(The Dissenter) In a performance worthy of her self-anointed status as America’s spiritual guide, Oprah Winfrey took to the stage at the DNC to deliver what can only be described as a sermon on the sanctity of abortion. With the gravitas of a high priestess delivering her divine revelation, she proclaimed,
“If you do not have autonomy over this, over this, if you cannot control when and how you choose to bring your children into this world and how they are, [gestures to herself], there is no American dream.” Continue reading
(Clear Truth Media) Here are five key things Christians need to know about the Democratic Party this week.
“This man, who’s so comfortable blurring the lines between the world and the ekklesia, the called-out ones, is being lauded by Christianity Today as the perfect fit to “catalyze the important work” of their Big Tent Initiative.”
Budgets are irrelevant. Taxes are irrelevant. What matters is shoveling money to favored Democratic constituencies and billionaires so that the Democrats can, in the immortal words of FDR’s pal Harry Hopkins, “tax and tax and spend and spend…”
“I would never presume to tell you what you should preach. You have been called and anointed into leadership. How you choose to fulfill that anointing is entirely between you and God. But you are not called to silence. About anything.”
(Jack Davis – Western Journal) Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris has pulled out of a proposed Sept. 4 debate on Fox News, according to former President Donald Trump.
(Mary Dowling) Joe Biden raged at one point during his farewell address last night. He claimed democracy prevails, has delivered, and must be preserved after the Democrat Party bosses nominated a woman who never won a vote for the position.
“…the rationale used in the gay marriage debates of the 2010s is exactly the rationale deployed today in the transgender debate, which will in turn eventually be successfully deployed on behalf of plural marriage, polyamory, and pedophilia and things we have yet to imagine.”
“This is the story that Trump wanted to know more in better detail during his presidency and got impeached for it. It’s now in The New York Times; he’s vindicated again.”
“There is no sympathy here for adults who cannot absorb perspective and who relish propaganda like a fine wine. However, I am worried about the kids. Mouth-foaming liberal teachers are legion in this country and some parents live in panic mode round the clock. Tough on the urchins.”
The Docent Research Group is a “sermon-writing mill staffed by far-left activists, homosexuals, self-avowed feminists, never-Trumpers, full-blown Democrats, and Critical Race Theorists.”
“My goal here is not to discuss all of the political issues surrounding this presidential election. If you have not made up your mind on these issues, then you are probably sinking in spiritual quicksand. I simply want to remind the reader of two things—how critical this election is, and what part evangelicals must play in it. Elections have consequences.”
The American public didn’t have a picture of a local law enforcement SWAT team officer taking one shot — from the ground — at Thomas Crooks and his murderous weapon.”
(Victor Davis Hanson) The already-long 2024 presidential campaign has become the strangest in modern history.
“Vaccination plus behavioral change among gay and bisexual men. That is the group most affected in the United States in the 2022 outbreak. It has caused U.S. cases of MPox to fall from more than 30,000 in 2022 to 1,700 in 2023. The behavioral change is they cut out most orgies.”
“The future of the church, and our country, depends on us employing a different model and equipping the saints while also reaching the lost. There are practicalities that we can take from the megachurch movement, but the next era of church in this nation must correct the errors above.”
“Hinn has regularly preached that people reap what they sow. Now is his time for reaping.”
“Harris’s so-called commitment to justice, equality, and compassion. We’re expected to believe that her push for unrestricted abortion, her support for defunding the police, and her endorsement of gender confusion are somehow expressions of Christian love. Really? Since when did advocating for the slaughter of unborn children become an act of compassion?”
“The gospel plus anything is no gospel at all, but TGC would have you believe that if you’re not out there fighting for every cause that the culture deems worthy, you’re somehow not fulfilling the Great Commission. This is more than just a misunderstanding—it’s a perversion of the gospel itself, dressed up in language that’s meant to sound pious and loving but is, in reality, nothing more than spiritualized social engineering.”
“I point out a distinction between associations and alliances. Ruslan speaking at Preston Sprinkle’s conference is an association. It doesn’t make him a false teacher but it’s a glaring red flag. However, Immanuel Church has Gavin Ortlund, Sam Allberry, and Russell Moore in leadership. This isn’t mere association. Their wagons are hitched.”
(Daniel Greenfield – Front Page) With headlines like “Harris Surges Ahead: A New Era of Democratic Enthusiasm and Opportunity” and “Former Friend Exposes JD Vance’s Radical Transformation: A Study in Political Opportunism”, you might mistake NioThinker for another mainstream media outlet.
(Joe Boot – Clear Truth Media) The man who is content to sit ignorantly by his own fireside, wrapped up in his own private affairs, and has no public eye for what is going on in the Church and the world, is a miserable patriot, and a poor style of Christian. Next to our Bibles and our own hearts, our Lord would have us study our own times. – J. C. Ryle
“Greear’s entire sermon was constructed to soften the perception of homosexuality by lumping it together with other, less shocking sins. Sure, homosexuality is sin, Greear concedes, but so is greed, so is pride, so is lying—so why not stop making such a big deal out of it? Why not downplay its severity so we can win a few more brownie points with the secular culture?”
(Douglas Andrews – The Patriot Post) Elon Musk is one guy. Let’s remember that.
