(Protestia) In a dark day for Southern Baptists, Pastor Ed Litton has won the SBC presidency, defeating Al Mohler, Mike Stone, and Randy Adams to take the helm of the floundering denomination.
In a stunning upset, the first round of ballots knocked off Mohler, who only received 26.32% of the vote, as well as Adams, who got 4.71%…. Continue reading
“Quite alarming is the emerging unholy alliance of various monopolies in Big Government, Big Business, and the media, wielding increased power and seeking to impose all-embracing cradle-to-grave control over American citizens. They seemingly lack any degree of interest in our welfare; our quality of life; or as they continue to demonstrate with their ongoing response to COVID-19, whether we live, suffer, or die.”
(K.S. Guardiola – American Thinker) Today’s Democratic Party, aligned with certain associated power elites, is actively fighting a second American Revolution dedicated to overturning our original one, with the objective of imposing a Marxism-style political order upon our country…. Continue reading
“Watching some of the news reports on various Pride marches with all of their infantile celebrations of sexuality, I could not help but recall the closing line of Algernon Swinburne’s “Hymn to Man”: “Glory to Man in the highest! For Man is the master of things!” And what glory has that mastery brought in its wake? The death of shame, Drag Queen Story Hour, and Presbyterian ministers who think involvement in commercialized gay carnivals is somehow courageous and edgy.”
(Carl Trueman – First Things) It is doubtful that there is anyone in the United States who is unaware that June is Pride month. Saturday morning saw the self-indulgent antics of Pride marchers, and if you are on the email list of almost any corporate entity, you will have had the triumphant celebration of the LGBTQ+ community trumpeted in your inbox…. Continue reading
(Protestia) The keynote speaker for the SBC’s Send Conference yesterday told the crowd that he would be ‘lynched’ if he ever became President of the Southern Baptists Convention, playing into tropes that the SBC is rife with racists and white supremacists for a laugh.
Evans is a disastrous choice to be giving a talk there and shows the drift of the denominational leaders who thought his presence was a good idea…. Continue reading
(Jordan Standridge – The Cripplegate) The perseverance of the saints is an astonishing miracle. And perhaps in this day and age, an underrated act of God.
Whether it is moral failures or theological drifts, it is all too common for men of God to die while bringing shame upon the Gospel.
But on the other hand it is so wonderful when we see men and women greatly used by God in their lives who model for us what it truly means to die well. Continue reading
“I could give you 50 important stories that the corporate media companies ignore simply because they are trying to protect liberal politicians and “woke” causes. The news blackout is corrupt and a threat to us all.”
(Bill O’Reilly) The threat is gaining strength. It is affecting every single American citizen. It is vicious, hateful and obscure. And the threat will diminish your freedom. Continue reading
“Beth Moore’s departure from the SBC, strategically announced just prior to the SBC annual meeting, in fact gives her more flexibility and latitude than ever. Sadly, her forty-year unbiblical influence leaves SBC messengers to clean up her mess in attempts to retake the ship and steer it from shoal infested rocky waters to deeper, calmer seas.”
(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) The 2021 Annual Meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention is occurring in a few days (June 15-16). Messengers from member churches from all over the United States have poured in to Nashville in order to attend…. Continue reading
“The state of the denomination is perilous and while many of its leaders, including Al Mohler, Danny Akin, and several professors who sit under their leadership, have been exposed in this documentary for not being as “conservative” as they claim to be.”
(Reformation Charlotte) Many in the Southern Baptist Convention have heralded Al Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and arguably the most influential voice in the denomination, as the voice of reason and conservatism in the midst of looming schism…. Continue reading
“This was not a peaceful environment at all and the media reaction that said you couldn’t do anything as people were besieging the White House — causing the president to be put in a bunker for his safety — or churches were being burned, or these park police were being injured, actually contributed so much to the entire summer of violence, because people were terrified of doing anything to restore order.”
(Robert Kraychik – Breitbart) Mollie Hemingway, senior editor at the Federalist and Fox News contributor, told Breitbart News on Friday that news media deception contributed to dozens of deaths and billions of dollars in property damage in violent riots across 2020. Continue reading
“Chicago’s positivity rate was never much higher than Texas or Florida. But those states reopened months ago. Why is Lightfoot congratulating herself for hanging on to her power for so long?”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) Anyone who knows anything about power and politicians knew 15 months ago (when restrictions on movement and personal freedoms were first announced) that it would be the devil trying to get states to give up that power. Continue reading
“The very reason that we keep striving for holiness is precisely because we know that God is working in us when we do so. If you knew that God would be at work in you when you are at work, wouldn’t that motivate you to work all the more?”
(Barry Cooper – Simply Put) In the beginning, before there was Broadband, there was Dial-Up. And it was very bad.
If, back in 1999, you wanted to watch the trailer for Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, and many people did, you couldn’t just hit play on your computer, watch it, and then get on with your life like it was no biggie…. Continue reading
“CRT curriculum is nothing but Hating Whitey 101. And Caucaphobia is now all the rage on college campuses. Consider the recent story about how a psychiatrist gave a lecture at Yale University titled “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind,” in which she described her fantasies of murdering white people….”
(Selwyn Duke – The New American) Forget “the customer is always right.” Now it’s “If the customer is white and I’m uptight, we’re gonna fight.” Some are essentially drawing this conclusion after video emerged of an Amazon driver saying something about “white privilege” and then attacking a customer who’d grown impatient over sub-par service…. Continue reading
“We thank God for our pastors and our teachers and our leaders that help us to rightly divide the word of truth but there ought to come a time in your life where you’ve decided, “You know what? I want fresh revelation with my name on it that has come straight from God’s Spirit for my life.”
(Protestia) From a recently unearthed 2019 clip, Lifeway darling Priscilla Shirer, daughter of Pastor Tony Evans, demonstrates with startling clarity why she is such an objectionably terrible preacher and bible teacher, framing scripture as just “hand-me-down-the-revelation” that is not sufficient. Continue reading
“The divide in the Southern Baptist Convention is growing. While there are many reasons to split, the biggest is the progressive shift away from the inerrancy of Scripture and the embrace of theological liberalism. The idea is that it is the mission and focus of the Church to right the wrongs of social and economic inequality….”
(Reformation Charlotte) One of the unofficial but defining principles in the Southern Baptist Convention has always been that the leadership doesn’t speak ill against other leaders in the denomination…. Continue reading
The report especially criticizes Biden’s support for the Equality Act, which according to the Catholic League, would be detrimental to religious freedom if enacted. “State laws that protect religious liberty would be gutted … taxpayer-funded abortions would become a reality,”
It is almost as if the hackers are saying to Americans, as they cause continental damage and disruption and endanger lives, “What do you care, since your government canceled your own pipelines and is demanding less meat consumption? So why get mad at us for speeding up the implementation of your own agendas?”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Think about it: For about five years, anything candidate, president-elect, and President Trump said or did, the media, the Left, and progressive popular culture opposed in Pavlovian fashion. Continue reading
“Instead of conducting studies to determine whether this was the case with COVID, the global health bureaucracy recommended draconian lockdowns and other mitigation methods.”
(Stacy Lennox – PJ Media) For those of us who have recovered from COVID-19, the failure of those making policy recommendations to acknowledge and account for the immunity developed naturally following a COVID-19 infection is beyond frustrating…. Continue reading
(Reformation Charlotte) John MacArthur has often compared charismatic worship to the Kundalini Spirit which is a form of demon possession associated with the practices of Hinduism. As one of the most outspoken critics against the charismatic movement, John MacArthur ascribes the movement to Satan and demons masquerading as angels of light deceiving people into believing that their movement is a movement of the Holy Spirit. Continue reading
“Why risk their lives every day if they’re going to be thrown under the bus by elected officials at all levels who are just jockeying for a little camera time?”
(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) It was just about a year ago at this time that many American cities descended into a madness that was frustrating, heartbreaking, and quite surreal.
The common thread among all these cities is that they have been in the thrall of Democrats for a very, very long time. When violence erupts like it did last summer, having a bunch of rabid ideologues in charge — no matter what side they’re on — is never the answer. The room is in need of some adults once chaos waltzes in. Continue reading
“The Nazis and Italian fascists had the guts to show their faces when they, like Antifa, rioted and used violence to achieve political ends.”
“I don’t know if I have the words to express to you my horror and disgust at seeing this clip.”
(Selwyn Duke – The New American) Have intellectual and moral integrity declined to a point in America where people will say anything, no matter how absurd, as long as it’s “woke”? A good indication the answer is “yes” is the June 6 edition of The 11th Hour with Brian Williams, on which the following words were heard:
“Who is Antifa? They stormed the beaches of Normandy, parachuted into the French countryside, and gave their lives to face down and fight back against fascism.” Continue reading
“This shift opens the door to conducting experiments on living fetuses once artificial wombs are perfected. After all, there is always some scientific or medical justification for such experiments that can be conjured by scientists wanting grant money.”
(Wesley Smith – Life News) It was all such a con. During the Great Embryonic Stem Cell Debate, “the scientists” promised to restrict embryo-destructive research to 14 days. They said that was because the neural system begins to form after 14 days. Continue reading
(Mark Tapscott) When Hitler wrote Mein Kampf (My Struggle) in 1925, he clearly described his intent to gain revenge, especially against France, for the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I and imposed a host of humiliating limitations on Germany’s ability to regain its military might.
There was also no question that Hitler would do anything required for his National Socialist Party to replace the tottering democratic Weimar Republic with a Nazi dictatorship. And he left no doubt about his tragically murderous intentions toward the Jews. Continue reading
“But there is another Latin expression you should know. It’s one that you have likely never heard before. But it is an important one: Si igitur hoc, quod. It means, if this, then that.”
(Ed Dingess – Reformation Charlotte) The bedrock philosophy of Evangelical quid pro quo is found in the many different varieties of Pelagian and Arminian theologies. The Latin expression quid pro quo literally means “what for what.” If you do x, I will do y. If you let me borrow your ladder today, I will let you borrow my pressure washer tomorrow. Continue reading
“One thing about Jew haters and Israel loathers, they are remarkably unoriginal. While their reasons for hating Jews may have changed over the centuries, the symptoms of their racism have remained the same.”
(Joan Swirsky – Renew America) In February, not two weeks into the, ahem, presidency of Joe Biden, I described in my article “Joe’s Jews” the appointments he made of 11 longtime Jew haters and Israel loathers to key positions in his cabinet/regime. Continue reading
“The only safe way to ensure that we are not binding everyone’s consciences on matters that Jesus doesn’t is to ask ourselves one simple question: Could every believer, in every place, across all time, people’s and cultures, both now and forever, do this thing?”
(Stephen Kneale – Building Jerusalem) You don’t have to be around Christians very long before you hear someone saying, ‘do you really think you should be doing that?’ or, perhaps less frowny, ‘shouldn’t you really ought to be doing this as a Christian?’…. Continue reading
