Pentagon Leaks Imply World War III Has Already Begun

(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) Remember when leftist harpies screeched that Trump would start World War III? They were only off by one president.

According to a leaked document dated March 23, 2023, the UK, the United States, and several other European nations have boots on the ground in Ukraine.

How Do We Respond to a God That Doesn’t Give Timetables?

“Think of the children of Israel, enslaved for 400 years, trying to hold onto the promise given to their father Abraham that they would have a land of their own, and yet having no timetable on when God would make good on that promise.”

(Michael Kelly – thinke) Nobody likes to wait.

Not for food, not for service, not at the DMV, not for a lull in the video streaming – not for anything. One of the reasons we hate to wait comes from our culture. We live in a culture in which everything is measured against time…. Continue reading

Psychology’s Culpability in the Transgender Movement

“I’m writing this because I want to make sure pastors and parents see the massive worldview shift that is taking place in the schools and so-called sciences. The transgender movement has become the gravitational center of our culture. It is fed by the Bible of psychology, and it targets our kids. We should at least be familiar with the book that is being used to justify the massive surge in the transgender movement.”

(Jesse Johnson – The Cripplegate) Last month, Minnesota introduced legislation making it a “trans-refuge” state. If the legislation passes, it would become a crime for parents to refuse to give their children “gender affirming” care, and parents could lose custody of their children if they refuse to play the gender games. Continue reading

Ken Ham Rebukes Andy Stanley for His Affirmation of Evolution

(The Dissenter) The following rebuke was written by Ken Ham in a post on Twitter:

Watch the short video clip attached of Andy Stanley. He is a teacher with a large flock in Georgia. How should we respond to what he is teaching in this clip?

God’s Word has a severe warning for those of us who are teachers. God instructs us that teachers/leaders are going to be a problem…. Continue reading

Courage Is Contagious

But it takes courage. And when we put that courage into action and stand for truth and for protecting the innocent, others will see it and join in. If it can happen in the NHL, it can happen in the circles we run in. We must band together to stop the woke onslaught.

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) It’s no secret that we live in a world where our culture is turning away from truth and reality. The most egregious examples of this are the sudden obsession with drag queens and the way leftists trip over each other to defend and promote transgender people. Continue reading

Hawley rips Garland for ‘false’ testimony on DOJ recruiting efforts inside churches

Those developments followed a leaked FBI memo that talked about “Radical Traditionalist Catholic” groups and claimed that these groups express an “adherence to anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ and white supremacist ideology.”

(Elizabeth Elkind – Fox News) EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Josh Hawley on Tuesday accused Attorney General Merrick Garland of providing false testimony to the Senate last month when he said his department is not developing sources inside Catholic churches and other houses of worship, and demanded to know how many “undercover informants or other agents” are aiding the department from these religious sites. Continue reading

Five Observations of Modern Church Liberal Drift and Apostasy

(The Dissenter) Believers in Christ’s atonement are now in declared religious union with those who make light of it; believers in Holy Scripture are in confederacy with those who deny plenary inspiration; those who hold evangelical doctrine are in open alliance with those who call the fall a fable, who deny the personality of the Holy Ghost, who call justification by faith immoral, and hold that there is another probation after death, and a future restitution for the lost. Yes, we have before us the wretched spectacle of professedly orthodox Christians publicly avowing their union with those who deny the faith, and scarcely concealing their contempt for those who cannot be guilty of such gross disloyalty to Christ. —Charles Spurgeon Continue reading

Anheuser-Busch Distributors Across America’s Heartland ‘Spooked’ by Backlash to Transgender Campaign

(John Binder – Breitbart) This month, Bud Light partnered with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, a former gay man who now dresses as a woman and has risen to corporate leftist stardom with his viral TikTok videos chronicling his day-to-day “transition” to a woman.

“This month I celebrated my day 365 of womanhood and Bud Light sent me possibly the best gift ever — a can with my face on it,” Mulvaney says in the Bud Light ad. Continue reading

Fiddling America Away

“The more our chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and secretary of defense tour the world, sound off on contemporary strategic issues, or weigh in on domestic politics, the more apprehensive our allies become, wondering how the once-vaunted U.S. Armed Forces have descended into some bizarre woke commissariat.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) The last few weeks, the world had been writing off the United States as either crazy or irrelevant as it watches America cannibalize itself.

Friends tremble at our sudden decline. Enemies rejoice. Neutrals make the necessary adjustments to join the ascendant non-American side. Continue reading

The IRS Went Down to Georgia to Steal an Election

“How much of an impact did State Voices and its claim of 140 million voter contacts have on the 2022 election? And how much of an impact will its over a thousand partners have in 2024?… Those are inquiries that the IRS does not want to conduct, but they are the burning questions that lie at the core of what it means to have free and fair elections.” 

(Daniel Greenfield – Front Page Mag) An estimated 3.5 million people voted in the Georgia Senate runoff election. State Voices, a leftist nonprofit, claimed that it had made 3 million voter contacts for the runoff. Continue reading

Exposed: The Enneagram Is Woke

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Last week Big Eva figures gathered online to promote the Enneagram in the church. It was previously reported that Tyler Zach was hosting an Enneagram conference and landed Russell Moore among others to appear as speakers and panelists. Evangelical Dark Web has obtained exclusive recordings of the event and the first light we want to shine for the church to see is that the Enneagram is woke or at a minimum an easy tool for woke liberals to wield in the church. Continue reading

‘Trans Dinosaur Expert’ Smuggles Gender Ideology Into Children’s Educational Books

“Male and female he created them…” Gen 5:2

“Riley doesn’t allow reality to prevent him from smuggling his nonsense into children’s books. The groomer never do.”

(Ben Bartee – PJ Media) Riley Black is a “trans dinosaur expert” not only in the sense of being a dinosaur expert who is also transgender. He is also an expert, or so his credentials say, on trans dinosaurs.

Here is an excerpt from Riley’s 2019 treatise on “transgender dinosaurs” in 2019, via Nature (emphases added):

Most official forms give you the binary demographic choices of ‘male’ and ‘female’, but I don’t feel comfortable assigning myself to one or the other for my gender…. Continue reading

Resurrection and Justification

(R.C. Sproul) How is the resurrection of Christ linked to the idea of justification in the New Testament? To answer this question, we must first explore the use and meaning of the term justification in the New Testament. Confusion about this has provoked some of the fiercest controversies in the history of the church. The Protestant Reformation itself was fought over the issue of justification. In all its complications, the unreconciled and unreconcilable difference in the debate came down to the question of whether our justification before God is grounded in the infusion of Christ’s righteousness into us, by which we become inherently righteous, or in the imputation, or reckoning, of Christ’s righteousness to us while we are still sinners. The difference between these views makes all the difference in our understanding of the Gospel and of how we are saved. Continue reading

GOP urged to denounce ‘alarmist’ UN climate change report

“We are told every day that every emission warms the planet. That is clearly not the case. We should not mindlessly and recklessly proceed with dangerous and expensive emissions cuts until this paradox is resolved.”

(Elizabeth Elkind – Fox News) A recent memo sent to every Republican member of Congress is urging lawmakers to dismiss the United Nations’ “alarmist report” on climate change.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently called on wealthy nations to move up its net-zero emissions goal from 2050 to 2040…. Continue reading

Bombshell in the Proud Boys J6 Conspiracy Trial

“The FBI is not supposed to encourage or help people break the law.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) J6 Bombshell! At least 40 undercover informants and undercover officers were involved in the crowds on January 6. They came from other government agencies besides the FBI, DC Metro Police, and DHS. Continue reading

Christian Post Hires Heretic We Warned About

“…his program imputes white people with guilt using Critical Race Theory.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Several months ago Evangelical Dark Web performed research on David Anderson because we foresaw that he was an up-and-coming figure in Big Eva. This was due to his signing of the Biologos Statement which encouraged Christians to get jabbed and fight information counter to Dr. Fauci’s guidance…. Continue reading

Good Friday Was Not Cosmic Child Abuse

(Josh Buice – G3) On Good Friday each year, Christians remember the most glorious sacrifice and the most horrific murder that ever occurred in human history. Why do we refer to the Friday after Thanksgiving as “Black Friday” and the Friday before Easter “Good Friday”? Should they be reversed?

It’s the day set aside on the calendar to remember the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus for the sins of his people and the heinous murder of God’s Son. Why would we celebrate that day as a good day?… Continue reading

Another Would-Be Trans Mass Shooter Arrested

“It is a peculiar manifestation of the madness of our age that even as a mentally ill individual plots to act upon his mental illness by murdering people, those who report on this fact still treat his mental illness as if it were perfectly normal and even torture the English language in order to accommodate it.” 

(Robert Spencer) William Whitworth, a 19-year-old male who claims to be female and goes by the name “Lilly,” has been arrested in Colorado Springs, Colo., after threatening various local schools. Whitworth has been charged with two counts of criminal attempt to commit murder in the first degree, as well as criminal mischief, menacing, and more…. Continue reading

Uganda Bans Homosexuality, and the Left Blames…Evangelical Americans?

(J.W. Baker) Last month the Uganda Parliament passed a bill criminalizing homosexuality in the African nation. The bill identifies offenses such as “aggravated homosexuality” and the “recruitment, funding, and promotion of same-sex activities” as crimes punishable by life imprisonment and death, depending upon the nature of the transgression.

Speaking last Sunday, the Ugandan President, Yoweri Museveni applauded the bill and signaled that he would sign the legislation. Museveni also said that homosexuality was “a big threat and danger to the procreation of the human race” and called on Africa to take the lead in saving the world from “degeneration and decadence.” Continue reading

More than 150 priests, others in Baltimore Archdiocese abused over 600 kids, Maryland AG report says

“In some cases, victims ended up reporting abuse to priests who were abusive themselves, prosecutors wrote.”

(CBS News) More than 150 Catholic priests and others associated with the Archdiocese of Baltimore sexually abused more than 600 children over the past 80 years, according to a state report released Wednesday that accused church officials of decades of cover-ups.

The report, issued by the Maryland Attorney General’s Office, paints a damning picture of the archdiocese, which is the oldest Roman Catholic diocese in the country and spans much of Maryland…. Continue reading

John Piper vs Christian Nationalism

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) John Piper is one of the most influential pastors in the United States. In recent decades, this influence has been to the detriment to the church, as he has gone woke and is soft on pressing cultural issues. The last time we reported on John Piper was when he peddled the unsafe and ineffective Covid jabs. Yet Piper will take a bold stance against role playing in marital relations. Most recently, John Piper has emerged on the issue of Christian Nationalism to say that it is incompatible with historic Baptist teachings and not worth pursuing. Continue reading

I Would Rather Have Jesus Than A Chocolate Easter Bunny

By Marsha West

Easter evokes images of decorative baskets filled with all sorts of goodies, cool new clothes, church services, the annual Easter egg hunt, families and friends gathering together to enjoy a sumptuous meal.  Doesn’t it seem a bit odd that people will spend an entire day celebrating a make-believe rabbit?

Today when Easter Sunday rolls around a good many Christians spend more time participating in secular events than celebrating the Resurrection of their Savior.  Before I move on I should point out that “Easter” is now passé.  Wanting to remove the Christian origins of our language, secularists managed to change Resurrection Sunday to Easter Sunday and Easter break to spring break – all in the name of tolerance. Fortunately a large number of believers have caught on to their shenanigans and have gone back to using Resurrection Sunday instead of Easter.

Just as our postmodern culture has secularized Christmas, likewise Easter has been secularized and now we incorporate the Easter Bunny, hunting for colorful eggs and binging on chocolate and jellybeans.  There’s nothing wrong with Easter festivities per se — but for Christians, Christ’s triumph over death ought to be the reason for the celebration.   What does a big bunny, a basket filled with plastic Easter eggs and decadently delicious goodies have to do with Jesus? Continue reading

Is God Homophobic?

“Biblical teachings assert that those who have been genuinely born again shall not persist in the habitual and deliberate practice of sin, but rather, endeavor to lead lives that are pleasing to God and aligned with His divine will. Individuals who remain entrenched in unrepentant sin have clearly not experienced the life-changing power of God’s grace and forgiveness.” 

(The Dissenter) The term “homophobia,” as presently understood by our contemporary society, is a linguistic construct devised by the political and social left to characterize what they describe as an irrational fear, aversion, or discrimination against those who identify as LGBTQ+ on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity….

Trump Embraces the Demos’ 2024 Indictment Strategy

“[Dems] are working overtime on this strategy, with the objective of helping Trump eclipse other candidates they might have more trouble defeating, enabling him to suck all the air out of the room. They believe that if Trump is the nominee, they can, again, depend on an enormous “hate and fear” voter turnout, which, combined with their bulk-mail ballot fraud strategy, will succeed, as it did in 2020. And in 2024, Trump will be older than Ronald Reagan was when he left office.”

(Mark Alexander – The Patriot Post) You could make this stuff up, but nobody would believe you!

On the same day Donald Trump “surrendered” in New York to face indictment charges filed by Manhattan’s corrupt George Soros-backed district attorney, Alvin Bragg — charges for allegedly paying “hush money” to an “adult film” star, Stephanie Clifford, a.k.a. “Stormy Daniels” — the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Clifford must pay Trump $122,000 in legal fees for a failed defamation case she brought against him.
