The Mormonization of American Christianity

“When we look at the claims of the apostles recorded throughout the New Testament, they appear to follow this same approach. Rather than appealing to their own feelings or internal experiences, they continually pointed to that which they heard with their ears, saw with their eyes, and touched with their hands (1Jn 1:1, 3).”

(Shane Rosenthal – The Humble Skeptic) In 1835, just a few years after the initial release of The Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith published a supplemental volume called Doctrine & Covenants in which he claimed to have received the following revelation from God: Continue reading

Stanford ‘Star Chamber’ restricted early COVID research to protect profit opportunity: professor

(Greg Piper – Just the News) Stanford University rewarded recently resigned President Marc Tessier-Lavigne with further research opportunities and tenure after belatedly finding that labs he had run for over two decades, including ones at Stanford, had an “unusual frequency of manipulation of research data.”

The elite Silicon Valley university allegedly took a drastically different approach, however, when medical professor Jay Bhattacharya threatened government narratives and Stanford’s bottom line by setting out to determine how far SARS-CoV-2 had spread locally in spring 2020. Continue reading

Something Is Seriously Wrong With Our Leaders

“Where does this stuff finally stop—and what will be left of our country when these people get everything they want?”

(Lee Duigon – News With Views) Have you a nose for nooze? Can you tell the chaff from the wheat?

We call our leaders “newsmakers” (not “noisemakers”—be polite) because most news stories are about them: they’re always on center stage.

Let’s see how well we understand them…. Continue reading

Before you get your teen jabbed, you need to see what the CDC just admitted to…

“That’s a very startling revelation, and the numbers are jaw dropping. We genuinely hope that parents grasp the gravity of this situation and take the time to gather more information.”

(Revolver) Most of the readers here probably wouldn’t consider having their children vaccinated. However, if you’re contemplating the idea or know someone who is, it’s important for you to know what the CDC has recently admitted to. This knowledge will help you or a loved one make an informed decision, because there are red flags flying everywhere. Continue reading

How the Contemporary Church Has Eroded and Perverted True Worship of the Living God

“…worship” typically refers solely to the musical or concert portion of the service, while the preaching is often viewed as a separate, even lesser, component. This is a serious error as the preaching of the Word of God is not a mere add-on. It is the foundation of worship.”

(The Dissenter) When we take a look at biblical history, we find a pattern of worship that couldn’t be more distant from what we see in most modern churches today. Ancient Israel, a people set apart by God, was given meticulous laws and guidelines on how to worship the Creator of heaven and earth. It was an awe-stricken approach, deeply rooted in reverence and governed by God’s holy Word…. Continue reading

Veggie Tales Creator Releases Series Ft. Woke Xtians Complaining About Being Judged

(Protestia) VeggieTales creator and Holy Post podcast host Phil Vischer has gotten beat up on social media over the last few days, and for good reason. The shots have been coming after he criticized a conservative TV network for not featuring LBGTQ characters in films, compared Christians who oppose legal same-sex marriage to ‘confederate theologians’, and refuses to publicly condemn same-sex marriage, all the while doing so in a smarmy voice that would make even Andy Stanley jealous. Continue reading

On Evangelical Instability And The Remedy

(R. Scott Clark – The Heidelblog) Sometimes people who come from the non-confessional evangelical world look at confessional churches as though they are hide-bound traditionalists. Doubtless, that is sometimes true. The words “we have never done it that way” have been heard from time to time in Reformed churches. In recent years, however, I have noticed a remarkably rapid shift in segments of the non-confessional church world. Two large Bible churches with which I am familiar have, in different ways, undergone impressive doctrinal shifts…. Continue reading

Forget the police, the left now has a plan to DEFUND the Supreme Court of the United States…

(Revolver) One thing we can say about the left is that they never stop cooking up evil plans to take down their enemies. And one of their biggest enemies right now is the Supreme Court of the United States and they’re doing everything in their power to stop the hight court who has delivered a few doozies to them lately, like the Roe v Wade ruling and the affirmative action ruling. Many believed that the left would push stacking the court, however that’s proving to be a dud. Americans don’t want to see that happen, so they’ve come up with a totally new way to cripple the court: DEFUND THEM. Continue reading

Christian-Cloaked Occultism

“These practices, seductive as they may be, drift away from the core biblical teachings and often have more in common with New Age or occult beliefs than they do with orthodox Christianity. It’s a growing concern that necessitates unwavering discernment.”

(The Dissenter) In Part XIII of our hard-hitting series on the Snares of the Modern Church, we unmask one of the most pernicious yet insidious traps that have ensnared unwitting believers—occultism. Yes, you read that right. We’re talking about occult practices that have slithered their way into modern Christianity, camouflaging themselves as “spiritual disciplines” or “deep prayer methods.” From Lectio Divina promoted by well-known figures like John Piper, to Contemplative Prayer endorsed by many leaders including the late Tim Keller, these practices have wormed their way into mainstream Christian thought. Continue reading

The Sting

“The scorpions who control most media companies are more driven than ever to impose progressive policies and get pliable people like Biden and Kamala elected.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Picture this: You serve four years as president of the United States. During your term, inflation stays under two percent. Real wages and consumer spending power rises about 9 percent for American workers; unemployment is less than 4 percent after the pandemic.

Fairly good showing, correct? Continue reading

Media Clown World: ‘Meet the Liars’

Watch the short video to see for yourself that the mainstream media talking heads are liars and clever manipulators. What they do is unconscionable.

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) For your early Tuesday morning enjoyment, we have Greg Kelly’s ‘Meet the Liars,’ if you want more, go to NewsmaxTV and the Greg Kelly show, which they update daily.

In the media clown world, reporters praise themselves for the wonderful job they do and the grand experience it all is as they collect their multi-million dollar salaries. Continue reading

Acts 29 Pastor Says Gay Atheist Came to Christ Through a Psychic Tarot Card Reader Consulting a Native American Spirit Guide

(The Dissenter) In a cultural landscape teeming with ideological disarray, even the dialogue surrounding Christian interaction with the LGBTQ movement has been pulled apart by polarizing narratives. A particularly concerning viewpoint comes to light through the Acts 29 Network, which we wrote about last week, as represented by Justin Anderson and Mike Sullivan. Their perspective, under the guise of compassion and inclusivity, distorts biblical truths to a dangerous extent that it could mislead even the elect, if that were possible. This compromising theological view is not just problematic—it could lead souls astray, particularly when dealing with issues of sin and repentance. Continue reading

Letter to the Editor From Two Women: What Are We Doing Wrong?

Dear Lighthouse Trails:

This note is actually from two people—my friend Elizabeth and myself (Ann).  Judy and I have known one another for 12 years—we met at a Bible study in my home. She still lives in ___________ and I’m now in ________, and we meet once a week for a Zoom prayer. Even though there is a large age disparity—Elizabeth is 44, and I am 81—we are like-minded sisters in Christ.

Our question is this: Over the last several years, we have contacted pastors whose churches we attended—or—pastors who came to our attention, who were involved in contemplative, New Age, spiritual Formation, etc…. Continue reading

What Game is Hunter Biden Playing?

“One of two things explain the continuous reckless behavior of wayward son Hunter Biden: One, he is either still on drugs or so suffers from past addiction that he has lost all common sense and judgment, and simply cannot control his behavior. Or, two…”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) What shameless act or felonious activity was not evidenced on Hunter Biden’s laptop? Racist attitudes toward Asians? Soliciting prostitution? Felonious use of drugs? Photographed nudity and perverse sex? Admissions to illicit foreign shakedowns? Continue reading

Pentagon Targets the Unborn Enemy

“The Pentagon should not be mobilized against the unborn. The Department of Defense exists to defend life, not destroy it. Biden DoD’s policy is not just unlawful, it’s immoral. Congress has been clear; the Hyde Amendment protects taxpayers from being forced to fund abortions. I will continue to ensure the unborn and your tax dollars are protected.”

(Cliff Kincaid – RenewAmerica) Rather than kill the enemy, the Pentagon is now in the business of killing the unborn. How much confidence should we have in these “leaders?” They are a disgrace to the uniform. They should defect to Russia and China. Only then would we be in better shape. Continue reading

Megyn Kelly Regrets Getting COVID Vaccine After Discovering Medical Issue at Her Physical

(Laura Wellington – Western Journal) Megyn Kelly says she regrets getting the COVID-19 vaccine, explaining on her show Wednesday that she would have been better off without it.

Kelly told her guest, writer David Zweig, that she was glad her children hadn’t been vaccinated amid the heavy pressure to do so during the pandemic.

“I thank God I didn’t stick them with that vaccine,” she said. “I’m sorry I did to myself. … I regret getting the vaccine.” Continue reading

Sing Louder!

We can give each other courage: we all need to feel we’re doing right. Parents should be outraged, scandalized, that state governments (California, for one), the teachers’ unions, and Democrat politicians mean to sue school districts for “outing” children—to their parents!—if a child, groomed accordingly, shows an interest in “gender reassignment.”

(Lee Duigon – News With Views) Years ago there used to be a Christian radio talk show, just 15 minutes, with a panel of three. I can’t remember the name of the show, nor the panelists’ names; but one single spoken line I have remembered very well indeed. I’ll never forget it. Continue reading

Acts 29 Promotes LGBTQ Inclusivity in the Church and Waters Down the Gravity of The Sin of Homosexuality

“Would these same men make the same concessions for other sins they find to be vile, such as “racism” or “white supremacy”—all sins that Acts 29 leader, Matt Chandler, has repeatedly asserted that he has zero tolerance for? Doubtful.” 

(The Dissenter) In an era marked by increasing ideological fragmentation, the discussion around how Christians should engage with LGBTQ individuals is not exempt from polarizing viewpoints. A recently uncovered video clip from the Acts 29 Network, represented by Justin Anderson and Mike Sullivan, illuminates a perspective that is often embraced in contemporary Christian circles but poses serious theological concerns for Bible-believing Christians. Continue reading

Orwellian Hate Speech Laws Are Coming to the United States

“Oh, it’s definitely something that’s coming to the United States. And in fact, that’s one of the things that we found in the Twitter files – discussion about how European style hate speech laws were definitely coming here.” 

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The EU is moving toward global rule over the Internet. They will determine what is said, what people can see, and what everyone can write. The EU passed an Orwellian Internet speech act that will drastically affect the 1st Amendment of the United States…. Continue reading

Here You Go—Lefties Hit With RICO Charges by Georgia AG

“It’s beyond satisfying to see the little proggies caterwauling about the RICO statute being used to go after people not named Donald Trump. The complete lack of awareness is classic leftist.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) One of the enduring lessons of history is that so many people fail to learn any lessons from history. This is especially true when it comes to leftists and socialism, communism, fascism, and any other heavy-handed “ism” they can come up with.

As the Democrats have lurched ever leftward, they have gleefully cheered on the oppression of the rights of any American who disagrees with them politically. This has reached disturbing proportions under the Biden administration, which has weaponized the entire Executive Branch and focused it on attacking pretty much anyone who has ever voted Republican. Continue reading

Silly Putty Bible Study

“The Holy Spirit did not mean one thing when Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus and then something entirely different when we read it 2,000 years later. There are no private messages in the Bible.”

(Greg Koukl) 21st-century kids have cell phones, YouTube, and Xboxes. When I was a kid, we had simpler delights. One was a handful of malleable goo that could be pulled, twisted, or distorted into any shape imaginable. It was called Silly Putty®.

Sadly, many Christians use their Bibles like Silly Putty®. Just add the Spirit, and the Bible becomes putty in their hands, able to be molded into almost anything at all…. Continue reading

While Vets Wait for Care, VA Spends Millions on Transgenderism

“Rather than fighting our enemies and healing our troops, the military health care system for both active duty personnel and veterans had been warped into serving woke sexual identity politics.”

(Daniel Greenfield – Frontline Magazine) The Veterans Affairs scandals that disgraced the Obama administration never went away. Instead the VA has stonewalled groups like Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) who have been seeking information about wait times for veterans. It’s not that the VA doesn’t have the money to treat vets, but that the money continues to be wasted on radical woke agendas. Continue reading

Dr. Fauci Knows Masks Don’t Work- Wear Them Anyway

“Fauci did a lot of damage pushing the masks, basically forcing mandates even though he claims they only recommend. They recommended knowing they’d become mandates.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Dr. Fauci’s back to telling people to wear masks based on his opinion. He claims the evidence at the population level isn’t strong, but doesn’t cite any evidence they work at all. He never does.

The masks caused a lot of harm, and he’s largely responsible for it.

Watch the video on the site. Continue reading

Jesus Calling Author, Sarah Young Now Knows Who Was Really Calling, and It Wasn’t Jesus

“The theological deviations in Jesus Calling are not minor nuances, but major aberrations that alter the core message of Christianity. The Gospel is a narrative of cosmic redemption, a narrative rooted in the unconditional sovereignty of God, the total depravity of man, and the unmerited grace extended through Jesus Christ. Young’s book instead pushes for a personalized, therapeutic form of spirituality that is man-centered rather than God-centered. This is not merely a different interpretation—it’s a grave theological error with severe consequences.”

(The Dissenter) Upon hearing of the passing of Sarah Young last week, I made a decision to wait a few days before commenting on the tragic reality. Not because I believed I had to, but rather so these words would not get lost in the news cycle. I also know how people are in these situations and many would refuse to heed the words of warning because of some ingrained, albeit erroneous belief that there must be a waiting period between the death of an apostate and speaking the truth. Last Thursday night, Sarah Young, author of the infamous Jesus Calling series, passed away of cancer at 77—Sarah Young was an apostate. Continue reading

Federal Court Drops Hammer on FDA for Pushing False Anti-Ivermectin Narrative on Social Media

“The FDA falsely claimed that ivermectin is a medicine for horses and told the American people not to use it for treating symptoms of the coronavirus.”

(David Linfield – Slay News) A U.S. federal court has ruled that Democrat President Joe Biden’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) overstepped its authority by promoting a false narrative on social media about the use of ivermectin against COVID-19.

U.S. Circuit Judge Don Willett, a President Donald Trump appointee, ruled against the FDA for telling Americans to “stop” using ivermectin to treat Covid. Continue reading
