“The bottom line is that God is sovereign, and He often does protect his people. Ultimately, of course, he will always protect his people when we are with him in eternity. But even when he doesn’t spare us from present trials, it’s for his bigger purposes.”
(Holly Pivec – Spirit of Error) Why can’t believers ‘decree’ Psalm 91 as protection against coronavirus (as I stated in my latest blog post)? One of my readers asked this question. Here’s my answer. Continue reading
“Wimber at one time had been a pastor of a Calvary Chapel in Yorba Linda, California, but Calvary founder Chuck Smith had to disassociate with Wimber over disputes between allowing the Bible or experience to be the center of attention for the church. Wimber caused a split in the church when he left and took many people with him.”
(Jackie Alnor – The Christian Sentinel) Over thirty years ago I watched the late John Wimber in action at a conference attended by people from the mainline denominations including Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, and Baptists, along with Roman Catholics…. Continue reading
“The authors of the Great Barrington Declaration said they were driven by their “grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies.” Since its release, more than 13,000 infectious disease epidemiologists, public health scientists, medical practitioners, and more than 180,000 members of the general public, have signed the petition.”
(Helen Raleigh – The Federalist) Last month, the prestigious Scientific American magazine announced that for the first time in its 175-year history, it would endorse Joe Biden, the Democrat nominee, for the 2020 U.S. presidential election…. Continue reading
“So why are we now in month eight of this insanity? Why are places like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and even South Dakota NOT rolling in bodies now that they aren’t embracing universal, forced masking? The mask-cult never even attempts to answer those questions, of course.”
(Scott Morefield – Townhall) Unicoi County, Tennessee, is a dark-red county in a dark-red state. It’s a beautiful, mountainous place with low population density and an even lower probability of spotting a liberal…. Continue reading
“RZIM…engaged in questionable governance and financial practices for years, enriching Zacharias and his family, and giving them undue control over the ministry. But while Zacharias was being upheld as the gold standard, no one was willing to look at these practices or hold the board accountable.”
(Julie Roys – The Roys Report) Recent allegations concerning Ravi Zacharias have shocked the evangelical world and prompted two investigations—one by Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) and one by the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), the denomination that ordained Zacharias. Continue reading
“What makes this really interesting is that while the seminary has decided to pay reparations to blacks out of a “special debt to African American Christians,” as Mohler puts it, is that the same leadership decided against changing the names of buildings on the campus that were named after slave-owners despite the repeated requests of Marxist Southern Baptists like Dwight McKissic.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) The woke movement in the Evangelical Church has taken a nosedive directly into the muck and mire of leftist and progressive thought…. Continue reading
In the typical, theological liberal fashion Platt equates concern for the direction of the country with forsaking Christ, excoriating the idea of “blindly supporting or habitually siding with certain candidates or parties,” insisting that “we must reject this type of political absolutism because our trust resides in Jesus alone.”
(Toni Brown – Jude 1:4) David Platt’s latest book, released on September 19, 2020, is already a bestseller and clearly designed to guide the church’s vote in the upcoming presidential election…. Continue reading
“The statement argues for a “a biblically balanced agenda” that embraces what appears to be womb-to-the-tomb type social programs to help the poor and other favored identity groups. The statement engages in typical anti-Christian, Democratic Neo-Marxist rhetoric about unjust systems and helping other classes favored by Democrats including immigrants (illegal ones?), refugees and the poor.”
(Capstone Report) Evangelical Elites including Southern Baptists Daniel Akin and Karen Swallow Prior at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) and Russell Moore of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) released a new statement For the Health of the Nation that justifies Christians voting Democrat. It is another wicked attempt to legitimize the sinful casting of votes for baby murder candidates. Continue reading
“The Democrat Party is sin. Period. There is no way around it. It is true that the Republican Party is far from perfect, but the conservative platform is the only platform that a Christian can align themselves with. Triggs, however, says we can find “Kingdom Values” in both political parties.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Some of the stupidest, most asinine anti-Christian rhetoric comes out of the progressive wing of Christianity, also known as The Gospel Coalition. The Gospel Coalition is a loosely-affiliated network of progressive Evangelicals that serve to undermine both the political and theological conservatism of historic biblical Christianity…. Continue reading
“Clinton actually did what she accused Trump of doing: She colluded with Russians (through yet another foreigner she recruited to meddle in the 2016 presidential campaign: the ludicrous former British spy Christopher Steele) in order to damage Trump’s campaign and cinch the election for herself.”
(Andrew C. McCarthy) Did she or didn’t she?
Of course she did. In late July 2016, Hillary Clinton, in an effort to divert attention from the email scandal that was haunting her presidential bid, directed her campaign to peddle a political narrative that Russia’s suspected hacking and leaking of Democratic Party emails was in furtherance of a conspiracy between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump to swing the election to Trump. Continue reading
“Regarding this, Christianity Today editor, Timothy Dalrymple said, “Whatever policies or parties we support, we should all begin from shared commitments on why we engage in public life and how we do so in a manner that reflects the character of Christ.” … Christ would beat Democrats within an inch of their life with a horse whip (if not tie a millstone around their neck and dump them in deep water) for supporting the wholesale slaughter of the unborn.”
(Protestia) It’s no secret that Christianity Today – the publication started by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association – is working hard to get Joe Biden elected. They published an Op-Ed by then editor, Mark Gali, calling for Trump’s impeachment last year. Galli has since left evangelicalism altogether, joining the Catholic Church because they have “five minute” sermons. Continue reading
The Equality Act, of which Kamala Harris, Joe Biden’s choice for Vice-President, has been a leading supporter, was already passed by the House. This act elevates sexual orientation and gender identity to an anti-discrimination category in law, on the same level as race. What people feel about their sexual identity now has been granted the status of federal law. A Christian ethicist called this project “the most invasive threat to religious liberty ever proposed in America…. Its sweeping effects on religious liberty, free speech, and freedom of conscience will be both historic and also chilling.”
(Peter Jones – truthxchange) As we approach the 2020 presidential elections, Christians should think deeply about their vote. Clearly, no current political party has any right to lay claim to being the G.O.P, “God’s Own Party.” Traditionally, believers (myself included) have sought to avoid taking a public political stance in order both to respect the political choices of fellow believers as well as to avoid the dangers of focusing on secondary issues and being side-tracked from the primacy of gospel preaching. But as time goes on, and politics becomes increasingly religious, with deeper moral implications, the difference between primary and secondary issues becomes fuzzy. In my opinion, politics has become deeply spiritual. Continue reading
“Most want what Trump has wanted since April, is to open America up. Fully. There has been serious push-back in the scientific community on the Democrat position of cowering in place. Yes, that’s what it is. That’s what they want. Do you see people walking alone outside with a mask on? Or riding bikes masked? Or those who drive masked in their car by themselves? Yes, those are the ones who have succumbed to the Democrat/media hysteria.”
(David Prentice – American Thinker) Most of the nation was stunned by the news that Donald and Melania Trump had contracted COVID. I found out early morning the night after it was announced…. Continue reading
“If you believe God’s Word but when it comes to voting, you go against what the Bible teaches, you are in contradiction which causes internal stress. A person claims to be one thing but acts like the opposite.”
(David Fiorazo) Something doesn’t add up. With all that we know about how extreme and radical Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are, please help me understand the rationale behind those who claim to be Christian, conservative or pro-life and can vote for the Democrat Party anymore. Continue reading
“Many parents are repulsed by early childhood sexual education. But many have also largely relinquished their roles as parents, trusting the experts to indoctrinate their children. Parents today are themselves products of the sexual revolution and are likely to see fewer reasons to protect children than their forebears. As a result, resistance to this new brand of sex education will not be what it once was.”
(Scott Yenor – First Things) What if the sexual revolution is not even half over? Sexual revolutionaries have had many victories since the 1960s, but they have not yet fulfilled their greatest ambitions. Promoting childhood sexuality will bring them closer to their goal. Continue reading
“Beth Moore has a multitude of heresies on her laundry list and they continue to stack up.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) The Bible does not allow women to function in the role of pastor or preacher — and for good reason. Women are not permitted to be pastors or hold a role of authority over men in the Church. The bible is crystal clear on this issue. Continue reading
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) After President Trump’s first debate with Joe Biden, the liberal media came rushing to Biden’s defense, calling for him not to attend the following two presidential debates. It was undeniable proof that they lacked confidence in Biden’s ability to go toe to toe with President Trump, and a stunning admission of who they really believe won that debate.
On Wednesday evening, Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris faced off in their first and only vice presidential debate of the campaign, and once again, the liberal media told us who won the debate without actually admitting it…. Continue reading
“These actions reflect Francis’s Catholic upbringing within the communist “liberation theology” of the Latin American church.”
(Andrea Widburg – World Israel News) In an encyclical published on Sunday, Pope Francis announced that he’d had an epiphany thanks to the Wuhan virus: it’s time to ditch capitalism. But that’s not all. He believes, too, that in a time of a serious infectious disease, we should focus even harder on open borders. And he blithely upended almost two millennia of Church doctrine by doing away with St. Augustine’s “just war” theory. Continue reading
“No one should be surprised that violence arises when the institution that is called to be the spiritual guide of the nation becomes paralyzed. When the Church’s most holy practices are surrendered to the whims of Covidism, it is clear the Church no longer believes in its reasons for being the Church — hence the ease with which the Church is being overcome.”
(Fay Voshell – American Thinker) What should have been a purely scientific response aimed at control and cure of a disease quickly evolved into the political-religious cult of Covidism. Objective scientific analysis of and responses to what is the contagious pathogen COVID-19 were almost immediately suffocated by a plethora of arbitrary pseudo-religious rituals. Continue reading
“In late July 2016, U.S. intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis alleging that U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the Democratic National Committee….”
(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) Newly declassified documents show former CIA Director John Brennan took notes after briefing President Barack Obama on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s plans to frame then presidential candidate Donald Trump as a Russian asset. The briefing took place during the 2016 presidential election. Continue reading
“The Trump administration has also banned the teaching of Critical Race Theory in federal agencies and the military. Popularized by late leftist academic Derrick Bell, Critical Race Theory employs Marxist class theory, substituting race for economics. All whites are racists, America is irretrievably racist, and denial of being a racist or failing to confess “white privilege” is proof of racism. Sounds a lot like Princeton, or so we’re told.”
(Robert Knight – Townhall) From the president on down, we’re seeing a welcome pushback against Marxist indoctrination in our colleges, government agencies, and even the military. Continue reading
“According to [Devin] Nunes, the newly declassified documents from Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe show former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton set up the 2016 Russia investigation into the Trump campaign. Clinton created the Russia collusion hoax to shift public scrutiny away from her email scandal. Nunes said those documents are “smoking guns” that the American people deserve to see.”
(Beth Baumann – Townhall) House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) on Sunday suggested that American intelligence agencies should be shut down until they comply with handing over information collected on Donald Trump and his campaign back in 2016. Continue reading
I don’t think we understand the level of depravity in the younger generations. And yet even that is probably nowhere near what Sodom and Gomorrah had become, or what it was like before the flood when we are told of the world’s population (except for Noah and his family) that “the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5).
(Ken Ham – Answers In Genesis) “I thought I had seen it all, till I read these.” (AiG staff writer) “I feel sick; I can’t read anymore.” (Mally Ham) “I’ve never read such vile comments.” (AiG design team staff member) Continue reading
“Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar. That whole cabal believe that America is deeply flawed, deeply imperfect and irredeemably unjust — and that’s a keyword: Irredeemably. America cannot be fixed, in their perverted view.”
(WND) Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh says the Democrats in America right now are staging a revolution against the nation. Continue reading
“This is very similar to how the intifada terror campaigns against Israel worked in the past. The terrorists knew they could not win a full military confrontation against the well-trained and well-equipped Israeli military. Winning wasn’t even necessarily the goal. The goal was to undermine Israel’s legitimacy, its right to even exist.”
(Bryan Preston – PJ Media) Reason has a fascinating piece about a trans woman Trump supporter who went undercover within antifa in Portland during this summer’s simmering riots. Getting in was easy: just don black and wear a mask. Continue reading
