“Biblical waiting involves embracing that you’re not in control, but you can talk to the one who is. You don’t know what’s going on, so you seek the one who does.”
(Mark Vroegop) Do you know anyone who likes to wait? I don’t.
If you were to take a quick survey, there’d be a strong consensus that waiting is difficult, annoying, or downright bad. Waiting should be avoided and not affirmed, right? Everyone knows that! Continue reading
“I’ve honestly stopped worrying about the campaign and I have one question. Who is running the White House today? Who is making decisions today? I’m not really worried about the presidency in January. I’m worried about it right now. We have serious problems going on right now and I don’t really think Joe Biden is up to the task today, let alone seven months from today.”
(Rebecca Downs – Townhall) Scott Jennings has provided a thoughtful and much needed conservative voice to CNN, who is often validated with his points about President Joe Biden’s decline. On Wednesday morning during “CNN News Central,” he pointed out the shameful “big lie” that has been going on this election cycle when it comes to gaslighting about the president’s mental acuity. Continue reading
“BioLogos, along with its figureheads like the late Tim Keller and Francis Collins, is actively working to erode the foundation of Christianity. They promote a version of faith that is palatable to the secular world but utterly devoid of the power of the gospel. These so-called Evangelical leaders are nothing more than wolves in sheep’s clothing, spreading false teachings that lead people away from God….”
(The Dissenter) This morning, I ran across an article by Gregory Adaka on BioLogos that claims you can reconcile faith in the living God with the religion of evolution—an increasingly popular claim in Christendom, yet a claim that is as absurd as it is dangerous. Continue reading
(Mark Swanson – Newsmax) Karoline Leavitt, national press secretary for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, told Newsmax on Tuesday that first lady Jill Biden has to answer for “lying” to the American people about her husband’s cognitive decline.
But the bigger issue, Leavitt told “Prime News,” is that as her husband’s caretaker, it’s incumbent on Jill Biden to convince President Joe Biden to step down as the party’s nominee. Instead, it’s more likely she and the president’s family will “shuffle him over the finish line in November.” Continue reading
(Mary Dowling) Pfizer and Moderna are preparing for the imaginary “influenza pandemic” with an mRNA vaccine. The Biden regime is giving Moderna $176 million to develop the shot.
The vaccine will also treat bird flu in humans, which is currently no problem. Since humans already have a bird flu vaccine, they’ll just adopt it. It will cost millions in tax dollars.
The US taxpayer is keeping Moderna afloat. It relies on the government, which is never a good thing for healthcare. Continue reading
“Trying to make it sound like the only reason Rick Warren ordained women to the pastorate was for “tax benefits,” he then goes on to start his diatribe against Southern Baptists and defense of Warren…”
(The Dissenter) As we’ve reported here at The Dissenter many times over the years, Andy Stanley, the liberal, LGBTQ-affirming, Scripture-twisting false pastor extraordinaire, has once again proven that theological acrobatics and doctrinal contortionism are alive and well in modern evangelicalism. Continue reading
“The accumulation of wealth by America’s religious leaders is an under-reported story because few religion reporters engage in data journalism. To understand the big picture requires identifying the property assets of hundreds of pastors and ministry leaders to build an informative data set. Adding to the challenge, the most expensive real estate is often hidden in trusts or shell companies and privacy laws in some states complicate the process of identifying property owners. Informants have played an important role in identifying and confirming some of the properties.”
(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) Beach houses and beach condos along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts have become the vacation homes of choice for America’s wealthiest pastors.
In 2017, Joel Osteen purchased a beach house in Newport Coast, California, for $5 million. Recently, the Redfin real estate website estimated Osteen’s second home to be worth $11 million. Continue reading
“While we may notice only the seen world, this battle in the heavenly realm is just as real as the earthly. Many dismiss this evaluation as fictional and childish, perhaps even comical. This is just as Satan desires. We must look deeper with Biblical insight and spiritual eyes. Wise men and women of God know that the true followers of Christ are both the objects of Satan’s attacks and the warriors in the King’s army.”
(Bill Elliff) How do we interpret the increasing evil around us? The depraved thinking that shouts wrong as right? The diabolical deception wrapping its tentacles around our children? The sexual depravity that is not only openly practiced but promoted, applauded, and exported? The rapid rise of violence and crime? Once beautiful and orderly cities spiraling into anarchy and chaos? Continue reading
“These despicable people are putting their own venal wants above the good of the nation. They all know Biden’s mental state is putting the nation in danger. As a believer, I, like the crafters of the Declaration of Independence, believe God has imposed the most favored nation status on the United States. That’s what we celebrate on July 4: freedom granted to us as a human right.”
(Bill O’Reilly) So what now? The world’s most powerful country finds itself in a political conundrum. President Biden has been unmasked before the entire world. What was definitively known by only a few Biden insiders is now an undeniable fact: the most powerful man in the world is mentally diminished beyond fixing. Continue reading
“Jill and the Biden family plan to continue on, but if his poll numbers prove he can’t win, anything could happen at the August convention. They could hand-pick the next president.”
(Mary Dowling) Some California donors to Joe Biden said to stick with Joe since they aren’t electing just one but many. They are voting for a “team,” suggesting Democrats know he’s a figurehead and we are run by an unaccountable team propping him up.
Tucker has a different perspective. Continue reading
“That change, of course, this late in the game can’t happen unless it comes from the top. That’s why I feel it’s critically important that the people around him are honest with themselves and the American people.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) We know about the shorter stairs Joe Biden uses to board and deplane Air Force One and the special shoes he wears. But according to a new report, Biden’s disastrous debate performance caught even many White House staffers off guard. Continue reading
Julie Kelly: Not only does this passage blow a major hole in Jack Smith’s J6 indictment but eviscerates the “insurrection” narrative. (link below)
(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 – citing Article II of the U.S. Constitution – that former President Donald Trump in his official capacity, and more broadly the office of the United States presidency, has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion and was joined by Justices Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Justices Elena Kagan, Kentanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented. Continue reading
“We cannot stand with Roman Catholics, Modalists, Prosperity Gospel preachers, many Charismatics, and adherents to doctrines that pervert the grace of God and reject the doctrine of the penal substitutionary atonement. Jude 1:4 says these people who deny our Master are condemned. Scripture is very clear that we should not associate with these people.”
(The Dissenter) When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. —Winston Churchill
In the Christian world, there is a massive assault on denominations and doctrinal divide. After all, we’re all believers and followers of Jesus Christ, right? If so, what’s the purpose of division? Why can’t we just all suck it up and get along? Doesn’t Jesus want us to be united (Philippians 2:2)? 1 Peter 3:8 says, Continue reading
“Biden didn’t just have a bad night. Obama thinks we’re all stupid. Biden is on his way out mentally and perhaps physically. He is unfit, yet Obama doesn’t give a hoot because all that matters is the Marxist ideology.”
(Mary Dowling) Former president Barack Obama weighed in on Joe Biden’s historically humiliating performance last night, commiserating with Joe, saying, “Bad debate nights happen.”
“Bad debate nights happen,” Barack posted on X. “Trust me, I know…. Continue reading
Is there no end to Bill Johnson’s heretical teaching? At this point No! I warned you in Bethel Redding is a Shark Tank – Woe to Bethel that the “church” in Redding CA is operated by “soothsayers who think nothing of manipulating people out of their hard-earned money to grow their demonic empire–oops–church. These men and women think nothing of twisting Scripture into a theological pretzel, in fact Scripture-twisting is what they do best. Churchgoers may or may not be aware that what they’re being taught is not orthodox biblical Christianity. On the contrary. What they’re being taught is downright heresy!” Now we learn that “Apostle” Bill Johnson is leading his congregation deeper and deeper into deception. Protestia has the report: Continue reading
This is a company that either seems to understand the values of its customer base—the hardworking people who feed America and keep rural communities thriving—or simply doesn’t want to be the next Target™
(The Dissenter) Corporate America has largely abandoned the average American to embrace the petty causes of far-left special interest groups. But one company is taking a stand. Tractor Supply Co., a breath of fresh air and common sense in the midst of corporate insanity, says it has listened to the voices of its loyal customers and decided to reject the leftist agenda that has plagued so many businesses. Continue reading
(Matt Vespa – Townhall) The Supreme Court has taken a judicial katana to a statute that federal prosecutors weaponized to go after those who participated in the January 6 incident. The question before the court was whether the “obstruction of an official proceeding” statute could be used in how the Justice Department weaponized it to go after hundreds of January 6 defendants. As SCOTUS Blog covered in April, the plaintiff, Joseph Fischer, a former police officer, argued that the statute only pertained to evidence tampering in a congressional investigation. During oral arguments, justices weren’t convinced by the government’s interpretation, arguing that it could cast too much of a net. Continue reading
(Protestia) Cindy Clemishire reportedly asked disgraced Gateway Church pastor Robert Morris for $2 million to prevent her from going public with accusations of his molestation of her as a child.
According to a new report from NBC News, a former member of Gateway’s IT department provided the news organization with transcripts from a previously unreported September 2005 phone call between Clemishire and Robert and Cindy Morris, with the three discussing her molestation and what ought to be done about it. Continue reading
“Maybe a Chevron blizzard—a crisis, if you will—could be the impetus Congress needs to roll back federal regulations and send issues back to state and local governments—or families—where they rightly belong. I’m not going to get my hopes up, but you never know.”
(Paula Bolyard – PJ Media) Today, the Supreme Court voted to overrule the so-called Chevron deference in a 6-3 decision. The ruling is a HUGE victory for those who hate the massive power the administrative state has amassed in recent decades.
Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, concluded: “Chevron is overruled.” Continue reading
“For more than a century the United States has been living under “two Constitutions.” One is the original Constitution that secures consent of the governed, rule of law, and government of the people, by the people, and for the people. The second Constitution, or regime, is that of the “living Constitution,” which…is essentially totalitarian because it recognizes no limits on its powers.”
(Joy Pullmann – The Federalist) It was a little pathetic to watch Joe Biden on stage last night mumble so incoherently that nobody could doubt he’s simply a figurehead for leader of the free world. It raises the thought: While he’s been presented as president for three and a half years, who has really been executing the powers and duties of the office? Continue reading
Do not take this lightly. It is a horrible thing for a man like myself to look back and see my country and my culture go down the drain in my own lifetime. It is a horrible thing that forty years ago you could move across this country and almost everyone, even non-Christians, would have known what the gospel was. A horrible thing that thirty to forty years ago our culture was built on the Christian consensus and now we are in an absolute minority. – Francis Schaeffer
(Bill Muehlenberg – Cultural Watch) If you are an older person raised in the West – as I am – you will have lived through three different periods: Christian, post-Christian, and anti-Christian. You would have been born in a largely Christian period, in which most folks – even if they were not actually Christian themselves – shared and believed in biblical truths and values…. Continue reading
Dig a little deeper, and you’ll often find financial misconduct, greed, and sometimes even more sordid sins lurking in the shadows. The Scripture is clear: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils”
(The Dissenter) The modern church landscape is rife with wolves in sheep’s clothing, those charlatans who twist the Scriptures for their own personal gain. It’s not just the galling falsehoods they preach—whether it be the prosperity gospel, egalitarianism, the New Apostolic Reformation, or the social justice gospel—that should alarm us. It’s the stench of unrepentant sin that often wafts from their ministries, revealing the rotten core beneath their polished veneers. Continue reading
“Don’t be fooled—President Trump knows exactly what he’s doing by agreeing to this CNN debate. He’s aware that just announcing his participation would unleash a treasure trove of past (and present) left-wing hysteria from moderators like Tapper, Dana Bash, and other regime-loving hacks at CNN.”
(Revolver) Jake Tapper is catching major flak from all sides, and rightfully so. Instead of using his platform to deliver actual news and facts to CNN’s dwindling audience, Tapper has chosen to spread hate, propaganda, and lies. At his worst, he comes off like a hysterical white liberal, “Karen,” completely overtaken by Stage 5 TDS…. Continue reading
“Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have revealed how, in the final weeks before the 2020 presidential election, 51 former intelligence officials coordinated with the Biden campaign to discredit serious allegations about Biden family influence peddling.”
(Rebecca Downs – Townhall) The saga of Hunter Biden’s laptop returns to the news, nearly four years after 51 intelligence officials signed onto a letter dismissing the very legitimate concerns as Russian disinformation…. Continue reading
(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) Three unnamed and broadly defined “U.S. officials” spoke to NBC about a disturbing report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The report revealed that 400 illegal immigrants from southeast Asia have been slipped into our country over the southern border by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network. More than 50 of them have disappeared.
FACT-O-RAMA! ISIS and its sister terror myrmidons in ISIS-K have been recently committing brutal terror attacks in Russia. DHS has since been taking a closer look at illegal immigrants from Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, and Tajikistan, where ISIS-K has been recruiting. Continue reading
