Teacher Defends Drag Queen Makeup Class: Parents ‘Don’t Know What’s Best’ for Their Children

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , , , , , ,

“Parents believe they should be able to storm the school in the name of political and religious beliefs if something happens in the school that they are morally opposed to. They forget that we make a promise to prepare their children to live in a diverse world. We are not required to protect the misguided, bigoted views of their parents.”

(Mikaela Mathews – Christian Headlines) A Texas school district has come under fire for allowing a drag queen to teach makeup to a high school cosmetology class. Continue reading →

Chick-fil-A ‘Betrayal’ Will Have ‘Far Broader’ Consequences Than the Company Itself

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , , , ,

“The great irony was Chick-fil-A said, ‘We’re not going to work for the Salvation Army anymore because we’re going to focus on homelessness and feeding people,’ and they disassociated themselves from the number one homeless and feeding organization in the world,” the former governor added. “That makes no sense.”

(Susan Berry – Breitbart)  Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said the decision of Chick-fil-A to end its charitable donations to Christian organizations such as the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes “does not win them friends” but will, instead, “cost them friends.” Continue reading →

Which Movies Are ‘Culturally Outdated’?

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , , , , ,

We’re informed the “woke” syllabus of Disney errors is much longer, and more recent. In The Jungle Book (1967), somehow King Louie and the orangutans were stand-ins for “foolish and criminal” African-Americans.  The “churlish hyenas” in “The Lion King” (1994) could represent “racial minorities who live on the wrong side of the tracks.”

(Brent Bozell & Tim Graham – News Busters) Disney is launching its “Disney Plus” live-streaming service, which promises to be tremendously popular, which is unfortunate. “Experts” from the enlightened side of the tracks are unscrolling their grievances about how the Disney film catalogue is full of racism, sexism, and loathsome bigotry of all sorts.

Texas pregnancy centers offer mixed messages by offering abortifacient contraceptives

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , , ,

The Source rejects the premise that offering contraception encourages promiscuity, and frames its services as an intentional contrast from the rest of the pro-life movement. “It helps to show that not every pro-life activist says, ‘Put an aspirin between your legs and don’t have sex.’”

(Calvin Freiburger – LifeSiteNews) – As the Trump administration opens the door to legitimate health organizations receiving money that previously went to the abortion industry, pro-life pregnancy centers are hoping to seize the opportunity to grow. But one Texas-based pregnancy center alliance is trying to do so with an inconsistent stand on birth-control methods that can function as abortifacients. Continue reading →

English Singer Threatens Canceling Halftime Thanksgiving NFL Show Unless Salvation Army Makes ‘Pledge Or Donation’ To LGBT Community

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , ,

“Upon researching this, I have reached out to The Salvation Army and said that I would have no choice but to pull out unless they very quickly make a solid, committed pledge or donation to the LGBTQ community. I am a committed philanthropist as you probably know, and my heart has always been in helping the homeless, but supporting an anti-LGBTQ charity is clearly not something I would ever intentionally do. Thank you for drawing my attention to this.”

(Hank Barrien – Daily Wire)  On Tuesday, English singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding warned that she will cancel her scheduled performance on Thanksgiving at halftime of the Dallas Cowboys football game unless the Salvation Army makes a “solid, committed pledge or donation to the LGBTQ community.” Continue reading →

“[We] would challenge all platforms to make sure that within the next two years, half of LGBTQ characters on every platform are people of color. While broadcast has actually hit this mark two years in a row, cable and streaming have yet to reach this goal. These two steps are key moves towards ensuring that entertainment reflects the world in which it is created and the audience who consumes it.”

Pelagian Heretic, Tony Evans, is Who the ‘Woke Church’ is Holding Up as an Example of Great Black Theologian

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , , , , , ,

You can listen to the audio yourself — you don’t have to take my word for it. The point here is that if this is who they are elevating as one of the greatest modern black theologians, this just validates what James White said in his video. Interestingly, who I didn’t see any of these woke warriors name is Voddie Baucham or Conrad Mbewe — truly great black theologians of our time.

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  If you’ve been following the happenings at all in the latest “woke church” attack on conservative white people, you’re probably aware that “Woke Church” author and pastor, Eric Mason, recently launched an attack on James White by posting a clip of an old video out of context of White critiquing the bad theology rampant in black churches.

The media protected Jeffrey Epstein and crucified Brett Kavanaugh

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , , ,

“It should be added here that Page Six, the New York Post’s gossip column, had reported on ABC’s George Stephanopoulos attending parties at Epstein’s townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. This not only gives the lie to the excuse that Epstein was insignificant, but it also offers a motive for top brass at ABC to do what they did. … ABC News, ostensibly a news organization, sat on one of the biggest and most consequential stories of the past decade. By the company’s explanation, this was for the sake of an editorial standard, a standard that was strangely missing from its coverage of another significant moment in recent U.S. history.”

(Editors – Washington Examiner) Is it any wonder the American public distrusts the media? Continue reading →

“According to multiple sources, Crist has exploited his Christian reputation and platform to harass, manipulate and exploit young women over the last seven years. The allegations include, but are not limited to, individually sexting multiple women during the same time period, initiating sexual relationships with married women and women in committed relationships, offering show tickets in exchange for sexual favors and repeatedly calling these women late at night while drunk.”

“[T]he smoking gun evidence provided by Mefferd against Mohler was audio clips from interviews conducted in 1997 with key leaders in the SBC during the tail-end of the Conservative Resurgence who claim that Mohler is a convinced progressive and liberal and did not change his views (or appear to) until it was clear that his side would lose the denominational battle.”

If Mexico needs or requests help in cleaning out these monsters, the United States stands ready, willing & able to get involved and do the job quickly and effectively.

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , ,

“We have communicated to James that he needs to find a small group of godly brothers to restore him biblically in the spirit of gentleness.

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ ,

“Osborne…has a history with Driscoll dating back 15 years and served on Mars Hill’s Board of Accountability (BOAA) and Advisors until Mars Hill closed in 2015. In 2014, when the church planting network Acts 29 kicked Driscoll out of its organization for “ungodly and disqualifying behavior,” the BOAA refused to do the same. Since then, Osborne has continued to partner with Driscoll, speaking at Driscoll’s church, endorsing Driscoll’s books, and speaking with Driscoll at ministry events.”

(Julie Roys) Mark Driscoll, the disgraced, former pastor of Mars Hill Church who resigned amid allegations of bullying and abuse of power, is slated to headline Sticky Teams West 2020—a “premier leadership conference,” on building “healthy, thriving ministries.” As a result, sponsors are dropping their support of the conference.

Prosperity health & wealth preacher Paula White, who is one of President Trump’s spiritual advisers, once asked her followers to give a “first fruits” financial offering claiming that there are “consequences” for those who don’t do so out of “ignorance or direct disobedience.” White urged people to click on a donate button to give their first fruits offering to her ministry. “I want you to click on that button,” she pleaded, “and I want you to honor God with His first fruits offering.” At one time there was a YouTube video of this but, not surprisingly, it’s no longer available. As well, any mention that she encouraged people to give a “first fruits” offering has been removed from her website (More here). Word of Faith/prosperity/health & wealth/name-it-and-claim-it beliefs are unbiblical. In fact, the prosperity gospel saves no one.… Continue reading →

Dordt (Christian) University Now Teaching Gender is Determined by Clothing Choice

The instructor’s clip says “Gender…is your own internal sense of self, how you express yourself, cultural expectations for what it means to be a man and a woman, or one’s biological sex.”

(Pulpit & Pen)  A Christian University in America’s heartland originally named after the Synod of Dordrecht – an important council of Protestant Reformed history that opposed Arminianism – has apparently adopted a science-fiction view of gender and is now teaching that it is determined by clothing choice rather than God’s immutable decrees as revealed in human biology.

Massachusetts Bill Would Legalize Abortions Up to Birth, Allow Infanticide

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , , , ,

“The pro-life organization posed the scenario of a pregnant 13-year-old who could be abandoned to her sexual abuser and forced into an abortion without her parents’ knowledge. Parental consent laws help protect young girls from abuse and help ensure that they make an informed decision before ending their baby’s life.”

(Micaiah Bilger – Life News) Massachusetts abortion activists upped the pressure this week on state lawmakers to pass a bill legalizing abortions for basically any reason up to birth. Continue reading →
