Hallmark in ‘Active Negotiations’ to Include ‘LGBT Storylines’ in its Holiday Programming

Hallmark will be working with GLAAD to better represent the LGBTQ community across our portfolio of brands,” it stated. “The Hallmark Channel will be reaching out to Zola to reestablish our partnership and reinstate the commercials.”

(Heather Clark – Christian News)  The parent company of the popular Hallmark Channel, which is known for its romance movies, has revealed that the company is in “active negotiations” as it plans to include “LGBT storylines” in its “Countdown to Christmas” and “Miracles of Christmas” programming later this year.

What is Truth?

33 Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?” 35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?” 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.”  John 18:33-38 (NASB)  Read verses 37-38 on this site.

Is it important to God that His people know the truth? In the passage I placed at the top of this post, we see where Jesus, as He was being questioned by Pilate, made the statement that He came into the world to bear witness to the truth…. Continue reading

Christian Maturity and How it Relates to Discernment

12 Not that I have already received or have been completed, I press on that, if possible, to apprehend it because Christ Jesus has apprehended me. Philippians 3:12 (translated from the NA28 Greek Text)

I have been blogging since 2006. I have been online with Christian Research Network since 2007. Most of what I write would be classified as “devotional,” however, there have been times I have been led to expose some false teaching or to shine some light into some dark corners so believers could understand what was really happening in doctrinal issues facing all of us….

Obama DOD Started ‘Indoctrinating Our Troops’ on Racism and ‘Privilege,’ New Docs Show

It remains unclear if the DOD continues to use these teaching materials from the Obama administration. However, the July 2020 Navy HR newsletter Sailor Sailor encourages its audience to “take a hard look at how we are all affected by implicit bias and systemic racism.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  On Thursday, Judicial Watch obtained 1,483 pages of teaching materials from the Department of Defense (DOD) produced by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) during President Barack Obama’s tenure. The DOD’s “equal opportunity advisors” use the documents to train service members on diversity topics. Continue reading

Filthy Rich Health & Wealth Televangelist Has Died

“In 2005, Cerullo was indicted, but never convicted, for filing a fraudulent tax return. The indictment accused Cerullo of omitting “at least $290,000 in income.” After the charges were filed, Cerullo’s TV network amended its articles of incorporation and Cerullo was dropped from the board of directors. Cerullo’s son David then took control of the TV channel.”

(Trinity Foundation)  After preaching for 70 years, faith healer and televangelist Morris Cerullo has died at 88 years of age from pneumonia. Continue reading

Christian Author Matthew Paul Turner Comes Out as Gay, Announces Divorce

Photo credit: BioLogos

Turner joins Joshua Harris in announcing that he’s homosexual. Both Turner and Harris, who have children, divorced their wives to live the gay lifestyle. Harris even marched in a gay pride parade shortly after leaving his family.  Not to be outdone, Hillsong worship leader, Marty Sampson,  renounced his faith altogether on Instagram last year. No doubt there will be more of this sort of thing happening in the visible Church in the near future.

Now to Kathryn Post’s report. She writes:

Christian author Matthew Paul Turner came out as gay via Facebook and Instagram and announced that he and his wife, fellow writer Jessica Turner, are divorcing. Continue reading

Locking America Down Again Is Exactly What China Wants Because It Will Ruin Us

“Democrats spent three years spinning a presidential impeachment out of a few Facebook memes from Russian trolls and bots in 2016. This NYT article and a long ProPublica report provide evidence that the CCP has been using a far bigger propaganda campaign to destroy the United States through economic suicide and destruction of social cohesion. And it’s working.”

(Joy Pullmann – The Federalist)  The governors of Texas and California, the nation’s two most populous states, recently reimposed coronavirus lockdowns despite falling death rates and health-care capacity far beyond hospitalization rates. Numerous other governors have delayed reopenings or reversed them in similar situations. Continue reading

Silencing The Song of the South

“Guilt-ridden and fearful American corporations have been paying off Black Lives Matter to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars and movies like Song of the South threaten that flow of money.”  

(Gamaliel Isaac – American Thinker)  Splash Mountain was a thrilling log flume ride for children in Disney’s Magic Kingdom.  Children were taken on an exciting ride past animatronic characters singing classic songs from the 1946 Disney movie The Song of the South….

Southern Baptist Echo Chamber, SBC Voices, Accuses Tom Buck of Racism and Misogyny

“The bottom line, the Southern Baptist Convention has been completely engulfed by non-thinkers like Dave Miller who would rather stay in the loop with the elites in the convention than risk losing his place in line.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  Yesterday, Reformation Charlotte along with Tom Buck, a reformed pastor and PhD graduate of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and others broke the news that another prominent Southern Baptist seminary was teaching a method of biblical interpretation, known as hermeneutics, that is incompatible with historic, orthodox Christianity….

Did Trump Shame Portland’s Mayor Into Putting Down the Autonomous Zone? Sure Looks That Way…

“It seems that the DHS and Chad Wolf pressured Wheeler to act in the same fashion. Despite the mayor’s loud protestations, federal troops were coming to Portland. The 47 days of violence had to come to an end. Perhaps Wheeler thought that he would be in a better political position if he cleared out the CLAT himself. It would have been extremely embarrassing if DHS had to clear it out for him.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  On Tuesday night, antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters and anarchists attempted to seize property in Portland in the same way agitators seized property in Seattle, setting up the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) Occupied Protest (CHOP)…. Continue reading

America’s Survival Hangs in the Balance

“Every one of these proposals represents a radical blow to American cultural nationhood. Yet … six of them carry the support of more than 50 percent of committed liberals … Eight are backed by a majority of the 40 percent of liberals who identify as ‘very liberal.’ Some 80 percent of those who have made up their mind would replace the national anthem and constitution.”

(David Limbaugh – Townhall)  How long can this nation survive when its main cultural and educational institutions preach a relentless, unchallenged stream of anti-Americanism to young people (and others) who lack the background to resist this toxicity? Continue reading

How to Know if One is Abiding in Christ

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.  John 15:4-10 (NASB) Read verses 7-10 on the site.

For the first 20 or so years of my walk, I was in a very immature spiritual state. I was utterly convinced during that time that my worth as a disciple depended upon my performance, my learning, my obedience. Continue reading

Cancel Culture Comes to Church: Media Ignore Attacks on Christians

“According to the Media Research Center, out of 270 minutes on NBC, ABC, and CBS nightly news coverage for last Friday through Sunday (July 10 – 12), not one second was spent on these violent anti-Christian attacks. That includes the complicit silence from the God haters at CNN and MSNBC.”

(David Fiorazo) You didn’t believe me, did you? Just a few weeks back I reported on the destruction of statues and federal monuments and the ‘cancel culture’ which is a result of the anti-American programming this generation has been fed in public schools and anti-Christian universities. Then a BLM leader said take the destruction to the churches! Continue reading

Study Finds a Third of Regular Churchgoers Didn’t Watch Services Online During Pandemic

(Heather Clark – Christian News)  A study recently released by the Barna Group, led by longtime evangelical pollster George Barna, found that one-third of regular churchgoers questioned said that they did not watch services online and put church completely on pause during the apex of the pandemic. The number was even higher for those who identify as Millenials.

Barna published a report on Wednesday as part of its “New Sunday Morning” series, which analyzed church involvement during the pandemic. The research was conducted between April 28 and May 11 as 500 participants were asked about their church-related habits in the past month (late March – early April onward).

5 Arguments Against ‘America Is a Racist Country’

“The race riots, the ruining of people’s careers and lives over something said or done at any time in their lives, the ruining of professional sports (especially basketball and football), the tearing down of America and its history, the smearing of moral giants like Abraham Lincoln — all of this is being done because of a lie.”

(Dennis Prager – PJ Media)  The left-wing charge that America is a racist country is the greatest national libel since the Blood Libel against the Jews. America is, in fact, the least racist multiracial, multiethnic country in world history. Continue reading

The unhinged revolution is trying to make the U.S. into one big CHOP

Even the woke eventually fear the guillotine.

“There are only so many ways for adult-adolescents to chant monotonously “Eat the Rich! Kill the Pigs! Black Lives Matter!” blah, blah, blah. And there are only so many Road Warrior Antifa ensembles of black hoodies, black masks, black pants, and black padding — before it all it ends up like just another shrill teachers’-union meeting in the school cafeteria or a prolonged adolescent Halloween prankster show.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – National Review)  The Jacobin Left is just now beginning to get edgy. 

A few of its appeasers and abettors are becoming embarrassed by some of the outright racists and nihilists of BLM and the Maoists of Antifa — and their wannabe hangers-on who troll the Internet hoping to scalp some minor celebrity.  Continue reading

Profile of an Apostate

20 The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away. 22 And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Matthew 13:20-22 (NASB)

The Bible very clearly teaches that Christians should examine themselves quite often in order to see what their spiritual condition is. Genuine Christians are not perfect people. Neither are they always full of happiness, in perfect health while having plenty of money in the bank…. Continue reading

Hydroxychloroquine helped save coronavirus patients, study shows; Trump campaign hails ‘fantastic news’

(Fox News)  Researchers at the Henry Ford Health System in Southeast Michigan have found that early administration of the drug hydroxychloroquine makes hospitalized patients substantially less likely to die.

The study, published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, determined that hydroxychloroquine provided a “66% hazard ratio reduction,” and hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin a 71 percent reduction, compared to neither treatment. Continue reading

Disgraced ‘Christian Comedian’ John Crist Returns to Social Media – Is He Back?

“A quick perusal of the nearly 5000 comments shows an overwhelming excitement and eagerness for Crist’s imminent return, with fans putting their support behind him. We even saw a few recognizable faces, including Jessa Bentley, wife, alleged co-indulger, and enabler of infamous charismatic heretic Todd Bentley, as well as similarly disgraced Greg Locke, whose own indulges in matters of sexual impropriety have been extensively documented.”

(PNP)  Comedian John Crist, once the darling of the evangelical world before his reputation tanked and burst into flames after allegations of sexual misconduct came to light, is seemingly poised for a comeback and ready to rejoin the social media scene after a short sabbatical. Continue reading

Cast Your Burden On The Lord

12 For it is not an enemy who reproaches me, Then I could bear it; Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me, Then I could hide myself from him. 13 But it is you, a man my equal, My companion and my familiar friend; 14 We who had sweet fellowship together Walked in the house of God in the throng. Psalms 55:12-14 (NASB) 

As the great Apostasy of the Church deepens and widens it seems that even those we once looked up to as solid and faithful servants of the Most High are slipping into unbelief. It is these failures that seem to strike the hardest at our hearts. We even begin to wonder, “Who’s next?”… Continue reading

Millennials think their risk from COVID-19 is exponentially more than the true threat

“What is the infection fatality rate (IFR) for younger people? The CDC estimates a 0.05% IFR for everyone in the age cohort of 0-49. Other estimates based on Spain serology tests broken down by age suggest an even lower IFR for those 18-49.”

(Daniel Horowitz – Conservative Review)  There is no vaccine, effective treatment, or herd immunity for the virus of panic and fear sown by the media that is propagated straight to people’s brains from their smartphones…. Continue reading

Understanding What Is Happening in America: A Christian Response

“It has long been maintained by Marxist theorists that for socialism to truly work it must be implemented globally, thus achieving the highest stage of socialism: communism. Indeed, this was Marx’s own contention. There can be no free, capitalistic outliers, especially if they are successful in the manner that America surely is. I mean, how will you ever convince the impoverished masses that they live in a workers’ paradise if they can look over the fence and see that their neighbor has a pool, a shiny SUV, and a wife with all of her teeth? To put it in Hegelian terms, there can be no “antithesis,” and America is a swaggering anthesis.”

(Larry Alan Taunton)  There’s an evil logic behind the riots, flag burning, and statue-toppling, and it’s not just America that’s under attack—it’s the Christian faith that’s under assault. Continue reading

Is It OK for Christians to Push Back Against Authoritarian Governments and Other Wickedness?

Notice that Peter says, “every human institution,” not “unbelievers at every level.” Unbelievers at every level do not have “authority” to punish evil doers or to rule over us. The United States government is a “human institution.” The Constitution is our national “Caesar.” Based on the Constitution, we can “petition the government for a redress of grievances” (First Amendment) in terms of religion, speech, press, and assembly.”

(Gary De Marr – The American Vision) The Left is always pushing back against government policies they do not like…. Continue reading

Thugs Killed an Innocent One-Year-Old. Now the Family Has Questions for Black Lives Matter

(Beth Baumann – Townhall)  Late Sunday night, two gunmen opened fire on a family barbequing in Brooklyn. One-year-old Davell Gardner Jr. was shot in the stomach while in his stroller. He later died at a nearby hospital. Three others – all men in their late 20s to mid-30s – were shot but are expected to make a full recovery, The New York Times reported.

But now the family wants answers.

“For the cowards that did this, you should be ashamed of yourself because everybody talk about Black Lives Matter, what about baby lives?… Continue reading
