Bombshell transcripts: Trump urged use of troops to protect Capitol on Jan. 6 , but was rebuffed

“But other transcripts gathered by Loudermilk during his subcommittee’s ongoing probe of Jan. 6 security failures show civilian leadership at the Pentagon admittedly openly they would not comply with Trump’s wishes, with some saying they did not like the optics of armed soldiers or Guardsmen roaming the Capitol with weapons during what was supposed to be a peaceful transition of power.”

(John Solomon – Just the News) Then-President Donald Trump gave clear instructions to Pentagon brass days before the Jan. 6 riots to “do whatever it takes” to keep the U.S. Capitol safe, including deploying National Guard or active-duty troops, but top officials did not comply because of political concerns, according to transcripts of bombshell interviews conducted by the Defense Department’s chief watchdog that shine new light on government disfunction ahead of the historic tragedy.

Convenient Christianity is not genuine Christianity

16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Wait, and let me tell you what Yahweh spoke to me last night.” And he said to him, “Speak!” 17 And Samuel said, “Is it not true, though you were little in your own eyes, you were made the head of the tribes of Israel? And Yahweh anointed you king over Israel, 18 and Yahweh sent you on a mission and said, ‘Go and devote to destruction the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’ 19 Why then did you not obey the voice of Yahweh, but rushed upon the spoil and did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh?” 20 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I did obey the voice of Yahweh and went on the way on which Yahweh sent me and have brought back Agag the king of Amalek and have devoted the Amalekites to destruction. 1 Samuel 15:16-20 (LSB) 

The Reformers and Puritans would not recognize as genuine most of what we call Christianity today. Of course one of the main thrusts of the Protestant Reformation was to make the Word of God accessible to all people. Why?… Continue reading

Duped Women Voters

“Any GOP candidate who can clearly articulate why Liberty and free enterprise are winning goals for women and their families will attract enough voters, male and female, to defeat the Left’s socialist propaganda machine. A majority of women are NOT the emotionally incontinent idiots Democrats believe they are.”

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) It’s no secret that women lean more to the left politically than men. Most have been told their entire lives that they can do and be anything while simultaneously being informed that they are put upon by men; that they are victims of “the patriarchy” and male underestimation.

A Pastor’s Thoughts On Steve Lawson

(Pastor Don Green) My thoughts on Steve Lawson.

To the best of my memory, I have never spoken with Steve Lawson nor had my picture taken with him. I very rarely was in an audience when he was the speaker. It has been several years, even, since I consulted any of his work in the course of my ministry.

So yesterday’s news about his dismissal from Trinity Bible Church of Dallas due to “an inappropriate relationship” with a woman did not hit me personally in the way that it did many of you.

I briefly debated whether to make this post, but since I think it may help the people of God process the news, I now proceed.

The primary question for which I want to give some perspective is: “How does a prominent Bible teacher DO that? How could he preach the Word, by outward appearances with power, in the midst of such sin and compromise?”

It is a difficult question and one that is not easy to answer to the satisfaction of those who feel betrayed and hurt.

Without much expansion, let me offer you five principles to consider. Continue reading

Why They Always Lie

“If you believed the lies and voted or cheated for Biden/Harris, you might be thinking that you are a basically good person who supports decency and fairness. Now, more than ever before, it’s perfectly clear that there is nothing decent or fair about Marxist Social Justice, Critical Race Theory, the Carbon Climate Hoax, etc.”

(Gene Van Shaar) The book of Genesis gives an account of what led up to the great flood as follows:

Genesis 6:5,13 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually…And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” Continue reading

Ryan Routh Admits to ‘Assassination Attempt’ in Purported Letter Released by DOJ, Tells Unknown Subject ‘I Failed You’

(AWR Hawkins – Breitbart) Fifty-eight-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged would-be assassination in Palm Beach on September 14, 2024, allegedly left a note with a friend making clear his intent to kill former President Donald Trump.

Forbes reported the handwritten missive is also allegedly an admission that his attempt to do so had failed.

The note said, “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you…I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster.” Continue reading

Who Are the Poor in Spirit?

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3 (LSB) 

One the most disturbing aspects of the churches who practice Christianity “lite” is the near total abandonment of a call to personal holiness. Even more discouraging is the fact that they preach a version of the gospel that has had any mention of repentance severed from it. The reasoning behind this, of course, is that they are building bridges to the unchurched. If they preach the whole gospel they will drive away those they are attempting to draw to join their churches…. Continue reading

A Communist’s Guide to Marxism in Higher Education: The Redtape Letters

(Owen Anderson – Clear Truth Media) It is a widely known secret that many secular university professors actively work to deconstruct the faith of young Christian students.  Sometimes they do this by directly assaulting the truths of the Christian religion.  They deny the existence of God and replace him with the materialistic dialectic.  They deny humanity’s need for redemption and replace Christ with the State.  And they mock Christian morality and replace it with “do what thou wilt is the whole of the law.”

However, more often than not, the attack is covert. It comes from the shadows.  Just as a viper carefully waits for a time to strike, such professors play the long game to undermine the Christian faith…. Continue reading

Are there too many conferences?

“An additional danger is that the speakers who ‘go on the circuit’ are also vulnerable, maybe even more so than the layman. Constant time apart from church home, family, too many temptations on the road and less accountability from people who know him or her can lead to devastating consequences for the Speaker. And wouldn’t satan just gloat when that happens?”

(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) I wrote this 6 years ago. My concerns have not diminished since that time. In fact, I added one more at the end.

Christians today have many opportunities to attend any conference of one’s choosing. Might I say a plethora of choices? Continue reading

Dis. Grace.: Responding Biblically to Church Scandal

“Scandals among Christian leaders are heartbreaking, disappointing, embarrassing. But the God who sent His only Son to the cross to turn sinners into saints has a wonderful way of taking offenses and turning them into opportunities for His kingdom.”

(Michelle Lesley) In light of the recent news about Steve Lawson, I thought it might be helpful to re-run this article. I will be removing Dr. Lawson from my list of recommended Bible teachers forthwith. No, this is not a rumor. No, nothing has been hacked. Yes, this has been confirmed by (and was announced by) his own church. Sadly, it is true.

Exasperated Oprah Interrupts to Answer Border Question for Vapid VP

“Here’s what he got and here’s what I think was going through Oprah’s head over the next interminable three minutes (the quotes from Kamala are real)…”

(John Nolte – Breitbart) An exasperated Oprah Winfrey was forced to interrupt Kamala Harris to answer a border question for the vapid VP.

Winfrey held a two-hour Unite for America livestream for Kamala Thursday night, a star-studded event that wasn’t really star-studded. Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, and Jennifer Lopez, and others weren’t actually in the room. They were watching through their computers like everyone else. After 15 minutes they were probably playing solitaire. Continue reading

Whistleblower Claims Five Assassin Teams Hunting Trump

Gaetz explained, “I had a senior official from the Department of Homeland Security in my office before the second assassination attempt, saying that what he has assessed is that there are five known assassination teams in the United States, three inspired by other governments, two that are here, that are known domestic assassination teams.”

(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) A new federal whistleblower has reportedly accused the government of knowing about five assassination teams out to get Donald Trump, even before the second assassination attempt took place. Continue reading

Steve Lawson Ministry Issues Statement: ‘(His sin) disqualified him from ministry…he regrets the damage he has caused’

(Protestia) Steve Lawson’s OnePassion Ministry has released a statement about his recent implosion and revelation of an inappropriate relationship with a woman, filling in some of the gaps from the church’s own statement about his actions and what the consequences will be.

OnePassion Ministries, which Lawson founded, exists to “ignite a supreme passion for God and His glory in all people throughout the world” and to “equip and energize a new generation of Bible expositors.” Continue reading

Breaking: Steven Lawson Removed as Pastor from Trinity Due to ‘Inappropriate Relationship’ With Woman

“Screenshots from the email released on social media indicate that Lawson informed elders at the church that he engaged in an “inappropriate relationship” with a woman. The church’s website has removed Lawson from the leadership page.” Protestia

(The Dissenter) Trinity Bible Church of Dallas has announced the removal of lead pastor Steven J. Lawson from all ministry responsibilities following revelations of an inappropriate relationship with an unnamed woman. Lawson, known for his expository preaching and as the founder of OnePassion Ministries, has been a regular speaker at major Christian conferences, including Shepherd’s Conference and G3, and has served as a teaching fellow at Ligonier Ministries.

‘Am I Racist?’ Exposes the Cult of Anti-Racism

“For evangelical Christians, Am I Racist? should serve as a reminder that our institutions have been directly targeted and impacted by anti-racist dogma. Hundreds of pieces could be written (and have been) on the infiltration and proliferation of exactly what Matt Walsh is lampooning in his film. Many of our own leaders and figures have jumped headfirst into anti-racism, promoting our own, specially curated anti-racist representatives, perhaps most well-capsulated by Jemar Tisby.” 

(David Harris – TruthScript) Several weeks ago at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, social media buzzed with warnings about a satchel-carrying, tight-jeans-wearing, man-bun sporting attendee meandering around the convention floor. “Don’t talk to this man!” read one social media post…. Continue reading

It’s Not Just Haitians In Springfield. Mass Immigration Is Destroying The American Nation

“…the Christian religion that bequeathed us our civilization and formed us from the beginning is now disappearing from among us Americans. Without it, we might as well be a tax farm for the global elite, with insular ethnic and religious enclaves across America that sacrifice animals and practice vodou, or support Hamas and Hezbollah, and generally make no effort to become American. We will certainly not be a common people or a nation.”

(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) After the presidential debate last Tuesday night, J.D. Vance told CNN’s Kaitlin Collins the only reason the media is talking about places like Springfield, Ohio, is because the right turned the cats and geese thing into a meme. He reiterated the point in a hostile interview with Dana Bash on CNN over the weekend, saying these concerns about Haitian immigrants have been brought to him directly by his constituents — concerns the media totally ignored until he and Trump started talking about them. Continue reading

The Tragedy of the Modern Church is that She’s Indistinguishable from the World

“If you can’t tell where the world ends and the church begins, you’re not in a church anymore—you’re in a theater. You’re in a circus. You’re witnessing the great Evangelical masquerade, where everyone plays a part but no one seems to care that they’re all headed down the path of destruction.”

(The Dissenter) Talk into almost any modern Evangelical church today, and you might be forgiven for wondering whether you’ve mistakenly stumbled into a concert hall, a corporate team-building event, or maybe even the set of a reality TV show. The flashing lights, slick branding, and carefully choreographed “worship experiences” give off a whiff of marketing genius, but there’s something sinister lurking beneath the polished facade. Continue reading

By Grace Through Faith

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10 (LSB) 

What is it that causes God to justify believers? What is justification? I heard a definition a long time ago where the preacher said something like this, “Justification is what happens when we are born again, it is ‘Just as if I had never sinned.’”… Continue reading

If R.C. Sproul Could See the World Today, He’d Be Asking ‘What’s Wrong With You People?’

“We thought if we just stayed out of the fray, maybe the storm would pass over us. Well, newsflash: The storm is here, and it’s not passing over. Our pacifism—our desire to “get along”—has allowed these far-left radicals to charge full steam ahead into cultural dominance. They claim to want equality, but it’s a farce—they want control, and they’re getting it. And now, we’re paying the price for decades of silence. What’s wrong with you people?”

(The Dissenter) What’s wrong with you people? R.C. Sproul asked this stinging question with the kind of directness that our culture so desperately needs today. While Sproul’s question was rooted in a theological context, it has become an icon in Christian circles for wondering out loud: what in the world is going on? It is an apt expression for our broader society—a society that has lost its grip on reality, morality, and reason. So again, I ask: What’s wrong with you people? Continue reading

Ads in Four Swing States Criticize Kamala Harris for Supporting Teenage Gender Transitions

“Talk about weird, physically healthy boys and girls are having their genitals and sexual organs destroyed, and Kamala Harris and her Democratic allies in the Senate not only think that’s acceptable but are forcing taxpayers to pay for it.”

(Paul Bois – Breitbart) Attack ads airing in the swing states of Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have been criticizing Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris for her past support of taxpayer-funded transition of teenagers. Continue reading

But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well- being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed

13 Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted. 14 Just as many were appalled at you, My people, So His appearance was marred more than any man And His form more than the sons of men. 15 Thus He will sprinkle many nations, Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him; For what had not been told them they will see, And what they had not heard they will understand. Isaiah 52:13-15 (LSB) 

In his fine book Escape from Reason, Francis Schaeffer analyzed 20th Century philosophy, science, art, and popular culture to get to the “cause,” if you will, of the decline of reason, which was and is still shaping our society. Modern thought in our time, it seems, has been diverted from an eternal, heavenly focus to one that is entirely geared to the temporal…. Continue reading

Hillary Clinton Sets the Stage for a 3rd Assassination Attempt of DJT

First watch this video:

Republican Senators demand more resources for the U.S. Secret Service in the wake of a second assassination attempt on former President Trump, and call out the anti-Trump rhetoric by Democrats.

Now read Mary Dowling’s report:

Hillary Clinton did not post any statements condemning the Trump assassination attempt. Her first statement came in a hate-filled rant on Rachel Maddow’s show, where she called him a “danger to the world.” She directed the media to keep pressing that issue. Continue reading

An Imprecatory Prayer on Behalf of Donald Trump

Many Christians are coming to the end of their rope as you will see in this piece by Protestia’s staff that includes a prayer asking Almighty God to pronounce harsh judgment on the enemies of the cross. 

(Protestia) Evangelical Christianity has grown strangely distant from the practice of imprecatory prayer, which is as sad as it is understandable, given the softness of our age. From the soft-handed, limp-wristed pastor in preacher-sneakers to the armchair theologian at Starbucks pounding out Tim Keller tweets with a pumpkin spice latte mustache, to the glitter-faced worship gal writhing on stage to a Hillsong tune, few understand the deep, rich heritage of imprecation in David’s Psalms. But perhaps we should get back to that if only we could stomach it.

To imprecate means “to invoke a curse,” and believe it or not, the Bible is full of this. In fact, most of these imprecations – many in the form of imprecatory prayers and songs – come from the man who was “after God’s own heart,” King David (Psalm 7, 35, 55, 58, 59, 69. 109, 139). Considering his songs were inspired of the Holy Ghost, one would be hard-pressed to argue that there is no place for them in the life of a Christian. Continue reading

JD Vance’s MUST READ Message on Censorship and Political Violence

Following is J.D. Vance’s address on the 2nd attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump. He also deals with the reaction to Springfield Ohio events. He ends with his views on political censorship and the violence that will inevitably follow.

“Yesterday, Donald J. Trump nearly lost his life. An armed gunman waited for him in the bushes. He brought a GoPro camera to record it. A secret service agent spotted the barrel of a gun through a fence and shot at the gunman. The gunman fled. He was caught. And now we slowly learn about him and his motive.

“President Trump is my running mate, and my friend, but he is more importantly a father and grandfather to people who love him very much. I want him to have many more years with his family. (And selfishly, I’d like many more with my own.) Continue reading
