(Matthew Boose – American Greatness) The basic contours of the Biden family’s corruption scandal have been known for years, but the details have been suppressed. What the public knows, it knows despite the efforts of the media, the Democrats, and the “intelligence community” to bend, twist, and bury the truth. For instance, it is no secret that Biden pressured Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating his son’s business partners. In fact, Biden bragged about it. But in the conventional narrative, Biden was doing this not out of personal interest, but as part of an institutional effort to root out corruption. This is the kind of obtuse, self-serving nonsense that passes for “journalism” today. Continue reading
The Dilemma of Morals
(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwest Christian Outreach) Where do morals come from? Are they objective or subjective? Are their origins from God or are they somehow a result of evolution, a byproduct of Social Darwinism? Our answers to these questions largely determine how we live with and treat other humans and often even define which humans have human rights that should be protected.
About a decade ago, we watched an interesting series by the Dutch public broadcasting system, VPRO. The question of the origin of morality was put to Darwinian paleontologist, the late Steven Jay Gould, in part 6 of their 7-part series, “A Glorious Accident”: Continue reading
Refuting Queer Theology in the Church: The Queering of Scripture and God
“These proponents of queer theology, in their quest for a gender-fluid understanding of God, are desperately twisting the Scripture, venturing into uncharted territories laden with speculative and unsubstantiated theories. They are attempting to chart a new gospel of perversion, detached from the entirety of God Himself, and then using the name of God to affirm their own rebellion against Him.”
(The Dissenter) In an era where absurdity appears to have become the new norm, an article at New Ways Ministry titled Queer Theory and Theology Can Help Widen Church’s Understandings of God and Creation epitomizes this trend with stunning arrogance. The claims made in this hit piece against orthodox, biblical Christianity are, to put it mildly, bewildering—even disorienting. Continue reading
Pope Francis Affirms ‘Transgenderism’
“The Bible teaches that each of us is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), created male and female (Genesis 1:27) in God’s own image. To defy this inherent identity, to mutilate one’s God-given body in pursuit of a personal “truth” that contradicts divine reality, is nothing short of rebellion against the Creator.”
(The Dissenter) In an unsurprising assault on biblical truth and Christian orthodoxy, the Roman Catholic Pope Francis has yet again aligned himself with the cultural zeitgeist, telling a young transvestite that “God loves us as we are.”… Continue reading
Redeemed Zoomer Goes Full Darwinist
UPDATE below.
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) One of the most prominent Christian YouTube channels right now is Redeemed Zoomer who stands at a whopping 125K subs on the platform. His most popular content is animated explainers on Christianity. However, he is also working on an ambitious plan to save apostate denominations. Redeemed Zoomer believes that protestants can reconquer these denominations by outlasting the heretics. Thus, the more beautiful church buildings in more prominent real estate will be restored to Bible teaching. On Conversations That Matter, Redeemed Zoomer made a compelling case for his Reconquista strategy, and he is active in this effort in the Presbyterian Church USA…. Continue reading
The heart of the shepherd and the essential church
The viewer will walk away from “The Essential Church” with the sense that each of these three men, in the words of the prophet Jeremiah, have “a burning fire shut up in their bones” that compels them to fulfill their ministries no matter the personal cost.
(Ben Zeisloft – The Sentinel) We far too often forget that only three years ago, government officials in the United States and other Western nations were closing churches, restricting the activities permitted during worship services, and threatening ministers with imprisonment. “The Essential Church,” a feature-length documentary made by Grace Productions and starring Grace Community Church Pastor John MacArthur, seeks to bring those harrowing memories back to the forefront of the nation’s mind. Continue reading
Bethel Church Teams Up With Roman Catholics to ‘Bring the Gospel’ to Every Person
“These same hyper-charismatic false apostles, like Johnson, already have a false gospel, and for them to team up with Roman Catholics to “evangelize” the world can only add more confusion to the mix. Who is the author of confusion? That should tell you where this movement is coming from.”
The snare of ecumenism among charismatic churches is increasing at an alarming rate. For several years, Hillsong Phoenix had been hosting the Alpha Conference, an ecumenical conference designed to tear down doctrinal divides between opposing apostate Christian sub-sects as they join hands to promote a social cause. This year, of course, is no different. Continue reading
TGC/LifeWay Lady-Preacher Says Christians Should Affirm Some Marxist Slogans to Truly Be Christian
“More video has surfaced of McLaughlin preaching at a National Association of Evangelicals conference telling people that Christians should look at a sign that contains various Marxist slogans, and instead of throwing them all out, go through them line-by-line and affirm the ones that the Bible affirms. So that’s what I am going to do now.”
(The Dissenter) A prominent LGBTQ activist that TGC relentlessly promotes is Rebecca McLaughlin. McLaughlin, herself, openly admits that she is romantically attracted to other women. During this presentation at The Gospel Coalition, she states, “I’ve been romantically attracted to women since childhood, and if I were not a Christian I’d likely be married to a woman, not a man.” Continue reading
Veterans react as Biden allows transgender soldiers to skip deployments
(Amy Jo Underwood – The Sentinel) A Defense Department memo from earlier this year covering the “care of service members who identify as transgender” has been leaked to the public, showing a vast array of medical services and special privileges for self-described transgender individuals in the military.
Included in the memo are instructions for taxpayer-funded procedures regarding speech and voice therapy, voice feminization surgery, cross-sex hormones, laser hair removal, facial and body contouring, breast and chest surgery, genital surgery, and psychological counseling. Continue reading
There Are No More Apostles
(Rick Becker – Famine in the Land) The proliferation of contemporary “apostles and prophets” is the result of a narrative that’s been pushed for decades – the restoration of the offices of apostle and prophet to the church. If this were true, then God has failed his church by depriving it of two essential forms of ministry. Furthermore, if God has restored the office of apostle, then contemporary apostles who claim to hold the office should meet the biblical qualifications, if they don’t, they’re self-appointed false apostles.
Thayer’s Greek Lexicon gives the following definition of the word apostle in scripture (ἀπόστολος): “a delegate, messenger, one sent forth with orders. Specially applied to the twelve disciples whom Christ selected…In a broader sense the name is transferred to other eminent Christian teachers; as Barnabas.”… Continue reading
The Forbidden Woman: Some Thoughts on Love, Marriage, and Adultery
“God provided for all sexual enjoyment to be fulfilled in marriage as we love our spouses in this good design that he ordained. Our love is not meant for strangers, in the mind, or at the local motel. And this applies to every form of sexual sin that is contrary to God’s will. By God’s grace, the desires of our hearts must be sanctified to love the spouse God has given to us.”
(Chris Gordon – Beautiful Christian Life) Adultery will destroy your life. And, it will destroy a lot of other people’s lives too. This is the testimony of countless people who have testified to its destructive power and how it utterly ruined them. As the statistics go, around 25 percent of men and 15 percent of women will commit adultery in the course of their marriage…. Continue reading
Should Christians Support Turning Point USA?
“I could post a list of churches that are hosting Charlie Kirk and TPUSA, but it would be pointless as the list is huge. If you want, you could check out this Google search and see for yourself. The bottom line, churches are compromising the gospel in favor of self-serving politics.”
(The Dissenter) I’ve never been a fan of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) or its movement. I really just don’t care much for the personalities involved in it, particularly, Charlie Kirk. But there are a lot of churches—so-called conservative churches—that are embracing, promoting, and platforming them. Continue reading
FBI Allegedly Informed Twitter The Hunter Biden Laptop Was Real On Key Date
“Jordan claimed Dehmlow’s testimony further showed that it was an analyst in the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division embedded in FITF who had begun to explain that the laptop was real before being cut off.”
(Daniel Chaitin – Daily Wire) A senior FBI official allegedly informed Twitter that the abandoned laptop believed to have belonged to Hunter Biden was real on the same day the New York Post broke news about the device’s contents in a story that Twitter went on to censor, according to newly-released testimony. Continue reading
Despite What Popular Evangelical Pastors Are Saying, Doubt is an Enemy of the Faith
“The weight of James 1:6-8 clearly counters the idea that doubt can harmoniously coexist with faith. The picture James paints is clear: true faith is unwavering, complete, not diluted with doubt. Doubt is not the fertile ground from which faith blossoms, but the rocky terrain that hinders its growth….”
(The Dissenter) The winds of modern thought have blown into the halls of the Church, stirring up a novel perspective that now echoes loudly from the pulpit to the pews. The perception that doubt is a beneficial, even necessary, component of faith has started to hold sway. This novel viewpoint is articulated by the words of Rich Villodas who posts on Twitter: Continue reading
Tucker Throws Haymakers at the Regime at Turning Point Conference
“Any country that doesn’t allow a free discussion of the process by which its leaders are elected is not a democracy by definition. A country without free speech is not a democracy. You can’t have a dinner party without dinner. You can’t have a democracy without free speech, period.”
(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) Tucker Carlson, in a speech at the annual Turning Point Action conference that was held last weekend, continued his scorched-earth policy on D.C vermin and cluster-bombed the American politburo. Continue reading
Democrat Plan to Imprison Mr. Trump or Drive Him to His Grave
“Trump’s polls show he can win, but Democrats will never let him win. Democrats working Joe Biden’s strings are behind the curtain deciding how best to get rid of Donald Trump. These people are demons.”
While evidence pours in against the Biden crime family, the DOJ is targeting Donald Trump with new charges of obstructing Congress, conspiracy, obstruction or tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant, and civil rights violations. Continue reading
Twilight in the Politics Zone
(Bill O’Reilly) Beginning in 1959, a TV program called “The Twilight Zone” captured the imagination of millions of Americans. The show opened with co-creator Rod Serling saying this:
“You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind… Next stop, the Twilight Zone!”
Then, after a few commercials, bizarre things took place. The program became legendary. Continue reading
The presence and influence of powers, principalities, and demons in our age of apostasy
“Following on the heels of mind-altering substances flooding our schools and churches are yoga, mindfulness meditation, and channeling. Children are being taught to “go within” and contact their spirit guides. Spiritual formation classes are taught in…mega-churches where earthly bread, yoga and musical ecstasy draped by a limp cross are usual offerings.”
(Linda Kimball – RenewAmerica) In “The Spiritist Fallacy,” a penetrating analysis of Luciferian Theosophy, Spiritism, and by extension, the New Age Spirituality overtaking and replacing Christianity throughout Western civilization, the respected French traditionalist metaphysician Rene Guenon explained how the theories of William James (1842-1910), the father of American psychology, are examples of unconscious Satanism. Guenon gives two reasons. Continue reading
Isaiah Saldivar Leads Mass Deliverance To Remove Demons that ‘Got Passed Down to You In the Womb’
“Every ancestral spirit. Every spirit that got passed down to you in the womb from your mom or your dad, I command every ancestral spirit that’s been there since the womb, Loose them! There it is. Come out in Jesus’ name!”
(Protestia) Deliverance minister Isaiah Saldivar, who is quickly becoming one of the prominent and visible representations of the charismatic right on account of a rapidly growing social media presence, continues to teach weird and wonky things to justify his raison d’être. Continue reading
If You Were A Sheep During Covid, Admit You Were Wrong And Do Better Next Time
“The ramifications of the Covid response will be felt for decades. If we learned anything from the WEF’s “Great Reset,” it’s that Covid is no one-off. Now that our leaders have watched the majority of the population relinquish their liberties for a virus comparable for many in the general population to the seasonal flu, they’re going to whip out the Covid playbook anytime they want to scare the populace into compliance.”
(Evita Duffy-Alfonso – The Federalist) If you were one of those people who always diligently wore an ineffective mask, got the experimental vaccine and boosters, or performatively practiced social distancing, you really owe an apology to those who stood up for civil liberties during Covid and must commit to being smarter and braver in the future. Continue reading
Dems Open Borders to Child Rapists Then Back Light Sentences
“You have to wonder if these Democrats are voted into office by sex traffickers or if they pay them off. California is now a sanctuary, a haven for these monsters. They have political power whether they vote or not. Allowing people like this to come into the country and remain means they will one day govern us, as they do in Mexico and other hellholes.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Democrats have left our borders open, and it has become a broad invitation to child traffickers. It doesn’t stop there—Democrats also support light prison sentences when the monsters are caught. Continue reading
Popular Worship Artists, Shane & Shane, Have Now Bit the Dust
(The Dissenter) I’m typically not drawn to contemporary Christian music for the very reasons that I’ve written about a dozen times. I simply do not view the industry as God-honoring, rather it is a self-promoting, man-pleasing industry designed to launch the careers of artists whose ultimate goal is to “make it big” in the secular world. Sure, there are some contemporary songs with theologically sound lyrics, but that’s part of the appeal. If they weren’t, their target audience wouldn’t buy their music or go to their concerts. Continue reading
Brutal ‘Twilight Zone’ Cartoon Shows Just How Mixed Up The USA Has Become
“Igunnubole argued that these guidelines don’t pay due regard to essential freedoms: “This is the latest misstep in a trend towards guidance which fails to give adequate weight to fundamental freedoms of speech, of conscience, of religion and more.”
(Steve Straub – The Federalist Papers) They say a picture can be worth a thousand words so here in one image is a brutal cartoon that shows just how mixed up our world has become. Continue reading
We Beat Them on Covid and We Will Stop Them on Transgenderism, Says My Son Hunter Star Laurence Fox
(Kurt Zindulka – Breitbart) In an exclusive interview with Breitbart London, Laurence Fox, the star of My Son Hunter and the leader of the anti-woke Reclaim Party, said that he believes that the age of transgenderism will go down in history similar to the McCarthy era and will be seen as a “strange blip” in history.
“We stopped them on COVID. They thought that we’d all have vaccine passports by now but we don’t. And we’ll stop them on the transgender stuff because there’s enough of us that don’t want it to happen,” he said. Continue reading
Witchcraft Sparkle for the Liberal Church
“The outside world needs to know that this is heretical Christianity, and that since the earliest times, the Church has confessed the Apostles’ Creed as the essence of the Christian faith, based on the eye-witness testimony of the original apostles and the teaching of Jesus.”
(Peter Jones – truthXchange) The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, a conglomeration of Lutheran denominations, had over five million members when it was launched in 1988, joining three independent Lutheran confessions with nearly 10,000 congregations and 65 synods. But now, in spite of the word “Evangelical,” this union is in decline…. Continue reading
