“Biblically and historically, a worship service is where God’s people respond corporately to what God has revealed about Himself. Yes, this response ought to be heartfelt, sincere, meaningful and unfeigned. In charismatic worship theology, one is not so much in pursuit of a response, as one is in pursuit of an experience: an experience of the presence of God that is intense, sensorily tangible, and emotionally or physically ecstatic.”
(David de Bruyn – Churches Without Chests) Christian worship has often had a remarkably similar shape across traditions. Bryan Chapell showed in his work Christ-Centered Worship that corporate worship (sans communion) in Roman, Lutheran, Reformed and Evangelical traditions had a very similar form: a Call to worship, a Kyrie or Confession, followed by Thanksgiving, an Old Testament reading, a New Testament reading, a prayer for Illumination, a Sermon, followed by a Benediction or dismissal, with hymns or psalms interspersed….

“It doesn’t matter what Jen Psaki, the minister of propaganda, or the corrupt corporate media puts forth. The truth is that only a heroic action in the future by the President could mitigate this colossal screwup. Place your bets now if you think old Joe will deliver heroism.”
“California has reported the highest number of the latest variant with 384. A total of 167 of those cases were found in Los Angeles County.”
“The next step is to go after the engineered addictiveness of tech platforms. It is a crime when opioid manufacturers aggressively push a deliberately addictive product. When casinos do it, we recognize it as a vice that needs regulation. We should take the same attitude toward apps and mobile games that are draining away the energy of millions.”
On Friday, someone who claimed to be an urgent care specialist tweeted that HHS had informed him that the government would now decide which facilities would receive doses of monoclonal antibodies.
“Will Fauci, Biden, Gates and Company get, in the end, what they were looking for all along, which was to get their serum into the arms of virtually every American and install freedom-crushing digital vaccine passports in every corner of America, making it impossible to buy or sell or work a job without accepting their mark of obedience?”
By moving ahead unilaterally, the White House usurped the CDC and FDA’s authority over these types of health-related calls…
After admission, I spoke to the nurse on the COVID ward. She was suited up in a plastic yellow disposable gown, teal gloves, and two masks underneath a recirculating personal respiratory system that buzzed so loudly she could barely hear. The nurse told me that she had gotten both vaccines but she was feeling worried: “Two thirds of my patients are fully vaccinated.” 
“Think of the irony. If Milley considered a politicized resignation to rebuke Trump over the false charge [that Trump had ordered rioters cleared from Lafayette Square for a staged picture], then surely he could consider a real resignation after overseeing the worst military disaster of the last half-century in Kabul.”
“Judicial Watch is also leading an inquiry into what it calls suspected “collusion” between The Gates Foundation and China regarding the sale of Chinese-made medications worldwide.”
“The use of gay special interest stories for purposes other than those of actual news: perhaps making up for lost time, or perhaps just rubbing things in the faces of those not yet up to speed with the changed mores of the age. Either way something strange and vaguely retributive is in the air.”
(Project Veritas) Project Veritas released shocking new video today of California AP Government teacher, Gabriel Gipe, boasting about politically indoctrinating his students at Inderkum High School.
“Unlike the Force in Star Wars, which one “masters” over time through meditation and other self-calming practices, the Spirit of Christ sovereignly confronts us. It is not we who make use of him; it is he who makes use of us. For, apart from God’s Spirit, we are utterly lost in a plethora of destructive patterns which lead, ultimately, to death.” 
“Even a private sector vaccine passport should be resisted by every possible means. It is the first step on a slippery slope to a social credit system, and the only time it can be stopped is at the very beginning.”
“The Bible says ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The most practical way right now you can love your neighbor as yourself, wear a mask. Okay? And to not wear one basically says, ‘I don’t care about you, or I don’t even care about your fears.”
“It will be extremely difficult to dislodge the teachers’ unions from their perch…Their political power is awesome, given the $30 million they pour into the war chests of Democratic state politicians. They also hold the fate of big-city mayors in the palms of their hands as they can easily blackmail even the most powerful mayor by threatening a walkout. Voters become enraged when their lives are turned upside down because they can’t send their kids to school so they can work.”
(John Hayward – Breitbart) Joe Biden’s first half-year in office concluded with a string of disasters and failures to deliver on his campaign rhetoric.
(Nick Arama – Red State) George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley is raising questions about the shooting of Ashli Babbitt and making some of the same 
“A large contingent of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) technicians has been dispatched to Afghanistan. They are operating with the Taliban and their presence is being concealed by that group.”
(Matthew Boyle – Breitbart) Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that his successor President Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan is the “single most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.”
