“The idea here is simple: We honor our leaders by directing our thoughts to them. If they have faithfully led us with regular doses from the Word of God, we should be mindful of them. After all, the Lord has entrusted such men with the care of our souls (Hebrews 13:17).”
(Rick White – Ceal Truth Media) A friend recently told me something with which I strongly agree: “We honor all the wrong men”. While it is true that we ought to esteem “those who labor among us” very highly, it is far too common that many Christians highly esteem those that do not labor among them – usually celebrity pastors, online Christian influencers and leaders of large churches.

“Any precursor to decision making would assume first that one is saved. Apart from Christ, we can do nothing. (John 15:5). Secondly it assumes that the thing you’re undecided about does not involve sin. We never decide toward sin, we flee from sin. ( 2 Timothy 2:22; Genesis 39:12)….” 
(Jesse Johnson – The Cripplegate) When a pastor falls morally, it has an outsized effect on his congregation. There is an uncommon bond between a pastor and his flock. If the gospel is the most important news in the world, and if the gospel transforms a person’s life from the inside out, then it makes sense that people would develop a spiritual relationship with those who minister the word of God to them.
“Trump flew directly to Valdosta to deliver critical supplies to the victims of Helene. Biden was at the beach all weekend.”
(Protestia) Additional details are becoming known concerning the adultery and recent disqualification of former Trinity Bible Church pastor Steve Lawson. According to inside sources speaking to Protestia on condition of anonymity, the fixture in conservative, reformed evangelicalism was “living a double life in the heart of the reformed community.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) What do you get when you have a gaggle of female pastors in support of Kamala Harris? The answer is numerous attempts at justifying abortion. In a recent Evangelicals For Harris women’s “prayer call,” abortion became a top priority on why Evangelicals should support Kamala Harris for president. Evangelical Dark Web infiltrated the prayer call and has clips to unveil.
“When you make decisions based on what climate alarmists say, disaster is sure to follow; not a single climate doom prophecy has come true in many decades.”
“The blind lead the blind, and they wonder why they keep falling into the ditch. The national puppets boast about their “progressive” and “inclusive” policies, but it’s nothing more than a polished veneer on a rotting corpse.”
(Leah Barkoukis – Townhall) Israel has banned United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres from the country over his failure to condemn the latest missile attack from Iran.

“It is important to remember that the promise of Romans 8:28 is not universal. It is not a promise to every human being, but to “those who love God and are called according to His purpose.” For those outside of Christ, suffering may only lead to judgment and eternal separation from God. But for those who love God, this passage offers a profound hope.”
“Lausanne’s statement certainly appears to be a deliberate attempt to undermine the biblical view of sexuality. When did we start confusing love with the affirmation of sin?”
(Matt Vespa – Townhall) We have reports that Israeli forces have invaded Lebanon. It was a military operation many observers foresaw even in the immediate stages of the ground war in Gaza after the October 7 attacks. The rocket attacks from Hezbollah have led to an internal displacement crisis within Israel.
“The typical evangelical Christian is not only disconnected from his father and grandfather, but also from his great-grandfathers, in particular the civil and ecclesial fathers who self-consciously laid the foundations of Western society on the firm bedrock of Christian faith and practice.”
“The days immediately after 9/11 were perhaps our best and only chance to reset the post-Cold War order. We didn’t, and the battle lines today illustrate that radical Islam has advanced remorselessly and virtually unopposed against the remaining bastions of Western civilization. Keep in mind that this is with no cease-fire, truce, or armistice in place with our enemies. Just because we’ve unilaterally chosen not to fight them doesn’t mean they’ve reciprocated. Why would they?”
Robert Morris was the long-time pastor of Gateway Church. Currently, Max Lucado is the interim pastor of Gateway while they transition to find new leadership. Gateway Church boasted 100k attendance. Gateway Church is a typical charismatic, egalitarian, multicampus megachurch.”
“We are called to guard the gospel, to stand firm in the truth, and to reject anything that contradicts the Word of God. False teachers are wolves, and they will tear apart the flock if we let them. So don’t be fooled. Train your powers of discernment, test the spirits, and be a Berean. Because the stakes couldn’t be higher. Souls are at risk, and the truth of the gospel is too precious to compromise.”

“By including the compliments and history between Lawson and MacArthur, Roys is sinisterly going for guilt by association. Meanwhile, she has already started labeling Lawson an abuser, going so far as to cite a Texas law against clergy sexual abuse.”
