14 And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. and we gazed upon his glory, glory as of the only one from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John testified about him and cried out saying, “This one was he whom I said, ‘The one coming after me ranks before me because he was prior to me.'”) 16 And from his fullness, we all received, even grace on top of grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, The one being in the bosom of the Father, that one explained him. John 1:14-18 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)
In John 1:18 the Apostle tells us that no one has ever seen God, but the Word who became flesh and tabernacled among us, that one, explained him. What got Jesus in hot water with the religious Jews during his earthly ministry? It was when he did that very thing and it was always in opposition to the presuppositions according to which the Scribes and Pharisees operated…. Continue reading
Let there be no doubt that Timothy Keller has leftist political and social justice leanings. The Gospel Coalition, which he co-founded with D.A. Carson, has become a theologically liberal organization and is drowning in wokeness. According to

(Charlie Spiering – Breitbart) President Joe Biden’s administration continues struggling to respond to the border crisis, as the White House remains unprepared to answer the most basic questions about what is going on and how they plan to handle it.
“Biden’s Justice Department is shaping up to be as hyperpartisan, relentless, and destructive as Barack Obama’s, perhaps more so since no one has been held responsible for perpetuating the Russian collusion hoax on the American people for more than three years.”
“…because of her opposition to Trump and her outspokenness in confronting sexism and nationalism in the evangelical world, she has been labeled a “liberal” and “woke” and even as being a heretic giving a message during a Sunday morning church service.”
“Right-leaning lawmakers are right to demand an end to these subversive practices. There is no other way to stop them than to use legislative power. Their constituents deserve a say in how their tax dollars are spent. It’s doubtful many of them want to fund lessons to teach their kids to hate themselves for being white.”
(Ian Haworth – Daily Wire) Since Joe Biden entered the 2020 presidential race, there have been ongoing concerns regarding his mental acuity. Instances of confusion are dismissed as lovable Biden “gaffes,” and lapses in speech are chalked up to a resurgence of Biden’s childhood stutter.
(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) President Joe Biden pulled out all the stops for International Women’s Day on Monday, but he arguably undercut women’s advancement while paying lip service to it. He issued a
“During Trump’s four years in Washington, Obama ran the shadow government out of his DC home, probably exerting more influence over the wheels of government than the man in the Oval Office did. Obama lined up whistleblowers, leaks to the press, and resistance to the president from within the government, including in the White House and the president’s cabinet. He advised “the gang of four” and other radicals on policy and presentation.”
Some of our trusted evangelical “leaders” do not have the brain power of a gnat, let alone spiritual discernment. That evangelicals would fall for the promises of Democrats who have been shown that they cannot be trusted time and time again is beyond belief. Aborting viable human beings is what people who are devoid of a conscience do. Why? Because Roe v. Wade gave them that “right.” For most Democrats, killing womb babies is not considered wrong. It is an entitlement.
“While Greear doesn’t go as far as to affirm homosexuality, Greear has insisted that the Scriptures only “whisper” about homosexuality while addresses other sins–such as greed or boasting–in a much greater way. He’s also called on Christians to stand up for LGBTQ rights.”
“Neither Meghan Markle nor her husband was willing to name names regarding the central accusation in the interview — that the royal family harbored racism and did not care for her needs. This accusation needs support, in part because claims of a “toxic environment” can be extremely subjective, and Markle may have wrongly interpreted some things as racist.”
(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Pope Francis went to Iraq today and met with Iraq’s principal Shi’ite leader, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, and, according to the
“We can only hope by then that while Northpoint remains closed, most of the congregants come under the conviction of the Holy Spirit and leave to find biblical churches led by pastors who don’t have their smarminess dialed to 10 and their deviltry cranked to 11.”
Castro and Che’s blood-lust against Americans was such that they sent their torturers thousands of miles to get their hands on (defenseless) ones. According to the book Honor Bound, the tortures of U.S. POWs by Castro’s agents were “the worst sieges of torture any American withstood in Hanoi.”
“Christian organizations develop blind spots in part because their board directors are drafted for their financial support for the organization’s mission and because they believe in the organization’s leaders and are often their friends.”
“Jesus told us to love our enemies, but they are still our enemies. They are not our friends. We are called to destroy their worldview: We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).”
(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) Nine years ago, a gay couple went into Masterpiece Cakeshop and asked baker Jack Phillips to craft a cake to celebrate their same-sex wedding. Phillips refused, based on his Christian conviction that marriage is between one man and one woman, but he offered to sell the men anything else in the shop. They reported him to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, sparking a six-year legal battle up to the Supreme Court. Shortly after the Supreme Court found in favor of Phillips, a transgender lawyer targeted the Christian baker, beginning the battle all over again.
