What will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?

15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Matthew 7:15 (LSB) 

The Church in our time appears huge, but this is only in appearance. It is thousands of miles wide, but only a fraction of an inch deep. Much of what claims to be Christian is not and proves it by what is actually its focus and what (or who) it actually worships. The focus has its foundation in pragmatism and its worship is nothing more than self-aggrandizement. They give lip service to their own version of “Jesus” who bears little if any resemblance to the Jesus we read of in God’s Word. This counterfeit Christianity is the majority while the true Church, which is made up of those saved by grace through faith because of God’s election and effectual calling is the minority….

New Survey Finds Half of Evangelicals Believe God Accepts All Religions, Church Attendance Not Important

(Protestia) A new ‘State of Theology’ survey by Liogoner Ministries, in conjunction with Lifeway research, has revealed the abject state of beliefs among American evangelicals, including nearly half of respondents who said “God accepts the worship of all religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.”

Rather than a generic poll of self-describing ‘Christians,’ Ligonier polled only evangelicals, which they define as people who “strongly agreed” with the following four statements: Continue reading

FBI Bombshell: 274 agents sent to Capitol for J6, many later complained they were political ‘pawns’

“Even worse, officers were assaulted in the streets in broad daylight with cameras rolling, and yet our response then was nothing like the Capitol Riots response on and after January 6, 2021. I do not recall a single instance where the FBI…made any attempt to put the resources behind the summer riots of 2020, as they did during the Capitol Riots,” the agent explained.”

(John Solomon – Just the News) FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI’s rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to “wokeness” and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years. Continue reading

Former FBI Director James Comey Indicted

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice, marking a dramatic development in one of the most politically explosive feuds in modern American history. The move comes just days after President Donald Trump publicly demanded his Justice Department act “now” to pursue Comey and other political rivals, escalating what critics already describe as a clear weaponization of federal law enforcement.

Voddie Baucham: A Fiery Voice for the Gospel Enters Glory

(David Morrill – Protestia) It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dr. Voddie Tharon Baucham, Jr., who entered the presence of his Savior on September 25, 2025, at the age of 56.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dr. Voddie Tharon Baucham, Jr., who entered the presence of his Savior on September 25, 2025, at the age of 56.

Founders Ministries shared:

“We are saddened to inform friends that our dear brother, Voddie Baucham, Jr., has left the land of the dying and entered the land of the living … Please pray for Bridget, their children, and grandchildren.”

The Left Calls Their People to Spill Blood in the Streets

“Democrats want Obama’s fundamental transformation. They want a full communist and socialist government and they won’t tolerate the right. RINOS are cooperating with them.”

(Mary Dowling) The hard left, now in full control of the Democrat Party is waging psychological warfare and the philosophical nature of it is taking root in the minds of Democrats. Opponents are evil, and words are violence, not their words, only the right’s words.

Unfortunately, the hardcore left has created a world where words are becoming violence…. Continue reading

Why the Left Kills

“They demand you affirm and celebrate the murder of the young, that you use their preferred pronouns, and most importantly of all, that you shut up about Christ and His Word. Their conscience condemns them, and when you join in that condemnation, they will call you a “bigot” and a “fascist” until their hatred festers so deeply that they are not only willing to insult you or try to get you fired from your job—they will eventually convince themselves it is morally right to kill you.”

(Harrison R. Kahrig – TruthScript) “If they are willing to kill children, don’t think they are above killing you.”

said this three years ago, and it is all the more true now.

If the left is willing to murder the most innocent and defenseless among us, they will be more than willing to kill you. They will take everything you love and crush it if you keep them from what they want. It doesn’t matter how gentle or reasonable you are. Continue reading

Elon Musk’s DOGE Uncovered the Biggest Health Care Heist in American History

“[T]hat’s how we’re being attacked now, and it’s not done by small-time operators, as you’re hearing about and you will read about. These are organized syndicates who are designing to hurt America. And why do they hurt our health care system? Well, CMS is probably the largest target of all, responsible for about $1.7 trillion dollars of disbursements. So, it’s a big target on our side. And they can pierce the veil of protection by just getting identifier numbers from our seniors or Medicaid recipients or others.”

(Victoria Taft – JP Media) What if I told you that cartels and other bad actors from around the world conspired to undermine the integrity of the health care system in the U.S. and came way too close to succeeding?… Continue reading

Salt and Light

25 Now many crowds were going along with Him, and He turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. 27 Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28 For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? 29 Lest, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ Luke 14:25-35 (LSB) Read verses 31-35 on the site.

When I was in High School a movie came out that was pretty popular and I have seen several times. It is supposedly based on the last few years of the life of Thomas More. The movie was “A Man for All Seasons.”… Continue reading

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do

35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to the ungrateful and evil. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Luke 6:35-36 (LSB)

A couple days ago I watched the memorial service for Charlie Kirk. One of the most moving parts of it for me was when Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow, spoke. She spoke how the man who was accused of murdering Charlie was exactly like those who Charlie had dedicated himself to rescue from the evil trap the world system had captured them into. She also tearfully said that she was using Jesus’ example on the cross of forgiving his executioners in forgiving Charlie’s murderer. I had to ask myself if I could do that. Look at our Lord’s command in the passage I posted above (Luke 6:35-36)…. Continue reading

Tylenol, Autism, and Team Trump

“Predictably, this announcement has generated intense responses, especially from the anti-Trump crowd, that are little more than knee-jerk contrarianism. For example, social media has started to see a rash of leftist pregnant women ingesting Tylenol to “prove” Trump wrong. One would think that rather than simply doing the opposite of what the administration advises, especially when it comes to the health of one’s baby, a mother would take the time to research the issue and confer with her doctor before engaging in potentially dangerous behavior.”

(Thomas Gallatin – The Patriot Post) Does Tylenol cause autism? Well, according to the Trump administration, it just might.

“Taking Tylenol is not good,” President Donald Trump asserted in a major announcement regarding recent assessments his administration has made into addressing the growing problem of autism…. Continue reading

Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers

16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. 18 In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures. James 1:16-18 (LSB) 

The test of true faith is that which is revealed in how one lives and walks through this life. Right belief, that is, a faith that lives in a regenerate heart born from above, is exhibited in right living as James, the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ wrote in the passage above. Notice also that he began that passage in v16 with, “Do not be deceived,” or Μὴ πλανᾶσθε from the Greek…. Continue reading

Yet Another ‘Day of Visibility’ For the Godless Sexual Revolutionaries

“When the church treats visibility as harmless and preaches that the Scriptures only whisper about such sin, it’s no better than Israel bowing before Baal. God will not leave His name mocked. What the world wants visible is not identity but idolatry. And Scripture has already promised us where idolatry ends—in wrath, in exile, in destruction, and for some, by His grace, in the breaking that leads to repentance.”

(The Dissenter) I didn’t wake up this morning needing another reminder that sin wants to be celebrated. Yet here we are—“Bisexual Day of Visibility.” Apparently, the world’s calendar didn’t already have enough carved-out hours to exalt rebellion. Continue reading

New Strain of Trump Derangement Syndrome Confuses Jesus With Hitler

“It’s obvious that the leftist range of emotion regarding people of faith runs from contemptuous disdain to frothing hatred. They only have compassion for religious types who feature suicide vests in their worship and want to kill all the Jews. But if you raise your voice in prayer to Jesus, you’re a Nazi.” 

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Someone recently remarked that what I’ve been writing lately seems conversational, like I’m in the middle of a dialogue with you fine readers, only I’m typing my part of it. I think I’ve always approached writing that way, but I’m noticing it more now that it was mentioned…. Continue reading

Thoughts on Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Service and the State of the American Church

“Every bit of political corruption and death we are seeing now is a symptom. And political activism can only deal with symptoms. Even if we got every political “win” we wanted, the country would still be drowning in its own demonic immorality.”

(Greg Smith) Charlie Kirk’s life was cut short on September 10, 2025, when he was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University. His assassination took the nation by surprise and galvanized millions.

This culminated in a massive public memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Arizona—a packed event with dignitaries, politicians, pastors, and friends filling the seats and the stage. It was a moment meant to be unifying, cathartic, and resolute. Continue reading

The Cross of Christ separates the living from the dead

19 After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also. John 14:19 (LSB) 

When our Lord spoke of the “world” in John 14:19, he was talking about those in this temporal existence who are not believers. They are not true Christians even though some in that group may profess to be so. In this context he was also referring to the Jewish religious leaders of his own day who so opposed him and his ministry and who would continue to oppose the early church as is seen all through the books of Acts for example…. Continue reading

Trump to link Tylenol and autism, advise pregnant women to use only for high fevers

“The company strongly disagreed with any suggestion linking Tylenol to autism, claiming that discouraging women from using the drug would force them to make “dangerous choices” between enduring pain that could be harmful to them and their babies, and taking riskier pain relief drugs.”

(Natalia Mittelstadt – Just the News) President Trump will reportedly on Monday announce a link between Tylenol and autism, and advise pregnant women to use the drug, or generic acetaminophen, only for high fevers, according to a news report. Continue reading

N.T. Wright Says God Will Save Billions of People Who Have Never Heard of Jesus

“The gospel is not a divine mood. It is not ambient grace. It is not an “inner light.” It is the proclamation of a crucified and risen Savior to dead sinners who must repent and believe. If people could be saved by sincerity, the apostles wasted their lives. Paul’s beatings, Peter’s martyrdom, Stephen’s stoning—pointless theater. If tribal mysticism counts, the Great Commission becomes the Great Offense. If general revelation is enough, then Christ’s blood was a needless tragedy.”

(The Dissenter) In a recent episode of the Premier Unbelievable  podcast, theologian N.T. Wright was handed a golden opportunity to make clear the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus Christ. Instead, he picked it up like a wet sponge, flung it at the wall, and watched it slide down into a puddle of postmodern confusion. Continue reading

Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Was a Hope-Filled Clarion Call

“There has also been a lot of talk about Charlie Kirk’s Christian witness and the people who have been moved to go back to church or begin praying again since his death. I’ve got a lot of anecdotes about this, too. People are going to church for the first time in 10 or 15 years. Standing room only at services.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Because of my background, both as a longtime activist and my years in conservative media, I’ve had people from all over this side of the aisle reaching out to me since Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10. In uncertain and frightening times, people tend to gravitate towards the elders of the village. Continue reading

Assassin Nation: The MSM’s Cover-Up

Clearly, the Leftmedia has downplayed or ignored the obvious left-wing radicalization of the assassin….And they’ve taken up the cause of Kimmel to deflect our attention from Charlie Kirk. It won’t work. But this willful neglect and this dumbing-down of the citizenry does matter. Why? Because, as Founder John Adams warned us long ago, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

(Douglas Andrews – The Patriot Post) The Left’s penchant for political violence is no secret. It’s well documented. And yet the mainstream media can’t seem to report on it. Continue reading

Glenn Beck Says Mormon Joseph Smith and Charlie Kirk are ‘probably the only Christian martyrs in American history’

“Mormonism and Christianity might share some superficial similarities in language and values, the theological chasms between them are vast and unbridgeable and Mormonism is a damnable heresy.” The Dissenter

(Protestia) During his show yesterday, prominent conservative radio host Glenn Beck, who is a member of the Mormon Christian cult, explained to Dream City Church pastor Josh McPherson that evangelical Charlie Kirk and the LDS prophet Joseph Smith were the only people he considered “Christian martyrs” in American history:

McPherson: “Charlie’s political theory was anchored in biblical theology, and he, like, no one I’ve ever met had the ability to connect those dots in all of life. And so, as I’ve been talking with those guys all this long, they didn’t kill Charlie because he was a big personality…. Continue reading

Would You Cut Off Contact With a Family Member Over Politics? The Difference Between Right and Left.

“…responding to a conservative’s murder by fixating on how bad and gross his ideas were would be a political loser, just making liberals seem weird and callous and obsessive and off — especially given the likelihood that the murder was itself committed as an expression of objection to those ideas.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) The new liberal website, The Argument,  conducted an interesting poll of Trump 2024 supporters, Harris 2024 supporters, and those who didn’t vote.

One question was about free speech on campus. Continue reading

Jesus and Nicodemus

I. REGENERATION

“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

“The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

“Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Continue reading

Headline News…you may have missed

(The Patriot Post’s Friday: Below the Fold) More Democrats love socialism, RFK’s panel makes measles vax recommendation, some of Biden’s missing border kids found, Trump nominees confirmed, and more.

Democrats love socialism, hate capitalism: A recent Gallup poll provided a piece of not-news for those who follow politics: Democrats support socialism and hate capitalism. Some 66% of Democrats have a positive view of socialism compared to 38% of Independents and 14% of Republicans (which might be the real headline)…. Continue reading

Candace Owens Is Under Fire for Suggesting Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Was Not a Random Act of Violence

“She was with Turning Point USA when she started out and they were friends after she left. However, they operated independently in their own spheres. Her claim that he was her “best friend” and like her “brother” is not totally accurate.”

(Mary Dowling) Conservative commentator Candace Owens is under fire after using her YouTube channel to suggest that Charlie Kirk’s killing last week in Utah was not a random act of violence. Continue reading
