14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John *bore witness about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has been ahead of me, for He existed before me.’” 16 For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. John 1:14-16 (LSB)
There is a certain hysteria currently amongst many of our 21st Century Puritans. While I gladly count myself as a Puritan, I also know that our enemy desires to shackle and nullify our witness and divert our focus, by feeding our heightened perceptions as to what is godly and what is false with misleading and derogatory information that cause us to turn on one another. Having experienced this against my own ministry over the last few months I can say that it is very frustrating and eye opening. Continue reading
Gov Gavin Newsom’s “gross mismanagement of the nation’s most-populated state is the stuff of legend, but he never misses an opportunity to blame Republicans who have no say in his one-party state. This time, it was to hammer Donald Trump, who Newsom said chose “to politicize it” (by saying true things about Newsom’s governance). Unfortunately for Newsom, he “did the meme.” He grumbled about Trump while standing with the fire behind him on CNN — just like that infamous CNN reporter who explained that the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis were “fiery by mostly peaceful.”
“Soros has spent upwards of $22 billion to achieve his vision of an “open society,” free from traditional societal structures like borders, national identities, and religions.”
(Anthony Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Within the realm of Christian apologetics, Wesley Huff has had a meteoric rise to prominence after humiliating Billy Carson in a debate, exposing Carson’s intellectual ineptitude. Huff is the

“The Cahn Man [Jonathan Cahn] is now telling us that three blood moons over the next two years are apparently God’s way of sending a cryptic, apocalyptic message to mankind. According to his claims, these celestial events align perfectly with key Jewish holidays like Purim and Rosh Hashanah—dates he insists hold the secret to divine revelation.”
“Cutting fire protection in Los Angeles is like turning off tornado warning sirens in Oklahoma City. It might not come back to bite you right away on the rear end, but eventually, it’s guaranteed to.”
“One of Trump’s first and most important tasks once he takes office should be to investigate every person at the Justice Department and FBI involved in the Jan. 6 prosecutions for conspiracy against rights. The FBI should be gutted, reformed, and rebuilt from top to bottom. Every DOJ prosecutor who brought charges against Jan. 6 defendants should not just be fired but also investigated for possible criminal charges.”
(Protestia) purveyor Daystar Television Network continues to enjoy the fallout from their ongoing scandal, with several shows announcing they are departing or slinking off in silence.
(Charlie Martin – PJ Media) Alternate headline: “Trump and Musk Win Again!”
“Donald Trump is perhaps the best-prepared new President in history. He is laser-locked on fulfilling his campaign promises and has not refined his outlook. He is likely to dust his critics and govern without subterfuge. Americans will know exactly how the President uses power on a daily basis. Some will not like that. Donald Trump doesn’t much care.”
“Ironically, the Democrats with the help of some Republicans previously pushed a law through Congress that requires the vice president to certify an election even if there is significant reason to doubt the legitimacy of official results. This was, of course, a reaction to the contesting of Joe Biden‘s “win” in 2020, but now it ensures that Harris had no alternative but to certify the election. Relegating the VP to “solely ministerial duties” protected and legitimized Democrats’ grip on power then, but now it has apparently backfired.”
(DefiantBaptist – Evangelical Dark Web) Over the Christmas season, Gavin Ortlund decided to fully abandon the Reformation, and that’s no exaggeration. Once considered to be a premier Protestant apologist with a focus on countering Roman Catholic claims, Ortlund has lately descended into 
(Mary Dowling) Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has officially announced his resignation, and we hope Canadians can get some of their lost freedoms back with a new leader. He will step down as soon as a new leader is chosen. As he approached the lectern, his prepared speech blew away. He then quipped, “I’ll wing it.”
“Just imagine a man who spent the remaining years of his life arguing against God’s clear commands suddenly standing before Him. The God who thundered from Mount Sinai, whose holiness caused Isaiah to cry, “Woe is me!”—this is the God Hays faced.”
(John Rosemond – Clear Truth Media) It is my prayer that the members of my extended family who need to read this will do so and that it will help them begin to put their worldviews in order. The family members in question are young and full of themselves, convinced, as was I at the same phase of life, that they are smarter than someone like me—a 77-year-old conservative believer in the Lordship of Christ Jesus. It wasn’t until I was well into my middle years that I realized how deceived I had been and took full responsibility for having left the front door open to the deception. 
For decades the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) have been using the Pentecostal and Charismatic ‘sheep skin’ to take over churches and suppress Christians or Christian groups/churches that have opposed them. Dr. Brown is one of the best examples of being one of its enablers who has used his ‘influential position’ and ‘Pentecostal/Charismatic’ sheepskin to further the cause of the NAR.
(Protestia) Todd Bentley, the famous false teacher and wolf extraordinaire (see endnotes), has unveiled his latest scheme to capitalize on his recent emergency hospital stay, claiming that his experiences gave him the power and authority to “cancel death” and cure terminal illnesses.
“None of them are ‘fessing up to swallowing and regurgitating the White House propaganda about “sharp as a tack,” “running rings around us,” and especially “cheap fakes.” Remember “cheap fakes”? That was the White House term for videos that accurately depicted Biden in his aphasiac moments but which the Bidenites insisted were somehow illegitimate”
CONTINUING UPDATES
“The fact of the matter is that there are churches to build, children to raise, marriages to strengthen, friendships to work on, books to read, businesses to start, ideas to be understood, souls to be reached, prayers to be said, worship to be offered, and sermons to be preached, most of which should not be centered around the latest White House press release.
