“And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world” (1 John 2:2).
Does forgiveness enable sin?
Probably the most frequent go-to verse for assurance of pardon in a worship service is 1 John 1:9. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
This assurance is honey to our flagging spirits when they are weighed down by the guilt of sin. It bathes the guilty conscience with the refreshing waters of God’s grace. Continue reading
“Keller’s family life went viral over the weekend, and so did Joel Webbon. While I had known that Webbon had a communist brother, according to him, many, including myself, were unaware that his brother is also a tranny.”
“These events are sponsored by Jonathan’s Tent, a pro-LGBTQ activist group dedicated to advocating for full acceptance, inclusion, and celebration of LGBTQ Catholics in the life of the Church. The group is named “Jonathan’s Tent” because they believe Jonathan and David had a homosexual relationship.” 
“Paul was not canonizing ignorance in this passage, he was detonating it with a command to repent and believe, or else!”
(Bill Muehlenberg – Culture Watch) I read the opening chapters of Ezekiel again this morning, and when I walked my dog afterwards, I prayed that I would have the experience that Ezekiel had. Let me explain. In chapter 1 we read about Ezekiel’s encounter with the glory of the Lord.
“They’re creating a hoax, just like they did with the Russian dossier, because they think it’s going to somehow be mud thrown on him. It’s not. He has no culpability in this thing at all. The president has clean hands. He wants all the records out. He has told me that himself.”
“If stating the fact that a man cannot be a woman is understood to be violence or terrorism, then your country is not living in reality, is not free, and is on the path to destruction. The UK seems to have gone through the Lewis Carol looking glass and is following the same path of confusion and backwards ‘logic’ into which Alice stumbled.”
“Notice how this story has died quickly ever since Westman was identified as transgender and anti-Trump. The shooter hated everyone, but there was nothing the media could use to attack conservatives. Instead, we’ve seen the media play games, like not knowing what the motive was.”
“The expectation that autopen would handle Biden’s pardons and commutations says everything about how his White House operated and raises legitimate questions about who was really running the country. Staffers routinely mechanically applied Biden’s signature to legal documents, and now we know his own counsel admitted he never actually reviewed what he was supposedly signing.”
Throughout the hearing, Democrats shouted at Kennedy and interrupted him, refusing to allow him to answer their questions even as they made incendiary accusations that he was “corrupt” and a “charlatan.”
“More Democrats have positive views of socialism (67 percent) than capitalism (50 percent). Strong liberals lead the way with 82 percent having favorable views of socialism compared to 28 percent who feel positive toward capitalism. Among Americans under 30, 62 percent feel favorable toward socialism, and 50 percent feel favorable toward capitalism.”
“The same man who once swore allegiance to the Lamb has now pledged allegiance to his flesh. After divorcing his wife of 33 years and announcing in 2008 that he was a homosexual, Boltz retreated into silence for a long time. But now, somewhere on a beach, maybe in Florida, we don’t know, that silence was broken—not with repentance, but with vows.”
“I thought this was about justice for the victims, who were abused by the dead New York financier and his right-hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell, who Democrats lusted to be deposed, got deposed, and then also exonerated Trump…”
(The Dissenter) “The apostle John makes it clear: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us” (
“U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared, “We are going to wage combat against drug cartels that are flooding American streets and killing Americans,” as he prepared to depart on a trip to Mexico and Ecuador.”
(Robb Brunansky – The Cripplegate) The fruit of the Holy Spirit addresses a critical concern in our day – the importance of cultivating virtue. Virtue is a word not often used, but it basically means moral excellency. It speaks to the moral fabric woven throughout our lives. To be a person of virtue means to live according to biblical convictions. Virtue speaks to the character and quality of the heart.
“For purely research purposes, let’s take a look at one of these scientific geniuses. Daskalakis declared that RFK’s moves “do not reflect scientific reality” and that the CDC had reached an “unfettered situation where undue influence and ideology would drive the science.” That would be a shame, wouldn’t it, Demetre? Well, that’s just what happened to Daskalakis, who, by the way, is a Satanist.”
“Like so many of you, I’ve loved this ministry all my life. And while these days are marked by both sorrow and joy, I want you to know that I am more committed than ever to the work God entrusted to us through my father.”
“I use the word “cult” because that’s exactly what the trans movement is. Other than not having a central leader (if anything, their “leader” is social media), it exhibits almost every classic characteristic of a cult.”
