The Fruit of Devotion

13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. 1 Timothy 4:13 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)

As the passage above (1 Timothy 4:13) makes clear, to the Apostle Paul the centrality of preaching in Christian ministry was critical. He knew that the fruit of that was the working of the Holy Spirit in the Body of Christ producing godliness. However, its neglect produces its own fruit. I am not exaggerating when I state that most ministries today are built on entertainment, personality, crowd-gathering events, gimmicks, programs, and any thing entrepreneurs can come up with to draw people together that simply appeal to the flesh, which can be summed up by one term: pragmatism. However, that was not nor has it ever been the Biblical model of a Christian ministry. Continue reading

The Golden Calf

1 “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And you know the way where I am going.” John 14:1-4 (NASB) 

Read 2 Peter 3:1-4 on the site.

Those familiar with the Exodus of Israel from bondage in Egypt to the Promised Land of Canaan know that the journey was long and arduous. Only two men from those who left Egypt, Joshua and Caleb, made it through the journey…. Continue reading

Radical Democrat Priorities in Biden’s First 100 Days: Packing Courts, Amnesty, Reparations, Federalizing Elections, DC Statehood, Banning Electoral College

(Breitbart)  The Democrats have proposed, within President Joe Biden’s first 100 days, radical initiatives contrary to Biden’s “back to normalcy” campaign sold to the American people.

Accordingly, the Democrats have introduced the following radical initiatives: Packing the courts, amnesty, reparations, federalized elections, D.C. statehood, and banning the Electoral College.

These radical ideas and proposals run counter to what Biden said during his announcement speech for president:  Continue reading

The New World Order Is Taking Its Mask Off While Telling You to Keep Yours On

“Hopefully, human nature will take over. After allegiance to family, allegiance to a nation is strongest. Most Americans would view national policy dictated by unelected and accountable global organizations, global corporations, and ideologues as a New World Order. That is what The Great Reset and Agenda 2030 are driving and the Biden administration is a willing partner.”

(Stacy Lennox – PJ Media)  New World Order used to be the province of conspiracy theorists. However, the phrase is now descriptive of what we see daily in the news. There is tremendous pressure to reorder society in the West, using the pandemic as a pretext. In America, the result has been an assault on our God-given rights on an unprecedented scale….

The Righteousness that Exceeds the Righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees

1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. 2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. 3 For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Romans 10:1-4 (NASB) 

I am sure when our Lord told His disciples on the Mount of Olives–

14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 (NASB) 

–that there were some who were getting the idea that the way of our Lord was some form of works righteousness that was at a higher, but better level than that of the Scribes and Pharisees who were all about legalism. Some today still have that idea. However, He followed that statement with this another: Continue reading

Scientists Play God, Create Living Human-Monkey Embryo

(Reformation Charlotte)  If there is anyone who purposely wants to bring the wrath and judgment of God on their own heads, the best way to do it is to mock Him. “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap,” the Apostle Paul warns in Galatians 6:7.

Yet, God-haters have nothing better to do.  When they face God, judgment will be upon them.

It has been recently revealed that “scientists”–which should say “Satanists”–have taken it upon themselves to play God by creating a living human-monkey embryo in the name of “health.”…. Continue reading

Biden Intelligence Community Breaches Authority to Target the Right

“Over the past several years, sadly, it’s become almost impossible to tell who poses the biggest threat to our democracy—foreign adversaries or our own government. Tens of millions of Americans undoubtedly would argue it’s the latter.”

(Julie Kelly – American Greatness)  The freshly reelected Republican senator from Nebraska had kind words this week for Joe Biden’s intelligence chiefs. “The American people are blessed to have an [intelligence community] as serious as ours,” Senator Ben Sasse said during Wednesday’s Senate Intelligence Committee hearing….

Biden is the most anti-American president in US history

“These people are so disconnected from reality it is truly frightening.  Either that or they continue to assume the American people are very, very stupid when it is becoming clearer and clearer that it is the radical leftists who fraudulently got Biden into office and depend on him to read whatever they put on the teleprompter.”

(Patricia McCarthy – American Thinker)  Barack Obama made it abundantly clear that he not only loathed these United States, but he was also embarrassed by his own nation and its citizens.  He did tremendous damage over his eight years in office.  He treated our enemies like allies and our allies like enemies.  He set race relations back at least fifty years having been indoctrinated in the odious Jeremiah Wright brand of anti-Americanism.  Continue reading

Producing Much Fruit

1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. John 15:1-8 (NASB) Read verses 6-8 on the site.

Have you ever heard a preacher say in one of his sermons something like this:

“God wants everyone to have a vision and so every Christian needs to try really hard to pursue a vision until it aches within them. Then they know its from God and then they need to run after it as hard as they can!”

Is Dr. Fauci the ‘Father of the Pandemic?’

(Peter Navarro – The Washington Times)  The former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, believes the SARS-CoV-2 virus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

If Dr. Redfield is correct — and he almost certainly is — then Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health must assume significant responsibility for a global pandemic that has killed over half-a-million Americans, kicked tens of millions of Americans to the unemployment curb and drained trillions of dollars of wealth from the American economy.

NCAA ‘Unequivocally’ Supports Transgender Athletes Competing With Their Identified Sexes

The NCAA also announced it will only allow championships and conferences in states and localities “where hosts can commit to providing an environment that is safe, healthy, and free of discrimination.”

(Tré Goins-Phillips – Faithwire)  As women around the country continue to fight to protect their spaces, the NCAA announced this week it stands “unequivocally” with transgender athletes competing on the teams that correspond to the sexes with which they identify, meaning a trans-identified female, a biological male, should be free to compete alongside biological females.

Woke comes for Christian K-12 & homeschools

(Capstone Report)  With the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) promoting diversity and multiculturalism to its member Christian schools, the Woke virus is set to spread from seminaries and colleges into Christian K-12 schools. And, it won’t even spare homeschoolers. As we reported earlier, the ACSI partnered with UnifiED to provide diversity, inclusion, racial reconciliation and multiculturalism training to Christian schools. What is important to note is the widespread reach of ACSI. Not only does ACIS serve the accreditation function for day schools and hybrid schools, but it produces homeschool curricula.

The Open Door

24 They passed through Pisidia and came into Pamphylia. 25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 From there they sailed to Antioch, from which they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had accomplished. 27 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 a long time with the disciples. Acts 14:24-28 (NASB) 

Not all of the letters to the churches from our Lord in the book of Revelation were as harsh as the one to Laodicea. In his letter to the church in Philadelphia he commended their faith and good works…. Continue reading

LGBT Advocates Want Schools to Replace ‘Mum’ and ‘Dad’ With ‘Inclusive’ Language

“The campaign used material from Proud2Play and VicHealth which included strategies for schools and sports — including non-gendered teams and the use of rainbow flags.” 

(Luis Miguel – New American) The assault on the family continues.

Schools in Melbourne, Australia, are being pressured to stop using words like “mum” and “dad” and instead adopt more “gender-inclusive” language in order to make campuses more welcoming to the LGBT crowd. Continue reading

Leaked video of pyramid-like UFOs comes from U.S. Navy, spokesperson confirms

“[The video] shows what they described as vehicles….They made sure in this classified briefing, they made a great distinction that this is not something that we own either a black project, this is not something of a foreign military, that these were behaving in ways that we did not expect.” 

(Peter Heck – Disrn)  The Pentagon has confirmed that images and video footage showing a number of unidentified flying objects trailing Navy ships near California were taken by several members of the U.S. Navy. Continue reading

Biden’s Team of Racists and Anti-Semites: An Anti-American Coalition in the Heart of the White House

Late in his presidency, Donald Trump issued an executive order establishing The 1776 Commission, an advisory committee designed to encourage American schools to provide students with a “patriotic education,” and to counter the America-hating narrative of critical race theory and the 1619 Project. Biden revoked Trump’s executive order — on grounds that the “systemic racism that has plagued our nation for far, far too long couldn’t be ignored any longer.” 

(David Horowitz & John Perazzo – PJ Media)  Formally introducing his cabinet to the public, Joe Biden proudly declared: “This is the first [time] in American history that the cabinet looks like America.”  Looking at the actual appointments and not just the gender, skin color, and ethnic origins of the Biden team, it is a team that may look like America but doesn’t think like America. In fact, it is a team whose outlook is anti-American. Continue reading

Christ the Wisdom and Power of God

18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, “I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE.” 1 Corinthians 1:18-19 (NASB)

Genuine humility is found only in genuine believers. What the world sees as humility is often just self-deprecation, which is pride in reverse masquerading as humility. Then genuinely humble believer is the one who sees their true position before God. God’s ways are not our ways. The way people conceive of things naturally is not the way God does…. Continue reading

CNN Director Admits Network Ran ‘Propaganda’ to Get Trump ‘Voted Out’

It [COVID] will taper off to a point that it’s not a problem anymore. Climate change can take years, so they’ll probably be able to milk that quite a bit…Climate change is going to be the next COVID thing for CNN…Fear sells,”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  In the latest Project Veritas sting video, CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester admits that his network used “propaganda” in an effort to ensure that President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Chester takes credit for Trump’s loss and confesses that the network created at least one story that was “all speculation” in order to defeat the president. He also says that as soon as the COVID-19 pandemic tapers off, CNN plans to “milk” climate alarmism for all it’s worth. Continue reading

Pentagon Researchers Are Focusing On An Under-The-Skin Microchip As An End To The Pandemic

“It’s highly unlikely members of the military will agree to utilizing this technology when a third of all troops have refused to get the vaccine.”

(Beth Baumann – Daily Wire)  As the United States continues to work to eradicate COVID, doctors and researchers at the Pentagon are working on something else: preventing a future pandemic. According to Dr. Matt Hepburn, a retired Army infectious disease physician, the future of pandemic prevention is with an under-the-skin microchip that can detect a virus. Continue reading

Bible Teacher Susan Heck Says Beth Moore is On Her Way to Hell Unless She Repents

Unless she repents, the blackest of darkness is reserved for her forever. That doesn’t make me happy.”

Covid-19 ‘Smart Mask’ To Monitor Every Breath You Take

“The World Economic Forum— creators of The Great Reset—is pushing a Covid-19 ‘Mask of the Future’/‘Smart Mask’  engineered to monitor every breath you take. Taxing every breath you take is sure to come next.”

(Judi McLeod – Canada Free Press) ‘Mask of the Future’—dubbed the ‘Smart Mask’ will control all physical movements of its wearers rather than protect them from the Coronavirus and its sure to come, many mutations.

They call it “Breath Sensor Technology”. Continue reading
