“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.
(Jamie Bambrick – Clear Truth Media) It’s the start of a new year, and here are four key things I think the church should be praying for in 2025.
1 – The Sheep Would Recognize Which Shepherds Were For Sale
If a Bible-believing Christian from a century ago were suddenly transported through time to our age and found that church leaders today endorse gay civil marriages and ‘Side-B Christianity, supported politicians who advocated for child sacrifice up until birth, advocated for the functional end of nations through unlimited mass immigration, and spent most of their time attacking believers who opposed such positions, all because large Marxist organizations funded their efforts, they would have thought they were witnessing the unbinding of Satan at the end of the age….

[There’s a] disparity between the laymen and the clergy who are to the left of their flock. It also highlights the disparity between White Evangelicals and every other religious demographic, especially Modern Jews, one of the few blocs that Kamala Harris improved upon. This election further highlighted the futility of the term “Judeo-Christians.”
“Inauguration Day now seems a thousand years away. This country desperately needs President-elect Donald Trump to shed the “elect” and get to work undoing the damage that Joe Biden and his “America last” administration have done. It’s going to take a long time.” 
“By taking deliberate steps to re-engage men, the church can fulfill its mission more effectively, providing a space where both men and women can thrive in their God-given roles…” 
“Among his numerous disastrous policies still harming the world today are his decades of legitimizing terrorist Hamas and undermining Israel. While Americans eulogize a man with no major lasting accomplishment, some Israeli and Jewish outlets are more bitterly remembering an antisemitic politician who spent years backstabbing them to appease radical jihadis.”
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him in love, 5 by predestining us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He graciously bestowed on us in the Beloved. Ephesians 1:3-12 (LSB) Read verses 7-12 on the site.
“The National Archives has finally released photos showing then-Vice President Biden meeting with two of first son Hunter Biden’s Chinese government-linked business partners — again proving that the president lied
“So why is Costco staying the course when other companies have seen the light? It’s likely because it thinks it can. After all, there are only a few other outlets where a stricken public can panic-shop when the bird flu pandemic lays us all low. You have to hoard your toilet paper from some store, right?…”
“The criticism toward the woke priorities of Wikipedia comes after studies have determined that there indeed exists a leftist bias on the website, which is one of the most popular in the world.”
“If we have another leak, the hardcore leftists, globalists, socialists, commies, feudal lords, Bernie, and AOC followers on X, Hochul-ites, whatever they call themselves these days, will inflict more totalitarian measures that will never go away.”
(Revolver) By now, most of us understand that the real “force” behind the day-to-day operations inside the White House was Jill Biden. Let’s be honest—Joe wasn’t capable of much, whether it was finding his way off a four-foot stage or leading the so-called free world. Jill was the one making key decisions that impacted not only our lives but also the very existence of the United States on the world stage—all without any political, business, or negotiating experience.
“Paul argues that it is worse to lack biblical love than it is to lack the correct understanding or proper use of these other gifts of the Spirit.”
Lawler quickly countered with a detailed explanation of the financial trail uncovered in House Oversight Committee investigations, saying, “A Chinese company transferred money to a shell company owned by Hunter and Jim Biden that then transferred money directly to Jim and Sara Biden’s shell company that then transferred the money to Jim and Sara’s personal account who then immediately wrote a check for $40,000 to Joe Biden.”
“You have health plan representatives who have never met the patient, have never been at the bedside or practiced medicine, but are now making treatment decisions.” 
“The kenosis heresy suggests that in becoming human, Jesus divested himself of his divine attributes such as omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience, but not his divine essence. This would mean that during his earthly ministry, Jesus was not all-powerful, all-knowing, and present everywhere, but was rather a finite human being in every respect except his sinless nature. This view was controversial in early Christianity and was condemned by some church fathers, such as John Chrysostom and Augustine, as heretical.”
“ABC wants to pull the programming you’ve been enjoying for free or as part of your existing cable package away from your local affiliate and stick it behind ABC’s streaming paywall.” 
“Sean McDowell compromises Scripture by allowing a woman to teach and nuance functionally 2 Samuel 11 to legitimize feminist standpoint epistemology regarding Bathsheba’s role in the story. It is not the first compromise he has made and will unlikely be the last.”
“Just because pagans used a day, an object, or a symbol for their wicked practices hundreds or thousands of years ago does not mean those days, objects, or symbols carry the same meaning today. Think about the way a mere word can change meanings in such a short time.”
“Services frequently blur the line between genuine spiritual expression and theatrics, with worship driven by an almost compulsive need for emotional highs rather than an uncompromising commitment to Scripture….” 
(Madeline Leesman – Townhall) In remarks on Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump promised to put a stop to the radical transgender agenda once he enters office.
(Protestia) Prominent charismatic “prophet” Shawn Bolz is accused of using personal information derived from Facebook to put a woman in harm’s way by “prophesying” that she marry a man who tried to kill her.
“If you have enemies whose weapons are intended to attack the truth, there are indeed times to go on the offensive. It is a good thing to oppose those you mean to oppose, depending upon how you oppose them.”
