Who Will Replace Wray at the FBI?

“Nearly four years hence, the FBI’s failure to identify the person who planted those pipe bombs at both the Democrat and Republican Party headquarters in one of the most heavily surveilled areas in the entire world, even though the bureau released video footage of the suspect sitting on a bench in front of the DNC while using his cellphone, is, shall we say, deeply mysterious.”

(Douglas Andrews – The Patriot Post) “Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI. It’s not happening — In his own words, ‘I have never even given it a thought.’ Not happening.”

So said Trump Senior Advisor Dan Scavino on Friday in response to a question about who’d fill one of the leading posts for which the president-elect has yet to announce a nominee: FBI director…. Continue reading

Losing a Pet and Glorifying God

“If you have a pet, be reminded that your pet is a gift, and worship the Giver of that gift. If you have recently lost a pet… not only did God take your pet at His appointed time, but He did so for a particular reason. Praise the Lord for His kindness, in giving you an undeserved gift.”

(Henry Anderson – The Cripplegate) My wife and I got a Basset Hound shortly after we got married, around nine years ago. He was a floppy-eared, droopy-eyed, ball of joy. When looking at the litter, we chose the most rambunctious, outgoing little puppy. We named him… Maverick. Not only did the meaning of the name suit him at first glance, but he grew into and filled out that name more than we could ever have expected. Continue reading

Discerning Dietrich Bonhoeffer

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Angel Studios distributed film, Bonhoeffer: Pastor Spy Assassin is being marketed as a faith-based film by several figures in rightwing media and Evangelicalism. Similar to Sound of Freedom, Angel Studios is trying to sell movie tickets that will not be realized to inflate the box office performance. But where Sound of Freedom tells a story highlighting the disgusting underbelly of human trafficking, Bonhoeffer is yet another WWII movie, but one that celebrates a teacher who lacked sound doctrine and practice. The movie is a romanticized version of the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and every clip Angel Studios has promoted features horrendous acting, cartoon villains, and cheesy inspirational dialog. This is a faith-based film more than a war film, like the Tom Cruise Valkyrie movie. But it’s worth noting including “assassin” in the title of the Bonhoeffer movie completely overstates his contribution to attempts on Adolf Hitler’s life. Continue reading

Chaos at Daystar Television Network Amid Terminations, Sex Abuse Scandals, and Heresy Galore

Since its founding, Daystar has platformed the who’s who of prosperity heretics and false teachers, including Joyce Meyer, Sid Roth, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Jentezen Franklin, TD Jakes, Andrew Womack, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Jim Bakker, and Paula White.”

(Protestia) Days ago, it was announced that Jonathan Lamb, the son of Daystar Television Network founders Marcus and Joni Lamb, had been fired from the global Christian network giant. According to Daystar, Lamb was terminated as head of the network’s cafe, facilities, and distribution department for failing to meet his performance improvement plan. Notably, one of the points of this plan included: Continue reading

Wait Until You Hear What Planned Parenthood Was Just Caught Doing

“The heavily redacted plan stated that the project would harvest fetuses from four weeks up until six months old from patients undergoing “elective surgical pregnancy termination” who are carrying viable, non-anomalous fetuses at Planned Parenthood.” 

(Sarah Arnold Townhall) The nation’s largest abortion clinic was caught selling 23-week-old aborted babies for research— the same clinic that argues they are “saving” women’s lives.  Continue reading

Stunning Testimony by Dr. Marty Makary

(Mary Dowling) This is amazing testimony from Dr. Marty Makary, a surgeon and researcher at Johns Hopkins.  He is a highly respected Johns Hopkins surgical Oncologist and Health Policy Expert. It confirms what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been saying for years. He might become one of your favorites among Donald Trump’s nominees. He will make you a believer.

“I’m trained in gastrointestinal surgery. My group at Johns Hopkins does more pancreatic cancer surgery than any hospital in the United States. But at no point in the last 20 years has anyone stopped to ask, why has pancreatic cancer doubled over those 20 years?” Continue reading

Diabolical: MSNBC Anyalyst Laments José Ibarra’s Fate

“MSNBC is in free fall, and to be honest, the best thing that could happen is for the network to be fire-sold with its denizens scattered to the four winds and forced to seek honest work. Either the reporters and writers have become such dead-eyed, slack-jawed, drool-faced acolytes of progressivism that they are hopelessly mired in their hatred for all things that lean right in any way that they cannot summon one ounce of compassion for Laken, her family, or anyone else who has suffered from crimes at the hands of illegals — or they are evil.” 

(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) It’s not uncommon in this line of work to say that the legacy media “beclowns” itself. But the latest offering from MSNBC is such a horrifically tone-deaf, unbelievably narcissistic exercise in left-wing talking points that the network deserves no quarter. There are differences of opinion, and there is propaganda. Continue reading

With Matt Gaetz Gone, Establishment Media Targets Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard

(Wendell Husebo – Breitbart) Perhaps the biggest losers of Matt Gaetz’s confirmation defeat are cabinet nominees Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard.

Hegseth, nominated for defense secretary, and Gabbard, nominated for national intelligence director, now appear to be the main targets of the establishment media from among President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees.

The media will endlessly report on the alleged dangers of their nominations after successfully helping to defeat Gaetz from consideration for attorney general. Continue reading

Righteous Fury – And Why Not Being Angry Is Sometimes A Sin

“…Christians may do well to remember that although we trust a sovereign God with every outcome in such times, we are still called to love the things that God loves and hate those things which God hates. This is not denying God’s sovereignty, it is the enthusiastic affirmation of that sovereignty.” 

(Josh Howard – Clear Truth Media) Anger is not a sin. At least, anger isn’t necessarily a sin. Like many other things, sin can easily creep into the situation and cause anger to become a sinful passion, but anger by itself is not necessarily a sinful response. So a Christian might find a situation where they can be angry, and yet without sin. But further still, there are certain times when a Christian not only can be angry, they should be angry. Sometimes when a Christian lacks anger, that lack of anger can itself be a sinful response. Continue reading

Was Trump Doing His 4-D Chess Thing With His Attorney General Picks?

“Given Pam Bondi’s close personal and professional relationship with Donald Trump, why wasn’t she his first choice? Since we’re having fun with the 4-D chess idea, we have to wonder if the plan always was to eventually have her be the nominee.” 

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) We’re going to have some quick fun today.

There’s been an ongoing joke since the beginning of Donald Trump’s first term in office. It was popular with both his detractors and supporters alike, for different reasons…. Continue reading

Bill O’Reilly reveals inside scoop on what’s really happening to MSNBC and The View, and it’s about time…

“Word on the street is that massive layoffs are looming over at CNN. But the real shocker is what’s happening behind the scenes at MSNBC and The View. According to Bill O’Reilly, there are some very sneaky moves underway to pull these shows off the air, as they continue to drag down NBC News and ABC News like anchors on a sinking ship.”

(Revolver) There’s a lot up in the air right now about what will unfold after the biggest and most historic election of our lifetime. One thing we know for certain is that President Trump is assembling the ultimate America First team, but we also know the Deep State will stop at nothing to stand in his way. This is truly a battle of good versus evil, and our fight is just getting started. Continue reading

The Deity of Christ and the Sovereignty of God

 

30 “I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30 translated from the NA28 Greek text)

I read the following paragraph from one of my devotions the other day:

Visible disunity in the church is the worst it has ever been, but we must take care not to think that God’s people were once fully and visibly united on all matters of Christian living. Christians may have the Holy Spirit, but they are not free from sin in this life, and living in community with other believers always leads to disagreements…Continue reading

Why the Deep State is afraid of Matt Gaetz

UPDATE BELOW

“Barack Hussein Obama would not have been elected president if he had been subjected to the CARL test. But members of Congress also evade the security clearance process.”

(Cliff Kincaid – RenewAmerica) I have examined the reports about the sex charges against President Trump’s nominee for attorney General, Matt Gaetz, and can find no proof. In fact, Biden’s DOJ and FBI never charged him with a sex crime. Senator Tommy Tuberville says, “Prove he’s a criminal,” otherwise confirm him to the job. There is no proof. So we are left to conclude that the charges are a smokescreen to derail his nomination because he has been such a vociferous critic of the DOJ and the FBI. Continue reading

Oldest president-elect Trump picks multigenerational nominees after winning younger voters

“During Trump’s prior administration, the average age of his nominees for attorney general, secretary of defense, and secretary of state was 67, compared to the current average age of 46 for nominees of those positions for this term.” 

(Natalia Mittelstadt – Just the News) While Donald Trump is the oldest president-elect in U.S. history, his picks for White House staffers and Cabinet nominees are multigenerational, following a trend of reaching across the generation divide during his campaign. Continue reading

Disney Removes Children’s Cartoon Episode About Transgender Athletes

“Disney has not made any statements on shelving the episode, but if the episode was dumped over the pro-trans content, it would reveal a brand-new direction for the entertainment giant which, until now, has been not just ultra woke, but militantly so.”

(Warner Todd Huston – Breitbart) Disney has reportedly decided to shelve an episode of the children’s cartoon series Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, apparently over its plot concerning a transgender high school athlete.

The Mouse House has decided not to air the episode entitled “Gatekeeper,” which features story praising a boy who identifies as a girl and who battles against opposition to his playing on a high school volleyball team. Continue reading

Travesty: Elderly Vet Told to Remove Trump Signs or FEMA Officials Would View Him As ‘Domestic Terrorist’

“The elderly homeowners were so frightened by this and afraid that they would not recover their loss that they removed the signs. Nevertheless, FEMA has not returned to their residence. This took place not in Florida, but Georgia.”

(Rusty Weiss – Red State) Chair of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer (R-KY), revealed that a new whistleblower has come forward alleging another incident of discrimination at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The allegations point to a FEMA contractor who suggested disaster victims with signs supporting Donald Trump outside their homes were viewed by officials as “domestic terrorists.” Continue reading

The Hidden Life

1 Therefore, if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. 3 For you died and your life has been hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-3 (LSB) 

Our salvation is the start of our new life in Christ. We will never be more saved than we were at that moment. When God justifies one of His people by faith, that declaration is complete and eternal. (Romans 8:30) Also, each saved person receives the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 1:13) That is all of the Holy Spirit each of them will ever have. However, God’s will for each of His children is their sanctification. (1 Thessalonians 4:3) This is a process through which God conforms them unto the image of the Son. Continue reading

Deconstruction is the Highway to Sexual Anarchy

“So why do people keep deconstructing? Because they believe the lie. The lie that freedom is found in autonomy. The lie that sin isn’t really sin. The lie that God’s Word can be twisted without consequence.”

(The Dissenter) You’ve heard of deconstruction, it’s a term being tossed around increasingly frequently within Christian circles. But what exactly is deconstruction? It’s the trendy, intellectual-sounding label for what’s really just old-fashioned doubt dressed up in new clothes. Continue reading

The Shift In Child Rearing That Has Destroyed The American Family

“Women began to adopt a proprietary view of child rearing, believing that proper outcomes depended on THEIR devotion, THEIR dedication, and THEIR doing. “Mothering” became a works-based cult-religion of sorts, the implicit understanding being that the more a mother did for her child, the better a mother she was, which is why women often complain that parenting wears them down to a nub.”

(John Rosemond – Clear Truth Media) What happened to child rearing in America between 1965 (the publication of Between Parent and Child, by New York psychologist Haim Ginott) and 1980 (the publication of How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk by family counselors Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish) is known as a paradigm shift, defined as a fundamental change in the understandings and procedures that inform a certain practice.    Continue reading

WAR

“Okay. Here is what Donald Trump believes: the majority of Americans want him to avenge perceived political corruption and not just drain the swamp; they want the morass annihilated.”

(Bill O’Reilly) “It’s business, not personal, Sonny.” – Tom Hagen to Sonny Corleone in “The Godfather”

President Trump is going to the mattresses.  He is bent on dismantling the Washington power structure, which has demeaned and persecuted him.  Many were shocked when he nominated Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General.  But why the surprise?  Gaetz is a dynamiter who would cleanse the Justice Department of leftist partisans.  That’s the plan, although the Senate will not confirm Mr. Gaetz. Continue reading

Cru Mourns Trump Victory In Leaked Devotionals

“The fact that Cru believed the 2024 election results are something to grieve over is rooted solely in secular liberalism.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Cru, formerly known as Campus Crusade For Christ, is the most prominent campus evangelism ministry. However, they have been subverted by wokeness for several years, wholeheartedly embracing Critical Race Theory and also getting exposed this year for training material that affirms homosexuality. Cru has reportedly ended its curriculum that relied heavily on Side B Theologian, Preston Sprinkle but did not repent for its past compromises. The latest actions within Cru reveal that wokeness is still alive and institutionalized at Cru. Continue reading

New Rule: Evangelicals Who Opposed Trump Don’t Get to Counsel Him

“Meanwhile, this is a prediction: In coming weeks and months, the Evangelical Intelligentsia will lament with great sorrow and at great volume, that Donald Trump has surrounded himself with evangelicals who have sub-standard doctrine. They will, with the weeping and gnashing of teeth, see that he has surrounded himself with the likes of Paula White or Mark Driscoll. That’s their fault. They own that. Evangelicals who opposed Trump need to sit in time-out. In the corner. With their nose in it.”

(Protestia) Woke evangelicals, who have opposed Donald Trump every step of the journey, are busying trying to offer advice to the new regime. Don’t let them.

Beginning in 2013, with the coronation of Russell Moore at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the Evangelical Intelligentsia presented itself as the helpful companions of the Obama Administration and only reluctant co-belligerents (at best) with the rest of us. Continue reading

Exclusive: Pentagon ‘Scrambling,’ Wiping Evidence of DEI as Trump Readies to Fire Woke Generals

One source familiar with the plan told Breitbart News that an executive order has been drafted to create a panel to recommend those senior officers for elimination and that the EO is “definitely” going to Trump’s desk. “This is for real. This [EO] has made the cut,” the source said, adding that it is possible that it is still being revised and consulted with incoming leaders at the Pentagon.” 

(Kristina Wong – Breitbart) The Pentagon is in “absolute disarray” with “generals scrambling” due to the incoming Trump administration’s plans to fire woke senior military leaders who prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over combat readiness, according to sources. Continue reading

The Apostate Church

30 “But as for you, son of man, the sons of your people who talk about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, speak to one another, each to his brother, saying, ‘Come now and hear what the word is which comes forth from Yahweh.’ 31 They come to you as people come and sit before you as My people and hear your words, but they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires expressed by their mouth, and their heart goes after their greedy gain. 32 Behold, you are to them like a lustful song by one who has a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument; for they hear your words but they do not do them. Ezekiel 33:30-32 (LSB) 

In the book of Revelation, chapters 2 and 3 contain the seven letters Christ dictated to John to be sent to seven churches that existed in John’s time in Asia Minor. I have heard several sermons and read some exposits of these chapters that were geared towards these seven churches each representing one of the seven church ages…. Continue reading

The Pastor Said What? Deception In Our Time

“How did we get here? I’ve observed that this slow but steady descent into the dark hole of a morally depraved society typically starts when church leaders embrace the ‘Love’ Gospel doctrine. This teaching says that we are simply to love everyone all the time. We must accept them and welcome them with open arms…”

(Amy Travis – Clear Truth Media) Last year, a prominent pastor hosted a pro-LGBT+ conference at his church. Holding an informational seminar on the topic isn’t a bad thing in and of itself. But when the focus is to normalize sexual depravity in the church—rather than offering compassionate ministry and an opportunity to repent—that’s a problem. Continue reading
