The Natural Man and the Visible Church

14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. 1 Corinthians 2:14 (NASB) 

A pernicious lie currently permeating the visible Church in our time says that all who profess Christ are genuine believers. This lie conveniently overlooks that even our Lord’s chosen 12 contained one devil.  Another closely associated and equally detrimental lie says that Christians must never judge…. Continue reading

Sen. Ted Cruz Warns: Wokism Is Emasculating Our Military and Threatening America’s Survival

US Defense Watch photo

(Selwyn Duke – New American)  Leftists are “trying to destroy the American military” and “turn it … into a bunch of pansies.” So warned Senate Foreign Affairs Committee member Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Friday, responding to a new, outrageously politically correct U.S. Army recruitment ad. Featuring an animated portrayal of a true story of a “little girl, raised by two moms,” the ad signals how the military has thoroughly transitioned from sexual rectitude to “Don’t ask, don’t tell” to, finally, “Will tell — you better approve.”

The Daily Mail summarizes the story, writing:  Continue reading

Judge rules Christian college must follow Biden rule opening dorms, showers to opposite sex

“For decades, the College has prohibited male students from living in female dormitories, and vice versa, regardless of whether those students identify with their biological sex. The College likewise separates intimate spaces such as showers and bathrooms in its dormitories.”

(Alex Swoyer – The Washington Times)  A federal judge on Wednesday rejected a Christian college’s request to halt the Biden administration’s directive on gender identity in dwellings. Continue reading

‘Horrible things are happening right before our eyes’: The left is NORMALIZING pedophilia, child sex trafficking

“Of course, this has been branded as a conspiracy theory. But the people it exposes are the very people that seek to control the dominant narrative. And now that we have the facts, we can no longer sweep it under the rug as we’ve done for so many years. It’s not about politics. It’s about certain bad individuals having so much power that horrible things are happening right before our eyes.”

(The Blaze)  Buried underneath the left’s favorite tag lines “love is love” and “asylum is a human right,” a much more sinister movement is growing: the normalization of pedophilia. Continue reading

Walk in the Light as He is in the Light

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1:1-5 (NASB) 

I am sure I am not the only one who has tried and failed to walk through their own home without the benefit of light.  For whatever reason the lights may be off, it is amazing to find ourselves in a landscape that is starkly different than we remember it being when we last viewed it with light reflecting off of every surface back to our eyes….

By the Grace of God I am What I am

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. 1 Corinthians 15:10 (NASB) 

There are two extremes that Christians must avoid at all costs. The first is over confidence in one’s own ability, which is pride in its positive form. This causes believers to rely on their own abilities to do “good works.” The other extreme is to become paralyzed into inactivity because of pride working in its negative form. It tries to resemble humility by proclaiming things such as, “I’m not sanctified enough to do that sort of work.” Both are attitudes of pride and are in rebellion against God. Continue reading

Post NAR Traumatic Stress

(Rick Becker – Famine In The Land)  When God delivers people from various forms of deception and apostate movements such as the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) or any other spiritually abusive group, a painful process begins. The transition from living in the clutches of deception, into truth and freedom is a journey fraught with pitfalls. Make no mistake, what people have been through in these movements or by submitting to false teachers is spiritual abuse. Exiting a spiritually abusive church can have severe effects such as PTSD symptoms. Furthermore, although abusive leaders are a false spiritual authority, they represent God to the deceived….

Everything Is Sexualized: LEGO Now Features an LGBTQ+ Set With a Drag Queen

“This effort by LEGO, which is alleged to make them appear more “inclusive,” alienates customers like me, who don’t need to be constantly exposed to corporate virtue signaling.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media)  Want to know what’s more painful than stepping on a LEGO brick barefoot? The beloved toy company pandering to the LGBTQ community with a new LGBTQ-themed set. According to various reports, the Billund, Denmark, company, will launch “Everyone Is Awesome” in time for “Pride Month.” Continue reading

Officers Guarding Epstein During Death Admit They Falsified Records, Cut Pending Deal With No Jail Time

(Ryan Saavedra – Daily Wire)  The two prison guards — Tova Noel and Michael Thomas — assigned to guard Jeffrey Epstein on the night that he died have admitted that they falsified prison records and have cut a deal with federal prosecutors.

“As part of the deal with prosecutors, they will enter into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Justice Department and will serve no time behind bars,” The Associated Press reported…. Continue reading

Nobel Prize Winner Warns Vaccines Facilitate Development of Deadlier COVID Variants, Urges Public to Reject Jabs

Luc Montagnier, a French virologist and recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), has recently exposed the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccines. Montagnier discussed the issue in an interview with Pierre Barnérias of Hold-Up Media earlier this month, which was exclusively translated from French into English for RAIR Foundation USA….

Will Vaccine Passports be America’s Version of Yellow Badges?

“The worry is that digital records can be used to track people. Cyberattacks and data glitches could reveal private medical information. Worst of all, vaxxports create a two-tiered society. Those who choose not to be vaccinated – for religious reasons or because the non-FDA approved vaccines are of dubious safety and efficacy – wont be able to move about freely and lead normal lives.”

(Janet Levy – American Thinker)  With millions of Americans vaccinated against COVID-19, a national debate now rages over vaccine passports” (or vaxxports) that privilege those who have taken the jab.”…. Continue reading

The Age of Coercive Control: We’re in an Abusive Relationship with Our Government. Now What?

(Megan Fox – PJ Media)  I know what you’re thinking. “We weren’t expecting the ‘Age of Coercive Control.’ We have iPhones. There are robots that run our lives —like the Jetsons, only with fewer flying cars. We’re so advanced! We just came off the Age of Information and Globalization and we expected an Age of Enlightenment to follow!”

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if you haven’t figured it out yet, we’re entering the Dark Side. As I’ve been observing humanity since the pandemic began I’ve come to the conclusion that the proper name for the age we are currently in is the Age of Coercive Control. Continue reading

Blood Moons: Prophets Who Persist in Prophesying Falsely

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network)  A total lunar eclipse will occur May 26, 2021 and will be visible in North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. Some call the full moon “Super Flower Blood Moon.” The moon will turn a reddish color; thus the term Blood Moon. It will be the second of 2021’s two supermoons and it is going to be the largest and brightest moon of 2021.

EarthSky writer Bruce McClure examines the Blood Moon phenomena in “What’s A Blood Moon?” McClure informs us that:

Around the year 2013, when the expression Blood Moon first gained widespread popularity, a Blood Moon didn’t refer to just any total lunar eclipse, but to a member of a special series: four totally eclipsed moons in a row, each separated by six lunar months, with no partial lunar eclipses in between. Such a series is called a lunar tetrad [four things in a row]. Two Christian pastors popularized the term Blood Moon in their book, in which they discussed the upcoming lunar tetrad (April 14 and October 8, 2014; April 8 and September 28, 2015) in apocalyptic terms.

The four lunar eclipses came and went, and, although the world didn’t end, we gained another dubious meme: Blood Moon.

It’s not that the words “blood” and “moon” never appeared together in the same sentence before 2013, especially as regards eclipses. A full moon nearly always appears coppery red during a total lunar eclipse. That’s because the dispersed light from all the Earth’s sunrises and sunsets falls on the face of the moon at mid-eclipse. For some decades at least, it’s been common for astronomy writers like us to describe an eclipsed moon as blood red. You just didn’t, until recently, hear the same eclipsed moon called a Blood Moon.

John Hagee and Mark Biltz, “spoke of the 2014-2015 lunar tetrad as representing a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. After all, the moon is supposed to turn blood red before the end times, isn’t it?”  These men speculated that this would fulfill the last days prophecies in Joel 2:28-32: “And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.  The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes” and the passage from Revelation 6:12: ”When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood.”

“That description,” says McClure, “sounds like two different astronomical events: a total solar eclipse and total lunar eclipse. Sun turned to darkness = moon directly between the Earth and sun in a total solar eclipse. Moon turned to blood = Earth directly between the sun and moon, Earth’s shadow falling on the moon in a total lunar eclipse. Solar and lunar eclipses are very ordinary and frequent happenings that have occurred many times in our lifetimes. In fact, every year there are four to seven eclipses, some lunar, some solar, some total, some partial.”

Later in his article McClure answers the burning question: How common is a tetrad of total lunar eclipses? Continue reading

Jesus Knows What is in Man

The United States is in bondage to prosperity and entertainment. Television has caused most Americans to lose the ability to reason. It is as if all those hours of sitting in front of that mind control device has turned their minds to mush. However, that is no excuse for Christians to not know their God and His ways. The form of Christianity that is most prevalent in the United States at this time is a very poor facsimile of the real deal. It is as if it is geared to the lowest common denominator. The focus in our churches is backward. If you go to your typical “Mega-Church” you will find very quickly that it’s focus is on the people there…. Continue reading

Rachel Hollis’s Problem Isn’t Privilege, It’s An Anti-Christian Gospel

Here is the biggest problem with Rachel Hollis: Her entire brand, from her self-help books emphasizing self-care and self-love, to her merchandise, to her videos, to her public speeches, is built on self-congratulatory screeds with the message “you control your life” mingled with a Joel Osteen-eque prosperity gospel. “I absolutely refuse to watch you wallow,” Hollis writes at the beginning of “Girl, Wash Your Face.” “I want to shout at the top of my lungs until you know this one great truth: you are in control of your own life.”

(Kylie Zemple – The Federalist)  Self-help author, self-described media mogul, and self-proclaimed Christian Rachel Hollis is in a bit of a PR mess this week after wading into some bad social media optics and then doubling down, but contrary to what the race-baiters and even Hollis herself think, racial insensitivity isn’t her biggest problem.

University That Hired Founder of the Discredited 1619 Project Suddenly Has Second Thoughts…

“Hannah-Jones’ major claim to fame, The 1619 Project, should arguably disqualify her from a teaching position. The project tried to flip American history on its head by arguing that America’s “true founding” came with the arrival of the first slaves in Virginia, not with the Declaration of Independence. Scholars immediately raised objections and the Times has issued a series of stealth corrections tacitly admitting that its project was based on a lie.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)   The University of North Carolina (UNC) has not offered tenure to Nikole Hannah-Jones, the founder of The New York Times‘s discredited “1619 Project,” even though UNC’s Chapel Hill campus often extends tenure to professors who hold a Knight Chair professorship….

Is It Lights Out for the USA?

“At the Disney corporation, employees are required to listen to a number of anti-American presentations. The mouse factory has bought into white supremacy and Caucasian privilege in a big way.”

(Bill O’Reilly)  During the Vietnam days some radicals became heroes in the liberal press.  Let’s see, Jane Fonda, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Huey Newton – all became “far out” in the land of the groovy.  There was even a media name for the far-left movement: “radical chic.” Continue reading

Drinking From The Cup The Father Has Given Us

37 They said to Him, “Grant that we may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.” 38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” 39 They said to Him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized. 40 But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.” Mark 10:37-40 (NASB) 

The truth, Biblical truth that is, cuts like a sword or the sharpest dagger ever seen. God’s ways are not Man’s ways or the ways of the world. No, God’s ways are antithetical to the ways of fallen Men…. Continue reading

Inside The Biden Administration’s Devious Plan To Purge Conservatives From The U.S. Military

“For those that are not familiar with Bishop Garrison, I would recommend reading an excellent piece that investigative reporter Darren Beattie recently published.  Garrison is the kind of leftist that literally sees “extremism” everywhere he looks.  In fact, if you are a Trump supporter he believes that you are an “extremist” and a threat to national security.”

(Michael Snyder – End of the American Dream)  If you are currently a member of the U.S. military and you would like to keep your job, you may want to delete all of your social media accounts…. Continue reading

Russell Moore Leaves the ERLC, Jumps Ship to Even More Progressive ‘Christianity Today’

“Christianity Today is the progressive rag known for giving a platform to every weird and liberally insidious bent. They came out swinging against the storming of Capitol Hill by laying the responsibility for the mayhem at the feet of the “white American church” and any leaders who voted for and supported President Trump.”

(Protestia)  Russell Moore, the head of the Ethics and Religious and Liberty Commission (ERLC) who recently took a personal hit when he was torched by the SBC’s Executive Committee for the way he runs his organization, summarized by the phrase, “The direction of the ERLC is a significant source of division and creates a very real challenge to reversing CP [Cooperative Program] decline,” has left the ERLC and joined forces with the paragon of liberal virtue, Christianity Today.

Trans Golfer Who Played On Men’s College Team Snags Women’s Title, Eyes LPGA

“We are currently reviewing Hailey’s application to participate in LPGA Tour events under the LPGA’s gender policy,” said LPGA chief tour operations officer Heather Daly-Donofrio, Pro Golf Weekly  reported. “The policy is designed to be a private and confidential process between the LPGA and the athlete.” 

(Amanda Prestigiacomo  – Daily Wire)  Hailey Davidson, who is biologically male but identifies as female, competed and won a professional title in women’s golf last week. Continue reading

Biden Warns Unvaccinated: ‘You Will End Up Paying the Price’

“It could be that they’re scared of needles. Perhaps they think the side effects are worse than being reported, or that deaths from taking the vaccine aren’t being written about. Maybe they don’t want Bill Gates knowing everything about their lives. The reasons are unimportant. All that matters is that they have a choice and have made it.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media)  Joe Biden and other political leaders are doing everything they can to get the vaccine stragglers to do their patriotic, civic duty and get vaccinated against the coronavirus. Ohio has begun a million-dollar lottery to encourage people to take the vaccine. Other states are giving out free beer for getting jabbed or other enticements. Continue reading

The Atonement of Christ

11 And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. Romans 5:11 (NASB) 

The very heart of Christianity is the doctrine of the Atonement. Is it no wonder that so many proclaiming a “new type of Christianity” also attempt to do away with this doctrine? Any attempts to redefine Christianity by modifying or eliminating this doctrine are marks of heresy. I have seen professing Christians argue and write off former brothers in the faith over aspects of our faith that are nowhere near as vital to orthodoxy as the doctrine of the Atonement….
