“First, for Lawson, it is far better to expose your sin and have the possibility of confession, repentance, and forgiveness than for the sin to remain hidden until the judgment. It is infinitely better for sin to be revealed than for it to remain concealed—even though it rarely feels that way in the moment. No ministry success can compare to our fellowship with the risen Christ. To know Him is far better than even to preach Him (Phil 3:10)”
(Grant Castleberry – Unashamed Truth) I was shocked three weeks ago to find out about the moral failure and disqualification of Steven Lawson from ministry due to an adulterous relationship with a younger woman. In many ways, I am still shocked. I attended Lawson’s Bible study in Dallas when I served at a church in the metroplex, which met at Herb’s Coffee Shop off Greenville Avenue. After the Bible study, Steve and I would talk about preaching and Jonathan Edwards. Steve was always kind to me, and I looked up to him as one of the stalwarts and baton carriers in the reformed evangelical movement. Earlier this year, I did a short interview about his preaching with David Wheaton of The Christian Worldview (listen at the 48-minute mark). And I have written about his preaching at Unashamed Truth.

“To seek relevance therefore requires not capitulation to, or emulation of, the infantile, but rather a recapturing of what it means to be an adult. The church must bear witness to a grown-up faith. That means that we need a renewed sense of the holy, the sacred, and the transcendent. And that must start at the top, where it is too often most absent. The X feeds of many of the loudest Christian pastors today indicate little difference from the categories, attitudes, and preoccupations of secular leaders.”

Halloween is a devil’s holiday, not a Christian observance.
“If these numbers are even close to accurate, then some profound and unprecedented influence has driven this dramatic rise. That is most likely a “social contagion.” The phenomenon refers to the spread of behaviors, ideas, and attitudes through peer influence, media exposure, and cultural shifts.”

“President Biden heartily endorses the Iran nuclear deal—which President Trump canceled––and has let Israel know that he adamantly opposes Israel attacking Iran’s nuclear sites. This is the same Iran whose stated mission for decades has been to eradicate “The Big Satan” (America) and to exterminate from the face of the earth “The Little Satan” (Israel).”
“The database also records what medical facilities are providing these harmful “treatments” to kids, from puberty blockers to surgeries to cross-sex hormones. The majority of transgender youth are depressed and more likely to be suicidal, and most children naturally grow out of gender dysphoria if allowed to do so.”
(Jim Hoft – Gateway Pundit) This is the definition of election interference.
“What does this say about those who support the Democrat party? To vote for Democrats in the face of this evil is to become complicit in their wickedness. There’s no middle ground here. You can’t claim to be a Christian and turn a blind eye to the destruction of the family and the sexual exploitation of children.”

Yes, the government is actively modifying the weather. They tell the media it is to “combat climate change”. Wouldn’t it be appropriate for a journalist to ask the obvious question, “Is it safe?”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Pastor Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist Church, a prominent Southern Baptist megachurch in Texas. On Sunday, Jack Graham and Mike Huckabee announced a new fixture at Prestonwood Baptist Church, a “facsimile” modeled after the Western Wall of Jerusalem, a holy site for Talmudic Jews.

“Agitators also reportedly accosted pro-Israel protestors in the city. One video shows a man pull an Israeli flag out of his coat pocket, at which point a pro-Hamas anarchist attempts to grab it away from him. After a brief scuffle, another pro-Hamas demonstrator repeatedly hits the man with her tambourine.”

“…Robert Morris and Tom Lane promised on multiple occasions that if the congregation is not happy with the use of its money, it can get the money back.”
When people say we should “only listen to Jesus,” what they’re really saying is they don’t want to listen to all of what God has to say. Because, let’s be clear—Paul’s words are God’s words. They were inspired by the Holy Spirit. And it’s not just Paul making that claim either, it’s the apostolic testimony. Peter himself refers to Paul’s letters as Scripture in 2 Peter 3:15-16, mentioning how some people twist Paul’s words just as they do “the other Scriptures.”
“These institutions play a pivotal role in training the next generation, which is why Marxist entities, as well as well-heeled pro-Sharia states such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, have targeted them for so very long.”
