Progressives Are No Longer Defenders of Free Expression

“[T]he First Amendment of the once freest nation in the world is comatose. This time its enemies are not hooded Klansmen seeking to intimidate African Americans or right-wing conspiracy theorists rooting out supposed communists….No, the culprits are progressives and leftist elites in publishing, the media, Silicon Valley, academia, entertainment and government.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – PJ Media)  A half-century ago, progressives used to push limitless free expression, blasting conservatives for their allegedly blinkered traditionalism. They boasted of obliterating once-normal boundaries in art, music and literature to allow nudity, profanity, sexuality and anti-American boilerplate.

15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. John 14:15 (NASB)

“It’s important for every America citizen to understand that you are now facing, for the first time, hybrid modern warfare, where the enemy is unseen, it’s stealthy. Be aware America, be afraid, be concerned, rise up. We cannot let this election, these treasonous acts, this coup d’état, to stand.”

Ponzi Scheme Strikes Bethel Church in Redding CA

Churches tend to be susceptible to what experts call “affinity fraud,” a scam that spreads in a tight-knit community.

(J.C. Derrick – Roys Report) In 2009, a conman bilked members of Bethel Church in Redding, California, out of more than $650,000. Now, two shysters peddling a Ponzi scheme have reportedly struck the controversial megachurch again—this time defrauding investors of $35 million from 2015 to 2020.

The real problem

I have been posting here on my blog for the past several months about the evils of Critical Race Theory & Intersectionality and how many “Christian” leaders have corrupted their ministries by going full bore transforming their focus from Orthodox doctrines to include these non-Biblical, man-focused subjective non-truths. We have to wonder what would cause these people to do such a thing. Tom Ascol of Founders Ministries, one of the leaders against this evil Tweeted the following today: Continue reading

BREAKING: The Durham Probe is Now a Special Counsel Investigation

“The move by Barr ensures the investigation into government abuse during the 2016 presidential election and beyond will continue should former Vice President Joe Biden be inaugurated on January 20, 2021. Biden would have the ability to fire Durham, but given Democrats’ record of defending Special Counsel Robert Mueller, doing so would be a tough political move.”

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall)  Attorney General Bill Barr has appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham as a Special Counsel, elevating his current investigation into the origins of the Russia probe. The appointment took place shortly before the 2020 presidential election. Continue reading

Strange ‘Coincidences’ That Should Deeply Bother All Of Us As We Try To Put The Puzzle Pieces Together

“And it just so happens that those heavily blue urban population centers all seemed to stop counting votes at about the same time on the night of the election.  All of a sudden, voting came to a standstill in Milwaukee, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Atlanta.”

(Michael Snyder – the most important news)  Whether you are a Republican, a Democrat or someone that doesn’t identify with either major party, you should care deeply about the integrity of our elections.  Because if we don’t have elections that are free and fair, our system of government simply will not work….

Data expert: Vote tabulation feeds in PA, GA show ‘anomalies’ suggesting Trump missing votes

(Carrie Sheffield – Just the News)  Vote tabulation data in various battleground states contain “anomalies” with massive swings toward Joe Biden that suggest missing ballots for President Trump, according to data expert Justin Hart, who helped raise millions of dollars for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.

Trump has retweeted charts from Hart questioning vote tabulations, including retweeting Hart’s calculation showing that Trump would have had to lose votes in Pennsylvania if the real-time, individual, timed stamped entries from The New York Times were accurate…. Continue reading

Articles of Impeachment Filed Against Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine Over Abuse of Power During Coronavirus Pandemic

(Leah Mastraneglo – Breitbart)  A total of 12 articles of impeachment have officially been filed against Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine over abuse of power during the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

Ohio State Rep. John Becker (R) was joined by Representatives Candice Keller (R), Nino Vitale (R), and Paul Zeltwanger (R) in filing articles of impeachment against Governor DeWine, according to a report by Cleveland 19 News.

The representatives argue that DeWine has abused his power during the pandemic, noting that the governor vetoed Senate Bill 55 — and threatened to veto other General Assembly legislation, including Senate Bill 311 — which seeks to severely limit the governor’s power during a pandemic.

The Eternal Purpose of Temptation

12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. James 1:12-16 (NASB) 

Temptation is an often-misunderstood subject. Many of us tend to think that temptation is sin, that temptation is the problem with living the Christian life. However, as Puritan Thomas Watson wrote, “The devil tempts, that he may deceive; but God suffers [i.e. allows] us to be tempted, to try us. Temptation is a trial of our sincerity.” Continue reading

Hell needs ‘reframing’ says The Bible Project co-founder

(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) “And if you’re familiar with the story, how it works, hell–or evil or sin, the various names it’s called in the Bible–is something that humans have created by our decision to seize autonomy from God.” –Tim Mackie, Heaven and Earth Q&R Transcript

And if you’re familiar with the story, how it works, hell–or evil or sin, the various names it’s called in the Bible–is something that humans have created by our decision to seize autonomy from God. (Tim Mackie, 32:01 in video below)

Open your Bible. Did humans really create hell? (Matthew 25:41) Continue reading

NAR Heretic Ché Ahn Says Jesus Endorsed his Book as ‘Most Important Book of the Hour’

In another book he penned, When Heaven Comes Down, “Apostle” Che Ahn links the birthing of all the restorationist movements from the New Order of the Latter Rain of 1948 to now.  Back in 1994 during what was known as the ‘Toronto Blessing,’ Ahn announced that God restored the office of Apostle: “The 1994 revival in Toronto restored the office of the apostle with the birth of many apostolic networks, including John and Carol Arnott’s Partners in Harvest, Rick Joyner’s Morning Star, Bill Johnson’s Global Legacy, Heidi and Rolland Baker’s Iris Ministries and or church’s own Harvest International Ministry.” Nothing could be further from the truth. So with this in mind, here’s Protestia’s piece on ravenous wolf “Apostle” Ché Ahn:

If you thought the Bible was the most “important book of the hour” – you guessed wrong, at least according to the head of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) Ché Ahn, who said on his Facebook page that Jesus Christ appeared to his friend and fellow prophet James Goll and informed him that a book containing a series of essays from fellow NAR-ite heavy-hitters that he compiled is the most important book in the world, at least for now.

The book features essays by such “pillars of solid Biblical preaching” and “faithful exegetes” as Bill Johnson, James W. Goll, Lance Wallnau, John Arnott, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs, Heidi Baker, Lou Engle, C. Peter Wagner, and Jim Garlow. If you want the most extreme and excessive representations of the charismatic movement, short of John Crowder of “tokin’ the Holy Ghost and getting stoned in the spirit” fame, you found them.

The book contains essays like Bethel’s Bill Johnson waxing eloquent on “From Glory to Glory” and Lance Wallnau discussing “The 7 mountain mandate.” Each topic is addressed thoroughly and is “describes sensitively in Spirit-inspired chapters sure to stir your soul, ignite your calling, and fulfill your God-given destiny.”

Though Ché Ahn has done some good work in defying the government trying to shut his church down, his wild charismaticism and New Apostolic Reformation nonsense always shines through. In fact, it wasn’t that long ago that he declared that Micheal” knock em down” Brown was an “apostle” – a title which had him tickled pink and grinning like a fool for days on end.

Jesus never appeared to Goll, and the only thing he’d say about the book is to toss it in with the rest ala Acts 19 and count it among those worth fifty thousand drachmas.

Understanding the head-spinning series of court orders in Georgia

(Andrea Widburg – American Thinker)  If you’re wondering what happened in Georgia on Sunday, you’re not alone. A federal district court issued three different orders about county officials’ plans to wipe Dominion voting machines. Thankfully, the last order gets it right and stops Georgia officials from erasing information on voting machines at the heart of the debate about election fraud.

Word went out that Georgia officials were wiping Dominion voting machines in Fulton County, ostensibly to prepare them for the run-off election, which is more than a month away. In Coreco Ja’qan Pearson, et al. v. Brian Kemp, et al., a lawsuit seeking to stop Georgia from certifying the election, the plaintiffs filed an emergency request for injunctive relief to stop the deletions. Continue reading

Media stars, business magnates lead exodus from California to southern states

“Residents seek lower costs and less state oversight.”

(Daniel Payne – Just the News) Multiple business leaders and media enterprises in 2020 are making plans to leave California for southern states, where local governments exert a lighter touch on business matters.

Among the media companies to announce such a move this year was the Daily Wire, the conservative website founded in 2015 with Ben Shapiro as its editor in chief. Continue reading

Christian: What does that word mean?

25 And he left for Tarsus to look for Saul; 26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:25-26 (NASB)

Back when I first started writing these posts and helping Ken Silva and Ingrid Schlueter on the old Slice of Laodicia blog deal with the continuous attacks from the Emergents, one of the main topics that was continually in play was that those who were attacking every doctrine that was foundational to orthodox Christianity refused to be called “Christian.”….

Justice Is Coming: Carter Page Takes Comey, McCabe, Strzok to Court in $75M Obamagate Lawsuit

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  On Friday, Carter Page — the former CIA informant whom the FBI nonetheless targeted for warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) — filed an explosive $75 million lawsuit against the key actors in the FISA surveillance scandal known as Spygate or Obamagate. While U.S. Attorney John Durham’s report into this matter is still forthcoming, Page appears to have decided to take matters into his own hands and pursue justice in the courts.

The lawsuit names a host of defendants, including the federal government of the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Justice (DOJ), former FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, former FBI agent Peter Strzok, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, FBI agent Joe Pientka III, and more….

Treasure and Dung

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21 (NASB) 

The doctrine of imputation is under severe attack in our day. Those who have made the mistake of seeking a peace with those who desire to change or do away with this doctrine have erred egregiously…. Continue reading

Help is on the way for understanding Sidney Powell’s Georgia complaint

(Andrea Widburg – American Thinker)  One of the biggest problems with 2020’s election fraud is creating an accessible narrative that doesn’t sound like just a mess of disparate statements and studies. Enter Doug Ross, who’s put together an attractive infographic that he describes as “so easy to consume, even Democrats can understand.” Moreover, he’s freely sharing it, so I’m taking advantage of that in this post.

On Wednesday night, Sidney Powell filed a 104-page complaint in Georgia, that pulls together all the allegations we’ve heard about regarding election fraud…. Continue reading
