FBI does about-face, concedes Trump wounded by bullet during assassination attempt

(Misty Severt – Just the News) The FBI officially admitted on Friday night that former President Donald Trump was hit by a bullet during an assassination attempt on his life earlier this month.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday that he was not sure what hit Trump during the July 13 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. He claimed it could have been a bullet, glass, or shrapnel, which spurred backlash from conservative lawmakers. Continue reading

As Islamic Groups Vow Massacres, Paris Olympics Target Christianity

“Olympics openly mocks Jesus’ Last Supper as drag queens dressed as women play the role of disciples while a plus size woman appears in the middle symbolising Jesus wearing a giant crown.”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Every Western leftist’s favorite jihad group, Hamas, released a video a few days before the Olympics opened, vowing that there would soon be “rivers of blood flowing through the streets of Paris.”  French police recently arrested two would-be Islamic State (ISIS) jihad suicide bombers who were planning to target the Olympics. The Islamic State also called upon Muslims to carry out drone strikes on the Eiffel Tower during the Olympics. After all that, the Olympics Opening Ceremony featured full-scale, open mockery not of Islam (of course!), but of the religion leftists love to hate: Christianity. Continue reading

Our Gospel

8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, 10 but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. 2 Timothy 1:8-12 (NASB) 

The churchianity that most of us grew up with is confused with genuine Christianity by many people. It is actually a set of beliefs or values laid out in our minds’ decision grid. It becomes a value system in the heart that reckons salvation to be based on religious acts such as saying a certain prayer in a certain order while holding to a certain frame of mind….

Christian Publishing Houses Are Advancing The Apostasy Pandemic In The Church (Reprise)

This article was first published May 13, 2021

By Marsha West

Dr. David F. Wells lamented that he has watched “with growing disbelief as the evangelical church has cheerfully plunged into astounding theological illiteracy.” How can a believer in Jesus Christ plunge into biblical illiteracy?  In part, the blame can be laid squarely on Christian publishing houses for printing theological rubbish.

Enter your local Christian bookstore, gaze around the shop, and eventually you will spot a couple shelves of Bibles in many sizes and colors, leather, hard cover, in every conceivable translation. Publishers promise that their version is the most “accurate” “up-to-date” and “easiest to read.”

Fortunately for me, my mother chose my first Bible. She bought it as a gift for my 18th birthday. It was the KJV, Old and New Testaments, vintage black leather with gold gilding. Over the years I made many notations on the pages of that Bible. Mom was thrilled that her rebellious second born of five requested a Bible and not a trendy outfit.

The two of us spent many hours together browsing the aisles of Christian bookstores. She’d always nudge me toward the Theology section that housed giant hard cover commentaries, concordances and Greek Lexicons. I’d hang out with Mom for a short time then I’d meander over to the Christian Living, Fiction, and invariably end up browsing the “Christian” Music racks. Back then I wasn’t interested in taking a deep dive into God’s Word, even though I cherished my Bible and read it often. Continue reading

Can We Let the Voters Decide—Not the FBI, CIA, DOJ, Lawyers, Prosecutors, and Judges?

“After nearly a decade of utter madness, can we finally order the FBI, DOJ, and CIA to butt out of our elections? Can a bankrupt media cease whipping up hysterias about a supposed Nazi-like takeover?”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) When Donald Trump seemed to have a lock on the 2016 Republican primary, the Democratic Party concluded that the people could not be counted on to do the “right thing” of electing the Democratic candidate in waiting Hillary Clinton.

What followed were eight long years of extralegal efforts to neuter candidate, then President, then ex-President, and then candidate again, Donald Trump. Continue reading

Dr. Ben Carson: Marxism, a Corrupt Media & Threats to Democracy

(Mary Dowling) Dr. Ben Carson spoke with Tucker for nearly two hours about the state of affairs, describing the down-to-earth, kind Donald Trump he has known for ten years. They discussed the media turning an immensely unpopular leftist woman into a “godlike figure” and delved into the North Korean media landscape in the United States.

Carson said they have come for the United States because it makes it easier to move us to a one world government.

When asked if the tens of millions of people brought in would affect the vote, Dr. Carson said, “Of course it will…. Continue reading

‘Proud’ Barack Obama Endorses Kamala Harris for President

“Obama’s scheming has spectacularly backfired”

(Simon Kent – Breitbart) Former U.S. President Barack Obama issued a statement Friday morning endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic 2024 presidential nominee. The move ended days of speculation over whether he would support her after she was anointed by the party.

Obama and ex-First Lady Michelle Obama said in a joint missive they believe Harris has the “vision, the character, and the strength that this critical moment demands.” Continue reading

In the last days difficult times will come

16 These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of their own benefit.17 But you, beloved, must remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, 18 that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” 19 These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, not having the Spirit. Jude 1:16-19 (LSB) 

There is a vast, eternal difference between the natural man mindset and the transformed mindset. Only regenerate believers can have the latter while the former is the mindset of everyone else. The transformed mindset should be growing more and more apparent to the believer as they learn to be spirit-filled and walk in obedience to his or her Lord. Now we will take a look at end result of those with the natural man mindset as God gives them up. Continue reading

The ‘Free Palestine’ Nazis Get More Unhinged With Each Protest

“Make no mistake, the mobs are empowered by every Democrat who equivocates over the Israel/Hamas war. Harris and her colleagues may as well be passing out the Palestinian flags at the protests.” 

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Wednesday to address Congress, and his appearance ended up being an in-kind contribution to the Trump-Vance ’24 campaign.

While the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media have been furiously rewriting the Kamala Harris story, the “Free Palestine” Hitler Youth stormed the nation’s capital to remind voters exactly what’s at stake in this election…. Continue reading

Trying to gut the court?

(Jerry Newcombe – RenewAmerica) Bad ideas can often get accepted long after they were initially rejected. One generation recoils at a proposal. The next generation might cozy up to it. And the one after that might accept it.

Some on the left, including the lame duck President Joe Biden and AOC, want to gut the Supreme Court. They haven’t gotten their way with the Court in recent years, so they want to try and term-limit justices out. Continue reading

Elon Musk: ‘Woke Mind Virus’ Led to Estrangement from ‘Transgender’ Son

Elon Musk says his son is “dead” thanks to the woke mind virus after he was put on puberty blockers, says he vowed to “destroy the woke mind virus after that.”

(Lucas Nolan – Breitbart) Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has attributed the estrangement from his “transgender” son to what he terms the “woke mind virus,” explaining this experience has caused him to “vow to destroy the woke mind virus.”

In a recent interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and owner of X (formerly Twitter), made strong statements regarding his estranged “transgender” son and the state of gender politics in America…. Continue reading

A Divine Perspective of Christian suffering

6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:6-7 (LSB) 

On Facebook I have dropped out of nearly all of the discussion groups of which I have been a member for last several years. I am still a member of some, but those are tightly controlled by admins who do not tolerate troll behavior. On the other hand, those which I have left are loosely run and certain people have entered in with destructive agendas meant to divide us and cause much angst…. Continue reading

Heritage Oversight Project Tracked Crooks’s Visitors

“They went to work on Thomas Crooks, the would-be Trump assassin, an unlikely candidate for recruitment by a third party, or is he?”

(Mary Dowling) During the grilling of Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle yesterday, she refused to say if there was a second shooter and referred that and most questions to the FBI, a weaponized agency of the government. Her response added to speculation.

According to officials at his high school who posted information about him on their website, Crooks was a good student who was not bullied. It is different from the media narrative based on some student interviews. Continue reading

Secret Service Director Resigns

“After the hearing, Chairman James Comer and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin wrote a joint letter to Cheatle calling for her resignation.” 

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) After overseeing the worst security failure in the past four decades, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned.

The decision comes more than a week after an attempted assassin shot former President Donald Trump in the ear from an unsecured rooftop during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Continue reading

2019 Ranking Service Rated Kamala Harris as Most Liberal Senator, Further Left than Even Bernie Sanders

“In a list of all 100 senators in 2019, Harris scored #100, winning the title of the most leftist senator. For greater perspective, Sanders came in right behind her at #99.”

(Hannah Knudsen – Breitbart) Vice President Kamala Harris was rated the most liberal senator in 2019 — further left than even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — according to a GovTrack scorecard.

Harris, whom President Joe Biden opted to back after announcing that he will not seek reelection after all, was viewed as the most liberal senator prior to her becoming vice president. Continue reading

ERLC Chooses Democrat Party Over Southern Baptists

Update below.

“ERLC head Brent Leatherwood offered the same talking points as the left-wing media and Democrat Party, telling Baptist Press that Biden “walked away from power” in a “selfless act.” Leatherwood then gave further life to this lie in an essay that compared the Oval Office being pried from Biden’s desperate, bony fingers to Calvin Coolidge’s measured choice not to run again though Coolidge enjoyed enough popularity to win reelection handily.”

(Megan Basham – Clear Truth Media) Immediately after Joe Biden posted a statement on social media Sunday announcing his withdrawal from the presidential race, Democrats, the media, and Hollywood pretended it was the result of selflessness rather than political assassination. Continue reading

The Sovereignty of God in the Suffering of His People – Man looks at the External, but God looks at the Heart

4 So Samuel did what Yahweh said and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him and said, “Do you come in peace?” 5 And he said, “In peace; I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh. Set yourselves apart as holy and come with me to the sacrifice.” He also set apart Jesse and his sons as holy and invited them to the sacrifice. 6 Now it happened, when they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, “Surely the anointed of Yahweh is before Him.” 7 But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:4-7 (LSB) 

In our study of God’s sovereignty in the suffering of His people from the book of Job, let’s look at Job and his family before affliction overtook them. However, before we look at that please look closely at the passage I placed at the top of this post. Samuel, by God’s direction, went to Bethlehem to anoint the next king of Israel from the sons of Jesse…. Continue reading

Obama’s Backstabbing Of Biden Demonstrates The Democrat Party’s Moral Bankruptcy

“Democrats aren’t worried that Biden’s cognitive decline is a real, serious, and immediate threat to national security. They only fretted about Biden’s electoral ability to carry a far-left administration forward for another term.” 

(Tristan Justice – The Federalist) Democrats just spent years grandstanding on “democracy” and then dismissed more than 14 million voters who nominated President Joe Biden for a second term.

On Sunday, the Democrat Party’s presumptive nominee was “deposed in a coup,” as tech billionaire David Sacks said it, at the direction of former President Barack Obama, who was obviously behind the entire operation…. Continue reading

Where’s Joe? What’s Going On? Is Any of This Really Happening?

“Is he so far gone at this point that he has to be kept under wraps while others, presumably the people who have been running this administration from the beginning, make decisions in his name? That wouldn’t be too different from how things have been going, but up until now, Old Joe has, however ineptly, been performing his duties as the front man. Now, for his most important announcement of this election campaign, he is nowhere in sight and all we get is a letter on X?”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Old Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday afternoon. Everyone saw his post on X. In a follow-up message on X, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidential nomination, and Democrat leaders began lining up (with the notable exception of Barack Obama) to endorse her. The controversy over Biden’s dementia and ability to perform the duties of president appears to be over, although the nagging and quite large issue remains of whether he is able to perform the duties of president for the next seven months. And yet almost immediately, questions about the way Biden withdrew began to swirl, including the basic one: did he really withdraw at all? Continue reading

Can Christians really vote for Trump?

“The GOP is doing its best this year to embody the coexist bumper sticker, and while I’m no political expert, I’m very certain of this truth: pagans gonna pagan. My contention is that no mature believer should be the least surprised by this.” 

(Mike Edwards – Clear Truth Media) The 2024 Republican National Convention took place this week and, for some reason, many Christians were under the impression that a Christian worship service was the order of the day. But instead of Chris Tomlin coming out and singing “How Great is Our God,” delegates and other attendees got a steady influx of the likes of reality TV stars such as Amber Rose – also equally known for her coarse language when advocating for abortion – showing their support for Trump. Continue reading

Joe Biden Quitting Exposes Three Years of Corporate Media Lies

“They saw the videos we saw, and then they lied about them to protect a man they knew wasn’t fit to serve as president. What’s more, they saw Biden a lot more than we did. They saw him at political events, at gatherings… They saw him at the White House… They talked to the people around them… They knew more than we did and still they covered up this obvious danger to our country.”

(John Nolte – Breitbart) Joe Biden himself finally admitting he is in no condition to run for reelection is the smoking gun that definitively proves the corporate media have been lying and covering up the truth of his condition for years. Continue reading

The best place to be

7 Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! 8 Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions and hardships, for the sake of Christ, for when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (LSB) Read Philippians 4:10-13 on the site.

I believe that what ails the visible Church the most at this time in the early 21st Century is actually the root of most, if not all, of the growing apostasy we are witnessing. This ailment is the product of decades of poor doctrine and man-serving preaching and teaching…. Continue reading

Fear and Uncertainty

“Although we rejoice in Christ’s victory over the grave, we nevertheless fear death. Christians are not guaranteed exemption from a painful death. Nevertheless, the thought of death often brings fear for Christians and non-Christians alike. That fear is bound up with the question of what happens after death.”

(R.C. Sproul – Ligonier Ministries) Death is the greatest problem human beings encounter. We may try to tuck thoughts of it away in the far corners of our minds, but we cannot completely erase our awareness of our mortality. We know that the specter of death awaits us.

The Apostle Paul writes: Continue reading

Put Away Your Conspiracy Theories: Christ Reigns

“One of the psychological attractions of conspiracy theories is the same thing that attracts people to Gnosticism: the thrill of secret knowledge, knowing something that mere ordinary people do not know. This is part of the attraction of movements like QAnon.”

(R. Scott Clark – The Heidelblog) There is a risk in writing about fast-changing news. As of this writing, we do not know why a disturbed young man tried to murder the former president of the United States. He appears to have been a loner, bullied, who lashed out by climbing upon an unguarded roof about 150 yards from Donald Trump. His shot missed Mr Trump but he murdered someone in the crowd behind Mr Trump and injured others. Continue reading

Catastrophic Failure of July 13 Is Even Worse Than We Knew

“A Wall Street Journal report notes that the killer had a drone that he used to survey the property. Meanwhile, the Secret Service did not have a drone.”

(Mary Dowling) If you think this catastrophic Secret Service failure can’t get worse, think again. This is what happens when you put Jill Biden’s sociologist friend Kim Cheatle in charge of the Secret Service. Cheatle also protected Dick Cheney who hates the former president. Continue reading
