“The influence of Buddhism and Hinduism on Contemplative Prayer is apparent. Words such as “detachment,” “transformation,” “emptiness,” “enlightenment,” and “awakening” swim in and out of the waters of these books. The use of such terms certainly mandates a closer inspection of what is being taught, even though Contemplative Prayer is presented as a Christian practice.”
(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwestern Christian Outreach) Nehemiah is one of my favorite Old Testament books, and while reading it this week, I came across a familiar favorite passage of mine. Though I am familiar with the passage, I was struck anew with its importance. Nehemiah had overseen the rebuilding of the Jerusalem wall after Israel’s return to her land after exile. In this passage they were installing the new gates to the city.
Nehemiah states in Nehemiah 7:1
“The gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed.” Continue reading

“Our days are numbered, and when God wants to take us home, he will. So if we believe these passages to be true, then we need to accept that it may have been time for Corey Comperatore (who was a strong and devout Christian) to go to be with his Lord, while it was not yet Trump’s time. This of course does not answer every question, and likely will raise even more questions. But all we can do is try to carefully assess the biblical data as we try to make sense of events like this.” 
“Zach Lambert is an example of a danger that faithful men today must confront and oppose. “Pastors” who want Christianity to affirm LGBTQ sins won’t put down the Bible and start a new religion, and of course neither will they obey it, so instead, they twist it….”
“Big Eva is afraid of Megan Basham’s book. She carries an institutional credibility that Evangelical Dark Web, [Christian Research Network] and several other allies do not possess, and it’s excellent to see the truth we strive to bring to light exposed in such spectacular fashion.”
(Wes Martin – Clear Truth Media) I cringe and my heart aches as I think about the title of this article. My honest opinion is that we, the church, are totally complicit with “Celebrity Christianity”. We’ve built it, and unfortunately we continue to prop it up. Our very nature as sinners seems to be committed to exalting a man or woman of God to an unhealthy level, making the whole thing reek of self-aggrandizement. We love to belong to something big and exciting, and to have impact. All the better if we can be personally connected to them. With pride we might say, “that’s my pastor, that’s my church, or I’m a part of this ministry”…. 
(Mary Dowling) The FDA approved a bird flu vaccine for emergency use in people. Nobody is sick or dying from bird flu, but they approved it anyway. Bird flu has been around for a long time, but the difference now is that scientists are increasing its lethality in labs using the gain of function.
(Stephen Green – PJ Media) It isn’t just “lights out” when a powerful electromagnetic pulse is set off, typically by the explosion of a nuclear warhead. An EMP doesn’t just disrupt electrical signals — it essentially hijacks them and can permanently fry any unshielded electronic device. Forget turning anything back on, whether it’s your computer, your furnace, or even your car. They’re all going to need to be repaired or replaced.
“Obviously, allowing a biological male to beat a female in the ring is not only dangerous but also a direct attack on the truth and the created order. As Christians, we must see this for what it is—an assault on God’s design and a normalization of lies that endangers women and society as a whole.”
“The FBI is now claiming that the Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks had an unspecified “social media account” in 2019/2020 (when he was 14/15 years old) that posted “anti-immigrant and anti-semitic” content.”
“Since Friday’s speech, pro-Kamala stars including [has been entertainers] Rob Reiner, Mia Farrow, and Barbra Streisand have spread the Trump 
“We have responsibility, Terri,” Pelosi is heard saying on the videotape to McCullough. “We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. .. I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.”
(Mary Dowling) While the US doesn’t have a president and an elderly man with no memory occupies the Oval Office, no one is running the country. This is how failed nations act.
“Christians of an earlier era knew how to deal with pagans who hated Jesus Christ. First, they bore witness to Christ’s conquest over death by becoming willing martyrs for the faith. Later, they defended the faith against Islam and pagan armies alike. They were willing to stand firm for Christ, whether it meant dying as a martyr or as a soldier on the battlefield.”
“It’s about control. By forcing people to affirm a lie, those in power can gauge the extent of their influence and the public’s willingness to comply. It’s a chilling test of societal obedience. If they can make you say that a man is a woman, they can make you say anything—they can make you deny Christ.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Joe Biden’s prompt endorsement of Kamala Harris as the next Democratic presidential nominee left many scratching their heads. However, sources tell the New York Post that Biden had a specific reason for doing so: revenge.
“…when The New York Times takes Kamala Harris at her word that her relationship with Willie Brown was not “improper,” they’re erasing the functional difference between lying and profound ignorance. And when she’s credulously quoted saying, “I do not owe him a thing,” it’s journalistic malpractice to believe her.”
“This wholly unbiblical idea is making the rounds on YouTube by pastors and others who are incorporating it into their sermons and passing the embellished story on to their churches. How long might it be until tiny swatches of allegedly “holy swaddling” will show up as talismans in “Christian Bookstores?” And where did this idea that has been dormant for nearly one hundred and fifty years recently reemerge from?”
“Olympics openly mocks Jesus’ Last Supper as drag queens dressed as women play the role of disciples while a plus size woman appears in the middle symbolising Jesus wearing a giant crown.”

“After nearly a decade of utter madness, can we finally order the FBI, DOJ, and CIA to butt out of our elections? Can a bankrupt media cease whipping up hysterias about a supposed Nazi-like takeover?”
(Mary Dowling) Dr. Ben Carson spoke with Tucker for nearly two hours about the state of affairs, describing the down-to-earth, kind Donald Trump he has known for ten years. They discussed the media turning an immensely unpopular leftist woman into a “godlike figure” and delved into the North Korean media landscape in the United States.
“Make no mistake, the mobs are empowered by every Democrat who equivocates over the Israel/Hamas war. Harris and her colleagues may as well be passing out the Palestinian flags at the protests.” 
(Jerry Newcombe – RenewAmerica) Bad ideas can often get accepted long after they were initially rejected. One generation recoils at a proposal. The next generation might cozy up to it. And the one after that might accept it.
Elon Musk says his son is “dead” thanks to the woke mind virus after he was put on puberty blockers, says he vowed to “destroy the woke mind virus after that.”
