Charismatic Pastor Says He Commanded a Tree to Be Healed, and It Was So

“Name it and claim it” heresy, insist[s] that believers can manipulate reality simply through faith-filled declarations.

(The Dissenter) A popular heresy among charismatic false teachers is little-god theology, or the belief that we as humans carry within us the potential to become God, or divine like God. This is not only a heresy found among charismatics, however, it is the underlying teaching of Mormonism–that our future as believers are to partake in the divinity of God and become gods ourselves.

“Who has access to the White House complex without passing through any security screening?”

(Jonathan Jones – The Western Journal) Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas set the stage to force the Secret Service to reveal the identity of the cocaine culprit inside the White House in a letter to the agency’s director on Wednesday.

On Sunday, a white substance was found in the West Wing as the building was briefly evacuated. Continue reading

The Gospel Coalition Promotes Gay Christian YA Novel

Page 92 “…there is nothing wrong with those feelings. … There is nothing sinful about temptation alone – Jesus himself was tempted. It is what you do with those feelings that matters.” This is not biblical because homosexual attractions are not natural and temptation is external not internal, as Jesus did not have Original Sin.

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) In the wake of Side B theology running rampant in the church, The Gospel Coalition is promoting a young adult novel that focuses on a “gay Christian teen” with messaging that bypasses the Christian sexual ethic. TGC Australia promoted the book Colors by Patty Guthrie in a review titled Fictional Representation of a Gay Christian Teen: Colours by Patty Guthrie. Continue reading

Whistleblower Gal Luft: ‘I May Have to Live on the Run For the Rest of My Life’ For Informing U.S. Gov. About Biden’s Influence Peddling

(Debra Heine – American Greatness) Dr. Gal Luft, the Israeli whistleblower who has been on the run since April, detailed his bribery allegations against the Biden family in an extraordinary new video obtained by the New York Post. 

As American Greatness previously reported, Luft was arrested on weapon trafficking and other charges in Cyprus last February and disappeared after he was let out on bail. After his arrest, the former Israeli army officer tweeted that the Biden administration was out to “bury” him. Continue reading

Southern Baptist Convention ERLC Head Brent Leatherwood Lobbies Tennessee Court to Bury Transgender School Shooter’s Manifesto

“If the manifesto were truly a nothing-burger that contained no new information regarding motive, there would be no reason for all of the legal gamesmanship on the part of Leatherwood and others to shield it from the public’s view.”

(Protestia) In recent months, following the Covenant School Shooting, the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission head Brent Leatherwood has been outspoken in support of gun control legislation, throwing the lobbying power of the Southern Baptist Convention behind the gun control proposals of Tennessee Governor Bill Lee. Continue reading

Five Biblical Ways to Spot a False Prophet

“Our devotion belongs solely to the God who loved us enough to send His Son to bridge the chasm of sin and reunite us with Himself. No prophecy, sign, or wonder is worth abandoning our relationship with Him.”

(The Dissenter) In an age where confusion often masks the truth, believers must remain vigilant. Our spiritual home, the modern church, finds itself facing an unseen threat from within. False prophets have slipped quietly into our congregations, pretending to shepherd us in faith, but their true intent is to lead us astray. Continue reading

Lefties Begin Denying Service to Trump Supporters

(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) Depending on your point of view,  the Supreme Court’s Friday decision in 303 Creative v. Elenis was either a great moment in American jurisprudence or a day that will live in infamy. There are accusations floating around the MSM that a piece of evidence referenced by each side was falsified. Alongside that story, there are whispers of attorneys being disbarred over the matter. That didn’t take long, did it? But even before that, leftists were quick to stand up in outrage and state that the ruling gave them the right to refuse service to conservatives, notably Trump supporters…. Continue reading

U.S. Dept. of Education rolling out deceitful plan to shut down removal of obscene books from schools

(Amy Contrada – Mass Resistance) The high-level LGBT activists in the Biden administration have devised a deceitful scheme to shut down citizen efforts to remove pornographic or obscene books in the public schools. Many (if not most) of such books contain homosexual and transgender themes.

The Department of Education’s (DOE) Office of Civil Rights (OCR) is now monitoring book challenges across the country for “discriminatory” actions, specifically related to books with any so-called “LGBTQI+” content…. Continue reading

The anti-corruption power of Anglo-Protestant culture

“It is deeply unpopular in the current age to suggest that some cultures might be preferable to others, but it is simply true that people worldwide notice and prefer the conditions that Anglo-Protestant culture tends to create.” 

(Grant Haun – The Sentinel) If most of the following attitudes and traits describe you, you likely come from a specific culture, according to the psychometry of cultural differences.

You think actions speak louder than words, and that a person’s words and deeds should align. You believe that discovering the truth is vital to matters of scientific inquiry and problem-solving…. Continue reading

On Muslims Coming to Christ in Dreams and the Heresy of Monophysitism

“When people come to saving faith, they embrace the real Jesus, as He is presented in the Bible. They do not flock to a false religion or accept a distorted version of Him.”

(The Dissenter) Over the past several years, an intriguing phenomenon has captured the attention of many in Christian circles: Muslims across the Middle East purportedly experiencing dreams and visions of Jesus, leading to their conversion to Christianity. Prominent Evangelical leaders such as David Platt, Russell Moore, and David Uth have lent credence to these accounts, recognizing them as credible expressions of divine intervention….

CDC Altered Death Certificates to Remove ‘COVID Vaccine’ as Cause

“What the tipster found…was that the CDC removed or refused to add the T88.1 or Y59.0 IDC codes from Minnesota death certificates that indicated that someone died from complications involving a COVID vaccine.”

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) The CDC removed “COVID vaccine” as the cause of death on a number of Minnesota death certificates, according to an anonymous tipster — and that has the Brownstone Institute referring to the health agency as the “Centers for Data Concealment.” Continue reading

What the Fourth of July Was Not

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Our national Fourth of July holiday—currently the nation’s 247th since the first in 1776—marks the birth of the United States.

The iconic Declaration of Independence was published on the 4th and largely written by Thomas Jefferson. Its core sentence would become among the most famous words in American history:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Continue reading

Only Christ will conserve America

“Creating a “moral and religious people” must be the priority of the Church as it engages in evangelism, discipleship, and the application of the faith to all of life.”

(Zachary Conover – The Sentinel) John Adams famously said: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Adams recognized that as great as the ideals of liberty are, they can only be lived and applied by men whose hearts have been reformed to love such virtues.

Righteous hearts desire righteous laws. This is the key ingredient of any free society. And it is an ingredient we lack. Continue reading

Biden Backs Bill Gates’ Chemical Cloud to Block the Sun

“Billionaire lunatic George Soros is also promoting a risk-filled new technology to fight “climate change.” It will block heat and light from the Sun to cool Earth’s global temperature and repair the solar system.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Biden supports a plan to block sunlight, so if you have a vitamin D deficiency, stock up on those vitamins. Reportedly, 82% of black and 63% of Hispanic people have vitamin D deficiency. They need more sunlight.

And what about our crops? They need sunlight. Continue reading

Supreme Court strikes down Biden’s multibillion dollar student loan forgiveness plan

(Charlotte Hazard – Just the News) In a landmark ruling with implications for the 2024 election, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Friday that the Biden administration does not have the authority to unilaterally cancel hundreds of billions in student loan debt.

The ruling was a major rebuke of President Joe Biden’s political efforts to court young voters with large college debts, and sets a fresh battle ahead of the next presidential election. It also was the latest of several major court rulings that chided the administration for trying to impose regulatory powers that Congress did not give the executive branch. Continue reading

They finally debated RFK Jr. on vaccines and it did NOT go well for ‘the science’…

(Revolver) RFK Jr. made a powerful appearance at a News Nation town hall recently where he went head-to-head with the so-called vaccine “science.” By the time he was done, the “science” was in pieces. And the real kicker was his approach — RFK Jr. was both smart and persuasive, likely hitting home with more everyday people than the media would dare to admit. The 13-minute video is a must watch.

News Nation:

RFK Jr.: ‘Anti-vaccine’ moniker is ‘way of silencing me’

The Democratic hopeful pushed back against claims that he’s anti-vaccine and said labeling him as such is just a way of “silencing” him. Continue reading

Tucker Carlson Makes Chilling Prediction About 2024

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) In the latest episode of Tucker on Twitter, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson made a rather bold prediction about the 2024 election.

Carlson pointed out that the recently released WhatsApp messages from Hunter Biden to his Chinese business partner proved that Joe Biden was involved in (or at the very least knew about) Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling schemes. He called the messages a “smoking gun” that “would have been enough to cripple a normal president, would have been more than enough to keep a normal president from running for office again,” yet they had “virtually no effect on Joe Biden.” Why? Continue reading

Good News: The Disney Death Spiral

“What is actually the issue, however, is that Disney decided to use its position of trust as a beloved film company primarily targeting children to push an ideological agenda that is anti-family. Parents simply aren’t going to pay for trashy indoctrination.”

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) The last few movies that Disney has released have lost the company close to a billion dollars. With the new Indiana Jones movie coming out on Friday, it is anticipated the deficit will only rise. Continue reading

Google Withdraws Sponsorship from Drag Show Starring ‘Peaches Christ’ Following Petition by Christian Employees

(Lucas Nolan – Breitbart) The New York Post reports that woke tech giant Google has withdrawn its backing from a drag show in San Francisco, a decision that came in the wake of a petition signed by hundreds of its employees who claimed the event was a “direct affront to the religious beliefs and sensitivities of Christians.”

Google, known for its support of LGBT events, found itself in a tricky situation when it decided to remove the “Pride and Drag Show” from its yearly lineup of LGBT Pride events. This move was prompted by Christian employees who were unhappy with the main performer, drag artist “Peaches Christ.” Continue reading

Supreme Court rules against affirmative action, in favor of religious liberty

(John Solomon – Just the News) The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday issued multiple major decisions, including a ruling against using affirmative action in the college admissions process and another unanimous ruling in favor of a Christian whose beliefs prevented him from delivering packages on Sundays.

The Students for Fair Admissions filed two cases dealing with affirmative action against the University of North Carolina and Harvard. Continue reading

Butchered Children of ‘Gender-Affirming Care’

Father injecting his trans child with hormones.

“They will be on pills for life as well. Detransitioning often leaves children scarred, infertile irreversibly, and with something worse than dysphoria, a deformed body.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Biden’s administration has condemned depriving children of puberty blockers and transition surgeries. Biden calls it “immoral,” and both he and KJP call the children of the nation “our children.” If so, when will they support my children, and can I set up play dates with Joe? Continue reading

Preston Sprinkle Tells Tim Keller That Jesus Didn’t Use Theology, He Just ‘Loved’ Homosexuals Into the Kingdom

(The Dissenter) Everybody knows the theological argument that homosexuals and their allies use to justify their sinful behaviors and to rebuke those who believe that homosexuality is incompatible with Christianity. Essentially, the argument goes like this: Jesus ate with sinners.

Yep, that’s it. That’s the argument, and whether they like theology or not, it’s a theological argument—albeit, a terrible one.

We would expect, however, a theologian as seasoned as the late Tim Keller to know better though, and when presented with such a terrible argument, we should expect him to at least offer some pushback…. Continue reading

NBC News says LGBT activists chanting ‘we’re coming for your children’ is ‘taken out of context.’ Come peek at the brutal fact checks and replies.

“They’re happy knowing that what they are doing, performing their drag schtick and sexual fetish in public, is grooming kids to be more open to sex. This allows predators to more easily access their prey.”

(Harris Rigby – Not the Bee) NBC News says LGBT activists chanting “we’re coming for your children” is “taken out of context.” Come peek at the brutal fact checks and replies.

The “coming for your children” chant has been used for years at Pride events, according to longtime march attendees and gay rights activists, who said it’s one of many provocative expressions used to regain control of slurs against LGBTQ people. Continue reading
