“Their campaign was woke, focusing on how Jesus was a marginalized immigrant refugee who was bullied for his empathy.”
(Protestia) Last year an anonymous group of wealthy donors launched a 100 million dollar campaign for Jesus- the largest of its kind- with the “He Gets Us” thesis being plastered across TV and social media, aimed to attract cultural Christians and pagans to consider the man Jesus, and the way he relates to humankind.

“In May 2022, “The Sims 4” issued an update to the game that allowed players to select “they/them” pronouns for non-binary characters.”
(Jeffrey Clark – Fox News) A video game series that is marketed to children is coming under attack for its recent update allowing characters to have double mastectomy scars and chest binders.
“The Sims 4,” which calls itself “the ultimate life simulation game” on its website, announced Tuesday that it would allow players to give characters “top scars” that come from breast removal surgery. Continue reading

“The procedures themselves can lead to physical impairment, including a lack of bone strength and brain maturation, and the loss of fertility. Gender transitioning’ prior to maturation can lead to sexual dysfunction, including atrophy and necrosis of genital tissue, chronic pain, incontinence, and the inability to orgasm.”
(Breccan F. Thies – Breitbart) Medical advocacy group Do No Harm is launching a nationwide campaign to “educate policymakers and the public on the disastrous consequences of the unproven and often harmful practice known as ‘gender-affirming care.’” Continue reading
“During a ’60 Minutes’ interview in September, Biden said the COVID emergency was over. Biden’s people quickly pulled it back. There is a reason. The goal is a new normal with Marxist equity.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Now that The World Health Organization claims the pandemic is not over, Joe Biden has some sketchy support to continue moving the goalpost, and he has. Biden has a more important goal – to build a very different new normal.
As an aside, AFL sued the Biden administration and HHS for selling out US sovereignty over pandemic responses to the WHO. Continue reading
“None of this compromise is new. And while its great that Stanley’s longstanding compromise is getting the coverage it needs, aside from online discernment ministries, it’s not getting the coverage it deserves. Andy Stanley is a false teacher, and Christian news reporting needs to be clear on this.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Every now and then, it’s good to take stock in the victories of discernment ministries. Truth be told, we put Andy Stanley on blast for his views on homosexuality. Andy Stanley would be in a shortlist of most influential pastors in America. Truth be told, I attended a church heavily influenced by Stanley for a couple of years, and as a believer, I always felt that something wasn’t right…. Continue reading
“The latest fiction to come from the lips of these charlatans is that for whatever reason they could come up with, God “trusts” the desires of men.”
(The Dissenter) What you’re about to hear really shouldn’t sound all that crazy, particularly coming from a man who says Jesus barged in on him while he was laying naked in the bathtub and told him what his destiny was going to be. I mean, if you’re that close to God, then it follows that God will do anything for you—including placing his faith you. Continue reading
(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) A 48-year-old father and Catholic pro-life activist who was raided by the FBI and arrested for supposedly assaulting an abortion worker was cleared of federal charges of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act on Monday. While the FBI continues to ignore Joe Biden’s illicit hoarding of classified documents, it aggressively targeted Mark Houck. Fortunately, in this case, the feds did a big FACEplant. Continue reading
13 But go and learn what is the meaning of this; I desire mercy and not sacrifice, for I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Matthew 9:13 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)
Works righteousness is man’s default religion. The Jews mostly misunderstood the Old Testament sacrificial system. The point of the sacrifice was the taking away of sin and the pointing to the perfect sacrifice that would come in Christ, but most had turned it into a form of works righteousness. Continue reading
Usually theological liberals try to argue that there are two creation accounts, that days should be translated as eras, or some sort of God-guided Darwinian evolution. The Gospel Coalition instead argues that the entire seven-day framework is an analogy. They are not answering the question of seven days or seven eras, they are denying them entirely, writing them off as a “literary analogy.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Last month, The Gospel Coalition unveiled an incomplete commentary on the Bible, a work that they were fundraising to complete. Tim Keller, on of the founders of The Gospel Coalition is an avowed theistic evolutionist. We knew there would be problems with this commentary. Unsurprisingly, the problems begin on page one, or Genesis 1. Continue reading
“The statement, called the The First Baptist Statement on Biblical Sexuality available on the church’s website—which the church is now requiring every member to sign no later than March 19 for continued membership—reads…”
(The Dissenter) It’s not always that we get to report a positive movement within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). As of late, we’ve been reporting a lot on one Florida SBC megachurch that seems to continue to slide closer and closer to fully embracing homosexuality. That church is First Baptist Church Orlando which is pastored by David Uth. Continue reading
“Someday, when the dust settles and freely investigating and discussing the pathologies of the LGBTQ+++™ “community” is no longer off-limits in academia, sociologists are going to have a field day with the subculture.”
(Ben Bartee – PJ Media) The LGBTQ+++™ “community” appears to be terminally stricken with internal strife. First came the TERFs v. trans flame war, which centered around whether objective biological reality exists at all or “trans women are women” simply because they say so. It got ugly, and the Harry Potter lady (an avowed TERF) basically lost her career over it. Continue reading
“A second email on Hunter’s laptop shows that Hunter Biden had access to classified information and used it to the Biden family’s financial advantage.”
(Joe Hoft – The Gateway Pundit) The Biden crime family made millions in Ukraine performing nefarious and criminal activities including espionage.
TGP reported on Thursday that the Bidens were using classified information to the benefit of the Hunter Biden family business. Continue reading
7 But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; 8 for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:7-8 (NASB)
In the passage above (1 Timothy 4:7-8) the Apostle Paul used the Greek noun εὐσέβειαν (eusebeian) in v8, which is translated here as “godliness.” What is godliness? The noun eusebeian in this context is the accusative, singular, feminine case of εὐσέβεια (eusebeia), which describes the condition of devotion and piety toward God…. Continue reading
Dr. Singh…was also a key speaker at the 12th World Confluence of Humanity, Power, and Spirituality, which claims that its logo, “through its different representations, serves humanity by making them aware that the final aim for all human beings is the path to enlightenment.” Contrast that with the Westminster Catechism’s biblical argument that the chief end of man is to “glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” In an interview, Singh said, “in my mind, the significance of these [global spirituality] conferences is simply this, that we realize the essential unity of all religions.”
(Alex Newman – The New American) Weaponizing public schools for sinister purposes, an obscure United Nations institute is quietly working to transform education worldwide to impose radical political and spiritual values and beliefs on children. It is all happening under the guise of “social-emotional learning,” or SEL, a scheme hatched at a New Age organization whose founder and namesake was a follower of Lucifer Publishing Company chief Alice Bailey. Continue reading
“Pfizer did not deny Jordan Walker’s statements about possible future research. They did not deny that Walker was their employee. Pfizer didn’t address a single thing he said.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) We covered the Project Veritas story of the Pfizer executive, Jordan Trishton Walker and posted the video of a drunk Walker telling his prostitute date that Pfizer is considering using directed evolution, mutating the COVID virus to develop future vaccines. Pfizer has finally issued a statement of denial that doesn’t deny anything Mr. Walker said. Continue reading

(Protestia) Not only did Andy Stanley participate in a private, shocking Q&A where he offered some heretical hot takes on homosexuality, but for years one of his children’s ministries has been promoting and partnering with pro-LBGTQ+ organizations.
Debbie Causey is a long-tenured pastrix at North Point Community Church and the director of their Care network of ministries. Years ago, after her son came out as gay, she wrote the book The Big Reveal: Loving Your LGBTQ+ Child While Strengthening Your Faith, which details her experiences handling her son’s revelations….

Watch Maria Bartiromo interview Matt Taibbi.
“What makes this an important story is the sheer scale of the news footprint left by Hamilton 68’s digital McCarthyism. Hamilton 68 was used as a source to assert Russian influence in an astonishing array of news stories: support for Brett Kavanaugh or the Devin Nunes memo, the Parkland shooting, manipulation of black voters, ‘attacks’ on the Mueller investigation… These stories raised fears in the population, and most insidious of all, were used to smear people like Tulsi Gabbard as foreign ‘assets,’ and drum up sympathy for political causes like Joe Biden’s campaign by describing critics as Russian-aligned.”
(Joseph A. Wulfsohn – Fox News) The latest installment of the Twitter Files focused on the dubious source that the media and Democrats heavily relied on to peddle the false narrative of Russian bot activity on the platform. Continue reading
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be equipped, having been thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (LSB)
Over the years that this blog has been online I have received numerous negative comments from people that I have never allowed to be posted. Why? It is because those who made those comments either do not bother to follow the rules clearly posted, which are assiduously enforced, or they have failed to read them…. Continue reading
“The Holy Spirit does not take us beyond the teaching of the Apostles. He gives us light to accept and abide in the revelation He has given. It is for this reason that we’re to devote ourselves continually to the Apostles’ doctrine. It is also for this reason that serious Christians will learn from the history of doctrine: that dimension of church history is the locus of the Spirit’s work of illumination, telling us where the boundaries of orthodoxy have been historically.”
(R. Fowler White – Green Baggins) In Scripture, Christians are called to devote themselves both to truth and to love. But can we pursue one without sacrificing the other? To get to the bottom of this question, it helps us to reflect on John’s second letter. For our purposes here, we’ll understand the sender, the Elder, to be the Apostle John and the recipients, the elect lady and her children, to be a congregation and its members (as a whole and in its parts) or perhaps a mother church and the congregations born (planted) out of it.

“Earlier today, Andy Stanely and his PR team deleted the sermon from their website, after getting heat for saying gays have more faith than straight Christians and for criticizing so-called “clobber” verses.”
(Protestia) Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops. Luke 12:3
On Sept 19, 2019, Andy Stanley participated in a private dinner with several pastors in Gilbert, Arizona. Stanley was in town for a conference and after it ended, local clergy joined him for a Q & A that was not live-streamed and was closed to the public. Continue reading
Language warning
“Four Trump supporters lost their lives. Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd shot and killed Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed female veteran, at 2:44 p.m.”
(Julie Kelly – American Greatness) One might be inclined to apply Hanlon’s razor—never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity—to the actions of law enforcement on January 6, 2021. One might even be inclined to replace “stupidity” with “incompetence” to explain why police behaved the way they did that afternoon. Continue reading
“Project Veritas on Wednesday night released explosive video of Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer Director of Research and Development, Strategic Operations, admitting the pharma giant is exploring ‘mutating’ Covid-19 via ‘directed evolution’ so the company can continue to profit off of vaccines.”
(Cristina Laila – Gateway Pundit) Senator Ron Johnson on Thursday called for Congress to investigate vaccine manufacturers and the Covid vax approval process in response to Project Veritas’ explosive undercover video exposing Pfizer’s alleged plans to ‘mutate’ the Covid virus. Continue reading
12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 (NASB)
“We affirm that the text of Scripture is to be interpreted by grammatico-historical exegesis, taking account of its literary forms and devices, and that Scripture is to interpret Scripture. We deny the legitimacy and any treatment of the text or quest for sources lying behind it that leads to relativizing, dehistoricizing, or discounting its teaching, or rejecting its claims to authorship.” – Article XVIII of The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy October 1978 Continue reading
“America has completely embraced a revolutionary sexual ethic that far surpasses even the worst descriptions of sexual anarchy in the Bible. Yet, every time I think humanity couldn’t sink any deeper into the muck and mire of its own depravity, I’m reminded that godlessness has no bottom.”
(The Dissenter) Preston Sprinkle, one of the founders of Revoice, the “gay Christian” movement within Evangelical churches, has been instrumental in shifting the church’s doctrinal stance on homosexuality and other aberrant sexualities. It is through Sprinkle’s extensive relationships with mainstream Evangelicals such as James Merritt, Matt Chandler, and even names like Beth Moore, that he has been able to popularize what was once denounced as forbidden fruit by Evangelicals.
