Our “fear of liberalism” actually stems from our fear of the Lord—if we did not fear the Lord, we would become progressive.
(The Dissenter) Jesus is conservative, period. And anyone who attempts to make the case otherwise does not know Him or understand His word. To clarify, I am not saying that Jesus is a Republican, but Jesus is conservative—he is the absolute standard of conservatism. Continue reading
Syncretism stew
“What this event makes clear is that God rejects worship of him in improper forms. He has the right to tell his people how he wants to be worshiped, and his people must follow those instructions to the letter. This event is also an illustration of a problem that will plague Hebrew worship for a long time—syncretism. They mixed true worship with false.”
(Scott Anoil) In the Old Testament Law, God gave his people very specific instructions about how they were to relate to the people around them, including in their culture and worship practices.
Deuteronomy 12:2–8 reveals important principles in this regard. God commanded that the people destroy the places where pagans worshiped, including their altars, their pillars, their images, and even the names of the places…. Continue reading
“Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;” Psalm 103:3.
Humbling as is the statement, yet the fact is certain, that we are all more or less suffering under the disease of sin. What a comfort to know that we have a great Physician who is both able and willing to heal us! Let us think of Him awhile to-night. His cures are very speedy—there is life in a look at Him; His cures are radical—He strikes at the center of the disease; and hence, His cures are sure and certain…. Continue reading
“Collins is attempting to hijack the pro-life movement to include both anti-gun sentiments as well as pro-transexual sentiments.”
(The Dissenter) Revoice is a conference that promotes “gay Christianity” and has actually advocated for homosexual Christian relationships and for, of course, calls for an end to the “victimization” of homosexuals, to which they coined the term “sexual minorities.” Preston Sprinkle, one of the co-founders of Revoice, refers to sexually confused men who dress, think, and act like women, as “theologically conservative.”….

“The first AR-15s and other assault style firearms will start to be bought back by the end of this year. It’s going to be hard, but we’re going to get it done.”
(Paul Best – Fox News) Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday that his government is introducing legislation to “implement national freeze on handgun ownership” throughout the country.
“What this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada,” Trudeau said at a press conference. Continue reading
“The trial should have been of the FBI and Clinton apparatchiks in the FBI and DOJ for trying to overturn a presidency. No one believes the FBI didn’t know the truth. Sussmann should have gone on trial for conspiracy if anything, not for lying to people who knew what he was up to unless they are stupid, which we doubt.” — Mary Dowling, Independent Sentinel
(Spencer Brown – Townhall) A Washington, D.C., jury found Michael Sussmann not guilty on Tuesday morning of lying to the FBI in 2016 about working on behalf of Hillary Clinton when he presented debunked information that he claimed showed a connection between Donald Trump and Russia — a report made to the FBI that would set off years of Russian collusion hoax-fury that ultimately was found to be nothing by Robert Mueller’s independent investigation. Continue reading
“It seems likely the Democrats in the House may have enough votes to pass the package. A vote will reportedly be held next week on the litany of bills.”
(Wendell Husebo – Breitbart) Democrats are preparing a large gun control package to be considered in House Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
The package, dubbed, “Protecting Our Kids,” includes eight bills designed to erode citizens’ Second Amendment rights. Continue reading
“The Biden administration is expanding this to include demanding K – 12 schools do away with the separation of gender bathrooms. That is to say: any place that accepts federal money for the sake of food must go as far as enacting transgender-friendly policies within the workplace.
(Nick Monroe – The Post Millennial) The Biden administration through the USDA is set to enforce transgender-friendly bathroom policies through a scheme that ties funding for federal aid programs for student food via compliance of “equity” friendly systems. Continue reading
This is eerily reminiscent of what Steven Richards, who lived masquerading as a female for eight years starting when he was just 15, said about his former delusions. The “miserable world I escaped from,” he revealed, is one holding out the illusory promise that the next step in your “transition — a new name, a new set of pronouns, another year of hormones, another surgery,” will bring you the promised happiness. “But, as I learned,” he said, “it never can.”
(Selwyn Duke – The New American) Disney took it on the chin after getting political and opposing Florida’s parental-rights bill. Netflix recently told its employees that if they were offended by the company’s politically incorrect content, they could quit. But this hasn’t stopped Mattel from leaning heavily into the sexual devolutionary agenda and birthing a freaky first:
The toy maker has created the world’s first “transgender” Barbie doll. Continue reading
“Cursed be the man before the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho.”—Joshua 6:26.
Since he was cursed who rebuilt Jericho, I much more the man who labours to restore Popery among us. In our fathers’ days the gigantic walls of Popery fell by the power of their faith, the perseverance of their efforts, and the blast of their gospel trumpets; and now there are some who would rebuild that accursed system upon its old foundation….

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. – Hebrews 12:11
How happy are tried Christians, afterwards. No calm more deep than that which succeeds a storm. Who has not rejoiced in clear shinings after rain? Victorious banquets are for well-exercised soldiers. After killing the lion we eat the honey; after climbing the Hill Difficulty, we sit down in the arbour to rest; after traversing the Valley of Humiliation, after fighting with Apollyon, the shining one appears, with the healing branch from the tree of life…. Continue reading
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) A military strike that utilized quadcopter drones launched from inside Iran hit the top-secret Iranian military base at Parchin. It’s believed the strike targeted Iran’s drone research and development complex and not its missile or nuclear research facilities.
No nation has claimed responsibility for the attack, but both Iran and the U.S. say that it fits the pattern of past attacks by Israel. Continue reading
(Thomas D. Williams – Breitbart) Pope Francis told a Buddhist delegation from Mongolia Saturday that Jesus and Buddha shared a common commitment to peace and nonviolence.
“Jesus and the Buddha were peacemakers and promotors of nonviolence,” the pontiff told the delegation of Mongolian Buddhists during a private audience in the Vatican, while also urging an end to violence against the environment. Continue reading
“The team – the cabal – is reducing the middle class to poverty and deprivation willfully. The USA is in serious danger.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Biden’s team is obliterating the middle class in this country and it’s deliberate while his administration and the media lie to us about what is happening.
Inflation is running rampant. The Producer Price Index, the most useful measure of general inflation, is up a whopping 16.3% from April 2021, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, The NY Post reports. Continue reading
“These mandates must fall. One such effort is the proposed Texas COVID Vaccine Freedom Act. The proposal is based on the common law rule that informed consent does not exist when a patient is coerced or compelled to receive a medical procedure.”
(Rep. Brian Harrison & James R. Lawrence, III – Revolver) On May 5, citing the risk “of rare and potentially life-threatening blood clots,” FDA announced it was trimming back authorization of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine. For millions of Americans coerced by their employers into taking that particular shot against their will, the agency’s action is too little, too late. Continue reading
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) It’s impossible to say that I’m shocked by the latest bombshell courtesy of the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ).
According to a memo obtained by ACLJ via a FOIA lawsuit, several Obama administration officials held secret meetings with Iran during Trump’s presidency.
Former Obama Secretary of State John Kerry’s efforts to undermine Trump by negotiating with Iran as Trump was working towards pulling out of the nuclear deal have been known for years…. Continue reading
“Continue in the faith.”—Acts 14:22.
Perseverance is the badge of true saints. The Christian life is not a beginning only in the ways of God, but also a continuance in the same as long as life lasts. It is with a Christian as it was with the great Napoleon: he said, “Conquest has made me what I am, and conquest must maintain me.” So, under God, dear brother in the Lord, conquest has made you what you are, and conquest must sustain you. Your motto must be, “Excelsior.” He only is a true conqueror, and shall be crowned at the last, who continueth till war’s trumpet is blown no more…. Continue reading
Bancel called out the ugly Americans. “In the U.S., people don’t want vaccines. Around the world, we have a lot of people who don’t want the vaccine,” Bancel mourned, before reiterating that the problem was not a “capacity limit.”
(Athena Thorne – PJ Media) Our betters in the World Economic Forum (WEF) gathered in Davos this week to decide what’s best for the planet and everyone on it (especially themselves). But Stéphane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, was sad. He was disappointed that the plebs don’t want his company’s revered COVID-19 vaccines. Continue reading
“So what is Archbishop Cordileone supposed to do in the face of abortion zealotry? Nothing? Many Catholic clerics are afraid to advocate on behalf of the unborn. They know they will be attacked in vile ways if they do. They understand the media will viciously demonize them.”
(Bill O’Reilly) The most powerful cleric in Northern California is a marked man. Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone is not backing down from denying Nancy Pelosi the Catholic sacrament of Holy Communion. And not only that, the Archbishop has publicly said that Mrs. Pelosi is in danger of “losing her soul,” which is what eternal damnation is. Continue reading
Duncan–“and others who have embraced this kind of ideology—should certainly be placed in the ‘not recommended’ category, at the very least.”
(The Dissenter) Recently, John MacArthur’s church held a discernment conference called the Truth Matters conference. We recommend watching every video presentation available from that conference. However, one particular presentation of interest was Justin Peter’s warning against a prominent social justice warrior, Ligon Duncan. Continue reading
“Critics railed against Obama for suggesting a comparison between Tuesday’s massacre and the police brutality Floyd faced.”
(Joseph A. Wulfsohn – Fox News) Former President Barack Obama raised eyebrows on Wednesday for attempting to link this week’s mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, to the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder.
Nineteen children and two teachers of Robb Elementary School were murdered by an 18-year-old gunman, who was killed during a gunfire exchange with authorities. Tuesday’s tragedy is now among the worst mass shootings in U.S. history. Continue reading
“It is looking increasingly likely that the only cure for these high prices would be a recession, a devastating cure.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Residential electricity rates have been surging for months and are poised to climb even higher this summer on a combination of tight supplies of natural gas and coal [thanks to Biden], an unrelenting drought in the Western US, and a nationwide forecast for extreme heat, according to Bloomberg. Continue reading
“The common denominator to these Biden appointees is ideological rigidity, nonchalance, and sheer incompetence.”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) As the nation sinks inexplicably into self-created crisis after crisis, debate rages whether Joe Biden is incompetent, mean-spirited, or an ideologue who feels the country’s mess is his success.
A second national discussion revolves around who actually is overseeing the current national catastrophe, given Joe Biden’s frequent bewilderment and cognitive challenges. Continue reading
“Brilliant businessmen and ambitious politicians, striving bureaucrats and myopic experts — will cure the world of its ills, so long as we grant them power. Or, more likely, so long as they seize power in the name of “stakeholders” to whom they are never answerable.”
(Ben Shapiro – PJ Media) Klaus Schwab is the head of the World Economic Forum; he founded the organization in 1971. Each year, the WEF hosts a massive conference in Davos, Switzerland, with thousands of world leaders, diplomats and experts on various topics gathering to trade ideas about how best to cooperatively run the world….

51 “Have you understood all these things?” They *said to Him, “Yes.” 52 And Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old.” (Matthew 13:51-52 NASB)
Charles Spurgeon spent the last several years of his ministry contending with “liberalizing” efforts within the Evangelical churches in England in what came to be known as the “Great Downgrade Controversy.” That “downgrade” gained momentum not only in England, but here in the United States and around the world….
