America is NO Longer a Democracy or a Republic but a Uniparty

“In a democracy, eligible citizens fully dictate how they’re governed — everyone who’s eligible votes on proposed laws and regulations, and the majority wins. The minority doesn’t have power or protection from the majority because there’s no charter or constitution protecting individual rights. Consequently, the majority has absolute power and can impose its will on the minority.”

(Mark Schwendau) There is a battle going on between those who support Joe Biden and those who support Donald Trump for the presidency. Joe Biden is constantly bashing MAGA Republicans as “…a threat to our democracy”. The Trump supporters are responding, “We are not a democracy, idiot; we are a constitutional republic!” Continue reading

Why Do Evangelical Churches Look So Much Like the Secular Culture Around Them?

“It’s high time for us to rise up, dust off our Bibles, and stand firm on the solid rock of God’s Word. We must reject the temptation to bow down to the idols of modern culture and instead be unwavering ambassadors for Christ. Our mission is to spread the Gospel, call sinners to repentance, and uphold the truth that there is no salvation apart from Jesus.”

(The Dissenter) As the eschatological clock continues to tick, and as we ever approach Christ’s return, it seems like every self-promoting, virtue-signaling Evangelical has jumped on the bandwagon of ever-shifting cultural movements. These trends, ranging from the use of preferred pronouns to a misguided “compassion” for mothers willing to take their unborn children to be killed on the altar of convenience, have been creeping into our churches and our homes watering down the truth of God in His word and robbing Him of His glory in creation.

Must Watch Megyn Kelly video. This is what’s REALLY happening.

(Johnathan Jones – The Western Journal) A new report claims Fox News might refuse to release Tucker Carlson from his contract in a decision that could sideline the former primetime superstar until one month after the 2024 presidential election.

Matthew Boyle with Breitbart News published a lengthy piece late on Thursday that cited multiple current and former Fox News employees as sources who spoke about the state of the network. Continue reading

Huge Fox News Settlement Raises Stakes for Christians Who Made Similar Statements

(Steve Rabey – Ministry Watch) Lies have consequences, as Fox News confirmed when it agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787.5 million for repeatedly broadcasting election fraud falsehoods that defamed the company. Fox faces more lawsuits.

So do five Christian influencers who used their public platforms to make statements similar to the ones that cost Fox hundreds of millions of dollars.  Attempting to hold these Christian influencers accountable is Dominion executive Eric Coomer, who was doxed, faces death threats, and repeatedly changes residences to protect his family’s safety. Continue reading

America’s Greatest Threat: Not Transgenderism, Not LGBTQ, Not Progressivism, but God Himself

“As we witness the encroaching darkness in our nation, we must remain steadfast in the knowledge that our hope lies not in our own efforts but in the finished work of Christ on the cross. We are saved by faith alone, through grace alone, in Christ alone.”

(The Dissenter) “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28)

In these modern times, when the moral fabric of our nation is stretched thin and the cacophony of discord echoes from sea to shining sea, it is easy to fall into the trap of fearing only the tangible threats that beset us…. Continue reading

Enough With the Mentally Unstable Climate Hysteria

“These days I question everything, especially when I see climate protesters being treated in a way that no one else would be treated in similar circumstances. Why was my son—who was just leaning toward a painting to get a better look at it—a greater threat to the art than vandals smearing paint on the Degas ballerina? It doesn’t add up.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Even the most pleasant among us would have to admit that things in the world aren’t the greatest these days, especially here in Joe Biden’s America…. Continue reading

Disarray Consumes Fox News as Murdochs Attempt to Reassert Control with Carlson, Bongino Ousters

(Breitbart – Matthew Boyle) Fox News is trying to sideline former Tucker Carlson Tonight host Tucker Carlson through the 2024 election, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News.

Carlson’s current contract runs through December 2024, and as of now three sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that executives at the network are trying to keep Carlson on contract and not release him until after the 2024 election. The shocking decision to cancel Carlson’s top-rated weeknight program came just days after the network shut down its top-rated weekend program with host Dan Bongino…. Continue reading

Fox News To Anheuser Busch: ‘Hold My Gay Bud Light’

“Reports indicate that Fox News had become increasingly hostile to Carlson’s brand of on-air commentary, but the decision to cut him loose has cost Fox $800 million. On Wednesday night, Carlson released a short video hinting at his future plans. It got more viewers in one hour than Tucker’s old 8:00 p.m. timeslot got on Fox that night.”

(Sarah Weaver – Daily Caller) Not too long ago, several prominent Republicans and Democrats called for former Fox News host Tucker Carlson to be taken off the air for his reporting on the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the capitol. Well, he’s off the air now, but Fox News is paying a steep price. Continue reading

Living With Adversity – And Purpose

“Do you have a purpose in life? Are you making a difference in the lives of others? Or is your world so small and narrow that if you get a flat tire or come down with the flu or have a rough day at the office that we come to feel that God does not exist and that he does not love you anymore?”

(Bill Muehlenberg – Culture Watch) Is there purpose in your life – even amidst great suffering?

The contrast could not be greater. Simply flicking channels on the television can show up the most glaring differences. On the one hand you might come upon a documentary or program about folks going through horrific suffering and hardship…. Continue reading

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) On Wednesday evening, Tucker Carlson released a video statement—his first since parting ways with Fox News.

“One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country,” Carlson began…. Continue reading

Practicing Discernment and Marking False Teachers is Not ‘Casting Stones,’ It’s an Act of Love

“While our hope is always for repentance, our first duty is to defend the Church and the gospel entrusted to her by marking and avoiding those who wreak havoc among her.”

(The Dissenter) In the biblical narrative of John 8:7, we find an account of a woman caught in the act of adultery. The religious leaders of the day, eager to test Jesus, brought the woman before Him and asked if she should be stoned according to the Law of Moses. Jesus, in His infinite wisdom, responded with the now-famous words, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”… Continue reading

Global Anglicans Issue Statement: ‘We Cannot Walk Together’ with Apostate Anglicans in Church of England

“We reject the claim that two contradictory positions can both be valid in matters affecting salvation. We cannot ‘walk together’ in good disagreement with those who have deliberately chosen to walk away from the ‘faith once for all delivered to the saints’ (Jude 3).

(Protestia) Following the February 2023 decision to bless and affirm same-sex marriage by the Church of England, the global conference of Conservative Anglicans, GAFCON, has issued the Kigali Commitment, a scathing response to the apostasy that has inundated the Church of England. Continue reading

Evangelicals Might Ditch Fox News After the Breakup

“Tucker made mistakes, but overall, he was giving us a lot of accurate information that we didn’t necessarily get elsewhere. Fox has a decent-sized megaphone.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) According to an interview on Newsmax with Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, Fox News could be the big loser in the breakup with Tucker Carlson.

“I think this tells us a lot more about Fox than it does Tucker Carlson. This is the continuation of Fox’s devolution.” said Mr. Perkins. Continue reading

We Have to Stop Joe Biden

“Biden talks about freedom, yet he’s targeting your Second Amendment rights with calls for gun bans and by signing executive orders. Government bureaucrats, with his endorsement, have violated the First Amendment through Big Tech censorship.”

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) It’s official. President Joe Biden is running for re-election and taking Vice President Kamala Harris along with him. Continue reading

The woman who brought down Tucker?

(Revolver) Abby Grossberg is a woman you will likely hear a lot about in the coming days. She was Tucker Carlson’s former producer and was recently fired for inappropriate actions regarding the Dominion lawsuit.

Grossberg has a history of working with left-wing organizations before she landed at Fox News. And by the looks of her resume, it’s very likely that she never had much love for Tucker or his conservative views to begin with…. Continue reading

The Snare of the Prosperity Gospel: A Seductive and Dangerous Emotional Trap

“The prosperity gospel taps into our fears and vulnerabilities. For those experiencing illness or financial hardship, the idea that faith in God can lead to healing and wealth is a powerful message. It’s easy to see why so many people find hope and solace in this doctrine.”

(The Dissenter) The prosperity gospel is like a shimmering mirage in the desert of life, enticing the weary traveler with promises of a lush oasis just within reach. As they approach, hope fills their heart, only to find that the closer they get, the further the illusion recedes, leaving them parched and disillusioned, realizing they’ve been chasing a fantasy. Continue reading

Prominent Christian Influencer Says Belief in Trinity is a Non-Essential Issue

“Mark Driscoll and James MacDonald were co-conspirators in the Great Evangelical Coverup that gave the prosperity-preaching heretic the respectability of orthodoxy that was trumpeted all across the evangelical landscape, from The Christian Post to Christianity Today.”

(Protestia) Former megachurch pastor and current church-growth guru Tim Ross has claimed the belief in the Trinity is a non-essential issue and that Trinity-deniers have a “fidelity to Jesus Christ.” Continue reading

Bud Light Sales Dive ‘Staggering’ 17% on Trans Flap

“Over the weekend, the historic company, founded in 1852 in St. Louis, Missouri, announced that the two marketing executives who were the brains behind the Mulvaney campaign, Alissa Heinerscheid and Daniel Blake, were each taking leaves of absence.”

(Lee Barney – NewsMax) Bud Light, the largest beer brand in the U.S. before the Dylan Mulvaney transgender furor, has suffered a 17% decline in dollar sales and a 34.7% plunge in volume at restaurants and bars, the New York Post reports. Continue reading

Fox News ‘Is Dead,’ and Tucker Carlson Is Already Living Large With a Job Offer

“Megyn Kelly told her podcast audience on Monday that Carlson could look forward to “blue, blue skies ahead. He’s got a bright future. A more joyous, brighter, and more lucrative future.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Fox News “is dead,” and Tucker Carlson already has his first job offer. It came within hours of the shocking announcement that he and Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Corporation were “parting ways.” Who took the biggest hit? It looks like Fox News has. Continue reading

“We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” the press release from the network said. Continue reading

Possible links between Covid shots and tinnitus emerge

People who have developed life-altering ringing in their ears after Covid vaccinations demand deeper investigation into this potential side effect.

(Erika Edwards – NBC News) Thousands of people say they’ve developed tinnitus after they were vaccinated against Covid. While there is no proof yet that the vaccines caused the condition, theories for a possible link have surfaced among researchers. Continue reading

Older Adults May Reverse Cognitive Decline With One Simple Strategy

(Ben Bartee – PJ Media) From time immemorial, that adults lose cognitive ability over time has been taken for granted. The conventional wisdom is that loss of mental faculties is a natural consequence of the aging process.

However, recent research published in Aging and Mental Health calls that assumption into question, demonstrating that, in fact, not only can cognitive decline be prevented through lifestyle interventions alone, but it can potentially be reversed through cognitive gains even late in life. Continue reading

What Are Legalism and Antinomianism?

“Antinomianism works on people’s consciences by convincing them that God does not require us to turn from our wicked ways. Antinomianism presents a Christianity that requires no personal effort or spiritual striving against sin. It offers a counterfeit freedom to the true freedom that Christ gives believers.

(Ligonier) What are legalism and antinomianism?

The terms legalism and antinomianism describe two false teachings regarding the relationship between the law and the gospel. Legalism is the insistence that a person is accepted by God on the basis of his law keeping. It teaches that we are declared righteous before God through our own observance of either God’s law or man-made rules and regulations. Continue reading
