(Katherine Hamilton – Breitbart) The percentage of Americans who say patriotism, religious faith, family, and other traditional American values are “very important” is on the decline, a Wall Street Journal-NORC poll found.
Support for every traditional American value included in the poll has receded since 1998 besides “money,” which has grown in importance. The data also shows young people and Democrats tend not to highly rank traditional American values as much as older adults and Republicans. Continue reading
“Right away, I could tell that there was a real emotional connection that Dallas [Jenkins] had to the material. And the more that I got to know Dallas and the more that he talked rather secularly, frankly, about the show, referencing shows like The Wire and West Wing, that really intrigued me in terms of making me feel like, ‘Wow. Really, truly, this is a guy who has a vision, and this is a show that is an elevated show, and a show that isn’t trying to proselytize, and is something different than what’s been out there before.” 
“There is no such thing as a transgender man, as transgender is not a category of man. Nor is transgender a category of woman. Interestingly enough, many in conservative media accurately improved their reporting by stating that Audrey Hale was “a woman who identified as transgender.” Yet this consistency ought to be maintained.”
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 1 John 4:1-6 (LSB) Read verses 4-6 on the site.

MinistryWatch’s Warren Cole Smith’s comments on one or more stories in the week’s news.
“Other players have taken similar actions for their religious beliefs such as Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov and San Jose Sharks goalie James Reimer. After refusing to wear the Pride jersey, Provorov jerseys immediately sold out online.”
“Pickett’s description of a large library of compilation videos comes as federal prosecutors divulged in the case of one Jan. 6 defendant, William Pope, that there is police body-cam footage they don’t want to make public that shows D.C. Metropolitan Police officers — some in plain clothes — consorting with the protesters and even exhorting “Go! Go! Go!” as the protesters are trying to penetrate the Capitol.” 
Now, Collins…is arguing that the parents of this transgender person who committed this atrocity are equally culpable because they caused her to suffer a “devastating form of parental rejection.”
“The radicals shout down anyone who disagrees, and they will bully, harass, and cancel them if they can. They are the rainbow fascists.”
“It is possible to reject a movement as a whole while at the same time rejoice if, in fact, the gospel is truly given and genuine conversions take place. For instance, the recently released movie Jesus Revolution is about the Jesus Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. While I reject much about this movement as a whole, I am thankful for any true conversions that took place within it, and I’m sure there were many.”
“The group purports to seek revenge for what they term “trans genocide,” a conspiracy theory that claims that transgender people are systemically targeted with violence. However, an examination of FBI statistics by the Daily Wire shows no proof to corroborate this claim….”
(Protestia) That’s a weird headline.
“This isn’t just a Chinese bank, this is an American bank that was founded by Chinese Americans. After everything that we’ve been through with China, at this moment, only 15% of Americans trust China…the American people are rightly concerned. They deserve to have answers….”
(The Dissenter) If you need more proof that Andy Stanley is a false convert leading people [astray], look no further than his most recent sermon.
“In his second clip, Dr. Campbell explains what was not tested, what was known, and still, they went ahead with the vaccines.”
“How frustrating it is then to hear the role of the Holy Spirit reduced to providing the charismatic gifts of prophecy, tongues, and miraculous healings in the minds of many. The Holy Spirit fills us without the extravagance of outward wonders. After all, His goal is not to get our attention and become our focus, but to direct us to Jesus Christ in whom we find our salvation and our souls’ rest.”
“The use of music to manufacture “feelings of spirituality” is exactly why Hillsong and the whole contemporary worship music movement are so popular—take away the music, and you eliminate the “feelings of spirituality.”…The use of music to manufacture “revival” is what drove the events at Asbury—take away the music, and you eliminate the “revival.” Since when is a bunch of college kids swaying to music for multiple consecutive days revival?”
“As Francis Chan continues down this path of ecumenism, however, it’s surprising to see those, like David Platt, who once upon a time stood as a living monument to biblical fidelity and against false teachings suddenly slip into a path embracing everything from social justice to charismaticism, to, well, now even Francis Chan’s nonsense.”
