“Full-stop. What is there to solve? Again, what is he talking about? Homosexuality requires solving? The heck it does. It requires repentance.”
(Pulpit & Pen) Aligning yourself with The Gospel Coalition has proven time and again to be the death-rattle of orthodox evangelicals. Not long after cozying up to the dark-money leftist organization that masquerades as a ministry, most TGC acolytes eventually cave on important social issues.
And sadly, this is true with Tim Challies. Continue reading
This shift also contributed to the growth of the atheist/agnostic/none segment, which has nearly doubled in size during this same amount of time (2003: 11 percent vs. 2018: 21 percent).”
(Christian Headlines) The Barna Group, a research agency focusing on Christianity, has found that just one in four Americans can be considered “practicing Christians,” a significantly smaller percentage (25 percent) of the U.S. population than in 2000 when “45 percent of all those sampled qualified as practicing Christians.” Continue reading

Jim Bakker spends his time on television bilking people for money by selling fraudulent food and medical supplies. Just last week, Bakker was ordered to cease and desist making claims that his “Silver Solution” cures the coronavirus. Decades later, Bakker is still a fraud — and Robert Jeffress uses him to promote himself.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Robert Jeffress used to be a respectable man. He used to be a well-known conservative pastor who acted like he believed the gospel and believed in conservative biblical morals and values…. Continue reading
22 Samuel said,
“Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices.
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams. 1 Samuel 15:22 (NASB)
When my son was about 5 years old we had a Revival team visit our church in Tulsa for about three weeks. Each evening the adults would go to the auditorium while all of the children were in the gym or class rooms…. Continue reading
“Think on this, that news outlets would be so interested in influencing the outcome of a US election that they would carelessly or selfishly promote hysteria and outrage and even go so far as to unilaterally call an outbreak a pandemic, sparking global panic, is unconscionable.”
(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) Yesterday CNN, (Cable News Network) decided to unilaterally call the covid-19 flu outbreak a pandemic. I wasn’t aware that CNN reporters had global medical expertise enough to decide for the world whether the coronavirus had reached a criterion-laden level of that sort. CNN has had hidden talents all this time. Continue reading
“The Democrats and the Deep State have spent the last four years constructing the greatest wag-the-dog spectacle America’s ever seen in an attempt to cover up the malfeasance and criminality of the last administration, while preventing the current one from achieving too many victories. Considering that Brennan and Comey are still free and Obama and Hillary are still smiling, they’ve been remarkably successful.”
(J.B. Shurk – American Thinker) Beware the wounded animal. In pain and desperation, it will do violent things. It seems to me no coincidence that Joe Biden’s big win on Super Tuesday was followed by Democratic senator Chuck Schumer threatening conservative members of the Supreme Court on Wednesday. Continue reading
“It’s this type of suppression of facts that highlights Dr. Brown’s deliberate attempt to hide his deep connection and roots to the NAR. Is this why Messianic Jews are angry with ‘One For Israel’ being tainted by Dr. Michael Brown, Dan Juster and Asher Intrater? And this all appears to have escalated due to his involvement in the latest Todd Bentley scandal.”
(Churchwatch Central) It appears Dr. Michael Brown is now no longer in control of information regarding his involvement in the New Apostolic Reformation. This information appears to be coming through on three fronts: Continue reading
“The prosperity gospel is arguably the second-most nefarious and subversive false gospel plaguing the American Church today, right behind the social justice gospel. The prosperity gospel teaches that God is, in a sense, a genie in a bottle and by having enough faith, you can get what you want from him — material gain.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Elevation Church is one of the most subversive and dangerous pseudo-Christian movements in the world…. Continue reading
11 This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him. 13 Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, for they are your glory.
14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:11-19 (NASB) Read 1 John 2:28-29
We will focus on in 1 John 2:28-29 through 1 John 3:1-3. This section of 1 John follows a section of chapter 2, v24-27, that is focused on a call for Christians to let truth abide in them in order to discern what is truth and what is false and deceiving in this world…. Continue reading
“Newly released documents obtained by Fox News reveal that then-FBI Director James Comey’s draft statement on the Hillary Clinton email probe was edited numerous times before his public announcement, in ways that seemed to water down the bureau’s findings considerably.”
(Jim Kouri – News With Views) Two of the nation’s leading criminal justice scholars believe that the once heralded federal law enforcement agency — the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) — appears to have lost its lustrous image and its upper-echelon officials have contributed to the agency’s extreme politicalization. Continue reading
Remember the old interpretative method that asked each reader what the passage of Scripture means to them personally? We all know how dangerous this method of interpretation is—right?
(Josh Buice – Delivered By Grace) Every so often, during political debates, you will hear people talk about the importance of a proper reading of The Constitution of the United States. The argument is that if you allow people to revise the meaning of the original Framers of the Constitution through a modern revisionist approach, the nation will be led to embrace whatever the cultural winds of the day desires.

“Rather than standing in opposition to the critical theory/intersectional notion of privilege, Butterfield explicitly identifies herself as a recipient of white privilege and economic privilege, and one who uses that privilege to “further the kingdom” by seeking out the “underprivileged.” Who are those underprivileged? Not only the poor and racial minority, but the sexual minorities as well. While not using the language of “sexual minorities,” Butterfield nevertheless identifies her heterosexual progressive Christian friends as those who recognize their own heterosexual privilege and seek to extend them to their LGBTQ friends.”
By Hiran Diaz
On March 4th, Ligionier Ministries’ Table Talk Magazine published an article by Rosaria Butterfield titled “Intersectionality and the Church.”[1] Given that the subjects of Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality, and resolution 9 of the Southern Baptist Convention are hot button issues, the article’s publication is well timed. Not only that, but given lingering questions about Butterfield’s own orthodoxy,[2] the article serves to draw attention to Butterfield’s rejection of intersectionality as an analytical tool compatible with the Christian faith. This has the effect of vindicating Butterfield as “one of us,” a fellow social justice contra and ally in the war against the ethical postmodernization of the church. Continue reading
“We had a mutual pact. It said: Either one of us ended up committing suicide, then the other is going to make sure that the truth wins out.”
(LifeZette)Two Republican lawmakers have spoken out to sound the alarm about the death of Philip Haney, a former whistleblower of Barack Obama’s Department of Homeland Security who they say was murdered.
Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Steve King (R-IA) each gave speeches on the House floor to refute claims that Haney committed suicide. Continue reading
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them; 8 for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light 9 (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), 10 trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; 12 for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. Ephesians 5:6-12 (NASB)
In the passage above is the the word “fruit.” It is a translation of the Greek word καρπὸς (karpos). This word appears some sixty-six times in the New Testament. In most cases, it is used in reference to the the fruit of plants as in Matthew 21:19 or the produce of the earth (James 5:7, 18)…. Continue reading
1 Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 2 Peter 1:1-11 (NASB) Read verses 4-11 on the site.
After God dragged me from my former Arminian doctrinal beliefs into the truth of Reformed Theology, my assurance of my salvation did not suffer at all. In fact, it deepened as the profundity of our salvation by grace and justification by faith became apparent to me…. Continue reading
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” — Sen. Chuck Schumer
(Joel B. Pollack – Breitbart) Landmark Legal Foundation, the conservative public interest law firm chaired by radio host and author Mark Levin, filed an ethics complaint Friday against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for his recent threatening statement against Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

“If this feels overwhelming and scary, well, it is. You’re being bombarded with progressive pastors and leftist think-tanks (the ERLC) that are daily working to subvert commonly held Christian ethos in order to invent a type of Christianity that is more palatable and culturally relevant. They’re using the subversion of the English language to do it.”
By Ian Franklin
No one ever believes they’re on the wrong side of a war – that they’re the devil’s minions. That’s kind of how the whole deception works. You’re always the hero of the war you wage. Continue reading
12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12
The exhortation to “abide” has been frequently misunderstood, as though it were a special, mystical, and indefinable experience. But Jesus makes clear that it actually involves a number of concrete realities.
First, union with our Lord depends on His grace. Of course we are actively and personally united to Christ by faith (John 14:12)…. Continue reading

In addition to the theme of using sorcery to meet a deceased father, a number of outlets have noted that “Onward” features a character who subtly reveals her homosexuality.”
(Heather Clark – Christian News) The new Disney-Pixar animated film “Onward,” which has main themes centering on wizardry and a magic “visitation spell” to temporarily conjure a father up from the dead, also features a line where a cyclops police officer — voiced by a homosexual screenwriter — subtly reveals to viewers that she is a lesbian.

“Your show is hereby advised to immediately cease and desist from making misleading claims regarding the Silver Solution’s effectiveness as they violate New York’s consumer protection statutes, Executive Law § 63(12) and General Business Law Article 22-A §§ 349 and 350, which prohibit fraudulent and deceptive business practices and false advertising.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Jim Bakker is a fraud who has spent his entire life defrauding people in the name of Christ. It’s no wonder groups like Right Wing Watch continue to look poorly upon Christianity as these charismatic frauds continue to lie, cheat, and steal from people in order to make a buck….

[T]hat’s not at all what the Senator’s comments were referencing. There was no mention of Senate Republicans losing elections, or of a grass-roots movement. The targeted “you” was directed solely at Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh. The defense was so poor that even notorious leftists rolled their eyes.
(Peter Heck – Disrn) In July of last year, Senator Chuck Schumer was beside himself. Pacing the halls of the Capitol,… Continue reading
12 So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:12-14 (NA
If you are anything like me, looking closely at your walk before the Lord, the concept that sinful believers who vacillate between godliness and carnality with deliverance from those sins not in any way certain, then the concept that we are heirs with Christ is hard to grasp…. Continue reading
To put this into perspective, there are essentially three levels of the “gay Christianity” movement.
Watch the video.
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Baylor, a private Christian university located in Waco, Texas, is known as the largest Baptist university in the world with approximately 17,200 students on its 1,000-acre campus and is affiliated with the Texas Baptist Convention, which is subsequently connected to the Southern Baptist Convention.

Biblical counselors have erred by assuming that one story is the only story. To keep our errors to a minimum, we work to listen more and say less. Good advice certainly—but there is more we can say.
(Ed Welch) Listen to Scripture, listen to people. This is how we grow in our care and counsel. And grow we must if we want to help someone who has stories beneath stories. Most addicts do.
Flea is the bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He is a sensitive soul whose father left when he was six…. Continue reading
Cruz pointed out another left-leaning response, this time from MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, who admitted after initially downplaying Schumer’s comments that they were completely “out of line.”
(James Barrett – Daily Wire) Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) threat directed at Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh at an abortion activist rally Wednesday sparked a firestorm, with public figures from all ends of the political spectrum weighing in, including left-leaning lawyers, leftist media personalities, and liberal entities….
