Could Elevation Church Replace the Scandal-Plagued Hillsong on the World Stage?

Steven Furtick is a charismatic Word of Faith pastor who has aligned himself with many of the giants in the prosperity gospel, including Word of Faith Oneness pastor, T.D. Jakes, and has been praised by former Hillsong NYC [disgraced] pastor, Carl Lentz who stated, “your church and your life are such good examples of what happens when you mix unadulterated focus on JESUS, ferocious faith and availability with the grace of God…absolutely anything is possible.”

(Reformation Charlotte) As Hillsong Church has been plagued by multiple scandals over the last several years including its latest scandal involving its top leader, Brian Houston, the international organization now appears to be crumbling before our eyes opening the doors for another corporate conglomerate to fill its shoes.

What Convinced James His Brother Was God?

The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.  Deuteronomy 32:4

By Robby Lashua

My brother isn’t God. It’s pretty obvious (we grew up together, after all), and nothing he could do or say could convince me of his divinity. I’m not God, either, and nothing I could do or say would convince him otherwise, too.

Yet somehow, Jesus convinced his brother he was God. And James was so confident, he was willing to die for his belief. How did Jesus do it? What convinced his own brother to acknowledge Jesus was God and worship him? Continue reading

Durham releases former Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann’s text message, says he put ‘lie in writing’

“Clinton, in the tweet, also shared a statement from her campaign’s senior policy advisor Jake Sullivan, who now serves as President Biden’s White House National Security advisor.”

(Fox News) Special Counsel John Durham, in a filing late Monday, released what may prove to be a crucial piece of evidence in the case against former Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann—a text message he sent to the former FBI general counsel the eve of their September 2016 meeting stating “the same lie in writing” that the information he would share would be “not on behalf of a client or company.” Continue reading

Happiness is the Truth

“Your humble correspondent believes America is a noble nation, but significant corruption is affecting our collective happiness. There are too many fanatics among us, and their actions can lead to oppression and suppression. Those things badly damage the happy pursuit.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Putting aside all the unhappiness over politics and social disagreements, all Americans should understand the concept that divides us. It is “the pursuit of happiness.”

But what’s that? Well, it’s in the Declaration of Independence right after “life, liberty.” Those concepts are self-evident, the Founders wrote. But the pursuit of happiness deal is a bit trickier. Continue reading

TrueAnon: It’s not a conspiracy theory if there really is a conspiracy.

“It all starts to sound very quickly like grooming on a mass scale, glossed over with a sinister veneer of tolerance and fun. In other words, a hyper-powerful cabal of monied predators.” 

(Spencer Klavan – The American Mind) Conspiracy theories aren’t dangerous when they get things wrong: they’re dangerous when they get things right.

QAnon—the online game of interdimensional chess in which Donald Trump does covert battle with a hyper-powerful cabal of monied pedophiles—is factually false in almost every particular. Justin Bieber is not sending a coded message about being sex trafficked because he touched his hat on Instagram. Donald Trump was not reinstated as president on August 13…. Continue reading

Perry Stone under investigation by Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, report claims

(Anugrah Kumar – Christian Post) Two years after being accused of sexual misconduct by several women, televangelist and Bible teacher Perry Stone is under investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, according to a report.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) has a list of at least nine alleged victims and has interviewed at least five people, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reports. Continue reading

Are You Asking the Right Questions?

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. James 1:5-8

Sometimes it is less important to have the right answers than to have the right questions. A man named Saul thought he did not need to ask any questions. He had all the answers. The most important question, according to Saul, was “How can I be good enough for God?” He thought he had that answer down cold. Continue reading

Ex-Lesbian Featured in Anti-Prosperity ‘American Gospel’ Film Goes Full Prosperity Gospel

“God primarily deals with me in dreams. I’ve been enlightened, warned, and led to intercede for others through them. But lately, I’ve had an increase of “inner unctions” by the Spirit, that arise in prayer, about people I know and don’t know. It’s deep.”

(Reformation Charlotte) The prosperity gospel, also known as Word of Faith, is a movement inextricably linked with the charismatic dreams and visions movements including various streams of Pentecostalism as well the New Apostolic Reformation…. Continue reading

Former Trans Person Slams Biden for Promoting ‘Institutionalized Child Abuse’

(Emily Robertson – CNSNews) The Biden Administration is engaging in “institutionalized child abuse” by encouraging children to transition genders, Walt Heyer, who was formerly transgender, argued to Fox News host Laura Ingraham Thursday.

Ingraham invited Heyer, who was born a biological male, transitioned to female at the age of 17, and then detransitioned some years later, on The Ingraham Angle to share his regret of transitioning along with addressing the consequences of parents and the government encouraging children to transition. Continue reading

TikTok Pastor Declares ‘Jesus isn’t the only way to salvation’

Robertson’s tutelage as a self-styled “public theologian” seems light years from evangelical Christianity: Jesus isn’t the only way to salvation. Hell doesn’t exist. He doesn’t know “what happened after the crucifixion”. 

(Jeffrey Walton – Juicy Ecumenism) Jesus isn’t the only way to salvation, insists TikTok pastor Brandan Robertson, whose progressive preaching on the Chinese-owned and video-focused social networking service has reached millions. Continue reading

Do our prayers change God’s mind?

Does prayer make any difference? Does it really change anything? Someone once asked me that question, only in a slightly different manner: “Does prayer change God’s mind?” My answer brought storms of protest. I said simply, “No.” Now, if the person had asked me, “Does prayer change things?” I would have answered, “Of course!”

The Bible says there are certain things God has decreed from all eternity. Those things will inevitably come to pass. If you were to pray individually or if you and I were to join forces in prayer or if all the Christians of the world were to pray collectively, it “would not change what God, in His hidden counsel, has determined to do. If we decided to pray for Jesus not to return, He still would return…. Continue reading

Twisting Scripture

Martin Luther’s ministry as a reformer was in the early 16th Century. However, even back then people were trying to force their own man-made doctrines on the Bible. Nothing has changed. People still do this. The use of the Bible this way is always eisegetical. That is, it is reading into the text that which is not there. This does violence to the authority of scripture and its inerrancy. Every heresy started this way. Also, much of the rebellion against traditional churches these days is born within those who believe that established denominations are guilty of doing the same thing…. Continue reading

Biden Wants to Replace Border Detention Centers with ‘House Arrest’ and Provide Illegals with Taxpayer-Funded Attorneys

(Penny Starr – Breitbart) Joe Biden continues to import illegals into the United States and wants funds to put migrant border crossers under “house arrest” and provide them with taxpayer-funded attorneys to fight deportation.

The move will make the numbers at detention centers decrease while the illegal population will continue to grow inside the U.S. and will provide a road map for relatives and others who are trying to get into the U.S. Continue reading

Does God Love Everybody?

“It’s better to follow the approach of the apostles and early church in the book of Acts.  They simply preached the gospel along with the call for people to repent and believe in Jesus Christ.  The word “love” isn’t used at all in the book of Acts, and we certainly don’t hear the apostles telling unbelievers that God loves them.”

(Wes Bredenhof) A parishioner asked me whether God loves everyone. She was discussing this with a friend. The friend insisted that God doesn’t love everyone — he only loves believers. My parishioner’s gut reaction was to disagree. This was my response: Continue reading

Alert! The WHO’s Planning a Global Treaty for a Great Reset

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The globalists are keeping the pandemic going even though it is clearly over as a pandemic. There is a reason for that. The WHO is attempting to push through a treaty that would give them global control over health that answers some of the goals of the WEF’s Great Reset.

We better hope the Senate rejects this treaty and doesn’t go along with a deal like they did with the Paris Accords. Continue reading

Public Schools Are Cesspools of Debauchery. Get Your Kids Out Now, Before It’s Too Late

(Paula Bolyard – PJ Media) If there’s one thing we’ve learned during the pandemic it’s that many parents had no idea what was going on in their kids’ schools. Oh, parents knew there was crazy stuff going on in other schools, but by and large, there was a sense of NIMBY — it’s not happening in my backyard. Sadly, we’ve become increasingly aware of the abuses and indoctrination children across the country are suffering at the hands of unhinged teachers — teachers pushing their left-wing political agendas, encouraging children to be sexual deviants, and treating parents like they are not qualified to raise their own children without the state intervening in their families. Continue reading

Whom Shall I Fear?

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”-Psalm 27:1

“The Lord is my light and my salvation.” Here is personal interest, “my light,” “my salvation”; the soul is assured of it, and therefore declares it boldly. Into the soul at the new birth divine light is poured as the precursor of salvation; where there is not enough light to reveal our own darkness and to make us long for the Lord Jesus, there is no evidence of salvation…. Continue reading

The Dangerous Legal Structures of Hillsong Church

(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) Jesus once told a parable about two different people constructing houses. One built on a foundation of stone and the other on sand. When the rains came the house built on sand collapsed. The foundation was critical for a lasting home. In the parable, the foundation represented the words of Jesus and obeying them.

In a similar manner Hillsong Church was constructed on a foundation of sand.

Australian pastors Brian and Bobbie Houston founded Hillsong in Australia and launched a bold strategy to plant churches internationally. Continue reading

Disney’s Core Audience Isn’t Families, It’s Socially Awkward Adult Fandoms

“Kids can go away. Disney’s audience is socially awkward adults who actually hate kids. And yes, they’re exactly the sorts of folks who think schools sexually grooming young children is the best thing ever.”  

(Daniel Greenfield – Frontpage Magazine) Marvel’s movie sausage factory has scored over $25 billion worldwide.

Disney’s theme parks are still profitable, in the billions, but they’re one of the least profitable elements of the Mouse Empire. (Forget Mickey and Donald, even Disney may not be able to bribe enough D.C. politicians to hang on to the IP rights.) Continue reading

Why Is Everybody Ganging Up on Poor Hunter Biden?

“It has become obvious in recent years that America has a two-tier justice system, with Democrats and Leftists walking or getting light penalties (think Hillary Clinton and Jussie Smollett) for serious offenses, while law enforcement authorities go on fishing expeditions to find something, anything, they can hang on Donald Trump or other dissenters from the Leftist agenda.”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) After stories of Hunter Biden, his laptop from hell, and his massive web of shady dealings were ignored until Old Joe Biden was safely installed as pseudo-president of the United States and long after that as well, suddenly the Hunter Biden stories are everywhere….

With his stripes we are healed

“With his stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5

Pilate delivered our Lord to the lictors to be scourged. The Roman scourge was a most dreadful instrument of torture. It was made of the sinews of oxen, and sharp bones were inter-twisted every here and there among the sinews; so that every time the lash came down these pieces of bone inflicted fearful laceration, and tore off the flesh from the bone. The Saviour was, no doubt, bound to the column, and thus beaten. He had been beaten before; but this of the Roman lictors was probably the most severe of his flagellations. My soul, stand here and weep over his poor stricken body. Continue reading

Leaked documents show how teachers recruit students, form gay and transgender clubs in schools

The packet also asks teachers to list supporters and enemies of these clubs. One section is dedicated to listing the names of allies who “would support this project.” Another section is provided to identify any existential threats to the club and to list those who could be a “barrier to your success.”

(Christopher Tremoglie – Washington Examiner) Imagine a scenario in which your child comes home from school and tells you that they now identify as “pansexual.” Or, while telling you about the school day, your child mentions that he or she was told he or she was gay based on a test a teacher gave them….

Deadly Cover-Up: Who Buried the Research Proving Ivermectin Saves Covid Patients’ Lives

“Although Justice is sometimes slow to come about, and nothing can bring back all the people who died, several states are now considering bills to allow Ivermectin to be reclassified as an over-the-counter medication.”

(Faye Higbee – RAIR Foundation) The government and mainstream media have repeatedly ridiculed and suppressed any suggestion that Ivermectin should be prescribed for Covid-19. However, the actual science shows that Ivermectin is remarkably effective at preventing serious illness and death from Covid-19. Continue reading
