“It got me thinking about when evil is hidden by outward beauty, or kindness in good deeds, or even just lots of smiles (i.e. Joel Osteen), how few people discern. I hear so often that so-and-so cannot possibly be a false teacher because she is so kind…nice…joyful.”
(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) On old TV show The Twilight Zone one of the most famous episodes was The Masks (1964). In New Orleans during Mardi Gras, a dying millionaire father calls his brutish, oafish, vain, greedy family to his side one last time before he dies. They arrive by train from Boston, giddy at the notion of inheriting millions but not caring their dad was dying. Dressed to the nines and looking lovely, the family gathers to the father’s side.

“Of course, anyone who has watched the videos of the incident could see that Good attempted to run over the ICE agent. As for whether Good was even a part of the effort to impede ICE, the witness did not hesitate.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Independent journalist Nick Shirley’s back at it, and his second Minnesota fraud video packs the same explosive punch as the first.
“His wife, Janet, to whom he’s been married for 55 years, also said in a statement…”

(Michelle Lesley) First, Michelle explains her criteria for doing research on authors, pastors, and Bible teachers that she receives a lot of questions about asking if she recommends them. Not long ago a number of readers asked about Tara-Leigh Cobble, host of The Bible Recap, a daily podcast, The God Shot, a daily radio show, as well as D Group. Here’s Michelle’s recommendation (scroll down until you see the article).
“The mainstream media won’t be able to cover for the Dems. More than anything else, that’ll be the ultimate PR fallout of Tim Walz’s political demise: The Somali fraud scandal is going to explode BIG TIME.”
“We are living in an era where loyalty and courage are prized virtues instead of winsomeness or niceness.”
“Ironically, at the same time the US Special Forces were physically removing Nicolas Maduro and his awful wife from their supposedly secure Caracas compound, the 34-year-old daughter of actor Tommy Lee Jones collapsed in San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel. Dead. Fentanyl-laced narcotics.”
“Make no mistake, Democrats’ resistance to federal investigations into the Somali fraud points to a corrupt, mutually beneficial arrangement. Somali-run childcare centers and meal programs siphon off taxpayer money, then recycle some of it back into Democratic campaigns. Appeasing a reliable voting bloc plays a role, but the real payoff is money and power for the Democratic Party. Democrats have spent years building an elaborate ecosystem that turns public programs into campaign-funding pipelines, all at taxpayer expense.”
“Maduro, who has maintained himself in power through a series of sham presidential elections, is actively wanted by U.S. authorities on multiple narco-terrorism charges. The U.S. has an active $50 million bounty on information leading to Nicolás Maduro’s arrest and/or conviction.”
(John Solomon – Just the News) Attorney General Pam Bondi told Just the News that she has asked prosecutors to investigate the Obama-Biden era of lawfare as an ongoing election-meddling conspiracy that protected Democrats from criminal investigation and infringed the civil rights of Republicans like President Donald Trump and his supporters.
“The press extinguished due process a long time ago, headlining anything lurid with little perspective or restraint. The evil lawyers understand that no fact-finding will take place as they hawk their blackmail techniques on television. You people know who you are. Have fun spending the blood money. But remember, the reaper will have something very special in store for you.”
“Civilizational Protestantism rested on a confidence that Christian faith was no mere private consolation or a sectarian preference, but a moral inheritance capable of ordering the common life. Its builders believed that Christianity could produce better leaders, more humane institutions, and a more just society. This confidence did not require perfection or coercion. It required the conviction that Christianity, rightly lived, was a blessing to the nation—and therefore something that ought to be publicly expressed, publicly defended, and publicly institutionalized.”
“Through a series of personal scandals and the broader collapse of credibility surrounding social justice and Covid narratives, the second generation lost much of its authority. I do not want to overstate this. The Gospel Coalition still hosts a well attended biannual conference. But the momentum has shifted. The third generation of the Young, Restless, and Reformed effectively marks the end of the movement as a movement.”
“Having reviewed the revised version submitted by your office, I must respectfully decline to endorse it in its current form. The document has undergone substantial modifications and contains significant deletions of information that, in some instances, alter the conclusions originally presented.”
“…social media encourages a pastor to pander. Influencers live and die by their audience. One of the driving goals is always to grow that audience, and you do that by giving people what performs well. Over time, you learn what your audience craves, and you keep serving it to them. … it’s rare to see influencers confront their own audience in any serious way, especially in ways that rebuke a negative tendency. Instead, their default is to flatter and pander. That’s not because they’re uniquely dishonest people. It’s because that’s what grows a platform.”
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Christianity holds to the view that prayer is of the leading of the Holy Spirit. Octavius Winslow put it in these words:
(Virgil Walker – Sola Veritas) And every once in a while I see an expression on a parent’s face that makes me pause. It usually happens after a sermon, or while we’re walking to the parking lot, or in the back of a quiet corner of the church where they think no one notices their eyes. It’s a cocktail of confusion, and sadness, and something that feels like fear. Parents of adult kids who have that look on their face I’ve seen people have in front of a grave.
(Roger Helle – The Patriot Post) It’s easy to get distracted this time of year — if not by the rush of holiday shopping and looking for the perfect gift, then by the horrible news that seems to get darker and darker every year. Recently, though, it seems to get darker and darker every week!
“Marriage has been openly mocked and replaced with a counterfeit, and Chick-fil-A’s brand is being used to celebrate it. The institution God established in Genesis and affirmed by Christ Himself is now reduced to a prop for social approval.”
