“With 71 percent of the vote in favor of the ban, FINA’s executive director said that the approach in drafting the regulations was science backed, comprehensive and emphasized competitive fairness.”
(Sarah Arnold – Townhall) The international government body for swimmers, FINA, announced its decision to ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s elite events.
However, it does have one condition. Continue reading

“Get used to different” – the words of “Jesus” in season 1 of The Chosen when he called Matthew as a disciple. These words (not found in the biblical narrative) have become a slogan for the series. Unfortunately, “different” is a description of the Jesus that Dallas Jenkins, the creator and director of The Chosen advocates – a “different” Jesus that we will have to get used to in a negative sense (2 Cor 11:4). This other, or different Jesus will be a popular Jesus, an ecumenical Jesus that brings various “faith traditions” together. An inclusive Jesus that accepts all religions. A Jesus that can be defined in the broadest terms possible. A Jesus that accepts different understandings of his nature. A Jesus that has come to bring peace in this world and harmony among different religions. Essential doctrines will be ignored or viewed as “differences,” and set aside as various cults, false religions, and the majority of the visible church are deceived by the spirit of the antichrist. They’ll claim that they love the same Jesus – which is a different Jesus. Someone playing a role in this universal and syncretic deception is Dallas Jenkins, and it’s no small part given the popularity of his series. Aside from the influential series, what is often overlooked is something just as influential – the words of Dallas Jenkins. Continue reading
1 And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, 4 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. 6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; 7 but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; 1 Corinthians 2:1-16(NASB) Read verses 8-16 on the site.
One of the most subtle aspects of the Compromised Church is its friendship with the world. All through the Bible we are told that we are not to love the things of this world, nor are we to be conformed to this world, nor are we to see this world as our home, but we are to have our treasure in Heaven rather in the world. We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We are to live this life with eternity in mind. Continue reading
1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
3 By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5 but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: 6 the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked. 1 John 2:1-6 (NASB)
One of the most tragic aspects of the Compromised Church, which is a product of its emphasis on numbers, baptisms. relevance, and worldliness is its complete lack of correct theology pertaining to salvation and assurance. Those who are believing they became part of the Kingdom of God in these churches are, for the most part, responding to a doctrine of salvation based upon some form of works righteousness which is the belief that one’s standing before God is founded and maintained by works of merit….

“They were charged with Unlawful Entry. This is an active criminal investigation, and may result in additional criminal charges after consultation with the U.S. Attorney.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Chad Pergram of Fox News confirms that nine producers associated with The Late Show and Stephen Colbert were arrested last night and charged with illegal entry to House office buildings after hours. Democrat Reps. Adam Schiff and Jake Auchincloss let them into the building – illegally. Continue reading
“Did Jesus care about the poor, the downtrodden, and the marginalized? Yes. He also cared about the rich, the powerful, and the socially advantaged. Jesus cared about everyone, and he helped anyone who came to him—poor beggar or prostitute, wealthy tax collector or Pharisee.”
(Greg Koukl – Stand to Reason) I want to tell you a story of an ancient sage who changed the world.
This wise man fought for justice, championing the cause of the poor and the oppressed. He rejected organized religion, showing tolerance—not judgment—for the outcast and the socially marginalized. He promoted universal love and the brotherhood of man…. Continue reading
“Personhood laws will make everything else obsolete because they’ll address the questions of when life begins and ends. It’s not just about babies in the womb but about the elderly as well and about quality of life.”
(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Yesterday I wrote about the chilling threats that one pro-abortion group, Jane’s Revenge, has issued against pregnancy centers.
“From here forward, any anti-choice group who closes their doors, and stops operating will no longer be a target,” the threat read in part. “But until you do, it’s open season, and we know where your operations are.” Continue reading
The atheist isn’t the only one that should be avoided. Others include David Barton of Wall Builders and Sean Feucht of Bethel Church. Chris Rosebrough of Fighting for the Faith once said about Barton: Dave Barton…is flat out deceitful…he needs to clean up his act…he is discrediting himself and he is discrediting Christianity by engaging in deception.’” David Barton has also appeared on arch heretic Kenneth Copeland’s show.
Because of Charlie Kirk’s lack of discernment, CRN cannot recommend the Pastors Summit. Continue reading
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:22-23 (NASB)
Over the last several years, perhaps even over the last several decades, I have become aware of a disturbing phenomenon in the Church in America. Perhaps you have noticed it as well. The phenomenon I am writing about is willful ignorance in our spiritual leaders. Continue reading
“The folks know old Joe is jiving them. An ABC News poll released last week says just 28 percent of American adults think Biden is doing a good job handling inflation. Not sure, but I think some of the 28 percent were smoking crack when ABC called.”
(Bill O’Reilly) In 1920, a Chicago White Sox outfielder nicknamed Shoeless Joe Jackson was banned from Major League Baseball for conspiring to fix the 1919 World Series. The accusation was that Jackson did not field his position properly, leading to the Sox losing to the Cincinnati Reds. Jackson and seven other players allegedly received bribes to “fix” the series. Continue reading
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Americans are without a country. Border agents no longer have any “morale” as they try to defend this country’s borders under a President who refuses to close the borders or support them.
Border Patrol agents nabbed 15 people at the southern border in May who were on the FBI’s terrorist screening database, showing the free-for-all along the U.S.-Mexico boundary is unabated, according to The Washington Times. Continue reading
(Alex Berenson) mRNA Covid vaccines offer essentially no defense against Omicron only months after a booster shot, according to a major new study from British researchers. Both antibody and T-cell protection are nearly non-existent, the scientists found.
In an even more worrisome development, when vaccinated but previously uninfected people suffer breakthrough Omicron infections, their T-cell response is biased toward earlier versions of Sars-Cov-2 – not to the Omicron variant that has actually infected them. Continue reading
“The church must warn its members that those who refuse to repent of these sins—as well as of idolatry, greed, and other such sins—will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
(The Dissenter) The Dissenter has documented the leftward drift of the popular Reformed Calvin University over the years. Calvin University (formerly Calvin College) is home to a number of student organizations, one of which is Sexuality and Gender Awareness (SAGA). Continue reading
“The radical Leftists started with Critical Race Theory (CRT), advanced to the issue of women pastors…and are now open about working with and celebrating pro-LGBTQ partners.”
(Capstone Report) Southern Baptists like most conservative Americans were alarmed when it was revealed that Disney was grooming children into radical LGBTQ sexual ideology. Yet, Southern Baptist elites did nothing about it. They continued to hawk discounted tickets to Disneyland and now the newly elected President of the Southern Baptist Convention celebrated his win at—wait for it—Disneyland following the Southern Baptist Convention in Anaheim. Continue reading

5 For I know that the LORD is great And that our Lord is above all gods. 6 Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps. Psalms 135:5-6 (NASB) Read Romans 3:9-18 and Proverbs 14:12 on the site.

“People who truly believe that they have the right to the world being exactly as they want it have no problem justifying any means to help craft their impossible world, from ruining careers to ending lives. It’s the impetus for everything from Twitter cancel culture mobs to mass shooters.”
(Stephen Kruiser) Well, I’m not a casual observer and have no problem saying that this country’s woes can be traced to the abandonment of God and moral absolutes for the false comfort of secular relativism. Continue reading
Drag queen dances for child as adults look on.
“The order emphasizes the need to allow boys and men in girls’ and women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers if the boys or men say they are girls or a woman. That applies even if he is fully a man physically.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Biden signed an executive order to combat discrimination at a “Pride celebration” in the East Room of the White House on Wednesday. A large digital rainbow flag was on display. The event was attended by a roomful of LGBTQ activists, along with First lady Jill Biden, Vice President Harris, Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff, Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg, and Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine, a transgender. Continue reading
Diver removing discarded masks from a Philippines reef.
“The study theorized that the so-called “Foegen effect,” whereby hypercondensed droplets caught by masks are re-inhaled and introduced deeper into the respiratory tract, could be responsible for the increased Covid mortality rate.”
(Scott Morefield – Brownstone Institute) Unless you’re visiting a medical facility still taken in by the mask-cult or you live in a big city or some obscure California county run by hypochondriac Democrats, you’re probably generally living your life without being forced to wear a useless, bacteria-laden piece of t-shirt material over your face.

“We debated 45 minutes yesterday what a pastor is,” Ascol said. “We can’t really define what a pastor is. That is crazy talk for people who say they believe the Bible.”
(Capstone Report) Conservative Southern Baptist leader Tom Ascol told Jenna Ellis that the SBC is on an “unhealthy path” with many theological issues that must be addressed or the SBC will head into a “dangerous” area. Ascol was the standard bearer for conservative Southern Baptists in the recent presidential election. Ascol fell to the Woke choice Bart Barber just as last year Mike Stone fell to Woke choice Ed Litton. Naturally, some Southern Baptist pastors and members are fed up with the Woke control and are now pondering leaving the SBC. Continue reading
“This is the Southern Baptist Convention today. It is where this denomination is. It is a dumpster fire, apostate, under the judgment of God and is led by the prophets of Baal—and it should be treated as such.”
(The Dissenter) Last night, one of the worst possible candidates to lead the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) defeated the conservative candidate in a landslide victory. In reality, liberalism, wokeism, egalitarianism, feminism, and lack of integrity defeated biblical Christianity in the 2022 Southern Baptist Convention presidential election by over 20 percentage points…. Continue reading
“Those who greenlighted a transgender-accolades segment should be called to account and probably fired. Otherwise, honest employees and contributors should resign — and Americans will stop watching.”
(Kylee Zempel – The Federalist) The right has come to expect transgender accolades in the corporate media, with networks such as CNN and MSNBC perpetually promoting that left-wing ideology. But conservative viewers were stunned on Friday to see that radical narrative being pushed by the only major cable network still sympathetic to their views: Fox News. Continue reading
Watch the video. Check out the tweets.
(Protestia) Rick Warren made a surprise appearance and the SBC 2022 convention and spoke for several minutes, uninterrupted, using his time to list all his accomplishments as the largest Southern Baptist church in the world in order to stave off criticism over ordaining women pastors while telling attendees that they need to stop “bickering over secondary issues” like what gender the pastor is, and instead focus on the Great Commission.

(Madeline Hubbard – Just the News) Disney will be unable to show “Lightyear,” the latest Pixar movie in the “Toy Story” franchise, in at least 14 Middle Eastern and Asian countries due to homosexual content in the film, Reuters reported.
The Disney movie’s future is still uncertain in China, the largest global movie market.
A “Lightyear” producer told the outlet that Chinese officials asked for cuts to the film, but Disney declined. The producer said she assumed the movie would not open there either. Continue reading
(Catherine Hamilton – Breitbart) Making puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones easier for minors to access has increased youth suicide rates, a new report from the Heritage Foundation asserts.
The report directly challenges claims from pro-transgender clinical organizations, activists, and the Biden administration that puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones reduce suicides of minors who believe they are the opposite sex. Continue reading
6 who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God. Romans 2:6-11 (NASB)
Earlier this week I listened to John MacArthur’s Sunday Morning sermon. In it he talked about the necessity of preaching the law and gospel and how not being obedient to this is being disobedient to the Great Commission and actually creates churches full of false believers…. Continue reading
