AG Ken Paxton reveals exactly how Dems stole 2020 election, and it’s so much simpler than you realize…

Watch Tucker’s interview.

“It wasn’t some elaborate “Ocean’s 11” scheme; it was rather straightforward. In fact, if we rewind to the 2018 midterms and recall how the Dems initially introduced “ballot harvesting” and managed to “win” in all those red districts, also in the wee hours of the night, ultimately taking control of the House, one can’t help but wonder if that was a “dry run” for 2020.”

(Revolver) Who can forget Election Night 2020? Some of you went to sleep, thinking Trump was the sure winner, and woke up to discover Joe Biden was the bumbler in chief. So, how did it happen? There are many theories, from hacking election machines to China being in control, but most people are overthinking it, and that’s perfectly okay with Dems; Continue reading

What’s the State of Global Religious Freedom in 2024?

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Every day on the calendar has those “special days” — commemorations or observations of one thing or another. Most of them are silly, like International Sweatpants Day (Jan. 21) and National Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day (Jan. 22), but some have actual significance.

Last week, one of those days probably passed most of us by. Every Jan. 16 has been National Religious Freedom Day since 1993, but that probably didn’t cross the minds of many Americans…. Continue reading

The Biden-Obama Plan to Destroy Israel

“Hamas has made it clear they want a one-state solution, and will not rest until every Jew and Israel are gone. Whenever a terrorist kills Israelis, their family gets paid for life by the Palestinian Authority.”

(Mary Dowling) Joe Biden and Barack Obama, Biden’s close advisor, are pushing the two-state solution. They want to pander to the Islamist voting base. As Hamas/Palestinians make it clear that they exist to destroy Israel and Jews, the administration, mostly staffed by Obama-era advisors, wants to give them the West Bank in addition to Gaza. Continue reading

For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it

14 You are My friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would abide, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. 17 This I command you, that you love one another. 18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. John 15:14-19 (LSB) 

A deep study of the book of Acts reveals many interesting things about the spread of Christianity as the Apostles obediently made disciples wherever they went. This spread was always accompanied by persecution…. Continue reading

2024—America’s Year of Living Dangerously

All our enemies are right now calculating how best to use their gift of the next 12 months from a non-compos-mentis president and his neo-socialist team that either believes the U.S. is at fault for much of the world’s pathologies or is too terrified to do anything about them.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Lame-duck presidencies, especially in the last six months of their final term, in general can offer opportunities for America’s enemies to take advantage of a perceived vacuum as one government transitions to the next.

But these normal changeover months are especially dangerous when a perceived weak or appeasing lame-duck president is likely to be replaced by a strong deterrent successor that will likely serve as a corrective to his disastrous policies. Continue reading

Discernment and Christian Maturity

12 Not that I have already received or have been completed, I press on that, if possible, to apprehend it because Christ Jesus has apprehended me. (Philippians 3:12 translated from the NA28 Greek text)

12 Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus Philippians 3:12 (LSB) 

Biblical scholars consider Philippians 3:12 to be a very challenging verse. Here is a word-for-word translation, “Not that already I received or already I have been completed, I pursue but if also I might apprehend on which also I was apprehended by Christ Jesus.” What is Paul talking about? Continue reading

Have Peace In the Midst of Tribulation and Take Heart

25 “These things I have spoken to you in figures of speech; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you openly of the Father. 26 On that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; 27 for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father. 28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father.” 29 His disciples *said, “Behold, now You are speaking openly and are not using a figure of speech. 30 Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God.” 31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” John 16:25-33 (LSB) 

I love talking with dedicated believers who are relatively new in their faith as we discuss the pressures that they are dealing with in this life that, in many cases, their plastic, “seeker-sensitive” or “emergent” form of religiosity has in no way prepared them for. Yes we are all in process and no, none of us have become so mature that we never struggle with the fires of tribulation that the world can bring to bear upon us at times…. Continue reading

‘Transing’ Yourself Is OK if You’re 18 or Older?

“Transgender ideology is a facet of political ideology disguised as a civil rights movement for a mental health struggle. In fact, President Joe Biden is treating transgenderism as a civil rights issue. That political ideology is a toxic mixture of radical freedom for all and cultural Marxism. That radical freedom is a way of justifying moral relativism — doing whatever you want because it seems right in your own eyes.” 

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) The transgender battle in the culture wars is a multifaceted debate: Is the ideology correct? Is it medically safe? When can it be implemented for people suffering from this gender confusion? Should this affect sports? Should this be taught to kids? Is it Marxism? Is it a social contagion? What is the best way to treat those who are suffering from it? Continue reading

The Doctrine of Original Sin and the Wrath of God

1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we beheld and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life— 2 and the life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— 3 what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you may also have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things we are writing, so that our joy may be made complete. 5 And this is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:1-5 (LSB) 

Those who have a problem with the Doctrine of Original Sin and the Wrath of God against all sin attempt to paint the God of Reformation Theology as some sort of ogre full of anger with very little love manifest except in the case of a chosen few. In their examples of how God operates in saving people, sin is never the issue. They portray God as loving everyone to the maximum even if their sin amounted to open rebellion against Him on their part…. Continue reading

The Supreme Court could put an end to urban squalor by June

“The consequences of inaction are dire,” they say, citing: “crime, fires, the re-emergence of medieval diseases, environmental harm, and record levels of drug overdoses and deaths on public streets.”

(Betsy McCaughey) Tired of stepping over needles and human waste and navigating around half-conscious addicts and homeless encampments?

You’re not alone. Most decent, hardworking people want clean sidewalks for getting to work and walking their kids to school.

But cities are barred legally from cleaning up homeless encampments. Continue reading

EXPOSED: Biden’s Monstrous ‘Anti-Terror’ Plan to Censor Christians, Conservatives Before 2024 Election

“Phase two of the program uses seminars produced by the University of Rhode Island’s Media Education Lab that “train educators across the country on how to divert students away from conservative ideas and media sources skeptical of the administration’s agenda.” American taxpayers gave an initial $700,000 to fund the project used to destroy your freedom of conscience.”] 

[Victoria Taft – PJ Media) When they’re not siccing the FBI on Catholic Churches or dragging upset fathers from school board meetings, there’s a new and equally monstrous plan to shut up conservatives terrorists  before the 2024 election. It is sponsored by your friendly Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Careful guys, don’t trip on your jackboots. Continue reading

Alistair Begg Caves to LGBTQ Movement, Suggests Christians Attend LGBTQ Wedding Ceremonies

Posting this piece brings me no joy. Alistair Begg is one of my favorite preachers. As a reporter, my job is to accurately report news that some CRN subscribers may find disturbing, at times heartbreaking.  With this in mind, here’s an excerpt followed by the article. There’s a video posted on the site:

“The Bible doesn’t say that we can participate in evil so long as the people we are participating in it with understand that we believe in Jesus. The Bible says the exact opposite—it says to Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness (Eph 5:11). What is a more unfruitful work of darkness than celebrating something that God [expressly forbids]. Was God there celebrating? No. What is God’s disposition toward such wickedness? That should be our disposition.” 

(The Dissenter) In 2014, Russell Moore, then president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) advised Southern Baptists to attend a “gay wedding” reception as a gesture of affection towards a homosexual friend or relative. Moore was criticized for this stance, and rightly so, yet this stance was quickly adopted by the progressive stream of Southern Baptists and Evangelicals and has become the norm within movements such as Revoice. Continue reading

The Hysterical Style in American Politics

[When] the progressive movement cannot enact its unpopular agendas…it must scare the people silly and gin up chaos to destroy its perceived enemies—any crisis it can.

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) The post-Joe McCarthy era and the candidacy of Barry Goldwater once prompted liberal political scientist Richard Hofstadter to chronicle a supposedly long-standing right-wing “paranoid style” of conspiracy-fed extremism.

But far more common, especially in the 21st century, has been a left-wing, hysterical style of inventing scandals and manipulating perceived tensions for political advantage. Continue reading

Christians’ true status in this lost and dying world

17 AND HE CAME AND PREACHED THE GOOD NEWS OF PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; 18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, 21 in whom the whole building, being joined together, is growing into a holy sanctuary in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit. Ephesians 2:17-22 (LSB)  Read 1 Peter 2:11-12 on the site.

When a Christian is born of God into His Kingdom he or she also undergoes a change in status not only there, but in the kingdom of darkness, the world, from which they came. Carefully read the two passages I placed at the top of this post from the Apostles Paul and Peter…. Continue reading

We’d Like the 2020 Election Back: DOJ Admits It Lied About Hunter Biden’s Laptop

“Joe Biden loyalist, Tony Blinken, who is now the disastrous Secretary of State, and former Acting CIA Chief Mike Morrell used this false information by the FBI to write an open letter alleging that the Hunter Biden laptop had all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign. Fifty-one intelligence community members signed their names to the letter. They lied to give Joe Biden a talking point in a debate with Donald Trump.” 

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Four years after the FBI and DOJ got a copy of the Hunter Biden laptop, filled with evidence of impeachable offenses and Biden family international self-dealing, the “Justice” Department only now admits that it’s real. The DOJ has had the laptop’s contents since December 2019, just over four years ago, when this evidence was delivered to the FBI. The revelation came in a “Justice” Department filing on Tuesday. Continue reading

The Roman Pope Embraces a Heretical Universalist View of Hell and Eternity

(The Dissenter) The Roman Catholic pope recently made remarks that demonstrate that the Catholic Church is as committed to sound doctrine as a mirage is to offering water in the desert. As reported by “Libero Quotidiano,” his words represent a profound deviation from Christian orthodoxy—even that of the Roman Catholic Church. His personal belief in an ’empty hell’ nudges perilously close to the edges of universalism. This notion, while masked in the garb of compassion, raises serious theological red flags. Continue reading

Biblical Holiness

21 Therefore what benefit were you then having from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit, leading to sanctification, and the end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:21-23 (LSB) 

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.” That is not a lot of help, is it? What does the word “Holy” mean? One dictionary definition is, “exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness.” Of course, that could only be speaking of God. Continue reading

Expert Reveals Disturbing Long-Term Impacts of Puberty Blockers

…England’s NHS stopped “routinely” prescribing the drugs after a “damning review” found that the drugs could “interrupt the process of the brain maturing.” 

(Madeline Leesman – Townhall) In the United States, over 20 states have passed laws banning experimental, irreversible so-called “gender-affirming” care for minors. Many of these states have also passed laws protecting women’s sports from so-called “transgender” athletes. The latest state to do this is Louisiana, and Ohio’s governor passed a similar Executive Order banning gender transition surgeries for children. Continue reading

W.H.O. Picks Trans Activists to Set Global Child-Rearing Rules — Less than Half of Panel Has Medical Background

“The WHO panel is made up mostly of social justice and human rights lawyers who believe the gender affirmative approach is the only option…”

(Alana Mastrangelo – Breitbart) The United Nations healthcare agency — the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) — has given transgender activists a majority of the seats in a panel that is drafting healthcare policies for children.

One of the supposed experts displays a “Be Gay, Do Crimes” tattoo.

Eleven members of the W.H.O.’s 21-member panel have no formal medical training, seven are transgender, and just ten have a medical background, according to a report by Daily Mail. Continue reading

Global Warming? Arctic Ice at Highest Level for 21 Years

“It’s not encouraging that some entities (including our federal government) aim to engage in geoengineering to manipulate weather and supposedly save the planet from warming.” 

(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) One of climate alarmists’ favorite predictions is that the Arctic is losing its ice due to global warming, something elites have claimed for decades. New data shows, however, that Arctic ice is actually increasing!  Continue reading

What is Sweet as Honey yet Causes Bitterness in the Heat of the Spirit?

Believers are called to the role of reconciliation, forgiveness, loving our enemies, and turning the other cheek by being humble and Spirit-filled. Also, the genuinely humble believer will not be timid, but bold.

Part of being bold because of the moving of the Holy Spirit within us is to proclaim the truth even if it takes the form of a rebuke. We are told to love our enemies, but we must not have unity with professing believers who are mired in heresy. On the other hand, those in apostasy must be rebuked in love with the goal of restoring them to fellowship and unity within God’s truth. Continue reading

Refuting the Call for Unity in Compromise: The Importance of Upholding the Biblical Truth of the Flood Narrative

(The Dissenter) Perusing social media this morning, I ran across the following tweet by Gavin Ortlund. Squishy doctrine and false teaching seem to be universal (no pun intended) within the entire pedigree of Ortlund men. His father, Ray Ortlund, is a staunch supporter of Beth Moore and other women pastors and his brother, Dane, wrote a book essentially painting Jesus as an effete and passive servant who has within him no wrath. So it comes as no surprise that Gavin would peddle such views as the following: [See Ortland’s post on the page] Continue reading

If radical gender ideology goes down in California, it will fall everywhere.

“The debate over the measure will be ugly. Its opponents will undoubtedly resort to suicide threats early and often, declaring that this law will push kids to kill themselves. It won’t, but telling kids to take themselves hostage is the transgender movement’s main weapon.”

(The Federalist – Nathanael Blake) The Democrats who run California love “transitioning” kids, including chemically and surgically sterilizing them. But a courageous group of residents is betting California voters are less radical than their politicians and that the tide can turn against gender ideology even on the West Coast. Continue reading
