13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14 (NASB)

“I’m sure Mr. Ortlund means well with this statement, but he obviously didn’t think this through. Nobody–literally nobody–actually rejects Hillsong because of this reason.”
(Reformation Charlotte) Hillsong music has been soundly rejected by many top theologians including John MacArthur, Justin Peters, and many others on the basis that the music itself lacks not only theological substance, but that by purchasing or playing this music can only be translated into a support for the aberrant Hillsong prosperity gospel movement. Continue reading
“The progressive left controls Biden and its policies of no bail, far fewer prosecutions, and demonizing the police have directly led to the murders of thousands of Americans. You are not safe in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and many other big cities. The street violence is shocking.”
(Bill O’Reilly) Forrest Gump would be perplexed by the policies of the Biden administration. I hesitate to use the word “stupid” but Forrest might not be. Name-calling is tedious but sometimes a situation can only be described with a solid insult; thus stupid is in play. Continue reading
“President Trump has been maligned and defamed for more than a year based on the lie that the “disinfectant” he mentioned during a COVID press conference was bleach. The fake news did that. They turned the word “disinfectant” into bleach before our very eyes and hardly anyone noticed.”
(Megan Fox – PJ Media) You’re not going to believe this, but you now have more ammunition against the idiots running around saying Trump told people to inject themselves with bleach. He never did that…. Continue reading
30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith; 31 but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 just as it is written,“BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” Romans 9:30-33 (NASB)
The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ must always be offensive to the unregenerate. It is that offense that makes it clear to people that they have nothing with which to bargain with God…. Continue reading
His company earlier this year released a video of a monkey implanted with a chip that “was seen playing a video game telepathically.”
(Bob Unruh – WND) Immortality has been on the minds of mankind since even before those in ancient Egypt and China buried their dead royals with food for the afterlife, statues representing servants and weaponry for protection.
Perhaps coming in a distant second to that fantasy could be the preservation of the human mind through the technology of computers. Continue reading
(Penny Starr – Breitbart) The U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy on Tuesday issued a public health advisory on the mental health issues he said youth are facing from the harsh lockdowns and other protocols put in place during the coronavirus pandemic.
“It would be a tragedy if we beat back one public health crisis only to allow another to grow in its place,” Murthy said in a preface written for the advisory…. Continue reading
(Athena Thorne – PJ Media) Talk about a hate crime.
The Fox News “All American Christmas Tree” is a symbol of everything the Globalist-Communist complex hates: patriotism, Christmas, and the U.S. of A.
But when your heart is black with hatred and the lust to destroy, such a target can prove too tempting to resist. Such was the case in the wee hours of this morning, when a despicable grinch set fire to the beloved symbol of all that is wholesome. Continue reading
(Selwyn Duke – The New American) “If something can’t go on, it won’t,” goes the paraphrase of economist Herb Stein. This reality could explain a shocking and, some would say, unbelievable story:
CNN, the poster boy for left-wing activism posing as journalism, may be poised to become more conservative.
This is according to lawyer extraordinaire, ex-U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, and well-connected savant Joe DiGenova.,,, Continue reading
26 For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 27 but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, 28 and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, 29 so that no man may boast before God. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 (NASB) Read 1 Timothy 1:15 on the site.
I rejoice in amazement that God had mercy on this sinner. When Paul proclaimed himself the foremost of all sinners we must examine ourselves to see if we have any self-righteousness brewing inside us that is attempting to get us to believe that we somehow earned or deserved this salvation…. Continue reading

(Steven Ertelt – LifeNews) A new poll shows a majority of Americans want Roe v. Wade either fully overturned or limited because it allows late-term abortions.
Polling data on where Americans stand on the infamous 1973 Supreme Court case is historically unreliable because most polls merely ask people whether they want to overturn Roe and a majority of respondents have no idea that Roe v. Wade essentially allows abortions up to birth unless states take the only actions Roe allows, which is limiting abortions after viability, when unborn babies can live outside the womb…. Continue reading
(Robert Heart – Forbes) Using Viagra, known generically as sildenafil, is associated with a significantly reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, according to new peer-reviewed research published in Nature Aging Monday, offering hope the widely used drug might be repurposed as a treatment for the neurodegenerative condition.
KEY FACTS
Researchers found that using sildenafil was associated with a 69% reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease when accounting for other factors like sex, race and age, according to an analysis of insurance claims data from over seven million people in the U.S. Continue reading
(Sharyl Attkisson) Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) became one of the latest high-profile figures to get sick with Covid-19, even though he’s fully vaccinated. In a statement Monday, Graham said it feels like he has “the flu,” but is “certain” he would be worse if he hadn’t been vaccinated.
While it’s impossible to know whether that’s the case, public health officials are grappling with the reality of an increasing number of fully-vaccinated Americans coming down with Covid-19 infections, getting hospitalized, and even dying of Covid…. Continue reading
“TRUTH Social is America’s “Big Tent” social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology – truthsocial.com.”
(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) Donald Trump was the type of kid who, if you kicked him out of your sandbox, would build a bigger, better sandbox next to yours, probably with slot machines, velvet ropes, and model bartenders. Continue reading
6 Seek the LORD while He may be found;
Call upon Him while He is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return to the LORD,
And He will have compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:6-9 (NASB)
As we live in a time of great deception, let us reflect on our Lord’s ways in contrast to the way of men. God’s ways are not man’s ways. His thoughts are not our thoughts…. Continue reading
“…frequent flip-flops have called the efficacy of vaccines, masks and travel restrictions into question. Nevertheless, Americans are being told they must continue to trust “the advice of health and medical experts,” knowing full well that “advice” could change completely at any given time.”
(Michael Austin – The Western Journal) Recent comments from the White House have left many wondering whether Americans who travel during the holidays will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Continue reading
(Protestia) Tim Keller gave an update on his ongoing health crisis and it is bleak. Keller was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June 2020 and thankfully was taking positive steps towards recovery, writing in November of 2020 that his recent CAT scans show continued improvement and the physician is “surprised” and “delighted” with the headway he is having as he burns through rounds of chemotherapy, calling his progress “incredible.” Continue reading
“The media have largely overlooked significant disagreement within the federal government about the efficacy of an antiviral alternative, ivermectin, in treating COVID-19, the subject of numerous court fights. One recently ended with victory for the dying patient, who quickly recovered once administered the anti-parasitic.”
(Greg Piper – Just the News) Recent COVID-19 research sponsored by vaccine makers and the federal government may actually undermine the rationale for vaccine mandates. Continue reading
7 “ Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him! Matthew 7:7-11 (NASB)
While the passage above (Matthew 7:7-11) has been abused greatly by many false teachers in the Health, Wealth, and Prosperity part of the visible church, that does not mean it does not hold the truth for those of us who are truly in Christ…. Continue reading
9 And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent; 10 for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city.” Acts 18:9-10 (NASB)
As many of you know if you have been following me for awhile, I am preparing to retire. My wife and I are really going through the wringer getting ready for this. Both of us are 70 year old…. Continue reading
“It is nearly impossible to underscore how devastating the release of surveillance video from the “Gates of Hell”…will be to the accepted narrative about January 6. Coupled with other instances of police misconduct that day, including the random and unnecessary use of explosive crowd control devices before any violence took place, January 6 will make LaFayette Square look like a day in the (federal) park.”
(Julie Kelly – American Greatness) For months, Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice has tried every trick in the law books to conceal from Americans a massive trove of video evidence that captured all the activity at the Capitol complex on January 6. Federal judges have played along, approving hundreds of protective orders to keep video clips—particularly footage recorded by the Capitol Police’s extensive closed-circuit television system—out of the public eye. Continue reading
During the withdrawal, King said she “was part of the Wild Wild West civilian effort” and that she “got 51 young girls from [her] parents’ high school out of Kabul.” She added that she had a “front row seat to the horrors” that took place in Afghanistan, like “young 15-year-old girls being beat up by the Taliban because our State Department outsourced visa checks to Taliban hooligans right in front of the airport.”
(Ashley Oliver – Breitbart) An Illinois Republican with ties to Afghanistan said that she aided in the August U.S. evacuation efforts after Taliban forces took over the country and that she knows people who are still stuck there. Continue reading
Osteen is a controversial figure in the Christian world. His self-help Oprah-style prosperity-gospel religion is worthy of mockery and for the life of me I can’t figure out why he has so many followers. This guy does not need your money. Stop giving it to him.
(Megan Fox – PJ Media) A Houston radio station broke some stunning news on Friday morning when a plumber called in to report that while doing some bathroom repair at Joel Osteen’s megachurch, Lakewood Church, he found around 500 envelopes stuffed with cash and checks in the wall behind the toilet.

Homosexual and transgender affirmation, feminism, antinomianism, the practical elimination of sin from the gospel and the subsequent need for a substitutionary atonement, and even the smuggling of CRT into the church, are the result of the hermeneutic of “love.”
(Greg Smith – Reformation Charlotte) This will be, as always, a highly abbreviated summation of a much larger topic for the sake of awareness and information. It’s impossible to do more than give a general sense in an article of this kind. Continue reading
