Bombshell: Tucker’s prepared monologue for the night he was pulled off the air addressed Ray Epps…

“Thanks to a new stunning revelation, things are getting really interesting. In a recent eye-opening tweet by Tucker’s autobiographer, Chadwick Moore, he revealed that Tucker’s monologue for April 24th was written in response to Ray Epps’ 60 Minutes interview and delved deeper into the January 6th farce.”

(Revolver) We’ve finally learned what Tucker intended to say the night of Monday, April 24th, when he was pulled from Fox News. As you may remember, CBS “60 Minutes” aired a biased segment on Sunday, April 23, showcasing Ray Epps and criticizing Revolver and Tucker Carlson for their bombshell coverage of the events of January 6th and the questionable nature of Epps’ role in the so-called Capitol breach.

The Accolades Given to Tim Keller Reveals an Alarming Trend Within Evangelicalism

(The Dissenter) Treading carefully not to seem as though we revel in the death of another human being—we don’t—we do feel as though enough time has passed to pour water on the fire surrounding the idolatry of a man who was ashamed of the gospel. Tim Keller was an influential pastor and author, but he was also a divisive figure who dramatically overstepped the bounds of traditional biblical teaching. His ministry, centered at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, was characterized by a troubling emphasis on social justice, a concept deeply entangled with contemporary political ideologies and far removed from the true Gospel message. Continue reading

Are You Praying to the Only True God?

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network)  Christianity holds to the view that prayer is of the leading of the Holy Spirit. Octavius Winslow put it in these words:

It must be acknowledged by the spiritual mind that all true prayer is of the leading of the Spirit; that He is the author of all real approach of the soul to God. All true prayer is put into words by the Spirit. He is the Author of prayer in the soul.

The scriptures speak of God the Holy Spirit residing within all who believe in the Son of God. The Spirit guides, instructs and empowers believers. (John 14:16-17) As well, the “Spirit of truth” confirms everything about Jesus. (John 15:26) The unregenerate (unsaved) person is not Spirit filled. God does not hear anyone’s prayer unless it is put into words by the Holy Spirit. So if we want our prayers to be heard and answered we must pray to the right God.

“This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” (John 17:3).

Before I move on it’s necessary to briefly explain what other world religions believe about God. Continue reading

Kari Lake Attorney’s Closing Argument: At Least 70K Votes Not Verified, Election Must Be Set Aside

Your Honor, the election was unlawful,” Olsen told the judge. “[Arizona statute] 16-550 was not complied with. Defendants don’t dispute our expert. They don’t dispute the evidence.”

(Randy DeSoto – Western Journal) Kari Lake attorney Kurt Olsen argued in his closing argument in her election challenge case Friday that at least 70,000 mail-in ballots were not properly verified in accordance with Arizona law, and therefore the election must be set aside. Continue reading

Unless You Repent, You Will All Likewise Perish!

“The phrase “unless you repent, you will all likewise perish” is repeated twice (Luke 13:3,5, ESV), lending it a profound weight. The repetition is a method of emphasis in Hebraic literature, and here, it accentuates the inescapability and dire necessity of repentance.”

(The Dissenter) In the heart of the Gospel of Luke, we encounter a passage of Scripture that undeniably reaffirms the sovereignty of God, the sinfulness of humanity, and the inescapable need for repentance. Luke 13:1-5 presents an incisive discourse by Jesus Christ that simultaneously dispels the notion of suffering as divine retribution for specific sins and urges all sinners toward repentance. Continue reading

Justice Gorsuch Broadsides Officials at All Levels for Massive ‘Intrusions’ on Americans’ Civil Liberties

MUST READ

“Fear and the desire for safety are powerful forces. They can lead to a clamor for action — almost any action — as long as someone does something to address a perceived threat. A leader or an expert who claims he can fix everything, if only we do exactly as he says, can prove an irresistible force.” 

(The Western Journal) The Supreme Court got rid of a pandemic-related immigration case with a single sentence.

Justice Neil Gorsuch had a lot more to say, however, leveling harsh criticism at how governments, from small towns to the nation’s capital, responded to COVID-19. Continue reading

Fox’s Chief Counsel Relays a Message to Tucker

“Taking the Fox attorney at his word, what about the leaks of behind-the-scenes footage? Those leaks had to come from someone at Fox. Are they investigating, or was Irena the one who did it and will now stop?”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Fox News Chief Legal Counsel Viet Dinh reportedly called someone close to Tucker Carlson. He wanted to relay a message to him about the leaks, reports the Daily Caller. Continue reading

Featured LifeWay Speaker Who Says God Raised Up Homosexuals as the Most Credible Voices on Sexuality Defends Rachel Gilson

(The Dissenter) Yesterday, The Dissenter broke the story that a Southern Baptist Convention-approved women’s conference during the annual meeting would be featuring a speaker who preached a sermon a few years ago stating that homosexuals who are in a “gay marriage” might stay together because “God hates divorce.” This same woman, Rachel Gilson, also said during a podcast that homosexual “Christians” can live out their sexuality faithfully whether they are attracted to men, women, both, or even potted plants.

(Protestia) Renown Pastor Tim Keller has left the hospital where he was being treated for complications from pancreatic cancer and is receiving hospice care at home, according to his son who posted the update on social media.

Sharing that “He has expressed many times through prayer his desire to go home to be with Jesus. His family is very sad because we all wanted more time, but we know he has very little at this point.” Continue reading

Hang All the Members of the Liars’ Club?

“In the great scheme of lying things, George Santos is a prevaricating minnow who was snagged to great acclaim because the lying sharks swim and circle with impunity.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Federal prosecutors last week announced the indictment of U.S. Representative George Santos (R-N.Y.) on a host of charges, including misuse of federal campaign funds and wire fraud, almost all of them resulting from his pathological lies.

Certainly, Santos deserved the attention of prosecutors for lying on federal documents and affidavits that may have helped him win a congressional seat as well as personal lucre. Continue reading

Spurgeon: You Will Never See Me Again, This Fight is Killing Me

Churches were starting to fill up, but the numbers were not from those who were interested in the truth of God’s Word, but rather for amusement and entertainment. Yes, the numbers soared, but so did the problems. The churches were being filled with the world because the church was behaving just like the world!

(Jeremiah Cry Ministries) “You will never see me again, this fight is killing me” —Charles Spurgeon

The Above quote was written to a friend by Charles Spurgeon in the midst of what was called the downgrade. For nearly 40 years, Spurgeon had preached the gospel in London. Continue reading

New Report Details FBI ‘Rot’ and Retaliation Against Whistleblowers

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) A new and lengthy report  released by the House Judiciary Committee and Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government Thursday morning shows FBI supervisors retaliated against agents blowing the whistle on corruption and partisan misconduct.

“To date, the Committee and Select Subcommittee have received whistleblower testimony from several current and former FBI employees who chose to risk their careers to expose abuses and misconduct in the FBI…. Continue reading

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Introduces Resolution to Expel Adam Schiff from Congress

“Schiff lied to the American people. He used his position on House Intel to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars,” Luna  tweeted from her congressional account. “He is a dishonor to the House of Representatives.”

(Jordan Dixon-Hamilton – Breitbart) Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) on Wednesday introduced a resolution to expel Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff (CA) from Congress.

Luna’s resolution comes days after Special Counsel John Durham released a report about the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign for alleged Russian collusion. Continue reading

Ominous Warning for Tucker in Today’s Hearing

“Senator Schumer threatened Fox News publicly and who knows what went on in private. Tucker was silenced. He had a week’s worth of video and showed very little after that Monday.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) During Monday’s Senate hearing, the partisan Capitol Hill police chief took pot shots at Tucker, working in tandem with Senator Chris Van Hollen. They brought up J6 for the umpteenth time. They never miss an opportunity. There also seemed to be an ominous warning for Tucker. Continue reading

Weed Is Literally Blowing Young Men’s Minds

Considering that each one of those cases is a life-altering tragedy for the victim and his family, it’s inexcusable for pot pushers to keep telling young people the stuff is “harmless.”

(Athena Thorne – PJ Media) Advocates for the legalization of cannabis across the country offer all sorts of comforting assertions about how harmless pot is. “Weed isn’t addictive,” or “Pot users aren’t violent,” they assure us. Neither of those claims is true, however. Continue reading

To My Friends Who Are No Longer Friends With Jesus

“What stood true two thousand years ago stands true today: there is a great enemy of your soul.”

(Tim Counts – For the Church) To my friends who are no longer friends with Jesus: I want you to know that if I am aware of you walking away from Jesus, I have prayed for you and even cried for you. A couple of years ago I was reading The Last Battle from C.S. Lewis’s “The Chronicles of Narnia” to our kids. I came across a passage that took my breath away and filled my eyes with tears. Tirian, the last king of Narnia, is meeting the former kings and queens of Narnia: Continue reading

Tim Keller Hospitalized: Wife Kathy Gives Bleak Cancer Update

(Protestia) Last year, Tim Keller gave an update on his ongoing health crisis, and it was encouraging but not without its challenges. Keller was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June 2020 but was taking positive steps toward recovery. This was excellent news, as the recovery rates are devastatingly low. According to John Hopkins Hospital, “The combined five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer—the percentage of all patients who are living five years after diagnosis—is meager at just 5 to 10 percent” because it is typically caught so late in the game.

Game-changing witness emerges with crucial information that could alter Daniel Penny’s destiny…

“Mr. Neely’s mental health and violent tendencies were so serious that he was previously placed on a “Top 50” list of the most at risk homeless people in the city. Local outreach workers believed he was a potential threat to himself and others.”

(Revolver) A game-changing witness has emerged in the case of Daniel Penny. Mr. Penny, known as the Marine Subway Hero, is currently facing manslaughter charges after restraining Jordan Neely, a violent homeless man who passed away in the process. According to this bombshell witness, on that fateful day aboard a New York City subway train, Mr. Neely, a career criminal, made threats to kill people before Mr. Penny intervened to subdue him….

Washington Post Won’t Return Fake Pulitzer, ‘Stands By’ Russia Reporting

“The media’s goal had nothing to do with the truth and everything to do with coordinating a coup with the FBI against a legally-elected American president.”

(John Nolte – Breitbart) Both the far-left New York Times and Washington Post refuse to return Pulitzers for spreading the lie former President Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election.

Would Hitler return a fake Pulitzer? Continue reading

Hunter Biden case takes stark twist with allegation of retaliation against IRS whistleblower

“Lawyers for whistleblower disclose to lawmakers sudden move, raise concerns of obstruction of congressional probe.”

(John Solomon – Just the News) The Justice Department removed an IRS whistleblower and his entire team from the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden’s taxes in what his lawyers described to Congress on Monday as an act of retaliation and possible obstruction of congressional inquiries, according to correspondence to lawmakers obtained by Just the News. Continue reading

Durham Releases Russia Hoax Report Containing Bombshells

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) Special Counsel John Durham, who was tapped by former Attorney General Bill Barr in May 2019 to get to the bottom of why the FBI launched a probe into the Trump 2016 campaign and Trump administration for “Russian collusion,” has finally issued a 306-page report on the matter.

“The objective facts show that the FBI’s handling of important aspects of the Crossfire Hurricane matter were seriously deficient,” Durham wrote. “Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we conclude that the (Justice) Department and FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report.” Continue reading

False Teacher, Rick Warren Becomes First ‘Honorary Chancellor’ of Spurgeon’s College

“Rick Warren’s Purpose-Driven philosophy is a subtle yet insidious danger to biblical Christianity. It replaces Christ-centered living with self-focused purpose-finding, a move that not only deviates from but directly opposes the teachings of Spurgeon. This is not a mere divergence in philosophy; it is a fundamental misalignment with biblical truth.”

(The Dissenter) Founded in 1856 by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the ‘Prince of Preachers’, Spurgeon’s College in Croydon, London, historically has upheld a legacy of evangelical Christianity. Its founding mission: to train individuals in faithful Gospel proclamation. For nearly two centuries, it has produced generations of Christian leaders grounded in biblical truth, earning a reputation for theological depth and integrity, until recently. Continue reading

See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil

“Paul knew he was a sinner. He wasn’t perfect. He says so in Phil 3:12. He needed the grace of God as much in his sixties as when he was first saved. In fact, over time it appears he recognized how much more he needed it than he ever first believed.”

(Harry Anderson – The Cripplegate) There are twin dangers that we face as believers. The first danger is in viewing sin too highly. The second danger is in seeing sin too lowly. I have seen both errors within Christ’s church… and I have seen them both within myself. There is a fine line that we walk in this life, and it’s easy to fall on one side or the other. Continue reading

At Least 5 Whistleblowers Come Forward Against Biden Family

(Wendell Husebo – Breitbart) At least five whistleblowers have come forward to allege wrongdoing by the Biden family in connection with business schemes and corresponding coverups.

Teachers Get Their Due Two Years After School System Fires Them for Not Getting Vaxxed

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) When the COVID-19 vaccines emerged, the narrative started out as a suggestion that people get should the vaccines (and what would apparently become endless boosters) in order to protect themselves and maybe even save lives. Then, the rallying cry turned to the assertion that getting the vaccine was the right thing to do. You didn’t dare ask questions or express reservations about the vaccines; the expectation was that everyone would just do his or her part. Continue reading
