“It was only heretics like the Socinians (the liberals of the sixteenth century) who rejected the ancient Christian creeds.”
(Keith Mathison – Ligonier Ministries) Most Christians have heard of things like the Nicene Creed or the Apostles’ Creed, but many Christians also have a number of misconceptions about creeds. There is a lot of misunderstanding about the nature, history, and purpose of creeds. Here are five things you should know about creeds. Continue reading
Democrat Jesus “attempt to recruit Jesus Christ to their cause by some spectacular mangling of the Christian scriptures. They are the living incarnate embodiment of worshiping the creature rather than the creator. They worship themselves and have created a false god and a false Jesus in their own image.”
(The Dissenter) I hear a lot of tripe today from leftists who complain that conservatives believe in a “Republican Jesus” or something insane like that. The argument is that the “Republican Jesus” is xenophobic, sexist, racist, and homophobic—or some combination of these pejoratives depending on one’s devotion to the ideals of the Democratic platform. In reality, leftists are attempting to smear Jesus by tying Republican politics to the theology of conservative Christians. Continue reading
Read it and weep.
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Igor Danchenko was found not guilty on all counts by a DC jury today. He was used by the FBI to help fabricate a dossier to damage or destroy Donald Trump. They offered former British spy Christopher Steele one million dollars to verify the fake dossier he put together with information mostly provided by Danchenko. Steele couldn’t confirm any of it, even for a million dollars. Continue reading
“Reitman suggests treating children suffering from gender dysphoria by using puberty blocking drugs, which will prevent them from developing “unwanted secondary gender/sex characteristics” — for example, breast development in females or penile and testicle growth in males.”
(Amber Athey – The Spectator) Georgetown University’s School of Medicine is teaching its students to administer puberty blockers and hormone therapy to minors, an investigation by The Spectator reveals. Continue reading
11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child. When I became a man, I did away with childish things. 1 Corinthians 13:11 (LSB)
When the Lord circumcised my heart in August 2004, I was truly amazed at the level of spiritual discernment that came with that blessing. Leading up to this, God had drawn me ever deeper into our relationship. I had been in a deep, close, intimate walk with Him over a period of several weeks…. Continue reading
“This is coming from a guy who believes that his venture into San Francisco gay bars was a heavenly experience.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Revoice Conference took place earlier this month, and while much of their content is hidden behind a paywall, they occasionally put out a webinar for the public. Last week, Revoice published a panel for “Coming Out Day” which featured Art Pereira and Grant Hartley. Continue reading
“Steven Furtick is the Lead Pastor of Elevation Church. As head of a Southern Baptist-associated, 25,000-member multisite campus with 17 locations, he is known for having the term “narcigesis” (narcissistic exegesis) named after him based on his inability to exegete scripture in a way that doesn’t make every story revolve around him…”
(Protestia) Last year we criticized the expensive prices that tickets to see Steven Furtick and The Elevation Worship band cost, questioning whether or not it made sense from a financial or spiritual perspective. Individual tickets ranged from about $38 for the nosebleeds, up to $195 for front-row access, with most tickets in the 50-110$ range. Continue reading
“It almost looks as though a switch was flipped the moment Joe Biden took office.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) If you listen to the White House, things are going great. Joe Biden said last week that the economy is “strong as hell,” and on Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that Democrats are making things better.
No, really… she did. Continue reading
The First Century Roman Empire was pluralistic, relativistic, and very spiritual. The Greeks and Romans shared about 15 or 16 gods and goddesses, worshipped under different names. In addition to their own deities, Rome would incorporate into their belief system the deities worshipped in newly conquered territories. PBS describes this in “The Roman Empire in the First City: Roman Gods”: Continue reading
“1 Beware of doing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 6:1 (LSB)
Of all of the things Christians do that sets them apart from non-believers, prayer is both practiced heavily and not well understood. There is controversy about what genuine prayer is and isn’t. The Word-Faith people go so far as to use prayer like a vending machine. I could write a post everyday on prayer in this blog from now until the Lord takes me home and never run out of things to write about. Before we go any further in this discussion I want to state here that I am no expert on prayer…. Continue reading
(Alex Berenson) In the last 48 hours, people have been screaming about the news that Boston University researchers stuck the Omicron spike into the original Sars-Cov-2 virus –
and PRODUCED A VIRUS WITH AN 80 PERCENT MORTALITY RATE WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE DIE DIE HOW COULD THEY DO THIS –
Stop.
Just stop. Continue reading
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) YouTube is the largest video platform in the world and creators are an emerging threat to legacy media corporations. Ironically, instead of leveraging their creators against other mediums of entertainment, YouTube has given legacy media favorable treatment on its platform. The way that copyright works on YouTube eventually boils down to court action over copyright disputes. But the process in order to get there is rife with flaws that hurt independent creators. Continue reading
The “offensive” tweets that got Phil permanently suspended are posted in the article.
(Protestia) The estimable Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace to You, founder and former curator of The Spurgeon Archive, and one of our favorite people ever, has been permanently suspended from Twitter after he decried the stationing of drag-queen crossing guards at elementary schools as “state-sponsored grooming.” Continue reading
(The Dissenter) There is so much in this world masquerading as “Christianity” and this blog endeavors to equip believers to be able to discern what is good from what is evil. In fact, in the like-mindedness of Charles Spurgeon, it’s more important to be able to discern what’s right from what’s almost right. In a spirit of true concern for the body of Christ, and never out of selfish ambition, we are called to expose error—even subtle error—and point people to the truth of the gospel. Continue reading
Watch the video.
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and John Podesta have all suggested we should unite into a North American Union. It would certainly destroy US, Canadian, and Mexican sovereignty. We would become one with a narco-terrorist nation. Dangerous cartels run Mexico, and Joe Biden has aided and abetted them.
Hillary has said those who want to limit immigration are “fundamentally unAmerican.”… Continue reading
“We’ve taught a Jesus that’s an idol. It’s not the real Jesus. We’ve taught a Jesus that says that ‘love’ means being nice to everybody all the time. Well, when I read my Bible, Jesus wasn’t very nice. He was not very nice most of the time.”
(Protestia) Last time we checked in with Promise Keepers, we were ragging on them clucking our tongues after they brought in Trinity-denier T.D. Jakes to be a speaker at their 2020 conference. Continue reading
“Video of the encounter was taken by Kalen D’Almeida of TPUSA, and it appears that Secret Service agents who witnessed Biden’s creepy remarks weren’t happy with him documenting it.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Joe Biden’s inappropriate touching and sniffing of women and young girls is well-documented and, apparently, a hard habit to break. On Friday at a meet and greet in Irvine, Calif., he was recorded resuming his creeper ways with a young girl. Continue reading
“Baptist preacher Rick Warren said, “Pope Francis is doing everything right.” Well, Rick has himself made many overtures toward Muslim leaders. It appears that we are all expected to disregard the truth of the ages and sit around holding hands with unbelievers over hot chocolate and brownies while an international choir sings a little off-key, Kumbaya.”
(Don Boys) There are about 4,200 religions, churches, denominations, religious bodies, and faith groups in the world, and Pope Francis is trying to get everyone together; however, each group makes its own pitch for their “way.” Obviously, Francis has to convince everyone to consider their own teaching as non-essential in order to merge with the other groups that are in error. To leftists, unity is far more important than truth. Continue reading
Tullian and his grandfather Billy Graham.
“Without any sign of observable repentance, Tchividjian waited a few years, then jumped back in the pulpit and planted a new church, keeping busy by turning his ministry disqualifications into a cottage industry. Attacking the Christian church as “elitists” and “judgmental,” the fallen minister capitalized on ungodliness to attract unsanctified followers.”
(Protestia) Disgraced pastor Tullian Tchividjian will be the keynote speaker at the Man Up conference this weekend, demonstrating what it looks like when undiscerning, naïve, and foolish-minded churches are willing to set aside all Biblical standards in order to host an evangelical celebrity, damaged as he may be. Continue reading
“What they may get is a report by Durham that will curl your hair. Indeed, Durham’s already laid out shocking details in his previous court papers and testimony in the Michael Sussmann case. That’s where we learned from Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager that the candidate green-lighted the fake Russia Trump Alfa Bank operation.”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) An FBI intelligence analyst testifying in the special counsel probe by John Durham says he never really checked the fake story about the so-called “Steele dossier” in the Trump Russia collusion hoax — including the infamous and non-existent “pee tape” — and assumed FBI sources were telling the truth…. Continue reading
(Capstone Report) The Woke organization behind the misguided $100 million He Gets Us Campaign gave over $700,000 to SBC entities including a $701,000 grant the entity formerly led by Russell Moore, according to federal tax records filed by the organization The Servant Foundation and doing business as The Signatry.
The tax documents for 2020 show a $701,000 grant to the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and another $7,000 grant to the North American Mission Board (NAMB). Continue reading
(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) Most evangelical Christians have never heard of “prophet” Chuck Pierce and his “family business” Glory of Zion International. Pierce is a widely respected individual among charismatic and Pentecostal Christians who believe that God is raising up a new generation of prophets to guide the church.
This respect is not warranted. Two huge red flags, nepotism and excessive compensation, in Pierce’s ministry should raise important questions for donors. Continue reading
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” Eph 6:10-11
(Rick Becker – Famine in the Land) The Bible is replete with warnings about deception, warnings that go largely unheeded. Believers are not immune to deception and should be cognizant of the fact that the visible church is where wolves find their prey. The Apostle Paul recognized and warned about this threat: “I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish every one with tears” (Acts 20:29-31). Nowadays, it’s difficult to find a believer that has not been under the influence of some form of false doctrine. False teachers – or fierce wolves as Paul describes them are one of the sources of deception, but there are more. In this article, we’ll look at 3 sources of deception, and conclude with 3 safeguards against deception. Continue reading
“According to some reports, billboards are already showing up all over some American cities that boast messages such as “Jesus was an immigrant,” and “Jesus let his hair down too.” Really idiotic stuff. But this is who Southern Baptist leaders want you to help fund with your tithe dollars.”
(The Dissenter) Yesterday, we brought to you the story that the Southern Baptist Convention’s North American Mission Board (NAMB) is partnering with He Gets Us which is essentially a public relations campaign that is attempting to make Jesus more palatable to the public. Continue reading
“Making threats against doctors and hospitals should be prosecuted. But we all know how the Justice Department would interpret “threats,” and Republican AGs are drawing a line trying to keep Garland from straying into viewpoint suppression.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) A group of thirteen state attorneys general warned Attorney General Merrick Garland against investigating critics of child gender transition surgeries.
Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti is leading the effort, demanding that Garland “stand down” on acting on the requests of several medical organizations to investigate “disinformation campaigns” about child gender transitions. Continue reading
