Is It OK for Christians to Push Back Against Authoritarian Governments and Other Wickedness?

Notice that Peter says, “every human institution,” not “unbelievers at every level.” Unbelievers at every level do not have “authority” to punish evil doers or to rule over us. The United States government is a “human institution.” The Constitution is our national “Caesar.” Based on the Constitution, we can “petition the government for a redress of grievances” (First Amendment) in terms of religion, speech, press, and assembly.”

(Gary De Marr – The American Vision) The Left is always pushing back against government policies they do not like…. Continue reading

SBC Pastor Says Founders of Southern Baptist Seminary Were Not Saved, History Must be Eradicated

“He then calls on Mohler to remove all memorabilia of these men, such as James Pettigru Boyce, John Broadus, Basil Manly, and William Williams from the campus.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  Dwight McKissic, a racist, anti-gospel charismatic… black nationalist who masquerades as a shepherd of God’s people has done more to harm the body of Christ than possibly any other Southern Baptist pastor in history. McKissic, a Marxist and a socialist egalitarian, has regularly traded the gospel and the mission of the Church for social activism, called for slave reparations, and repeatedly maligned true defenders of the faith as “racists” and “white supremacists.” Continue reading

Welcome to Year One—All Prior History Is Cancelled

“Of course, most of these earthly devils don’t really care about the facts–they just want to destroy and enjoy. And so they must have enjoyed, too, wrecking statues of the Virgin Mary in Boston. …  Amidst this mayhem, it’s only a matter of time before innocent lives are lost. So we might as well get used to the fact that we have, in our midst, not just vandals, but terrorists. That is, terrorists who would destroy everything.”

(Virgil – Breitbart)  Ye Be Judged—And Ye Be Canceled

By now, it’s become obvious that every historical personage can be judged and found wanting–and thus must be, to apply the voguish phrase, “canceled.”  To the well informed, the fact that all people are flawed is not a revelation; after all, just about every intellectual and theological system in human history has been built around the premise that everyone has failings.

TGC And ERLC Can Stop Scamming Us. They Are ‘Revoicing’ LGBTQ Into The Church

“My friend #SamAllberry joins me to talk about the perennial question: “Is God Anti-Gay?” Many people think he is, that the Christian God has it out for gay people. But, as someone who experiences #samesexattraction and who also loves the Christian God with all his heart, Sam begs to differ. “

(Thomas Littleton – Thirty Pieces of Silver)  The Revoice LGBTQ Thriving in Historic Christian Tradition (i e conservative churches and denominations ) first came to light in Early May 2018 when The Gospel Coalitions popular gay priest Sam Allberry  and his Living Out twitter page tweeted about it while promoting his June 2018 London Conference with fellow TGC thinker and co-founder Tim Keller.

A Nightmare Campaign of Outright Idiocy

“With less than four months before the election, this is the campaign: a constant media carpet-bombing of defamatory lies about the president on behalf of a comatose candidate, propagation of unfounded hysteria over a fading pandemic, self-induced and redundant economic depression, open borders to admit and give free medical care to the unskilled peasantry of the world, and national self-abasement before militant African Americans demanding minority rule and the renunciation and degradation of those who founded the United States and led it to a pinnacle of influence in the world unequaled in all history.” 

(Conrad Black – American Greatness)  As we get into high summer, there must be a very large number of Americans now actively considering whether the country is going mad. Continue reading

Trump Was Right All Along: The Fake News Media Really Is The Enemy Of The People

“This is the same media that has spent the last six weeks stirring up strife over the death of George Floyd and lying about the resulting chaos. While rioters and looters desecrated major cities across the United States, many journalists downplayed the violence and tried to convince Americans most of the actors were simply peaceful protesters.”

(Kylee Zemple – The Federalist)  Firework smoke still lingered in the sky over Mount Rushmore as journalists began their daily routine of story-spinning, as if their very lives depended on headlines reflecting the exact opposite of true events…. Continue reading

Brat Privilege is the Real Problem

Race is not the driver, it’s adolescent rebellion.

“America’s current dilemma is not because of white privilege, or even black privilege. Our nation is being ruled by brat privilege, where adults who once had sense are yielding to the demands of the immature and the unwise, the reckless, the pathological.”  

(Linda Harvey – Mission: America)  We have a choice. We can turn away from the childish mob. We can prosecute the lawbreakers while ignoring their press agent bullies– the Colin Kaepernicks, AOCs, Stacey Abrams, and LeBron Jameses of America.

Christians especially must resist manipulation. Because it’s obvious that, to these radicals, only certain black lives “matter.”… Continue reading

Salvation by Extinction: Mindfulness Meditation

Dr. Willoughby Britton, who directs the Contemplative Studies Initiative at Brown University, has practiced Mindfulness Meditation for more than twenty years and is one of its leading academic proponents. She has also been surprisingly honest about its often-terrifying effects. An article titled The Dark Night of the Soul, recounts one man’s Mindfulness nightmare as told to Britton. He explained, “I started having thoughts like, ‘Let me take you over,’ combined with confusion and tons of terror.” This was accompanied by “… a vision of death with a scythe and a hood, and the thought ‘Kill yourself’ over and over again.”

(Pam Frost – truthxchange) Since the 1970s, Mindfulness Meditation has been promoted as a therapeutic technique to treat PTSD, stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and pain. Used by Fortune 500 companies, medical clinics, hospitals, the military, and prisons, it has become a billion dollar-a-year industry. Attributed with the power to transform anxiety, negative thinking and behavior into peace, compassion, and lovingkindness, many public schools are adopting Mindfulness-based educational programs to help children self-regulate their behavior and cope with the pressures of life.

REDEFINING REALITY

Though Mindfulness has been given therapeutic and scientific status for application across the broad spectrum of psychological and physiological health and wellness needs, it is actually a Buddhist meditative technique that changes one’s perception of reality. By focusing meditative attention intensely on one’s breath while concentrating on nothing but the present moment, one enters an altered state of nondual consciousness[1] that becomes the new interpretive grid for living. The goal is to train the mind to move through every aspect of life with the intentional focus and consciousness of Mindfulness while suspending all interpretation and judgment of experiences and events. Perception of the past and the future dissolves into the nondual nothingness of the present moment. View article →

Antifa in Tears: The Fragility of the Woke

“Black Lives Matter, antifa, and their large numbers of imitators and loosely-organized wannabes are mostly made up of middle-class youth, often either students or graduates. They deem themselves the brains of the rioting, the most woke of the demonstrators, the most sophisticated of the iconoclasts. In truth, they are also the most paranoid about being charged or being hurt.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – PJ Media)  A TikTok video that recently went viral on social media showed a recent Harvard graduate threatening to stab anyone who said, “all lives matter.” In her melodrama, she tried to sound intimidating with her histrionics. Continue reading

Bethel Church Casts out Demon of Racism with Wizard Staff and Incantations

This is how many in the charismatic NAR movement deal with racism. Rather than going through the scriptures and employing confession and repentance to combat the sin of racism, these purveyors of the dark arts are out there seeing visions of the spirit of racism and engaging in some Grade-A level of unbiblical shenanigans.

(PNP) Listeners of Bethel Church’s Transformation Now series were treated with a sight not usually seen when prophetess Marlene Barrett, in a bid to end racism within Bethel and the Ekklesia movement, whipped out a wizard staff- a sure sign that some tomfoolery was afoot…. Continue reading

Defund the Police? How About We Defund the Universities

“Happily, real courts overthrew many of the university injustices and rebuked universities for their practices. The imaginary systemic racism was “overcome” by providing special consideration and benefits for people of color, such as segregated dining, sleeping, socializing, and ceremonies, segregation being the new “human rights” of the ideological extremists. Unfortunately, no court or legislature has yet intervened to assess these practices.”

(Philip Carl Salzman – PJ Media)  Our universities have nurtured and foisted on America and Canada an extreme radicalism that vilifies American and Canadian history, society, and culture…. Continue reading

Megachurch pastor John Ortberg kept a family member’s attraction to children secret. Then his son blew the whistle.

“Lavery was also concerned that Johnny invoked the phrase “virtuous pedophile” to describe himself — a term used by an online support group of people attracted to children who never act on that attraction and who maintain that abuse is wrong. Some group members believe it is safe, even healing, for people with this attraction to work with children.”

(Bob Smietana – RNS) In the summer of 2018, a volunteer at Menlo Church came to the Rev. John Ortberg seeking help.

The congregation member, who volunteered with youth and children at the Bay area megachurch and in the community, had been experiencing “an unwanted thought pattern of attraction to minors” and needed the pastor’s support. Continue reading

How Extended COVID-19 Lockdowns Pose a Serious Threat to Mental Health

“These are very serious issues and there’s a literature … on what the effects of stay-at-home lockdown or quarantine, whatever you’d like to call it, what the effects are on people. What those effects are is that, in as little as nine days, people can develop mental health problems, anxiety, depression, anger.”

(Virginia Allen – Daily Signal) Americans’ mental and emotional health can’t be ignored in the fight against COVID-19.

Dr. Elinore McCance-Katz, assistant secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services for mental health and substance use, joins the show to explain the physiological effects of extended isolation.  Continue reading

The coming collapse of the Republic

“Political correctness, has metastasized into “cancel culture.” It’s why two people in two recent days — one a cop, the other an acquaintance — told me what’s plain: They, and everyone else, are afraid to speak their minds, fearing career and reputational destruction. It’s why social media censorship is intensifying by the month. An iron muzzle has descended upon America, and what can’t be spoken against can’t be effectively combated.”

(Selwyn Duke – Renew America)  “We’re just one election away from full-blown socialism,” a man recently said to me during a short conversation. This sentiment has become increasingly common lately, even, notably, among the previously apolitical. Yet something is overlooked: Continue reading

Epstein Madam Ghislaine Maxwell Arrested, Charged with Sex Trafficking of Children

“Epstein’s famous plane, the Lolita Express, shuttled the rich and famous to his island in the Pacific for clandestine activity with underage girls. Maxwell is believed to have been involved up to her eyeballs in it and will now finally face justice … if she survives that long.”

(Megan Fox – PJ Media)  Ghislaine Maxwell, longtime girlfriend and alleged “madam” for Jeffrey Epstein (who didn’t kill himself) has been arrested by the FBI at a luxurious estate in New Hampshire on charges of conspiracy, sex trafficking of minor children, and perjury. She is said to be under suicide watch and we all hope it goes better than that time her boyfriend was in a similar situation. Continue reading

The Biggest Story of 2020 Won’t Be COVID or Riots

Cotton painted a bleak picture of what awaits Hong Kongers who dare speak their minds. “Those convicted under the new law could face life imprisonment, alongside the many underground church leaders, Uighurs, Tibetans, Falun Gong members, and other persecuted individuals that the Chinese Communist Party has already ‘disappeared.’”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  On Thursday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) gave a powerful speech about the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal crackdown on Hong Kong…. Continue reading

We Want Our Country Back

“Mandates. Since when has America been governed by an endless string of mandates? We can’t even take it to the Supreme Court because Chief Justice Roberts will just vote against us like he always does. It’s been a long time since he met a Far Left project that he didn’t like.”

(Lee Duigon – News With Views)  Once upon a time American colonists, enraged by the high-handed tactics of Great Britain’s Parliament, threw a whole shipment of tea into Boston Harbor rather than pay a tax imposed on them without their having any say in it. Continue reading

We Do Not Consent

People who are apathetic toward their own liberty cannot eliminate Constitutional rights for those who are not. This is not the first (or last) time that people who believe in superstition are screaming the loudest. The Constitution exists precisely to protect all during times of mass hysteria.

(Dr. Simone Gold – The Gold Opinion)  It is clear to me as a physician-lawyer that the disinformation about both Covid-19 and the Constitution has caused us to turn a medical issue into a legal crisis. Continue reading

Under Sworn Testimony, Planned Parenthood Officials Admit Infanticide Occurs In Organ Harvesting

American Jews Must Stand up to Structurally Anti-Semitic BLM

“Two aspects of the Shavuot pogrom expose the increasingly problematic nature of the relationship between the American Jewish community and the American left. … The first is the media’s indifference to anti-Jewish violence. Aside from a few Jewish reporters and Orthodox websites, the Shavuot pogrom was largely ignored. And when it was reported, the deliberately anti-Semitic character of the attacks was either downplayed or ignored altogether.”

(Caroline Glick – Frontpage Mag) The silence of the Jews of America in the face of rising anti-Semitism is stunning. Continue reading
