(Mary Dowling) While the US doesn’t have a president and an elderly man with no memory occupies the Oval Office, no one is running the country. This is how failed nations act.
The US is planning to put long-range missiles, Tomahawks, and hypersonic missiles in Germany. Russia threatens to escalate in kind if it happens.
Fears grow of a wider war between Israel and Hezbollah after alleged Hezbollah terrorists, backed by Iran, killed 12 children on a soccer field. Continue reading
(Barry Bowen – The Trinity Foundation) Last week Suzanne Hinn filed for divorce for the second time from televangelist husband Benny Hinn.
Suzanne and Benny first married on August 4, 1979. Thirty years later Suzanne filed for divorce in February 2010.
Three years later the couple remarried before a large audience at the Holy Land Experience in Orlando with the late pastor Jack Hayford officiating. Continue reading
24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. 1 Corinthians 9:24 (LSB)
Back in the late 1970’s, through the 1980’s and even into the late 1990’s I was a runner. I trained on long daily runs between 6 and 7 minutes per mile. During a race, I could lower that by quite a bit when the time was right, like the last few hundred yards to the finish line. You would never believe that that was true by looking at me now that I am over 70. My left knee will not allow me to run anymore. I miss it…. Continue reading
“Christians of an earlier era knew how to deal with pagans who hated Jesus Christ. First, they bore witness to Christ’s conquest over death by becoming willing martyrs for the faith. Later, they defended the faith against Islam and pagan armies alike. They were willing to stand firm for Christ, whether it meant dying as a martyr or as a soldier on the battlefield.”
(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) As nearly everyone has seen by now, the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics featured an obscene tableau mocking Christianity with a paganized rendering of Leonardo DaVinci’s “The Last Supper” featuring hyper-sexualized transgender performers imitating Jesus and the apostles. As if to leave no doubt about their perversity, the scene even included a child. Continue reading
“Local SWAT teams told ABC News they had photos and details about Crooks, relaying the information that apparently never got the attention required, a damning indictment of the seemingly ramshackle communications system deployed that day.”
(Matt Vespa – Townhall) Two words describe the security situation at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13: hot mess. There are so many glaring flaws, and the ground is so inexcusable that it is fertile for conspiracy theorists. Can you blame them? The Secret Service is stonewalling and stacking sandbags amid intense scrutiny from lawmakers from both parties. Continue reading
“It’s about control. By forcing people to affirm a lie, those in power can gauge the extent of their influence and the public’s willingness to comply. It’s a chilling test of societal obedience. If they can make you say that a man is a woman, they can make you say anything—they can make you deny Christ.”
(The Dissenter) What if the greatest lie of our time wasn’t just a lie, but a test—a trial balloon sent up to see how many would bow to the absurd and how many would resist? The transgender movement, despite its claims of promoting “equality” and “understanding,” is the de facto example of this strategy. In reality, it has absolutely nothing to do with gender or “equal rights.” It’s about compelling society to affirm something everyone knows to be false. Continue reading
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Joe Biden’s prompt endorsement of Kamala Harris as the next Democratic presidential nominee left many scratching their heads. However, sources tell the New York Post that Biden had a specific reason for doing so: revenge.
It was obvious to everyone that Joe Biden did not want to drop out of the race, but prominent party leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, as well as the megadonor class, forced his hand. As we previously reported, Biden was essentially blackmailed to do as they wanted: drop out or the 25th Amendment would be invoked. Continue reading
1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart, 2 but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 (LSB) Read 2 Corinthians 3:12-18 on the site.
Gospel. Paul used the Jews as his example of those who, with hearts hardened against the Gospel, believe they are serving God in their rejection of it. In the 21st Century Church, we have a parallel of this in much of the visible Church. I have received several emails from many of you about an escalation of attacks on what we refer to as Reformation Theology from those who are convinced that Christians are saved by exercising their will with absolutely no help from God…. Continue reading
(Joel B. Pollak – Breitbart) Israel’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, said Saturday that Israel faces “all-out war” after a rocket fired by Hezbollah at the Israeli Druze Arab village of Majdal Shams killed at least nine people, including children, on Saturday evening.
Children from ages ten to twelve were playing a soccer game when the rocket hit the field. According to an eyewitness interviewed by Israel’s Channel 13, a warning siren only sounded as the impact happened. Continue reading
“…when The New York Times takes Kamala Harris at her word that her relationship with Willie Brown was not “improper,” they’re erasing the functional difference between lying and profound ignorance. And when she’s credulously quoted saying, “I do not owe him a thing,” it’s journalistic malpractice to believe her.”
(Mark Hemingway – The Federalist) Kamala Harris hasn’t been the presumptive Democrat nominee for even a week, and already the press is desperately trying to insist perfectly valid criticisms of her are illegitimate. If you think the media were complicit in attempting and failing to hide Joe Biden’s senility, the attempt to retcon her political career into something that resembles respectable and competent is even more brazen. Continue reading
“This wholly unbiblical idea is making the rounds on YouTube by pastors and others who are incorporating it into their sermons and passing the embellished story on to their churches. How long might it be until tiny swatches of allegedly “holy swaddling” will show up as talismans in “Christian Bookstores?” And where did this idea that has been dormant for nearly one hundred and fifty years recently reemerge from?”
(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwest Christian Outreach) A favorite pastime for some popular teachers today is to find new and exciting biblical “insights” to share with others. These “new discoveries” can quickly take on a life of their own and grow unchecked and unchallenged. We think if something has been unknown or especially “secret” down through the ages, that would be a very good reason to be skeptical about it, but instead, it appears to draw people in…. Continue reading
(Misty Severt – Just the News) The FBI officially admitted on Friday night that former President Donald Trump was hit by a bullet during an assassination attempt on his life earlier this month.
FBI Director Christopher Wray testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday that he was not sure what hit Trump during the July 13 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. He claimed it could have been a bullet, glass, or shrapnel, which spurred backlash from conservative lawmakers. Continue reading
“Olympics openly mocks Jesus’ Last Supper as drag queens dressed as women play the role of disciples while a plus size woman appears in the middle symbolising Jesus wearing a giant crown.”
(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Every Western leftist’s favorite jihad group, Hamas, released a video a few days before the Olympics opened, vowing that there would soon be “rivers of blood flowing through the streets of Paris.” French police recently arrested two would-be Islamic State (ISIS) jihad suicide bombers who were planning to target the Olympics. The Islamic State also called upon Muslims to carry out drone strikes on the Eiffel Tower during the Olympics. After all that, the Olympics Opening Ceremony featured full-scale, open mockery not of Islam (of course!), but of the religion leftists love to hate: Christianity. Continue reading
8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, 10 but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. 2 Timothy 1:8-12 (NASB)
The churchianity that most of us grew up with is confused with genuine Christianity by many people. It is actually a set of beliefs or values laid out in our minds’ decision grid. It becomes a value system in the heart that reckons salvation to be based on religious acts such as saying a certain prayer in a certain order while holding to a certain frame of mind….

Dr. David F. Wells lamented that he has watched “with growing disbelief as the evangelical church has cheerfully plunged into astounding theological illiteracy.” How can a believer in Jesus Christ plunge into biblical illiteracy? In part, the blame can be laid squarely on Christian publishing houses for printing theological rubbish.
Enter your local Christian bookstore, gaze around the shop, and eventually you will spot a couple shelves of Bibles in many sizes and colors, leather, hard cover, in every conceivable translation. Publishers promise that their version is the most “accurate” “up-to-date” and “easiest to read.”
Fortunately for me, my mother chose my first Bible. She bought it as a gift for my 18th birthday. It was the KJV, Old and New Testaments, vintage black leather with gold gilding. Over the years I made many notations on the pages of that Bible. Mom was thrilled that her rebellious second born of five requested a Bible and not a trendy outfit.
The two of us spent many hours together browsing the aisles of Christian bookstores. She’d always nudge me toward the Theology section that housed giant hard cover commentaries, concordances and Greek Lexicons. I’d hang out with Mom for a short time then I’d meander over to the Christian Living, Fiction, and invariably end up browsing the “Christian” Music racks. Back then I wasn’t interested in taking a deep dive into God’s Word, even though I cherished my Bible and read it often. Continue reading
“After nearly a decade of utter madness, can we finally order the FBI, DOJ, and CIA to butt out of our elections? Can a bankrupt media cease whipping up hysterias about a supposed Nazi-like takeover?”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) When Donald Trump seemed to have a lock on the 2016 Republican primary, the Democratic Party concluded that the people could not be counted on to do the “right thing” of electing the Democratic candidate in waiting Hillary Clinton.
What followed were eight long years of extralegal efforts to neuter candidate, then President, then ex-President, and then candidate again, Donald Trump. Continue reading
(Mary Dowling) Dr. Ben Carson spoke with Tucker for nearly two hours about the state of affairs, describing the down-to-earth, kind Donald Trump he has known for ten years. They discussed the media turning an immensely unpopular leftist woman into a “godlike figure” and delved into the North Korean media landscape in the United States.
Carson said they have come for the United States because it makes it easier to move us to a one world government.
When asked if the tens of millions of people brought in would affect the vote, Dr. Carson said, “Of course it will…. Continue reading
“Obama’s scheming has spectacularly backfired”
(Simon Kent – Breitbart) Former U.S. President Barack Obama issued a statement Friday morning endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic 2024 presidential nominee. The move ended days of speculation over whether he would support her after she was anointed by the party.
Obama and ex-First Lady Michelle Obama said in a joint missive they believe Harris has the “vision, the character, and the strength that this critical moment demands.” Continue reading
16 These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of their own benefit.17 But you, beloved, must remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, 18 that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” 19 These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, not having the Spirit. Jude 1:16-19 (LSB)
There is a vast, eternal difference between the natural man mindset and the transformed mindset. Only regenerate believers can have the latter while the former is the mindset of everyone else. The transformed mindset should be growing more and more apparent to the believer as they learn to be spirit-filled and walk in obedience to his or her Lord. Now we will take a look at end result of those with the natural man mindset as God gives them up. Continue reading
“Make no mistake, the mobs are empowered by every Democrat who equivocates over the Israel/Hamas war. Harris and her colleagues may as well be passing out the Palestinian flags at the protests.”
(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Wednesday to address Congress, and his appearance ended up being an in-kind contribution to the Trump-Vance ’24 campaign.
While the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media have been furiously rewriting the Kamala Harris story, the “Free Palestine” Hitler Youth stormed the nation’s capital to remind voters exactly what’s at stake in this election…. Continue reading
(Jerry Newcombe – RenewAmerica) Bad ideas can often get accepted long after they were initially rejected. One generation recoils at a proposal. The next generation might cozy up to it. And the one after that might accept it.
Some on the left, including the lame duck President Joe Biden and AOC, want to gut the Supreme Court. They haven’t gotten their way with the Court in recent years, so they want to try and term-limit justices out. Continue reading
Elon Musk says his son is “dead” thanks to the woke mind virus after he was put on puberty blockers, says he vowed to “destroy the woke mind virus after that.”
(Lucas Nolan – Breitbart) Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has attributed the estrangement from his “transgender” son to what he terms the “woke mind virus,” explaining this experience has caused him to “vow to destroy the woke mind virus.”
In a recent interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and owner of X (formerly Twitter), made strong statements regarding his estranged “transgender” son and the state of gender politics in America…. Continue reading
6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:6-7 (LSB)
On Facebook I have dropped out of nearly all of the discussion groups of which I have been a member for last several years. I am still a member of some, but those are tightly controlled by admins who do not tolerate troll behavior. On the other hand, those which I have left are loosely run and certain people have entered in with destructive agendas meant to divide us and cause much angst…. Continue reading
“They went to work on Thomas Crooks, the would-be Trump assassin, an unlikely candidate for recruitment by a third party, or is he?”
(Mary Dowling) During the grilling of Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle yesterday, she refused to say if there was a second shooter and referred that and most questions to the FBI, a weaponized agency of the government. Her response added to speculation.
According to officials at his high school who posted information about him on their website, Crooks was a good student who was not bullied. It is different from the media narrative based on some student interviews. Continue reading
“After the hearing, Chairman James Comer and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin wrote a joint letter to Cheatle calling for her resignation.”
(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) After overseeing the worst security failure in the past four decades, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned.
The decision comes more than a week after an attempted assassin shot former President Donald Trump in the ear from an unsecured rooftop during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Continue reading
