Researchers Admit Study Claiming Positive Mental Health Outcomes of ‘Sex Change’ Operations Was Wrong

(The Christian Institute)  Researchers who claimed transgender people who undergo surgery to ‘change sex’ have better mental health outcomes have admitted their widely-shared study was wrong.

Last year, Swedish researchers Dr Richard Bränström and Dr John Pachankis claimed that people who have surgery to try and change sex are less likely to need mental health treatment than those who don’t…. Continue reading

Daniel’s Vision of the Four Beasts

1 And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore.  Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. 2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. Revelation 13:1-4 (NASB)  Read verse 3-4 on the site

It is time to prayerfully step into the prophetic section of Daniel. I have had quite a bit of anxiety about tackling these books that are deeply eschatological. Why? My method of Bible teaching is to simply expound Scripture…. Continue reading

California Threatens John MacArthur’s Church with Hefty Fines for Defying Lockdown

(Penny Starr – Breitbart)  Pastor John MacArthur and Grace Community Church in a Los Angeles suburb have been served a letter from the city threatening to impose a $1,000 daily fine if the church does not comply with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s order for some churches in the state to be shuttered because of the coronavirus.

“The state has absolutely no power to impose the restrictions it is demanding,” Jenna Ellis, one of the attorneys representing the church, said in a report on The Federalist website. “This is not about health and safety, it is about targeting churches.” Continue reading

Joe Biden Is Absolutely the Vehicle for the Communist Takeover of the Democrat Party

“The AfGJ is also a communist organization. Its mission is overtly collectivist and internationally focused. These are the communists that fought the fascists back in the early 20th century. While none of these organizations claim association with antifa, you can bet you will find the shock troops at upcoming events.” 

(Stacey Lennox – PJ Media)  Democrat nominee Joe Biden had his wife, Jill, interview with Dana Perino. One has to wonder if she ended up filling in because Joe has so many weird interview moments. While Jill vehemently denied Biden has any cognitive issues, that wasn’t even the funniest part of the interview. Continue reading

Holland’s Top Scientists Say There’s No Evidence Face Masks Work — And May Actually Cause More Harm

(Eric A. Blair – Gateway Pundit) Holland’s top scientists have examined data and research about COVID-19 and declared there is no clear evidence that wearing face masks protects — anyone.

In fact, the scientists say wearing masks may actually hamper the fight against virus.

“Face masks in public places are not necessary, based on all the current evidence,” said Coen Berends, spokesman for the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment. “There is no benefit and there may even be negative impact.” Continue reading

Portland police chief says riots not helping cause of racial justice: ‘Enough is enough’

“As a Black man and a public servant, I see that spectacle is drowning out the voices that need to be heard to make positive change,” he wrote. “This violence is doing nothing to further the Black Lives Matter movement.”

(Brie Stimson – Fox News) Portland, Ore., police Chief Chuck Lovell on Wednesday morning decried violent instigators who he said are marring the message of mostly peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters. Continue reading

The Handwriting on the Wall

5 Suddenly the fingers of a man’s hand emerged and began writing opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, and the king saw the back of the hand that did the writing. 6 Then the king’s face grew pale and his thoughts alarmed him, and his hip joints went slack and his knees began knocking together. Daniel 5:5-6 (NASB) 

God used Nebuchadnezzar to bring an end to the Judean kingdom. The kingdom of Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar was glorious. God blessed him and, as we saw in yesterday’s post, humbled him when he took credit for it all…. Continue reading

‘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.

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)

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
