(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) Reader, do you agree with Pastor Greg Laurie that “House of David” and “The Chosen” are great evangelistic opportunities? Yes? No? Leave your comments, pro or con, on the blog.
According to the Christian Post:
The new Prime Video series “House of David” is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about faith-based shows of the year — and for Pastor Greg Laurie, its release represents more than just good television.

“You can’t prop up a counterfeit and call it conviction. You can’t redefine family, parade children through your ideological carnival, and call it “representation.” You can’t serve two masters—and Chip and Joanna have made it crystal clear which one they’re bowing to now.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Once again, the will of the American people has been trampled by an unelected federal judge. Judge Joseph Laplante of New Hampshire shamelessly
“Baylor is thoroughly compromised, as we’ve cataloged over the last few years. They have several staff members who have been openly promoting LGBTQ ideology for years, including a pro-choice, gay-affirming, trans-affirming professor, and their other greatest hits featured below reveals the true heart and trajectory of the storied University…”
“The ENTIRE mental health professional community was WRONG about self-esteem. They said it would improve mental health, pave the road to success, and make the world a better place….In fact, however, people with high esteem for themselves are highly prone to episodes of clinical depression, rarely achieve at a level commensurate with their ability, and tend to be sociopathic.”
“Comey and Brennan are two of the most vile people to emerge from the ranks of chronic Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers. While Comey is, as I said, smug, Brennan is filled with undeserved self-righteousness and a mistaken belief that he’s always the smartest guy in the room.” 
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Eric Metaxas has had a prolific career riding the coattails of the Post-War Consensus martyr, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In a recent spat with the Episcopalian Church USA, Metaxas chastises them for invoking Dietrich Bonhoeffer for their liberal opposition to President Trump. However, in a twist of irony, Metaxas’s critiques of Episcopalians ring more true of Bonhoeffer himself.
“Attorney General Pam Bondi shared that two Chinese nationals were recently charged in Michigan for attempting to smuggle potential agroterrorism weapons into the country. Soon after, a Chinese citizen was arrested for sending packages of concealed biological materials into the United States. “We will prosecute you. We will hold you accountable,” Bondi vowed, adding that the FBI has opened over 100 biosmuggling investigations in recent years.”
“If we don’t have firmly fixed in our minds the greatest of all spiritual realities, which is our union with Christ through faith, our joy will be weak and fragile – and so will our life and service to God.”
“The attacks against ICE have escalated, yet again. It’s not just firebombs and concrete milkshakes anymore. Now, it’s full-blown assassination plots and bullets. And on the Fourth of July, no less—so you know this was a big political statement.”
(Independent Sentinel) James Bryan White worked for former CIA director John Brennan and he believes Brennan should be in prison. However, it’s not only Brennan who should be in prison. We all know who was behind the framing of Donald Trump for years.
“These so-called “Starseeds” are said to be empathic, intuitive, deeply creative, often diagnosed with ADHD or autism, and painfully misunderstood. But let’s be honest—these are just broad traits cherry-picked to flatter every parent who wants to believe their over-pharmaceuticalized kid is too evolved for algebra homework….”
(Protestia) Shawn Bolz continues to discredit himself more and more as a spiritual leader and supposed prophet of God, recently claiming that ChatGPT is interpreting tongues.
“This NY Times article is precisely why hard-working Americans simply do not trust the media.”

“If you’ve been paying attention to the cultural shifting sands around you, you’re likely familiar with unbelievers using the Bible against Christians and even against itself. The phrase is biblical, but the application and meaning are anti-biblical (antinomian, to be precise).”
“He was not mistakenly deported. If you’re illegal, you’re going. We don’t abide by or accept the liberal media’s fake news nonsense and extraneous linguistic gymnastics to defend someone getting the boot. He’s a gang member who is going to be deported again. As for the supposed administrative error, such things happen. Oh well.”
“Kevin DeYoung is someone who his orthodox on paper but compromised in practice. With him in authority, you get feminized managerial liberalism, which is what was shown at the PCA. This is ultimately why Kevin DeYoung should never be given power, because he will wield it against people who are fighting for the church.”
“Riley Gaines, another athlete who tied Thomas in NCAA competition, called the resolution “further proof that President Trump and his government agencies are committed to a pro-woman agenda.” Gaines is right. This administration isn’t just talking about women’s rights—they’re actually defending them, sending a clear message to every college and university in America: You can’t trample women’s civil rights in the name of political correctness and expect to get away with it.”
“Several years ago, Baylor University’s Board of Regents granted the creation of Prism, the pro-LGBTQ group on campus that sponsored the aforementioned queer-sex ed course, and which has continued pushing for greater LGBTQ representation on campus. At this rate, Baylor will be fully LGBTQ inclusive in about a decade.”
“It was reductionism dressed up in religious finery, offering a shortcut through the wilderness of Christian life. And the result was what you’d expect from any spiritual vending machine… a faith devoid of repentance, maturity, or true accountability.”
