(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) Middle-school librarians now think homosexual pornography is appropriate reading material for 11-year-old students.
Eleven-year-old sixth grader Knox Zijac got up at a school board meeting to read a page from the book Nick and Charlie, which is about a homosexual couple having sex. This explicit book was a featured novel on a display stand in his middle school library, according to Knox…. Continue reading
“Artificial sweeteners are implicated in numerous other undesirable health outcomes such as bladder cancer and brain tumors.”
(Ben Bartee – PJ Media) An artificial sweetener called erythritol commonly used in processed foods is linked to heart attacks and strokes in a new study.
Via Nature:
Artificial sweeteners are widely used sugar substitutes, but little is known about their long-term effects on cardiometabolic disease risks…. Continue reading

“As with nearly all celebrity Christian luminaries, there comes a time when the message they deliver has become so devoid of any convicting biblical substance that nearly anyone, whether they profess Christ or not, will be lured in by their seductive charisma. Their following essentially becomes a cult of personality, and their notoriety gains them indiscriminate immunity from nearly all criticism.”
(The Dissenter) You’ve probably heard of the recently released Jesus Revolution movie that’s based on Greg Laurie’s book by the same name. The movie is being promoted by several high-profile Evangelicals including former Southern Baptist president, James Merritt and former U.S. Vice President, Mike Pence. Continue reading
1 Then the word of Yahweh came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy from their own heart, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh! 3 Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Woe to the wickedly foolish prophets who are walking after their own spirit and have seen nothing. 4 O Israel, your prophets have been like foxes among waste places. 5 You have not gone up into the breaches, nor did you build the wall around the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of Yahweh. Ezekiel 13:1-7 (LSB) Read verses 6-7 on the site.
A false prophet is one who claims to teach the truth from God and His Word, but who actually teaches from the counsel of his or her own heart. God is forever unchanging. He is immutable. His ways never change. His standards never change…. Continue reading
“One Christian group, The Pulse*, wanting to capitalize on the spirit of Asbury, rented out Rupp Arena on Sunday, advertising a revival from 2 pm-11 pm to have a time of “repentance, testimonies, scripture, and worship” that was not in any way officially associated with the university.”
(Protestia) For twelve days, tens of thousands of revival chasers from around the world descended on the small city of Wilmore, KY, to experience firsthand the so-called ‘Asbury Revival.’ Supporters called this the next big thing, claiming it would sweep across America like other historical revivals and set the world on fire as they scrambled to occupy the now iconic Hughes Auditorium.

“We crazy right-wing nutjobs keep getting proven to have been correct about, well, everything, when it comes to COVID.” – Stephen Kruiser
(Fox News) New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R) said on ‘Fox & Friends First’ Monday the American people want the truth about the origins of COVID after hearing repeated lies and “misinformation” from Dr. Anthony Fauci and officials. Van Drew, a former Democrat, said American taxpayer money was used to fund the research at a China lab where the virus is suspected to have leaked. Continue reading
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Gospel Coalition has the second season of their so-called “Good Faith Debates” which have largely been characterized as lacking a clear conservative representation, as a good faith debate would necessitate a real debate. And while the public school debate presents an easy opportunity to voice that position, Jen Wilkin’s defense of public schooling your children goes above and beyond what is normally said. She believes that Christians have a moral obligation to utilize public schools if at all possible. Continue reading
“When you start to grasp the big picture, and see the big money, behind these movements and see how they’re all interconnected, one then has to ask: are these really movements of the Holy Spirit?”
(The Dissenter) “When it walks like a duck…” Well, you know the rest. You’re probably aware of the He Gets Us Jesus propaganda campaign that has been pushed heavily by Ed Stetzer and other moderate-left Evangelicals. He Gets Us is essentially a public relations campaign for Jesus making him out to be a big-time social justice warrior who identifies with all of the leftist social causes as a way to make him attractive to leftists. Continue reading
12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:12-13 (LSB)
God is Sovereign. He has not surrendered any of His sovereignty to any of His creatures, and that includes Man. My Pastor has been preaching through the story of Joseph from the Book of Genesis for the last several weeks. It is obvious to all that God was in complete control of all of those things that happened to Joseph that culminated in his becoming Prime Minister of Egypt during one of the worst famines to ever hit that area…. Continue reading
6 That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”John 3:6-8 (LSB)
I grew up as a Southern Baptist. Much of the memories from my childhood have something to do with being at church each and every Sunday morning and evening. One thing I remember was an annual event in our church called a ‘Revival.’ The Pastor and his staff would plan it for a certain date, put that date in every church bulletin leading up to it, put signs up in front of the church advertising it, and make announcement after announcement from the pulpit to remember the upcoming ‘Revival.’… Continue reading
“…it is surely now time that the flagship evangelical organizations speak out too, using their broad appeal and status to have a real impact on the debate. It would be wonderful if Christianity Today were to run a series of detransition narratives, or Wheaton College host a conference on the damage that trans ideology is doing to children and to families. Such things would help confused parents and pastors.”
(Carl Trueman – World) It is a well-established trope today that evangelical Christians were on the wrong side of cultural debates in the past and that present generations must therefore do public penance, whether the issue is racism or sexism or whatever. That raises the question of what issues the evangelical establishment might be misjudging today that will lead to future disdain towards this generation of evangelical leadership. Here is my suggestion: the issue of transgender ideology. Continue reading
“If it was about acceptance and not innate wiring, why is it that only Gen Z and Millennials have seen a rise in LGBTQ+ identification? All the other generations have remained steady percentage wise. Why this sudden jump overall?”
(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) Last Friday, Gallup published an article on a poll it conducted regarding the percentage of the population that identifies as LGBTQ+. There were several interesting trends that it uncovered.
7.2% of the population now identifies as LGBTQ+. Gallup’s polling now includes the identifiers “queer,” “pansexual,” and “asexual,” which broadened the spectrum somewhat. Continue reading
If you’re a pious Muslim who prays the five requisite daily prayers of Islam, you will recite the Fatiha seventeen times in the course of those prayers. The final two verses of the Fatiha ask Allah: “Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom you have favored [Islam], not of those who have earned your anger, or of those who have gone astray.”
(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald, the Roman Catholic Church’s apostolic nuncio emeritus to Egypt and apostolic delegate emeritus to the Arab League, as well as a past president of the Pontifical Council for Irreligious, er, that is, Interreligious Dialogue, on Sunday represented Pope Francis at the first prayer service in St. Francis of Assisi Church in Abu Dhabi, which is part of the new Abrahamic Family House, an interfaith shrine that comprises not just a church, but also a synagogue and a mosque. What could possibly go wrong? Plenty. Continue reading
“I don’t want the public to see the world they live in while they’re in the park. I want them to feel they’re in another world.”
(Tiffany Layne) In the last entry, “Gay Rom-Coms: The Final Frontier?” we revealed Hollywood and the alphabet community’s delusions of grandeur in communities it professes to serve. Its own self-aggrandizement forever eclipses any possibility of consideration for the harm it inflicts. With this in mind, our children’s minds and futures are clearly but collateral damage in the wake of pursuing their own agendas. Continue reading
(Harris Rigby – Not the Bee) Chloe Cole is one of the most outspoken advocates for children and young adults who were preyed upon by the “kind and compassionate” “gender-affirmation” industry.
Cole has been advocating for detransitioners and now, in a historic first, Cole is suing the butchers who performed a “sex-change” operation on her as a minor.
Chloe Cole, a detransitioned 18-year-old woman, announced the first official lawsuit in the U.S. against the hospital and affiliated medical group that facilitated her medical transition as a minor. Continue reading
“We should praise God that many seeds were sown and that some, however few will grow and bear fruit. That’s how the gospel works. Yet despite what we can reasonably anticipate to be a low retention rate, we should still praise God for the way he just used a liberal seminary and try to disciple these students, because it doesn’t look like they will.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Asbury Revival concluded Thursday night after 16 days of continuous worship service at the university chapel. The chapel itself was packed with college age students or younger. The stream of the finale coincided with the Collegiate Day of Prayer, a jumpstart movement that seeks to capitalize on the 200th anniversary of the 2nd Great Awakening in America which they claim began on college campuses….

22 “The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:22-23 (LSB)
Since I began this blog and became involved with discernment ministries such as Christian Research Network, I have become aware of a disturbing phenomenon in the Church in America. Perhaps you have noticed it as well. The phenomenon I am writing about is willful ignorance in our spiritual leaders…. Continue reading
“God’s Word must be the final authority on all matters about which it speaks: not just the moral and spiritual matters, but also its teachings that bear on history, archeology, and science.”
(Terry Mortenson – Answers In Genesis) There is an intensifying controversy in the church all over the world regarding the age of the earth. For the first 18 centuries of church history, the almost universal belief of Christians was that God created the world in six literal days, roughly 4,000 years before Christ, and destroyed the world with a global Flood at the time of Noah. Continue reading
“Magic Kingdom closed the Splash Mountain ride because … well, no one is really sure why. The movie on which it is based is called “Song of the South,” and the film is referred to as “controversial” in articles about the ride closing, but it’s unclear what that controversy is.”
(Karol Markowicz – Fox News) I hold grudges against companies. We don’t wear Nike, because the company embraced America-hating former quarterback Colin Kaepernick, and for a family with two immigrant parents, blessed to be Americans, we cannot abide this. I stopped using Gillette products when their ad tore into boys and men as angry possible rapists…. Continue reading
What about the studies that initially persuaded policymakers to impose mask mandates? “They were convinced by nonrandomized studies, flawed observational studies.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The NY Times finally admitted that masks don’t work, and it doesn’t matter what kind of mask you wear. It won’t work. This is the conclusion reached by the definitive Cochrane study. It took the Times a month to say something about it, but they eventually had to do it. We had this information from other studies, but this one sealed the deal. Continue reading
“With the aberrant movements and leadership involved in this movement, is it any wonder why conservative Christians are so skeptical of this “revival”? Why should we believe that true revival is happening within a movement that has exchanged the gospel for social justice and promotes homosexuality? What you see here is exactly what you’re going to see in the Collegiate Day of Prayer movement.”
(The Dissenter) As we reported last week, the so-called “spontaneous revival” at Asbury University that has been going on since February 8 may not have been quite so spontaneous after all. In fact, as far back as last November, Francis Chan announced he would be hosting a “revival” meeting at Asbury University in February—and, today is that day. Continue reading
31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word, then you are truly My disciples; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” 33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s seed and have never yet been enslaved to anyone. How is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”John 8:31-33 (LSB)

Axios reported that Carlson’s team has 41,000 hours of raw footage—nearly three times the amount that the Justice Department allowed into evidence, which only covered the time period between noon and 8:00 p.m. on January 6. The tapes now in Carlson’s possession apparently covers the entire 24-hour period from “multiple camera angles from all over Capitol grounds.”
(Julie Kelly – American Greatness) Tucker Carlson now has the equivalent of nearly five years of surveillance footage captured by U.S. Capitol Police security cameras on January 6, 2021. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) turned over the tapes to the Fox News host earlier this month, according to Axios. Carlson’s producers and researchers are already distilling the footage; the first round of clips is expected to air [on Fox Nation] in a few weeks. Continue reading
“Her claim to Apostolic authority is deeply troubling. The Bible clearly teaches that the office of Apostle was reserved for the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus, and that no one can claim to be an apostle today. Heidi Baker’s claim to Apostolic authority is a clear sign that she is operating outside of the biblical parameters for church leadership. But that didn’t stop Copeland from telling her that God is giving her the United States.”
(The Dissenter) During a recent “prophetic” session at his church, false teacher, false prophet, charlatan, and arch-heretic Kenneth Copeland who is best known for his incessant blasphemies against God “prophesied over false prophet, Heidi Baker, telling her that God was giving her the United States. Continue reading
“Conversions in Alpha come differently from this. More often than not it is an emotional experience about the love of God but without any understanding of holiness or the need to be saved from our sins. There is no recognition of the need to repent and to turn to God as a matter of life and death. People feel forgiven but do not seem to have realized the depth of their sinfulness or repented of their sin. People feel cleansed without having consciously put their faith in Christ. Often this happens when people are in some ecstatic state. Alpha may regard this as conversion but it is not what we find in the Bible.”
(Chris Hand) Many people have been greatly impressed by the Alpha course [now Alpha]. Designed to be an introduction to the Christian faith through talks, video presentations, small-group discussions and a special weekend-away, lots of churches are now employing it as part of their outreach.
