Why Your Church Should Safely Reopen Now

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , ,

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. Hebrews 10:23-25

The Christian Worldview – David Wheaton

Depending on where you live, it has now been nine weeks since government officials have ordered churches in America to cease worship services due to stated concerns about the spread of COVID-19. In many states, there is no timetable for when government will allow churches to reopen. Continue reading →

Francis Chan Explains How He Became a Bill-Johnson-Loving Charismatic

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , ,

“Can I just say something in response to that? Bill, you blow me away with your words and your heart behind them. You need to know that it’s that heart that changed me. It’s that type of character and kindness that can only come from the spirit, to love like that in the midst of slander.”

(Dustin Germain – PNP) Francis Chan brought some clarity to his journey from relatively sound Master’s seminary graduate and pastor, to itinerant charismatic faith healer when he took part in an online-conference “The Unveiling” on May 15. Sharing the scene Asher Intrator, Bill Johnson, David Demian, Diane Bickle, Mike Bickle, and Tabitha Lemaire, their purpose was to “come together to share their hearts on the Kingdom.” Continue reading →

Republicans Don’t Dare Call It Treason

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , ,

“This is all we need to know about whether top Republicans in the House and Senate, and an Attorney General nominated by Republican President Trump, are serious about getting to the bottom of Russia-gate.”

(Cliff Kincaid – News With Views)  As more evidence emerges of the role played by former President Barack Hussein Obama in directing Russia-gate, President Donald J. Trump’s “allies” are leaving the field of battle. They seem not to want to hold Barack Hussein Obama responsible for what President Trump calls the “biggest political crime in American history, by far!” Continue reading →

How You Can Help Roll Back The Coronavirus Police State

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , ,

“We did consent to the lockdowns and now are suffering under the insanity that has flowed from them—economic suicide and petty local laws that serve no purpose other than to nanny us into submission. So how do we muscle out of our bind? How do we return from the police state we have become to the land of liberty that we enjoyed a mere three months ago?”

(Molly McCann – The Federalist)  Last week, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy released a three-minute video in which he vigorously ranted against the ongoing lockdowns. Portnoy’s basic point was that the goalposts have shifted from “flatten the curve” to “find a cure.” He pointed out, in blunt and colorful language, that economic suicide in pursuit of the latter goal is insanity. His video went viral. Continue reading →

Police State Dry Run a Huge Success

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , ,

“There is a war being waged. The left is determined to take this nation down and the perfect time arrived to go in for the kill. Maximum suffering, pain, and destruction is on the menu and they’re serving it up every day as they plunge small towns, cities, counties, and states into protracted lockdowns and shifting goalposts.”

(Carol Brown – American Thinker) When the coronavirus landed on our shores, communist China came with it.

We have become part of a mass scale human experiment in government control and it turned out that stripping away our freedom wasn’t all that difficult. Under the guise of concern for our health and well-being, tyrants came out of the woodwork…. Continue reading →

Ravi Zacharias, Apologist, Dead at 74

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , ,

Sadly, while Zacharias had many good years of ministry, he spent much of his later years  deconstructing Christianity and joining the rank-and-file social justice branch of Christendom and the likes of The Gospel Coalition and other sub-biblical movements. 

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  On May 19, 2020, notable Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias lost his battle with cancer at the age of 74. Continue reading →

God of Isaiah vs. the ‘higher power’

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , ,

“In Alcoholics Anonymous, most Christians will experience a transference of faith. The twelve-step experience often becomes an idol. It is not uncommon to speak with Christians who are more concerned with “recovery” than sanctification and who demonstrate a preference for A.A. rather than fellowship with the saints.”

(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire)  “I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins. (Isaiah 43:25)  Continue reading →

Things Paul Never Wrote

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , ,

“Do not be anxious about anything, but take dominion over what troubles you by speaking into the situation.”

(Rick Becker – Famine In The Land)  We identify false teachings by comparing them to what is clearly taught in scripture.  Sound exegesis of a text will separate truth from error, and expose the twisting of scripture. The reason false teachers have to ignore the context and distort the truth, is because what they teach is NOT taught in scripture. If the teachings of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and other heretical movements were true, then we should have a different bible…. Continue reading →

Obamagate Is Not a Conspiracy Theory

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , ,

“What makes anyone believe these people wouldn’t create a pretext to spy on the opposition party? If anyone does, they shouldn’t, because on top of everything else, we know that Barack Obama was keenly interested in the Russian-collusion investigation’s progress.”

(David Harsanyi – National Review)  Those sharing #Obamagate hashtags on Twitter would do best to avoid the hysterics we saw from Russian-collusion believers, but they have no reason to ignore the mounting evidence that suggests the Obama administration engaged in serious corruption.

Coronavirus Isn’t Nearly as Deadly as We Thought. So Why Did the Lockdowns Happen in the First Place?

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , ,

“The World Health Organization (WHO) and Dr. Anthony Fauci justified the lockdowns by citing estimated death rates of 3.4 percent and 2 percent. Yet the less than 1 percent death rates have come after funeral home directors blew the whistle on the intentional inflation of coronavirus death counts.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  Recent studies have shown that the coronavirus has spread much faster than previously thought and that it is far less deadly than previously thought. Antibody tests show rapid spread, while many studies have placed the death toll at less than 1 percent…. Continue reading →

Newt Gingrich: Pelosi’s crazy $3T coronavirus spending bill may have secret purpose – Don’t underestimate her

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , ,

“After spending days trying to figure out why she would lead her party into such an exposed position, let me offer this three-part proposition.”

(Newt Gingrich – Fox News)  When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the $3 trillion coronavirus spending bill she and her allies had written – a bill passed by House Democrats Friday night with only a single Republican vote in support – my first reaction was that it would be dead on arrival in the Senate and that the move made no sense. Continue reading →

Antibody Testing: Proves We’ve Been Had!

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , ,

“The death rate in New York State isn’t 7.4%, it is actually .75%. The recently ended influenza season numbers from the CDC indicate  possibly 56,000,000 cases of flu, 740,000 hospitalizations, and 62,000 deaths. Under the current count from the Johns Hopkins Dashboard in this five month stretch CoVid19 has racked up 845,959 confirmed cases, 122,000 hospitalizations and 46,972 deaths.”

(Kevin McCullough – Townhall)  There is simply no other way to state this.

Nearly everything we’ve been told about models, rates of infection, deaths, and recoveries was inaccurate. Continue reading →

Major Blow to Liberalism, 41 Percent of Parents More Likely to Homeschool After Pandemic

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , ,

“The spread seemed to be pretty even among political lines as 45.7 percent of Democrats said they would be more likely and 42.3 percent of Republicans.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  Using public schools as the primary means of progressive indoctrination of the nation’s children has taken a major blow as a recent poll from Real Clear Politics indicates that 40.8 percent of parents are now more likely to homeschool their children after the coronavirus pandemic ends.

The dirty wars behind Obamagate

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , ,

“The media knew that the Obama administration helped to produce the humanitarian disasters in the Middle East. They ran a few stories about CIA arms shipments to terrorists in the region through countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, but did not highlight the criminal nature of the policy. And when Flynn got into a position of power and was able to do something about exposing these dirty wars, he became the target. They used Russia as the pretext to go after him.”

(Cliff Kincaid – Renew America)  “Obamagate” is the name being given to Barack Hussein Obama’s role in the Michael Flynn case, in which Flynn was framed for wrongdoing then cleared by Trump’s Attorney General William Barr. But why was Flynn targeted? Continue reading →

Marching orders for the Green New Deal

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , ,

“Clearly the international forces see the COVID-19 pandemic as the starter’s gun to launch the final effort to put the anti-free enterprise, anti-private property, anti-freedom Green New Deal agenda over the finish line.”

(Tom DeWeese – Renew America) A couple of weeks ago, I was one of the very first to sound the alarm that the Green New Deal forces were planning to use the Coronavirus pandemic to ram through their radical totalitarian agenda.

Over the past two weeks I’ve watched that scheme grow around the world at an alarming rate. Continue reading →

We Were Created to Work and Worship, Not Isolate

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , ,

“You can find alcohol, pornography, or marijuana, but can you find a prayer meeting? And what’s wrong with this picture? Abortion businesses have also stayed open – because in our “civilized” society, those in power determined it is essential to have access to murder your unwanted offspring. But the right to freely and peacefully assemble with those we love in the comfort of our churches is denied.”

(David Fiorazo)  It’s been well established that work and human interaction is vital to our overall health. But who saw this coming?… Continue reading →

Biblical infidelity in top evangelical institutions, leaders

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , ,

“The Gospel — whether found in the Old Testament or New — is the only power we have. Even if some leaders walk away from it, we dare not follow them. Standing for Truth requires standing on Truth.”

(Frank Wright)  When serving as president of the National Religious Broadcasters, my greatest concern for Christian broadcasters was not the emerging climate of censorship or even abusive hate-crimes laws. I worried about timid, self–censorship among Christian leaders. Continue reading →

The Politicized Order Inviting Amicus Briefs against the Flynn Case’s Dismissal

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , ,

“Lest we forget, the primary function of the federal judiciary is to protect the accused from overbearing government action, not to agitate for the prosecution of Americans. Even if he’s convinced Flynn is as guilty as the day is long, one might expect Judge Sullivan to be disturbed by the FBI’s perjury trap, by its editing of and misrepresentations about the “302 report” of Flynn’s interview.” 

(Andrew C. McCarthy – National Review)  Late Tuesday, federal district judge Emmet Sullivan issued a bizarre order, inviting third-party groups with no legal interests in the case to file amicus briefs addressing the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the false-statements charge against Michael Flynn, President Trump’s former national-security adviser. Continue reading →

The Peculiar World of Dr. Fauci

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , ,

“Absent a moral framework, the left operates on the medical modal. Dissenters are held to be afflicted with “homophobia,” “Islamophobia” and “xenophobia,” as Joe Biden charged Trump when he shut down travel from China on January 31. Two days before, Trump made Dr. Anthony Fauci part of his coronavirus task force. A federal bureaucrat for 36 years, Fauci came wrapped in the white coat of medical science but with no claim to infallibility.”

(Lloyd Billingsley – Frontpage Magazine)  “This will be one of the first opportunities for Dr. Fauci to tell the American people the unvarnished truth without the president lurking over his shoulder,” Sen. Charles Schumer said Monday…. Continue reading →

35 Key People Involved In The Russia Hoax Who Need To Be Investigated

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , ,

“So there’s a few people on the Democrats’ list who should be investigated, but not for the reasons Democrats say. Some should also be charged with crimes.”

(Willis L. Krumholz – The Federalist)  Funny how things change. The Washington Post couldn’t say a nice thing about congressional Republican efforts to investigate the Obama administration and FBI shenanigans that occurred before and after the 2016 election. That’s if they even covered these efforts at all. Continue reading →

‘How Can the Church Not Be Essential?’ Ask Calif. Pastors, Announce Intention to Resume In-Person Services May 31

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , ,

“Our church made 10,000 masks for doctors. We made gowns. We made all sorts of things when there was an enormous shortage. Our church came together to provide electronic devices for seniors who are isolated, who haven’t seen their family members in six weeks. … [The governor is] not concerned about that, but suddenly when we want to gather to pray or to worship, he [won’t allow it]. To me, that’s hypocritical,”

(Heather Clark – Christian News)  A coalition of churches in California have announced their intention to resume in-person services on May 31, regardless of whether the government expressly gives the green light or not, and with social distancing and other protective measures in place.

How can NBC not suspend Chuck Todd?

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , ,

“There is no one with a functioning brain that thinks the decision to end Barr’s statement mid-thought was done without any knowledge of what he went on to say. To insult people’s intelligence like that betrays NBC has no intention of taking this seriously.”

(Peter Heck – Disrn) The power of selective video editing is real and profound. Whether simple maneuvers like eliminating the inclusion of surrounding context, or more complex manipulations involving cutting, splicing, and merging, the ability of media to create a false narrative or misrepresent reality has never been so formidable.

Obama, Biden Oval Office Meeting On January 5 Was Key To Entire Anti-Trump Operation

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , ,

“An analysis of the timeline from early 2017 shows a clear pattern of behavior from the federal officials running the collusion operation against the Trump campaign. It also shows how essential media leaks were to their strategy to sideline key law enforcement and intelligence officials and cripple the ability of the incoming Trump administration to run the country.”

(Mollie Hemingway – The Federalist) Information released in the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case it brought against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn confirms the significance of a January 5, 2017, meeting at the Obama White House…. Continue reading →
