“When you make decisions based on what climate alarmists say, disaster is sure to follow; not a single climate doom prophecy has come true in many decades.”
(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) Climate alarmists, despite what CBS debate moderators asserted, “can’t demonstrate that emissions are really having any effects on anything other than maybe they’re helping the planet get greener, which means there’s more life,” Junk Science’s Steve Milloy told PJ Media.

“The blind lead the blind, and they wonder why they keep falling into the ditch. The national puppets boast about their “progressive” and “inclusive” policies, but it’s nothing more than a polished veneer on a rotting corpse.”
(The Dissenter) As I watched the debate last night, a grim realization settled over me—this isn’t Kansas anymore. It’s more obvious now than ever before. Something feels off, something has changed. What we once knew, the life we cherished as kids, has slipped through our fingers. It’s gone. And as I sat there, John Calvin’s words struck me, searing into my thoughts: Continue reading
(Leah Barkoukis – Townhall) Israel has banned United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres from the country over his failure to condemn the latest missile attack from Iran.
“Today, I have declared UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres persona non grata in Israel and banned him from entering the country,” said Foreign Minister Israel Katz.
“Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran’s heinous attack on Israel, as almost every country in the world has done, does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil,” he added…. Continue reading
Christians should reject the backward theology of teachers who twist the character of Christ to punish their political enemies.
(Kylee Greenwood – The Federalist) Never Trump. This time Harris. Always Jesus.” These were the words not of Taylor Swift or Pete Buttigieg but of Ray Ortlund, a card-carrying member of “Big Eva,” in a recent Threads post. In his opinion, following Jesus means rejecting Donald Trump and embracing Kamala Harris this election. Continue reading
(Tristin Justice – The Federalist) The Biden-Harris administration took more than a billion tax dollars that had been allocated to the agency responsible for American disaster relief and used it to offer services for illegal immigrants.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allocated nearly $364 million in the fiscal year 2023 and $650 million for the 2024 fiscal year to the “Shelter and Services Program” “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),” according to the government’s website. Continue reading
(Joel B. Pollak – Breitbart) Iran launched missiles at Israel on Tuesday evening local time, as Israelis throughout the entire country were ordered to take cover in bomb shelters until further notice.
The IDF said in a statement:
A short while ago, missiles were launched from Iran towards the State of Israel.
You are instructed to remain alert and precisely follow the Home Front Command’s instructions
In the last few minutes, the Home Front Command has distributed life-saving instructions in various areas across the country…. Continue reading
“It is important to remember that the promise of Romans 8:28 is not universal. It is not a promise to every human being, but to “those who love God and are called according to His purpose.” For those outside of Christ, suffering may only lead to judgment and eternal separation from God. But for those who love God, this passage offers a profound hope.”
(Keith Foskey – Clear Truth Media) I’ve lived my entire life in Florida, so I am no stranger to the dangers of hurricanes and the devastation they can bring. I vividly remember the impact of Hurricane Andrew when I was a boy and the massive relief efforts that followed in its wake. Those in Louisiana likely have similar memories of Hurricane Katrina….

“Lausanne’s statement certainly appears to be a deliberate attempt to undermine the biblical view of sexuality. When did we start confusing love with the affirmation of sin?”
(The Dissenter) The Lausanne Movement, founded in 1974, presents itself as a global evangelical network aimed at fulfilling the Great Commission. However, it has since evolved into a platform for globalist ideologies, aligning closely with organizations like the World Economic Forum.
Prominent evangelical leaders within Lausanne, including false teachers such as Tim Keller, David Platt, and Rick Warren, push for social justice, wealth redistribution, and environmental activism….
(Matt Vespa – Townhall) We have reports that Israeli forces have invaded Lebanon. It was a military operation many observers foresaw even in the immediate stages of the ground war in Gaza after the October 7 attacks. The rocket attacks from Hezbollah have led to an internal displacement crisis within Israel.
The terror group planned a massive barrage that targeted Tel Aviv that was only disrupted at the last minute by a massive airstrike by Israeli forces. They didn’t get all the munitions but severely crippled what could have been a more deadly attack…. Continue reading
“The typical evangelical Christian is not only disconnected from his father and grandfather, but also from his great-grandfathers, in particular the civil and ecclesial fathers who self-consciously laid the foundations of Western society on the firm bedrock of Christian faith and practice.”
(Ben Zeisloft – Clear Truth Media) If you are a Reformed Christian who has been on social media over the past year, you will notice that conversation about the Crusades has been occurring on a fairly regular basis.
Virtually every conservative Christian male under the age of forty seems to have been newly captivated by historical accounts of the nobles who battled the hordes of Islam…. Continue reading
“The days immediately after 9/11 were perhaps our best and only chance to reset the post-Cold War order. We didn’t, and the battle lines today illustrate that radical Islam has advanced remorselessly and virtually unopposed against the remaining bastions of Western civilization. Keep in mind that this is with no cease-fire, truce, or armistice in place with our enemies. Just because we’ve unilaterally chosen not to fight them doesn’t mean they’ve reciprocated. Why would they?”
(C.A. Skeets – PJ Media) On Oct. 7, 2001, we started bombing Afghanistan in the opening stage of Operation Enduring Freedom. That night, our intelligence located the convoy carrying Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar as he fled Kandahar. But the reconnaissance aircraft that was tailing Omar did not have permission to fire its antitank missiles at Omar. The CIA said it would violate our rules of engagement. When Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld heard about the incident, so enraged was he that he began kicking through glass doors at the Pentagon. Continue reading
Robert Morris was the long-time pastor of Gateway Church. Currently, Max Lucado is the interim pastor of Gateway while they transition to find new leadership. Gateway Church boasted 100k attendance. Gateway Church is a typical charismatic, egalitarian, multicampus megachurch.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Darb Web) Pastor Robert Morris is the founding senior pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch based in Dallas, Texas. He was born on July 29, 1961, in Houston, Texas. Growing up in a Christian family, Morris came to faith at the age of 15. He attended college at East Texas State University (now Texas A&M University-Commerce) but did not complete his degree. Instead, he felt called to enter full-time ministry. Continue reading
14 What shall we say then? Is there any unrighteousness with God? May it never be! 15 For He says to Moses, “I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION.” 16 So then it does not depend on the one who wills or the one who runs, but on God who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, IN ORDER TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND IN ORDER THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH.” 18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. Romans 9:14-21 (LSB) Read verses 19-21 on the site.
The more I deal with those who “resent” the doctrines we hold to here at Possessing the Treasure, such as the doctrine of Justification by Faith Alone, the doctrine of Regeneration, and the doctrine of Election, among many others, the more I have prayed for God to show me why it is that so many reject what is clearly presented in His Word…. Continue reading
“We are called to guard the gospel, to stand firm in the truth, and to reject anything that contradicts the Word of God. False teachers are wolves, and they will tear apart the flock if we let them. So don’t be fooled. Train your powers of discernment, test the spirits, and be a Berean. Because the stakes couldn’t be higher. Souls are at risk, and the truth of the gospel is too precious to compromise.”
(The Dissenter) There’s a plague of false teachers infecting the church today, spreading like a virus through congregations, ministries, and movements around the world. They’re everywhere, and the damage they cause is immeasurable. And you’d be surprised at the amount of emails I receive asking me to look into a particular movement or teacher—many of whom I’ve never even heard of. Continue reading
(Neil Munro – Breitbart) President Joe Biden’s administration is allowing up to 650,000 criminal migrants and suspects — including at least 13,099 migrant murderers and 222,141 migrants facing criminal charges — to roam through American communities, according to a dramatic data dump by a House Republican.
“The data says that, among those not in detention, there are 425,431 convicted criminals,” reported Fox News, which got the information from Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX). The letter from ICE to Gonzalez says: Continue reading
“Where it’s principalities are being threatened we can be sure they will fight back with all their fury. Yet the cool thing here is we have the assurance of faith that the demonic can never withstand the right preaching of the gospel of peace. It may thrash and gnash but it will always lose.”
(Benjamin Glaser) Thinking through how demon possession works in 2023 and how it remains an active force even when so many people do not believe in its existence can be a difficult labor. In some ways writing on this matter can sound like taking time to ponder through leprechauns, fairies, and other mystical forest creatures…. Continue reading
(Katie Pavlich – Towhall) The Israeli Defense Forces launched a strike on Iran’s Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut Friday with a target of eliminating the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
“The IDF conducted a precise strike on the Central Headquarters of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, embedded under residential buildings in the heart of the Dahieh in Beirut,” IDF released in a statement.
Watch the videos on the site. Continue reading
“By including the compliments and history between Lawson and MacArthur, Roys is sinisterly going for guilt by association. Meanwhile, she has already started labeling Lawson an abuser, going so far as to cite a Texas law against clergy sexual abuse.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Most of the church scandals in 2024 have come from known egalitarians, including Mike Bickle of IHOPKC, Robert Morris of Gateway Church, and Tony Evans of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. However, Steve Lawson is not an egalitarian, nor was he some oddball charismatic. In the wake of Steve Lawson’s adultery scandal bringing about his resignation from ministry and the downfall of his legacy, the knives have come out from the usual suspects: the feminists…. Continue reading
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 vs 7-10 on the site.
The key to understanding the passage above is in getting who the “us” is that Paul mentions repeatedly all through it. Whoever they are, they are indeed blessed. Of course Paul is talking about those who are called, those who believe the Gospel and are redeemed out of spiritual death unto eternal life in Christ…. Continue reading
(Tom Rush – Truthscript) The internet is aflame with commentary on the recent revelation of the removal of Dr. Steve Lawson as pastor of Trinity Bible Church of Dallas due to an “inappropriate relationship.” The statement from the elders declares in part that they were “informed by Steve Lawson” of the issue. The details are sketchy, and I hope the elders will provide more clarity soon.
The elders’ statement includes the warning that we should all “be mindful of the words of 1 Corinthians 10:12, ‘Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall.’” Indeed, a wise warning, particularly to those of us entrusted with the sacred duty of preaching God’s Word to His people. Continue reading
(Mary Dowling) A newly released detention filing shows that Ryan Routh maintained a list of all the places Trump was scheduled to be between the months of August and October of this year.
Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors say Routh made reconnaissance trips to Mar-a-Lago before being caught with his AK-47 sticking through the fence surrounding the Mar-a-Lago golf course, minutes from shooting Donald Trump. Continue reading
“He paints the church as a bunch of gatekeepers, cruelly barring entry to the “weirdest, hardest, queerest” people. But isn’t that rich? Bennett pretends as though the gospel is some sort of social club, where anyone can walk in, toss their sin on the table, and get a pat on the back. Newsflash, the gospel isn’t a cozy blanket you wrap around your rebellion. It’s a fire that burns it away.”
(The Dissenter) The Revoice Conference is a coalition of “gay Christians” who collude annually to prop up their status as outspoken homosexuals and promote the gay agenda of full acceptance and inclusion in the ranks of churches in America. Led by gay activists such as Nate Collins and Preston Sprinkle, the Conference promotes an identity of “gay” while committing to a life of “celibacy.” After all, other forms of same-sex intimacy are acceptable within the movement. Continue reading
“While campaigning for Harris on The View on Wednesday, Biden appeared to blame Harris for the administration’s failure to reduce inflation, secure the southern border, and responsibly withdraw from Afghanistan.”
(Wendell Husebo – Breitbart) President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he delegated “everything” as commander-in-chief to Vice President Kamala Harris, including foreign policy and domestic policy.
The acknowledgment is significant because it contradicts Harris’s talking points. Harris has tried multiple times to distance herself from the Biden-Harris record. Continue reading
“And lest you think Harris would only abuse the filibuster just to kill babies, you’ve got another think coming. During her blink-and-you-missed-it 2020 presidential campaign, she suggested dumping the filibuster to pass the Green New Deal: ‘If Republicans continue to block progress, I’ll get rid of the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal.'”
(Chris Queen – PJ Media) It’s almost become a cliché today when someone on the left calls Donald Trump a “threat to our democracy.” Never mind that we’re a republic; the breathless left wants you to believe that Trump will usher in some sort of dictatorship. Continue reading
(Protestia) More details have emerged in the Steve Lawson scandal, with multiple parties alleging that Lawson, 73, engaged in a romantic relationship with a woman in her twenties over five years and that it only ended when the father of the woman in question found out and threatened to tell Trinity Bible Church elders, forcing Lawson to fess up. Notably, the young woman was not a member of Lawson’s church, didn’t live nearby, and both parties insist that no fornication took place, which may explain the church initially characterizing it as an “inappropriate relationship.” Continue reading
