cast Members Say Jesus Was ‘Flawed’ and That He Committed ‘Transgressions’ (Sin)

(The Dissenter) Anyone who still believes that the popular television show, The Chosen, is a Christian television show is deceiving themselves. While Christians and churches have been entranced by this show for the last several years, many of us have been sounding the alarm about the unbiblical and even subtle heretical propaganda that is being pushed by it. This show exists for the sole purpose of distorting the gospel and dishonoring God and His word.

The word “transgression” finds its roots in a concept that denotes the act of crossing over or stepping beyond a set boundary or limit…. Continue reading

O’Keefe Media Group Unearths Best Buy’s Discrimination

“Christian decorations were out because LGBTQ people might not like them. Sujak’s manager called him anti-LGBTQ. Sujak said that he is not anti-anything. He simply prefers not to be preached to or indoctrinated.”

(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) You may find this hard to believe, but there were times in my life when I was in charge of important things. Once upon a time, I was the program director and operations manager for two radio stations. No, really. As such, I had the power to hire people. That could prove to be a real rodeo from time to time, but that’s another story. Continue reading

Records Reveal Fauci Made Over $300 Million From the Covid Pandemic While Americans Suffered

“So, in other words, the Covid pandemic was one big ploy for the government to get massively wealthy.” 

(Sarah Arnold – Townhall) While the entire United States was under authoritarian mandates, top so-called Covid-19 “experts” were making hundreds of millions of dollars on the pandemic that caused lifelong hurdles for many Americans.

According to records, the former NIH Director, Dr. Francis Collins, and former NIAID Director, Dr. Anthony Fauci, made huge profits from royalty checks during the Chinese virus-fueled pandemic. At the same time, thousands of people struggled to put food on the table. Continue reading

FDA Says You Can Take Ivermectin Now – Not Satire!

“RFK Jr. explained why he thinks ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were banned. It would have collapsed a lucrative enterprise. He says the reason they destroyed ivermectin is because it would have prevented them from getting approval for their experimental vaccine.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The FDA now says we can treat COVID with ivermectin.  Hundreds of thousands of people might be alive today if they were allowed to take it during the pandemic.

Ivermectin began to work for my husband and me within an hour. It’s anecdotal, but I bought more of it to keep on hand. Continue reading

BREAKING: Rep. Greg Steube files Articles of Impeachment Against President Joe Biden

(Anthony Gonzales – PJ Media) Rep. Greg Stuebe of Florida filed articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden over his involvement in his son’s corrupt foreign business dealings on Friday.

“It’s long past time to impeach Joe Biden,” Steube said in a press release. “He has undermined the integrity of his office, brought disrepute on the Presidency, betrayed his trust as President, and acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice at the expense of America’s citizens…. Continue reading

Sorry Church Ladies, Jesus is Not Your Romantic Partner

“This trend paints Him less as the sovereign ruler of the universe and more like a divine partner in a cosmic rom-com, always there with a comforting word, a box of spiritual chocolates, and a shoulder to cry on.”

(The Dissenter) In the modern cathedrals of pop-Christianity, where the beats of “worship music” resonate just a tad louder than doctrinal integrity, a new portrait of Jesus has been painted—one that bears less resemblance to the God revealed to us in Scripture and more to a Shakespearean Romeo. Yes, it seems that the Almighty Savior, who upholds the universe by the Word of His power, is now being serenaded as though He’s about to engage in a moonlit waltz…. Continue reading

Bombshell Tucker Interview on J6 That Was Hidden from the Public

TUCKER: “Wait, wait, so the military says we’re so concerned about potential imminent violence that we’re considering shutting down the city, but at the very same time, they decide that the National Guard can’t adopt an aggressive posture?”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Tucker Carlson’s interview with former Capitol Hill Police Chief Christopher Sund is one for the historical record. This was hidden by Fox News. The information about J6 that we are finally hearing was kept from the public for political gain. The administration ignored safety as a violent few lured more than a thousand innocents into the Capitol to parade around and trespass. Continue reading

Hawaii Wildfires Death Toll Stands at 53, Expected to Rise ‘Very Significantly’

“Thousands of people have already been evacuated from Maui.”

(Simon Kent – Breitbart) The death toll from the wildfires that have ravaged vast parts of the west coast of Hawaii’s Maui island over the past 48-hours stood at 53 late Thursday night. Authorities have warned the count is expected to rise.

“In 1960 we had 61 fatalities when a large wave came through Big Island,” Governor Josh Green said, referring to a tragedy that struck a year after Hawaii became the 50th U.S. state. Continue reading
