(Protestia) Catholic Newspapers are reporting that Pope Francis has dropped the queer equivalent of the n-bomb during a discussion with Italian Bishops over whether or not gay men should be allowed to become priests.
While there is no such thing as a ‘good’ pope, since they are the head of an evil and wicked heterodox church, Francis has been particularly noxious and vexatious, doing things like affirming the faith of Joe Biden… Continue reading
” It appears that Lentz is setting the stage for a comeback—possibly a new “church” of some sort.”
(The Dissenter) In 2021, infamous Hillsong NYC pastor, Carl Lentz, was fired after he admitted that allegations of a sexual affair with an Islamic woman were true. Since then, Hillsong founder and CEO, Brian Houston, has been embroiled in his own controversies as sex scandal after sex scandal has repeatedly plagued Hillsong Church and the organization’s image had become increasingly tarnished.

19 For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy. (1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 NASB)
19 For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation—is it not even you—before our Lord Jesus, at His coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy. (1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 translated from the NA28 Greek text)
In this post we will look at 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and attempt to unpack Paul’s statement about our Lord’s παρουσια or parousia. What we must never forget my brethren, Christianity is simply another religion if we ignore our Lord’s παρουσίᾳ. It is vital to our doctrines…. Continue reading
(Bill O’Reilly) It is apparent that the corporate media and the Democratic Party are working together to defeat Donald Trump any way possible.
You’ll notice I didn’t say they’ve partnered to reelect President Biden. Most media and democrats understand he is a terrible leader, but, as usual, they put their loathing for Trump ahead of what’s best for the country.
The Biden campaign theme is simple: Trump is an extremist, a threat to democracy. Rinse and repeat. Over and over.
Here are 2 similar questions left for Michelle Lesley in her email box:
I have heard pastors say that believers can sin for a ‘season’ without repentance. In regards to professing believers who follow false teachers, what is a ‘season’? Can they continue following them for months? Years?
Is it possible that someone who is a false teacher is actually saved? Could she truly believe the biblical gospel even though, for decades, she has been terribly mishandling God’s Word, and has been on an increasing trajectory of sin and false doctrine? Continue reading
Glenn Beck receiving a “mantle” from NAR heretic Chuck Pierce.
There are a gazillion reasons why Mormons, including Glenn Beck, are not Christians. Discerning Christians are fully aware that Mormonism is a pseudo-Christian cult. Clearly Jason Whitlock, who is well-meaning, is undiscerning and he’s unteachable to boot! For starters, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) deny fundamental Christian doctrine including the Trinity, and blatantly manipulate the scriptures to fit their own narrative. Moreover, they teach that salvation is by grace plus works. The Mormon Church teaches the outright heresy that people can become gods and goddesses which is a lie from the pit of hell. So how can Jason Whitlock believe Glenn Beck, who is a Mormon in good standing, is a “Christian brother”? It is a fact that the Mormon Church teaches that God was once a man…who inhabited another planet…who became a God…and had a wife…and we all are literally born in heaven as spirit brothers and sisters and then inhabit human bodies on earth.
From the Church’s perspective, which is what really matters, a true believer will not deviate from the historic, orthodox teachings in the Bible, which is the Holy Spirit inspired Word of God. All pseudo-Christian cults, such as Mormonism, deny the essentials of the faith. Glenn Beck is fully aware of this. After reading Protestia’s piece and the Whitlock/Beck emails, return to CRN and read our white paper on Mormonism as it clearly lays out why Mormons are NOT Christians. Continue reading
On this Memorial Day we want to say how thankful we are to those who serve in the armed forces and their families. It is a time to honor and recognize the sacrifice of our fallen soldiers. To the men and women still serving, it is because of you that we sleep soundly at night. Be safe and God bless you!
“The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.” ~ George Washington
14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! Romans 6:14-15 (LSB)
Most of the formative years of my Christian walk were spent in one church from February 1987 through February 2000. During that time we had three pastors. I was in some form of teaching for most of that time. One of the things that always came up when we studied the Old Testament was Romans 6:14-15…. Continue reading

16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray on behalf of one another so that you may be cured. The petition of the righteous, being effective, has great power. James 5:16 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)
Notice that my ability to do these “works” of apologetics or theology or whatever are within a very specific framework. It must be for God’s glory alone and for the edification of the Body of Christ. I can only do these things if it is God’s will for me to them and as my will to do them is lined up with His in this regard. Outside of this framework, it would be like chasing after the wind. It would be me motivated according to the ways of the world with the flesh in view, would not bring glory to God, and would only cause confusion and who needs that? Therefore, before I tackle any “issue” that affects the the Church, what must I do?
In the passage at the top of this post is a very familiar verse. Here is how the LSB renders it. Continue reading

(Ben Bartee 0 PJ Media) It appears Pandemic 2.0 is truly in the works as all of the pieces fall into place: the media terror campaign, the gain-of-function work in U.S. labs, the alleged jump from animals to humans, and now the announcement of new vaxes to be produced by the feds. Continue reading
“The display drew the ire of many Christians, who lamented the blasphemy of placing an idol in the capitol as a sign of the impending judgment of God upon the nation. Some conservative Republicans, while lamenting the statue as blasphemous, defended the existence of the display on the grounds of constitutional freedom of religious expression.”
(Protestia) Hate crime charges have been dropped against Michael Cassidy, the Christian nationalist hero, after he agreed to plead guilty to beheading and destroying a Baphomet statue set up by the Satanic Temple at the Iowa Capitol last December…. Continue reading
“No one asked American voters if they wanted this new population. Americans had no say whatsoever about a seismic shift in our country’s makeup that didn’t have to happen. Why did it happen? Several reasons, most salient among them is a desire on the part of Democrats to reconstitute what they hope will be a majority coalition that will keep them in power.”
(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) This week, Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy argued on the Senate floor that actually, you’re “statistically safer” living in an immigrant neighborhood because immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than native-born Americans. Continue reading
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Darl Web) McLean Bible Church used to be one of the most influential churches in the country. And then they hired David Platt. A documentary exposing David Platt is on the horizon. McLean Bible Church spent and lost a million dollars to prevent the contents of the documentary from reaching the public. While the documentary may be released as soon as next month, Evangelical Dark Web has reviewed some of the documents that will be featured in the film. What it revealed was a conspiracy to join the Southern Baptist Convention and conceal this from the church members, for joining a denomination violated the church’s constitution. Continue reading

…the training materials feature “Side B” mainstays like SSA lesbian Rebecca McLaughlin, Gospel Coalition contributor and reparations hustler Justin Giboney telling trainees to somehow “affirm [the] human dignity and flourishing [of LGBTQ folks]”…
(David Morrill) CRU (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ) has been subjecting its staff to nearly seven hours of video materials promoting SSA (Same-sex attraction) “Side B Christianity” – promoting patently unbiblical and damaging views on gender, sex, sin, and marriage – as evidenced by CRU curriculum that recently leaked online.

(The Dissenter) Anyone needing another reason to abandon all hope in a political savior, here’s one: a federal judge has now ruled that Christian parents cannot opt their children out of LGBTQ lessons in public schools. For now, the ruling applies to Maryland parents, but unless the Supreme Court overturns this ruling, precedent will be set in every state. Continue reading
“Why is this happening in a supposedly enlightened Western nation like Germany? It’s not a mystery. Indeed, German lawmakers are simply applying the same twisted rationale of consent that American lawmakers have been applying to other hot-button issues for years. From gay marriage to so-called “gender-affirming care…”
(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) There was an instructional news item this week that helps explain the collapse of Western civilization we see all around us these days. The German parliament voted to decriminalize the possession of child pornography, downgrading it from a felony to a misdemeanor offense and reducing minimum sentences for possession and distribution.

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. 1 John 1:1-4 (LSB)
Most, if not all, of the contention that I have experienced in this ministry has to do with people’s demand to be “justified” on their own terms. For instance, one fellow angrily told me that the genuine gospel was to do good works, to feed the hungry and minister to the homeless…. Continue reading
(Jonathan Turley) Below is my column in Fox.com on the approaching end of the Trump trial in Manhattan. With the dramatic implosion of Michael Cohen on the stand on Thursday with the exposure of another alleged lie told under oath, even hosts and commentators on CNN are now criticizing the prosecution and doubting the basis for any conviction. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper admitted that he would “absolutely” have doubts after Cohen’s testimony. CNN’s legal analyst Elie Honig declared “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a star cooperating witness get his knees chopped out quite as clearly and dramatically.”… Continue reading
