Why We Need a Crucified and Risen Savior
(Robb Brunsnsky – The Cripplegate) This month, we are starting a series entitled Suffering Servant, Risen Lord, as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Over the next several weeks, we will look at different passages of Scripture relating to the purpose of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
The first is Genesis 3, which is the account of humanity’s fall into sin through Adam’s transgression and the place where redemption and salvation became necessary. Prior to Genesis 3, we did not need a crucified and risen Savior because there was no sin.
When sin entered the world, though, everything changed, and it required radical action from God if humanity was to be rescued from destruction and death. The only solution to the problem of sin was a crucified and risen Savior. Continue reading
President Trump just shared this video on Truth Social—is he sending his enemies a bone-chilling message?
WATCH THE VIDEO TRUMP POSTED.
(Revolver) Make no mistake, 2024 is shaping up to be one of the fiercest political showdowns we’ve ever seen. The shenanigans of 2020, with the COVID “pandemic,” mail-in voting chaos, and ballot harvesting (to name just a few), were just the tip of the iceberg. And here we are again, with the Democrats fielding a candidate who’s not exactly at the top of his game. If Joe Biden was considered a lost cause in 2020, the situation has only deteriorated. Now, the man’s ability to water a plant, much less run the most powerful country in the world, is under the microscope…. Continue reading
Wefare USA! Socialist NYC’s $1400 Debit Cards for ‘Newcomers’
“America’s wealth took two and a half centuries to build, and now everyone is allowed to plunder it except for you.”
(Mary Dowling) Mayor Eric Adams’s administration launched its program to give prepaid debit cards to New York City migrants this week. Adams signed a no-bid $53 million contract for the deal.
Staffers with the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance handed out eight preloaded Mastercards at the Roosevelt Hotel on Monday as part of its pilot program that will expand to 115 cards by next week. Continue reading
Good Friday: Was It Cosmic Child Abuse?
(Josh Buice – G3) On Good Friday each year, Christians remember the most glorious sacrifice and the most horrific murder that ever occurred in human history. Why do we refer to the Friday after Thanksgiving as “Black Friday” and the Friday before Easter “Good Friday”? Should they be reversed?
It’s the day set aside on the calendar to remember the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus for the sins of his people and the heinous murder of God’s Son. Why would we celebrate that day as a good day?… Continue reading
The One True Gospel
23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Matthew 24:23-24 (LSB)
I will be 73 years old later this year. I have been a Christian for about 38 years, but I grew up in a “Christian” home going to church every Sunday until I grew up and went my own way. I know that Christians are commanded to be forgiving, kind, and gentle with others. However, we are also commanded to stand firm and withstand false teachers and their doctrines…. Continue reading
Obama Has ‘Grave Concern’ Biden Will Lose, Is Ready to Intervene
(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Despite mail-in voting and ballot harvesting and a host of other perfectly legal ways to tilt the playing field, could Old Joe Biden actually lose in November? If a Tuesday New York Times story is to be believed, the answer is a resounding yes, and among the most worried is the senescent corruptocrat’s old friend and mentor, Barack Obama.
“Old friend and mentor,” as is well known, is largely an image manufactured for public consumption. Obama has actually taken the measure of his aged former wingman, and has famously warned: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to [mess] things up.”… Continue reading
The Invasion of Secularism and the Loss of Shame in Society
“Today, secularism manifests in such ways that were unthinkable throughout history. From parents handing their children over en masse to drag queens to millions of women marching in the streets to protect the right to kill their own children. Secularism is as unnatural as it is horrific.”
(The Dissenter) In the escalating conflict between religion, biblical Christianity in particular, and the ever-evolving tides of Secularism, the distinction has never been more profound or more critical…. Continue reading
The Valley of Humiliation and dealing with discouragement
23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. Genesis 40:23 (LSB)
My natural tendency is to heartily participate in self-pity, outrage, and unforgiveness thereby opening doors in my heart that Satan enters causing me to become discouraged. When this happens to me, I find that my circumstances drive me to become very negative and impatient. I suppose that this is one of my besetting sins which clings closely to me ready to cut in on me causing me to drop out of the race God has set before me to run with endurance (Hebrews 12:1-2)….

Al Mohler Changes Position On Abortion
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Al Mohler has been around for a long time in the Southern Baptist Convention and has had a tremendous impact on how the SBC got to where it is today. For better or worse, Al Mohler has had many position changes in his career relating to liberalism, feminism, homosexuality, and a stated position on Critical Race Theory. However, recently Al Mohler has changed his stance on abortion and whether a woman is morally and should be criminally culpable for it. Continue reading
SBC Women’s Conference Speaker Appears in Promo Video With Transgenders Promoting LGBTQ Ideology in the Church
“This represents the usual attempt to downplay the sinfulness of same-sex marriage by redefining it as a Christian ordinance rather than a Creation ordinance. It suggests that God’s teachings on marriage are only applicable within the realm of Christianity.”
(The Dissenter) Rachel Gilson, a self-described same-sex attracted woman who spoke at the Southern Baptist Convention’s women’s conference in 2023 has now appeared in a promo video released by Preston Sprinkle’s Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender…. Continue reading
Tulsi Tells Tucker Who She Thinks Is Running the White House
(Mary Dowling) Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama portrayed former Rep. from Hawaii Tulsi Gabbard as a traitor and a Putin puppet after she risked her life in service of her country. Tulsi bucked them on war. She addressed that with Tucker Carlson during a recent interview.
“I had the audacity to go against them to challenge the elite of the Democratic Party,” Tulsi said, “which is Hillary Clinton, and it’s Barack Obama, and it’s the people who surround them, in the military-industrial complex, in the media-industrial complex, those who are pushing and it’s not limited the Democratic Party, of course.

Are You Ready for a Major Jihad Attack in the U.S.? Because It’s Coming.
(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) What’s coming is as plain as day.
Our nation can hardly be said to have a southern border at all anymore. Even if the border were magically to reappear tomorrow, millions of people are already in the country without anyone knowing who or what they are. One hundred sixty-nine people on the FBI’s terror watch list were caught at the border in 2023; nobody knows how many people on that watch list got across the nonexistent border without being caught. Continue reading
I’d Rather Have Jesus…Than A Chocolate Easter Bunny
By Marsha West
Easter evokes images of decorative baskets filled with all sorts of goodies, cool new clothes, church services, the annual Easter egg hunt, families and friends gathering together to enjoy a sumptuous meal. Doesn’t it seem a bit odd that people will spend an entire day celebrating a make-believe rabbit?
Today when Easter Sunday rolls around a good many Christians spend more time participating in secular events than celebrating the Resurrection of their Savior. Before I move on I should point out that “Easter” is now passé. Wanting to remove the Christian origins of our language, secularists managed to change Resurrection Sunday to Easter Sunday and Easter break to spring break – all in the name of tolerance. Fortunately a large number of believers have caught on to their shenanigans and have gone back to using Resurrection Sunday instead of Easter.
Just as our postmodern culture has secularized Christmas, likewise Easter has been secularized and now we incorporate the Easter Bunny, hunting for colorful eggs and binging on chocolate and jellybeans. There’s nothing wrong with Easter festivities per se — but for Christians, Christ’s triumph over death ought to be the reason for the celebration. What does a big bunny, a basket filled with plastic Easter eggs and decadently delicious goodies have to do with Jesus? Continue reading
What is Christian Suffering and Perseverance?
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to obtain an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, having been kept in heaven for you, 5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:3-7 (LSB)
Because of God’s grace and regeneration, believers are changed forever. However, they are not immediately at the spiritual maturity level that God desires for His people. Therefore, from that point until they go home to be with their Lord, all genuine Christians will go through a series of tests and trials that put pressure on their faith…. Continue reading
Why the Transgender Craze Is Coming to an End
“Even the UK’s Labour Party said banning trans women from female sports protects the integrity and safety of the competition….”
(Matt Vespa – Townhall) Madeline touched upon this earlier this month when the United Kingdom issued a total ban on puberty blockers for minors. The National Health Service took a significant step in ending the “transanity” that’s engulfed the Western World. It became a liberal war cry, but what’s happening across the pond will inevitably be exported here. There’s something about minors undergoing genital mutilation surgeries and competing in sports where they didn’t belong that doesn’t sit well with most Americans…. Continue reading
Hamas Digs In on Hostages After Biden Betrays Israel at UN
(Joel B. Pollack – Breitbart) Hamas is reportedly refusing to accept Israel’s terms for a hostage deal and digging in on its demands after the Biden administration refused to veto a United Nations Security Council resolution on Monday calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The resolution did not require that Israeli hostages be released as a condition of a ceasefire — a requirement that the U.S. had made in previous proposals. Instead, the resolution simply mentioned the release of the remaining hostages. Continue reading
Irish Voters Defeat Leftist Referendum To Remove ‘Mother’ From Constitution
“The change might seem small, but it would put Ireland in the position of attempting to be the first nation in history to eliminate from its governing language words that describe objective realities about people.”
(Tim Goeglein – The Federalist) On March 8, Western civilization dodged a bullet. On that day, voters in Ireland went to the polls to vote on a referendum that could ultimately result in worldwide changes for the definition of the family. Continue reading
Whose sins are forgiven and why?
48 And he said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven.” 49 And the ones reclining with him began saying among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” (Luke 7:48-49 translated from the NA28 Greek text)
In Luke 7:36-50 there are three main characters. There is our Lord Jesus Christ, Simon the Pharisee, and an unnamed woman who is referred to in v37 and v39 simply as ἁμαρτωλός (hamartōlos), “sinful, sinner.” The events in this passage take place at a meal in Simon’s home and there are others reclining at the table with them. The unnamed woman is uninvited…. Continue reading
A New and Rising Liberalism in the Church
“Make no mistake: Modern Liberalism is just as heretical as was the theological liberalism of the early 20th century. It is heresy to deny the necessity of sanctification for believers as much as to deny the authority of scripture. To deny that Christ truly transforms his people in this life is as much heresy as it is to deny that he came to save.”
(Aaron Prelock – Reformation 21) There’s a new liberalism making its way through our churches and transforming our denominations. No, this liberalism doesn’t deny the virgin birth or the historicity of Jesus’ resurrection. This liberalism is steeped in biblical exegesis and historic-Reformed categories…. Continue reading
Chick-fil-A Is Making a Big Change to its Chicken Due to Supply Reasons
“The decision has sparked backlash over social media. One X user posted, “Chick-fil-A going back on their no antibiotics ever commitment was not on my bingo card. Its been a good run.”
(Adelle Nazarian – Western Journal) Chick-fil-A announced it will move away from its previous standard of serving antibiotic-free chicken, beginning this spring.
The chain cited supply concerns as the reason for the shift. Continue reading
Planet Fitness Is Having Its Bud Light and Drinking It, Too
“People are reporting on social media that they have canceled their members to Planet Fitness over this incident.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Earlier this month we reported that an Alaska woman had her Planet Fitness membership revoked after she reported finding a man shaving in the women’s locker room while a young girl was present. The man refused to leave insisting “he had a right to be there” because he identified as “queer LGB.” Continue reading
It Needs To Stop
The indoctrination and grooming of our children by demonic, perverted public school officials, teachers and school board members is staggering. It’s one thing if you’re an adult and want to act out sexual deviancy in your own life. But as the LGBTQP+ crowd has told us, they’re now coming for our kids, and they’re not ashamed to admit it. Parents who object are labeled “domestic terrorists.”
(Rob Pue – News With Views) As a kid, I attended a public school in a small, rural town in the 1970s and early ‘80s. Even though it was a small public school, as I look back today, I can see we were — even then — being indoctrinated with a “globalist” agenda…. Continue reading
Put Away
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and anger and wrath and shouting and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Instead, be kind to one another, tender-hearted, graciously forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has graciously forgiven you. Ephesians 4:30-32 (LSB)
Much that is wrong that is causing the confusion in the church visible all around us right now is the result of complete misunderstanding of what it means to be a true disciple of Christ, a Christian. John MacArthur’s book, Slave, is a great source for believers to read and then understand their true role in the Kingdom of God…. Continue reading
Biden Regime Considering New Move to Stab Israel in the Back
“This is just the latest in a growing series of indications that the Biden regime is abandoning Israel and pulling for a Hamas victory. After threats from Nihad Awad of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Gaza City) to withhold the Muslim vote if the regime doesn’t betray Israel, the regime began doing just that, step by step, in slow motion….”
(Robert Spencer – Front Page) The Biden regime is in a tough spot. Its far-left base is enraged over its ongoing ostensible support for Israel. Instead of acting with integrity despite the electoral cost and standing by a loyal ally in its time of need, the regime is making a series of moves to betray Israel and give aid and comfort to its enemies. Continue reading
