Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name

1 Ascribe to the LORD, O sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in holy array. Psalms 29:1-2 (NASB) 

Much of the confusion within the visible church along with watered down versions of the gospel being preached rooted in pragmatism are due to the proponents of such things seeking glory for themselves. A genuine and proper handling of God’s Word and the Gospel will always be done within the context of ascribing all to the Lord for His glory alone.

C. H. Spurgeon

“Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name.”—Psalm 29:2.

Gaslighting, a Covid love story

“Now vaccine advocates have done a massive about-face. In the face of this horrendous data, they have simply refused to admit the vaccines are failing to work as they promised. They don’t ever even acknowledge that months ago, they said vaccines would sharply reduce coronavirus infections and transmission.”

(Alex Barenson) I’m old enough to remember when vaccines were the miracle that would put Covid behind us.

So are you. Continue reading

Dear Republican Trump haters – What did you get for your trade?

“You traded fairness for a George Orwell version of equality. Under the new administration, there are two systems of justice. Protesters on the left can set buildings ablaze, vandalize them and shoplift with impunity. Protesters on the right will be branded, surveilled and prosecuted as domestic terrorists.”   

(Jason Chaffetz – Fox News)  A little less than a year ago, a significant number of independent and Republican voters decided to trade bad tweets for bad policy. Today, your Twitter feed is void of President Trump‘s tweets. But the price was high.  Continue reading

Fmr. Google Employee Reveals Company Changed News Algorithm To Target President Trump

“He also explained how the process worked during an interview with the Epoch Times. Vorhies went on to clarify how these classifiers were trained by people with biases based on what they believed to be fake or misleading news….”

(OAN) A Big Tech whistleblower has spoken out on Google’s latest attempts to censor conservative speech. Zach Vorhies exposed Google and how it changed their news algorithms in order to target President Trump. Continue reading

‘Woke’ Gen. Mark Milley, in July: ‘Afghan Security Forces Have the Capacity to … Defend Their Country’

(Joel B. Pollack – Breitbart) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told reporters less than four weeks before the Taliban entered Kabul that the local military was fully capable of defending Afghanistan from the insurgent Islamic terrorist militia.

In a press conference on July 21, Milley said:

General Milley and his team, along with CENTCOM and many others in the joint force, have paved the path for a safe, orderly and responsible transition. Continue reading

The Word Became Flesh

1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life— 2 and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— 3 what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete. 1 John 1:1-4 (NASB) 

What sort of Christian message is it that is not Christ centered? Christ must be central to all that we teach or preach. The cross must be presented as God’s solution for Man lost in sin with no hope of salvation without His divine help by His grace…. Continue reading

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Romans 6:1-2 (NASB) 

No-Lordship salvation teaches a form of grace that is weak and ineffectual. Some have referred to it as “sloppy grace.” Perhaps a more common name for it is “Cheap Grace.” Cheap Grace is that which appears free, but has little value. It has not the power to change lives…. Continue reading

Revoice 2021 Conference To Feature Roman Catholic Lesbian Speaker

(Protestia)  Once again, Revoice is upon us, and once again, their speaker list is suspect. Along with a plethora of gay, lesbian, and transgendered speakers, many who openly insist on using he/him, she/her/, they/them personal pronouns in their bios, we see that Revoice has brought back openly lesbian and Roman Catholic speaker Eve Tushnet to give a message.

Revoice, you’ll recall, suffered a teeth-shattering, cartilage-crushing, skull-splintering blow to the satanic scourge when the Presbyterian Church of America (PCA) voted at their 2021 General Conference 1438-417 to adopt Overture 23, which states in full: Continue reading

All eyes on Biden’s response to COVID variants, Afghanistan, border crisis, inflation

(Audrey Conklin – Fox News)  All eyes are on President Biden as he responds to threats facing the U.S. and other countries, including COVID-19 variants, the Taliban’s growing stronghold over Afghanistan, the U.S.-Mexico border crisis and inflation.

The spring of 2021 presented an optimistic outlook for the new president’s administration as COVID-19 cases dwindled, millions were vaccinated, consumer spending rose and officials planned their move to pull U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 1. Continue reading

Biden and Democrats Lack Mandate for Their Destructive, Leftist Push

“If Democrats can bully Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, Republicans may have no input on so-called “soft” infrastructure favored by the socialist wing. Tax and spending bills are not subject to the Senate filibuster, therefore Democrats can pass what they want, so long as all 50 senators stay together.”

(A.J. Kaufman)  It is baffling how President Joe Biden and his party govern outside the context of political realities. Continue reading

Netflix’s ‘Pray Away’ Takes Aim at Jesus Ability To Set People Free from LGBT Lifestyles

(Harbinger’s Daily) Netflix recently debuted a documentary titled Pray Away, aimed at discrediting reparative therapy for those who experience unwanted same-sex attraction while also undermining and impugning the testimonies of legions of men and women who have left homosexual lives behind and who continue to experience freedom in Christ.

The movie profiles several early leaders of the “ex-gay” movement — epitomized in the now defunct Exodus International organization — which began in the 1970s, and who have since disavowed their participation and returned to homosexual lives. Continue reading

Bethel ‘Pastor’ Says Michael The Archangel Dresses In ‘Wrestling Tights,’ And He’s ‘Always Grumpy’

(Protestia)  The charismatic ne’er-do-well prophet who faced public humiliation after apologizing to Joe Biden and his supporters for uttering a false prophecy about Trump’s election win, calling it a “major, major mistake” and taking “full responsibility for being wrong” has a history of saying blasphemous things bound to make charismatics cackle and cheer, this time by claiming that Michael the Archangel looks like a giant Native-American man, wears wrestling tights and is always grumpy. (Another “prophet” explains he was wearing tights because “we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, and darkness.”) Continue reading

Refuting Hillsong’s recent misleading media statement

(Churchwatch Central) This article exists to refute the misleading claims in Hillsong’s recent media statement. We will mainly focus on the points that Hillsong claims are ‘fact’ in their statement. However, it’s worth quickly addressing two points in the statement that demonstrates the wickedness and self interests of Brian Houston:

Hillsong: “He has never placed blame on any victim and the actions of his father repulsed him. Continue reading

Hearing and Doing the Word

22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. James 1:22 (NASB) 

The visible Church in our time has been compromised for the most part by human philosophy and has succumbed to the pressure from the world to not emphasize God’s truth as absolute. Professing Christians who discount the Word of God as absolute truth are actually placing their intellect, their beliefs, and the counsel of their own hearts above the Word of God as it relates to authority and truth….

GOP Owns the Libs in Budget Reconciliation Vote-a-Rama Free-for-All

“The GOP got several Democratic senators to go on record supporting fracking, no doubt causing a lot of green heads to explode around the country.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media)  The Democrats may get their $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill through Congress, but it’s not going through without a lot of pain being inflicted by the Republican opposition.

One of the quirks of using the reconciliation process is that it gives the opposition the ability to bring as many non-binding resolutions to the floor as possible…. Continue reading

American Armageddon

“George Orwell would say of these cultural Marxists that they grab power in the present to reinvent the past in order to control our futures.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness)  Americans are growing angrier by the day in a way different from prior sagebrush revolts such as the 1960s Silent Majority or Tea Party furor of over a decade ago.

The rage at the current status quo this time is not just fueled by conservatives…. Continue reading

Teen Vogue Calls to ‘Mobilize Toward’ a ‘Socialist Future’

“Her short 17 years on this planet has allowed her to watch capitalism “fail time and again.” For example, she thinks she has “experienced two of the country’s worst recessions.” How adorable.” 

(Charlie Kirk)  The days of Teen Vogue giving uncomfortable sex advice so adolescents don’t have to have awkward talks with their parents is so last generation. This generation is kept abreast of the ‘woke’ movement with calls to arms and socialist mobilization. Continue reading

Major evangelical figure comes out as gay

“Followers of Jesus Christ have to completely disregard the teaching in the pages of Holy Writ to cling to their belief that God condones sex outside of marriage. Anyone who is involved in sex outside marriage is committing a sin against God. Period. This I know because the Bible tells me so.”

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Jonathan Merritt is “one of America’s most prolific religion writers” and a reporter for various news agencies including Religion News Service. He is also the son of former Southern Baptist Convention president James Merritt. In 2019 the pastor’s son chose to denounce evangelicalism and “seek God elsewhere.” On his 39th birthday Jonathan Merritt jumped out of the closet with both feet after years of repeated denials that he is a homosexual. Before I get to the details, you’ll need some background.

In 2012 Azariah Southworth, a “gay evangelical,” claimed he had a sexual encounter with Jonathan and chided him publicly for not admitting to being gay.  According to Azariah, Jonathan,

rides the fence because of the strong anti-gay stance his religious community continues to take. He is brave by daring to push the envelope a bit but not enough to give himself away. Exposing this truth of Jonathan’s sexual orientation is not an easy decision for me. I take no pleasure in doing this. As I type this my stomach is turning because I know of the backlash he will receive. I have thought about what all of this will mean for him and for me. I base my reasoning in the importance of living an authentic and honest life….If evidence is required to back my claim it can be provided.

The quote came from an article by Peter Lumpkins. Lumpkins reported that “Merritt routinely speaks for Baptist colleges, universities, and is a frequent speaker at Lifeway’s events. In addition, two seminary presidents–Danny Akin and Al Mohler–have in the past supported views on various social issues.” (Source) Continue reading

Waiting, Not Running

Yes, we are to be discerning. Yes, we are to be Christlike. Yes, we are to have godly convictions and not be in love with this world. All that describes us as we we mature into the believers our Lord wants us to be. However, the path is not always a smooth one. No, part of this journey to the Celestial City takes us through severe tests of our faith as well as having to deal with people, governments, and even religious people who are under the control of our enemy….

It’s starting: Police demand papers from restaurant goers in horrifying video

“The officers shown in the video are enforcing a new French law that went into effect on Monday requiring the country’s residents to show proof of vaccination or immunity when they enter cafés, restaurants or a number of other public venues…”

(Michael Austin – Western Journal)  Months ago, they called us “conspiracy theorists” for warning that vaccine mandates were on the way. Continue reading

There is no coherent way to combine the identities ‘gay’ and ‘Christian.’

Some advocate a practice of “spiritual friendship,” in which two homosexuals of the same sex form an enduring and comprehensive friendship: making joint decisions, living in the same house, even referring to each other as their “other half.” Apart from sex, this is almost a marriage.

(Gay and the Gay Christian by Calvin Goligher – Reformation 21) The word “gay” can refer to:

  1. A pattern of male sexual attraction for other men.
  2. An identity rooted in such a pattern of attraction.
  3. More broadly, a variety of identities and practices that depart from the norm of male-female conjugal union. In this sense, it is the opposite of “straight” and a synonym of “queer.”

This word is a euphemism that contributes to the perception that homosexual practices are relatively harmless…. Continue reading

Protests Erupt in Tennessee and Kentucky over Mask Mandates and Forced Vaccinations

Likewise in Edgewood, Kentucky, hundreds were “protesting the requirement of COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus] vaccinations for employees throughout the Greater Cincinnati Health Systems.”

“We want to have our own right and have our own decision to decide to wear a mask or not…. Continue reading

Fight Back: Here’s How People Are Legally Resisting Dystopian Diktats to Get a Covid Shot or Be Fired

“The only thing we do know is that Democrat Party elected officials believe the best way to deal with it is by authoritarian diktats. Their reflexive reaction is to bury freedom in the name of safety.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media)  In the past week, Democrat governors and other Democrat Party elected officials throughout the country have launched a coordinated effort to threaten Americans’ economic security by issuing hasty “do what we say or your job gets it” Covid diktats. Continue reading
