(Nick Peters – Deeper Waters) Should we expect to hear the voice of God? Let’s plunge into the Deeper Waters and find out.
My boss at the Post Office was surprised when I told her that hearing the voice of God is not a part of normative Christian living. It hasn’t been for centuries. It’s only been in more recent times that Christians have been convinced they are hearing the voice of God and that this is what everyone is supposed to do.
Someday, I would like to know where it started. Continue reading
He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. (
1 Therefore, since there is encouragement in Christ, consolation of love, fellowship of the Spirit, affection, and compassions, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, the same love, as ones joined in soul and of one mind. (Philippians 2:1-2 translated from the NA28 Greek text)
“What’s most frustrating about it is that so many Christian parents still just don’t get it, or don’t care. They’ve let nostalgia for the Disney of their youth cloud their judgment. After all, how could the same company that gave us The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast possibly be leading their children into spiritual danger?”
“The Quest Book Shop is where U.N. officials gather to meditate and read material from the Theosophical Society. Founded by a Russian mystic named Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891), who wrote The Secret Doctrine, Theosophy teaches that man can become God through mystical experiences, and can even perform miracles.”
(Mike Solecki – TruthScript) As Christians, we have a sincere desire for the lost to be saved. We also understand, “the gospel is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16 NKJV), including homosexuals. Yet today, the church is being sold a bill of goods that claims our disciple-making efforts have been unloving, harsh, and even oppressive. We are told this is especially true when it comes to homosexuality.
17 “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 “For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:17-20 NASB)
(Protestia) Fourteen years ago, Todd Burpo, an evangelical pastor, wrote the New York Times best-selling book 
“Because we live in a constitutional republic, citizens have power and therefore certain duties. Just as a husband should love his wife (even when respect isn’t reciprocated from her), so too should a citizen fulfill his duty even if his ideal candidate isn’t on the ballot or if his vote is radically different from his neighbor’s and might be “wasted.” Many evangelicals who live in blue areas and sense that their vote won’t matter are disinclined to vote because they don’t think they can win. While we should aim to win, voting is about fulfilling your neighborly duty first.”
“Cheney is a neocon, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, and a longtime establishment figure in Congress. She helped Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on the partisan January 6 Committee, reportedly leaked on former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, asked for Democrats’ vote in her 2022 reelection campaign, and grew her net worth from an estimated $7 million when she first took office in 2017 to possibly more than $44 million in 2020.”
(Bill O’Reilly) Had a vision the other night which was actually a feverish dream. The Vice President of the United States agreed to be interviewed by me. Crazy, I know, but here’s how it went down.
(Protestia) During a Grace Community Church Sunday night service, Pastor John MacArthur answered a question about his friend, former Trinity Bible Church pastor and former Master’s Seminary professor Steve Lawson, stating one of the ways God loves and purifies the church is “to expose someone in a position they have no right to be in.”
“The sheer arrogance of it all is mind-boggling. Who does Stanley think he is to redefine Christianity? He’s not the first to try this, of course—liberal theologians have been doing it for centuries. But Stanley is particularly dangerous because he comes from a respected evangelical background, yet he is leading people down the exact same path that others have followed into heresy. It’s the same old liberal poison, dressed up in new packaging.”
(Greg Piper – Just the News) Public school districts across the country face a daunting challenge from the world’s Abrahamic religions, their lobbying organizations, eminent legal scholars and half the states.
(Lynn Pratt) “Soaking prayer,” which became trendy some years back, is billed as resting/soaking in the presence of God/the Holy Spirit. Sometimes actual prayer (that is, talking to God) is involved, but the emphasis seems mostly on having the mind clear/empty/open. And it’s obvious that participants are expecting something to happen right then. Assorted promos suggest that, as you soak, you might feel a warm/cold sensation, a tingling, a breeze; you might see an aura. You can also entertain a hope to hear God speak, be visited by an angel, understand the Bible better, “get results faster” (faster than what?), experience a healing, come out of spiritual dryness, receive a direct revelation… The idea is that soaking “allows the Lord to show his love for you.” (I’m confused. Since the Lord shows his love to me 24/7, I’m pretty sure he knows he’s “allowed” to.) 
(Jim Hoft – Gateway Pundit) A new cancer treatment protocol involving repurposed drugs Ivermectin (commonly known as a ‘horse dewormer’), Fenbendazole (a ‘dog dewormer’), and Mebendazole has recently passed peer review and is being heralded as a potential breakthrough in cancer therapy.
Smith argues that Trump’s “refuse[al] to say whether he would accept the election results” of 2020 (which saw unelected leaders usurp the authority of state legislatures and unilaterally change election procedure) and Trump’s expressing concern about potential fraud are grounds for prosecution and jail time.
“Zero cases of myocarditis or pericarditis were found in the unvaccinated group.”
(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) Josh Daws, @JoshDaws, wrote on Twitter/X the following: Jacques Ellul on the role of the small group in spreading propaganda–The church has yet to fully reckon with how small groups, without strong pastoral oversight, can and have become vehicles for spreading woke ideology within congregations. The dynamics of small groups often favor conformity over true discipleship. The most assertive individual usually sets the tone, and the group’s consensus follows. This makes it easy for ideology, rather than genuine biblical teaching, to take root.
Several Facebook friends have sent a message to me written by Sandy Barker-Mitchell. I have two problems with Sandy’s message. But before I address those, here’s what Barker-Mitchell wrote:
(Protestia) Jonathan Cahn is a Messianic Jewish Rabbi who never misses an opportunity to falsely prophesy, promote speculative revelations of economic collapse that never come to pass, or treat the bible as a magical codebook from which he can uncover hidden mysteries and secrets that he can populate his next book with.
(Cristina Laila – Gateway Pundit) O’Keefe Media Group on Thursday released a second round of Meta engineers revealing censorship practices.
