“For me, Side B was a necessary step to becoming Side A and coming out publicly. I’m grateful for the journey.”
(Reformation Charlotte) A prominent movement within Evangelicalism has emerged in recent years primarily through two organizations associated with “gay Christianity.” These two organizations–Revoice and Living Out–have primarily served to normalize aberrant sexuality in conservative Christian denominations, namely, the Southern Baptist Convention and the Presbyterian Church (PCA). Continue reading
“Until we appreciate that a religious system is being imposed upon us, we will be like a soldier fighting over his mandated uniform rather than engaging the true battle that enables all of these others power grabs. How many Christians are fighting Covid-19 mandates and yet have done little to help their people engage with the newly religious sexual revolution?”
(Chris Gordon – The Aquila Report) While many Christians appear to spend their time expressing outrage over mask and vaccine mandates, a larger mandate has already come upon us that has inaugurated a revolution that few seem to appreciate. It’s not the kind of historical revolution with which we are more familiar…. Continue reading
“Government offices were boarded up and mayhem ruled the streets. Indeed, at one point Kenosha cops thanked the band of armed guards who came to secure the Car Source business.”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) On August 25, 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse defended his life against three attackers at an Antifa and BLM riot to stay out of a box in the ground. Now, the 18-year-old finds himself fighting for his life in a Kenosha courtroom to keep from spending the rest of his life in a cage. Continue reading
The government claims the diary of the president’s daughter, Ashley Biden, was stolen and in possession of James O’Keefe, founder of Project Veritas. According to PJ Media reporter Victoria Taft, “the diary reportedly contains down, dirty, and disgusting secrets about the Biden family.” O’Keefe never published the diary. According to Taft, “O’Keefe and Project Veritas have been in negotiations with the Justice Department about the diary and its provenance since last year.” Yet the FBI raided his home in the wee hours of the morning, hand cuffed him, and took his phone and other personal property. A federal judge came to O’Keefe’s rescue. OANN has the report: Continue reading
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms by A.J. Showalter (on the site)Growing up in Southern Baptist churches in Oklahoma in the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s I learned to love some, but not all, of those old hymns we sung. Even to this day I can still hear those voices in our church sing in those tones that were not loud or harsh or meant to entertain, but were directed to the throne in Heaven in praise…. Continue reading
“The 11 boys molested or raped by Joseph Rosenbaum must be particularly distraught. Huber’s grandmother and brother who were repeatedly abused by him must be grief-stricken. Gaige Grosskreutz, a communist revolutionary, is a repeat offender who fortunately lives to offend some more, and threaten his girlfriend again.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) In the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the prosecution’s witnesses ended up presenting the defense case. Kyle Rittenhouse acted in self-defense in all three situations that ended in the death of two men and injuring of one…. Continue reading
(Reformation Charlotte) Justin Giboney, a co-founder of the social Marxist organization known as the AND Campaign and a prominent The Gospel Coalition (TGC) contributor, says that a rejection of redemptive social justice is a rejection of orthodoxy. To phrase this in simpler terms, Giboney is essentially saying that unless you’re on board with the Marxist oppressor/oppressed ideology and its tenets of class warfare, you’re a heretic.
Yep, he said that–out loud. (See his tweet on the site) Continue reading
“An American does not have a right to breathe freely without a mask and live a functional life without taking a risky injection, but those with gender dysphoria have a right to force a hospital to perform castration. Also, an individual has a right to insurance coverage for abortion but not for ivermectin or lifesaving COVID treatment. This is the America we now live in.”
(David Fiorazo) If you want an indication of a person’s politics and worldview, ask them a few key questions: do our rights come from God or from government? Who do they fear and who do they trust in, God or in man? Is the Bible true? Continue reading
“Think about the overwhelming size of the universe in which we live, the tremendous beauty we see through our telescopes, or through our naked eyes when looking at the skies on a clear night full of stars; how can this be by chance?”
(John Beardsley – Truth With Snares)
Spiraling galaxies and moving with precision; Magnificently powerful, and yet unseen by man until recent days. Beauty that is almost unspeakable in words, Brighter than any of our imaginations, Full of colors; an awe to behold In a creation of universal size an expanse that appears limitless! And there are thousands of you, and who knows, maybe millions Filled with billions and billions of stars. Continue reading
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. John 15:18-19 (NASB)
I grew up as a Southern Baptist, however God did not haver mercy on this sinner until I was 34 years old. I have remained in Baptist churches for the most since then except while living in Kansas. The SBC churches there were either very pragmatic or too far away…. Continue reading
“The one thing that bothers me the most is the fact that since day 1, many nations and officials, especially Dr. Fauci, have pushed wealthy, money-doling Pfizer over Moderna and J&J, and all others.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) As we noted yesterday in an article about inexplicable deaths in Germany, France had canceled Moderna, and Germany is now as well. Moderna is mRNA like Pfizer, and very similar to Pfizer. Continue reading
“The idea of climate change that is caused by human beings and can be ended by human action rests on assumptions that are dubious at best. And the entire climate change hysteria that the Western political and media elites are relentlessly ginning up is not taken seriously in China, which stands to benefit the most from the West’s economic self-sacrifice to appease Gaia.”
(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Saule Omarova, Biden’s handlers’ nominee for comptroller of the currency, the government’s top bank regulator, is a self-proclaimed “radical,” as Stephen Green has noted…. Continue reading
(Amanda Prestigiacomo – Daily Wire) Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), a former White House physician who served under former Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, said last week that President Joe Biden, who turns 79 this month, has “age-related cognitive decline” and is not “mentally fit” to serve as president.
Jackson, speaking on a podcast with Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), also said that he received a “scathing” email from Obama accusing him of “betrayal” for talking about Biden’s mental state in the past. Continue reading
“More information and study references can be found in the links in…this post so that you can set aside the propaganda, read for yourself, and make up your own mind.”
(Sharyl Attkisson) Facebook’s fake vaccine industry “fact checkers” recently removed a post that asked several questions even though the implications were indisputably supported by peer-reviewed studies, well-established data, and CDC.
Facebook argued the post was “dangerous” and could result in harm.
There was no way to appeal the decision. Continue reading
“You have spread Russian disinformation yourself for years by promoting this. I think that’s what Republicans and people who entrusted you as the Intel Committee chair are so confused about your culpability in all this.”
(Pam Key – Breitbart) Former State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus challenged Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) “credibility” Tuesday on ABC’s “The View.” Continue reading
8 But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10 Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. 11 But the greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. Matthew 23:8-12 (NASB)
This discernment ministry stuff is not for everyone. I often wonder if I am cut out for it at all. I do not like conflict. On the other hand, God gifted me with the makeup that loves the truth and seeks justice because it is His truth and I am compelled, quite often, to speak out when false prophets besmirch His truth and the Gospel is treated as optional by certain “evangelicals.”…. Continue reading
“These news outlets now face a steep journalistic challenge — that of returning to their source(s) in an effort to back up the original claims that Millian was an unwitting source for the dossier. If that effort doesn’t produce enough evidence to surmount the allegations in the indictment, there’s only one option: Retract the stories. Allowing one version of events to sit awkwardly alongside another — and leaving it to the reader to decide — won’t cut it.”
(Joseph A. Wulfsohn – Fox News) Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple took aim at media outlets that peddled the infamous Steele dossier following recent revelations from the Durham probe. Continue reading
““It is going to be very detrimental. I know a lot of drivers that are against the vaccine especially because it doesn’t hold any type of real value to prevent you from getting COVID.”
(Samantha Chang – Western Journal) A trade association representing 97 major labor unions is warning President Joe Biden that the supply chain crisis roiling the United States could get worse if he doesn’t ease his coronavirus vaccine mandate. Continue reading
Paul writes in 1 Timothy 2:12: I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.
(Reformation Charlotte) In the neverending battle for orthodoxy in the Southern Baptist Convention, every single day, we face the influx of liberalism–both theological and practical. As the fight over wokeness, #metoo, and religious freedom ramp up, those who should be leading the charge to biblical fidelity seem to be the ones fighting against the historic biblical orthodoxy that the true Church has held for two thousand years. Continue reading
(Stacey Lennox – PJ Media) Last week, with little fanfare and almost no media coverage, Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) held an expert panel on federal vaccine mandates. The testimony from the vaccine-injured was heartbreaking, and the lack of support and acknowledgment from the FDA, NIH, CDC, and vaccine manufacturers is infuriating. However, Lieutenant Colonel Teresa Long, a Brigade Surgeon in the 1st Airborne Brigade of the U.S. Army, gave the most shocking testimony. Continue reading
I have taught and written much about the battle believers have, and will always have in this life, with their flesh. Most believers are enslaved to their flesh. Why? We were made with an insatiable desire for fulfillment. At birth we inherited our Sin Nature from Adam. We were all born that way. Prior to our salvation we sought fulfillment via it. It primarily utilized our flesh for that purpose. At our salvation through the washing of regeneration, our Sin Nature was cleansed from us. We are no longer hopeless sinners because of that. Continue reading
“The truth is, universalists, unitarians and other theological liberals will have to try to dig up other biblical texts than Malachi 2:10 to try to make this patently unbiblical case that all people simply by virtue of their physical birth are somehow children of God, united with Father God. Being created by God does not automatically make everyone his spiritual children.”
(Bill Muehlenberg – CultureWatch) On a surface reading this verse does not appear to be all that problematic. But as with many passages in this series, it is the way it is so readily misused and abused by many others that causes the problem. The verse in question says this: “Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us?” Continue reading
“Millions of additional people will get amnesty in this bill. And it comes at a time where President Biden is negotiating….half a million dollar checks to people who came across our border illegally and then they’re going to give amnesty to millions more people. Estimates are seven million more people.”
(Elizabeth Stauffer – Western Journal) Although six House Democrats from the progressive wing of the party voted against passage of the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi passed the bill late Friday night with the help of 13 Republicans…. Continue reading
A win for the people in the ongoing war against white coat supremacy.
(Lloyd Billingsley – FrontPage) The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on Saturday blocked a Biden vaccine mandate that would have forced private companies with more than 100 employees to get workers vaccinated, submit to weekly tests, or face steep fines.
Due to start on January 4 and affecting more than 80 million workers, the mandate was to be enforced through the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)…. Continue reading
