12 Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself as having laid hold of it yet, but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way; and if in anything you think differently, God will reveal that also to you. 16 However, let us keep walking in step with the same standard to which we have attained.

“This trillion-dollar tech titan exploits its unparalleled monopoly in the search engine domain to inflate liberal ideologies, stifle conservative voices, and most alarmingly, manipulate the malleable minds of our children.”

“The whistleblower disclosures indicated that the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) are in possession of an FD-1023 form describing an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.”
(The Dissenter) Throughout the history of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), few figures stand out as provocatively as Russell Moore, whose tenure blatantly showcased the insidious creep of progressive ideology into the nation’s largest non-Catholic denomination. His role in the SBC’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), particularly during the incendiary 2016 Presidential Election, was a revelation of the former Democrat staffer, Russell Moore’s personal progressive agenda in stark contradiction with the deeply ingrained conservatism of Southern Baptists.
“Warren is a liar, and his deceit should surprise no one.”
(Luis Cornelio and Tim Kilcullen – MRC) MRC Free Speech America, as part of its new Freedom of Information Act investigations, has learned how the Biden administration is weaponizing a government-funded anti-terrorism grant program in an effort to destroy conservatives, Christians and the Republican Party.
“As Christians, our primary allegiance is to God and His Word, regardless of how countercultural or unpopular that may be. The Scriptures are not mere optional extras or decorative embellishments to the Christian faith, but its vital heartbeat, the only means by which we know and love Christ.”
“Watch this brief video that explains how the “demoralization stage will leave Americans not believing reality (such as a man can be a woman) — and how successful the Soviets were at the time of this interview, which was roughly 1984. He then explains the next three steps. It’s the most important video you may ever watch.”
“All these implosions are not just shocking but surreal. Why are our government, corporations, and popular culture colluding in mass suicide — to the delight of our enemies like Communist China?”

“Once the LGBTQSIGH movement went all squeaky wheel, the Dodgers folded like a cheap suit. The organization not only reinstated the tribute to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, but they also apologized!”
“Daigle views the church as the villain in this story for demanding orthopraxis. She views the rebellious son as a victim who is rejected by the church for being a homosexual.”
“Thanks to a new stunning revelation, things are getting really interesting. In a recent eye-opening tweet by Tucker’s autobiographer, Chadwick Moore, he revealed that Tucker’s monologue for April 24th was written in response to Ray Epps’ 60 Minutes interview and delved deeper into the January 6th farce.”
(The Dissenter) Treading carefully not to seem as though we revel in the death of another human being—we don’t—we do feel as though enough time has passed to pour water on the fire surrounding the idolatry of a man who was ashamed of the gospel. Tim Keller was an influential pastor and author, but he was also a divisive figure who dramatically overstepped the bounds of traditional biblical teaching. His ministry, centered at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, was characterized by a troubling emphasis on social justice, a concept deeply entangled with contemporary political ideologies and far removed from the true Gospel message.
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Christianity holds to the view that prayer is of the leading of the Holy Spirit. Octavius Winslow put it in these words:
