(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) In the name of Black Lives Matter, rioters shut down the streets in Kenosha, Wisc., setting trucks on fire, patrolling the streets with semi-automatic rifles, and ransacking nearby businesses. The riot followed the release of a viral video showing Kenosha police repeatedly shooting a black man who resisted arrest and reached into his truck. The man, identified as 29-year-old Jacob Blake, appears to have a violent history. Blake is in critical condition at a nearby hospital, according to police. Continue reading

Christ will Reign Forever
13 I will be his father and he shall be My son; and I will not take My lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him who was before you. 14 But I will settle him in My house and in My kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever.”’” 1 Chronicles 17:13-14 (NASB)
God is Sovereign. He is at no one’s beck and call. He is not subject to anyone. Men may indeed insist that God must follow their ideas of who He is and what He will or won’t do, but these things come from flawed Human reason…. Continue reading
Walking by Faith
1 For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, 3 inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked. 2 Corinthians 4:1-10 (NASB) Read verses 4-10 on the site.
If we read this passage phrase by phrase, we see that Paul is telling the Corinthian Church that “we know” things. What things? We know that our bodies will die, but at that moment we have a body “made not with hands” that is eternal. Knowing this, we “walk by faith” instead of by sight. What does Paul mean by this? Continue reading
Are Local Gathering and Mask Mandates Constitutional?
“An easy rule of thumb to discover state and local overreach is this: civil government derives all its just powers from We the People. We the People can only grant to civil government powers to do things we could do ourselves. We hire them as our servants, delegate to them tasks we could do….”
(Jake MacAulay – News With Views) You’re a good parent. Let’s suppose you think it wise to buy a watchdog in order to protect your little girl from any intruders who may wish to do her harm. Continue reading
Redefining Radical: The Case Against Kamala Harris
“It’s common knowledge that Kamala Harris began her career in an adulterous affair with former San Francisco Mayor, Willie Brown, who then appointed her to at least one position in government. Brown was 60 years old and Harris was just 29 at the time. So Kamala Harris, the strong, outspoken feminist candidate talking about the ‘year of the woman’ had a little help early in her career. Interesting.”
(David Fiorazo) Kamala Harris, the woman that, if Joe Biden becomes president, would be a heartbeat away from the most powerful position in the free world. Who is she?… Continue reading

Twitter screenshot @BusyDrT
“Gov Janet Mills says – servers must now wear face shields upside down so that their breath is directed up, not down. Yes she wants you to wear a dog cone… peak insanity. I wish this was a joke.. its real.”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) As if things couldn’t get any more bizarre with the state of Maine’s response to its trickling number of COVID-19 cases, now comes word that restaurant servers will be required to wear cones of shame.
This is not fake news. It’s too real. Continue reading
Dr. Marc Siegel calls Biden’s willingness to lock down US this winter ‘very disturbing’
(Sam Dorman – Fox News) It is “very disturbing” to hear Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden say he would be willing to put the country through another costly economic shutdown this winter if elected due to a combination of seasonal flu and coronavirus, Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel told “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Friday.
“First of all, we’re not even predicting a severe flu season because in the Southern Hemisphere, we’re not seeing it,” Siegel told host Tucker Carlson. Continue reading
‘Seeing is Believing’ Or ‘You Can’t Trust Your Lyin’ Eyes’
“Let’s face it. If a dog isn’t a dog, mom is now dad, and a boy classmate is now Susie . . . the foundations have just been removed from under the children’s feet. If these young children can no longer trust their obvious lyin’ eyes, how will they know that 2+2 will always be 4? What is constant and what isn’t?”
(What’s Inside Children’s Books) Reality is defined as: “the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.” Reality is not subjective. Continue reading
Does Francis Chan Plan to Join Hank Hanegraaff in Apostasy to Eastern Orthodoxy?
“In a recent interview with Hanegraaff, Chan discusses the doctrine of transubstantiation as they make a number of dubious claims about the origin and authority of God’s word, the relationship between Protestantism and aberrant expressions of Christianity such as Roman Catholicism. Around the 40-minute mark, it becomes clear that none of these men are satisfied in Christ by hearing His word preached — they all demand more than that.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Several years ago, we broke the news that Hank Hanegraaff — known as “The Bible Answer Man” — had departed the faith deeply held by Protestants rooted on the five solas and, particularly, salvation by grace alone through faith alone, and joined the Eastern Orthodox Church….

Doctors Worldwide Are Recording More Deaths Due to Lockdowns Than to COVID-19
“Hospitals have also reported a significant drop in admissions for other serious conditions, and even urgent referrals between hospitals have dissipated. This is a side effect of hysterical media reports and politicians overextending their reach of power. By overhyping the threat of this virus, they are compelling people to avoid seeking out urgent emergency services.”
(Brad Slager – Townhall) A long-suspected fear of the Covid-19 lockdowns is starting to come to light. In many parts of the world doctors are pointing to a very real probability that lockdown orders are leading to people dying from other serious maladies as a result of avoiding hospitals….

New Book Examines John Piper’s Hedonism and Sam Alberry’s Homosexuality
“Allberry’s insistence on using and popularising the phrase ‘same-sex attracted’ must be examined carefully as it is central to his message. He uses the phrase widely throughout his book and in his speaking engagements. Before critiquing this phrase, however, it may be useful to consider the importance of language and its power for good or for evil.”
(PNP) An excellent book is now available that examines the teachings of two of the most influential figures among evangelicals today: “The Hedonism and Homosexuality of John Piper and Sam Allberry: Turning the Grace of God into Lasciviousness.” Continue reading
Healthy Christians Long to know God’s Will
1 As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So my soul pants for You, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God;
When shall I come and appear before God? Psalms 42:1-2 (NASB)
Spiritually healthy Christians have a deep desire to know God’s will thereby knowing where God wants them to be as well as doing what God wants them to do…. Continue reading
Why Is The Media Suppressing Information About Hydroxychloroquine’s Effectiveness Against COVID?
“So what is the real story on hydroxychloroquine? Here, briefly, is what we know.”
(Steven Hatfill – The Federalist) On July 31, in a column ostensibly dealing with health care “misinformation,” Washington Post media critic Margaret Sullivan opened by lambasting “fringe doctors spouting dangerous falsehoods about hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 wonder cure.” Continue reading
U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr takes on Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and other domestic terrorists
(David Kaminer – LifeZette) The scum who have been terrorizing American cities are finding out there is a tough sheriff in charge at the Department of Justice. More than 200 miscreants have been charged with federal crimes and more than 1,000 arrests have been made in major cities since the DOJ launched Operation Legend in July, U.S. Attorney General William Barr said on Wednesday. Barr also noted over 400 firearms have been seized by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Yeah, those “peaceful protesters” seem to have had lots of firepower. Continue reading

Kenneth Copeland to be Booted From TBN
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Kenneth Copeland is a multi-millionaire — a self-proclaimed billionaire, in fact — with a personal private jet and a mansion fit for a king. Copeland has gained his wealth by fleecing unsuspecting people in the name of Jesus in exchange for a false gospel — the prosperity gospel. Continue reading
And the Word became flesh
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. (John 1:14 translated from the NA28 Greek text)
One of my favorite passages in Sacred Scripture is Psalms 23. One part of that really speaks to me is v3 where David wrote about God saying, “He restores my soul;” There are many times where I find myself in a place where I desperately need for God to do for me what David describes in this Psalm.

Reminder: Critical race theory isn’t scriptural
“I think a lot of what we’re seeing from some of these woke evangelical leaders is just virtue signaling, and it’s politicized thought wrapped in Bible verses.”
(Steve Jordahl – OneNewsNow) A former news and religion reporter with more than 25 years of Christian broadcasting experience says accusing the evangelical Church of being steeped in white supremacy is just some evangelical leaders’ way of trying to be relevant in today’s “woke” culture.

Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
3 Do not desire his delicacies,
For it is deceptive food.
4 Do not weary yourself to gain wealth,
Cease from your consideration of it.
5 When you set your eyes on it, it is gone.
For wealth certainly makes itself wings
Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. Proverbs 23:3-5 (NASB)
The god of the natural man is self. Worship of self revolves around self-gratification. This idolatry is enhanced in a consumer driven economy such as in the United States…. Continue reading
Media Fearmongering Has Led To Misconceptions About Risk Of Death From COVID-19
“This, sadly, comes as no surprise. Fear and anger are the most reliable drivers of engagement; scary tales of young victims of the pandemic, intimating that we are all at risk of dying, quickly go viral; so do stories that blame everything on your political adversaries. Both social and traditional media have been churning out both types of narratives in order to generate more clicks and increase their audience.”
(Ashe Schow – Daily Wire) New research suggests Americans have developed many misconceptions about their risk of death from the coronavirus pandemic…. Continue reading
Tim Keller Joins Leftist “&Campaign”
“Who is Tim Keller? Is he Friend or Foe to the church and it’s place in American culture for the future? Time will tell but, given that his circles of influence just SPLIT HIS OWN DENOMINATION, things are not looking good for an honest assessment of Tim Keller and his legacy.”
(Thomas Littleton – Thirty Pieces of Silver) For years those who have followed Tim Keller closely have been warning about his true leftward political and social justice leanings. Now even the most skeptical fan of Christianity’s ”great thinker” can see where he stands and what values drive the man behind the theological mask…. Continue reading
