The Basis for Genuine Christian Living

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine-grower. 2 “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He cleans it so that it may bear more fruit. (John 15:1–2 Legacy Standard Bible)

Something has changed. Of course, I am sure the changes I am referring to have not suddenly taken place, but are, in fact, the result of years of God’s judgment upon nations, church groups (denominations), church leaders, and professing Christians because Christians at the core along with their leaders have compromised….

Transgender Lia Thomas Wins NCAA Championship Swimming Title

“The Times and other media outlets are pretending to be astonished at Thomas’s transformation from a male swimmer ranked 462 to the number one women’s division swimmer in the NCAA. It’s a question of wokeness winning over common sense.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) Lia Thomas became the first transgender person to win an NCAA Division 1 swimming championship, destroying the competition to win the 500-yard freestyle event by nearly two seconds. Continue reading

GOP fury at Big Tech, Dems after NYT admits Hunter Biden laptop is real

“They told you President Trump colluded with Russia. He didn’t. They told you Hunter Biden’s laptop was fake. It wasn’t.”

(Emily Crane – New York Post) Outraged Republicans have accused Big Tech, Democrats and the liberal media of colluding to censor reports on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop after the New York Times finally admitted the device was real.

“The New York Times admits what we’ve known for years: the Hunter Biden laptop story was true. Big tech’s censorship of this story was a disgrace,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) tweeted Thursday morning. Continue reading

Breaking! Interim Hillsong Leader Says Founder Brian Houston Committed ‘Indiscretions’ with Two Women

(Protestia) A year after Hillsong head honcho Brian Houston fired Pastor Carl Lentz of their New York Branch for having an adulterous relationship, interim Global Senior Pastor Phil Dooley, who took over leadership duties from Brian Houston in January so the founder he could focus on his upcoming court case where he’s been accused of covering up the sexual abuse of a minor, told over 800 staff members at during a Zoom meeting Friday morning that Houston committed several ‘indiscretions’ towards two women, according to Crikey News.

(Capstone Report) A church in Virginia planted by the New City Network–a partnership funded by NAMB and McLean Bible Church promotes the use of the Enneagram in its new member training class.

SBC Presidential candidate Willy Rice is vice chairman of the NAMB trustees charged with oversight of NAMB. Continue reading

Christian Boldness

1 Why do the nations rage And the peoples meditate on a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against Yahweh and against His Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!”

4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord mocks them. 5 Then He speaks to them in His anger And terrifies them in His fury, saying, 6 “But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.” (Psalm 2:1–12 Legacy Standard Bible) Read verses 7-12 on the site.

Christians should not be surprised when they are the minority in the world. They should not become discouraged when worldly philosophies such as Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality become predominate in the social and educational structures where they live…. Continue reading

Mom Speaks Out In Explosive Video Over Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas: ‘A Full-Grown Male’ ‘Taking’ From Women

“They’re frightened of losing friends. They’re frightened of being kicked off their teams. They’re frightened of being told by their universities that they’re transphobic and hateful.”

(Amanda Prestigiacomo – Daily Wire) A mother of a female swimmer in the Ivy League spoke out in an explosive video condemning those in charge for allowing a transgender swimmer, who is biologically male, to compete against females. Continue reading

Julie Roys dupes interviewer as they discuss her accusations against John MacArthur

“For better or worse (and to what degree he was still an abuser), Grace Community Church elders believed David was fully repentant, and there is no evidence she was counseled to stay with him while he reigned down blows, submitting to his fists and “submitting” to his abuse.”

(Protestia) Despite Ruslan KD taking a few shots at us in a recent video he did with Julie Roys outlining the John MacArthur saga, we have no ill will towards him, and in fact have featured him before. What we did want to focus on, however, are several claims made by both parties showing the careless way they handle facts and truth.

The first claim came from Ruslan, who said, “she was the first journalist to cover Ravi Zacharias” to which Roys responds: Continue reading

The Dignity Act Gives Amnesty to Millions Here Illegally

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Republican Rep. Marie Salazar of Florida has promoted her bill, The Dignity Act, to allegedly give dignity to 10 – 20 million or so illegal aliens who poured into the country over the past five years by letting them remain.

She proposes the usual border security that is never implemented and increases penalties for illegal border crossers. The bill calls for the deportation of criminals…. Continue reading

Marvel Comics Joins the Ranks of Child Groomers, Opposes Florida’s Child Safety Legislation

(Reformation Charlotte) Earlier today, Reformation Charlotte reported that 35 percent of the nation now supports state-sponsored child grooming in public schools—an unprecedented number up from nearly zero just a few years ago. A growing percentage of the population now opposes the Florida Bill HB 1557, which simply gives parents greater control over their children’s education and mandates that school officials contact parents immediately if there is any change in the mental, social, or emotional state of a child enrolled in the school. Continue reading

Many Are Called But Few Are Chosen

13 “These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast. 14 “These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and elect and faithful.” (Revelation 17:13–14 Legacy Standard Bible)

In this post we will look our Lord’s parable of the Wedding Feast from Matthew 22:1-14. I was told by someone who disagreed with my post Who Is Responsible For A Believer’s Salvation? that those of us who held a “Calvinist” viewpoint” did so because we misinterpreted this parable. His contention was that we were taking v14 out of context. Let us look at the entire context. Continue reading

Disney employees are planning a major walkout because Florida won’t let teachers talk to 5-year-olds about transgenderism and homosexuality

So… I just want to be clear: If teachers aren’t allowed to discuss same-sex attraction or male hormonal castration with children still too young to read… this constitutes a “threat to LGBTQIA+ safety”?

(Daniel Payne – Not the Bee) Near the end of the corny but compellingly heartfelt “Good Will Hunting,” after the working-class Will Hunting takes yet another insecure shot at his upper-class girlfriend’s considerable wealth, she asks him: Continue reading

‘Christianity Today’ Rocked By Scandal, Say ‘Sexual Harassment Went Unchecked’ at Company For Decade

Image by Protestia

“Imagine our non-surprise when they released an article today, explaining the toxic culture that permeated the organization for years”

(Protestia) We haven’t always been nice to Christianity Today, and with good reason. They are the progressive rag known for giving a platform to every weird and liberally insidious bent, even before they came swinging against the violence at Capitol Hill on January 6th, laying the responsibility for the mayhem at the feet of the “white American church” and any leaders who voted for and supported the President. Continue reading

35 Percent of Americans Support Grooming Children in Public Schools

“Ten years ago, almost nobody would have publicly supported the teaching and promoting of LGBTQ ideologies to Kindergarteners.”

(Reformation Charlotte) If you’ve been paying attention to the news, you’re probably aware of the controversial bill in Florida banning child grooming in public schools. Of course, the left frames it as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, but this, to put it in mild terms, is simply absurd. Continue reading

Blue Cities Are Literal Toilets, and Libs Are OK With That

“Do bolshie-Americans not realize how dangerous this is? More importantly, do they care? The World Health Organization (WHO) actually has people who study the effects of poor waste disposal. This is what they have to say:”

(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) I used to enjoy comedy road trip gigs to the west coast. Portland was my favorite city, followed by Seattle. I haven’t been there in 10 years, and here is why.

Even as early as 2011, the writing was on the walls of Portland and Seattle. Homeless drug addicts were everywhere, as were their “calling cards.”… Continue reading

Pfizer CEO Calls for Another Booster Shot for all Americans

(Eric Lendrum – American Greatness) On Sunday, the chief executive officer of Pfizer said that Americans should be prepared to receive a second booster shot of the Coronavirus vaccine, which would mark the fourth overall shot that has been forced on the American public.

As reported by Politico, Albert Bourla made his remarks in an interview with CBS’ Margaret Brennan, where he said that his company was preparing to submit “a significant package of data about the need for a fourth dose” to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Continue reading

Liberal Theology

6 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me. (John 14:6–7 Legacy Standard Bible)

In 1980 I moved from the Washington, D.C. area to a suburb of Oklahoma City to take a new job. I was 29 years old and thought I was a Christian because of my on again, off again religiosity. I was single and a political liberal. I was also very close to being a libertine…. Continue reading

Rand Paul Introduces Amendment to Remove Fauci as NIAID Director

“We’ve learned a lot over the past two years, but one lesson in particular is that no one person should be deemed ‘dictator-in-chief,” Paul, a consistent critic of Fauci, said in a statement.

(Hannah Bleau – Breitbart – Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Monday introduced an amendment to remove Dr. Anthony Fauci as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), two years after the start of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. Continue reading

The Prince of Darkness

“Putin and Xi are obviously dangerous to the world, just as Soros is a danger to America.  His unlimited money is quietly used to advance the most radical politicians and causes; there is no question about that.  Again, few truly understand how pernicious this man really is.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Billionaire George Soros is after Presidents Putin and Xi of China.  He wants them canceled right this minute.  The 92-year-old Soros recently wrote an internet column saying they were enemies of democracy.  The Soros line that caught my eye: “We can only hope that Putin and Xi will be removed from power before they can destroy our civilization.” Continue reading

Phil Johnson Responds to Julie Roys in the Most Appropriate Way Possible +Demonstrates her Dishonesty

(Protestia) We have previously responded to the allegations that John MacArthur and Grace Community Church mishandled a church discipline case here. We strongly advise everyone to read it before proceeding. In the article, we offer some possible explanations of where this went sideways (if indeed it did at all) while also showing the problematic and contemptible nature of much of Julie Roys’ reporting.

Despite having the story for weeks or months ahead of time, she released the article on the 8th…. Continue reading

Biden Is So Weak, Another Big Threat Is Organizing in the U.S.

“With Old Joe Biden in the White House, the Islamic State sees a perfect time to act in the United States. And with the Southern border essentially fictional and our law enforcement and intelligence apparatus devoted to hunting for equally fictional “white supremacists,” it’s easy to see why they think this way.” 

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) The Islamic State (ISIS) is back. Five years after Donald Trump entered the Oval Office and quickly brought about the destruction of its caliphate in Iraq and Syria, ISIS is resurgent and wealthy. Could this have anything to do with Old Joe Biden’s misrule? Of course. Continue reading

Why Christians should never use The Message ‘Bible’

(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) The Message is not a translation of the Bible. It is not a para-translation, as its publishers have so cleverly called it. Nor is it simply a paraphrase, because its earthly author, Eugene Peterson, has added, subtracted, and altered.

We should not use The Message because it is unholy.

UNHOLY!

The Word of God is clear we are never to profane the Lord’s name. (Deut 5:11, Exodus 20:7) Continue reading

The Work of the Holy Spirit

26 “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness about Me, 27 and you will bear witness also, because you have been with Me from the beginning (John 15:26–27 Legacy Standard Bible)

We live in a time of biblical ignorance. Much of the ignorance is intentional. I have been involved in some discussions over the last several days that pertained to a movement that seeks to separate Jesus from Holy Scripture…. Continue reading

Project Veritas Questions Possible Media-Govt. Collusion On Jan. 6

“Rosenberg appeared to suggest the New York Times editorial stance on the matter is shifting towards downplaying those events as if it’s no big deal [suggesting that] slanted January 6 coverage is only part of a greater narrative aimed at attacking and discrediting Donald Trump.”

(OAN) The latest report by Project Veritas is raising questions about possible collusion between the mainstream media and government agencies to discredit Donald Trump and Republican voters…. Continue reading

Judge Julie: Accusing a Shepherd

Roys’ article creates the worst possible characterization of the events and people involved, as she employs a caricature of John MacArthur the chauvinist, enabler of abuse, and church authoritarian who purposefully attacks abused women and children. This is the narrative the reader is expected to accept against decades of evidence to the contrary.

(David Morrill – Protestia) Here we go again. Much like the last time I responded to a Julie Roys hit on John MacArthur, I hesitate to lend legitimacy to her attacks by offering a response. Yet given the volume of questions we’ve been asked about her article, the number of Christians blessed by John MacArthur’s ministry who are now apparently questioning the man’s lifetime of good and faithful service to the Lord, and the pile on from many online Christian personalities (Ruslan KDSaiko Woods for example), I am compelled to respond.
