1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God , and God was the Word. John 1:1 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)
Carefully examine the four Greek examples I placed at the top of this post [on the site]. The first one is from the Textus Receptus, which is the Greek behind the KJV. The next two are from the middle of the 19th century with Tichendorf’s New Testament predating Wescott and Hort’s by about 9 years or so…. Continue reading
“Weinsheimer specifically cautioned that the blanket wording could make some of the commutations ineffective, or worse, extend clemency to violent crimes that weren’t supposed to fall under Biden’s stated standards. The White House…ignored victims’ families who pleaded against releasing certain offenders. Instead, they shoved through three massive autopen-signed warrants covering thousands of cases without so much as a second thought.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The Joe Biden autopen scandal just got a whole lot worse.
For months, we’ve known that his team used the autopen to rubber-stamp thousands of pardons and commutations in the final days of his presidency…. Continue reading
(David Morrill – Protestia) James Clayton Dobson Jr., the evangelical psychologist who became one of the most recognizable voices in American Christianity through his ministry Focus on the Family, died on August 21, 2025. He was 89. His passing was confirmed by the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.
For more than four decades, Dobson shaped evangelical thought on marriage, parenting, and family life. Trained as a child psychologist, he first gained national attention in 1970 with his bestselling book Dare to Discipline, which promoted a model of firm yet caring child-rearing. The book’s success led to media appearances, speaking tours, and eventually the creation of a small radio program that would become the foundation of Focus on the Family. Continue reading
“…they call us the dangerous ones. They call anyone who dares to live in basic alignment with God’s order—male and female, marriage, family, work, worship—a fascist. It would almost be hilarious if it weren’t so pathetic. The insanity of our age is not subtle—it’s screaming, shrieking, screeching in our faces with a nose ring dangling like a cow’s bell.”
(The Dissenter) Here we are in 2025, watching an entire generation mutilate itself while screaming that we’re the fascists. They pierce, ink, carve, and scar their bodies in the name of “freedom,” yet they march under the banner of rage, demanding that anyone who still looks and lives like a normal human being must be silenced. And, of course, all they’re straight, white, conservative, male enemies are…fascists. The irony is so thick it’s almost Scripture-worthy satire. Continue reading
28 And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may be bold, and not be ashamed before him, at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, know ye that he which doeth righteously, is born of him. 1 John 2:28-29 (1599 Geneva Bible)
All who are truly in Christ must admit that this walk is fraught with doubt as well as pressure to conform to a form of godliness that has no power, to be faithful at doing church as the primary indicator of our genuineness, as well as to live up to the idea that lost people have of what a Christian must be…. Continue reading
“The Apostle Paul compares the spiritual aspects of our lives to a warrior’s armor in Ephesians 6:10-18. Our worship — along with the rest of our spiritual disciplines — is spiritual warfare. But leftists don’t get nuance.”
(Chris Queen – PJ Media) The left loves to slap faithful conservatives with the canard of “Christian nationalism.” The strict definition of “Christian nationalism” is a complete takeover of the government with Christians governing every aspect of society. It’s not a feasible prospect because the theological and denominational variety among Christians would make policy decisions difficult to implement. Continue reading
“Begg concludes by framing the issue as compassion. In the Bible, none of the instances where Jesus shows compassion does he even come close to endorsing sin.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Last year, Evangelical Dark Web broke the story of Alistair Begg giving sinful advice to a grandmother to attend a gay wedding and bring a gift. This story instantly blew up and led to Begg getting canceled from [the Shepherd’s Conference, a major Reformed evangelical pastors’ gathering led by California pastor and author John MacArthur] a radio ministry [American Family Radio] and losing much of his credibility. Continue reading
(Protestia) Six months after NYT bestselling author and cultural commentator Megan Basham announced on X that she had been diagnosed with ‘stage three, advanced colorectal cancer,’ she shared the welcome news that, following months of grueling treatment, “my scans came back all clear-no evidence of cancer.”
Basham, known for her reporting at The Daily Wire and her book ‘Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda,’ shared that she was diagnosed with cancer shortly after Thanksgiving in 2024. Continue reading
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) For years, Democrats have been desperate to turn Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes into a political weapon against Donald Trump. They’ve tried to weave the two men together into some elaborate scandal, hoping it would be the silver bullet that finally takes Trump down.
And yet, like so many other “bombshells” before it, the narrative has collapsed under the weight of reality.
As has been proven repeatedly, there’s no connection. Trump’s hands are clean, and now, sworn testimony from someone positioned to know for certain has blown apart this left-wing fantasy. Continue reading
(Joshua Parcha – TruthScript) I have observed several pastors claim that “guilt is a gift.” The argument goes something like this: Guilt is a gift because it tells us that we have done something wrong, that we need to stop, and that we need to ask for forgiveness and repent. One pastor put it this way: “Guilt is a gift because it allows us the chance to correct something before it becomes something bigger, something worse.” Another pastor, in a video titled “Guilt is a Gift,” stated: “Conscience is God’s cop that follows you night and day… The thundering voice of our conscience is going to scream: You did wrong. You did wrong. You did wrong.” Continue reading
“Obama gave it away. They took the most valuable piece surrounded on four sides by ocean, a beautiful piece of property. Why the heck did he do that to them? In one of the dumbest real estate deals I’ve ever seen.”
(Eric Max – Newsmax) As he tries to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, President Donald Trump said it is for greater reasons than merely Nobel Peace Prize nominations: He is hoping it helps him “get to heaven.”
“If I can save 7,000 people per week from being killed – I want to get to heaven, if possible; I’m hearing I’m not doing well,” Trump said in a televised phone interview Tuesday morning. “If I can get to heaven, this will be a reason.” Continue reading
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the Apostles’ hands the holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay the hands, he may receive the holy Ghost.
20 Then said Peter unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou thinkest that the gift of God may be obtained with money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor fellowship in this business: for thine heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, that if it be possible, the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23 For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. Acts 8:18-23 (1599 Geneva Bible)
In these times of the “Compromised Church” with very little knowledge of historical Christianity and what makes up what is truly Orthodox, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised when I’m called a heretic and false teacher for teaching Reformation Theology and then revealing that my view of eschatology is (gasp) not dispensational/pre-millennialism…. Continue reading
(Hans von Spakovsky – The Patriot Post) On Oct. 6, just a few short months from now, the Supreme Court marshal will utter the traditional “Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!” — marking the start of yet another Supreme Court term.
The court’s last term, which ended in June, featured hot-button topics ranging from nationwide injunctions to parental rights to religious liberty, and it delivered no shortage of important rulings that will spark debate for years to come. This new term looks no different, offering a packed docket destined to ignite national conversation and shape legal precedent on very important issues. Continue reading
Martin drew a stark picture of Biden’s Justice Department targeting everyday Americans. “Joe Biden’s Justice Department actively targeted American citizens, Catholics who went to Mass, parents who went to school boards. Carter Page was destroyed by the Russia hoax, and we’re sitting around and pretending it’s okay.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Ed Martin, the director of the Department of Justice Weaponization Working Group, joined Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” for an explosive interview about ongoing investigations into government abuse of power…. Continue reading
“I hope there is a second summit meeting. But before that happens, evil Vlad must understand what awaits him if he continues destroying a country for nothing but personal vanity.”
(Bill O’Reilly) Here’s the most important thing to know about Trump/Putin in Alaska. The evil dictator wants to continue killing people because he likes it. Conversely, Donald Trump would like to save lives.
The President literally rolled out the red carpet for evil Putin, showing him respect he doesn’t deserve. But sometimes flattery can lead to positive outcomes.
Not this time. Continue reading
13 But the Publican standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner. Luke 18:13 (1599 Geneva Bible)
In our day it is not unusual to hear a man-centered version of the Gospel message that has everything turned around backward and is presented in such a way that is meant to appeal emotionally to unbelievers with a statement such as, “Christ’s crucifixion is proof of our worth to God!” The appeal is meant to show that if Christ was willing to go to Cross to save sinners like us then that proves we are of value to God…. Continue reading
59 These things spake he in the Synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of his disciples (when they heard this) said, This is an hard saying: who can hear it?
61 But Jesus knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this offend you? John 6:59-61 (1599 Geneva Bible)
One theologian that has helped me a great deal in my journey into the truth, out of darkness into light, is Dr. C. Matthew McMahon at A Puritan’s Mind. He was the pastor of Christ Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church in South Florida…. Continue reading
“Shocked? You shouldn’t be. The same experts who demanded we blindly trust mRNA technology were also the ones insisting it made sense to vaccinate children against COVID—a claim that never held water.”
Earlier this month, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. canceled nearly $500 million worth of grants and contracts tied to mRNA vaccine development, and announced the creation of a vaccine safety task force—an effort to address decades of alleged violations of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. The legacy media immediately went on the offensive, slamming the move…. Continue reading
“Putin said if Donald Trump was President at the time of the invasion, there would have been no war, no invasion. While media says it’s Kremlin propaganda, it is likely true. Democrats put a dementia patient in the presidency who allowed it to happen.”
(Mary Dowling) President Trump, who works very hard for this country, believes a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is in the works but with an important sticking point which he didn’t name. We can guess it’s over land. Continue reading
“We have sleeper agents in the Church, and I don’t mean tin-foil hat conspiracy theories. I’m talking about Tim Keller’s proteges who’ll preach justification by faith on Sunday and “find common ground” with Catholic cardinals on Monday. I’m talking about The Gospel Coalition’s endless parade of unity-at-all-costs articles, where defending the Reformation is treated like an optional elective for cranky old white guys.”
(The Dissenter) I’ve always said a nation without borders isn’t a nation, it’s a yard sale. Anyone can stroll in, grab what they want, and stroll back out. Hang all the flags you want, blast the national anthem on repeat, but if the gates are open and there’s no one at the checkpoint, it’s not your country anymore—it’s a tourist destination for opportunists. Continue reading
17 Wherefore, be ye not unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess: but be fulfilled with the Spirit,
19 Speaking unto yourselves in Psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts,
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God even the Father, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Ephesians 5:17-21 (1599 Geneva Bible)
Arrogance, boasting, retaliation, and self-protection are just a few of the fruits of Human pride. The natural mind exalts pride while demeaning humility. Timidity is often confused with humility. Timidity is actually a fruit of pride and is a form of fear…. Continue reading
(John Goodell – TruthScript) When we read our Bibles as Christians, we are often looking for what God wants us to believe, commands to guide our lives, and examples to follow. As we read, we should also be learning what not to be like. The Pharisees were a group of people that Jesus was the hardest on, and so we want to learn from them what not to be like. In fact, Jesus exhorted His disciples in Matthew 23:3 to not do “the works they do, for they preach but do not practice.” Jesus’ instruction here reveals to us his main concern with the Pharisees—hypocrisy.
In politics in the late 80s, the term “race card” was born. It was used to weaponize people against their political foes to discredit them…. Continue reading
By Marcia Montenegro, Christian Answers for the New Age
This is an updated post on some New Age doctors that CANA has warned about in the past (see the many resources listed at the end). What I and others have observed over the years is that health care has become infected with New Age and occult practices that initially were seen as alien but have now mainstreamed. Some practices are outright energy healing, like Reiki, while others are based on belief in these energies but appear more conventional. Shamanism has come to the health field, both in the culture and in the church, and the doctors examined here are part of that influence.
The Doctors
One of these doctors is Dr. Mehmet Oz who admits he is a follower of Emmanuel Swedenborg, grandfather of the New Thought movement, which was foundational to the New Age as well as propping up much of the pseudo-scientific healing practices today.
Another doctor is Dr. Daniel Amen who promotes and teaches an esoteric Hindu mediation technique and what is known in Hinduism as tantric sex.
A third doctor is Mark Hyman who works with Deepak Chopra and embraced a form of non-medicine called Functional Medicine based on spiritual beliefs and pseudo-science.
There is also Dr. Mercola, promoter of New Age practices and his own supplements, follower of conspiracy theories, and slavish fan of a spirit that comes via a psychic-channeler.
The last one is Dr. Andrew Weil, a New Age enthusiast of psychotropic plants.
These doctors are New Agers or embrace and promote New Age concepts. There are many more, not to mention the non-medical practitioners such as chiropractors, the naturopaths, and “natural healers” who are rooted in New Age thinking. Continue reading
“Media coverage of Trump’s National Guard call-out has all but ignored these incidents; they have become an unremarkable part of America’s urban fabric that now includes flash mobs, vicious and gratuitous pedestrian assaults, and mass looting.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) The late Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York was a radical liberal with an independent streak.
Before being elected senator in 1976 (he also served as UN ambassador), Moynihan worked as a special assistant to Labor Secretaries Arthur J. Goldberg and W. Willard Wirtz in 1961-62, where he wrote a revolutionary report on federal architecture. Continue reading
“Newsom is hoping other Democrat-run states will follow. But many, like Illinois, have already gerrymandered their congressional maps to hurt Republicans, and so there are not many Republican seats left to seize.”
(Joel B. Pollak – Breitbart) California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced Thursday that he is calling a special election November 4 to tear up the state’s congressional map in favor of a gerrymandered map to eliminate Republican seats.
Newsom claims that by doing so, he is saving democracy. Continue reading
