Back to Fundamentals

1 Simeon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received the same kind of faith as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the full knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. 2 Peter 1:1-15 Read verses 5-15 on the site.

In the 1960s, the premier football team in the NFL was the Green Bay Packers. They won the NFL title in 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966 and 1967. They also won the first two Super Bowls. Their coach through all of these winning seasons was Vince Lombardi. Continue reading

The Church That Loves Enough to Confront: Taking Holiness Seriously

“The Reformers defined three marks of a true biblical church: Preaching the Word…Rightly administering the sacraments… Faithfully exercising church discipline”

(Joey DeRuntz – TruthScript) The war for the purity of the church is not waged with worldly wisdom or cultural clout, but with truth applied in love. Weak churches avoid confrontation. Faithful churches wield it with holy resolve. As we move from the blueprint of Christ’s commands for corrective discipline to the battlefield of their execution, what’s at stake becomes undeniable: either sin is purged out or Christ walks out, taking His lampstand with Him. As we now turn from the design of discipline to its function, let us not forget the ultimate aim: God’s glory magnified in a holy people. The following sections will illustrate what happens when pastors and churches take holiness seriously, love deeply, and treasure Christ enough to confront sin in their midst. Continue reading

Justice Department Opens Criminal Investigation Into New York Attorney General Letitia James

“This news comes after it was revealed in May of 2025 that James was under FBI investigation for potential alleged mortgage fraud. She now faces multiple criminal investigations from federal law enforcement.”

(Matthew Boyle – Breitbart) New York Attorney General Letitia James is now under criminal investigation over her targeting of both President Donald Trump and another instance at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, Breitbart News has learned. Continue reading

He Who Sits in the Heavens Laughs: Thoughts on God’s Derision, the World’s Rage, and the Coming Shattering

“While they legislate sin and litigate righteousness, God has already made His move. He has already crowned His Son. Christ is King. Not will be. Is. And this world and its wickedness is already on borrowed time.”

(The Dissenter) I don’t know exactly when it happens or what it looks like in practical, tangible detail. But what I do know is this: Psalm 2 is not poetry for the sake of art. It is a declaration of divine mockery—a promise that when the world raises its collective fist against God, He doesn’t flinch. He laughs. Continue reading

Christians Capitulating to the LGBTQ Agenda – Again

(John Herring – American Reformer) Chip and Joanna Gaines made their Christian faith central to their public personas. Integrating faith and work is a move of integrity, reflecting the Reformation-era insight that all work is done to the glory of God. And yet what builds an audience is also what it takes to keep that same audience. Bud Light was built on an image of working-class masculinity; Target was supposed to be the family-friendly upscale version of Wal-Mart. When both engaged in overt LGBTQ+ marketing, their bases abandoned them. Both have since recovered their market share by going back to their original positions. Continue reading

Pastor Warns Parents: If Democrats Pass AB 495, ‘This Is It. Pack Up, Grab Your Kids, Leave California’

“Hibbs isn’t acting and he’s not kidding. He’s holding a rally and lobbying session in Sacramento on August 19 to get lawmakers to kill the bill that “100% strips parents of their parental rights.” He’s asking thousands of California parents, grandparents, and others to show up at the state Capitol and stand up for their rights and the safety of their children.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) A nationally known California pastor is calling on parents of underage school children to pack up and leave the state if Assembly Bill 495 passes and is signed into law. The bill makes all underage California school children the target of traffickers and kidnappersby design.  Continue reading

Soli Deo Gloria

31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 (1599 Geneva Bible)

11 If any man speak, let him speak as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God ministereth, that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is praise and dominion forever, and ever, Amen. 1 Peter 4:11 (1599 Geneva Bible) 

4 John to the seven Churches which are in Asia, Grace be with you, and peace from him, Which is, and Which was, and Which is to come, and from the seven Spirits which are before his Throne, 5 And from Jesus Christ which is that faithful witness, and that first begotten of the dead, and that Prince of the Kings of the earth, unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his blood, 6 And made us Kings and Priests unto God even his Father, to him, I say, be glory, and dominion for evermore, Amen. Revelation 1:4-6 (1599 Geneva Bible) Continue reading on the site. Continue reading

Obama’s 2016 NPR interview comes back to haunt him in ways he never imagined…

“…you can tell by his smugness that he thought no one would ever be able to prove it…That’s why this is the kind of moment that comes back to bite a bad guy. Hard… Obama wasn’t just pushing a hoax; he was documenting it in real time, with the kind of elitist confidence that only someone totally drunk on power could muster up.”

At the height of the Russiagate frenzy, before the evidence, before the Twitter Files, before the whole thing unraveled, Barack Obama sat down for a soft-pitch, hour-long NPR interview designed to sell the biggest political hoax in American history.

Eight years later, that smug, elitist performance is aging like room-temperature milk. Continue reading

This Week in Orange Jumpsuit Possibilities — Adam Schiff

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Because everything with the Democrats is projection, most of those who spent the last four years trying to railroad President Trump into prison are the real criminals. I mean, those of us on this side of the aisle knew that all along, but the word may soon be getting out to those who aren’t very online people. Who knows? Maybe some lefties might start believing the truth.

That last one is a stretch, I know.

The Dems are up in arms about the Trump administration seeking justice…. Continue reading

Mike Bickle’s Sister Just Absolved and Prophetically Pardoned Him Using This Crazy Reason!

(Protestia) Lisa Stribling is the head co-pastor of Hope City Family Church in Kansas City, as well as the sister of disgraced IHOPKC founder Mike Bickle.

In 2023, an independent investigation tasked with investigating allegations of sexual impropriety against Bickle found that the charismatic leader sexually abused or harassed at least seventeen women, which made his ministry, school, and organization implode. While Bickle has only admitted to sexually inappropriate behaviors with two separate adults, two minors have alleged they were victims as well of sexual abuse, with Tammy Woods saying that Bickle molested and groomed her when she was 14 and another, Terry Hartley when she was 15. Continue reading

Stephen Miller: Prosecute Hillary, Others for Coup Against Trump

“Miller added that “the new information that has been revealed by the director of National Intelligence and by the FBI eliminates any scintilla of doubt about the intention, the premeditation, the planning, and orchestration of this conspiracy.” 

(Brian Freeman – Newsmax) Newly declassified documents on the Russia collusion story reveal a “coup” against President Donald Trump, and those who took part in it should be prosecuted for “one egregious felony after another,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” Continue reading

Dancing With Wolves

“Whether something “works” is not the first question for a Christian to ask. The Christian’s priority is to determine if such techniques line up with the revealed truth of Scripture, and other outdated, uptight ideas like that .Adultery “works” just as well as marital relations to produce sexual pleasure, but adultery is not for Christians! Yet, being uptight, stick-in-the-mud, left-brained empiricists, we would also like to examine the evidence that these New Age healing techniques truly produce the promised benefit. Do they “work?”

(Joy Veinot – Midwestern Christian Outreach) There is a cult system for everyone. There are more cults and cult-like organizations in our society today than I have space here to list. Each holds appeal for a different type of person, and it seems that all the bases are covered. Continue reading

Former FBI Director Wray Hit With Criminal Referral for Lying To Congress

“…Wray appeared before the House Judiciary Committee and downplayed the FBI’s memo that outrageously flagged traditional Catholics as possible domestic extremists. That memo, which came out of the Richmond field office, caused national outrage—and for good reason. But according to Howell, Wray’s testimony may not have been just misleading—it may have crossed the line into criminal territory.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Former FBI Director Christopher Wray is now facing a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, thanks to a new filing from the Oversight Project—a D.C.-based watchdog group. The group is accusing Wray of lying to Congress and obstructing not one, but two investigations into explosive FBI misconduct. Continue reading

The high cost of discipleship and the superiority of Christ

1 God, having spoken long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2 in these last days spoke to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds, 3 who is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power; who, having accomplished cleansing for sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they. Hebrews 1:1-4 (LSB) 

The Church in the early part of the 21st Century is very sick. This sickness has not happened all at once. Instead, it is the result of centuries of compromise after compromise on the part of Christian leaders and their followers to adapt the Gospel and the Church doctrines to conform to what men want….

‘It Was a Cover-up, Plain and Simple’: The Russian Collusion Hoax Explained

“I’ve tiptoed for years around what I believed to be true about this case, worrying some mitigating fact might emerge. Now, there’s no doubt. Hillary Clinton got in a jam, and the FBI, CIA, and the Obama White House got her out of it by setting Trump up. That’s it. It was a cover-up, plain and simple…”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) If you’re wondering why the Democrats tried so hard to stop Trump from returning to the Oval Office, the past few weeks have made it very clear. The Russia collusion hoax has finally been exposed as the sham it always was—a massive intelligence scandal designed to undermine Donald Trump and to protect Hillary Clinton—all with the consent and coordination of the FBI and high-ranking officials in the Obama administration, including Obama himself. Continue reading

Brent Leatherwood Resigns from the ERLC

The truth is, the ERLC was never supposed to exist in the first place. The SBC was designed to pool resources for missions, not to bankroll a permanent D.C. lobbying shop with a veneer of spirituality.”

(The Dissenter) Good riddance. That’s the only fitting response to the news that Brent Leatherwood has finally resigned from his post as president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.

For years, Southern Baptists have been told to treat this bloated appendage of the Convention like some noble organ keeping the body alive…. Continue reading

The Last Believer: Ex-CIA Spook Is Going Down With the Russia Hoax Ship

Surely [Susan Miller] has more sense, or more honesty, now, no? No: Miller “has also repeatedly claimed in recent weeks that British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s anti-Trump dossier might be true, despite the dossier having been thoroughly discredited for years now by a special prosecutor, congressional probes, and even the CIA itself.”

(Robert Spencer) There’s loyalty, and then there’s Susan Miller-level loyalty. Susan Miller is a former CIA counterintelligence wonk who helped put together the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that claimed that Donald Trump had colluded with Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 presidential election…. Continue reading

Soros’ alleged ties to Russiagate exposed in declassified annex of Durham report

“The media analysis on the DNC hacking appears solid…. Julie (Clinton Campaign Advisor) says it will be a long-term affair to demonize Putin and Trump. Now it is good for a post-convention bounce. Later the FBI will put more oil into the fire.”

(Brooke Singman – Fox News) The credible foreign sources indicating the FBI and the Obama administration would play a role in spreading the salacious Trump-Russia narrative — before the bureau ever launched its probe — were allegedly tied to George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, according to an explosive document declassified Thursday morning. Continue reading

Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way leading to destruction

1 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:1-4 (LSB) 

In the passage above (2 Timothy 4:1-4) the word “myths” translates the Greek noun μύθους (mythous), the Accusative, Plural of μῦθος (mythos). It is where we get the English words myth and mythology. In Classical Greek, this is a tale or fable that is “fabricated by the mind in contrast to reality.”…

Chilling new info shows just how ‘Deep State’ Mike Pompeo really is…

“Mike Pompeo didn’t just stab Trump in the back; he handed the Deep State the knife and showed them where to stick it. This latest revelation proves what many of us have long suspected: Pompeo was never one of us. He was a mole, planted deep inside Trump’s inner circle, quietly working to undermine the America First movement from within. And he’s not the only one. Hardly.”

(Revolver) Believe it or not, there was a time—many moons ago—when MAGA actually thought Mike Pompeo was one of the good guys. A straight shooter. Somebody looking out for President Trump and the America First agenda.

Boy, were we wrong. Continue reading

Here’s What Was Found Inside Those FBI Burn Bags. Yes, It’s About the Russian Collusion Hoax

“Ultimately, the release of the classified annex will lend more credibility to the assertion that there was a coordinated plan inside the U.S. government to help the Clinton campaign stir up controversy connecting Trump to Russia.”

(Matt Vespa – Townhall) So, who’s going to jail? Who’s being questioned? FBI Director Kash Patel revealed today that mountains of Russian collusion documents were found in burn bags. Thousands of documents were discovered, including the annex to the Durham report, which was an investigation initiated by former Attorney General William Barr regarding the origins of the Russian collusion hoax. Continue reading

The True Roots of Transgenderism: Telling the Truth About the Entire Alphabet of Sexual Dysfunction

“A more sinister problem lurks beneath the whole transgender movement, and it begins with where the whole movement originated. How did our country, and Western culture in general, begin accepting and normalizing the notion that men could become women? Why are we facing the anti-biological onslaught of men invading women’s sports, prison cells, and their very selves? Before there was transgenderism as a political movement, there was the homosexual movement.”

(Arthur Shaper – American Greatness) There is a spirit resurrecting across the United States, a welcome force for the restoration of Good against Evil, the reintroduction and reinforcement of all things right and well that made Western civilization possible.

I am writing about the pro-family movement, of course, which is witnessing a necessary resurgence in the United States. Ten years ago, the United States Supreme Court imposed one of its most egregious decisions: Obergefell v. Hodges…. Continue reading

Anxiety/Depression: Sin or Not?

Do you feel weighed down by circumstances? Jesus has overcome it all. “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world (John 16:33).” We will struggle, Jesus tells us.

(Aislinn Heuer – TruthScript) Recently, I was prompted to consider the nature of depression: Is it a sin, or is it just a medical/neurological condition? As someone who has struggled with depression myself and abided by our culture’s common wisdom regarding it, I’ve given the subject a lot of thought over the years. Knowing how touchy a subject this can be, I aim to approach this with as much grace, sympathy, and love as I can, while also seeking out the truth. Continue reading

The Cult of Mormonism is an Invention of the Masonic Lodge

“Here’s where the overlap gets too obvious to ignore. Mormon temples and Masonic lodges share the same toolkit of symbolism. The All-Seeing Eye? You know it from the dollar bill—God’s supposed cosmic surveillance camera. Both camps use it. The square and compass? A Masonic staple, proudly embroidered on early Mormon temple garments.”

(The Dissenter) The connections between Mormonism and Freemasonry are about as subtle as a neon sign in a pitch-black desert. Some people act like it’s some deep, conspiratorial discovery that Joseph Smith, the so-called “prophet,” borrowed heavily from the secret handshakes and goofy rituals of the Masonic lodge. Continue reading
