Minneapolis Shooter Had Another Target…and It Wasn’t Annunciation School

“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.”

(Matt Vespa – Townhall) Robert “Robin” Westman shot and killed two kids at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Another 17 were wounded during the attack, which was during a mass commemorating the new school year…. Continue reading

Damning New Evidence Emerges in Biden Autopen Scandal

“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.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Fresh revelations about Joe Biden’s autopen scandal paint a picture so damning that even his most loyal defenders should be squirming in their seats. Internal emails obtained by the New York Post show a White House in complete disarray, with staff frantically scrambling to figure out whether Biden actually knew what documents were being signed in his name. Continue reading

Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God

29 On the next day he sees  Jesus coming to him and he says, “Look the Lamb of God, the one taking away the sin of the world.” John 1:29 (translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)

In my Nave’s Topical Bible there is a subsection under “Atonement” titled “Atonement – Made by Jesus.” It covers half of page 85 and runs through half of page 88. I find it interesting that the post-modern leaders in the emergent church such as the late Brian McLaren focus so much of their energies on trying to deny that the Lord Jesus’ substitutionary sacrifice on the Cross to atone for the sins of His people was the primary mission of His incarnation….

Kennedy Turns Tables on Democrats in Fiery Hearing on CDC, Vaccines

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.”

(Joel B. Pollak – Breitbart) Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. turned the tables on Democrats on Thursday during a fiery Senate hearing in the wake of the recent firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez.

As the hearing commenced, Democrats held a rally outside the Capitol, demanding that he resign his post. Continue reading

The Ultimate Poison Pill: The Death of the Democratic Party and the Difference Between Good and Evil

“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.”

(Scott Pinsker – PJ Media) Theologians dedicate their lives to understanding the Almighty, but even the wisest, smartest theologian’s understanding is limited: A finite being is incapable of fully understanding an Infinite Being. The disparity is simply too great. Continue reading

Former GMA Dove Award Winner Holds Beachside ‘Wedding’ with Homosexual Partner

“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.”

(The Dissenter) Back in the 90s, few voices rang louder in evangelical youth groups than Ray Boltz. Choirs sang his ballads, even parents wept at his lyrics, and GMA Dove Awards were stacked on his shelf. Continue reading

Did the Jeffrey Epstein Victims Just Exonerate Trump?

“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…”

(Matt Vespa – Townhall) The Jeffrey Epstein story was bound to become a circus, and the chances doubled once Democrats and the liberal media thought they could use it to take down President Donald Trump. The derangement exhibited by these people has long reached epic levels, to the point where rumor and speculation has replaced reality and facts…. Continue reading

Surprise, Jen Hatmaker Completely Denounces Church, Says She May Never Go Back

(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” (1 John 2:19).”

To abandon the bride of Christ is not a side path in the Christian life—it is to abandon Christ Himself. There is no way around this truth. You cannot sever yourself from His people and pretend to cling to His Person. The bride and the Bridegroom are inseparably joined. Reject one, and you reject the other. Continue reading

Trump Orders U.S. Military Strike on Drug Boat, Killing 11 Tren de Aragua Terrorists in Warning to Traffickers

“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.”

(Bob Price – Breitbart) On direct orders from President Donald Trump, U.S. military forces launched a precision strike on a drug-laden vessel in international waters, killing 11 Tren de Aragua narcoterrorists en route to the United States. Trump declared the operation a clear warning to traffickers that those who smuggle poison toward American shores will face swift and lethal consequences. Continue reading

Sola Scriptura and unbelief

Sola Scriptura – In Sacred scripture alone

Sola Gratia – Salvation is by grace alone

Sola Fide – Through faith alone

Solus Christus – In Christ alone

Soli Deo Gloria! – For the glory of God alone!

1 Then was Jesus led aside of the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days, and forty nights, he was afterward hungry. 3 Then came to him the tempter, and said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answering, said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:1-4 (1599 Geneva Bible) 

Unbelief is the fruit of arrogance. I hear nearly every day from some Emergent/Post-Modern know-it-all that certainty is the product of pride and the only ones who are truly humble are those who view uncertainty in all things as a virtue. What is unbelief in this context? To define it we must first define its opposite, belief. Continue reading

The Fruit of the Spirit: Introduction

(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.

We don’t hear a lot today in the church about virtue, character, or moral excellency. There might be many reasons for this omission but let me suggest a couple. The first is that calling people to a high standard of moral excellence is to place a demand on them. These demands are difficult to fit in with our typical mindset of making the church consumer friendly and minding our own business. Continue reading

J.K. Rowling Might End Up Canceling Cancel Culture All on Her Own

J.K. Rowling, Wikimedia Commons photo

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Okay, just a few quick post-holiday Monday musings, then everyone can throw themselves back into a normal schedule. I hope everyone who had the day off enjoyed it.

My daughter was born right around the time that the first Harry Potter books were published, so that whole phenomenon was a big part of her youth. Honestly, all of that was more pleasant to deal with as a parent than most of what Disney was putting out at the time. I even read the first few books in the series just to see what all of the hoopla was about.

I might have read them all if I’d known how cool J.K. Rowling would turn out to be. Continue reading

The Incarnation of Christ

I am reading a book by J.C. Ryle right now. It is awesome if you like Biblical exegetical studies, that is. In any case, the name of the book is Expository thoughts on The Gospel of John. This post is born out of my reading the chapter titled “John 1:15-18”, which I read this afternoon as I was parked in the parking lot at the school where my two grandsons are enrolled. I was waiting for them to exit the building so I could drive them home. I finished the chapter about 5 minutes before I started seeing students coming out. I knew right then that I was going to put something together this evening about what I read. I pray this blesses you my brethren. Continue reading

The CDC, RFK, and the Science

“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.”

(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) You remember the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, right? The CDC is the government agency that told us to mask up and stay six feet apart during the COVID pandemic. The gaggle of bureaucrats who colluded with teachers unions to close schools. The gang of doctors and scientists who pushed vaccines that didn’t measure up to promises and then quietly updated damaging data. Continue reading

Should Christians Rebuke Satan?

“Should we be giving orders to fallen angels? Should Christians rebuke Satan to fight their sin?”

(Dan Crabtree – The Cripplegate) If you were to tour Martin Luther’s house in Wittenberg today, you would see a dark spot on the wall of his study. The docents of the property attribute this spot to a famous incident in which Luther, awakened in the night by Satan, grabbed an inkwell and threw it at the Tempter. Whether or not the story is true, it made it into a collection of stories by the Brothers Grimm, and has become a kind of historical footnote to the modern practice of Satan rebuke. Continue reading

John MacArthur’s Son, President of ‘Grace To You’ Ministries, Shares Vision for Future

“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.”

(Protestia) Matt MacArthur, son of the late John MacArthur and the President of Grace To You Ministries, has shared an update regarding the continued vision for the organization following John’s death over a month ago.

Founded in 1969, Grace to You is a nonprofit media ministry that has distributed John MacArthur’s Bible resources—including sermons, books, videos, and pamphlets—for over five decades, reaching millions worldwide. Continue reading

The Transgender Movement is a Violent Cult

“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.”

(C.A. Skeet – PJ Media) Robert Westman. Otherwise known as “Robin.” Does that name ring a bell? He was the hate-filled, anti-Christian transgendered coward who murdered three children and three adults at the Covenant School in Nashville. For years, Nashville law enforcement and the court system conspired to keep the shooter’s 100-plus pages of writings under lock and key, until the FBI released them earlier this year.

Oh wait, my bad. That was Audrey Hale. Continue reading

The Incarnate Word and Sunday Mornings

14 And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. and we gazed upon his glory, glory as of the only one from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)

Read Psalm 23 on the site.

I write this motivated from my Lord’s own work in my heart over the past several days to “restore my soul” (Psalm 23:2). The battle against apostasy and seeing how the visible church is becoming more and more symbolic and less and less genuinely focused on what the Apostle John calls “Spirit and Truth” has caused me to become susceptible to attacks from the enemy all designed to discourage and distract…. Continue reading

This May Be the Worst Media Gaslighting About the Minneapolis Shooting Yet

“The Minneapolis shooting wasn’t random. A transgender-identifying man who openly despised Christians and conservatives was responsible. Yet instead of reporting the truth, the media twisted itself into knots to protect its preferred narrative. That’s not journalism; it’s propaganda.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The horrendous mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis reveals something far more insidious than just violence; it exposes the media’s relentless drive to distort reality when an event clashes with their preferred narrative. Continue reading

The Sermons the Church Refuses to Preach

“The command is plain. Men are called to act like men—to stand firm, protect, lead, provide, and sacrifice. Yet our age is marked by absent fathers, passive husbands, and pastors who trade courage for applause.”

(Virgil Walker) Every generation has sins it refuses to name. Ours is no different.

The early Church named idolatry. The Reformers named indulgences. The Puritans named hypocrisy.

But today’s pulpits? Continue reading

Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted

10 ¶ But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of living, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience, 11 Persecutions, and afflictions which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra, which persecutions I suffered: but from them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution. 13 But the evil men and deceivers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3:10-13 (1599 Geneva Bible) 

“Christians” in the United States and other “civilized” countries do not exist in a climate of a fear of persecution like those in China and India (for now). Some would say that is because of our culture or that there are huge numbers of Christians here. However, the truth of the matter is that Christians who live in total obedience to their Lord will be persecuted…. Continue reading

Shocking Stats on Psychiatric Care for Trans & Mentally Ill in the US

(Mary Dowling) Did you know that there is no psychiatric care for these mentally deranged people like the man who murdered and wounded children and elderly people in Annunciation Church? Rep. Tim Murphy joined Rob Finnerty on Newsmax last night to share the stunning facts.

You might not know how impossible it is to get psychiatric care for these mentally ill people. The left has tried to solve it with gender ideology and it has made things much worse. Continue reading

This Truth Bomb on Trans Violence Is a Must Watch

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The nation was left reeling Wednesday after a tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, where a gunman killed two young children and injured several others. Authorities later identified the shooter as a transgender-identifying male with radical left-wing views—a detail the media was quick to downplay. Sadly, this has become an all-too-familiar pattern. Just as we saw after the 2023 Covenant school massacre in Nashville, the press is once again bending over backwards to bury the shooter’s transgender identity…. Continue reading

Walking Circumspectly

21 Foolishness is joy to him that is destitute of understanding: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly. Proverbs 15:21 (1599 Geneva Bible) 

15 Take heed therefore that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the season: for the days are evil. 17 Wherefore, be ye not unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:15-21 (translated from the NA28 Greek text) Read verses 18-21 and Greek text on the site.

This “walking,” this περιπατεῖτε is the present, indicative, active form of the verb περιπατέω, which, in this context, is speaking of ‘walking concerning something.’ It is describing a certain way in which a Christian walks through each day…. Continue reading

Reports circulating that Catholic Church shooter was transgender… We’ve obtained his manifesto

“The suicide note to his family evinces a completely sick, narcissistic, and demon-possessed mind. The alleged shooter, Westman, appears to take a sick and twisted pleasure in inflicting pain and hardship on his family, which he couches as an “apology” for doing so.”

(Revolver) There was a horrific shooting at a Catholic Church in Minneapolis, where two young kids, sitting in the pews during mass were gunned down and murdered.

This unfolded today at Annunciation Catholic Church. Continue reading
