6 Crazy School District Responses To Parents Mad About LGBT Indoctrination Of Preschoolers

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

My Princess Boy video by Cheryl Kilodavis

In my article last week, I sampled the district’s “age-appropriate curriculum” for children ages 3 to 5. It included numerous LGBT picture books such as the well-known “Heather Has Two Mommies” and “They He She, Easy as ABC” about using trans pronouns.

(Joy Pullmann – The Federalist)  Last week I wrote about a suburban Chicago school district’s Oct. 7-11 week of LGBT curriculum as an example of what the state legislature has required all Illinois public schools to teach starting next July. Although the Evanston/Skokie school district is in a very liberal area, not all parents were comfortable with their preschoolers being taught, among other things, that polyamorous families are equivalent to families of sexually faithful married biological parents, and that being gay simply means “loving” someone of your own sex.

Lifestyles of the mega-rich pastors with estates and private jets: You’ll be shocked to see who is among them (OK it’s Beth Moore)

“She presents that veritably, she’s scrimping and saving, eating peanut butter sandwiches by firelight to save on electricity but sighing contentedly amid all this hayseed hardship. What Moore doesn’t tell you is that the Moore property in Tomball TX, these “modest woods,” as she puts it, that “would not be beautiful to everybody,” is part of a 46 acre enclave with its own road, two houses with total of 7 bedrooms and 7 1/2 baths, custom outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, a combined square footage of 6600 sf, and assessed by Harris County TX at $1.8 million dollars.” 

(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time)  I know that we’re all familiar with the ridiculous extravagance of some of the word of faith preachers. Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis, Creflo Dollar, Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen with their jets and mansions and vacation homes and gold commodes and the like…. Continue reading →

Some perspective on the current gender dustup

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , ,

“I believe Miller’s views on the differences between maleness and femaleness place far too little emphasis on ontology. I believe her view of Genesis 3:16 is wrong (certainly not heresy though). I believe the view that anything a man does is by definition masculine and anything a woman does is by definition feminine to be peculiar at best.”

(Todd Pruitt – Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals)  The Reformed-ish Twittershpere has been in high dudgeon since the release of Rachel Miller’s book Beyond Authority and Submission…. Continue reading →

The Spiritual Damage Caused By the Rebellion of Women Preachers in the Church

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

“More than 20 years have elapsed since a group of feminist scholars at Fuller Seminary realized that the truths concerning the economic Trinity (the specific roles of the members of the Trinity in our redemption) posed a threat to the assumptions of feminism. In a paper that rocked the seminary, these feminists proposed that any member of the Holy Trinity could have become the incarnate Son of God.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  Man’s natural wisdom is perpetually pitted against the wisdom of Almighty God. And, this opposition to God’s wisdom is most commonly disguised as pragmatism. In fact, numerous heresies frequently began as ‘pragmatic’ decisions…. Continue reading →

‘Your Past Is Terrible, And Your Future Is Terrible’: What the Left Tells Young Americans

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

“Hey, kids, America’s founders, known as heroes to every generation until the present one, were not heroes at all. They were rich white men who believed in patriarchy, the suppression of women and slavery. They were all racists, and some were rapists. In short, as an American, you have few, if any, heroes.”

(Dennis Prager – Townhall)  Here are some of the messages the left has been giving America’s young people:

— Your past is terrible, and your future is terrible. Continue reading →

The Real Reasons Why Legacy Media Are Freaking Out Over Trump’s Successful Baghdadi Mission

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

“It takes effort to try to spin the unalloyed good news of the Trump administration’s success as a net negative, but corporate media were up for the challenge. That’s because successes such as this one undercut the narratives they’re trying to force into the national conversation.”

(Mollie Hemingway – The Federalist)  Legacy media outlets responded to President Trump’s announcement of the U.S. military’s successful mission against ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi with their trademark hostility and anger. That’s because the inarguably good news threatens corporate media goals for shaping foreign policy, impeaching the president, and defeating Trump in 2020. Continue reading →

The Vengeance of the Lord

Christian aid worker Kayla Mueller was kept as Baghdadi’s personal slave.

“He reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down. He ignited his vest, killing himself and the three children. His body was mutilated by the blast. the tunnel had caved in on it, in addition. But test results gave certain, immediate and totally positive identification. It was him.”

The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. Psalm 58:10

(Steve Lumbley – Apostasy Watch) President Trump held a press conference Sunday morning to announce the death at the hands of US Special Forces one Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, wanted terrorist and head of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).  The president described his death in this manner: Continue reading →

Warfield: Paul’s ‘Prohibition of Speaking in the Church to Women is Precise, Absolute, and All-inclusive.’

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

Note: one hundred years ago this coming Wednesday, the famous Reformed theologian Benjamin B. Warfield published a response to a question he had received on the subject of women preachers. The questions he asks in summary are worth noting here at the beginning. These are the same questions that ought to be asked of Beth Moore’s defenders and John MacArthur’s critics:

“It all, in the end, comes back to the authority of the apostles, as founders of the church. We may like what Paul says, or we may not like it. We may be willing to do what he commands, or we may not be willing to do it. But there is no room for doubt of what he says. And he certainly would say to us what he said to the Corinthians: ‘What? Was it from you that the word of God went forth? Or came it to you alone?’ Is this Christianity ours — to do with as we like? Or is it God’s religion, receiving its laws from him through the apostles?“  Continue reading →

Durham Investigation Is Criminal: a Disaster for the MSM

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

“Even now, within minutes actually, The New York Times is desperately trying to spin the news as legally biased in some manner, insulting Durham with no knowledge. How pathetic. How reactionary and how conformist. They really are still the paper of Walter Duranty, even though some of their more jejune reporters may never have heard of him.”

(Roger L. Simon – PJ Media)  Winter may be coming but it’s already springtime for lawyers in Washington, D.C. The list of people lawyering up these days would probably fill this page and lap over onto the next. It’s just been announced that the John Durham investigation into the provenance of the Russia probe has turned into a criminal investigation. Continue reading →

Kanye’s Latest Interview Reveals More of His Faith And Calling

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , ,

“Kanye West is a confident, well-spoken, intelligent man. His zeal for being a “Christian Innovator” is noticeable. His testimony included some raw moments and it bristled with honesty. So far as one can tell, there is no hint that Kanye has been infected with the prosperity ‘gospel.’”

(Theodore Zachariades – Pulpit & Pen)  In an interview with Zane Lowe, megastar Kanye West at forty-two reveals more about various facets of his life but links it all to the service of God. This took place on Kanye’s property in Wyoming. Amidst comments on manufacturing, factories, farming, and what he calls his job, making music, Kanye insists that it is all about God’s will. His projected album was released today: Jesus is King! Continue reading →

Bethel’s NAR Apostle Blasts John MacArthur, Comes to Beth Moore’s Defense

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

“Bethel Redding is a hotbed of false apparitions, regularly blaspheming the Holy Spirit by attributing the works of men and demons to Him. One such notable occurrence which happens regularly is Bethel’s “glory clouds.” Glory clouds, they claim, are a manifestation of God during their worship, when, in fact, not only is it unbiblical, it has been thoroughly debunked.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  If nothing else I’ve written validates John MacArthur’s criticism of Beth Moore, this should. Bethel Church is the worst of the worst when it comes to charismatic cults and false prophets and apostles. Continue reading →

Southern Baptist Publication Proves Women Should Go Home

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

“These two ladies may have ministered much like Lydia did when Paul first preached in Europe (Acts 16:15, 40). But, at present, they are singled out because they are causing division.”

(Theodore Zachariades – Pulpit & Pen) Yesterday the Southern Baptist SBC Voices provided yet more confirmation for sending feminists home. In an article titled “An Admonition for Women Serving Christ”, published at SBC Voices, Etta Linton announced that she is not “going home” and urged her Baptist sisters to get out of the background….

GET YOUR POPCORN READY – Four Different Reports Released Last Night Indicate the Days Ahead Will be Devastating for the DEEP STATE!

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

“The biggest question left unanswered is why would the Democrats and their Deep State work so hard to prevent candidate Trump from becoming President and then try to end his Presidency prematurely? Why would they put in place a phony Russian sham Special Counsel and then morph into a fake Ukraine impeachment, both of which are bogus?”

(Joe Holt – The Gateway Pundit)  Last night it was as if the planets aligned against the Deep State.  On four different fronts it’s now clear that the crooks in the Obama Administration should be very worried. Continue reading →

The Media is a Threat to America

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

The media would rather have a monopoly in a broken country, than live in a thriving country where internet content is too diversified to support traditional media organizations. Like Milton’s Satan, it would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven. And it’s turning the country into its own private hell.

(Daniel Greenfield – Front Page Magazine)  It’s always bad news for the media.

Verizon is looking to dump the Huffington Post. It’s the latest bad news for the industry in a year that has already seen over 7,200 job cuts across the media spectrum from digital to old-fashioned print. Continue reading →

The Occult Roots of ‘Drag’ Identity

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , ,

“Long gone are the caricatures of drag queens as clownishly quaint entertainment for a sub-group of a sub-group of sexually-isolated fetish followers. Nowadays, they want, nay, they demand, that you openly declare your support for their desires, which is focused, like a laser-beam, on your children.”

(Linda Harvey – Mission: America)  Men who dress as women love Halloween, and not just for the costuming opportunities. They are often keenly attuned to the dark spirits of the season and willing to do their bizarre, depraved bidding. Continue reading →

Pro-Abortion Cursing Rapper Wins ‘Gospel Artist of the Year’ at Dove Awards

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

“The Dove Awards is generally packed with carnal entertainers, but to platform someone as foul as Franklin and label him “Gospel Artist of the Year” is to blaspheme the name of God and mutilate his glorious gospel.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  The Dove Awards is an annual Christian music awards ceremony put on by the Gospel Music Association and is broadcast on TBN. This year, as usual, a number of questionable caricatures received Dove Awards in their genre but Lauren Daigle, who spent most of the year questioning God’s word on homosexuality and says she doesn’t even see herself as a Christian artist, won Artist of the year.

Good News: Egalitarianism Has Been Totally Eradicated in American Evangelicalism

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

“Conservatives need to acknowledge that we lost the Resurgence and that we should have left the SBC three decades ago rather than fight for something that God doesn’t love.”

(Pulpit & Pen)  After a quick survey of American evangelicalism in 2019, it’s been suddenly discovered – much to everyone’s surprise – that there are no egalitarians any longer in existence. This may be hard for some to believe, given the radical shift toward acceptance of females in ministry, but egalitarianism apparently has been totally eradicated. Continue reading →

Beth Moore, John MacArthur, And Clobbering Girls In Football

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

“But what is worse are all the cowardly men around her who have flattered her and refused to actually love her in the truth. Pastor MacArthur said out loud in public what her husband and Christian brothers closest to her should have been saying for years, “Go home.” And yes, this is Christian love because love is treating others lawfully from the heart, and God’s law is clear at this point.”

(Toby Sumpter – Having Two Legs)  So amid all the other circus events, this last weekend, Christian Twitter erupted with shrieks of horror when Pastor John MacArthur told a conference audience that his thoughts on Beth Moore could be best summarized as “Go home.” Continue reading →

Let Me Explain That Laughter at Beth Moore Real Quick

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

“People laughed because they rejoiced at hearing truth. They also applauded and ‘amened.’ Joy is the natural reaction to truth-telling among truth-loving people.”

(Pulpit & Pen)  When Dr. MacArthur told Beth Moore to “Go home” and stop preaching over the weekend, the audience laughed. Some people were infuriated not by the comment itself, but by the laughter of the audience.

Here is one example of a well-meaning fellow who took exception with the laughter and found it confusing. Continue reading →

Disney sacrificing children’s innocence again

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , ,

“Cole contends that Disney is more concerned about pushing a liberal agenda rather than just focusing on providing family-friendly content.”

(Bull Bumpas – OneNewsNow)  A parents’ watchdog group finds it “completely unnecessary” that Disney has chosen to proudly inject the issue of homosexuality into an animated series for children.

As reported by Yahoo.com, a Disney spokesperson has confirmed that two characters in the animated series Star Wars Resistance – shop operators Orka and Flix (pictured) – are “gay.” That report quotes executive producer Justin Ridge saying: “I think it’s safe to say they’re an item. They’re absolutely a gay couple and we’re proud of that.” Continue reading →

Witch hunt: Occult Trump opponents plan Halloween spell to bind him

A week before Halloween, opponents of President Trump will gather in the thousands to cast a spell on the administration to prevent the administration from harming the country.

(Jeffrey Cimmino – Washington Times)  Participants in the ritual, which has been performed regularly since Trump’s inauguration, are taking particular encouragement from Democrats’ recent launch of an impeachment inquiry, which they see as a sign their efforts are working. Continue reading →

Charles Stanley Said ‘God Told Me Which Thanksgiving Turkey to Buy’

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

Stop telling people that God told you to do something or that God laid something on your heart that isn’t in Scripture — there simply is no way to validate or verify and you run the risk of blaspheming when you do.

Charles Stanley, the slightly more theologically conservative father of Andy Stanley, the rank heretic, told a television audience that God spoke directly to him telling him which turkey he needed to buy. Continue reading →

“Is there no end to these hucksters and their repeated money-grabbing? Gullible saints and deluded folks that are in the “Get Rich Quick” approach to religion are taking big risks. They are urged to write checks in the thousands and hundreds of thousands to get a return on their investment. But, unlike venture capitalists that have done their homework and know a good deal when they evaluate it, these greedy givers are the ones being taken.”

(Theodore Zachariades – Pulpit & Pen)  Jim Bakker recently enlisted Trump’s “spiritual adviser”, Paula White, to help him collect the money of gullible believers so he can build a greater venue for spreading his message. The tactic he used was ingenious. Continue reading →

William Barr’s right about left’s designs on religious freedom

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

“These people are not only anti-religion, but they also are anti-science, anti-history and anti-liberty. Alexander Hamilton would weep if he knew the power these people now hold in his beloved republic.”

[Charles Hurt – The Washington Times] As the Caribbean saying goes, “I chucked a rock in the pen and a pig squealed.”

This explains all the frenzied squealing and indignant grunting we heard in response to the speech Attorney General William Barr gave last week to law students at the University of Notre Dame about the increasing hostility toward religious liberty in America. Continue reading →

Why are so many believers looking for more?

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

“Sarah Young of Jesus Calling regularly hears whispers and voices from the other side, so much so she filled a book with His exact words, allegedly. Or two. Or three. If she is hearing from Jesus and writing His words down in quotes, she is writing scripture. Do you believe Jesus Calling is scripture?”

(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) Sufficiency of scripture is an important topic for me as a woman, because so many of the books aimed at women loading the shelves at Christian bookstores, and so many women’s ministries telling us we should be hearing from God or are touting some author’s experience from having heard from God.
