For their part, Chick-Fil-A clarified that the post was indeed about Cathy, and not black people. After pushback saying that the explanation was unsatisfactory, Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon was having none of it, and declared that no apology will be forthcoming.
(PNP) The Babylon Bee has come under fire by several prominent-ish evangelicals and laypeople after posting an article that critics say is nothing more than full-blown racism disguised as unfunny satire. Continue reading
(World Magazine) Success With A Steroid – In March, a study in Wuhan, China, suggested that coronavirus patients might benefit from a potent steroid called methylprednisolone. But the study’s preliminary nature and its small number of participants limited its impact: At the time, the Eastern Virginia Medical School guidelines, which have helped guide COVID-19 treatment elsewhere, warned that “this topic is controversial” before summarizing the Wuhan findings and suggesting steroids may help.

“I talked to a wife today from Seattle, whose husbands at Seattle PD, and she, she knows that they need to get out of there. She’s afraid for her husband’s life and her kids in the neighborhood. She said that they’re getting picked on they’re getting called names,” Chabot said. “It’s not the same like it was even just two weeks ago, three weeks ago, just because they’re a law enforcement family now. Their kids are being targeted by people in the neighborhood.”
(Kerry Pickett – Washington Examiner) Law enforcement officers say they and their families face harassment and bullying by strangers and neighbors as a result of a nationwide crackdown on law enforcement following protests around the death of George Floyd. Continue reading
“Today young whites fall to their knees to repudiate their “white privilege” and beg for forgiveness that will never be forthcoming. And why not? Because, our new racial overlords lecture us, racism is not simply inherent in white America’s shameful past, it still permeates our white skin, and we can do nothing about that; it is who we are. White folks can even debase themselves by washing the feet of black men…yet the original stain of white racism can never be symbolically washed away.”
(Craig Luther – Frontpage Mag) BLACK LIVES MATTER has taken America by storm. Simply put, it is a radical Leftist outfit that seeks to replace capitalism with socialism, abolish the police (and let criminals out of jail), and looks to socialist Venezuela as a model…. Continue reading
“Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said: ‘Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for’” (vv. 6–7) – Isaiah 6:1-7
Paul’s account of the internal struggle between the flesh and spirit in Romans 7:14–25 has helped us understand that while there has been a true change wrought in us by the Holy Spirit, we will nevertheless be tempted and succumb to sin throughout our lives…. Continue reading
The Tee shirt promoted by Beth Moore on Twitter was given to her by her friend Christine Caine of heretical Hillsong Church in Australia. Caine considers Joyce Meyer her chief mentor and “spiritual mother.” Both are Word of Faith/Prosperity Gospel wolves. So with this background in mind, here’s Reformation Charlotte’s report. Watch Moore’s video. Sadly, she appears to be mentally deranged — and that’s putting it mildly.
The slogan, “Nevertheless, She Persisted,” has become synonymous with far-left ideology after it was popularized by the progressive senator, Elizabeth Warren…. Continue reading
Todd Starnes reports that Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy recently joined Progressive Christians Louie Giglio and Lecrae for a roundtable discussion on racism. To learn more about these men–and you need to–scroll down to Research. The Bible tells us that believers are to confess their sins to God (Psalm 41:4; 130:4; Acts 8:22; 1 John 1:9). Scripture also teaches that God’s people should seek forgiveness from the individual that was sinned against. So we are to go to the person, confess the sin that was committed, ask the person for forgiveness, and repent.
Now to Todd Starnes’ piece. He writes:
Chief Executive Officer Dan Cathy called on White Christians to personally repent of racism. Continue reading
“The United States is in the process of being fundamentally and radically transformed as socialism has made much progress. Our great grandparents once said “It could never happen in America.” But it did – and we’re now living with the consequences of surrendering the education of our children.”
(David Fiorazo) What did we expect? After decades of teaching kids in America to hate their country, take a good look around because we’re now seeing some rotten fruit of the education system. This generation of young adults generally has more disdain for America, but knows far less about actual U.S. history. Continue reading
“Liberal sympathetic bystanders are wondering whether downtown arson and looting will go private and reach their suburban homes. Do they really want their marquee universities or the Washington or Jefferson monuments defaced or renamed? What happens when calling 911 gets a constant busy signal?”
(Victor Davis Hanson – PJ Media) Unlike coups or political revolutions, cultural revolutions don’t just change governments or leaders. Instead, they try to redefine entire societies. Their leaders call them “holistic” and “systematic.” Continue reading
14 For this cause I bend my knees to the Father 15 from whom every family in Heaven and on Earth is named, 16 that He may grant you according to the wealth of His glory to become mightily empowered in your inner being through His Spirit 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith that you, having been rooted and grounded in love, 18 that you might have strength to grasp together with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth of His love, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:14-19 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)
I would not pass the test for post modernism in any context. I am not politically correct nor do I care whether I am or am not. If that becomes a requirement for employment or something else that we view as temporally vital in this age, I will still refuse…. Continue reading
“The sad fact is that evangelicalism, with its historic and reflexively individualistic focus on saving souls, simply doesn’t have much of anything distinctive to offer in response to the pressing social questions of the day, and to the race question in particular. And seventy or so years of evangelical preoccupation with “Christian worldview” apparently hasn’t gotten us very far either.”
(William B. Evans – The Aquila Report) Well, let’s put a fork in it . . . it’s done! Evangelicalism, that is. The social pressures of the current situation have revealed a truth many have suspected for quite a while…. Continue reading
Along with racial reconciliation messages, social justice lessons neatly incorporate “LGBTQ” propaganda and it’s almost impossible to object (you are automatically a “racist”). Never forget, Black Lives Matter fully embraces the whole sexual deviance agenda, even calling for the end of the traditional family, which they call the “western nuclear family.”
(Linda Harvey – Mission: America) The USA Today headline was intended to pull heart strings: “Internet has proven to be an LGBTQ ‘lifeline.’” But for those who have been standing against the full surrender of America to depravity, it was gag-worthy. Continue reading
“There are two yardsticks available for making moral judgments: the eternal and the ephemeral. The problem with moderns today — especially the subspecies called “leftists” — is that being moral relativists blind to Truth’s existence, they make everything relative to themselves.”
(Selwyn Duke – Renew America) As statues again come down as our culture is further torn up, something goes unsaid and often unnoticed:
Notable Western historical figures are being condemned as immoral — by the most immoral, decadent, degenerate people among us. Continue reading
“The Cultural Marxists have… stolen and repurposed formerly benign words like “gay” and biblical symbols like the rainbow,…while “Conservative” leaders have failed miserably at training our people to recognize the elements and assumptions of “sexual orientation” theory and how they are distinct from the truths of hard science and natural law,…shaping a new mainstream consensus on sexual matters that rejects the natural order in favor of their artificial reality….”
(Peter Jones – truthxchange) The Ad Interim Committee Report on Sexuality for the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America set itself two tasks: a “pastoral task” and an “apologetic task.” Continue reading
14 I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. 15 For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. 16 Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me. 1 Corinthians 4:14-16 (NASB)
The visible church is flesh driven. Evangelicalism is corrupt because of the very same thing. I visit both large and small churches…. Continue reading
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) During a Black Lives Matter anti-police protest in Clovis, NM, cops threaten to arrest open-air preachers for preaching during the protest and ask them to “leave the property” for “inciting a riot.”
While there is absolutely no law on the books against open-air preaching that states someone has to leave simply because a police officer subjectively asserts a violation of “keeping the peace.”… Continue reading
In the “Craig of the Creek” episode “The Haunted Dollhouse”, which also depicts an occultic seance, witches Courtney and Tabitha are caught kissing in the dark. The two first revealed their feelings for each other in the episode “The Curse.”
(Heather Clark – Christian News) Cartoon Network is again celebrating Pride Month this year, releasing videos with teens talking about homosexuality and transgenderism and finding the “courage” to be an activist for the cause. The network has also posted a Pride playlist on its site and app, featuring homosexual-themed episodes from “Steven Universe” and “Craig of the Creek.” Continue reading
(Capstone Report) Video of a Southeastern Baptist Theological (SEBTS) panel discussion justifying riots is new evidence of the liberal drift of the Southern Baptist Convention. And conservative pastors are saying they will withhold funding over these new teachings coming from Southern Baptist seminaries.
Pastor Tom Buck posted this shocking quote from the discussion: “I don’t want to demonize and villainize them as if they’re just doing this for nothing.” The comment was from William “Duce” Branch. Continue reading
“Others though, were extremely critical of the event, accusing Bethel of having self-serving motives and being disrespectful by co-opting the memorial and making it about Bethel, zoning in on comments made by Feutch that he wants to “change the narrative” of the memorial.”
(Dustin Germain – PNP) Bethel Church has come under fire for being “opportunisric white colonizers” after Bethel Music musicians visited the George Floyd Memorial in Minneapolis and put on an impromptu worship concert, complete with all the charismatic shenanigans that accompany such an event. Continue reading
1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. Ephesians 2:1-3 (NASB)
The fallen nature of man does not understand death. Depending on culture, some fight to stay alive with their all. The correct understanding of death comes to us from God’s Word…. Continue reading
“Codifying into anti-discrimination law the concept that a man who says he is a woman must be treated according to his mental illness is not something we can live with as a society. Gorsuch might want to dismiss the earth-shattering ramifications of his opinion, but he knows well that there are already pending lawsuits to demand that men be treated as women, in very dangerous or disruptive ways that go well beyond trying to use the boot of government to stamp out mean or discriminatory behavior.”
(Daniel Horowitz – Conservative Review) When Anthony Kennedy discovered a right to force states to redefine marriage in the 2015 Obergefell case, he promised that religious liberty would remain untouched…. Continue reading
“Mask-wearing is not benign, either. (1) Masked faces feel hostile because you can see no relaxation or smile in the person you’re facing. (2) People feel disconnected, and a national survey shows that depression and suicidal thoughts are way up. (3) Public misbehavior is amplified when actors are anonymous — riots, anyone?”
(John G. Maguire – American Thinker) When he announced on May 1 that masks would be worn in public places, Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker was emphatic.
“Reilly cites two databases of police shootings, one kept by the Washington Post, and one at KilledByPolice.net. He noted that the WaPo database listed a total of nine unarmed black men killed by police in all of 2019. The total number of all people of all races killed by police was 56. He then cited a 2016 Harvard study that concluded that African-Americans were 24.2% less likely to be shot by police than whites were.”
(Jeff Reynolds – PJ Media) On this week’s episode of Life, Liberty, and Levin, Dr. Wilfred Reilly pushed back on the concept of systemic racism. Reilly told Mark Levin that many of the examples cited by activists have huge variables other than race to explain why they happen…. Continue reading
“All this isn’t to say we shouldn’t try to better our conditions on this side of heaven. But this world is never meant to be anything approaching paradise. Courting that goal brings disaster. The millions killed at the hands of Marxist totalitarian dictatorships are all the evidence one should need.”
(Joshua Lawson – The Federalist) It’s unclear how many Christians are going along with the current neo-Marxist collective guilt movement out of fear, a misunderstanding of what they’ve signed onto, or an authentic conversion to the cause…. Continue reading
34 Do not think that I cam to bring peace on the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword. Matthew 10:34 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)
The peace that Christians have because they are in Christ is between them and God and because of that, with each other. However, that does not mean that there will be peace between them and those not in Christ. In fact, these words of our Lord in Matthew 10:34-38 make it clear that those truly in Christ will be so changed by the Gospel, the presence of the Holy Spirit in them, and their new nature that there will be inevitable separation between them and those who are not in Christ. This holds true even within families…. Continue reading
