24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! Matthew 23:24 (NASB)
A huge trap that Christians can fall into is self-righteousness. It is a form of idolatry and that always causes spiritual blindness (Romans 1:24-25). Self-righteousness puts all effort towards godliness in the wrong place. It creates a form of piety that is all about outward appearances while putting little or no priority on matters of the heart. It is all about being concerned about appearances and what others think rather than being totally committed to abiding in Christ from within first…. Continue reading
The truth is that President Biden is unable to govern. That’s what’s spooking the financial markets. It was painful watching him last week trying to describe Russia as a “plutocracy” and a “kleptocracy.” The President could not get those words out of his mouth, and his verbal attack became “stumble-ocracy.”
The signatories claim Musk “will further toxify our information ecosystem and be a direct threat to public safety.”…Musk replied: “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The trial of former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann will take place soon, and on Wednesday, special counsel John Durham scored a huge pre-trial victory.
“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history, in recent American history.”
“Confirming the lies that willful sinners engage in is not the job of a Christian. We don’t confirm error; we call it out. Men cannot have husbands, and women cannot have wives. Men cannot marry men, in God’s mind, nor can women marry women. Marriage is a contract established by God, between one man and one woman, and confused Christians do not negate that fact.”
“As we reported last week, Tim Keller is relentlessly downplaying the seriousness of abortion while urging churches and their congregations not to divide over the “political” issue of abortion.”
“Roe is unconstitutional. Turning it over to the states is the right thing to do. This way the people can vote for their own abortion laws.”
(Beriit Kjos) Today’s “progressive” emerging churches have little love for the old certainties that have grounded genuine Christians in God’s revealed truth for 2000 years. They say those precious guidelines don’t fit the new dialectic and collective ways of thinking. Today’s entertainment-driven Christians prefer “feel good” assurances stripped of unwanted references to sin, guilt, or moral boundaries.
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The legal battle over whether or not Fusion GPS provided services other than “opposition research” in the Durham investigation is likely to end in a victory for the prosecution. That’s according to attorney TechnoFog who provides accurate filings and analyses on Twitter and
(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Welcome to Insanity Wrap, your weekly dose of the best of the worst. After SCOTUS knocks down Roe v Wade, here comes the real insurrection.
“None of this information that I am providing is “prophetic” through some special revelation: it is what the radical neo-Marxists have done in every organization that they have absorbed in their “long march through the institutions.” And one of the most important “institutions” for the radical neo-Marxists to control was – without a doubt – religion. They must control both education and religion. Moms are fighting for education: Christians are willing to give the Marxists the Church.”
(Breitbart) A draft Supreme Court opinion overruling Roe v. Wade has been leaked to the press in one of the greatest scandals to ever hit the nation’s highest court and a possible attempt to intimidate one or more justices to reverse their vote or to ignite a liberal brushfire to pack the Supreme Court before Democrats lose Congress in November.
(The Dissenter) The long-awaited film,
The New Apostolic Reformation…is a rapidly expanding movement being generated by some of the same old troubling false teachers and false leaders that have been around in Charismania for decades, always dishonoring the Holy Spirit, always dishonoring the Scripture, always claiming miracle signs, wonders, visions, dreams. ~ John MacArthur
“So for the skeptics think about this level of proof, the property of the state the crimes took place in demonstrating hundreds of thousands of felonies. No explanation needed the evidence exists and literally speaks for itself.”
(Rick Becker – Famine in the Land) Bethel Church are currently promoting their upcoming Healing School (May 10-13, 2022). “Activations, impartation, and miracles, miracles, miracles” don’t come cheap at Bethel. It beggars belief that Bethel have the audacity to charge $165 per individual for a slice of pie in the sky. Their “pie in the sky” is the false teaching that physical healing in this life is guaranteed in the atonement. The reality is that despite all their efforts, encounters, and impartations, their teaching has had no impact on their own lives. Some of Bethel’s leadership are suffering from minor or life threatening diseases, but dare point that out and you’ll be accused of being callous, insensitive, and cruel. Yet the most cruel thing to do, is to blame someone for their failure to be healed. Bill Johnson’s forked tongue may fool some, but the contradiction is as clear as day….
It’s “existential. They can’t find food, they can’t fill up their car, they don’t feel safe when they go into a big city, they don’t feel their kids are being educated or they are being propagandized so it’s a 360 -24/7 phenomenon. It’s a totalitarian effort.”
“The secretary of Homeland Security does not know the answer to the status of 42 individuals who came to our southern border illegally [who] are on the no-fly list and the terrorist watch list.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter. —George Washington
(Protestia) Jen Hatmaker, the popular I’m-pretending-to-be-a-Christian-but-I’m-actually-a-pagan mommy-blogger and podcaster that is quickly climbing the ranks from “Gadfly False Teacher” to “Arch-Heretic,” has continued to out herself as a vessel of inhabitation for shifty-eyed swine who’d rather not go off a cliff, reflecting on her spiritual transition from jewel to Jezebel and as she awakens herself to the mystery of “The Feminine Divine.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Perhaps the most influential pastor in the last thirty years is Rick Warren. This is not because of Rick Warren’s theology or teaching. Rather, Rick Warren is a church growth guru and his Purpose Driven Church has been used as a template for building seeker sensitive churches. In the last few years, Rick Warren has made it abundantly clear that he is a wolf via
“Joe Biden lives in a dream world, of that I am certain. And part of that construct is looking away from vexing problems. Like chaos at the southern border. Like horrendous violent crime. Like progressive indoctrination of students.”
