(Bob DeWaay) There are no extraordinary Christians; but being an ordinary Christian is an extraordinary thing. How I wish I would have understood that when I was a new Christian. But I didn’t. Soon after my conversion I began a quest to become the best possible Christian. In so doing I fell prey to teachings that promised me a Christian life superior to that of ordinary Christians. What I did not know was that I had embraced pietism. I didn’t become an extraordinary Christian and I did walk straight into error.
My journey into the “deeper life” oftentimes involved embracing contradictory teachings. For example, two of my favorite teachers in the early 1970’s were Watchman Nee and Kenneth Hagin. One taught a deeper Christian life through suffering [1]) and the other taught a higher order Christianity that could cause one to be free from bodily ailments and poverty.[2] The hook was that both claimed to have the secret to becoming an extraordinary Christian. I found out that they didn’t. Continue reading

“The damage that Peterson has done has been to allegorize and relativize Christ and the Bible into oblivion in the minds of many of his listeners. If you watch Peterson’s lectures and read his books without a pre-existing grounding in Scripture, you would walk away thinking that the Bible is a remarkable collection of stories that provide spiritual and psychological insights into how to live a virtuous, happy life. What you will not hear is the gospel.”
“The Right finally seems to be positioned to mount a much-needed counter-revolution and confront these imminent issues. Yes, there are grifters and content generators galore. But there are also patriots who are serving in key posts in the second Trump administration and founding startups that will revolutionize America.”
“People are feeling it—pride fatigue. That bone-deep, soul-level weariness that hits when you realize the world has traded morality for sexual chaos and now demands applause for the trade. They’re tired of having to pretend that they believe men can have babies. Tired of pretending that gender is a hat you try on at Target. Tired of smiling politely while someone’s mentally unstable grandpa in fishnets lectures the world on authenticity.”
Jill’s advisors were allegedly running the show, along with Jill? Not Barack? “They particularly focus on Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini, the first lady’s top adviser Anthony Bernal, and longtime aide Ashley Williams, who joined the deputy chief of staff’s office when Tomasini ascended to the role earlier this year.”
“This is the man who left the pulpit not to pursue deeper biblical truth, but to cozy up to a charismatic caravan of error, dragging confused followers behind him like spiritual roadkill.”
While Bongino stopped short of calling it a “hidden room,” he made clear the material had been deliberately withheld from oversight. “I wouldn’t call it hidden, but hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us.”
“Americans deserve to know which unelected staffers or radical unnamed activists implemented sweeping change through an autopen. The Biden energy agenda destroyed livelihoods of energy workers and fueled the record-high inflation that broke the budgets of millions of Americans. The question is simple, and deserves an immediate answer: what did Joe Biden know, and when did he know it?”
“If the Democratic Party has suffered a fall, the media has orchestrated its own slow suicide. Once the proud champions of the First Amendment, legacy outlets like NPR, CNN, and The New York Times now act as apologists, archivists, and airbrush artists.,,,They didn’t just miss the Biden story. They buried it.”
“Roughly 75% of America’s youth aged 17–24 do not qualify to serve in the military due to obesity, asthma, allergies, autoimmune diseases or behavioral disorders.”
“The tragic irony is that N.T. Wright has spent years fighting off caricatures of his theology from more conservative critics, insisting that he holds to the core doctrines of the faith. But when the moment comes to draw a line—to stand on truth, to call a man a man and sin a sin—he turns into a theological fog machine, obscuring everything with sentimental platitudes and academic evasion.”
“It is dangerous to put a new age occultist in a position like that of surgeon general. A growing number of Christian and conservative influencers, particularly among moms, cannot see what is staring them in the face—behind all the jargon and medical language is a foundational system premised in pagan occult practices that Scripture warns against.”
“Welcome to the United States of America, where the media isn’t free. It’s bought and paid for by the Democrat Party….Team Biden spent millions of dollars producing a fake town hall. That’s right, a completely staged event, rigged with all the bells and whistles – just to try and make Biden look like a competent leader. But here’s the kicker… they failed miserably because the footage was so unusable, they couldn’t even release it. That’s how mentally gone Joe Biden was….The fact that they couldn’t [release the fake townhall] because the president was so mentally out of it… is the real moment of shame here.”
“How many of the “protesters” who “occupy” college libraries know that Gaza, which was given autonomy all the way back in 2006, is provided food, clean water and electricity by Israel? How many know that the Israeli government forcibly removed thousands of Jews from Gaza because Palestinians can only live Judenfrei?”

“By defending individual liberty and questioning government overreach during the pandemic, PJ Media and our readers apparently earned ourselves a spot on Biden’s domestic terrorist watchlist. The irony? We were right about the mandates all along—their ineffectiveness, their unconstitutionality, and their use as tools of control rather than as public health measures.”
“Along the way, something in the organization’s emphasis shifted so that the early sense of collegiality dissipated and the ranks of speakers became steadily narrower. G3 spearheaded the Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel and, though I was present for the meetings in which it was discussed and began to be drafted, I opted not to sign it. As that statement became increasingly central to G3’s identity, it began to seem inevitable that my time there would come to an end.”
“Kennedy then issued a warning. “It just sounds to me like there were a lot of people coming to the Department of Energy who had all four feet and their snout in the trough. I hope you’ll take whatever time you need to go through these projects penny by penny.”
(The Dissenter) At The Dissenter, we are committed to proclaiming the truth of God’s Word while dragging into the light the wolves who twist it to serve the devil’s agenda. Over the years, we’ve exposed a long procession of frauds—charlatans, grifters, heretics, and smooth-talking deceivers—men and women like Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, Steven Furtick, Beth Moore, T.D. Jakes, and many that you may not have ever even heard of, each one helping pave the broad road to destruction with a smile and a Scripture ripped out of context.
“Yes, the propagandists in the media all over the world have blood on their hands after this.”
(Steven Richards – Just the News) Senate subcommittee’s interim report has disclosed that federal health officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received warnings as early as February 2021 about the potential for patients to develop myocarditis in the wake of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. It also concludes that they delayed issuing a public warning about the 
“The president previously questioned if Biden’s last-minute pardons in January are “void” because they were signed with an autopen. He doubled down on that argument over the weekend also, after audio from the former president’s interview with a special counsel was unveiled.” 
“Celebrity culture turns shepherds into performers and pulpits into stages. When influence is prioritized over intimacy with Christ, ministry becomes a brand instead of a calling.”
