‘Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant’: Pastor John MacArthur Enters Glory

(David Morrill) John Fullerton MacArthur Jr. (1939–2025) — pastor, teacher, author, and a stalwart defender of biblical truth — has entered the presence of his Lord and Savior at 6:17pm PT on July 14th, 2025 after a lifetime of faithful ministry. With profound sorrow yet deeper gratitude, we at Protestia mourn the earthly loss of a man whose legacy towers across the landscape not merely of conservative, reformed evangelicalism, but the universal church as a whole.

MacArthur served as the pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California for over 50 years, beginning in 1969. His long and faithful expositional ministry through every book of the Bible became a model of verse-by-verse preaching, setting a standard for generations of pastors. Under his leadership, Grace Church was not merely a local congregation but a beacon of doctrinal stability. Continue reading

(Matt Vespa – Townhall) It’s over, folks. President Trump and congressional Republicans aimed to pass the reconciliation package by July 4, and they succeeded. It was a tumultuous journey, as there were more than a few Republicans who tried to make a spectacle, causing unnecessary drama throughout the procedural phase, but it’s now over. The House passed the big, beautiful bill, which means the Trump tax cuts are made permanent, illegals are kicked off Medicaid, and the immigration enforcement agenda is fully funded. The border was secure, and it will remain safe. Continue reading

BREAKING: Senate Passes the ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) After days of gridlock and backroom wrangling, the Senate passed the “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” the legislative linchpin of his second-term agenda. The tally was 51 yeas and 50 nays, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tiebreaking vote.

Can G3 Recover From The Josh Buice Scandal?

They Really Did Lie to Us About the ‘Vaccine’ Preventing Transmission

I looked at the monkey studies. And when they gave the vaccine to monkeys, to macaques, and then they exposed them to wild virus, the vaccinated monkeys had the same amount of viral concentration in their nasal pharynx as the unvaccinated monkeys. And right then, I said, “Game over.”

(Mary Dowling) Human Perspectives posted the clip below on X, and it’s a good reminder that what we can’t believe is happening is happening. They really did lie over and over about the vaccine preventing transmission, and they knew they were lying. In our heart of hearts, we all know they were lying. Continue reading
