16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, also heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. Romans 8:16-17 (LSB)
Even through as Christians we are justified and are under no condemnation (Romans 8:1) it is also clearly taught in God’s Word that Christians are to live lives of repentance from the works of the flesh. However, there are some who take the Doctrines of Grace and separate them from the great teachings of the Puritans such as John Owen, John Bunyan, Thomas Watson, Jonathan Edwards, Francis Turretin, et cetera that made it clear that in this life Christians are required to “work out their salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12)….

“Stroll on the Harvard campus. You look in vain for the Stars and Stripes. Instead, you see Islamic flags featuring a green field, a white crescent moon and a star. You listen in vain for the national anthem, the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” or “Yankee Doodle.” Instead, you hear the antisemitic chant “From the river to the sea” calling for the destruction of Israel.”
“After decades of steady decline, the share of Americans identifying as Christian has stabilized. One reason is the unexpected religiosity of Generation Z — young adults born after 2000 — who are not abandoning religion at the rate their parents did. For some, faith has become a form of rebellion against a culture that rejects traditional values.”
(Sister Toldjah – Red State) I did not have “Simone Biles attacks Riley Gaines” on my bingo card this week, and yet here we are.
“When a man walks into church—even skeptical, even tired—he’s not looking for himself. He’s looking for something bigger. Transcendent. Weighty. And when we open with “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty”, we’re not alienating him. We’re inviting him into heaven’s soundtrack (Rev. 4:8).”
(Iain Murray) The first and invariable result of the new birth, according to Christ, is ‘sight’ (
(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Well, that escalated quickly.
“The message is loud, the costumes are bright, and the damage is deliberate. What used to be a quiet corner of educational television has been hijacked by activists with sock puppets and scripts from GLAAD.”
“We believe as Christians we have a God-given responsibility to ensure to our best ability that the spiritual “fountains” we see people sampling are not poisonous or could not cost them a price far too great to bear. Our job, as we see it, is to warn people who might be unaware of the dangers of false teaching.” 
“We talk about people living in a bubble–and they do–but the problem goes deeper than the filtering of information. If it were just a filter or bubble, then the bubble could burst, as it should have many times in the past few years. After the Steele Dossier, Hunter Biden laptop, “sharp as a tack” hoaxes were exposed, a person exercising rationality would revise their circle of trust, right? But millions haven’t, and most of those millions are pretty smart.” 
“This is especially obvious in a household. A father’s faithful life—or his abdication—shapes his children. But it goes further. The trajectory he sets has a ripple effect: his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even those outside his family are pulled into the wake of his character. This is the power of gravitas. And what’s true of a household is true of institutions.”
“God put leaders in place to promote good and punish wrongdoing (
Detractors to my assessments of women like Allie Beth, Priscilla Shirer, Beth Moore, Joanna Gaines, Christine Caine, Raechel Myers, women who claim to be biblical but live a very forward life, are numerous. One constant rejoinder I receive is, ‘Well her children are grown now, she has time and energy to serve the Lord in other ways!’
Watch the short LOL videos – the ranting “ladies” vulgar language has been bleeped.
“Those details, however, pale in comparison to two explosive facts the EC revealed by way of background. First, the EC explained the FBI’s Sentinel case management system allows investigative material to be coded “Prohibited Access,” which renders the files not merely inaccessible to other agents — but invisible to them. And second, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team designated the Trump/Russia-collusion investigations “Prohibited Access” in Sentinel, meaning any agents running keyword search in Sentinel would wrongly believe there were no responsive documents.”
“Vischer and The Holy Post have officially partnered with BetterHelp—an online therapy platform that moonlights as an LGBTQ affirmation ministry with a therapy license.”
(Protestia) Famed New Testament scholar N.T. Wright shared more about his long-standing position on the early chapters of Genesis, offering that not only is it poetry that is not to be taken literally, but that “Adam” and “Eve” were simply a primal pair of hominids (a type of primates that first appeared 5-7 million years ago) living among other hominids when “some strange force or power” called to be a part of “the human” project.
“There is a growing tendency among many Christians in the West to redefine the second greatest commandment instead of simply misapplying it. To these misguided minds, when Christ said, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” he actually meant, “Make sure your neighbor feels loved by you.” The difference between those statements can be a matter of (eternal) life and death.”
“A gender-dysphoric child who finds “comfort” at North Point is likely to be encouraged to socially, hormonally, and surgically transition.” 
“Scripture isn’t vague. Jesus was tempted in every way except sin (
