“Is there a Biblical model of church conferences? With all the valuable information the Scriptures provide on how the church should function, one wonders whether there are examples of conferences in the early church. Actually, there are some. Paul calls the Ephesian elders to meet with him in Miletus, where he counsels them to “pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood” (Acts 20:28, ESV). It is one of the first pastor retreats in church history. Paul wants to impart the wisdom he has gathered for many years into the hearts of these men.”
(Matt Borrusch – TruthScript) I love Christian conferences. While I am thankful to God for placing me in a solid local church, there is something about getting away, meeting, and fellowshipping with other believers that I don’t see regularly. It is like going to visit your cousins on vacation. You never stop loving your immediate siblings, but it is exciting to catch up, reminisce, and learn from other relatives who can tell you their latest stories, hardships, and advice….

(Protestia) Prominent evangelical teaching and preaching ministry G3 is shutting down “effective immediately,” according to a brief email they sent to Network church partners that was obtained by Protestia.
“These cases involve very different circumstances, but both highlight the devastating consequences that severe postpartum mental illness can have, and both raise a question that deserves serious attention: What happens when postpartum effects become severe, when the people around a struggling mother fail to recognize the danger, and when treatment does not adequately address the crisis?”
Appalled by Piker’s deliberate mockery of the man who had once been his close friend and mentor, Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet
(Bill O’Reilly) Abraham Lincoln was the most loathed President in history; 
“Today, whole churches and even some denominations are engaged in deconstructing the “faith once delivered to the saints,” in fact creating a whole new God who is more to their liking, and a gospel that suits their modern sensibilities.”
“As we watch the ugliness unfold, there are lessons for us. Don’t just ‘tut tut’ from the sidelines. When we see something like this happen, remember that sinners be sinning and we’re sinners too. We need to remember our gut reaction to seeing people’s sin exposed, and remember it’s just as ugly when we ourselves gossip, slander, cause division, and deceive…”
“G3 isn’t really the problem. It’s just one manifestation of the real problem. The real problem is the monster we’ve built as evangelicals—the Evangelical Industrial Complex. The evangelical speaking circuit has become one of the most profitable ways for church leaders to line their pockets.”
“One wonders how this itch to discredit or destroy their adversaries by anonymous dirty tricks crept into G3’s DNA. This will be another scandal G3 did not need, and it is one they probably cannot survive. The organization frankly should not survive if anyone on the inside who knew about or participated in this plot remains in leadership.”
“First, what is a Democrat socialist? Marketing aside, it’s a communist. The official platform wants public ownership of corporations to seize the means of production. They want to “abolish the carceral state, which means no police, no prisons, of course, no guns for self-defense, so we are sheep to the slaughter….'”
“But this clown bypasses the entire debate by pretending that God has disclosed the answer to these charismatic windbags through “prophetic dreams.” He turns his own personal political views into divine revelation and then declares that the Christians can have “zero doubt” that this is all from God. And who wants to oppose God, right?”
“In recent American history, many have seen Jesus as fire insurance. Praying a prayer to believe in Him means that you’re not going to go to hell. However, people who go down this path, flippantly believing in Jesus, are often unconverted because they don’t understand His true teaching.”
“In the most aggressive point in the debate, Andrew Wilson makes an attempt to force Candace Owens to defend her conspiracy mongering at the 2:34:00 timestamp: “Do you actually believe that anybody in TPUSA or Erika Kirk […] actually participated, had foreknowledge of, or facilitated the murder of Charlie Kirk?” This was an excellent way to put the question to Candace, such that she’d have no choice but to take a stand one way or the other….”
(Amy Spreeman – Berean Research) I recently received a letter from a women’s ministry asking about speaking in tongues, after several of the group’s members discussed their own personal experiences praying to God in a private prayer language. Additionally, because the New Testament seems to be encouraging tongue-speaking in church, they asked if this gift was still alive and practiced biblically today. Great questions!
“With Christian Post, there appear to be few illegal aliens unworthy of amnesty, as even criminal records do not merit deportation automatically.”
“Christ is the head of the church. The church does not need popes, cardinals, celebrity theologians, or anyone else to stand in that role. The ordinary ministry of the word is within the context of the local church and faithful preaching.”
(Linda Kimball – Renew America) “They who are called devils (demons; fallen powers) attempt…to seduce men from God who made them, and from Christ His first-begotten.” Justin Martyr, 2nd century A.D., Apology 58. (Crucial Questions About Spiritual Warfare, Clinton E. Arnold, p. 40)
“This gives false teachers like Kathryn Krick enormous power. They supposedly have the spiritual gift to locate and detect these invisible spirits, communicate directly to them, revoke their “legal rights,” and pronounce the victim free. But if the problem continues, which it always does, the victim returns for another session rather than questioning the false teaching.”
“The truth of it is, the entire movement was demonic. The youth did drop out, of society, of college, from families. They wandered, spiritually and physically, into new realms. Realms of depravity such as experimenting with homosexuality and lesbianism. Realms of mind-altering drugs. Realms of different living situations such as polygamy or ‘free love’ communes.”
“The COVID-19 pandemic feels like a fever dream now. Six years later, it’s almost impossible to believe any of it actually happened: the lockdowns, the shuttered schools, the toilet paper craze, the stupid barriers at supermarkets, the masked toddlers, and the businesses destroyed overnight.”
“While the Arc Institute researchers took strict safety measures, watchdogs warn the core technology opens the door to danger. If an AI can master whole-genome design to construct bacteria-killers, it could be only a matter of time before high-tech bad actors attempt to prompt similar language models to invent hyper-lethal, highly transmissible human plagues.”
“If leadership believed TPT was a faithful rendering of the Word of God, they would defend it. If they believed Simmons was exposed as a fraud, they would renounce it. Instead, they chose the third way beloved by every compromised institution under heat: delay, reframe, and hope the news cycle moves.“
