I began reading John Owen’s book Communion With The Triune God edited by Dr. Kelly Kapic and Justin Taylor back in 2008 as we awaited the birth of our 1st grandson. I read it in the waiting rooms prior to the various ultra-sound tests and other doctor visits that go with that. On the day of his birth, I read a few pages and stopped as that blessed event finally arrived. For some reason, I put the book back on the shelf with the bookmark in place and left it there when I got back home. Then at the end of April of this year, I reached a level of mental and spiritual exhaustion that required that I take some time off…. Continue reading
Gavin Ortlund says if you like Tucker Carlson, you are white supremacist
In His Image rightly explained who and what Gavin Ortlund is. In His Image said, “Don’t grant him the title pastor. He isn’t. He’s a wolf who exists solely to help the dialectic progress in Evangelicalism. That’s the whole point of his life, moving the dialectic forward towards the Hegelian-Marxist utopia.”
(Capstone Report) Earlier, Gavin Ortlund insulted the church as somehow unwilling to talk about White Supremacy—despite everyone in evangelicalism talking nonstop about white supremacy since about 2010. Ortlund doubled down on this when challenged over his remarks. Ortlund says that watching Tucker Carlson is proof that white supremacy is a problem in the church. Continue reading
A Biblically-Informed Approach to Thinking About the Buffalo Shooting
“There are no two ways about it. Actual white supremacy is evil, and wicked, and must be condemned by the Church. Murder in any form, from mass shootings to abortion, must be condemned by those who stand on the Word of God as our foundation of truth and standard of morality.”
(The Dissenter) You’re probably aware of the shooting at the hands of a self-described white supremacist that took place at a Buffalo, NY supermarket and who killed nine black people and two white people. And you’re probably also aware of the many opinions, from social media to mainstream news, permeating the waves…. Continue reading
Congress holds historic public UFO hearing, as military struggles to understand ‘mystery’ flying phenomena
(Tyler Olson – Fox News) A House Intelligence subcommittee Tuesday is holding the first congressional hearing on UFOs in 50 years, as building evidence on the sightings raises more questions than answers.
“There are a lot of unexplained aerial phenomena. We don’t know what they are, and they can’t be easily rationalized as weather phenomenon or balloons or anything else. So it’s quite a mystery,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said of the hearing. Continue reading
Tucker Carlson Responds to Claims That He Inspired Buffalo Shooter
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) In the immediate aftermath of the mass shooting in Buffalo, N.Y. on Saturday, the political left (and several RINOs) rushed to blame conservatives, Fox News, and even Tucker Carlson specifically for radicalizing the shooter.
This, of course, goes against the shooter’s alleged manifesto, in which he describes himself as a former communist who now falls in the “mild-moderate authoritarian left category.” Continue reading
Study finds 37% of pastors have biblical worldview: Spiritual awakening ‘needed in our pulpits’
(Anugrah Kumar – (Christian Post) A new study from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University has found that just 37% of Christian pastors in the United States have a biblical worldview, demonstrating that spiritual awakening is “needed just as desperately in our pulpits as in the pews,” according to the pollster.
The nationwide study of about 1,000 Christian pastors found that just slightly more than a third (37%) of the U.S. pastors hold a biblical worldview. The majority (62%) possess a hybrid worldview known as Syncretism. Continue reading
Rheumatologist Robert Jackson: 40% of my 3,000 vaccinated patients report a significant vaccine injury
(Steve Kirsch) Robert Jackson has been a doctor for 35 years. In his practice there are over 5,000 patients, around 3,000 got vaccinated with the COVID vaccines.
What makes him unusual is that he is not afraid to speak out about what he is seeing in his patients. This is because he’s too valuable to fire. He’s never seen anything like this in his career.
The results are stunning: 40% reported a vaccine injury; 5% are still injured. Continue reading
Elon Musk Message: You’re Being Manipulated
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Elon Musk warned Twitter users that they are “being manipulated” and told them to turn off the platform’s algorithmic newsfeed.
“You are being manipulated by the algorithm in ways you do not realize … Easy to switch back and forth to see the difference,” Musk wrote on Twitter. The Tesla CEO advised other users to switch to seeing the latest Twitter posts immediately by tapping the Twitter home button, tapping the stars button on the upper right of the screen, and selecting “latest tweets.” Continue reading
A Person’s Sincerity or Good Intentions Does Not Equal Biblical Fidelity
“Exhort your brothers and sisters to obey and revere the commandments of God. If someone is determined to undermine the commandments of God, rebuke them. If necessary, shun them and have no fellowship with them.”
(The Dissenter) In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering he had no regard… –Genesis 4:3-4a
We see in this chapter of Scripture the two sons of Adam bring before the Lord their offering. It’s apparent at this time that certain aspects of the Levitical laws were already established at least foundationally…. Continue reading
Who Giveth us richly all things to enjoy
“Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.”—1 Timothy 6:17.
Our Lord Jesus is ever giving and does not for a solitary instant withdraw His hand. As long as there is a vessel of grace not yet full to the brim, the oil shall not be stayed. He is a sun ever-shining; He is manna always falling round the camp; He is a rock in the desert, ever sending out streams of life from His smitten side; the rain of His grace is always dropping; the river of His bounty is ever-flowing, and the well-spring of His love is constantly overflowing….

Beth Moore attacks politics and partisanship in political and partisan tweet
Julie Kelly noted that Beth Moore is attempting to smear an entire political party. She said, “What a horrible human being. People of faith and decency do not condemn an entire political party for the act of one deranged 18-year-old.”
(Capstone Report) There is nothing that takes more bravery in modern America than tweeting a condemnation of White Supremacy. There are so few who do this that it stands out in sharp relief when anyone bucks the growing mob of white supremacists on Twitter…. Continue reading
It’s Show Time for John Durham
“The world knew that Al Capone was a mobster and killer, but the feds got him on a tax charge. Michael Sussmann disseminated traitorous poison into Washington, D.C.’s political water table in order to sway an election and frame a president as a traitorous spy. He and his friends did so on behalf of a chardonnay-drenched wretch with no conscience.”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) The highest-profile case brought so far by John Durham, the Special Counsel tasked with pinpointing the origin of the plot to frame Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, as a Russian spy and traitor to America, starts Monday in a D.C. courtroom. Continue reading
Joe Biden Instructing Staff to Shift to Campaign Mode
(Charlie Spierling – Breitbart) President Joe Biden has advised his White House aides to shift into campaign mode for the midterm elections, according to a report.
The president privately asked his aides to start highlighting differences between his policies and those of the Republican Party, according to Axios, citing “people familiar with the conversations.”
Biden himself has ratcheted up the political rhetoric, accusing Republicans of having a radical agenda that is out of touch with the middle class. Continue reading
Naples Church With Groomer Pastor to Host Drag Queen Conference for 12-Year-Olds
(The Dissenter) Drag Queen Story Hour has been a perversion plaguing public libraries and schools around the nation for several years but what about Drag Queen prayer time for children during Sunday morning worship at church?
In a recent spate of pulpit perversion, churches have been inviting drag queens to come in to address the children as parents willingly hand their kids over to these perverts…. Continue reading
. . .Made Perfect
The HTML processor for WordPress does not seem to like my HTML coding for using subscripts to mark the scripture passages in Spurgeon’s devotional. NO, it couldn’t be me and my confused state, right? [Mike suffered a stroke in April.] Please forgive me for the sloppiness. I tried for over an hour to get the subscripts to work, but it won’t do it. In any case, I rejoice that so many of you have been praying for me and have let me know you are going through your own trials or someone close to you is…. Continue reading
The Patience of Faith
With my ongoing recovery from my stroke [Mike had a stroke in April], and all that goes with that, I have found myself severely limited as far as resources and time in developing these posts. Things that I could handle in just a few minutes only a couple of weeks ago now seem to consume all my time. I sometimes feel like I have been demoted to the status of the youngest, least trusted child. As I stated in yesterday’s post, this is most definitely a faith step. Today I would like to post this devotional by Oswald Chambers from “My Utmost for His Highest for I agree that what has happened to me is part of God’s plan of stretching me and changing me for His purposes, for His glory. – Mike Ratliff Continue reading
How Zuckerberg Used a Tax-Exempt Foundation to Help Biden Fix the 2020 Election
“The goal of Zuckerberg and the two organizations was to pump massive sums of money into voter-mobilization initiatives in specific cities and counties that had traditionally voted for Democrats, so as to maximize the likelihood that large numbers of Democrat voters in those places would cast ballots in the 2020 elections. Meanwhile, places that traditionally had voted Republican received far less money — or in some cases no money at all.”
(David Horowitz and John Perazzo – Frontpage Mag) Everybody to the right of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez knows that the root cause of the crisis facing America — the most serious since the Civil War — is lawlessness. And everybody not under the spell of the Democrat spin machine understands that the lawlessness begins at the top, with government and the many agencies of the executive branch who are tasked by our Constitution with enforcing the law….

Midterms 2022: Expect the Worst
“The Democrat Party,” Alexander Markovsky writes in Liberal Bolshevism, represents “an epochal shift to an ideology that signifies the total inversion of American historical traditions and values.” Indeed, it is not so much a party as a criminal organization that knows how to rig a game. Dinesh D’Souza made that clear in his damning exposé 2000 Mules. The Democrats are aware that they cannot win a fair election.
(David Solway – PJ Media) It is currently a popular meme that the Republicans are poised for a Congressional sweep in the 2022 midterm elections, perhaps flipping as many as 40 — some say 60 — seats and regaining control of both houses…. Continue reading
Border Patrol Document Warns of the Terror We’ll Face 5-23
In 2014, DEA boss Jack Riley said drug cartels are so deeply embedded in Chicago that local and federal law enforcement are forced to operate as if they are “on the border.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) An internal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) document from last December warned of “significant safety implications” of ending the Title 42 public health order. They stated that criminal organizations control “large swaths” of Central America. Continue reading
Fearing discovery and depositions, David Platt appears ready to settle lawsuit
“All these departures from church precedent unfolded over the last 10 months since Platt used his underhanded tactics to seize control of the church by overriding the will of the voters.”
(Capstone Report) McLean Bible Church has set May 18, 2022, to vote on a settlement resolution that grants most if not all the requests made by dissident conservative members of the church in a lawsuit filed against David Platt, MBC elders and the church…. Continue reading
We Know Where the Baby Formula Went — to Illegal Aliens
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) As you know, there is an alarming nationwide shortage of baby formula in the United States. Yet Joe Biden and his officials have found plenty of baby formula to keep illegal aliens well-supplied. Rep. Kat Cammack was told by a Border Patrol agent, who provided photos, that baby formula is being delivered to illegals crossing into the United States. She found out it is widespread.
This is infuriating. (video below) Continue reading
Parents protesting school COVID policies faced ‘dozens’ of FBI investigations: GOP lawmakers
The [congressmen] cited two investigations prompted by tips about owning guns and opposing mask mandates.
(Greg Piper – Just the News) The FBI opened “at least dozens” investigations of parents and elected officials across the country for opposing COVID-19 school policies such as mask and vaccine mandates, House Judiciary Committee Republicans alleged this week. Continue reading
The First Rule of Gay Club Is You DO NOT Talk About Gay Club! Groomer Teachers Plot on Zoom
(Megan Fox – PJ Media) The groomer teachers just will not stop trying to indoctrinate your kids into the rainbow cult behind your back. It’s amazing to me that they object to the term “groomer” and then actively plot to have secrets with children about sexuality. It is the definition of “grooming.” Christina Buttons, who calls herself a “reformed SJW,” has footage of a leaked Zoom call between teachers that was organized by GenderInClassrooms.com. This website purports to be “created by teachers for teachers” and “dedicated to equipping educators with the tools they need to foster safe, welcoming gender-inclusive classrooms.” Continue reading
The Associated Press Doesn’t Understand Free Speech, And That’s Scary
“How stupid do you have to be, especially as an organization of ‘journalists’ to think that disagreeing with people is contradictory with stated belief in freedom of speech? Isn’t it the very heart of freedom of speech?”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The mainstream media has decided it’s open season to attack Tesla CEO Elon Musk for having the audacity to want to buy Twitter and not censor opinions that liberal gatekeepers don’t like. As such, Elon Musk has been the target of hit pieces and even a federal investigation. Continue reading
TGC Author Rebecca McLaughlin Says We MUST Repent of our Parent’s and Grandparent’s Racism
After explaining why it’s important to define our terms, she insists that people must repent of their parent’s and grandparents’ complicity in racism, and “God help them” if they do not…
(Protestia) TGC author Rebecca McLaughlin is a married woman who identifies as a lesbian and basically functions as the primary SSA spokesperson (same-sex attracted) for The Gospel Coalition and other BigEva organizations that don’t believe these perverse attractions are sin.
