Why John MacArthur Called Out Tim Keller And Andy Stanley At ShepCon

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) John MacArthur made some waves over the weekend at Shepherd’s Conference, more commonly known as ShepCon when he was not only able to appear but name dropped Tim Keller and Andy Stanley. But the reason why MacArthur called out these two big names is not necessarily the reason you’d expect.

Tim Keller has always been a liberal false teacher, and Andy Stanley has certainly paled in comparison to his father’s reputation…. Continue reading

Vitamin D Reduces Dementia Risk by 40%

“…vitamin D, which cannot be patented, is serious competition for extremely profitable and less efficacious drugs developed by Big Pharma…”

(Ben Bartee – PJ Media) Surely to the chagrin of anti-vitamin D “brought to you by Pfizer” jihadists like CNN, more evidence mounts that increasing your vitamin D levels might be the single most effective strategy for longevity and quality of life. Continue reading

Biden to sign executive order to require background checks on more gun sales

The executive order will increase background checks and prevent firearms dealers without licenses from selling guns.

(Brooke Singman – Fox News) President Biden is expected to announce an executive order on Tuesday that would expand background checks to more firearm sales by expanding the statutory definition of a firearms dealer, the White House said. Continue reading

The Bible Project’s Tim Mackie Says Jesus Practiced Eastern Mysticism, Beware of This Dangerous False Teacher

“It’s like it’s soul level. It’s being level consciousness. And somehow, when you’re in that vulnerable state, human beings are open to reality in a way that we are fully guarded against when we’re in our ego-conscious moments.”

(The Dissenter) We’ve written previously on the highly popular Bible Project which is operated by Tim Mackie. Despite the increasing popularity in his YouTube short clips explaining passages and books of the Bible, Mackie takes a theologically liberal approach to Scripture and much of his explanatory videos include bad or even blatantly false teachings.

Get Ready to Stink for Climate Change, Thanks to Biden’s New Washing Machine Rules

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) “No credible scientific body,” wrote energy and environmental researcher Michael Shellenberger in 2019, “has ever said climate change threatens the collapse of civilization much less the extinction of the human species.” In fact, the whole idea that temperatures are rising to catastrophic levels is based on circular reasoning. But the Biden regime is all in on the climate change myth, and as always, ordinary Americans are the ones who have to pay the price. The latest manifestation of this comes in the form of new regulations for washing machines that make them work less well. Ready to stink to save the planet? You may have no choice. Continue reading

The Left Is Driving Our Children Insane

(The Patriot Post) Vice President Kamala Harris addressed a climate conference in Florida last week.  During her remarks, she spoke about the “climate mental health” struggles that many children and younger adults are facing today.

Harris said some young adults are worried about starting a family.  Why?  Because AOC says the world will be destroyed in 12 years.  That was five years ago, so we’ve only got seven years left.

This is insane! Continue reading

Rep. Comer Says He Has the Goods on Hunter Biden and His Commie $$$

“We’ve had a very good two weeks. We are finally having people cooperate with us. I think we all know the Biden administration is stone-walling. Janet Yellen is stonewalling, not turning over the bank violations.”

(Kevin Downey JR. – PJ Media) Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo on Sunday that people are finally starting to cooperate in the investigation into Hunter Biden’s “business dealings” with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Tim Keller Gives Cancer Update, And It’s Bleak

(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 and thankfully was taking positive steps towards recovery, writing in November of 2020 that his recent CAT scans show continued improvement and the physician is “surprised” and “delighted” with the headway he is having as he burns through rounds of chemotherapy, calling his progress “incredible.” Continue reading

Rick Warren Tells Russell Moore There are Hundreds of Interpretations of ‘Women Pastors’ Passages

“…putting women in the pulpit is a gross violation of a clearly laid out command in multiple places in Scripture and to argue that women can be pastors is just as rebellious as arguing that homosexuals can be Christians.” 

(The Dissenter) Rick Warren recently went on the Russell Moore podcast to complain that his former church is being kicked out of the Southern Baptist Convention over the ordination of women pastors. Continue reading

Bill Johnson and Randy Clark’s ‘Week of Power’ to Be Held at Flagship Assemblies of God Church Raising Questions About the Denomination’s Stance on NAR

“So why would James River Church extend an invitation to Johnson and Clark? It seems inconceivable that the leaders at James River Church would be unaware of the controversial status of Johnson and Clark, their NAR teachings, and the AG’s differing doctrinal stance and protective measures over the AG’s beliefs and practices.”

(Holly Pivec) A “Week of Power”—a five-day conference featuring the “apostles” Bill Johnson and Randy Clark—will be held Sunday, March 12 through Thursday, March 16, at James River Church near Springfield, Missouri, causing some Assemblies of God pastors to ask what this could mean for the future of the Assemblies of God—the world’s largest Pentecostal denomination—and its stance toward the controversial New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement.

Christian, There is Blood on Your Armor

“Many attacks you faced did not come from without but from those appearing to wear similar armor as yours. These surprise attacks caught you off guard more than once, and the injuries were significant. It took time for the bones and bruises to mend. It even reopened some older wounds and knocked you off balance as you lost your footing. Your feet seemed unable to move forward, but suddenly they were equipped and prepared for the work, and you put one foot in front of the other.”

(Doug Eaton – Fight of Faith) There is blood on your armor. It is bent, marred, and scarred with years of service, and your body is worn, tired, and giving way. Not too long ago, your armor was shiny and new. Still wet from the baptismal, you looked down the long and narrow path ahead of you, took your sword into your hand, and set out in service of your King…. Continue reading

Jan. 6 Videos Show Antifa Disguising Selves as Trump Supporters, Trumpers Stopping Vandals

(Catherine Selgado – PJ Media) Previously censored videos of Jan. 6, 2021, are now circulating online and sparking controversy and shock. The videos show people who appear to be Antifa disguising themselves as Trump supporters, and Trump supporters stopping Antifa vandalism. Another video shows a man who said he witnessed Antifa disguising themselves and saying they wanted to make Trump supporters look bad. The eyewitness further insisted the Jan. 6 protesters committing vandalism were not Trump supporters. Continue reading

Jeff Durbin, James White Own Brandan Robertson in Debate On Homosexuality

The other tendency of Robertson is to interpret his post-enlightenment understandings as superior to that which came before, even describing Paul as having an antiquated “patriarchal worldview.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) In December, Sean McDowell entertained “progressive Christian” TikToker Brandan Robertson on his channel, that while disagreeing with Robertson’s views and theology, McDowell gave too much credence to Robertson’s apostacy. On March 9thJeff Durbin and James White of Apologia studios debuted their conversation with Robertson at Apologia Studio where they debated his interpretations of Scripture. Continue reading

‘Proud Boys’ Trial Halted Over Shocking Revelations

Conveniently, they can hide anything under the category “classified,” even exculpatory evidence. A shocking, exculpatory revelation is now called a “snafu.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio, Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola are on trial for seditious conspiracy. The trial was halted today, and it looks like the trial is a complete fraud over some very shocking revelations. Continue reading

The Bible Project co-founder Tim Mackie’s unwise endorsement

In a sermon, Mackie again mentions the “Catholic priest Father Thomas Keating, who I’ve learned a lot about prayer from…”

(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) The Bible Project co-founder Tim Mackie essentially endorsed contemplative Thomas Keating in thForeword to Tyler Staton’s book, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools. According to Mackie, “My hope is that you will come to experience prayer and the presence of God in the way Keating describes it:” Continue reading

Tucker Carlson Calls Out the ‘Professional Christians’

“As high profile as are those “professional Christians,” and given the relatively large platform with which they are blessed, we can be almost certain that if they were speaking the truth on religious liberty, the evil LGBT agenda, and the like, the godless press in America would take note. “Truth makes the Devil blush…If you make the Devil blush, he’s most likely going to come after you, and one of his favorite tools is the American media.”

(Trevor Thomas – American Thinker) In one of his monologues last week, Tucker Carlson called Merrick Garland “the weakest attorney general” in American history. Tucker added, “Merrick Garland has presided over the most aggressive attack on civil liberties, in particular, an attack on the practice of traditional Christianity, than any living American has seen.” Continue reading

John MacArthur Criticizes Tim Keller and Andy Stanley During ShepCon Q & A

Watch John MacArthur’s response to Keller and Stanley’s cultural Christianity.

(Protestia) Pastor John MacArthur took some time during his Shepherds Conference Q &A to answer questions about the role of the pastor, centering in on the need to feed the sheep while critiquing those who have an inordinate focus on giving themselves over to the culture.

In particular, he singled out Tim Keller (who MacArthur has criticized before) and Andy Stanley as two culprits who have been guilty of this. Continue reading

China holds ‘military advantage’ over US as Washington prepares for conflict over Taiwan: retired general

Gen. Jack Keane: “Victory over Taiwan would give Beijing control of South China Sea, greater dominance on world stage”

(Caitlin McFall – Fox News) Concerns over a Chinese invasion of Taiwan continue to mount with Beijing now suspected of involvement in damaging some of the island nation’s undersea internet cables this week in another show of deliberate harassment.

The disruption to Taiwan’s internet was not only a nuisance for the island’s inhabitants and visitors, it also revealed significant implications for Taiwan’s national security. Continue reading

Several US Megachurch Pastors Implicated in Major Alleged Hillsong Tax Fraud Scandal

“The evidence presented by Wilkie allegedly suggests that Hillsong Church has paid American televangelists, such as Joyce Meyer and T.D. Jakes, tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars in honorariums for their engagements with the church.”

Recently, an alleged scandal has emerged which is gaining significant media attention. Australian Parliament member, Andrew Wilkie, has made serious allegations against the leaders of Hillsong Church, namely Brian Houston and Phil Dooley, accusing them of engaging in fraudulent activities such as money laundering and tax evasion….

The Muddy Waters of the Enneagram

“Any scientist who studies personality would simply look at the reliability scores and conclude the test is not accurate enough to be helpful, and therefore, they wouldn’t use it because the potential for harm will be too high.”

(Don & Joy Veinot) One of the newest books promoting the Enneagram to Christians is How We Relate: Understanding God, Yourself, and Others through the Enneagram by Jesse Eubanks. We will grant that Eubanks probably has good intentions and very likely desires to help his readers understand themselves and their relationships. However, we must ask, is the Bible insufficient for faith and practice? Is something needed to fill the void God left in His word regarding human relationships? Is that special something to be found in the Enneagram? Continue reading

Jill Biden Presents an International Woman of Courage Award to a Biological Male

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) First lady Jill Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday hosted the 17th annual International Women of Courage Awards. For the first time, the ceremony took place at the White House, on “the biggest stage we could,” Biden said.

They honored ten women and one biological male transgender.

After John MacArthur Misses Day 1 of Shepherds Conference, Attendees Pray He Makes an Appearance

(Protestia) Thousands of attendees descending on John MacArthur’s annual Shepherds Conference, March 8-10, were disappointed to discover that the beloved pastor would not be preaching his scheduled sermon that day, and that he may not make an appearance altogether. Grace Community Church elder Tom Patton announced that not only was MacArthur, 83, still recovering from heart surgery months ago, but that he had also broken his wrist days before and was not well enough to attend.

Jan. 6 narrative will continue to morph as more security footage emerges

Wisconsin GOP senator says his staff saw footage of a large door left open that allowed more than 300 protesters to enter Capitol.

(John Solomon – Just the News) The Democrat-constructed narrative of the Jan. 6 riot will continue to morph as more security footage from the Capitol emerges and people get to see that hundreds of protesters were let into the Capitol through a door left open and unguarded at times by police, says former Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.).

You Can’t Eradicate ‘Transgender’ People — Because They Don’t Exist

“if men really can’t become women, as they cannot — then it’s false for everybody too. And if it’s false, then we should not indulge it, especially since that indulgence requires taking away the rights and customs of so many people….”

(Selwyn Duke – The New American) Fevered and fearful, or perhaps fearsome, media claimed that Daily Wire podcast host Michael Knowles said in a CPAC speech that “transgender” people should be “eradicated.” While he made no such remark, there’s not even the slightest possibility such a quasi-genocide could occur, for a simple reason: Continue reading
