Is Rick Warren A False Teacher?

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Horse) Richard Duane Warren, commonly known as Rick Warren, is an American Evangelical pastor, author, and speaker. Born on January 28, 1954, in San Jose, California, he is widely recognized for his influential contributions to Christian ministry and his best-selling book “The Purpose Driven Life.”

Warren’s early life was marked by a strong religious foundation. He grew up in a Christian family and developed an interest in the church from a young age. After high school, he pursued his education at California Baptist University, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree. Following his undergraduate studies, he continued his theological education at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he earned a Master of Divinity degree. Continue reading

Seeking Counsel

“The tone of this column is cynical, I’m aware. But this entire Biden thing is bogus. The fix was in from the beginning, with Hunter not paying his taxes and generally behaving like a cartel member. The corrupt press helped Hunter out. The Justice Department didn’t care.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Attorney General Merrick Garland is scared. So is FBI Chief Christopher Wray. But most frightened of all should be President Joe Biden. I say should because, at this point, he might not understand or even remember how he enabled his son and brother to amass millions in foreign payments for doing nothing. Continue reading

Hypocrite Pastors Who Complain About Trump, But Refuse to Complain About Democrats

“It is impossible to make the case that voting for Democrats or supporting their pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ, anti-Christian policies and platform is not sinful. It is. And this is where the hypocrisy of these pastors and church leaders comes into play.” 

(The Dissenter) One of my favorite follows on Twitter is Woke Preacher Clips (WPC). I’m the kind of person who is mildly entertained by the mass amounts of stupidity plaguing our world, but at the same time, I grieve over it in the hopes that God will open the eyes of some of these people. It’s really not funny, it’s just how some people process such a sad reality…. Continue reading

Meet the 18 people charged with Trump in Georgia indictment

“Here’s what to know about the other 18 people charged with Trump in the Georgia probe.”

(The Hill) Former President Trump was indicted in Georgia late Monday night on 13 charges ranging from making false statements and impersonating a public officer to conspiracy and racketeering — a charge generally reserved for organized crime.

But the former president is far from the only person tied to the 2020 plot to keep him in power to face serious charges. Continue reading

The Chosen Cast Members Say Jesus Was ‘Flawed’ and That He Committed ‘Transgressions’ (Sin)

(The Dissenter) Anyone who still believes that the popular television show, The Chosen, is a Christian television show is deceiving themselves. While Christians and churches have been entranced by this show for the last several years, many of us have been sounding the alarm about the unbiblical and even subtle heretical propaganda that is being pushed by it. This show exists for the sole purpose of distorting the gospel and dishonoring God and His word.

The word “transgression” finds its roots in a concept that denotes the act of crossing over or stepping beyond a set boundary or limit…. Continue reading

Records Reveal Fauci Made Over $300 Million From the Covid Pandemic While Americans Suffered

“So, in other words, the Covid pandemic was one big ploy for the government to get massively wealthy.” 

(Sarah Arnold – Townhall) While the entire United States was under authoritarian mandates, top so-called Covid-19 “experts” were making hundreds of millions of dollars on the pandemic that caused lifelong hurdles for many Americans.

According to records, the former NIH Director, Dr. Francis Collins, and former NIAID Director, Dr. Anthony Fauci, made huge profits from royalty checks during the Chinese virus-fueled pandemic. At the same time, thousands of people struggled to put food on the table. Continue reading

FDA Says You Can Take Ivermectin Now – Not Satire!

“RFK Jr. explained why he thinks ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were banned. It would have collapsed a lucrative enterprise. He says the reason they destroyed ivermectin is because it would have prevented them from getting approval for their experimental vaccine.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The FDA now says we can treat COVID with ivermectin.  Hundreds of thousands of people might be alive today if they were allowed to take it during the pandemic.

Ivermectin began to work for my husband and me within an hour. It’s anecdotal, but I bought more of it to keep on hand. Continue reading

Sorry Church Ladies, Jesus is Not Your Romantic Partner

“This trend paints Him less as the sovereign ruler of the universe and more like a divine partner in a cosmic rom-com, always there with a comforting word, a box of spiritual chocolates, and a shoulder to cry on.”

(The Dissenter) In the modern cathedrals of pop-Christianity, where the beats of “worship music” resonate just a tad louder than doctrinal integrity, a new portrait of Jesus has been painted—one that bears less resemblance to the God revealed to us in Scripture and more to a Shakespearean Romeo. Yes, it seems that the Almighty Savior, who upholds the universe by the Word of His power, is now being serenaded as though He’s about to engage in a moonlit waltz…. Continue reading

Researchers have trained AI to steal your password by listening to you type because why not?

You’re saying this bot can figure it out just by hearing me type “S!lverSuRf@r1985”?

(Neo – Not the Bee) Most of us go to really great lengths to ensure our passwords are complicated, secure and un-crackable.

But now they’re inventing robots that literally can just listen to us type and figure it out.

A team of UK researchers has trained a deep learning model to interpret keystrokes remotely based solely on audio. Continue reading

The Afghanistan Withdrawal Re-Examined

(Cal Thomas – Townhall) One of the advantages to a change in majority in one or both houses of Congress is that the public gets to see what the other party won’t address or has been covering up.

Such was the case on Monday when Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) held a forum in Escondido, California, with parents of the 13 service members killed when a terrorist bomber detonated his vest during a chaotic withdrawal from Kabul Airport nearly two years ago. The parents claimed there has been a cover-up and insensitivity to their concerns from the Biden administration. Continue reading

God’s Impending Judgment on the False Churches of the Modern World

(The Dissenter) In the sprawling panorama of modern Evangelicalism, where the bright marquees of celebrated figures like Andy Stanley and Rick Warren frequently shine, a troubling trend stands out prominently. While historically, the church stood as a pillar of truth against the changing tides of culture, today’s landscape often tells a different story. Many church leaders, swayed more by societal currents than the unchanging Word of God, have morphed into spiritual chameleons, adjusting their hue to match the prevailing tones of popular sentiment. True devotion and fidelity to God’s commandments are now frequently sacrificed at the altar of cultural relevance, resulting in a false gospel tailored more for itching ears than for changed hearts. Continue reading

TGC Says Barbie Movie Matters Because 10 Percent of Women Leave Church Over Misogyny

“People may stop professing to be Christians, and people may stop going to a building they call “church.” But people don’t depart the faith because of interpersonal disputes or perceived societal wrongs. Rather they leave these institutions because they were never genuinely rooted in Christ, to begin with.” 

(The Dissenter) The Gospel Coalition has made quite the proposition suggesting that a novel source of enlightenment awaits the Church in the most unlikely of places: Barbie. Their article confidently boasts, “Why ‘Barbie’ Matters for the Church.” Indeed, amidst centuries of church history, doctrinal councils, and rigorous biblical exegesis, it seems we’ve inadvertently overlooked the profound spiritual insights that might be gleaned from Hollywood’s take on our favorite plastic protagonist. A remarkable oversight, truly. How did Augustine or Luther, the Apostle Paul, or even Jesus Himself, miss that? Continue reading

‘I Literally Look Like Minnie Mouse!’: Disney Partners With Crossdressing TikTok Star to Push Girls’ Apparel

“For those who might be in shock at the level of degeneracy unfolding in our current culture, this is a dude who dresses like a lady telling young children how to dress up like a fictional female mouse. If you look up “insanity” in the dictionary, there should be a link to this video. No other explanation is needed.”

(Michael Cantrell – PJ Media) Just when you think the world cannot get any wackier, Disney says, “Hold my Bud Light” and totally proves you wrong. According to a new report from Breitbart News, the Walt Disney Company has followed in the footsteps of what was once the most popular beer brand in the world by creating a partnership with a crossdressing TikTok influencer to help promote apparel for girls, specifically Minnie Mouse-themed clothing featuring a red dress, yellow pumps, and a red hair bow.

Anyone else want to get off this ride now? I’m ready to jump ship; how about you? Continue reading

Deborah Birx Promotes Pro Abortion AIDS Relief at Christianity Today

“PEPFAR is nothing but another perpetual government waste program, so why should a generation of Americans Christians be rallied to the cause, especially one that was sold through hyperbolic alarmism?”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Horse) Covid brought many vile characters within the government bureaucracy into the limelight. So-called public health experts that only occasionally became newsworthy figures became household names. Trump’s Covid task force included several of these dark figures, including Anthony Fauci, Robert Redfield, and Deborah Birx, who was most known for bedazzling her masks after previously dissuading their use. Continue reading

Nancy Mace is the symptom of a sleeping American church

“Nancy Mace is part of the problem: she was one of several Republicans to vote last year for the Respect for Marriage Act, a law which codifies Obergefell into federal law, and is one of the most liberal voices in the Republican caucus on abortion.”

(Matt Brock – The Sentinel) By now you have likely heard about the remarks made by Representative Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, regarding the events that preceded her arrival at the prayer breakfast hosted by Republican Senator Tim Scott. Continue reading

Why We Must Confront False Teachers No Matter How Outlandish and Absurd They Are

“…we recall the compelling example of Elijah’s encounter with the prophets of Baal. With righteous indignation and confident trust in the God of Israel, Elijah could have ignored them and left them to their own devices. Instead, he mocked these false prophets. He did not ignore them, he engaged and confronted them. His stand against this evil is a clear illustration of how these modern-day Pharisees—false teachers, progressive Christians, social justice activists—must be faced. Their mouths must be stopped…”

(The Dissenter) In a world feverishly engaged in an unrestrained pursuit of “progress,” the demarcation line between secular culture and shallow, cultural Christianity is not merely fading—it is being intentionally obliterated. To be clear, the line between the pagan culture and true, biblical Christianity, will always be clear and the world will continue to push those who hold to the unchangeable truths of God’s word further away. Even as the world continues to shun us, we must acknowledge that we’re not entirely immune to the wave of deception that’s assaulting us from every direction. We have to fight. Continue reading

Mark Levin to Trump’s Legal Team: ‘Seek an Emergency Hearing Before the Supreme Court’

UPDATE BELOW

These indictments are not only suspiciously timed to counter and suppress any negative Biden news — such as the testimony of numerous government whistleblowers and Hunter Biden’s former best friend and business partner, Devon Archer — but they also come at a time during the 2024 campaign to have “maximum influence on the election” even though there is “no possibility the statute of limitations would run on any of them.” 

(Gwendolyn Sims – PJ Media) Hours after PJ Media’s Paula Bolyard reported that “former President Donald Trump entered a not-guilty plea on federal charges that he conspired to remain in power after the 2020 election,” constitutional legal expert Mark Levin released an X statement detailing what he believes the Trump legal team should do next. Continue reading

Jesus’s View on Biblical Sexual Ethics Has Not Shifted

(Robert A. J. Gagnon) A FB friend has notified me that he is no longer in “the same theological space or belief” on the issue of homosexual practice. This is what I have written to him:

You identify yourself as “gay” (presumably self-affirming) in the Tik Tok video linked to on your FB page. There you mourn the breakup of your family that presumably resulted from this self-identification. Your self-identifier on your FB page uses the hashtag “faithfully lgbtq.” You are doubtlessly faithful to that cause, but you cannot be simultaneously faithful to Jesus.

An assured result of historical study of Jesus is that Jesus based a limitation of two persons to a marriage (and thus of any sexual union) on the God-ordained male-female binary, which he viewed as foundational for all sexual ethics. For Jesus (and for the writers of Scripture generally) God intentionally designed two, and only two, sexes to be sexual counterparts or complements. Continue reading

COVID Wars: Shoddy Science and Medical Malpractice

“Increasingly we are being vindicated. Barely a day goes by when we do not learn even more about just how wrong so much of the ‘science’ was, how dictatorial and totalitarian our governments were, and how much medical fascism was allowed to take place.”

(Bill Muehlenberg – Culture Watch) Medicine and science have been massively abused over the past few years:

Some of us were quite skeptical of what was being done to us in the name of Covid from very early on in the piece. Things did not seem to add up, and the hysterical media alarmism, coupled with Statist overkill via lockdowns and all the rest certainly made us wonder. Continue reading

Oregon Clinic Drops Woman Battling Breast Cancer Over ‘Transphobia’

“The most chilling facet of this situation is that the clinic is more than willing to hand Barbera a potential death sentence over a difference of opinion. The second-most chilling facet is that this situation was not created as a result of a law, policy, or practice of a federal, state, or municipal agency. This was done at the discretion of the Oregon Health Science University, which did not like Barbera’s views on gender.”

(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) Marlene Barbera is an Oregon resident who is fighting breast cancer. Until recently, she was a patient at the Richmond Family Medicine Clinic in Portland and was scheduled for a mastectomy. She will now be forced to seek treatment elsewhere—if that is even an option for her. Continue reading

Dr. Ben Carson: US Becoming ‘Totalitarian’

(Newsmax) Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson told Newsmax Wednesday that the United States is becoming “totalitarian” in the wake of a third criminal indictment of former President Donald Trump.

“Where are we going? Where is this leading? What is going to happen to your children and your grandchildren?” Carson said during his appearance Wednesday on “The Chris Salcedo Show.” “What kind of environment are they going to grow up in if we have a situation in which we weaponize the Justice Department against our political enemies? Continue reading

IRS Whistleblower: Additional Potential Witnesses Against the Bidens Are Being Pressured Into Silence

“When Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys in the District of Columbia and the Central District of California declined the case after only a brief review, and refused to allow Mr. Shapley or me to brief them on our findings, I knew I had to blow the whistle.”

(Guy Benson – Townhall) I realize much of political commentary flying around this week is of the ‘all Trump, all the time’ variety — and I’ve offered a few of my own baseline thoughts about the latest indictment, while deferring to legal experts I trust on the matter…. Continue reading
