A Biblical Perspective in the Preeminence of Scripture in Christian Politics

“The preeminence of Scripture in the life of a Christian, including in the political sphere, cannot be overstated. As Paul declares in 2 Corinthians 10:5 (ESV), “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” This is our mantle, this is the standard we uphold, and this is the course we must faithfully tread as believers navigating the complex arenas of politics and social policy.”

(The Dissenter) As we traverse the complex pathways of modern politics, we encounter an ever-changing terrain of ideas, values, and movements, each vying for prominence in our socio-political landscape. Emblematic of this dynamic is the growing popularity of progressive thought which finds its place on issues as diverse as economic policy, civil rights, and bioethics…. Continue reading

Vanguard Church Dares SBC to Disfellowship

“There is no scientific basis to Meyers Briggs or Enneagram, nor should they be employed within the church for any reason. Moreover, they are employed by Ivy League universities as tools of discrimination (see Harvard). And Spiritual Gifts Test are equally unscientific.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The passage of the Mike Law amendment at the SBC 2023 convention, paired with the disfellowshipping of Fern Creek and Saddleback (or Brokeback) Church has sent a warning shot across the denomination to the egalitarians within…. Continue reading

Kevin McCarthy Supports Efforts to Expunge Donald Trump’s Impeachments

“I’m proud to work with Chairwoman Elise Stefanik on our joint resolutions to correct the record and clear President Trump’s good name,” Green said.

(Jordan Dixon-Hamilton -Breitbart) House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced his support of House Republicans’ efforts to expunge both of former President Donald Trump’s impeachments.

“Yeah, because, look, I voted against both impeachments,” McCarthy told reporters on Friday when asked if he supports expunging both of Trump’s impeachments. Continue reading

PCA Passes Overture Condeming Sex-Changes For Children by 58% to 42% Vote

“Though that sounds very close, many Presbyterians opposed it not because they supported sex changes for children, but because they disagreed that it was the church’s role to petition the government over matters of public policy.”

(Protestia) The theologically conservative Presbyterian Church in America had its General Assembly last week where they passed Overture 12: Petition Government to End Sex-change Procedures for Minors. The script calls for the denomination to petition the Biden administration to “renounce the sin” of encouraging and entrenching ‘gender-affirming care’ like puberty blockers and surgical intervention in minors. Continue reading

Science v. Ideology: 36 Climate Models Overestimated Warming in U.S. Corn Belt

“Climate change alarmism has been a convenient fraud for governments to increase their power and control, even while their demands hurt the economy, create power grid crises…and seem likely to make people poorer. It’s all about control, not about science. “Science” is just the propaganda cudgel used to shut down any debate.”

(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) Facts don’t care about your fear-mongering. In an outcome completely foreseeable after 50+ years of failed climate predictions, it seems that a whopping 36 climate models overestimated warming in America’s Corn Belt — by a lot. Continue reading

Chairman of Jen Hatmaker’s Child Sex Change Org Also Active in North Point’s LGBTQ Kids Ministry

(The Dissenter)  Protestia’s recent investigation has unveiled disturbing actions by Legacy Collective, a pro-LGBTQ financial front group co-founded by Jen Hatmaker. The Collective, through its ‘Mama Bears’ initiative, has funneled $150,000 into organizations promoting highly controversial practices, including Kind Clinic and Gender Spectrum. Most concerning, some of these groups advocate for and provide “gender-affirming care” to minors as young as three years old, and many include irreversible surgical procedures and hormone therapies that equate to nothing more than genital mutilation to minors. Continue reading

Texas public universities offering women’s studies courses on witchcraft, ‘worship of the devil’

In addition to historical events, the course includes a number of satanic-oriented curricula, including studies on “Worship of the Devil,” “Witchcraft and the Law,” and “Demonic Possession and Witchcraft.”

(Christian Post) Students at publicly funded Texas universities are now able to enroll in courses about witches, black magic and the supernatural — under the guise of women’s studies.

Texas Tech University is offering Women and Gender Studies course 4301 titled “Witches, Bruxas, & Black Magic” in a course listed June 12 on the Lubbock campus’ website. Continue reading

Joe Biden, Merrick Garland Implicated in IRS Whistleblower Testimony: 5 Key Questions

(Joel B. Pollak – Breitbart) President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland may face tough questions after Thursday’s release of the testimony of an IRS whistleblower, which was released by the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee.

Republicans released transcripts of two whistleblowers, one of whom said he had seen evidence that Joe Biden was present when his son, Hunter, attempted to pressure a Chinese investor to send them millions of dollars. The whistleblower, IRS Criminal Supervisory Special Agent Gary A. Shapley Jr., also said that the Department of Justice had interfered in the effort to investigate Hunter Biden for tax crimes — contrary to Garland’s claims. Continue reading

IRS whistleblower says search warrants, charges for Hunter Biden blocked, Joe met Chinese client

“I am blowing the whistle because the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office, Department of Justice Tax, and Department of Justice provided preferential treatment and unchecked conflicts of interest in an important and high-profile investigation of the President’s son, Hunter Biden,”

(John Solomon – Just the News) A supervisory IRS agent divulged to Congress widespread interference in the probe of Hunter Biden, including the blockage of two search warrants and more extensive criminal charges, while also confirming the government had evidence that Joe Biden met with his son’s Chinese business partners, according to testimony released Thursday, Continue reading

Thoughts on Female Deacons

(Joe Gibbons) The support for women being ordained to the diaconate is a movement that, for whatever reason, simply will not go away. It is persistently brought to the fore of various Reformed churches within the North American Presbyterian and Reformed Council (NAPARC). As I viewed the 219th General Synod of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (ARP) this week, I was struck by what I thought of as somewhat nebulous argumentation on the part of those who spoke in favor of retaining their denomination’s status quo. Since 1972, the ARP’s Form of Government has allowed local church sessions the freedom to choose whether or not to ordain women to the diaconate…. Continue reading

Arson in Yosemite, not climate change as claimed

“What I can tell you is this is a direct result of what is climate change. You can’t have a 10-year drought in California and expect things to be the same. And we are now paying the price for that 10-year drought and that climate change.” LOL

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The massive fire in Yosemite, blamed on climate change – the left’s default – was caused by Democrat Edward Wackerman.

When the fire occurred, Democrats immediately said climate change caused it, but no, a Democrat did it…. Continue reading

Riley Gaines Is the Hero Sane America Needs This Pride Month

“Riley Gaines has been doing stellar work advocating for female athletes. Hopefully, she will inspire many more women to become more vocal. As I repeatedly say, the LGBTQ+ fringe gets away with everything because it’s louder than everyone else. It’s time that people on the Right get loud.” 

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) This week’s Pride Month 2023 weariness update features a bright spot in the pushback against the Rainbow Warrior rampage. To be sure, that pushback has had more traction of late, but there is a lot more to be done if we are one day going to reach a point where we’re not being forced to care. We’re not hateful bigots, we simply don’t want to be gagging on the rainbows being shoved down our throats every June. Continue reading

America Wakes Up to Woke

“Neither the mansions of Beverly Hills nor estates of Presidio Heights qualify as sanctuaries from violent criminals, who are now exempted by the anointed from legal consequences. The wokest of Hollywood celebs will soon lose movie roles and be disqualified for film awards on the basis of their race.” 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Wokeness was envisioned as a new reboot of the coalition of the oppressed.

Those purportedly victimized by traditional America would find “intersectional” solidarity in their victimhood owing to the supposed sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other alleged American sins, past and present. Continue reading

Division, chaos, discord, disunity are symptoms of walking away from God

“We did not get here by accident; this was the point all along, transforming us from a harmonious society into a people who give hearty approval to every kind of wickedness and evil under heaven (Romans 1:32). And while this was clearly the point, there most certainly is a cure.”

(Kendall Lankford) In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. The Earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. – Genesis 1:1-2

Just moments before the “in the beginning,” nothing existed. And for limitless eternities, our God was perfectly thrilled to dwell enraptured within the inner trinitarian love of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And then, oh, about six to ten thousand years ago, God caused time to start ticking and space to bubble into being. The text says God first created the heavens and the Earth, which before the issuance of light, was just a collection of dark, formless, voided proto-matter that had yet to be organized into something meaningful. All of that changes in verse 2. Continue reading

Aimee Byrd Torches Her ‘Uptight’ Old Church, Reveals THIS about Her New One

“The last five years of Byrd’s life and ministry represent a failure to be honest about what she believes and offer us a picture of what it looks like to reject labels even while covertly embracing them.”

(Protestia) Former professing complementarian Aimee Byrd has ripped into her former church while revealing she now attends a church led by women pastors, highlighting the downgrade she’s been on and vindicating many who have been warning about her drift for years. Continue reading

Exclusive: Social Security employees forced to attend ‘mandatory’ transgender training

Employees were told to include names and pronouns in email signatures, as well as utilize “gender-neutral language” when referring to other employees in order to avoid assumptions about their sexual orientation and gender identity. Managers were instructed that employees are permitted “safe access to their preferred restroom” and that office dress codes “should not restrict an employee’s clothing or appearance based on gender.”

(Ben Ziesloft – The Sentinel) Employees of the Social Security Administration were required to watch an online training which warned that the use of preferred pronouns is compulsory and threatened investigations for those deemed noncompliant, as revealed in audio recordings obtained by The Sentinel. Continue reading

Tucker Goes Scorched Earth on the Biden ‘Princeling’ & the DOJ

Watch the video.

“As far as Merrick Garland’s Justice Department is concerned, Hunter Biden is done. There was no pre-dawn raid carried live simultaneously on CNN. There was no perp walk, no handcuffs, no press conference.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Tucker addressed the unequal justice afforded Hunter Biden in Episode 5 of Tucker on Twitter. No felonies, no mugshot, no 5 am raids, no jail time, no nothing. Continue reading

Southern Baptist Pastor Makes Epic False Prophecy About Women Pastors in the SBC

“O’Brien’s “prophetic declaration” here that allowing women to preach is a move of the Holy Spirit is grossly disingenuous and outright blasphemous.”

(Reformation Charlotte) You may remember a few months ago as we reported on the saga of the supposed “outpouring of the Holy Spirit” at Asbury during the month of February. While many of the same hyper-charismatic blowhards were absolutely sure that the event was genuine—despite the fact that it platformed homosexuals and promoted a lot of false teachings and affirmed various false religious movements—perhaps none were as vocal as Southern Baptist pastor, Malachi O’Brien. Continue reading

Handicapping Don and Joe

“Keep your eye on the Biden “bribe” stuff. Democrat honchos are worried about that. Obviously, the corrupt Justice Department will not aggressively investigate the Biden’s, but Congressional committees can do serious damage to the President.”

(Bill O’Reilly) From County Donegal Ireland – Many Irish think we’re crazy. In a land where political and religious division has led to thousands of violent deaths, the citizens of Eire have little time for impeachments and indictments on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Continue reading

“Sodomonogamy” is not a good thing

(Konrad Holden – The Sentinel) The homosexuality issue is a cultural “canary in the coal mine,” as it were. If homosexuality is affirmed by conservatives, the canary is dead, and Christians had better scramble for fresher air.

But with this issue, to perhaps over-stress the analogy, discerning eyes can see the poor canary gasping long before it lays down for its final sleep.

During the 2022 season finale of Daily Wire Backstage, co-founder Jeremy Boreing said this about the US Supreme Court Obergefell decision: Continue reading

Hunter Biden to Plead Guilty to Multiple Federal Crimes With No Jail Time

“President Joe Biden has spent the better part of the last half-century demanding that Americans pay higher taxes — their “fair share” — and more recently called for a significant increase in the number of IRS investigators even as his son who “has done nothing wrong” failed to pay a tax bill of more than $1 million.”

(Spencer Brown – Townhall) Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has reportedly reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors that will keep the First Kid from serving time and deal him little more than a slap on the wrist in the form of “diversion” programming and probation. Continue reading

Now They Tell Us: New Report Reveals ‘Critical Vulnerabilities’ in Dominion Voting Machines

“The overarching question now is whether these vulnerabilities can and will be fixed in time for the next presidential election, or whether the Dominion voting machines will once again present a golden opportunity for all those who want to “enhance” our next presidential contest the way they did the last one.”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) As we all know, the 2020 presidential election was the most honest, above-board exercise of popular suffrage in the recorded history of mankind, and anyone who suggests otherwise is a racist, bigoted redneck yahoo who wants to install Donald Trump as dictator-for-life of this once-proud republic….

For by Grace you have been saved through Faith

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 (LSB) 

What is it that causes God to justify believers? What is justification? I heard a definition a long time ago where the preacher said something like this, “Justification is what happens when we are born again, it is ‘Just as if I had never sinned’” Of course, those of us who are Reformed in our Theology believe that our regeneration, our quickening, our New Birth takes place prior to belief because that is what enables ungodly, spiritually dead people to repent and believe. Justification follows that. Let’s look at an example. Continue reading

Celebrate Good Times, Come On! Patriotic Boycotts Cost Woke Corporations $28 BILLION In Market Value

“All the news, however, is not good. Axios explains that Kohl’s stock “slumped by over 20% in the wake of the furor, but has since rebounded.” Rebounded? Not a good sign. These corporations have to be made to feel the heat in an ongoing manner, or they’ll just resume with their woke propaganda, secure in the knowledge that patriotic anger will blow over.” 

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Grab a Yuengling and join me in a toast to the patriots who have let Target, Anheuser-Busch, and Kohl’s know that “Go woke, go broke” is not just a slogan. The three corporate giants all famously kowtowed to the Leftist agenda over the last few months, and now they’re feeling the pain for having done so: they’ve lost a collective $28.7 billion in market value since the beginning of April, when Bud Light ads featuring the obnoxious fake woman and publicity hound Dylan Mulvaney first appeared. Continue reading

The historical revisionism of the leftist mind

“Even more problematic is the opportunity that history professors have to indoctrinate students with the activist playbook so common amongst progressive people: Oversimplify history by creating villains and heroes based on their identity markers. Impute racist or sexist motives to every historical figure who does not pass progressive muster. Wax eloquent about class struggle in every historical era. Discuss traditional social norms as though they are unenlightened and backwards….”

(Grant Haun – The Sentinel) Knowledge of history is an endangered specimen.

In a recent survey by the Institute for Citizens and Scholars, a sample of Americans were asked ten questions about our nation’s founding taken from the U.S. Citizenship Test. Only one in three respondents passed this quiz, and the age gap in passing rate revealed a disturbing trend: 74% of respondents aged 65 years or older passed, followed by 51% of respondents aged between 45 and 64 years, and only 19% of those under 45….
