According to Whipple’s reporting, Pelosi privately acknowledged Biden’s declining mental state while publicly defending him. During a May 2024 White House visit for her Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony, Pelosi was reportedly “startled” by what she saw. Continue reading
27 And after that He went out and noticed a tax collector named Levi sitting in the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me.” 28 And he left everything behind, and rose up and began to follow Him.
29 And Levi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a great crowd of tax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them. 30 And the Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling at His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?” 31 And Jesus answered and said to them, “It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:27-32 (LSB)
I had someone ask me not long ago how our salvation could be totally by Grace alone through faith alone, totally God’s work alone if it involved our repentance. My response to him was that the repentance part was our response to our Lord’s call, ἀκολούθει μοι, “Follow me.”… Continue reading
(Mary Dowling) A new massive study of 85 million people, COVID-19 vaccination and cardiovascular events: a systematic review and Bayesian multivariate meta–analysis of preventive, benefits, and risk, was published in the March edition of the International Journal of Preventive Medicine.
It is a peer-reviewed analysis of 85 million people. The researchers uncovered a profoundly concerning rise in life-threatening cardiovascular events following COVID-19 vaccination.
It leaves serious questions about the long-term health impacts of mRNA (Pfizer and Moderna) and viral vector vaccines (AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson). Continue reading
“Discernment grows through a combination of biblical knowledge, practical wisdom, and spiritual maturity. Conversely, discernment falters when someone doesn’t know the bible very well, doesn’t walk in biblical wisdom, and is spiritually immature.”
(Michael Clary – Clear Truth Media) I’ve been in ministry for over twenty years. Early on, there were lots of voices in the evangelical world telling pastors what they needed to succeed. We were told Christians should not seek power, lest they make it an idol. We were told that preaching “political” sermons turns off non-believers, so it’s best to keep our views to ourselves. Above all else, we were told, we must be winsome. That’s the key to reaching lost people, especially in urban contexts. Continue reading
“A nation without borders isn’t a nation. It’s a bus station. And right now, the SBC leadership looks less like a band of spiritual shepherds and more like the world’s most gullible Uber drivers, shuttling lawbreakers straight into the heart of a nation they seem determined to dismantle.”
(The Dissenter) There it is, in black and white. Thirteen ethnic fellowships within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) have officially declared what many of us have been saying all along. When it comes to our nation’s borders, they think enforcement is mean, deportation is cruel, and illegal immigration is basically just a minor paperwork error away from sainthood. Continue reading
(John Solomon – Just the News) Two new bombshell reports this week pointed to a cover-up by the Biden-era Pentagon related to the search for COVID-19’s origins. New information is spilling out years after the fact and pointing to Wuhan and its coronavirus lab as the origin of the pandemic all along.
First, a newly-released Department of Defense (DoD) report, made public only in recent days by the Trump-led Pentagon, showed that the Defense Department never formally investigated the possibility that U.S. service members may have been infected with COVID-19 during the World Military Games in Wuhan in the fall of 2019. Continue reading
(Emma Colton – Fox Business) President Donald Trump previewed on Tuesday evening that the pharmaceutical industry will be the next to face a “major” tariff.
“We’re going to tariff our pharmaceuticals. And once we do that, they’re going to come rushing back into our country, because we’re a big market. The advantage we have over everybody, is that we’re the big market,” Trump said on Tuesday evening during the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual presidential dinner. Continue reading
“NewSpring boasts over 10,000 members and thirteen campuses. Thirteen stages. Thirteen giving kiosks. Thirteen live-streamed sermons dressed up in leather jackets and emotional manipulation. That kind of operation pays dues. That kind of machine oils the SBC gears. When they leave, it’s not theology that’s threatened—it’s funding. It’s influence. It’s access. It’s market share.”
(The Dissenter) Good riddance! There, I said it. NewSpring Church has officially joined the ranks of spiritual circus tents that have packed up and left the Southern Baptist Convention, and frankly, the SBC should be sending them a thank-you note, not a love letter. Continue reading
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The left has become so radicalized by its hatred of Donald Trump that it is beyond the point of differentiating between right and wrong. As we previously reported, a recent study from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) found roughly half of the political left think that assassinating Donald Trump or Elon Musk is morally justifiable.
“What was formerly taboo culturally has become acceptable,” explained Joel Finkelstein, the founder of NCRI. “We are seeing a clear shift — glorification, increased attempts, and changing norms—all converging into what we define as ‘assassination culture.’” Continue reading
The Collision of God and Sin
By Oswald Chambers
From My Utmost for His Highest devotional for April 6th.
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)
There is nothing more certain in time or eternity than what Jesus Christ did upon the cross. He made redemption the basis of human life, restoring the whole of humanity to a right relationship with God. The cross of Jesus stands unique and alone. It is not the cross of a man or a woman; it is the cross of God, the exhibition of his nature. No parallel to it exists in human experience. Continue reading
“He teaches us when he says in his Word about being content in all situations because he’s working out his plan and his purposes for his glory and our good, and I believe that because the Bible says that. It doesn’t mean there’s no pain, but content and knowing that God’s in control: a sovereign God’s in control, working out his plan and his purpose.”
(Ben Zeisloft – The Sentinel) astronaut Butch Wilmore has pointed toward his Christian faith in the days since he and colleague Suni Williams returned to earth following several months of being stranded in space. Continue reading
“I just had a great call with the Acting President of South Korea. We talked about their tremendous and unsustainable Surplus, Tariffs, Shipbuilding, large scale purchase of U.S. LNG, their joint venture in an Alaska Pipeline, and payment for the big time Military Protection we provide to South Korea….”
(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) Speaking from the White House during an interview with Fox News Tuesday morning, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hasset revealed dozens of countries are pounding on the door for a tariff deal and that managing the number of requests for meetings is becoming difficult. Continue reading
“I’m not saying that obedience always brings happiness and sin sadness. Yet the Bible teaches again and again that “the way of transgressors is hard” (Prov. 13:15 KJV) and “thorns and snares are in the way of the crooked” (Prov. 22:5).”
(J. Garrett Kell – Crossway) The Battle with Sin
One catechism defines sin this way: “What is sin? Sin is rejecting or ignoring God in the world he created, not being or doing what he requires in his law.”1 Or as artist Shai Linne says, “What is sin? Sin is the breaking of God’s law plus our condition, which means from birth we all got flaws.” Continue reading
Attorney General Pam Bondi responded to the Supreme Court’s decision and described it as a “landmark victory for the rule of law. An activist judge in Washington, DC does not have the jurisdiction to seize control of President Trump’s authority to conduct foreign policy and keep the American people safe. The Department of Justice will continue fighting in court to make America safe again.”
(Elizabeth Weibel – Breitbart) The Supreme Court of the United States lifted a block from U.S. District Judges James Boasberg, which prevented the Trump administration from deporting suspected illegal alien gang members under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Continue reading
“Stop complaining about tariffs, expecting miraculous results after only a few days. A person who is overweight, unhealthy, and addicted to junk food won’t suddenly become healthy after just a week of dieting and exercising. Be patient, and don’t get wobbly. The tariffs from Trump’s first term did not trigger the predicted inflation. Allow the process to unfold instead of reacting with hair-on-fire histrionics.”
(Brian Joondeph – American Thinker) British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once reprimanded President George H.W. Bush with: “This is no time to go wobbly.”
A variation of those words, for MAGA now, seem appropriate.
Thatcher’s words occurred in 1990 when Bush considered how to respond to Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait – whether to adopt a military response or not. Continue reading
“They were marketed as relatable, down-to-earth, and winsome—code, of course, for doctrinally neutered, emotionally indulgent, and conveniently soft on everything that matters. Their rise wasn’t organic. It was orchestrated. If Christian publishing were a dating app, these lady-preachers were the algorithm-approved matches for a generation of women who think discernment is a spiritual gift for mean people.”
(The Dissenter) It’s been said that if you want to see the theological temperature of the modern American church, you don’t go to the pulpit—you go to the fellowship hall, where a circle of women sit cradling pastel-covered workbooks with Beth Moore’s name stamped across the front like a branding iron. The giggles are warm, the tears are real, the coffee is mediocre, and the doctrine is nowhere to be found. Continue reading
“Some had come from churches whose mystical practices, though alleged to be biblical, were not all that different than the mystical practices of the paganism they have embraced. Some people found more acceptance and community among the pagans. One of our team spent time in the hospitality room of the Satanists, and one of the first things the Satanists told him was that approximately 50% of their members are LGBTQA+ and Transgender.”
(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwestern Christian Outreach) Some have asked why we attend events like Paganicon. After all, we are Christians, not pagans. Some of the leadership at Paganicon asked us the same question; why were we attending their event? They were concerned we might stir up trouble…. Continue reading
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) A disturbing new report has uncovered a troubling trend: violent political rhetoric — including open calls for the assassination of public figures like President Donald Trump and Elon Musk — is rapidly becoming normalized on the left.
According to the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), more people are now not only rationalizing politically motivated violence but celebrating it as some twisted form of social justice. The shift is alarming, and the data shows that it’s been accelerating in recent months. Continue reading
35 Jesus heard that they threw him out and having found him said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 The man answered and said, “And who is He Sir, that I may believe in Him?” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen Him and He is the One speaking with you.” 38 And he said, “I believe Lord.” And he worshiped Him. And 39 Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world that the ones who do not see may see and the ones who see may become blind.” (John 9:35-39 translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)
In the Word of God, light is associated God’s way, His truth, what is right, et cetera. Darkness is the antithesis of light in this sense. While those who walk in God’s light walk in His truth, those who walk in darkness, walk in ignorance of His truth, of His ways…. Continue reading
Following is an excerpt from “Gladiator-style takedown of demonic forces, part 1”:
A large number of Christians throughout the world consider themselves to be spiritual warfare prayer warriors. What they do is known as “intercessory prayer.” Most likely these prayer warriors are connected to a deliverance ministry. Deliverance ministers use “strategic level prayer” to “bind” the “territorial spirits” to remove demons who are in control of organizations, communities, cities and in some cases entire nations so that evangelism will go unimpeded. These demon fighting gladiators believe that poverty and other societal troubles will not be eliminated until “demonic strongholds” are torn down and demons are “bound.”
The aim of the Spiritual Warfare movement (SWM) is to take “dominion” over societal institutions and government. Once they have accomplished this lofty goal they’ll take over the kingdoms of this world and build a literal Kingdom of God on earth. This is known as Kingdom Theology.

“The story of Norm Eisen—a key architect of nearly every attempt to delegitimize, impeach, censor, sue, and remove the democratically elected 45th President of the United States—is a tale that winds through nearly every facet of the color revolution playbook.”
(Revolver) After you finish this blog, you’ll be asking the million-dollar question: Why is Chief Justice John Roberts hanging out with the Deep State’s #1 color revolution architect?
Turns out the left’s favorite “Republican” has some very interesting buddies. Continue reading
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) As President Donald Trump attempts to enact the agenda that Americans elected him to do, a serious showdown is brewing with federal judges who have taken it upon themselves to challenge his directives.
Officials close to the administration are signaling that activist judges who oppose Trump’s orders may soon face accountability for their rogue decisions after yet another activist judge blocked its efforts to remove intelligence agency employees connected to DEI programs. Continue reading
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray on behalf of one another so that you may be cured. The petition of the righteous, being effective, has great power. (James 5:16 translated from the NA28 Greek text)
My ability to serve God in this ministry is now, and has always been, within a very specific framework. Whether I am working on apologetics or discernment or a Bible Study, or anything else, it must be for God’s glory alone and for the edification of the Body of Christ. I can only do these things if it is God’s will for me to do them and as my will to do them is lined up with His in this regard…. Continue reading
“For far too long, scientists scoffed at the notion of near-death experiences being anything more than the random firing of neurons when the brain begins to die or, because the experience has been so well documented and has become part of the culture, that near-death survivors are reporting on myths they heard before their experience.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) Five years ago, last Sunday evening, I was getting ready for bed when I stopped breathing. I experienced a massive heart attack or a myocardial infarction. Doctors referred to this kind of heart attack as a “widow maker.” Continue reading

(Ben Zeisloft – The Sentinel) Dr. Coleman Boyd, a longtime physician and Christian anti-abortion activist, is the father of thirteen children, nine of whom were born to him and his wife and four of whom were adopted.
When a bill to establish equal protection for preborn babies was debated in Georgia last week, he brought his almost two-year-old daughter, Hadassah, from their home in Mississippi to the hearing in Atlanta, contending that the legislation should be passed to save children like her.
That is because Hadassah was conceived in rape by a thirteen-year-old mother who chose life for her daughter. Boyd told state lawmakers in Georgia that the life of his little girl was worth protecting in the same manner as every other human being who bears the image of God. Continue reading
