“Resolution 9 was an endorsement of something called ‘Critical Race Theory’*** [which] basically says America is inherently racist, white people are irrevocably, inherently racist.”
(Steve Jordahl – OneNewsNow) Southern Baptists will be meeting in Orlando this summer for their annual meeting. The weekend before the gathering, some SBC leaders concerned with the direction of the denomination will be holding a rally of their own. Continue reading
Role models? It’s always amazing that the LGBT activists continue to claim that the Drag Queens in libraries are “role models for children.” Virtually every one of them has a trail of horrible depravity and/or criminality connected to him. And we’re lectured that we must accept all this under the guise of “tolerance and love.”
(MassResistance) The event was all ready to go – then suddenly it got cancelled! It’s a great lesson in hard-hitting pro-family activism.
In Morgantown back in November, our West Virginia MassResistance chapter helped a relatively small number of pro-family activists stop a particularly horrible “Drag Queen Story Hour” (DQSH) from happening…. Continue reading
“God returned the evil of Abimelech, which he committed against his father in killing his seventy brothers. And God also made all the evil of the men of Shechem return on their heads, and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal” (vv. 56–57). – Judges 9:22–57
Enemies are easy to identify when they attack from the outside. Much harder to discern are those enemies who dwell in our midst and who seem to be one of us. This is true in the church, and it was true in ancient Israel as well. As Dr. R.C. Sproul frequently noted, the greatest threat to Israel was not Babylon, Assyria, or any of the other nations outside the promised land. Instead, the greatest threat was the false prophet, the Israelite who gave false messages that were purported to be from the Lord. Continue reading
“The arguments of these posts serve to fill out this affirmation and denial, both of which clearly stand in contradiction to the fundamental, systematic theology which undergirds the Revoice Conference. One cannot sign onto the Nashville Statement while continuing to endorse Revoice, because Revoice does not define self-conception as male and female by way of God’s “purposes in creation and redemption as revealed in Scripture,” but does adopt a SSA self-conception for its conference and theology that conflicts with creation order, redemption, and a biblical approach to sanctification.”
This article is part 5 of a 5-part series entitled Revisiting Revoice
(Chris Bolt – Founders Ministries) The end of Revoice theology is the belief that what is wrong with same-sex attraction is not that it is sinful, but that others are sinfully opposed to it. If Adam experienced the desire to sin prior to the Fall, and Christ experienced the desire to sin after it, we must not expect anyone else to be capable of mortifying the desire to sin, whether in this life or the life to come….

We can be thankful in trying circumstances because we know that our God doesn’t make mistakes. There is nothing that falls outside of his sovereign eternal decree. As the hymn writer put it, “What e’re my God ordains is right.”
(Nick Batzig – Beautiful Christian Life) Often, the most basic of God’s commands are the hardest for us to obey. We may ask ourselves whether or not we would have the faith to offer up a child to God—as Abraham did when he was called to offer up Isaac—while never really stopping to ask ourselves whether or not we have the faith to obey the most basic new covenant commands. Continue reading
“We’ve been going through this now for over three years. It was evil. It was corrupt. It was dirty cops. It was leakers and liars. And this should never, ever happen to another President ever.”
Trump is no ordinary president – but he’s also been under extraordinary pressures unique to his presidency. It was Trump’s appearance on the political scene that catapulted the Democrats into a stance of permanent and aggressive hysteria. They traveled from using the state to spy on him to lying about his being a Russian asset to impeaching him for investigating the prior administration’s corruption, but he held strong. Continue reading
Wuhan’s lockdown has already caused a shortage of testing kits, hospital beds, and vital medical supplies. Residents have been forced to walk the streets to reach hospitals, but many have been turned away without so much as a test for the virus ravaging the isolated city.
(Nate Church – Breitbart) The Chinese government announced a new policy in Wuhan Friday to isolate individuals testing positive for the novel coronavirus ravaging the city in what the New York Times is calling “quarantine camps.” Continue reading
21 Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. 22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:21-23 (NASB)
Holiness is one of those subjects that everyone seems to know everything it pertains to, but no one knows how to define. What is it? If you look up “Holiness” in a dictionary, it will tell you that it means to be “Holy.”… Continue reading
Julie Roys reminds us that “Last November, the elders at Harvest Bible Chapel formally disqualified MacDonald from public ministry, saying his behavior did not meet the standards for leadership outlined in Scripture.” MacDonald hasn’t taken the Harvest Bible Church elder’s rebuke seriously, as we now learn that, even though they disqualified him from ministry, “James MacDonald Ministries… announced on the website a planned tour of the Holy Land in November 2020. There’s also a form on the site for pastors who want to be trained in ‘better biblical preaching.’ And there’s a form to fill out to invite MacDonald to speak at your church or ministry event.”
Apparently the prideful pastor has chosen to ignore wise biblical counsel and has decided to do things “my way.”
Here’s Julie Roys’ report: Continue reading
“She throws something in there about Rush being a racist, of course, because everyone to the right of Lenin is a racist, like, totally.”
(Adam Ford – Disrn) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was at it again today, freshening up her makeup and placing her glasses atop her head before whipping out her phone, firing up her Instagram Live, and saying something completely inane and incorrect.
This time she hit Trump and recently stage-4-cancer-diagnosed Rush Limbaugh over last night’s Medal of Freedom presentation: Continue reading
The Swiss Broadcasting Corporation reports that some members of the public have lashed out at Läderach over its stance on life and marriage, as homosexual and abortion “rights” advocates have accused it of “funding hatred.”
(Heather Clark – Christian News) Swiss International Air Lines recently decided to discontinue working with the prestigious chocolatier Läderach reportedly due to “negative press” and subsequent feedback about the company’s opposition to homosexuality and abortion. Continue reading
“Many of our civic institutions have been taken over by an ideology which is fundamentally anti-democratic, anti-factual and intolerant – in the name of tolerance. The State, having replaced God, has become the source of all morality and values. If you don’t agree with those values you are not one of ‘the people’. You are untermenschen. You are out.”
(David Robertson – EvangelicalFocus) This week, something of great significance has happened in the UK. Something that has implications far beyond its shores and that will affect the Church and Western democracy for years to come. Continue reading
2 Consider it all joy my brothers whenever you fall into various trials 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its full effect that you may be mature and complete lacking in nothing. James 1:2-4 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)
The man-centered religions that claim to be “Christian” in our time could never take James 1:2-4 literally. No, instead, they must demand from their own man-made Jesus that they have their best life now and that the Sun stand still so that they can fulfill the vision that they claim to have received from him…. Continue reading
“Follow the logic here. God wants to raise up His chiefs, or apostolic leaders, in many spheres of influence as a sign that there is an end times revival. Apparently, He cannot just do this because He is God. Instead He must tie it to the outcome of a carnal football game played by carnal, unsaved men. If the 49ers won, He would have to sit on His plan until another year when the Chiefs might get a shot at winning the Super Bowl.”
(Anthony Wade – 828 Ministries) The last time a false prophet ventured into the unknown waters of the Super Bowl it was David Taylor. At least he had the guts to take a 50-50 shot that Peyton Manning and the Broncos would defeat the Seattle Seahawks…. Continue reading
Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler systematically destroyed the Democrat party are to blame for their own demise.
“The most egregiously infuriating aspect of the night was the persistent despicable behavior of the Democrats who were in the room. They acted like small children, infantilized by their hatred of this president and their belief that Americans must be taken care of according to their specifications. They demeaned themselves with their pathetic behavior at an event like this SOTU speech by refusing to acknowledge any of this president’s victories. A few of the usual suspects walked out during the speech, a feeble attempt to demonstrate their contempt.”
“As we shall see in this video, Mohler’s position today is similar to that of the gay agenda, which seeks to normalize homosexuality.” Williams also points out that in spite of a 2005 position held by Mohler declaring that the modern concept of sexual orientation opens the door for the homosexual lobby to reinterpret the meaning of Scripture, a decade later Mohler has changed his mind; we see a compromised man who radically changed his position.
(Pulpit & Pen) Some believe that Southern Baptist Seminary President and likely upcoming SBC President, Albert Mohler, is a hero of the Conservative Resurgence. In fact, Mohler is no hero for conservative causes. Continue reading
Pelosi started off the SOTU by breaking tradition in refusing to announce President Trump properly. “Protocol, as decades of past SOTU addresses show, is for the House Speaker to announce the president by noting that it is their ‘high privilege and distinct honor’ to do so.”
(James Barrett – Daily Wire) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) dominated the headlines following President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday after she, standing directly behind the president, ripped up his speech for all the world to see, later telling the press that she did so because it was a “dirty speech” and that shredding it was better than the “alternative.”… Continue reading
14 These I write to you hoping to come to you quickly; 15 but if I delay, that you may know how one ought to conduct oneself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth. 1 Timothy 3:14-15 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)
When Paul wrote his first epistle to Timothy which we call “1 Timothy,” Timothy was the pastor of the Ephesian church. Ephesus was home to the pagan temple to the goddess Diana or Artemis, which is considered on of the seven wonders of the ancient world. One of its features was its pillars. It contained 127 pillars, every one of them the gift of a king…. Continue reading
“After the debacle in Iowa, WHERE NOT A SINGLE VOTE HAS BEEN REPORTED, it’s abundantly clear that Democrats are the single greatest threat to election security and integrity in this country. Not Trump, not Russia, not Ukraine. Democrats.”
(Paul Bois – Daily Wire) The Democratic Party Iowa caucuses on Monday night unfolded like an AFC playoff game in which the NFC team somehow came out the winner. As the hours ticked well past midnight with no precincts reporting the results, allegedly due to a faulty app, President Trump and the Republican Party were handed victory on a silver platter as the nation watched Democrats implode under the weight of gross incompetence. Continue reading
“Something about the way he said “We’ve got the evangelicals” struck me as significant. I did some research and what I found troubled me. Obama’s White House had ‘reached out’ years before to select, self-described evangelical leaders and organizations which came to be known as The Evangelical Immigration Table.”
(Jim Jenkins – Herescope) We have short memories. Those who make a living creating narratives bank on this fact. In following the current politically-charged impeachment drama, I have been struck by the fact that the co-opting of language and the bastardization of the meanings of words has the effect of bringing about harmful cognitive dissonance in those whose sensitivities are assaulted by the barrage. Continue reading
“Sometimes fleeing temptation means removing myself physically from a situation where the temptation to sin is great. With regard to some movies, for example, fleeing temptation may well mean leaving the room (or better yet, checking out the movie’s content before exposing yourself to the temptation). Sometimes fleeing temptation means removing myself electronically from compromising situations. I flee temptation when I install software to prevent viewing pornography on my computer.”
(Robert Spinney – Reformation 21) Satan tempts us to not fear sin, so that we will not keep a safe distance from it. Continue reading
21 Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. Romans 6:21 (NASB)
As many of you know I am a Southern Baptist. However, things sure have changed over the last few years. I have said in other posts how becoming Reformed in my theology helped me tremendously to both to become more mature as a Christian and also to become more discerning. I have also shared how it seemed that those of us who seemed to be able to withstand the seeker sensitive and emergent onslaught the best were Reformed…. Continue reading
“So, I have to tell you something today that I wish I didn’t have to tell you. It’s a struggle for me because I had to inform my staff earlier today,” he said. “I can’t help but feel that I’m letting everybody down. The upshot is that I have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.”
(Brian Floyd – Fox News) Talk radio king Rush Limbaugh stunned his 27-million member audience Monday with the announcement he’s been diagnosed with “advanced lung cancer.” The 69-year-old conservative talk pioneer closed his broadcast with the grim news, saying he will be leaving his golden EIB microphone for treatment, but hopes to return soon. Continue reading
As you face struggles in your life today, whether they be great or small, know that God has a purpose and plan behind each of them. We are never at the hand of fate or chance. The Christian has a loving heavenly father who is testing, correcting, and building our faith by the situations of our lives.
(Kyle E. Sims – Gentle Reformation) Struggles are a significant part of the Christian life. If our view of God and life is too simple, then it can lead to frustration and fear. We are left to wonder, “If God is in control, then why am I facing this struggle? If God’s eternal plan is working, then why did he plan for me to deal with these issues in my life?” These are fair questions, but ones for which we must come to a correct answer…. Continue reading
“After posting the last two videos of what’s currently going on at Bethel, I received a lot of comments on Instagram and Facebook from Charismatic/Pentecostal brothers and sisters in Christ who expressed that “EVEN THEY” can see that what Bethel is doing is not of God & is completely unbiblical. That truly speaks volumes to me and I hope that speaks volumes to those at Bethel too.”
(Churchwatch Central) Over the last few days there’s been some bizarre videos doing the rounds on social media in regards to an event in Bethel Redding – an event where we see NARpostle Randy Clark clearly ‘imparting’ something incredibly dark and demonic. The event was part of Randy Clark’s Global Awakening (‘Voice of the Prophets, Come Dream Again’) movement – and of course we should never be surprised to see Bethel Church, Redding and Bill Johnson partnering with such unbiblical events.
