Trust the Bible Above Your Experience
“This year, resolve to read the Bible more, but let me encourage you to resolve to do what the Bible says. Reading blogs and listening to sermons is wonderful, but every time you do it, seek to apply it. Actually, ask the Lord to change you because of what you just heard or read.”
(Jordan Standridge) We’ve all had incredible experiences.
Whether it is catching a big fish, or winning a big game, or, more seriously, witnessing the birth of your child or thinking back to your wedding day. Continue reading
James White, Rosaria Butterfield, And The Secret Changing Of Minds
“Here, I am obligated to speak some common sense into James’ life and help him with the discernment he is sorely lacking.”
(Pulpit & Pen) In my previous post on this subject, I entitled it A Brief Condescension to James White and explained that his defenses for Rosaria Butterfield are so embarrassingly bad the man is hardly worth responding to at all.
White claimed that Butterfield’s positive referencing of heretics was merely part of a “bibliography.” When I pointed out that Butterfield drew from these books her perspectives on Same-Sex Attraction in the body of the book and that list they were later mentioned in it was not a bibliography but a list of “recommended reading.”… Continue reading
Here’s Some Of The Most Explicit Material Teen Vogue Published In 2019
“Our culture is in a dire state due to sexual immorality,” Booyens warned. ” Introducing sexual acts and concepts with fluid language to desensitize our youth is without question grooming. Thereby the radical left such as Teen Vogue is playing into the hands of pedophiles, or doing so by design.”

(Mary Margaret Olohan – Daily Caller)
- Teen Vogue published many highly explicit stories aimed at a teenage audience in 2019.
- The publication posted stories about anal sex, sex magic, fat sex, and more.
- Teen Vogue is driven by a “clear agenda to sexualize and exploit the minds of its young teen and tween readers,” Enough is Enough President Donna Rice Hughes warns.
Teen Vogue churned out a variety of highly explicit sexual material for its teenage audience in 2019.
The publication has been described as a “glossy” magazine “aimed at teenage girls” that has recently stepped forward into the political spectrum to criticize President Donald Trump. But in 2019, Teen Vogue also offered teenagers a chance to discover “How To Have Queer Sex,” “How To Use Sex Magic To Manifest Your Best Self,” “How To Get An Abortion If You’re A Teen,” and more.

Truth Bomb: Former Democratic Politician Says Anti-Semitism in NY Comes From the Left
“According to an Anti-Defamation League survey conducted in Oct. 2013, only eight percent of whites were found to hold antisemitic views, while 36 percent of hispanics born outside the United States and 14 percent of hispanics born inside the United States harbored such beliefs. The ADL survey also found that a much higher percentage of African Americans, 22 percent, held antisemitic views when compared to whites.”
(Bronson Stocking – Townhall) Following a spate of antisemitic attacks in Democratic-led New York, Democratic politicians have been busy trying to shift the blame on Donald Trump. Continue reading
Did Henri Nouwen mean God is gay? Man is God? Or something else?
“Nouwen was no friend to Bible believers. He was not a trustworthy guide or teacher. He assigned meanings to Bible passages that were not there and applied salvation universally to most except those who opt out. In his scheme there was no stated need of personal repentance and faith in Christ for salvation…”
(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) “You know already that the young, attractive, affectionate, caring, intelligent, spiritual, and socially conscious gay man has only one name: God!” (Henri Nouwen, Love Henri, pg. 336, from his letter to a gay friend named Everet) Continue reading
What’s being missed with the ‘waking’ of Olive at Bethel Church, Redding
The phrase “declaring life and resurrection over … Olive” was lost on the media as well as many mainstream Christians. Yet Bethel’s call for declarations wasn’t lost on the insiders, i.e., those who hold to Bethel teachings. This can be seen in the nearly 3,000 comments posted on the church’s Facebook page, in response to the call. Notice the many Bethel followers who used the words “declare” or “declaring,” such as this comment posted by a Rick Davis: “Praying, and declaring resurrection Life for Olive … Little Olive, arise, in Jesus’s name!”
(Holly Pivec – Spirit of Error) The story out of Bethel Church in Reddng, California, this past week — following the sudden death of two-year-old Olive Heiligenthal — is tragic. The hearts of people across the nation have gone out to her parents in compassion — not just because they lost a child, but also because of the false hope they’ve clung to that their little girl would come back to life.

‘If I ever meet him I’ll probably sock him in the face’ said Jen Wilkin, Redefining Rahab
The reason Rahab has ‘come down to us in history’ as a prostitute is because God in His wisdom inspired the writer to write it that way. It is a fact. She was a prostitute. That was her profession. Lydia was a dyer of purple, Moses was a shepherd. Rahab was a prostitute. It’s a plain fact, but Wilkin spends a good deal of time in her lesson on this topic, as we will see.
(EIizabeth Prata – The End Time) I wrote a 3-part series on Mrs Wilkin, looking at her overall ministry here, here, here. It got long, so I promised to follow up with some specifics from her Rahab teaching lesson. This is that series. Continue reading
What ‘Christian’ author wrote ‘What I see here is God as Mother, receiving back into her womb the one whom she has made in her own image’?
[T]he author speaks of the “first and everlasting love of a God who is Father as well as Mother.”
(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) The author writes, “What I see here is God as Mother, receiving back into her womb the one whom she has made in her own image.” The author claims the return to “God’s womb” is the “deeper meaning” to the story of the prodigal son.
God as Mother? Nowhere in the Bible are we ever instructed to address God in this manner…. Continue reading
Relavant Magazine’s shameless defense of Buttigieg
The headline, fittingly sharing the front page with other no-doubt theologically rich fare as “Jamie Foxx on Why the Church Should Be More Loving, Inclusive, and Unifying,” and “God ‘Making All Things New’ Doesn’t Mean Christians Can Ignore the Environment,” screamed, “Yes, Jesus Was a Refugee. He Still Is.”
(Peter Heck – Disrn) There’s a famous Babylon Bee headline that satirically reads, “Man Bravely Abandons Unpopular Christian Belief to Affirm Extremely Popular Cultural Belief.” I can’t help but think the writer of that headline must have just finished reading the latest offering from the online Christian publication, “RELEVANT Magazine,” given their increasing propensity to publish stories heavy on culture, light on biblical truth. Continue reading
Do Trump’s personal flaws negate all the good he has done for conservatives?
“Regarding adultery, that sin is for spouses and God to judge. There is no connection between marital sexual fidelity and moral leadership. I wish there were. And as regards the “Access Hollywood” tape, every religious person, indeed every thinking person, should understand that there is no connection between what people say privately and their ability to be a moral leader.”
(Dennis Prager – OneNewsNow) The editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, Mark Galli, wrote an editorial calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. In my view, this editorial only serves to confirm one of the sadder realizations of my life: that religious conviction guarantees neither moral clarity nor common sense. Continue reading
Reasons Our Church Will Be Withdrawing From the Presbyterian Church in America
“The toleration of Side B Gay Christianity, to include the hosting of the Revoice conference at a PCA church, the continued organizing and participation in Revoice conferences by members of the PCA, the presence of PCA pastors who have very publicly declared themselves to be “gay but celibate,” and the presence of other Side B gay-Christian candidates at the PCA’s seminary.”
(Andrew Webb – Aquila Report) This year marked the 25th anniversary of my joining the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). While I was converted outside of the PCA, largely through radio ministries, it was in the PCA that I was introduced to Reformed theology, and it was in the PCA that I was mentored by very patient and very learned men….

Boundary Stones and Slippery Slopes: A discerning look at Jen Wilkin, part 1
“Is it time to look into the teachings of Mrs Jen Wilkin? It seems so. Subsequently I was asked to look into her biblical positions and her activities, in a discernment review.”
(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) Hosea 5:10 speaks of moving the property boundary stones.
The princes of Judah have become like those who move a boundary; On them I will pour out My wrath like water. (Hosea 5:10)
So does Deuteronomy.
In the inheritance which you will hold in the land that the Lord your God gives you to possess, you shall not move your neighbor’s boundary marker which men of old have set (Deuteronomy 19:14). Continue reading
Christmas…Christ In You
Celebrate Christmas, exalt our Savior, linger long over His word and in worship of Him. In doing so, we are “beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit”
(Jim Stitzinger – The Cripplegate) The concerts are over and candle-light services are nearly complete. No more caroling, food drives, corporate holiday parties and the sound of Salvation army bells are quickly fading. The world will soon say goodbye to “the holidays” and will soon pivot its attention to New Year’s and Super Bowls. Continue reading
J.K. Rowling becomes early casualty in unfolding LGBT civil war
“The backlash was instant, and it was severe, with Rowling being tagged a “trans-exclusionary radical feminist” (TERF) by a significant portion of the movement she has proudly championed. Please note the irony in such a designation. The transgender movement is seeking to functionally erase the identity of lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals by establishing the preposterous notion that there is no gender binary (i.e., male and female) but rather a fluid scale that every human traverses freely.”
(Peter Heck – Disrn) About two weeks ago, in a piece I wrote predicting the coming inner-LGBT acronym war between the LGB’s and the T’s, I wrote these words: Continue reading
At world’s first gender ‘detransition’ conference, women express regret over drugs, mutilation
[M]edical professionals are under “immense pressure” to give “distressed” children with gender dysphoria procedures to make them look like members of the opposite sex. Bell noted that many medical professionals are worried about being called “transphobic” or accused of a “hate crime.” Hutchison said medical professionals are accused of “transphobia” just for asking for more research to be done.
(Dorothy Cummings McLean – LifeSiteNews) ― A crowd of 200 people turned out for the world’s first gender detransition conference on Saturday afternoon. Continue reading
Soros-Funded Southern Baptist Leaders Now Calling For Donald Trump’s Impeachment, Conviction
“To this date, still, no evidence has been presented to prove any wrongdoing on the part of the president, yet, leftists Evangelicals are using this as a way to move forward with their progressive agendas. If you believe that this isn’t a concerted effort on the part of leftist evangelicals — namely, Russell Moore — to advance a politically left movement to increase the Democrat voter base in the Church, think again.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Last week, the Evangelical blogosphere made waves after the far-left George Soros-funded Evangelical publication, Christianity Today ran a hit piece calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment over moral issues. Continue reading
Bethel Church Hires Lindsay Lohan Crisis Manager Over Dead Baby Controversy
Olive Heiligenthal, daughter of Bethel worship leader, died suddenly – Photo credit: Instagram / @kalleyheili
“Last weekend, Bethel Worship leader, Jenn Johnson, sparked controversy for asking that God raise a dead female child back to life. Thousands upon thousands of Bethel followers began to decree and declare her resurrection through the power of positive confession. Bethel Church teaches the Kenotic Gospel, which views believers as little gods who do similar things to Jesus just as the Apostles. Kenosis means “to empty” and they hold that Jesus emptied himself of divinity and accomplished miracles by faith and not divinity…”
(Pulpit & Pen) What do you do when you’re a celebrity pastor with a crisis? You call Hunter Frederick to manage publicity for you. It’s what he does. Continue reading
Christianity Today reveals who and what they are—partisan hacks
“Christianity Today has joined the ERLC and a host of other infiltrated evangelical organizations spreading the Woke Social Justice agenda.”
(Capstone Report) Christianity Today is Woke. It has embraced Identity Politics. Now it wants to let you know that it is apostate.
Doubt it? For example from their newest offering Trump Should Be Removed From Office: “We want CT to be a place that welcomes Christians from across the political spectrum, and reminds everyone that politics is not the end and purpose of our being.” Continue reading
If Impeachment Articles Are Not Delivered, Did Impeachment Happen?
It’s hard to believe the Speaker’s latest stunt will go on for very long. In the Senate this morning, the Democrats’ minority leader, Senator Chuck Schumer, renewed his demands about trial procedures, discovery, and witness testimony. There was no discernible hint of doubt that the House would soon deliver its impeachment articles, such as they are.
(Andrew C. McCarthy – National Review) I’ll confess: Last night, when I was first told that Speaker Nancy Pelosi was toying with the idea of not delivering the two articles of impeachment voted by the House against President Trump, I assumed it was a joke. Continue reading
Southern Baptists, Calvary Chapel Supporting Ministry That Tells Women How to Have an Abortion
“In a page on the ministry’s website titled Choosing an Abortion Provider: 12 Considerations, Stanton instructs women on how to seek an abortion provider once they’ve made the decision to do so. Giving them a list of “considerations,” some of the advice they give includes…”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) As Christians, we are to look at abortion as murder — the unjust taking of innocent life — and a non-option not only for believers but society as a whole. It is not something that we look at as a last resort after we’ve sought exhaustively all other options…. Continue reading
McConnell Rips Apart Democrats’ ‘Partisan Crusade’ on the Floor of the Senate
By voting to impeach Trump on Wednesday, “Speaker Pelosi’s House just gave in to a temptation that every other House in our history has managed to resist,” moving to “impeach a president whom they do not even allege to have committed a crime” because they “disagree with a presidential act and question the motive behind it.”
(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned Democrats’ “partisan crusade” of impeachment, warning that Nancy Pelosi’s House of Representatives crossed a political “Rubicon” and “opened the Pandora’s box of subjective political impeachments,” a move that no previous House has done in American history….

Why did Francis Chan and Mike Bickle promote the contemplative Henri Nouwen?
“Today I personally believe that while Jesus came to open the door to God’s house, all human beings can walk through that door, whether they know about Jesus or not. Today I see it as my call to help every person claim his or her own way to God.” – Henri Nouwen (heretic)
(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) In The Way of the Heart, Henri Nouwen explains contemplative prayer:
The quiet repetition of a single word can help us descend with the mind into the heart. …a word or sentence repeated frequently can help us to concentrate, to move to the center, to create an inner stillness and thus listen to the voice of God. (pg.81) Continue reading
Toddler Death at Bethel Reveals the True Damage from NAR Theology
“Since I know few will say it, I must. You cannot expect miracles when your base is actively working against God. The bible says that we are either gathering people to Christ or scattering them away. Which do you think Kris Vallotton does? What about ecumenicalist Darlene Zschech? Rich Wilkerson? Really?”
(Anthony Wade – 828 Ministries) When practicing discernment regarding false theologies we often here the lament, “what’s the big deal?” Joel Osteen has encouraged millions of people, leave him alone. Joyce Meyer has helped countless women, don’t pick on her! In defending Bill Johnson and Bethel Church, Dr. Michael Brown once told me, “You do not know them, they love Jesus.”…. Continue reading
Lauren Daigle Preaches False Gospel to Max Security Prisoners, Says God Doesn’t ‘Point the Finger at Them’
“God “sitting with you” in the “middle of you being the worst of who you are” is not the gospel — it’s a false gospel.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Recently, Lauren Daigle visited a maximum-security prison in Louisiana and told a stadium filled with 6300 prisoners that God “sits with them” and “doesn’t point the finger” at them or “give them shame.”
Daigle — who says she doesn’t know if homosexuality is sinful or not — is known for touring the world and giving a watered-down message that is devoid of the biblical gospel…. Continue reading
