Pope Joins With Muslims and Buddhists For Ecumenical Prayer Service

The theme of No One Is Saved Alone is a squirrely one, however, with Francis repeating something similar in a tweet yesterday, saying “we are either all saved together or no one is saved.”

(Protestia)  On October 20, Pope Francis is joining up with members of other world religions to gather together for a time of prayer and to speak at an event entitled “No One Is Saved Alone – Peace and Fraternity.”

Vatican News reports that all the major world religions will gather to pray in their respective venues across the city in an ecumenical time of supplication: Continue reading

Read The Gospels: JC Is Not PC

“Ignoring the normal rules of taste, tact, and diplomacy, Jesus in effect declared that all his listeners were sinners in need of redemption. He pointed out sin and condemned it. He knew very well that this would not win him any accolades.” 

(John MacArthur – Daily Wire)  Most of Jesus’ teaching is completely out of sync with the mores that dominate our culture.

I’m talking, of course, about the Jesus we encounter in Scripture, not the always-gentle, never-stern, über-lenient coloring-book character who exists only in the popular imagination…. Continue reading

Do False Teachers Know they’re False?

“The question boils down to motivation. What motivates a false teacher? A wayward sincerity that can be corrected? Or a deeply warped, conscious pursuit of evil?”

(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time)  A reader asked this question the other day, “Do you think, they believe they are doing what God is calling them to do?” In other words, do they know they’re false or do they sincerely believe that they are in the right?

The answer is yes, no, and we can’t know. Let me explain. Continue reading

Censoring the Biden story: How social media becomes state media

“If thousands of emails and images were fabricated, then serious crimes were committed. But if the emails and images are genuine, then the Bidens appear to have lied for years as a raw influence-peddling scheme worth millions stretched from China to Ukraine to Russia. Moreover, these countries likely have had the compromising information all along while the Bidens — and the media — were denying reports of illicit activities.”

(Jonathan Turley – The Hill)  Chinese citizens watched President Xi Jinping deliver an important speech this week not far from Hong Kong. Well, not the whole speech: Xi apparently is ill so, every time he went into coughing spasms, China’s state media cut away so that he would be shown only in perfect health. Continue reading

Hillsong Music is a Gateway Drug to Apostasy, Your Church is Dealing it to You

“I find it extremely difficult to reconcile…the acceptance that contradictory beliefs can all be from the same God, as a work of the Holy Spirit. [Darlene Zschech] refers to it as “different characteristics, faces, tastes, and giftings.. yet a DNA running through our veins that draw us together.” 

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  Last year, we watched a string of high-profile apostasies take place, including Marty Sampson, one of the most prominent Hillsong music artists over the years. Sampson is not the only one, though…. Continue reading

Why can’t believers ‘decree’ Psalm 91 as protection against coronavirus?

“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

‘Doing the Stuff:’ An Encounter with John Wimber

“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

After The Great Barrington Declaration, No One Can Honestly Say ‘Science’ Demands Lockdowns

“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

If We Don’t Fight Back Against Corona Fascism, It Will Never End

“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

New Ravi Zacharias Allegations Highlight Secrecy, Cover-Up & Questionable Practices at RZIM

“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

Hillary Clinton — not Trump — colluded with Russians in effort to win 2016 election

“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

Greear and Keller Join New Movement to Support ‘Democrat Christians’

“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 Spirituality of Politics

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

The End of Covid Hysteria

“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

Wait, What?! Pro-Life ‘Conservatives’ Voting for Biden?

“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

Beth Moore Denies Original Sin, Says We are Born Seeking Things of God

“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

Here’s How We Know Pence Won the Debate

(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

Pope Francis goes full communist

“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

The Cult of Covidism Has Invaded the Church

“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
