“In part I brought the reader up to speed on Beth Moore’s slide into mysticism and also gave a heads up on her unbiblical teaching and had planned to leave it at that. But then the news came that she made an appearance on Joyce Meyer’s TV show. This is the sort of news Beth fans should be made aware of, so I decided to include a bit about it here.”
==========================================
Appearing in part 1 is the phrase “low-information voter” (LIV) which is oft used by popular radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. Rush suggests that those who make up this population set are individuals who vote for a candidate or important issue having little or in most cases zero knowledge about either. LIVs are highly opinionated even when they have no idea what they’re talking about.
Also included in part 1 was the following quote from C. Edmund Wright. I appreciate the way he expands on the LIV concept:
But forget low-information voters for just a minute; the malignancy that is really destroying this country is low-information people with high-profile power and/or influence. You know, people who would lobby for, comment on, advocate for, or vote on laws like ObamaCare without any understanding of its real-world impact. Such felonies are then carried out by low-information bureaucratic microbes with the power to destroy lives and businesses with impunity, and a political and talking-head class with the access and sway to codify these common malfeasances. Destruction of private property and liberty – and these two concepts are not divisible – takes place in government cubicles every minute of every day across the country. And why not? (Source)
His thoughts fit nicely with what I’ve come to believe about many leaders in the evangelical community. Specifically, a large number of them are uninformed people with high-profile power and/or influence. The LIVs Wright’s pointing a finger at are liberals. Likewise many of the evangelicals that came to mind for me are liberals but because liberal has a negative connotation they prefer “progressive Christian” or “social justice Christian.” Take your pick. But whichever one you go with has its roots in communism. Continue reading
HERE’S WHAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED…
“But the “party of science” wisely seized the opportunity. The strong overpowered the weak in the biggest political power grab in modern U.S. history; the young sacrificed for the old. Our most vulnerable citizens, children and the elderly, were betrayed, in some cases killed, by the very same political interests purportedly devoted to protecting them.”
(Protestia) A worship session during a charismatic children’s conference had kids as young as four years old being encouraged to speak in tongues, prophecy, and get slain in the spirit, with rejoicing testimony that these young ones were “falling out under the power and crying and trembling.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Joe Biden, who claimed repeatedly during the 2020 election campaign that he would be a uniter, desperately wants you to give him credit for the unprecedented pace of COVID-19 vaccine development.
1 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 (NASB)

“There are scores of pseudo-scholars out there who openly posit disjointed erroneous interpretations of the Bible based on their own personal theology and sinful lifestyle and not simple exegesis. Brandon Robertson’s pretexting passages to fit his personal views are always embraced by the unstudied and extremely gullible.”
(Carlos Garcia – Blaze Media) MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell said that he’s been developing a social media application that would restore free speech to those who were banned by the mainstream tech platforms.
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) It has become clear to discerning Christians that the Spiritual Forces of Darkness engineered America’s shift to the far left. And anyone who chooses not to toe the line, anyone who won’t buy into the “woke” narrative or dares voice their disagreement with the totalitarian Left finds themselves “cancelled” (smeared, maligned, demeaned). This is especially true for followers of Jesus Christ.
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
(Matthew Impelli – Newsweek) Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor at
(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.”
