(Philippians 3:8-11 translated from the NA28 Greek text)
Speaking from experience, which I am sure most of you can relate to very much, one the most frustrating things for me to bear is to have to be subjected to a teaching or information or even something shared about a situation or another person that I know to be false beyond any doubt and yet those expounding what is not true either will not listen to the truth or are beyond the reach of my revealing the truth to them….

“Why indeed would Brinton have wanted to steal women’s luggage in the first place? That question gets to the heart of the problem: the very thing for which the Biden regime celebrated Brinton appears to be exactly the same thing that led him to commit acts that have gotten him charged with felony theft.”
“And these are all the people who are headed to Asbury University next week to conduct a huge false prophet festival.”
“The Chosen portrays the Good Samaritan as a true story, as opposed to a parable, and uses this premise to leverage an emotional payoff. But the premise of the Good Samaritan parable actually happening and meeting a villain of that story distracts from the emotional sensation that the show was going for. Instead of feeling powerful, it feels cheap.”
“Bethel Church has done something that even at its worst, it has never done before. They are now baptizing openly professing homosexuals to the applause of the entire congregation.”

“One of his concerns is how to shape the necessary policies to ensure new technologies serve humankind. [Who elected this guy?] His other concern is change goes so fast; how can we make sure each citizen can deal with the change he doesn’t understand? He thinks government also has a big role in this.

(Protestia) Damar Hamlin has issued a public apology for wearing a jacket with images of a crucified Jesus to the Superbowl, explaining that “after talking with my parents I understand how my coat could have offended some people” and that “it was never my intentions to hurt or disrespect anyone.” Hamlin went on to explain that his “beliefs and relationship with God is not tied to symbolic images” and that he just considered it “abstract art.
(Rob Golding – Fight of Faith) Penal substitutionary atonement is difficult to understand, in part because we fail to conceive of the parties involved properly. Matters are complicated when the likes of N.T. Wright hyperbolically refer to “justification” in the traditional sense as a mysterious “gas” that passes through the courtroom.

“In 2020, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar issued a new notice of declaration under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act to provide immunity for activities related to ‘countermeasures’ against Marburg virus and/or Marburg Disease.

“Given the secrecy and lack of rigorous standards that characterize youth gender transition across the country, I believe that to ensure the safety of American children, we need a moratorium on the hormonal and surgical treatment of young people with gender dysphoria.”
“Bentley once claimed he healed seven deaf people in one night and also claims to raise people from the dead. On one occasion, after claiming to raise someone from the dead in a hospital, Chris Rosebrough called the hospital only to say that there was no record of what Bentley claimed.”
