29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. (Ephesians 4:29-32 ESV)
Steel is made through the smelting of iron ore. Iron becomes steel as carbon is added while the iron is very hot. What makes steel much harder than iron was not really understood by the ancients who created it. All they knew was that at a certain point in the shaping of a sword they would lay the red-hot blade into the coals for a few minutes then resume the process of hammering, cooling in water, re-heating, hammering, cooling in water, et cetera….

“It’s like it’s soul level. It’s being level consciousness. And somehow, when you’re in that vulnerable state, human beings are open to reality in a way that we are fully guarded against when we’re in our ego-conscious moments.”
(Dennis Prager – Townhall) The primary concern of the people who ran the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) — the bank that just went bust — was not banking. Nor was it making money for the bank’s shareholders or safeguarding the funds of its depositors.

“We’ve had a very good two weeks. We are finally having people cooperate with us. I think we all know the Biden administration is stone-walling. Janet Yellen is stonewalling, not turning over the bank violations.”
(Protestia) Last year, Tim Keller gave an update on his ongoing health crisis, and it was encouraging, but not without its challenges. Keller was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June 2020 and thankfully was taking positive steps towards recovery, writing in November of 2020 that his recent CAT scans show continued improvement and the physician is “surprised” and “delighted” with the headway he is having as he burns through rounds of chemotherapy, calling his progress “incredible.”
“…putting women in the pulpit is a gross violation of a clearly laid out command in multiple places in Scripture and to argue that women can be pastors is just as rebellious as arguing that homosexuals can be Christians.”
“So why would James River Church extend an invitation to Johnson and Clark? It seems inconceivable that the leaders at James River Church would be unaware of the controversial status of Johnson and Clark, their NAR teachings, and the AG’s differing doctrinal stance and protective measures over the AG’s beliefs and practices.”
“Many attacks you faced did not come from without but from those appearing to wear similar armor as yours. These surprise attacks caught you off guard more than once, and the injuries were significant. It took time for the bones and bruises to mend. It even reopened some older wounds and knocked you off balance as you lost your footing. Your feet seemed unable to move forward, but suddenly they were equipped and prepared for the work, and you put one foot in front of the other.”
(Catherine Selgado – PJ Media) Previously censored videos of Jan. 6, 2021, are now circulating online and sparking controversy and shock. The videos show people who appear to be Antifa disguising themselves as Trump supporters, and Trump supporters stopping Antifa vandalism. Another video shows a man who said he witnessed Antifa disguising themselves and saying they wanted to make Trump supporters look bad. The eyewitness further insisted the Jan. 6 protesters committing vandalism were not Trump supporters.
The other tendency of Robertson is to interpret his post-enlightenment understandings as superior to that which came before, even describing Paul as having an antiquated “patriarchal worldview.”
Conveniently, they can hide anything under the category “classified,” even exculpatory evidence. A shocking, exculpatory revelation is now called a “snafu.”
In a sermon, Mackie again mentions the “Catholic priest Father Thomas Keating, who I’ve learned a lot about prayer from…”
“As high profile as are those “professional Christians,” and given the relatively large platform with which they are blessed, we can be almost certain that if they were speaking the truth on religious liberty, the evil LGBT agenda, and the like, the godless press in America would take note. “Truth makes the Devil blush…If you make the Devil blush, he’s most likely going to come after you, and one of his favorite tools is the American media.”
Watch John MacArthur’s response to Keller and Stanley’s cultural Christianity.
Gen. Jack Keane: “Victory over Taiwan would give Beijing control of South China Sea, greater dominance on world stage”
“The evidence presented by Wilkie allegedly suggests that Hillsong Church has paid American televangelists, such as Joyce Meyer and T.D. Jakes, tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars in honorariums for their engagements with the church.”
“Any scientist who studies personality would simply look at the reliability scores and conclude the test is not accurate enough to be helpful, and therefore, they wouldn’t use it because the potential for harm will be too high.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) First lady Jill Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday hosted
(Protestia) Thousands of attendees descending on John MacArthur’s annual Shepherds Conference, March 8-10, were disappointed to discover that the beloved pastor would not be preaching his scheduled sermon that day, and that he may not make an appearance altogether. Grace Community Church elder Tom Patton announced that not only was MacArthur, 83, still recovering from
