1 Now on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing, 5 and when the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead? 6 He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, 7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” Luke 24:1-7 (LSB)
The philosophy of Secularism is the driving force behind the collapse of the Christian World View with it being replaced with that of Secular Humanism. This view contends that there is no possibility of any person knowing or finding absolute truth. It demands that all religions be considered equal with each relinquishing its claims of exclusivity….

(Robb Brunansky – The Cripplegate) After Paul Washer’s sermon at Shepherds Conference on Friday afternoon, a firestorm erupted on social media criticizing one particular aspect of the sermon. Washer detailed his final visit with the late John MacArthur, sharing what he said to MacArthur during his time with him last March. Washer inquired about the condition of MacArthur’s soul and followed up that question by asking about MacArthur’s fellowship with Christ as his life drew near its close.
“Federal law enforcement agencies have already brought criminal cases involving fraudulent health insurance enrollments tied to government subsidy payments. Several investigations focused on agents who created fake accounts or moved consumers to different plans to generate commissions; those cases demonstrated how vulnerable the system can become when large subsidy payments move through private brokers…”
“The opinions on the subject of health have always been diverse and dizzying. Advice changes as time passes. Red meat is bad. Red meat is good. Eggs give you cholesterol. No, eggs are good. In the 1970s we were told that a strict, low-fat, high-carb diet was the way to go. In the 1990s and 2000s, low or no-carb and healthy fat was the best diet. Like the weather, wait a while and it’ll change.”
It won’t matter if the government of Iran falls. The fatwas against Rushdie and others are eternal. The very nature of the fatwas requires the faithful to kill for Islam. The fatwa’s power is that “it is a few sentences read aloud on Radio Tehran, mere breath, that will remain its most successful method of exporting the Islamist revolution, even after the murderous regime it created goes down.”
(Protestia) Greg Laurie’s Harvest Christian Fellowship church was hit with a 201-page federal lawsuit last Friday, according to a story by The Roys Report.
“…criticizing the removal of the terror regime is off-the-charts lunacy. How many innocent people does Iran have to kill before the Democratic Party begins supporting forced change in Tehran? Is the recent murder of an estimated 30,000 Iranian protesters not enough for Senator Charles Schumer and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to get angry? Nope. They apparently despise Trump more than the Mullahs.”
“I also want to apologize for specific careless words I spoke when I said that people were “so foolish” for ditching Mike “because you heard something from a friend.” When I said that, I had in mind common theological critiques and unverified criticisms. In light of everything that came out afterwards, I regret saying that, as I realize I could have discouraged people who had legitimate concerns or given the impression that silence is best when there is real abuse or unrepentant sin.”
“President Trump understands that you can’t make enemies go away by pretending that they’re not there. Whether it’s the border, the economy or anything else, he knows that change requires going through the crisis, not retreating backward and hoping that it will somehow go away.”
(Robb Brunansky – The Cripplegate) Angels appear frequently throughout Scripture, signaling that God intends His people to understand these spiritual beings and their role within His creation and redemptive purposes. Cultural fascination with angels persists, largely driven by portrayals in entertainment media, yet these popular depictions often bear little resemblance to the biblical witness. In contrast to cinematic or fictional representations, Scripture presents angels as created spiritual servants who exist to glorify God and carry out His will. This article examines the biblical teaching concerning the nature, characteristics, roles, and contemporary relationship of angels to believers. 
As contemplative mysticism becomes the norm within mainstream evangelicalism we’re witnessing more acceptance of hyper-charismaticism.
(The Dissenter) “Yes, Democrats are evil, but Republicans…” I always hear the David French types, the Phil Vischer types, the JD Greear types, attempt to argue that Republicans are some kind of “opposite” evil from Democrats. These center-leftists, for lack of a better term, will often concede that the left has gone too far with its embrace of abortion on demand or LGBTQ ideology. But then they attempt to equalize it by turning it back on conservatives.
(Crystal Rose Wilson) James White offers a critical examination of James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Texas, focusing on his controversial theological and political viewpoints, particularly in relation to the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. – slide the bar to 3:30.
(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwest Christian Outreach) As human beings, we cannot know the heart of another. We certainly do not know someone’s spiritual condition as it relates to the Lord. However, determining whether individual Progressives are Christian is a completely different question than determining if Progressive Christianity is Christian. This is hardly a new issue. In his excellent 1923 book, Christianity and Liberalism, J. Gresham Machen compared and contrasted historic Christian teachings with those of theological liberals. At times he would say liberals are religious but not Christian. He didn’t speak to individual salvation but rather the overall doctrines in essential areas. In the Introduction he commented on why these sorts of questions are important, 
“A “nonbinary” gender identity is neither male nor female, but rather a rejection of the notion that humans are male or female. In other words, it’s a direct rejection of the clear biblical teaching that human beings are male and female.”
“Look at the map. 338,000+ red dots. Unique IP addresses trading, distributing, and sharing child sexual abuse material… children under 12.”
(David Manney – PJ Media) 
…NAR, the New Apostolic Reformation. … It is like Grape Nuts – it’s not grapes and it’s not nuts. It’s like Christian Science – it’s not Christian and it’s not scientific. Well, the New Apostolic Reformation isn’t new, it isn’t apostolic, and it isn’t a reformation. But it is a rapidly expanding movement being generated by some of the same old troubling false teachers and false leaders that have been around in Charismania for decades, always dishonoring the Holy Spirit, always dishonoring the Scripture, always claiming miracle signs, wonders, visions, dreams. ~ John MacArthur
