NAR False Apostle Denies Trinity on Stage at TPUSA Faith Pastors Summit

“Che Ahn’s statement doesn’t just dip its toes into a pool of heresy, it dives headlong into it.”

(The Dissenter) If you think TPUSA is the guardian of conservative values, think again. Led by Charlie Kirk, this organization is nothing short of a Trojan horse in the conservative movement. While it claims to champion conservatism, it’s busy platforming and promoting ideologies that are anything but conservative—like embracing the LGBTQ movement to platforming heretics to blaspheme God.

TPUSA isn’t conserving the moral standards set forth by God—it’s diluting them, turning conservatism into a self-serving ideology aimed at broadening its base….. Continue reading

What Happened on Reformation Day?

Luther recaptured the biblical view of the priesthood of all believers, showing all people that their work had purpose and dignity because in it they can serve their Creator.

(Robert Rothwell – Ligonier Ministries) On October 31, much of the culture will be focused on candy and things that go bump in the night. Protestants, however, have something far more significant to celebrate on October 31. It’s Reformation day, which commemorates what was perhaps the greatest move of God’s Spirit since the days of the Apostles. But what is the significance of Reformation Day, and how should we consider the events it commemorates? Continue reading

Dirty Jill

Of course, by that time, the “poorest man in Congress” and his wife owned two homes, including the 4,000-square-foot, six-bedroom Rehobeth Beach, Del., colonial and their ten-acre Wilmington manse “that Joe famously designed himself… with a big swimming pool…”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) “You gotta run. Because there’s so much at stake,” Jill Biden claims she urged her shuffling, addled husband before he undertook his 2020 basement campaign for president. Joe Biden, like the entire country, economy, and everything he touches, has gotten worse every day of his term of office…. Continue reading

Catholic Priest Warns Ouija Boards Lead to ‘Demonic Possession’

(Olivia Rondeau – Breitbart) Ouija boards and other attempts to contact the dead should be avoided because “angels, demons, spirits, and souls do exist, and they can have an impact on our life,” an exorcist priest warns this Halloween season.

“We too often forget that there is much more to this world than meets the eye,” Fr. Dan Reehil, a priest of the Diocese of Nashville, told Fox News Digital in a Monday report.

Reehil was trained in performing exorcisms by the Ateneo Pontificio Regina Apostolorum in Rome in 2018 and was installed that same year as the resident exorcist in Nashville. Continue reading

10 Reasons Christians Can Be Thankful in Trying Circumstances

(Nick Batzig – Beautiful Christian Life) Often, the most basic of God’s commands are the hardest for us to obey. We may ask ourselves whether or not we would have the faith to offer up a child to God—as Abraham did when he was called to offer up Isaac—while never really stopping to ask ourselves whether or not we have the faith to obey the most basic new covenant commands.

Take, for instance, Paul’s statement in 1 Thess. 5:18: Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you all. Continue reading

Righting Wrongs

“In America today, right and wrong is no longer collective; it is now individualistic. The progressive left does not generally believe in punishment for hurting others. In some places, that concept has been obliterated. Violent criminals are released time after time. Drug addicts are given tax money to buy more drugs….” 

(Bill O’Reilly) On Friday, I did a live show at the Paramount Theater in Huntington, Long Island, in front of a packed house. The theme of the show was an exposition of how the state of New York and much of the country has gone terribly wrong. Continue reading

Hey, Hamas Sympathizers: Israel Identifies Terrorist Base Under Gaza Hospital

(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) Realists have tried to explain to Hamas sympathizers in the West that Hamas constantly uses their own civilians in Gaza as human shields. The latest bombshell confirmation of this is that Israel reportedly identified a terrorist base under a Gaza hospital, and even released audio online of Gazans discussing how they use civilian buildings to shield terrorist activities. This is one war where it’s easy to identify the “good guy” and the “bad guy.” Continue reading

Mike Bickle Accused Of Sexual Misconduct, Denounced By IHOP

“IHOP refused to go into details. And while a married man in ministry committing adultery is bad enough, the framing of this issue as sex abuse raises multiple questions”.

(Ray Fava Evangelical Dark Web) Mike Bickle is one of the most prominent figures in the New Apostolic Reformation also known as NAR. His organization, the International House of Prayer (IHOP) is the embodiment of NAR. On Saturday, the International House of Prayer released a statement denouncing Mike Bickle, disqualifying him from ministry. Continue reading

Emboldened Global Jihad Is Final Nail in Coffin of Mass Migration Delusion

“As the West grapples with the very radical Muslims it voluntarily imported, hundreds of thousands of whom march in the streets of metropolises such as London and Chicago calling for Jewish genocide and thousands of others of whom lead vile “Students for Justice in Palestine” statements praising the Hamas massacre as a “liberation” of “stolen land,” it has become obvious that assimilation of huge numbers of non-Western immigrants into Western society is simply not working.”

(Josh Hammer – The Patriot Post) The weeks since the Oct. 7 Hamas pogrom in Israel, in which the most Jews were slaughtered in a single day than at any time since World War II, have seen an astonishing rise in global Jew-hatred. One might have thought that the mass carnage and unspeakable barbarism of the Hamas Holocaust would instead galvanize a concerted pushback against Islamic jihadism, but it is the ancient scourge of antisemitism — and not so-called Islamophobia — that is once again the world’s most politically correct and fashionable form of bigotry. Continue reading

Premodern Diversity vs. Civilizational Unity

“The old immigration once enriched America, but our new version is destroying it.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Few Romans in the late decades of their 5th-century AD empire celebrated their newfound “diversity” of marauding Goths, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Huns, and Vandals.

These tribes en masse had crossed the unsecured Rhine and Danube borders to harvest Roman bounty without a care about what had created it.

Their agendas were focused on destroying the civilization they overran rather than peacefully integrating into and perpetuating the Empire. Continue reading

American Oligarchy: Meet the Billionaire Mega-Donors Behind the Biden Presidency

“Jeffrey Katzenberg filled up the Biden campaign with millions of dollars upon Kamala’s joining the ticket, and then the entertainment mogul minted a deal with Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping to create a Chinese Hollywood. Synergy or quid pro quo?”

(Alexander Marlow – Breitbart) Liberals used to decry the influence of money in politics. But in Joe Biden’s America, we have seen the rise of a noxious new generation of left-wing donors. I identify some of the biggest power players in Joe Biden’s American in my book New York Times bestselling book Breaking Biden. Continue reading

Oversight Chair Demands Proof of Loan Repayment from Biden

(Mary Dowling) The Biden White House defended the $200,000 payment the President received from his brother James as a loan repayment, but it didn’t wash.

On Thursday, Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued a letter to White House Counsel Edward Siskel calling on President Joe Biden to furnish the loan documents and applicable IRS filings for the loan. He emphasized that regardless of whether the check was a loan repayment, the President still benefitted from his family “cashing in on the Biden name.” Continue reading

Obama Weighs In On Israel’s Response to Hamas – Do Nothing?

“[Biden] is sending $100 billion in so-called “humanitarian” aid to Gaza, which he knows will be given to Hamas. Hamas is the government. They get the money. He could airlift food and other essentials, but instead, he gives taxpayer money to them so they can terrorize their neighbors.”

(Mary Dowling) On Monday, Barack Obama wrote an opinion piece on Medium called “Thoughts on Israel and Gaza.” The 44th President is vehemently opposed to Israel’s response to the Hamas terror attack and took a shot at America while he was at it. He excused Palestinians in Gaza who elected and currently support Hamas. Continue reading

Shawn Bolz and Christine Caine: An Unholy Alliance of Divination and Fortune-telling

“The absence of accountability in Bolz’s ministry forms a stark contrast to the communal discernment encouraged in traditional Christian settings. The autonomy with which Bolz operates mirrors the unaccountable and often elusive practices of witchcraft.”

(The Dissenter) In the realm of charismatic Christian ministry, Shawn Bolz is a name that often comes adorned with an aura of divine insight. He claims a direct line to God and a prophetic vision that unveils the formerly unrevealed. His proclaimed ability to peer into the mysteries of individual lives and divine will has earned him a seat among modern-day “Christian” oracles…. Continue reading

Civilizational Suicide

Israel, too, figures into this dialectic. In his program to “decolonize Harvard,” Montalvo promoted  materials highlighting Harvard student and faculty activism against Israel’s supposed “apartheid regime” and “settlement enterprise.” The student groups accused Israel of “structural and cultural forms of violence” and called for both “scholarly action” and collective resistance against the Jewish state. 

(Christopher Rufo) Harvard finds itself in an ideological bind. Following Hamas’s horrific terror attack against Israel, the Harvard College Palestine Solidarity Committee issued a statement, co-signed by 33 other student groups, blaming the Jewish state for the murder, rape, and mutilation of its own citizens by Hamas. “Today’s events did not occur in a vacuum,” the statement read. “The apartheid regime is the only one to blame.” Continue reading

Senator Claims DOJ/FBI Terminated Investigation Into Dirty Biden Family Business to Keep It Quiet During Trump Impeachment

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) The FBI and Justice Department terminated investigations showing illegal money laundering and other dirty deals by Joe Biden and his family. The investigations used 40 confidential human sources and agents all over the country before being shut down during Biden’s run for the presidency. That stunning revelation comes from a letter sent by Senator Chuck Grassley to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray, who have been ordered to explain why the plug was pulled in December of 2019 — the same month Donald Trump was impeached for alleging the same dirty Biden business. Continue reading

The Spirit’s Fruit: Self-Control

(Jeffrey Stivaston – A Place for Truth) As a believer, if I always entertained thoughts and engaged in deeds that are suitable to one who enjoys life in Christ, then self-control would not be an activity with which I would need to be concerned. However, undergoing regeneration does not mean that all my sinful thoughts and desires have been banished from the boundaries of my person. In this life there is an irreconcilable war waging within my members that won’t be fully and finally reconciled until my last day. I am a sinner. Therefore, I must be occupied with controlling myself. Continue reading

Pfizer Purchaser Agreement Released – Reckless and Insane

“Then, when they did know the truth, they delayed telling us, or they never told us at all.”

(Mary Dowling) Kim Dotcom wrote on X today that the secret vaccine purchase agreement that South Africa signed with Pfizer has been released. They admitted in the agreement that they didn’t know the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine or what adverse events might occur, and there were no long-term effects to study.

Kim Dotcom says, “leaders worldwide recklessly turned their citizens into lab rats by signing this garbage. Insane.” Continue reading

Former Prosecutor ‘No Indications of Asphyxia or Strangulation’ in George Floyd Autopsy

Tucker Carlson recently revealed that former Hennepin County prosecutor Amy Sweasy claims the medical examiner who autopsied George Floyd told her the next day that there “were no medical indications of asphyxia or strangulation.”

(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov gave us the playbook on the commies’ plan to take over the United States without firing a shot. In it, he describes how the Marxists don’t plan social chaos, like riots and civil unrest. They wait for something to happen, then keep the forward motion going. Continue reading

Dr. Michael Brown Pulls Out of ‘American Gospel 3’ Film Because They Criticized His NAR Buddies and ‘Grave Soaking’

“Brown was also upset that one episode was taking a critical view of the Bethel/ Pentecostal phenomena of ‘grave soaking,’ which is when someone lays on top of the grave of a famous dead charismatic and “sucks” the “mantle” and “anointing” out of them.”

(Protestia) The makers of American Gospel: Christ Alone (2018) and American Gospel: Christ Crucified (2019) have announced that their upcoming third film American Gospel: Spirit & Fire (2023) will be delayed after heretic-promoter Dr. Michael Brown pulled out of the project. The self-culling comes after other participants criticized New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) ministries and grave soaking, according to an update from Film Director Brandon Kimber. Continue reading

Max Lucado and the ‘He Gets Us’ Campaign

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) One of the most overlooked aspects of both the He Gets Us Campaign and The Chosen is the Big Eva industry working behind the scenes to fund and market products that ultimately put out a substandard Jesus. The He Gets Us Campaign seemingly came out of nowhere with the ability to put up the funds for major ad buys including Super Bowl commercials. Evangelical Dark Web exposed much of the nefarious figures behind He Gets Us back in February. However there is still more to this story that is worth revisiting and shining a brighter light on and that is the network behind them. Continue reading

Pure Evil—Team Biden Pimping Nonexistent ‘Islamophobia’ Narrative

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Ever since September 11, 2001, Democrats have insisted that the real problem with Islamic terrorists killing innocent people is that innocent people might take a dim view of Islamic terrorists.

How dare we?

We’ve had a few discussions in the past couple of weeks about the Democrats’ inability to differentiate good from evil. Several times during the first week after Hamas decided to launch a terror spree by slaughtering a bunch of kids at a music festival, it appeared as if some Democrats might finally be breaking free from the hive mind and its knee-jerk Islamophobia chorus…. Continue reading

Tucker: ‘It Looks Like We’re Going to War with Iran’

“When Tucker asked what would happen to the United States if we started bombing Iran’s infrastructure, Macgregor said they’d target our bases in Syria and Iraq, and this time, they wouldn’t miss. We could expect trouble here at home, and Russia would not remain silent.”

(Mary Dowling) Tucker said this evening that it looks like we’re going to war with Iran, and what is most ominous about this is very few Republicans, the opposition, are “pushing back.” Continue reading

Untwisting the Bible, Part VI: Jesus Sinned?

“The entire purpose of twisting the Bible to try to make it as though Jesus sinned is a leftist conundrum. They believe that if they can prove Jesus sinned, then that makes it okay for them to sin. They can be homosexuals, have abortions, and hate Bible-believing conservative Christians. After all, if Jesus sinned and went to Heaven, so can they.”

(The Dissenter) In a world where every sacred text and tradition is up for grabs, it comes as no surprise that leftists, especially those of the “progressive Christianity” ilk, have found a new frontier for their artistic interpretations—the very sinlessness of Jesus Christ Himself. Because nothing says progress like accusing the Savior of the world of sin to justify our own moral failings…. Continue reading

Francis Chan Weeps, Worships, Laughs, Cheers, and Learns With Benny Hinn

“This is the company Francis Chan keeps now, and to say that he is not recommended is an understatement.”

(Protestia) Francis Chan continues to display his lack of discernment and abject squishiness, joining arch-heretic Benny Hinn at Jesus Image ‘Pastors Conference’ last month to worship alongside, laugh, cheer, and sit under his tutelage.

Jesus Image ministry is led by Jessica and Michael Koulianos, Benny’s daughter and son-in-law…. Continue reading
