Dealing with Discouragement

23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. Genesis 40:23 (1599 Geneva Bible)

My natural tendency is to heartily participate in self-pity, outrage, and un-forgiveness thereby opening doors in my heart that Satan enters causing me to become discouraged. When this happens to me, I find that my circumstances drive me to become very negative and impatient. I suppose that this is one of my besetting sins which clings closely to me ready to cut in on me causing me to drop out of the race God has set before me to run with endurance (Hebrews 12:1-2)….

John Piper Gives Glowing Endorsement to IHOPKC Heretic, Mike Bickle, Says Francis Chan

The lack of discernment among mainstream Evangelical leaders is beyond astonishing. The Scriptures are clear–even Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:!4). We don’t judge false teachers based on how nice they are–we judge them based on their fruits (Matthew 7:15-20). 

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  If you don’t know who Mike Bickle is, he’s the founder of the charismatic organization known as International House of Prayer (IHOPKC) which is headquartered in Kansas City. Bickle, a former Kansas City pastor, founded the organization after he claimed a man named Augustine approached him, and “prophesied” to his congregation with astonishing accuracy about the state of his church.

Predator Comedian John Crist Back on the ‘Christian’ Circuit

(Protestia)  Comedian John Crist, once the darling of the evangelical world before his reputation tanked and burst into flames after allegations of sexual misconduct came to light, has returned to the stand-up and speaking circuit after spending a short time in time-out on account of deep-seated sins.

Crist, a popular Christian entertainer known for his comedy routines and hip ethos, had his life and career come to a grinding halt 16 months ago after Charisma News broke the story that a host of women were alleging some very unsavory things, including harassing and manipulating young women, “sexting” multiple partners at the same time, committing adultery and fornication, and bribing women with tickets to his shows in exchange for sexual favors. Charisma was adamant about the story, and had the receipts to prove it. Continue reading

The Gospel

3 For I handed on to you among the first things that I received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures 4 and that he was buried and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)

This Christians walk is one in which we must take up our own crosses and follow our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. In this life we will have tribulation. However, in the midst of fiery trials we grow less self-oriented, less self-dependent, and less self-righteous while we learn that we must, at all costs, abide in Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit….

Breaking! Pastor James Coates is Out after Paying $1500 Fine

(Protestia)  A judge has begrudgingly agreed to accept the joint submission between the Crown prosecutors and James Coates’ defense team, while adding another $1400 for good measure.

This ensures the Edmonton-based Gracelife Church pastor is able to leave the prison without having to agree to the previous conditions that were on his release, including not stepping foot on church property. He is expected to be on this side of the bars in a matter of hours. Continue reading

(Technocracy) Geert Vanden Bossche, DMV, Ph.D., is a vaccine expert and independent virologist from Belgium. He is one of the most passionate vaccine advocates in the world, having taught and worked extensively in virology his entire life in both the vaccine development industry and the non-profit sector, including with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and GAVI, where he focused specifically on vaccine programs and product development partnerships for immune interventions in global health. Bossche currently has a fundamental warning regarding lockdown methodology and, more importantly, the mass COVID-19 vaccine rollout….. Continue reading

Hunter Biden had business ties with Xi Jinping himself, bombshell email reveals

“Now, one other thing that we found very difficult when we were looking at this was, how was Hunter communicating with his handlers in Beijing? How was he making that connection?” 

(Raymond Wolf – LifeSiteNews) — Stunning revelations about Hunter Biden and his family’s notorious business dealings came to light in this week’s episode of the John-Henry Westen Show during an interview with Jack Maxey, former co-host of Steve Bannon’s War Room and one of the first people to go through the contents of Biden’s alleged laptop last October.

Leftist Media Bias Is a Threat to Democracy, Judge Warns in Scathing Dissent

“Silberman also noted the tremendous influence “Silicon Valley” enjoys over “the distribution of news. And it similarly filters news delivery in ways favorable to the Democratic Party.” He cited Facebook’s and Twitter’s actions to suppress The New York Post‘s bombshell story about Joe Biden’s involvement with Hunter Biden’s notorious foreign deals.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) Laurence Silberman, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, urged the Supreme Court to overturn the key defamation precedent New York Times v. Sullivan (1964), in part because the legacy media has become a threat to American Democracy…. Continue reading

Those Who Love Jesus Keep His Commandments

15 “If you love Me, you will keep my commandments;” John 14:15 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)

In this post we will look at John 14:15-31, which is last part of the dialogue between our Lord and His disciples in the upper room after the Passover Feast just prior to His arrest in the garden on the other side of the Kidron Valley from Jerusalem (John 18)…. Continue reading

Unless You Are Born Again You Are Not Able To See The Kingdom Of God

3 Jesus answered and said to Him, “Amen, amen I say to you, unless one is born again, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God.” John 3:3 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)

What causes corruption of the Gospel message? As we have gone back to the source, the root, which is the Word of God, as we exegeted from the Greek, John’s account of our Lord’s contention with the Jewish religious leaders during His earthly ministry, wasn’t it apparent to all that Jesus came to Israel to reveal the Father to them proving that He, the Son, was deity, to live a perfect, sinless life and then lay His life down voluntarily to purchase those who were chosen before the foundation of the world with the price of His blood?….

Notice how some ‘Christians’ attack conservative Southern Baptist teachings on sex and gender and do so without any evidence

What Stetzer did here is wicked. It is the tactic of an antichrist. But, again, Stetzer wanted us to be cautious when it came to talking about the Chinese Communist Party. Remember that. Remember this. Also, remember who funds the SEND Institute associated with Stetzer. It seems relevant.”

(Capstone Report) The day is coming, indeed it is already here, when Southern Baptists will face persecution. It will be aided not only by secular elites angry over the Christian claim that there is absolute truth and that it is knowable. The persecution will also come from within. This week Southern Baptists were attacked for “radicalizing” young men. Continue reading

Because Her Husband is in Prison, Pastor’s Wife Able to Proclaim Jesus to Millions on Live TV

Watch God be glorified by this.

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  In a stunningly perfect and brilliant example of God’s perfect will in working all things for good (Romans 8:28), Erin Coates, wife of pastor James Coates, was able to proclaim the cross of Christ on live television to millions of viewers last night.

Pastor James Coates of Grace Life Church in Alberta, Canada was arrested and jailed by a homosexual activist police officer last month on charges of breaking health department orders that churches not meet for worship…. Continue reading

A Study Shows VERY FEW Capitol Hill Rioters Were QAnon Red-Staters With Ties to ‘Right-Wing’ Groups

“The fact that the rioters were not red-meat, right-wing fanatics threw researchers for a loop. It also forced some reflection by researchers about the people who believe there was election fraud, according to the study.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media)  A survey by the University of Chicago finds that most Capitol Hill rioters had no ties to any fringe right-wing groups and were merely engaged people outraged by what they believed was a rigged election. Continue reading

The Radical Left Will Stop At Nothing To Cancel Conservatives’ Rights

“If you do not think like them, the liberal mob will come for you – aided by their allies in Big Tech and Big Media. Just look at what they did to the New York Post, conservative activists and even  President Donald Trump. If they don’t agree with your voice, they’ll do everything they can to take away your microphone.”

(Congresswoman Ann Wagner)  The radical Left is at it again.

Cancel culture has said you can only read certain Dr. Seuss books to your grandchildren, and you can no longer give them a MISTER Potato Head. And heaven forbid if you let them watch Looney Tunes or Paw Patrol! Continue reading

Surprise! Judge Arrested on Child Porn Charges Was Former Prez of Drag Queen Story Hour

“What is so difficult to understand about the fact that people who promote and celebrate sexual deviancy actually participate in it too? It is so surprising that men who feel the need to cross-dress tend to suffer from obsessive sexual disorders.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  Drag Queen Story Hour is a vile and perverted trend plaguing the country that any sane, moral person would find reprehensible — especially when young children are subjected to it….

However, in today’s revolutionized sexual climate, perverts, crossdressers, and even convicted sex offenders are entertaining children in public libraries across the country and indoctrinating them as early as they can see and talk into a pro-LGBTQ lifestyle. Continue reading

CHILLING: California Police Reform Bill May Ban Christians From Law Enforcement

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  Police officers have a duty to protect all citizens, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other identity. Governments have an interest in preventing violent criminals and members of the Ku Klux Klan from joining police forces. Yet a new bill supposedly aimed at preventing gang members from joining law enforcement could prevent conservative Christians from taking the blue or result in their firing.

California Assembly Bill 655 would require police departments to investigate whether not potential cops had “engaged in membership in a hate group, participation in hate group activities, or public expressions of hate.” It would make such activities “grounds for termination.” Continue reading

Humble Yourselves

25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 26 It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, 27 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:25-28 (NASB) 

There are a group of men who I do not allow to comment on my blog, but who attempt to do so anyway. Their comments go immediately into the SPAM folder. I usually just dump it once a day without reading them…. Continue reading

Media Targets Georgia Cops for Frustrating Attempt to Spin Spa Shootings as Hate Crime

“Some psychopaths don’t have political agendas and haven’t graduated from a graduate seminar. They’re just angry, full of hate, and unstable ticking time bombs. That’s why we have cops and prisons.” 

(Daniel Greenfield – Frontpage Magazine)  Some background.

Asian-Americans have been protesting a wave of violent attacks. Most of those attacks have been carried out by minority or homeless perpetrators. Democrats and the media have frantically tried to blame this on President Trump. Finally, they thought that they hit pay dirt over the spa shootings. Continue reading

Right now, we are 80 million couch potatoes and keyboard warriors with rifles in our bedroom closets – this is not a force to be reckoned with

“Over the last few years, traditional Americans have watched, stunned, as their country makes a national descent into a post-truth, post-justice, post-American society. They find it hard to believe; society appears unmoored and events surreal. Why? Because they are the targets of an effective information operations campaign that, as in Isaiah 5:20, calls evil good and trades bitter for sweet. In fact, we are embroiled in asymmetric political warfare.”

(Max Morton – American Greatness) UNTIL LAMBS BECOME LIONS   We are locked in a zero-sum game rebellion of the elites, who are intent on fundamentally transforming America into an authoritarian state with a single ideology and ruling class. Continue reading
