“Why would we publish a mostly negative review of a popular book that other discriminating reviewers have praised—a book that is likely to introduce new readers to the Puritans? Because at the end of the day, the book’s problems outweigh its benefits. The imbalanced view of Christ’s human character would be trouble enough. But Ortlund’s view of the divine character is the deal breaker—God as internally conflicted, moved by complex passions. Again, that idea is a dangerous and significant departure from classic theism.”
(Jeremiah Johnson – Grace to You) Where do you look for enduring comfort and security? The past twelve months [now almost three] have been a stark reminder that there is none to be found in this world. We’ve seen firsthand that nothing can guarantee our financial stability or physical health. In fact, the only constants seem to be chaos and corruption, as we languish under leaders that alternate between ineptitude and outright evil. It’s clear that we need a source of hope from outside this hopeless world. Continue reading
“There is one group of people that they consistently refuse to unite with: those who actually believe the scriptures, hold to sound doctrine, and contend for the faith. It seems that, in the eyes of these pro-unity evangelicals, such people are simply too divisive and unlovable. They are viewed as being stubbornly committed to their beliefs, unwilling to compromise or bend to the whims of the culture.”
“To sway the American people to accept lockdowns, professors with prestigious titles and affiliations denied scientific data about risks, effective mitigation and biological protection. They spouted politicized opinion as if it were objective truth and demonized views counter to their preferred narrative.”
“Abolitionists, or those who staunchly oppose abortion, are firm in the belief that the person responsible for the crime of rape or incest should be held accountable, not the innocent child who is conceived as a result. They view the child as a human being, made in the image of God, who does not deserve to be punished with death for the actions of their father.”
“The left is suffocating us with their crazed beliefs and values. If we don’t do it, they’ll call us names and destroy our reputations.”
“These findings may explain why highly vaccinated countries are seeing repeated waves of COVID that have not settled into a seasonal pattern like other coronaviruses. They certainly cannot be ignored, given what is known about IgG4 antibodies, the potential link to autoimmune disorders, and their effects on the immune system.”
“The case involving Kim Davis may be a vehicle to overturn Obergefell. This case is working its way back to the Supreme Court where one of the arguments will be that Obergefell was wrongly decided. Justices Thomas and Alito have already invited future challenges to the 2015 Obergefell marriage case since the decision was never constitutional.”
“This entire event is one big red flag on every level possible, and now Ruslan is right in there along with this, joining with these hucksters and money grubbers for a truly wretched event. We are not asserting that he agrees with all of this- maybe he does and maybe he doesn’t- but the lack of discernment involved to find himself among them is truly breathtaking, and shows how unqualified he really is.”
(Joel B. Pollack – Breitbart) The Biden administration will withdraw a Trump administration rule that would have allowed any healthcare worker to refuse to participate in abortions, sterilizations, or sex-change operations for reasons of conscience.
“The absurdity and immorality of Judge Molloy’s ruling are compounded by the fact that, despite the Public Health™ lie in the early days of the rollout that the jab stops transmission, we know now that it does not.”
“It is unclear whether Tim Mackie is intentionally trying to deceive or mislead people, but it is evident that his tendency to deny the literal existence of a Hell created by God for the eternal punishment of the reprobate raises concerns.”
“These people are de-growthers and de-populationaists. We will all go back to a time without modern conveniences, but we can turn on our devices to live in a far better, recreated virtual world resembling the real world – the Metaverse.”
(Tyler Durden – Zero Hedge) “In light of the imminent end of our investigation, the Select Committee can no longer pursue the specific information covered by the subpoena,” wrote Rep. Bernie Thompson (D-MI) in a Wednesday night letter sent to Trump’s attorneys, which was obtained by
Watch out!
“In normalizing homosexuality, our culture is determined to follow the example of ancient Roman culture. That culture eventually collapsed, of course. Apparently “conservatives” do not see the problem. Can Christians join the happy chorus?”
(The Dissenter) All Saints with Holy Trinity in Loughborough really pulled out all the stops this year with their inclusive and oh-so-woke revision of the classic Christmas carol “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen”. Instead of mentioning Jesus as the savior of sinners, the updated lyrics now reference “queer and questioning” individuals and “women, who by men have been erasing”.
“Dr. Shapira, former head of the Israeli Biological Institution, questions calling Pfizer and other COVID shots “vaccines.” The efficacy of something that lasts partially for maybe three months with severe adverse effects does not qualify as a vaccine.”
The platform suppressed true information from doctors and public-health experts that was at odds with U.S. government policy.
(Rachel Alexander – Townhall) The trial court judge in Kari Lake’s election lawsuit
“It is the duty of believers to refute this kind of “garbage” and defend the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Duplantis, who has been described as a serial Scripture-twister, a liar, and a wicked deceiver, has been accused of bilking his followers out of millions of dollars.”
“Levine clearly acknowledges that transitioning kids pushes them down a path to irreversible infertility. He wouldn’t trade his transitions later in life for his children, yet he’s not only advocating for young people to be mutilated and robbed of the joys of parenthood later in life, he’s also pushing for the censorship of voices who are speaking out against it…”
Parents are outraged, calling it the “new Pornography” and part of an “evil agenda.” Another parent said the gender ideology has become increasingly “predatory.”
“Originally, my position was that we should vaccinate the high-risk cohorts, including the elderly. And over time, as the data have come out and the analysis has come out from respected individuals, I’ve had to shift that position.”
