“Those who live long lives of luxury and wealth, hiding their crimes and covering their sins will in a moment be destroyed. The terrors of divine wrath will sneak up on them, and they will find themselves suffering under eternal torment in the lake of fire, all of their wicked deeds having been made known to all. Everything they thought they had shrouded in impenetrable darkness will be revealed by the light of God’s holy judgment.”
(Robb Brunansky – The Cripplegate) People across the political spectrum were outraged this week when President Donald Trump dismissed the importance of the Epstein List. During his campaign, President Trump said, “Yeah, I’d do the Epstein thing. I’d have no problem with it.” Many people voted for President Trump, at least in part, because he promised to release the list. Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed on Fox News that she was in possession of the Epstein List and was reviewing it. However, this past week when a reporter asked Ms. Bondi about the list, Mr. Trump intervened, shaming the reporter for still being concerned about who might have been Jeffrey Epstein’s “clients.”…, Continue reading
(Revolver) The Epstein files have ripped open a deep and growing divide inside the MAGA movement. But this isn’t just about some scumbag rich guy and his perverse island crimes. This is about justice. It’s about whether or not we’re really going to hold the elite class accountable or let them, yet again, walk away totally unscathed. And even more than that, it’s also about whether President Trump is truly surrounded by the right people for the job ahead.
“What you’re currently experiencing as a storm of conservative indignation is actually a crowd of Christians pounding on your front and back doors, which I grant may feel aggressive, except for the minor detail that we’re just out here trying to let you know that your roof is on fire.”
24 And when they passed through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia. 25 And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 And from there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work that they had fulfilled. 27 And when they had arrived and gathered the church together, they began to report all things that God had done with them and how He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they spent not a little time with the disciples. Acts 14:24-28 (LSB) 
(Sarah Anderson – PJ Media) On Friday, President Donald Trump flew down to Texas to visit locals and officials who have been impacted by the devastating flooding in the state, and he brought along his biggest morale booster: Melania. If you watched any of the coverage, you may have noticed that the first lady was a welcome sight to the communities whose lives have been turned upside down over the last couple of weeks.
(David Morrill) John Fullerton MacArthur Jr. (1939–2025) — pastor, teacher, author, and a stalwart defender of biblical truth — has entered the presence of his Lord and Savior at 6:17pm PT on July 14th, 2025 after a lifetime of faithful ministry. With profound sorrow yet deeper gratitude, we at Protestia mourn the earthly loss of a man whose legacy towers across the landscape not merely of conservative, reformed evangelicalism, but the universal church as a whole.
“The New York Times had a lengthy piece about this scandal after the National Archives turned over thousands of emails relating to the pardons for review by the DOJ. It seems that the pardons for the January 6th Committee and Anthony Fauci might not be binding. Also, how the Biden White House issued pardons is absolutely crazy…”
“The miracle in Butler lit a fire that hasn’t gone out. It changed the tone of his presidency and the trajectory of the movement behind him. When Americans voted in November, they didn’t just elect a president—they sent a message. That they were done being bullied by a regime that trades in fear. That they chose secure borders over chaos, defending police over defunding them, protecting children instead of butchering them, and truth over the manufactured lies of the press.”

“I’m including what Joanna Gaines shared with Oprah about her relationship with the Almighty for the reason that she has made the claim during other interviews that God speaks directly to her. She revealed to Oprah’s audience that she has received special revelation from God since she was a child.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) What happens when even Donald Trump’s most loyal allies start questioning the administration’s handling of one of the most explosive cases in modern history? We’re about to find out, and it’s not pretty.
(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) Reader, do you agree with Pastor Greg Laurie that “House of David” and “The Chosen” are great evangelistic opportunities? Yes? No? Leave your comments, pro or con, on the blog.
“Churches can now endorse candidates from the Pulpit again, a freedom that never should have been taken away in the first place. The two most important things a church can do: 1) Preach the Gospel 2) Vote so you’re always free to do the first Praise God their free to do the second again.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Once again, the will of the American people has been trampled by an unelected federal judge. Judge Joseph Laplante of New Hampshire shamelessly
“Baylor is thoroughly compromised, as we’ve cataloged over the last few years. They have several staff members who have been openly promoting LGBTQ ideology for years, including a pro-choice, gay-affirming, trans-affirming professor, and their other greatest hits featured below reveals the true heart and trajectory of the storied University…”
“The ENTIRE mental health professional community was WRONG about self-esteem. They said it would improve mental health, pave the road to success, and make the world a better place….In fact, however, people with high esteem for themselves are highly prone to episodes of clinical depression, rarely achieve at a level commensurate with their ability, and tend to be sociopathic.”
“The AEE contends that the bill mischaracterizes genuine pastoral care and personal guidance as harmful “conversion therapy,” with one commenter noting the hypocrisy of progressives insisting that everything is fluid- sex, gender, identity-until that fluidity goes the other way.”
