Come to Me and I Will Give You Rest

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. 1 John 5:3 (LSB) 

Christians should view this life in the temporal as the preparation or training that will develop Christ’s character in them prior to them going home to be with Him forever. However, many false prophets lead their followers into just the opposite. To them, it is all about the here and now. Instead of viewing hardship and sickness as implements or tools in the hands God to shape and form His children, these are seen as things out of His control that we suffer because we don’t have enough faith….

How Fares Academia? Not So Well.

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) In America of yore, holding a college degree usually meant an ease of passage into the workforce and adulthood. That promise has long since fallen short. Some of the reasons are easy to point to such as bad ideological infiltration. Colleges and universities are the breeding ground for theories such as Critical Race Theory; Queer Marxism; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); and other ideas that have been a raging battle front in the culture wars. There are still plenty of students who don’t believe any of these ideologies, but these woke ideas in the minds and mouths of radical professors have a stifling effect on free speech.

The Importance of the Virgin Birth

“The virgin birth proves that Jesus was different from other human beings and that He did not have a sin nature since, according to the Bible, Mary was a virgin when she conceived and gave birth to Jesus…”

(The Dissenter) While heretics like Andy Stanley abound preaching that the virgin birth is not an important doctrine to the Christian faith, as we celebrate Christmas, it’s important to understand exactly why these people are wrong. Continue reading

Phil Vischer Goes Full Liberal: Clowns Al Mohler on David French’s Support of Homosexuality

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) It’s no secret that Phil Vischer has gone off the deep end on theological liberalism. This has been covered extensively in the past with his singing with Francis Collins and his tacit support of abortion  and  grooming. In addition to being known as “The Veggie Tales Guy,” Phil Vischer is a cohost of the Holy Post podcast, a liberal podcast with Skye Jethani. David French is a frequent guest, and his article defending the (Dis)Respect For Marriage Act was perhaps one of the least surprising takes resulting from the fallout…. Continue reading

Judicial Watch Releases Damning New Information on the Moderna Vaccine

“The point is that Moderna should have told us about the issue with the bone problems in the rats, and the FDA and CDC certainly should have told us. I believe that is called allowing people to make informed decisions about their bodies. And last I checked, that was a very important issue for many.’

(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) News has come out regarding the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, courtesy of Judicial Watch. The watchdog group announced yesterday that it had obtained records from a FOIA lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease.

Attaining The Resurrection

But even more so I consider all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom all things I suffered loss and I consider them dung, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having my own righteousness that is of the law, but the righteousness through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God based upon faith, 10 to know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings being conformed to his death, 11 that if somehow I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. (Philippians 3:8-11 translated from the NA28 Greek text)

Legalism is the default religion of most people. However, when God gave the Law to Moses to give to Israel, he did not do so as a means for sinners to earn the Kingdom of Heaven. The Law was given to Moses on the mountain after the people were redeemed from Egypt (Exodus 20:1-17)…. Continue reading

The World Health Organization, Johns Hopkins, and Bill Gates Just Conducted Another Pandemic Simulation — This Time The Virus Is Deadlier And Targets Children

“A pundit named Jeanne Meserve of GNN, a fictional news outlet, is seen in footage during the pandemic simulation announcing the high death toll, particularly among children, from a pandemic that would have been prevented if countries adopted pandemic operational drills and adhered to the WHO’s pandemic guidances.”

(Alicia Powe – Gateway Pundit) The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security partnered with the World Health Organization and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to conduct “Catastrophic Contagion,” an exercise to simulate a global pandemic that is deadlier than the coronovirus and especially dangerous for children.

Bill Gates was in attendance. Continue reading

School District President Resigns After Having High School Kids at ‘Naughty’ Christmas Party

“There are those who would argue that there was no harm and no foul since students are already sexualized by popular culture, social media, and the rest of the garbage that is making America a cesspool. And if that is the case, do we really need district administrators contributing to the problem? I shouldn’t even have to ask that question.”

(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) On one hand, I am grateful that I don’t have to worry about what might happen to my kids at school. On the other hand, I still worry about what might happen to my grandkids, who are still in school…. Continue reading

Our Parasitic Generation

“Despite different calibrations, various data reveal what is self-evident to the naked eye. The American middle class is shrinking, if not insidiously sliding into indebted peasantry. Westerners are regressing and by design, now deciding daily whether to top up the tank, turn up the heat, or buy beef.” 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) “Be assured young friend, that there is a great deal of ruin in a nation.” — Adam Smith

Are we sure that there is all that much ruin left in the United States?

We are $31 trillion in collective debt. The new normal is $1.5 trillion budget deficits. The military is politicized and short of recruits. We trade lethal terrorists for woke celebrity athletes as if to confirm our enemies’ cynical stereotypes. Continue reading

Mickey Mouse: The Poster Boy for Joseph Prince’s Prosperity Gospel

“Don’t be fooled by Prince’s smooth talk and flashy suits – behind the façade of spiritual authority, he is nothing more than a greedy con artist. He preys on the vulnerable and the desperate, promising them wealth and prosperity in exchange for their hard-earned money. And he doesn’t hesitate to twist the Scriptures to suit his own twisted agenda.”

(The Dissenter) If you’re looking for a religious charlatan who preaches a gospel of greed and self-indulgence, look no further than Joseph Prince. This so-called “teacher” is nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing, peddling his false doctrine to the unsuspecting masses. Continue reading

About the Non-Binary Drag Queen Biden Invited to the White House…

“Cummings, a Drag Queen Story Hour performer, once performed in full drag dancing in a skimpy outfit and singing “Baby Shark” on a bar counter to a small toddler-aged child…”

(Mia Cathell – Townhall) A day following the departure of thieving non-binary Biden official Sam Brinton from the U.S. Department of Energy, President Joe Biden invited another non-binary drag queen to the White House who advocates that drag is “for children.” Continue reading

Saving faith is a gift from God

And it happened that when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 So they went in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. 17 And when they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child. Luke 2:15-20 (LSB) Read verses 18-20 on the site.

Human faith is not the same thing as Genuine (saving) faith, which is a gift from God. The former is based in Human reason and intellect. The latter is supernatural. What passes for faith in many professing believer’s “Christianity” is a belief based in who preaches to or teaches them…. Continue reading

‘Grave Soaking’: A Blatantly Unbiblical, Spiritually Dangerous Trend Among Apostate Churches

“All power comes from God, not from graves. Our individual life’s purpose is given to us by God: another believer’s empowerment cannot be ‘pulled out’ or ‘grabbed’ from a corpse.” 

(Dean Dwyer) In the recent sermon I gave in relation to the practices and beliefs of the New Apostolic Reformation, there is a practice that I wanted to devote time to exposing. However, as we often discover, time is fleeting and the allotted sermon time just didn’t allow me to give a full explanation of it. But I believe it is important to make you aware of it. It is the practice of “grave soaking” and to you and me, it sounds somewhat ridiculous. Continue reading

FDA warns that LASIK surgery patients need to be better informed of risks before eye procedure

“Potential side effects that may include dry eyes, difficulty driving at night, double vision, seeing halos around objects and in some cases persistent eye pain and a need for glasses, the FDA said in the same paper.”

(Amy McGorry – Fox News) The surgery known as LASIK — Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis — is under the lens of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is causing controversy among eye experts. Continue reading

With Cooperation from Churches, Canadian Gov Conducts Mass Murder: 10,000 People Dead in Just One Year

“But where is the outrage from the Church? Not just the Canadian churches, but the American Evangelical churches that are too consumed with their own petty issues to care about the real atrocities happening in the world.”

(The Dissenter) I wish this were satire, but sadly it isn’t. Just a few years ago, such a headline would be considered outrageous and absurd. But, euthanasia laws in Canada are out of control, and the results are absolutely horrifying. Last year, according to one report, over 10,000 people in Canada ended their lives via euthanasia, a massive increase over the previous year and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Continue reading

Biden Allies Planning to Intimidate Witnesses Prior to Hunter Biden Investigation

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) According to a bombshell report from the Washington Post, allies of the Biden family have been plotting a strategy to intimidate potential witnesses who may be called to testify before the GOP’s investigation of Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling schemes. The report details a meeting that took place in September at the home of Hunter Biden’s friend and lawyer Kevin Morris in California.

The report revealed that Morris called for a “more aggressive” response to those seeking to investigate the alleged influence peddling. This strategy may involve filing defamation lawsuits against media outlets like Fox News and other Biden critics. Continue reading

‘They’re Losing Their Christian Values. They’re Losing Their Families’ – Viktor Bout Gives First Interview Since His Release from US Prison

Watch the video.

(Jim Hoft – Gateway Pundit) Victor Bout gave his first interview on Saturday since his release from prison in the US.

On Friday, Joe Biden traded the “Merchant of Death” for pot-smoking America-hating WNBA star Brittney Griner.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was found guilty of drug smuggling with criminal intent in a Russian court back in August. Russian prosecutors pushed for a sentence of 9.5 years in a penal colony. Continue reading

Retired Navy SEAL made famous after coming out as trans announces detransition: ‘Destroyed my life’

(Emma Colton – Fox News) A retired Navy SEAL who became famous nearly 10 years ago after coming out as transgender announced he is detransitioning and called on Americans to “wake up” about how transgender health services are hurting children.

“Everything you see on CNN with my face, do not even believe a word of it,” Chris Beck, formerly known as Kristin Beck, told conservative influencer Robby Starbuck in an interview published earlier this month. “Everything that happened to me for the last 10 years destroyed my life. I destroyed my life. I’m not a victim. I did this to myself, but I had help.” Continue reading

Knowing the True Rejecting the False

18 We know that everyone having been born of God does not continually sin, but the one having been born of God, He keeps him and the evil one does not touch him. (1 John 5:18 translated from the NA28 Greek text to English) 

In the 1 John 5:18 (above), in the best manuscripts, the word I translated as “him”  after the word “keeps” is the Greek noun αὐτὸν(auton), a personal pronoun, which is the Accusative, Singular, Masculine case of αὐτός(autos), “he, she, it, self, same.” Continue reading

The Doctrine of the Exclusivity of Christ: Lovingly Confronting False Religions that Lead to Hell

“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

The exclusivity of Christ is a fundamental truth of the Christian faith, and it is a doctrine that is under attack from many quarters today. In an age of increasing pluralism and tolerance, the notion that salvation is only through faith in Jesus Christ is often seen as narrow-minded and intolerant. But the Bible is clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is our duty as Christians to defend this truth and proclaim it to the world. Continue reading

Russian TV Mocks US for Choosing Woman ‘Hooked on Drugs’ Over Marine Hero

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Russian TV (Russia Today) is mocking the US for choosing the female lesbian drug addict over the Marine hero spy. Their words, not ours.

The head of Russia Today, Margarita Somonyan, indicated Biden had a choice – the Marine, Paul Whelan or Griner, but the Marine had three problems.

One is white, the second he’s a man, and the third, he’s heterosexual. She then insisted Whelan is a spy and an American hero who has been in prison for years. Continue reading

A New False Prophet is Gaining Popularity Among Us, His Name is Dr. Kevin M. Young

“Young has also argued that if your pastor doesn’t regularly go see a pagan psychotherapist, you should leave that church.”

(The Dissenter) Not to be confused with Dr. Kevin DeYoung, Dr. Kevin M. Young, a Twitter personality, has exposed himself as an enemy of God and Christianity. For years, he has been using his education and position of influence to undermine the very foundations of Christianity and promote his own heretical beliefs. Continue reading
