False Teacher, Rick Warren Becomes First ‘Honorary Chancellor’ of Spurgeon’s College

“Rick Warren’s Purpose-Driven philosophy is a subtle yet insidious danger to biblical Christianity. It replaces Christ-centered living with self-focused purpose-finding, a move that not only deviates from but directly opposes the teachings of Spurgeon. This is not a mere divergence in philosophy; it is a fundamental misalignment with biblical truth.”

(The Dissenter) Founded in 1856 by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the ‘Prince of Preachers’, Spurgeon’s College in Croydon, London, historically has upheld a legacy of evangelical Christianity. Its founding mission: to train individuals in faithful Gospel proclamation. For nearly two centuries, it has produced generations of Christian leaders grounded in biblical truth, earning a reputation for theological depth and integrity, until recently. Continue reading

See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil

“Paul knew he was a sinner. He wasn’t perfect. He says so in Phil 3:12. He needed the grace of God as much in his sixties as when he was first saved. In fact, over time it appears he recognized how much more he needed it than he ever first believed.”

(Harry Anderson – The Cripplegate) There are twin dangers that we face as believers. The first danger is in viewing sin too highly. The second danger is in seeing sin too lowly. I have seen both errors within Christ’s church… and I have seen them both within myself. There is a fine line that we walk in this life, and it’s easy to fall on one side or the other.

At Least 5 Whistleblowers Come Forward Against Biden Family

(Wendell Husebo – Breitbart) At least five whistleblowers have come forward to allege wrongdoing by the Biden family in connection with business schemes and corresponding coverups.

The whistleblowers are in addition to the multitude of witnesses that Republican members of Congress have interviewed behind closed doors.

The whistleblowers range from an IRS agent to an Obama administration stenographer, encompassing alleged corruption in Ukraine and Mexico, along with the FBI and DOJ. Continue reading

Teachers Get Their Due Two Years After School System Fires Them for Not Getting Vaxxed

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) When the COVID-19 vaccines emerged, the narrative started out as a suggestion that people get should the vaccines (and what would apparently become endless boosters) in order to protect themselves and maybe even save lives. Then, the rallying cry turned to the assertion that getting the vaccine was the right thing to do. You didn’t dare ask questions or express reservations about the vaccines; the expectation was that everyone would just do his or her part. Continue reading

Target Targets Children With Homosexual Pride Gear for Infants, Babies, Toddlers, and Children

(The Dissenter) In the Book of Proverbs, it is written, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). Yet, as we cast our gaze upon the world today, we find a sharp deviation from this wisdom, an alarming departure from the traditional tenets of morality and the sanctity of childhood. We have become witness to a society that insists on immersing even its youngest in its fervent pursuit of rampant hedonism and societal self-indulgence. Continue reading

Massive outpouring of GiveSendGo support for Daniel Penny… Soros-prosecutors must be sweating bullets…

“It’s a challenging situation because nowadays, the majority of people tend to be bystanders who choose to capture acts of violence on their cell phones rather than stepping up as selfless heroes.”

(Revolver) Daniel Penny, the 24-year-old young man we’ve dubbed the “Marine Subway Hero,” turned himself into New York authorities on Friday after he heroically saved an entire subway train from a violent, mentally ill madman named Jordan Neely.

A massive outpouring of support on GiveSendGo must have the Soros prosecutors working this case sweating. As of publication, the legal fund has already raised a stunning $736,251. Continue reading

The Pentecostalization of Christian Worship

“Each of these three represent a break from historic Christian worship, which emphasized  both beauty and simplicity, maintained a Gospel-shaped worship service, and sought a carefully planned, corporate, and Appollonian expression of worship.”

(David de Bruyn – Religious Affections) It’s hardly disputable that global Christianity has been overwhelmed and colonized by the Pentecostal and charismatic movements. After Roman Catholicism, the Christianity identified variously as charismatic, Pentecostal, Prosperity Gospel, or Latter Rain (with all its permutations and differences) makes up by far the largest percentage of what is classified as Christian. In just over 100 years since its beginnings in Azusa Street, California, it has come to dominate Christianity, and particularly the Christianity spreading in the Global South and South-east. The growing and new-born Christianity in South America, Africa, and south-east Asia is overwhelmingly of the Pentecostal kind. Continue reading

Half the Country’s Governors Unite to Defend Women’s Sports Against Biden’s Title IX Rewrite

(Spencer Brown – Townhall) Once again, Biden’s abdication of strong leadership to protect Americans’ way of life at the federal level means state leaders are stepping in to fight for common sense.

This time, America’s governors are responding to the Biden administration’s announcement of new Title IX rules that expand the definition of “discrimination” to include “gender identity” in a move which would prevent educational institutions from protecting female athletes and women’s sports. Essentially, it would require schools and colleges receiving federal funds from requiring student athletes to play on teams for their biological sex. Continue reading

The Lauren Daigle Songs You Sing in Your Church Were Written by a Homosexual

(The Dissenter) Perhaps your memory stretches back to 2018, when the acclaimed Christian musician, Lauren Daigle, found herself at the center of a maelstrom? Her notoriety was not merely the result of her “angelic voice,” but her intriguing venture onto the openly lesbian Ellen DeGeneres show. To discerning Christians, her appearance was nothing more than an ill-conceived attempt to curry favor with left-wing sympathizers—she simply dismissed the Scriptures to promote herself and her music. Continue reading

Federal Judge Moves Against Biden Administration Just Moments Before Title 42 Expires

“In a statement, per the Los Angeles Times, Customs and Border Protection claimed the judge’s ruling would make its immigration detention facilities too crowded.”

(Richard Moorhead – The Western Journal) A federal judge is throwing a wrench into President Joe Biden’s immigration policy as the southern border veers on the brink of chaos.

Judge T. Kent Wetherell II issued a two-week restraining order on the Biden administration on Thursday night, according to Fox News. Continue reading

(Protestia) Elaine Scott is a long-time North Point Community Church pastor, her involvement dating back nearly 30 years. From Membership & Baptism Coordinator to Care Ministry Coordinator, she’s now the Director of Women’s Groups at Woodstock City Church.

Disney+ Subscriptions Plummet by 4 Million as Studio Keeps Pushing Transgender, Drag Queen Content

Disney+’s Marvel series Loki recently revealed that its title character is “gender fluid.” The  animated Disney+series Baymax features a transgender “man” who menstruates and gives advice on which maxi pad to buy — “the one with wings.”

(David Ng – Breitbart) Disney+ subscriptions experienced a steep drop off during the first three months of 2023, with the woke streaming service losing a whopping 4 million customers globally. Overall, Disney’s streaming business continues to bleed money with no sign of profitability in sight. Continue reading

CNN issues statement in defense of Kaitlan Collins and its town hall with Trump

“Suddenly, show hosts and liberal pundits who have been on vacation from their fact-checking skills during Biden’s administration decided it was time to counter every statement Trump made. They came to the defense of the woman who accused Trump of sexual assault but ignored Tara Reade’s accusations against Biden…Joe Biden lies every time he speaks yet they never acknowledge that. That’s just Joe.”

(Karen Townsand – Hot Air) CNN hosted a town hall with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Wednesday night. CNN morning show host Kaitlan Collins was the moderator. The event was the first of many campaign events to come. CNN was outmatched. Continue reading

Julie Kelly Predicts Donald Trump Will Be Imprisoned Pending Trial

“I can see [prosecutor] Jack Smith seeking pretrial detention for Donald Trump, which is exactly what they’ve done in every defendant who’s been charged with seditious conspiracy.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Julie Kelly predicts Donald Trump will be charged and imprisoned pending trial for seditious conspiracy among other charges.

Julie Kelly, Editor of American Greatness, has been highly critical of the Proud Boys trial and conviction, calling it a Kangaroo Court. They face 20 years in prison for seditious conspiracy and another 20 for obstruction based mostly on texts and other communications. Continue reading

Investigative Journalist James O’Keefe Exposes Massive Democrat Election Fraud!

“James O’Keefe is one of the last true investigative journalists of our time. Tucker Carlson is yet another. Both of these men were released from their positions shortly after they exposed the criminal fraud perpetrating this country these days.”

(Mark S. Schwendau) James O’Keefe was the founder of the Project Veritas organization, famous for hidden camera “gotcha” interviews of people suspected of knowing things that are detrimental. This past February, he was dismissed from the non-profit he founded for allegedly being cruel to staffers and spending “an excessive amount of donor funds in the last three years on personal luxuries.” Continue reading

Self-Described Apostle Makes Absurd Claims About Spiritual Pregnancy: A Biblical Refutation of NAR Theology

(The Dissenter) NAR False Prophet, Jim Raley, while preaching at Ark Fellowship in Kannapolis, NC, says that God told him that the audience was “pregnant” and that they need to be prepared to “push” because they’re getting ready to “birth” something.

How stupid. The fact that anyone is willing to sit under such nonsense is a complete disaster and an indictment on not only the spiritual state of these lost souls, but the intellect of people in general. Continue reading

J6 Jackals Circle Trump

“The verdicts and rhetoric surrounding J6 trials are leading to one goal: the arrest and prosecution of Donald Trump”

(Julie Kelly – American Greatness) In 2002, David Frum, chief speechwriter for President George W. Bush, coined the phrase “axis of evil” to describe the despotic regimes of North Korea, Iran, and Iraq during the nascent stages of the global war on terror.

Today, Frum is warning the country about a different axis of evil that he believes similarly threatens the security of America and perhaps even the world: Donald Trump, the Oath Keepers, and the Proud Boys. Continue reading

Taking a Biblical Stand Against the LGBTQ Movements Assault on Life

“The Scripture, in Matthew 18:6, reveals that leading children into sin is a dangerous pursuit, inevitably results in death and destruction.” 

(The Dissenter) The Bible asserts, with unyielding conviction, that when God passes judgment upon a nation, He subjects them to a whirlwind of unbridled sexual immorality. Delving into Romans 1, we discover that this phenomenon transcends mere sexual anarchy; it surpasses the bounds of libertinism. This is not some chaotic carnival where one can pick and choose their involvement in this movement. In this grand spectacle, personal choice is an illusion. Continue reading

House probe unveils fresh evidence contradicting Joe Biden claims about family’s foreign deals

“Rep. James Comer’s second report lifts veil on money from Romanian corruption figure, direct Chinese payments.”

(John Solomon – Just the News) The House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Wednesday directly challenged President Joe Biden’s claims about his family’s overseas business deals, providing fresh evidence his son Hunter got money directly from China, was involved in a business deal with a Romanian figure accused of corruption and helped arrange for one of his foreign business associates to meet with his father’s vice presidential office. Continue reading

Medications That Can Cause Memory Loss

“Taking multiple medications can also cause loss of memory function.”

(Lynn Allison – Newsmax) That memory loss, brain fog or confusion you are experiencing could be due to a medication you are taking. While alcohol and drug abuse, cigarette smoking, sleep deprivation, vitamin B12 deficiency, and of course Alzheimer’s disease and depression can trigger loss of memory, drugs in your medicine chest can have memory robbing powers, too.

According to AARP, these are some examples: Continue reading

IG bombshell: Workers at HHS child migrant centers unvetted for sex offense, child abuse history

“Department watchdog’s explosive findings land amid growing alarm at reports of lax oversight and economic exploitation of unaccompanied child migrants following a New York Times report that resttlement office lost track of 85,000 unaccompanied migrant children.”

(Addison Smith – Just the News) An explosive new federal watchdog report found that emergency holding centers hurriedly opened by the Office of Refugee Resettlement to accommodate a Biden-era surge of unaccompanied minors at the southern border have been lax in vetting employees for child abuse and neglect and sexual offenses. Continue reading

Religious Riptide: Eastern Spirituality Comes West – A Short History

“A study of the Bagavad Gita, the Rig Veda, the Upanishads, the writings of Confucius and Lao Tsu, the sayings of Buddha, the life of Muhammad, I Ching, Tai Chi, Kung Fu, pyramid power, astrology, astral projection, Zen Buddhism, the Egyptian and Tibetan books of the dead, primitive tribal religion, shamanism, spiritualism, Greek mythology, Greek philosophy, and a host of lesser dabblings brought me no closer to peace of mind or health of soul.”

(Carl Teichrib – Midwest Christian Outreach) Secularism didn’t supplant religion in the Western world, as some Twentieth Century humanists had anticipated. Instead, new spiritual expressions and movements entered the landscape, often with roots firmly planted in the metaphysical soil of the East. This article, excerpted from my bookGame of Gods: The Temple of Man in the Age of Re-Enchantment, explores some of these changes. Continue reading

Tucker Laughs While the Bloodbath Continues at Fox News

“Tucker seems to be having a blast, saying whatever he wants without some faux-conservative network honcho ordering him to reel it in, to tone it down.”

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Tucker Carlson seems to be enjoying his time away from his now-defunct Fox News show, while the network’s primetime lineup continues its descent into ratings nothingness.

Last week I reported that “young people have abandoned Fox News in primetime” following Tucker’s abrupt removal from his popular 8 p.m. weeknight talk show…. Continue reading
