“It is one thing for an ignorant Christian who is not in a position of teaching authority to hold these views. It is an entirely different one for a pastor to hold these views. Pastors are entrusted with the oracles of God. They are to unfold the text, model a life in submission to that text, and call others to do the same. Their job is to accurately handle the Word of truth. If a man can’t do that in the pulpit, he has no business occupying one.”
(Grayson Gilbert – Patheos) A number of years ago, I wrote a blog post asking Andy Stanley to step down from ministry. The reason for this was fairly straightforward, in that while he would not deny the virgin birth, he made statements suggesting that the Christian faith doesn’t hinge off of the account of the virgin birth. This is false. Continue reading
(Chris Queen – PJ Media) My family members have been major Disney fans for as long as we can remember. My parents honeymooned at Walt Disney World, and we go there at least once almost every year. I told somebody just yesterday that Disney keeps making it harder for families like ours to be Disney fans.
(Paul Dowling – Independent Sentinel) “This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill: the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill: you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember, all I’m offering is the truth, nothing more.”
“The corporate media couldn’t get on the phony Russian “disinformation” train fast enough. Night after night, NBC News and CNN pounded the story – so much so that legitimate reporting about the laptop got banned on Facebook and Twitter.”
There have been no consequences. Twitter and Facebook still censor information based on political bias, and Congress takes no action. Many of the letter signers continue to be used as “experts” by the media. Clapper, for instance, spent years on CNN calling Donald Trump a “Russian asset,” a lie invented and fed by political operatives of Hillary Clinton. He’s still there. Guess accuracy is not a condition of employment.
“There is an important corollary to the identification of wolves: that you don’t mistakenly label someone a wolf just because they disagree with you. I’m not warning you against people who worship differently, or have different beliefs about end times, or election, or creation, or who describe their experiences with God in more mystical terms, I am warning you against people who present you with information contrary to the Scripture that effects salvation.”
“The Times and other media outlets are pretending to be astonished at Thomas’s transformation from a male swimmer ranked 462 to the number one women’s division swimmer in the NCAA. It’s a question of wokeness winning over common sense.”
“They’re frightened of losing friends. They’re frightened of being kicked off their teams. They’re frightened of being told by their universities that they’re transphobic and hateful.”
(Protestia) Despite Ruslan KD taking a few shots at us in a recent video he did with Julie Roys outlining the John MacArthur saga, we have no ill will towards him, and in fact have featured him before. What we did want to focus on, however, are several claims made by both parties showing the careless way they handle facts and truth.
So… I just want to be clear: If teachers aren’t allowed to discuss same-sex attraction or male hormonal castration with children still too young to read… this constitutes a “threat to LGBTQIA+ safety”?
“Ten years ago, almost nobody would have publicly supported the teaching and promoting of LGBTQ ideologies to Kindergarteners.”
“Do bolshie-Americans not realize how dangerous this is? More importantly, do they care? The World Health Organization (WHO) actually has people who study the effects of poor waste disposal. This is what they have to say:”
“Putin and Xi are obviously dangerous to the world, just as Soros is a danger to America. His unlimited money is quietly used to advance the most radical politicians and causes; there is no question about that. Again, few truly understand how pernicious this man really is.”
“With Old Joe Biden in the White House, the Islamic State sees a perfect time to act in the United States. And with the Southern border essentially fictional and our law enforcement and intelligence apparatus devoted to hunting for equally fictional “white supremacists,” it’s easy to see why they think this way.”
(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) The Message is not a translation of the Bible. It is not a para-translation, as its publishers have so cleverly called it. Nor is it simply a paraphrase, because its earthly author, Eugene Peterson, has added, subtracted, and altered.
Nowhere does it say “don’t say ‘gay.’” In fact, the word “gay” doesn’t appear anywhere in the entire bill. The line simply ascertains something that we shouldn’t have to ascertain: don’t bombard kids aged four to seven years old with your sick, lefty “nothing matters but skin color and chosen gender” narrative that keeps blue-haired Antifa milksops up at night.
“It is no coincidence that the least religious parts of America are the most invested in this war, much as they’re the most invested in wokeness, in the COVID culture wars, and all the culture wars that have come before and that will come after to fill the void in their souls.”
“The question I get most often these days is, ‘Do you regret endorsing Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood?’ In order to avoid any confusion, I will respond directly without any nuance – Yes, I regret it.”
“Biden came up with the most lunatic idea in recent diplomatic history of begging autocratic and hostile regimes the world over to pump more oil to lower America’s gas prices.”
(Thomas Littleton – Thirty Pieces of Silver) In years past few have been willing to report on some shadowy businesses in the Christian financial industry as part of the so called “Generosity Movement”. Tim Keller, Lausanne Movement, National Christian Foundation Kingdom Advisors and a host of others have become key players in capturing Christian philanthropy on a global scale through “donor advised funds” and “planned giving” strategies.
(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) You have heard the Left’s talking points: despite the complete discrediting of their Russian collusion propaganda, they continue to insist, without a shred of supporting evidence, that Donald Trump was in Vladimir Putin’s hip pocket and that if Trump had still been president when Putin invaded Ukraine, Trump would have been applauding. Several polls, however, show that the majority of Americans aren’t buying this nonsense and are placing the blame for the invasion squarely on one man who is busy
(Reformation Charlotte) Evangelical elitists have been up-in-arms the last few days over a
“According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), suicide is the third leading cause of death among Americans aged 15 to 24, with the highest overall rate of suicide being in adults aged 40 to 59.”
