‘Gay Christian’ Musician Reveals ‘Dark Cloud over the Christian Music Industry’

“The Christian music industry thrives in hiding things that are supposedly wrong and make it all taboo. If one of these people would come out it could change countless lives & possibly force the Christian music industry to change or crumble. Either one would be a positive step forward.‬”

(PNP)  Trey Pearson, the former frontman and lead singer of the Christian Band Everyday Sunday’ who came out as openly, flamboyantly gay in 2016, released a Facebook post with his reflections on the Christian Music industry, taking shots and sharing insight into what he calls the ‘dark cloud over the Christian music industry.’ Continue reading

Donald Trump’s Lawyer to Represent John MacArthur in California Church Shutdown Against Gov. Newsom

“Grace Community Church, its Elder Board, and Pastor MacArthur have been the target of unconstitutional religious discrimination by the City of Los Angeles and the State of California, amid the state’s order to cease in-person church assembly indefinitely.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Quite literally, Donald Trump has been more of a friend to Christianity than most Evangelical leaders today…. Continue reading

Even Ellen DeGeneres is getting canceled because she hasn’t bowed low enough for the progressive mob

“Remember that as you read the deluge of hit pieces on Ellen that are emerging now almost daily. Kindness does not motivate this crowd of moralizing scolds. Revenge does.”

(Peter Heck – Disrn)  Less than a month ago, I wrote a piece right here about the dangerous incarnation of these modern-day woke witch trials that are destroying the livelihoods of people for not being perfect…. Continue reading

Tucker reacts to leaked George Floyd footage: ‘Why haven’t we seen the rest of the video until right now?’

“You can decide for yourself what you think of that video. And we hope you will. That’s the whole point of having a news network, to bring you the facts and allow you to decide what they amount to.” 

(Fox News)  The American people should have been allowed to see police body camera footage of the moments before Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pinned George Floyd‘s neck under his knee much sooner than this week, Tucker Carlson argued Tuesday. Continue reading

The King of Heaven is able to Humble those Who Walk in Pride

1 Nebuchadnezzar the king to all the peoples, nations, and men of every language that live in all the earth: “May your peace abound! 2 It has seemed good to me to declare the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done for me. 3 “How great are His signs And how mighty are His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom And His dominion is from generation to generation. Daniel 4:1-3 (NASB) 

The deepest, widest blind spot that most professing Christians have is that they are convinced their religion pleases God. Pride disguises itself in many different ways…. Continue reading

Mohler And MacArthur Have Conflicting Views On Governor Mandated Church Shut Downs

“While Mohler may consider what Grace and other churches are doing as malpractice, he diagnoses all problems while offering no solutions. He says that we ought to respect temporary guidelines, but we are entering our 6th month of lockdown. How long must a church sit on their hands? Half a year is a long type of temporary. When precisely does the temporarily turn into the intolerable? One year in? Two?”

(PNP) Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president Dr. Albert Mohler kicked off a new season of the Briefing by accusing his friend, Dr. John MacArthur of Grace Community Church of “malpractice” by choosing to open up five months into the pandemic and not staying shut down for an indeterminable time. Continue reading

Ministries and Churches Receiving More than $1-M in Paycheck Protection Program Funds

(Warren Cole Smith – Ministry Watch)   This month’s MinistryWatch list is a departure for us because it is not a list curated from our own database.  It is a list of all evangelical Christian ministries and churches that received at least $1-million from the Paycheck Protection Program.

This list includes more than 400 ministries, and we have sorted them by state so you can more easily find the ministries in your city. Continue reading

John MacArthur stands firm: Grace Community Church will not shut down

“As the context plainly shows, Pastor MacArthur was talking about pastors who are doing what Andy Stanley and JD Greear have done—namely, they have stopped gathering as a church and made small home groups a long-term substitute for congregational worship.”

(Phil Johnson – Pyromaniacs)  Gavin Ortlund has written a blogpost titled “Should Churches in California Defy Government Restrictions? A Response to John MacArthur.” Time won’t permit me to go through his entire post, but I want to clarify one point that Ortlund gets wrong, because it’s a crucial one, and I’ve seen it repeated several times on Twitter….

Trump to mobilize military to deliver COVID vaccine to millions ‘very, very quickly’

(Martin Bürger – LifeSiteNews)  Amid growing concerns about the safety and efficacy of a COVID-19 vaccine, President Donald Trump has announced his administration is “all set to march when it comes to the [coronavirus] vaccine,” with a military general overseeing the logistics of delivering the still-in-development product.

“I think you’re going to see something that’s going to be spectacular,” Trump said on Thursday. “The FDA has approved things at a rate that’s a tiny fraction of what it would … take during another administration.” Continue reading

The Multi-Dimensional Scroll

As we study the Book of Revelation and other prophetic books in both the Old and New Testaments, we must take care not to take symbolic language we study and try to make it literal nor should we take literal language we study and try to make it symbolic. Revelation is highly symbolic. For instance, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is portrayed as a Lamb in much of the book. Is He a lamb? In chapter 5 v5 the Lamb is the only one found worthy to take the scroll from the Father’s hand and open it. When John sees Him, he describes Him as a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. This cannot be taken literally…. Continue reading

Todd White Responds to Claims He’s Been Preaching the Wrong Gospel–and He’s not Happy

“Many thought that the change to Todd was due to newly being exposed to Whitfield, Spurgeon, and Comfort, but it turns out that he’s been reading them for years, and yet has still engaged in his shenanigans. He also mentions Dr. Michael Brown, a decidedly poor resource, and yet Brown will be speaking at White’s Chuch on August 16th. Birds of a feather.”

(PNP)  Evangelist Todd White is pushing back on claims that he repented for not preaching the full gospel and is now newly saved, declaring that he’s been taken out of context and that his critics are sinning in doing so. Continue reading

Los Angeles County Threatens John MacArthur With Arrest for Holding Worship Services

“This is much more than a war on the rights and liberties afforded us by the Constitution — this is now an outright war against God and His people.” 

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  In what is quickly devolving into a Church vs State showdown between pastor of Grace Community Church, John MacArthur and the state and local governments of Los Angeles, California, it appears that MacArthur has now been threated with the possibility of arrest for continuing to hold worship services against the state and county’s mandate against gatherings. Continue reading

Case Against Gen. Flynn Went Up to Obama, Biden

“They knew that the coverup that they were planning to hide, what they tried to do to Trump, they knew Michael Flynn would figure it out.”

(Sandy Fitzgerald – NewsMax)  The case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn went all the way up to then-President Barack Obama and his vice president, current presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden, Rep. Jim Jordan claimed in an interview Friday. Continue reading

Shakedown: BLM Demands Cut of Louisville Business Profits for Protection

The letter includes neo-Marxist assertions, decrying “gentrification” as a “process [that] has been happening to black, indigenous, and persons of color at the hands of white, heterosexual patriarchy since the inception of this nation we call home. Black folx [sic] can’t ‘have their own space’ when wealthy white folks see an opportunity to make more money.”

(Robert Kraycik – Breitbart)  Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters issued “social justice” and “black liberation” demands regarding “diversity” to a restaurant owner in Louisville, KY, including a directive for “donations” to organizations run by non-whites. Continue reading

The Great Day of God’s Wrath has Come, and Who can Stand?

1 Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “Come.” 2 I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. 3 When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.” 4 And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.   Revelation 6 (NASB)  Read verses 6-17 on the site. 

In Revelation 6 we have the Lamb opening the first six seals of the Scroll. Revelation 7 forms a parenthetical statement between the Sixth and Seventh Seals. It is the answer to the question asked in 6:17…. Continue reading

The Time of the End

20 Come, my people, enter into your rooms And close your doors behind you; Hide for a little while Until indignation runs its course. 21 For behold, the Lord is about to come out from His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; And the earth will reveal her bloodshed And will no longer cover her slain. Isaiah 26:20-21 (NASB) 

God is Sovereign! He has always been and always will be Sovereign. I use Gmail as my main email. Unfortunately Google embeds ads in the interface just above the control buttons.

Leftists Burning Bibles Now, Christians Later

“In times past, the American public and elites would deplore this conduct. Today, it is cheered from by the masses, the elites and the nation’s rulers. Woe is coming. Even great woes to such a nation and people.”

(Capstone Report)  Protesters in Portland burned Bibles outside the federal courthouse, according to new video. The video highlights the godless goals of the Neo-Marxist Woke Mobs. Mobs in some cities burned churches and now it is Bibles. What’s next? Continue reading

John MacArthur Says JD Greear Doesn’t Know What A Church Is, Doesn’t Know How To Shepherd His People

“MacArthur released a video statement last night explaining his strong stance for continuing to keep his church open…”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  John MacArthur has been one of the few glimmers of light as a biblical shepherd during the coronavirus pandemic. As most churches are caving to the demands of the state to shutdown or limit worship, MacArthur has declared that his church will obey God rather than man. Continue reading

Government lockdowns are proving just as deadly as the virus

“Realities like the fact that it is the height of hubris for you, me, them, or some panel of bureaucrats to determine for everyone else what is “essential” and “nonessential” business. Our well-intentioned efforts to do that several months ago have proven fiscally and psychologically catastrophic.”

(Peter Heck – Disrn)  I about swallowed my tongue when I sat down at the table to try to ease into the news of the day, and instead saw this from NBC: Continue reading

Sin Enters the World

Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.  – Romans 5:12

Caught up in the glorious truth of justification by faith alone that he had defined in Romans 3:21–4:25, Paul could not help but to explore in 5:1–11 some of the practical benefits that flow from the doctrine—peace with God, access into God’s presence, the outpouring of divine love, and so on. In Romans 5:12–21, however, the Apostle returns to the doctrine of justification by faith alone and focuses on two main issues that he has not yet explored in great detail… Continue reading

Dr. Fauci: ‘There’s No Inconsistency’ in Banning Church and Business But Allowing Mass Protests

“The very first one the Founders mentioned was the right to practice your faith, but government’s putting all kinds of limits on Americans’ ability to do that, and Democrats are just fine with it,” Jordan said. ” I want consistency, that’s what I want.” … “Kids can’t go get what they need to put them on the path to achieving the American dream, but boy they can protest. The ability to engage in your livelihood, the ability to have your kids get an education, the ability to practice your faith are just as important, in my mind, as protesting.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Friday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) pressed Dr. Anthony Fauci on whether the government should restrict the massive Black Lives Matter protests across the country in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus…. Continue reading

Clinton Was With Epstein On Private Island At Same Time As ‘2 Young Girls,’ Witness Claims In Unsealed Court Docs

“I actually attempted to interview Clinton, but he did not agree to do so, and I know from the pilot logs, and these are pilot logs that, you know, were written by different pilots and at different times, that Clinton went, he was a guest of Epstein’s 27 times.”

(Ryan Saavedra – Daily Wire)  Court documents from a lawsuit involving deceased accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein were unsealed on Thursday night despite objections from Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite who was recently arrested by federal authorities for allegedly engaging in sex trafficking.

Obama’s Senior Law Enforcement and Intel Officials Were ‘Criminals, All of Them, Lock, Stock and Barrel’

“So the question becomes, why did they do that?  And the answer is actually pretty simple, they hated Donald Trump and they wanted to destroy him.  They wanted Hillary Clinton to be President, she didn’t make it, so they had to destroy him.” 

(Joe Hoft – Gateway Pundit) Former US Attorney Joe DiGenova was again on his regular Monday morning meeting with Mornings at the Mall.  He is well versed in what is going on in the swamp and apparently has some pretty good contacts as he seems more connected than most. Continue reading

Still Not Free: Full D.C. Circuit to Hear Judge’s Appeal in Michael Flynn Case

(Joel B. Pollak – Breitbart)  The Kafkaesque trial of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn continues, as the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit agreed to hear Judge Emmet Sullivan’s appeal from a decision by a three-judge panel ending the case.

Last month, in a 2-1 decision, the D.C. Circuit granted Flynn’s request for a writ of mandamus compelling Sullivan to dismiss the case after the Department of Justice filed a motion requesting that the charges against Flynn be withdrawn. Continue reading

Hope

4 For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Romans 15:4 (NASB) 

The role of a Christian writer primarily focusing on the growing apostasy in the church is a tough one. As the Lord shows us what is really going on in the church that is Christian in name only it is easy to become overwhelmed. If we focus on the these things to the exclusion of our devotion to our Lord we will find in short order that these battles take a heavy toll. They cannot be fought in our strength alone. Fortunately, we can remain in the fight in obedience to our Lord as long as we are doing battle while yoked to our Lord. Continue reading
