Was Jan. 6 an ‘Armed Insurrection’?

(Byron York – Townhall)  It has become common in some circles to call the Jan. 6 Capitol riot an “armed insurrection.” That leads to a few questions: How many rioters were armed? And what weapons did they have? What were the arms in the “armed insurrection”?

The Justice Department maintains a website listing the defendants and the federal charges against them in the sprawling Capitol riot investigation…. Continue reading

The Left Got What It Wanted—So Now What?

There is no schadenfreude in seeing the Left destroy everything it touches—because its claws tear all of us as well.

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness)  No sooner had Donald Trump entered office than scores of House Democrats filed motions for impeachment, apparently for thought crimes that he might, some day, in theory, could possibly commit. Continue reading

Is voting Democrat an evil act in God’s eyes?

“Today’s Democratic Party completely rejects Biblical teaching on morality and human nature – that man’s fallen nature cannot handle great power. Rather, it embraces pagan ideas, including the state being supreme. As such they work to shift power (responsibility and control) away from the smaller governing spheres of individual, family, church, community, etc. to higher and higher governing levels, including unaccountable international bodies.”

(Mark Shepherd – Renew America)  Is voting Democrat an evil act in God’s eyes? That question rose from a recent Sunday-school lesson on 1 Kings 21, where King Ahab wanted Naboth’s vineyard, but Naboth would not sell. Then without the king’s participation, Queen Jezebel arranged a plot to kill Naboth…. Continue reading

The Rebellion Against ‘Woke’ Has Begun

“We don’t have to include our pronouns in our emails. I don’t care how much time someone spent coming up with gender-neutral words, we don’t have to use terms like “zhim.” I’m actually kind of embarrassed to be part of a species that thinks this is important.”

(Kevin Downey Jr. – PJ Media)  The left just hit a new level of “woke.” In California, of course. Continue reading

Did Jesus Come to Bring Peace or a Sword?

“If family members turn against God or have never turned to him, and we side with them to please them, we are siding against Jesus. The Lord gives grace, for there is nothing sweeter and more delightful than knowing Jesus. We are not to make our families an object of idolatry. Families are wonderful, but we are prepared to meet Jesus only if he is first in our hearts.”

(Thomas R. Schreiner – Equip) “I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law (Luke 12:49-53).”

The need for faithfulness and obedience as disciples (12:35–48) is followed by the purpose of Jesus’ mission. In saying that he has come to cast fire on the earth that he wishes were kindled now, Jesus certainly refers to judgment. In the OT fire often designates judgment. For instance, Jeremiah’s words are as fire that consumes the people (Jer. 5:14; 23:29; cf. Sir. 48:1). Continue reading

Beth Moore Says Abstaining From Gay Sex is a ‘Sacrifice’ For Gay Celibates

“Moore explains that homosexuals who choose not to practice their sin are actually “sacrificing” themselves for this cause.”

(Reformation Charlotte)  Beth Moore has said some of the most ludicrous things over the years, but until recently, nobody would have suspected that she had completely sold herself out to the LGBTQ agenda. The militant gay mafia would have everyone believe that homosexuality and other sexually deviant behaviors are normal and natural, and therefore, should be accepted and celebrated by everyone — including Christians. Continue reading

What is Queer Theory and How Are Churches Embracing It Either Intentionally or Inadvertently

(Reformation Charlotte)  Queer theory is a phrase that is used to describe the secular study heteronormativity in society. Essentially, it is the LGBTQ version of Critical Race Theory. Queer theory, in fact, stems from the same foundation as other forms of Critical Theory and has its roots in Marxist thought.

Queer theory seeks to understand–from a secular perspective–why heterosexuality has been deemed by society as the “normal” and “moral” standard by which human sexuality is judged…. Continue reading

Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Open Borders,’ ‘Globalism,’ ‘Tribalism’ Are Reminiscent of Rome’s Collapse

“Hanson credited former President Barack Obama with advancing ethnic and racial agitation by socially commodifying artificial grievances. The 44th president regularly advanced neo-Marxist narratives in which the ideology’s paradigm of class struggle was reframed as a hierarchy of oppression based on continually changing left-wing parameters related to ethnicity, race, and sexual preference.”

(Robert Kraychik – Breitbart)  Victor Davis Hanson, historian, professor, and author of The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America, said on Wednesday that “open borders,” “globalism,” and “tribalism” are contributing to a collapse of the United States reminiscent of the fall of Rome. Continue reading

Robert Morris’ Encounter With a Gender-less ‘Jezebel Spirit’

“Morris, like most charismatics, has latched on to this made up figure. The reason they do so, though, isn’t because they think it’s real. He knows it’s not. Charismatics preach about the “Jezebel Spirit” because it is an entity–other than themselves–that they can blame their sin on.” 

(Reformation Charlotte)  Robert Morris, the pastor of Gateway Church in Dallas, TX, is a woke, charismatic blowhard who is well-known for his false teachings on first fruits tithing and his propensity toward the prosperity gospel. Continue reading

EPIC: 427,000 Parents Respond to National School Board Association Labeling Them ‘Domestic Terrorists’

“It is appalling that [NSBA] would choose to threaten your fellow Americans for having the courage to hold you accountable for your failures. We will not be bullied….”

(Grendolyn Sims – PJ Media)  Last week, PJ Media covered the hysterical and threatening letter written by National School Boards Association (NSBA) president Viola Garcia. In the letter sent to none other than President Joe Biden, Garcia accused America’s concerned parents of threats, intimidation, and even “hate crimes” rising to the level of “domestic terrorism” for having the gall to speak up at their local school board meetings…. Continue reading

The Biden Justice Department’s lawless threat against American parents

(Andrew McCarthy – National Review) Even as President Biden shrugged his shoulders over progressives’ harassment and intimidation of a sitting United States senator of his own party — a crime under Arizona law — Biden’s Justice Department was running roughshod over the First Amendment, threatening to investigate and prosecute parents for protesting against school boards and teachers who insist on indoctrinating children with the cultural Marxism beloved by Democrats. Continue reading

Pandemic of the Vaccinated? Real-world Data Says It Is, and It May Get Worse

Stating that “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Biden argued that those “80 million Americans who have failed to get the shot,” while being a “25 percent minority,” cause “a lot of damage.” It turns out, the president is yet again wrong.

( – The New American)  While the Biden administration and “liberal” states, cities, and businesses across the nation impose unconstitutional  draconian rules forcing people to receive experimental gene therapeutics, aka COVID vaccines, or lose a job or face other negative consequences in a bid to “eliminate COVID,” the vaccines appear to actually do little to protect one from getting COVID, spreading it to others, or even landing in a hospital. Continue reading

Bethel Music – Deceptive, Demonic, Unfruitful Works of Darkness

(Reformation Charlotte)  If you’ve followed Reformation Charlotte at all, you know we’ve covered the contemporary Christian music movement and have written about several of its mainstream figures, including Kari Jobe and Hillsong. It’s no secret we believe that the relentless promotion of much of this flesh-feeding ecstatic music does no good for the edification of the body of Christ. But perhaps one of the most deceitfully nefarious organizations that are pumping out poisonous exhaust is Bethel Music. Continue reading

Frightening future of chimera research tests moral, ethical boundaries of science

“In 2003, Chinese scientists fused human cells with rabbit eggs to produce the first human-animal hybrid. Several years later, Mayo Clinic researchers created pigs with human blood running through their veins, and University of Nevada scientists created sheep whose livers and hearts were largely human.”

(Denise George – The Alabama Baptist)  Earlier this year, Congress failed to pass a U.S. ban on chimera research, a form of experimentation few Americans know about but one that could test the moral and ethical boundaries of science. Continue reading

Our Woke National Icons

Milley, Fauci, and Biden are soulless men who reveal the bankruptcy of our ruling class.

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness)  As we watch events unfold in 2021, obvious questions about the fitness of our national leaders present themselves. Who are these new woke national icons and how did they come to lord it over the rest of us? Here are some observations by way of preliminary explanation. Continue reading

Be Willing to Submit to Our Good God on the Issue of Homosexuality

(Amy K. Hall – Stand to Reason)  I received an email from a college student who was struggling to figure out “if a Christ-centered, monogamous homosexual relationship is just as godly as a heterosexual one.” He had many questions. Is the Old Testament law about homosexuality really a law we still need to follow? Didn’t Jesus fulfill the law? Isn’t the Old Covenant obsolete? He had prayed, read books and blogs, and talked to numerous people on all sides of the issue, but he couldn’t resolve the conflicting messages he was getting from them. He said, “I know that this topic requires faith, but I need proof somehow.” Continue reading

Democrats’ Criminal-Leniency Policies Sparked an Undeniable Crime Wave

“After trying to cover up last year’s shocking rise in violent crime, the liberal media is now trying to spin this year’s increase in crime. The New York Times headline announcing the worst increase in murder in American history read: “Murder Rose by Almost 30% in 2020. It’s Rising at a Slower Rate in 2021.” This transparent attempt to add a positive spin to a worsening situation insults the intelligence of the American people.” 

(Sen. Tom Cotton – Breitbart) The numbers are in, and the debate is over. Our nation is in the midst of one of the worst crime waves in American history. Continue reading

Salon says ‘it’s time to start firing unvaccinated people’ and I guess they must really dislike black Americans

“As for ethnicity, black and Hispanic Americans continue to lag behind whites and Asians in vaccinations.”

(Jesse James – Not the Bee) There’s only one problem with this article, Salon…[see Salon’s photo on the site] and it’s that the largest group of unvaxxed people in America by ethnicity are not white MAGA hillbillies with scraggly beards, but black Americans of all educational and socioeconomic backgrounds. Continue reading

Concerned Parents Are ‘Immediate Threat’ Says National School Boards Association President—Some Are Even Domestic Terrorists!

“Not only does Garcia, blame parents for “threats and intimidations” instead of her own failed leftist school boards, but she also raises the crazy bar to high by equating upset parents’ attempts to speak at school board meetings as “equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.” She even calls for numerous federal law enforcement agencies to target those parents.”

(Gwendolyn Sims – PJ Media)  It’s completely understandable that many parents around the country are fed up. They’re fed up with not only the onerous and arbitrary pandemic-related safety measures but also the racist and radical left-wing ideologies being forced upon kids in our taxpayer-funded schools. America’s parents are concerned and pushing back. Continue reading

A discussion of felt emotions in worship, one that is sure to annoy all fans of scrunchy-face worship

“Is the intensity of Pentecostal worship a rational response of the heart, or is it a sensation? Is it evoked by consideration of truth, or charmed by a combination of chord progressions? Is the goal to rightly value and admire God, or to feel my feelings?”

The Coordinated Attack on Ivermectin Is a Crime Against Humanity

(Louie Gohmert – American Greatness)  Just as we saw with hydroxychloroquine last summer, government alphabet agencies, the medical industrial complex, and their willing accomplices in the media have recently made it clear that there is yet another safe, effective treatment for COVID-19 they wish to torpedo. It’s the latest naughty word which will get you censored on social media and mocked and belittled by late-night “comedians”: ivermectin. Continue reading

Some rules to lighten the burden of woke Americans

(Bill O’Reilly, The Rules) Man, it’s not easy to be a woke progressive these days.  So many controversies, so little time to think up ways to justify a far-left lifestyle.  It’s crazy.  So, I am here to help.  Here are some rules to lighten the burden of woke Americans.

No criticism of minority communities. Don’t do it, ever.  The CDC says only about 30 percent of African-Americans have accepted Covid vaccinations.  A very low number…. Continue reading

Pastor John Hagee denies that Jesus is the only Messiah?

Before I get to Reformation Charlotte’s article, you should know that John Hagee is a false prophet, a fact that RC doesn’t mention. If blood moon rings a bell it is because the term has been popularized by Hagee and another false prophet, Mark Biltz. (Biltz holds to heretical Hebrew Roots beliefs.) In a piece I penned, Blood Moons: Prophets Who Persist in Prophesying Falsely I said this about Hagee:  “Prophet pastor John Hagee, who has more baggage than Samsonite, enticed a large number of Christians into believing the blood moons hype by reading his aptly titled book Blood Moons. In 2014 Hagee gave us fair warning: “God is trying to communicate with us in a supernatural way…I believe that in the next two years, we’re going to see something dramatic happen in the Middle East involving Israel that will change the course of history in the Middle East and impact the whole world.”  Continue reading

We Must Insist on Autonomy in the Practice of Medicine Before It’s Too Late

The Rome Declaration, posted on September 23, with 7,200 signatures from doctors and researchers [is] demanding a restoration of the doctor/patient relationship, an end to political intrusion into the practice of medicine, and a restoration of their rights to prescribe treatment under the principle of “First do no harm.”

(Stacey Lennox – PJ Media)  It is becoming increasingly evident that vaccinated and unvaccinated Americans who are infected with COVID-19 need early outpatient treatment for COVID-19…. Continue reading
