What Happened to Officer Brian Sicknick?

National Review claimed, without evidence, that Sicknick was “murdered.” The president and his allies in the Senate, pundits raged, were accomplices. “When he told followers to ‘STAND UP,’ they listened and murdered a cop while storming the Capitol,” one Washington Examiner writer tweeted about the role of Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.). “Make him pay.”

(Julie Kelly – American Greatness)  The claim is so pervasive as not to be questioned: Five people died as a result of the January 6 “insurrection” at the Capitol building, killed by blood-thirsty Trump voters at the president’s behest, out for revenge over a stolen election. Continue reading

Ravi Zacharias Victim Posts Victim Impact Statement

(Protestia)  Lori Anne Thompson, the most well-known and public of Ravi Zacharias’ victims has posted a detailed victim impact statement on her website, detailing the ways that the late-Christian apologist’s sexual predations destroyed her world and adversely affected her and her family for years. It also details the emotional toll that having Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) repeatedly publicly lie about her has had, even as they publicly insist they’ve committed no wrongdoing.

How Many Americans Has the American Medical Establishment Killed?

If doctors who advocate for the use of these safe drugs are wrong, what price would we have paid? Essentially none. But what if Dr. Anthony Fauci, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, The New York Times, CNN, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health and the poor souls who trust them are wrong? The price we have paid is hundreds of thousands of dead Americans, and quite possibly more than that.

(Dennis Prager)  I should state at the outset that were it not for doctors, I would either be paralyzed or dead. I owe my mobility and probably my life to wonderful physicians.

However, I will now state with equal certitude that the American medical profession as a whole and many individual doctors are responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans — very possibly, more than that. Continue reading

When the White House Can’t Handle the Truth

At the next day’s briefing…a reporter asked press secretary Psaki: “Yesterday the head of the CDC, as you know, said that it was safe to reopen schools without vaccinating teachers. You said that the White House was still…waiting for the official guidance before making a final determination. Why isn’t what the director of the CDC says — why isn’t that enough?”  

(Byron York – Townhall)  On Jan. 21, President Biden’s first full day in office, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki began her briefing with this: “When the president asked me to serve in this role, we talked about the importance of bringing truth and transparency back to the briefing room.”….

The Risen Christ is Our Hope

13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (NASB)  Read verses 15-18 on the site.

Unbelief is a deceitful thing. Those who are in unbelief do not actually comprehend that they are. This is due to their spiritual blindness and hardness of heart. Christians are not immune form being in unbelief, but Spirit-filled believers, by definition, are not because they are tender of heart and have had the scales of spiritual blindness removed from their hearts….

Max Lucado Compares Holy Spirit to Woman, Calls Him ‘Mother-Heart of God’

Before we get to Reformation Charlotte’s piece on popular pastor Max Lucado, we need to give you fair warning to flee from this man. Lucado’s lack of spiritual discernment is stunning. As you will see, he has given credence to egregious false teachers, which is bad enough, but now he tells his audience that the Holy Spirit is “the mother-heart of God” which not only sounds strikingly like the teachings found in New Age spirituality, it is decidedly unbiblical.

Now to Jeff Maples’ piece over at RC:

Max Lucado, author and pastor who, in recent years, has taken a sharp turn to the left in embracing not only the woke social justice movement but taking a soft stance on homosexuality, has now taken an even sharper turn away from biblical orthodoxy by comparing the Holy Spirit to a mother….

The Betrayal of the American People by Biden and the Ruling Oligarchy

(Steve McCann – American Thinker)  The Biden Administration is willfully and permanently undermining the economy and the future well-being of the citizenry as well as trampling on the Constitution with an unprecedented avalanche of executive orders, proposed legislation and untenable regulations.  The current leader of the United States, safe in his plush bunker, is without a clue as he and his confederates in the ruling oligarchy are more interested in consolidating power and enriching themselves than they are in the long-term welfare of the nation and its citizenry. Continue reading

Reaping the Woke Church We Have Sown

“The culture now has proposed a list of demands that are not presented as options for the church. The world’s project has invaded the church and the message is clear: You will bow down at the altar of our newly defined norms or you will not be welcome anymore as a church in this nation. That’s right around the corner, if not already here.”

(Chris Gordon – The Aquila Report)  The church in America is embarrassed by its own identity. We’ve tried really hard, for a long time, to make ourselves cool, relatable, down to earth, funny, casual, and experts on all the social issues of the day assuming these things will reach people for Jesus…. Continue reading

As Trump impeachment trial starts, the Biden Democrat agenda crashes into reality

(John Solomon – Just the News)  A month ago, Team Biden and its Democrat allies in Congress had a heady plan to appease their liberal base.

Impeach Donald Trump a second time, alleging he incited the Capitol riots. Blast out COVID-19 vaccines, and pass another stimulus. Impose climate policies. And raise the minimum wage nationally to $15 an hour.

Just a few short weeks into Joe Biden’s presidency, those liberal ambitions have crashed into stark economic and political realities as Trump’s trial readies to open Tuesday in the Senate. Continue reading

Therefore They Could Not Believe

35 So Jesus said to them, “For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. 36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light. These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.”  John 12:35-40 (NASB) Read verses 37-40 and Isaiah 6:8-10 on the site.

God is Sovereign. In John 12:40 the Apostle quoted Isaiah 6:8-10. I placed both passages in context at the top of this post. Notice John 12:39, “For this reason they could not believe…” This is the NASB rendering. The NA28 Greek text for this part of v39 is, διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἠδύναντο πιστεύειν…. Continue reading

Mike Lindell’s Film ‘Absolute Proof’ Film Was Seen by Over 10 Million People – Five Million Completed the Film

(Jim Hoft – The Gateway Pundit) Steve Bannon interviewed Mike Lindell on The War Room on Saturday.  The two discussed Lindell’s release of the online movie ‘Absolute Proof’ on Friday.

According to Lindell the reaction to ‘Absolute Truth’ was remarkable.  On its first day, the movie was watched in its entirety by 5 million people according to Lindell and the data coming from his website.  He says over 10 million people saw his video. Continue reading

False Prophets: Masters Of Disguise (Fooled you?)

“Faithful followers of Christ must examine their pastors, television and radio broadcasters, and authors of the books that they read. Do they reveal good fruit or bad fruit?”

(Tom Hill – Reformation Charlotte)  You’ve seen them. They appear everywhere promoting the latest health solution, money-making plan, or the “newest scoop” on popular people, complete with anonymous sources. These flim flam artists fool multitudes of gullible folks every day.

Which one just caught you? The one on television with the hot air cooker? The one at the mall with the sharpest knives that cut the toughest foods like a hot knife through warm butter? Or the one that guaranteed retirement income that will last a lifetime, without any risk? Continue reading

Democrats’ Climate Agenda Will Mimic Their COVID Tyranny

“We’ve seen how many businesses the left can destroy in the name of controlling a virus; imagine the destruction it can wreak if it controls America’s energy policy.”

(Trevor Thomas – American Thinker)  If you’ve enjoyed the last 10 months of foolish, science-denying lockdowns and mask mandates, the widespread destruction of businesses and economies, and the government telling you what jobs are “essential” and how you are to conduct yourself in your own home, then you must absolutely love the Democrats’ climate agenda. Continue reading

Growing evidence Capitol attack was pre-planned undercuts Trump impeachment premise

(John Solomon – Just the News)  Days before former President Trump’s impeachment trial begins, newly filed federal charges against anti-government activists offer fresh, compelling evidence that the accused perpetrators of the Capitol riots pre-planned their attack days and weeks in advance and in plain sight of an FBI that vowed to be vigilant to extremist threats.

A dozen FBI affidavits supporting charges against the more than 200 defendants show rioters engaged in advance planning on social media sites. The planning included training, casing sites, identifying commanders on scene, and requests for donations of cash, as well as combat and communication gear. Continue reading

The Devil is the Father of Those Who Cannot Bear to Hear Jesus’ Word

43 “Why do you not understand what I say? Because you are not able to hear my words. 44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and the truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie it is from his own character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:43-44 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)

Christianity, true Christianity, is not about feelings or experiences as “proof” of its veracity. No, read the accounts given to us in the book of Acts and in the rest of the New Testament…. Continue reading

Jesus and the Father are One

30 “I and the Father are one.” John 10:30 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)

I read the following paragraph from one of my devotions the other day, “Visible disunity in the church is the worst it has ever been, but we must take care not to think that God’s people were once fully and visibly united on all matters of Christian living. Christians may have the Holy Spirit, but they are not free from sin in this life, and living in community with other believers always leads to disagreements…” Please notice that I am not writing this in defense of those certain so-called “Christian leaders” who “tweet” unbiblical and misleading things such as, “Spirit-led people can emphasize interpret & things differently….

Sen. Lankford Shows Colleagues Photos of Unborn Babies and Challenges Them: ‘Is That a Child or Not?’

(CNS News) – Sen. James Lankford (R.-Okla.) stood on the Senate floor on Jan. 27 in front of an illustration that included ultrasound photos of unborn babies.

Then he asked his colleagues a simple question: “Is that a child or not?”

“Among our most basic rights in America, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, one of the most basic things that come out of our founding documents is these things are referred to as self-evident,” said Lankford…. Continue reading

Time Publishes an Astonishing Story About a ‘Cabal’ and ‘Shadow Campaign’ That Helped Biden Win

“What is described in the entire story has nothing to do with democracy or the consent of the governed. Instead, it represents a bargain between unions, corporations, activist groups, and the political elite. It is a precursor to the triumvirate of unions, big business, and the government becoming more evident every day. Put another way, the political elite, the very wealthy, the bureaucracy, and those willing to subsidize struck a bargain.”

(Stacey Lennox – PJ Media)  Time published a story that provides absolutely astonishing details and framing of activities that took place around the 2020 election. As readers, you deserve a detailed analysis of this story and the people and organizations involved. The recounting of the story in Time is longer than a chapter in many novels. Time says additional details will be provided in a series of articles over the next several days. This article is an introduction. Continue reading

Growing evidence suggests transgender females maintain natural athletic advantages over girls

Transgender weightlifter Mary Gregory

“Research indicates puberty confers lasting physical primacy for boys, even after months or years of estrogen.”

(Daniel Payne – Just the News) A small but growing body of research suggests that trans female athletes (born male, identifying as female) retain a significant natural advantage over their female competitors even after extended periods of synthetic hormone treatment. The findings could potentially throw a wrench in efforts by LGBTQ activists and the Biden administration to increase transgender representation in female sport leagues. Continue reading

Finding God

23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me. John 14:23-24 (ESV)

We have all heard evangelists quote from Revelation: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me” (Rev. 3:20). Usually the evangelist applies this text as an appeal to the unconverted, saying: “Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart…. Continue reading

Bank Of America ‘Is Without The Knowledge Or The Consent’ Of Customers ‘Sharing Private’ Info With Feds

(Ryan Saavedra – Daily Wire)  Fox News host Tucker Carlson reported exclusively on Thursday night that Bank of America is allegedly turning over private information about its customers to federal law enforcement officials — without the knowledge or consent of its customers — in an apparent effort to identify those who participated in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.

Carlson led off the segment by talking about how the Biden administration and law enforcement has stated that they want to go after domestic “extremists,” but have not laid out a clear definition of what qualifies as an “extremist.” Continue reading

Left aiming to ‘rein in’ media diversity, restrict ‘reach’ of Fox News

“On CNN last week, “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter suggested that networks like Fox and Newsmax should be subject to a “harm reduction” model in which their media reach would be greatly diminished.” 

(Daniel Payne – Just the News)  Multiple highly visible public figures — including major media commentators and progressive left icon Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — are signaling what appears to be an impending campaign to regulate and potentially homogenize the national media landscape. Continue reading

The SPLC’s Horrifying Plan for Your Children’s Schools

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), notorious for branding mainstream conservative and Christian nonprofits “hate groups” and including them on a list with the Ku Klux Klan while ignoring the destructive and deadly antifa riots, has adopted Marxist critical race theory and has asked the government to push this noxious agenda in public schools. This week, the SPLC urged President Joe Biden to direct taxpayer funds to develop a “curriculum on structural racism” in the Department of Education. The smear group also revamped its Teaching Tolerance program, which pushes its leftist agenda in schools. Continue reading

What the Gospel is and What it is Not

20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:20-21 (NASB) 

Any attempt to “improve” the Gospel according to human wisdom or philosophy empties the Cross of Christ of its power. In our day, this tinkering with Gospel is called “Contextualization.” This is the process of adding to, taking away, and changing the Gospel message in an attempt to make it relate to culture….
