Who Will Say No More to the Current Madness?

“Most know what must be done, but few will tell the truth: Balance the budget. Return to legal only immigration. Restore a well-funded, but unwoke Pentagon….Insist on racial unity. Curb the overweening administrative state. Enforce the rule of law….Produce more gas and oil. Reestablish civic education. Insist universities protect free speech and due process — and stop proselytizing.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Britain slept in the 1930s as an inevitable war with Hitler loomed.

A lonely Winston Churchill had only a few courageous partners to oppose the appeasement and incompetence of his conservative colleague Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Continue reading

5 Ways to Tell if Your Church’s Worship Music is Man-Centered

“True worship, as described in the Scriptures, is a response to Jesus being revealed to us by God the Father. It is not contingent on musical skill, technological prowess, or atmospheric effects. When we look at the worship of God by the angels and His people in the Bible, we see a focus on the character, works, and promises of God….”

(The Dissenter) In the modern age, it’s not uncommon to find churches falling into a pattern of cheesy, shallow worship music. The superficiality of these songs often reveals much about the theology in the church itself. When a church preaches and a congregation subscribes to shallow theology, a low view of the sovereignty of God, and a high view of self, the music produced inevitably mirrors these beliefs….

‘Unbelievable’: DA and Presiding Judge Both Crack Jokes as Trump Is Indicted in Georgia

“The indictment — like any Trump indictment as the 2024 campaign season ramps up — was hardly unexpected. What was unexpected was prosecutors and judges making light of the situation.”

(The Western Journal) Indicting a former president of the United States is serious business, or so the left says after every new charge against Donald Trump.

That, of course, is why the judge and district attorney in the 2024 Republican front-runner’s latest round of charges are having a good laugh about it. Continue reading

Always Learning and Never Able to Arrive at a Knowledge of the Truth

3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the witness for this proper time.1 Timothy 2:3-6 (LSB) 

7 always learning and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth.2 Timothy 3:7 (LSB) 

Carefully read both passages above (1 Timothy 2:3-6 and 2 Timothy 3:7). Notice that the Apostle Paul used the exact same phrase “knowledge of the truth” in both. This a translation of the Greek words ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας in both passages. Notice also that in 1 Timothy 2:4 that Paul clearly is referring to believers coming to an understanding of God’s saving truth in Jesus Christ, however, in 2 Timothy 3:7 he is describing people are unable to do so….

Is Rick Warren A False Teacher?

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Horse) Richard Duane Warren, commonly known as Rick Warren, is an American Evangelical pastor, author, and speaker. Born on January 28, 1954, in San Jose, California, he is widely recognized for his influential contributions to Christian ministry and his best-selling book “The Purpose Driven Life.”

Warren’s early life was marked by a strong religious foundation. He grew up in a Christian family and developed an interest in the church from a young age. After high school, he pursued his education at California Baptist University, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree. Following his undergraduate studies, he continued his theological education at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he earned a Master of Divinity degree. Continue reading

Seeking Counsel

“The tone of this column is cynical, I’m aware. But this entire Biden thing is bogus. The fix was in from the beginning, with Hunter not paying his taxes and generally behaving like a cartel member. The corrupt press helped Hunter out. The Justice Department didn’t care.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Attorney General Merrick Garland is scared. So is FBI Chief Christopher Wray. But most frightened of all should be President Joe Biden. I say should because, at this point, he might not understand or even remember how he enabled his son and brother to amass millions in foreign payments for doing nothing. Continue reading

Hypocrite Pastors Who Complain About Trump, But Refuse to Complain About Democrats

“It is impossible to make the case that voting for Democrats or supporting their pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ, anti-Christian policies and platform is not sinful. It is. And this is where the hypocrisy of these pastors and church leaders comes into play.” 

(The Dissenter) One of my favorite follows on Twitter is Woke Preacher Clips (WPC). I’m the kind of person who is mildly entertained by the mass amounts of stupidity plaguing our world, but at the same time, I grieve over it in the hopes that God will open the eyes of some of these people. It’s really not funny, it’s just how some people process such a sad reality…. Continue reading

Meet the 18 people charged with Trump in Georgia indictment

“Here’s what to know about the other 18 people charged with Trump in the Georgia probe.”

(The Hill) Former President Trump was indicted in Georgia late Monday night on 13 charges ranging from making false statements and impersonating a public officer to conspiracy and racketeering — a charge generally reserved for organized crime.

But the former president is far from the only person tied to the 2020 plot to keep him in power to face serious charges. Continue reading

The Chosen Cast Members Say Jesus Was ‘Flawed’ and That He Committed ‘Transgressions’ (Sin)

(The Dissenter) Anyone who still believes that the popular television show, The Chosen, is a Christian television show is deceiving themselves. While Christians and churches have been entranced by this show for the last several years, many of us have been sounding the alarm about the unbiblical and even subtle heretical propaganda that is being pushed by it. This show exists for the sole purpose of distorting the gospel and dishonoring God and His word.

The word “transgression” finds its roots in a concept that denotes the act of crossing over or stepping beyond a set boundary or limit…. Continue reading

O’Keefe Media Group Unearths Best Buy’s Discrimination

“Christian decorations were out because LGBTQ people might not like them. Sujak’s manager called him anti-LGBTQ. Sujak said that he is not anti-anything. He simply prefers not to be preached to or indoctrinated.”

(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) You may find this hard to believe, but there were times in my life when I was in charge of important things. Once upon a time, I was the program director and operations manager for two radio stations. No, really. As such, I had the power to hire people. That could prove to be a real rodeo from time to time, but that’s another story. Continue reading

Records Reveal Fauci Made Over $300 Million From the Covid Pandemic While Americans Suffered

“So, in other words, the Covid pandemic was one big ploy for the government to get massively wealthy.” 

(Sarah Arnold – Townhall) While the entire United States was under authoritarian mandates, top so-called Covid-19 “experts” were making hundreds of millions of dollars on the pandemic that caused lifelong hurdles for many Americans.

According to records, the former NIH Director, Dr. Francis Collins, and former NIAID Director, Dr. Anthony Fauci, made huge profits from royalty checks during the Chinese virus-fueled pandemic. At the same time, thousands of people struggled to put food on the table. Continue reading

FDA Says You Can Take Ivermectin Now – Not Satire!

“RFK Jr. explained why he thinks ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were banned. It would have collapsed a lucrative enterprise. He says the reason they destroyed ivermectin is because it would have prevented them from getting approval for their experimental vaccine.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The FDA now says we can treat COVID with ivermectin.  Hundreds of thousands of people might be alive today if they were allowed to take it during the pandemic.

Ivermectin began to work for my husband and me within an hour. It’s anecdotal, but I bought more of it to keep on hand. Continue reading

Jesting

3 But sexual immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; 4 nor filthiness and foolish talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. Ephesians 5:3-4 (LSB) 

3 But fornication and any immunity or greediness let it not be named among you as is proper for saints. 4 also indecency and foolish talking or coarse jesting which are not fitting but rather thanksgiving. Ephesians 5:3-4 (translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)

As we saw in the post Counterfeit Love, the sixth characteristic of counterfeit love is jesting or “coarse jesting” as stated in the LSB (above). What is this and is it that big a deal? I also placed Ephesians 5:3-44 from the NA28 Greek New Testament above with my translation below it…. Continue reading

Oh Wretched Man That I Am!

15 For what I am working out, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. 16 But if I do the very thing I do not want, I agree with the Law, that it is good. 17 So now, no longer am I the one working it out, but sin which dwells in me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the working out of the good is not. Romans 7:15-25 (LSB) Read verses 19-25 on the site.

There is a great deal of false teaching going on in the visible Church in our time. One of those teachings has to do with the nature of salvation. I grew up as a Southern Baptist and remained one until 2006. Of course, I was not a Christian until January 1986 and there are even times as I look at how I have matured and become dedicated more and more to my devotion to walk before my Lord according to His will at all times, I wonder if my true salvation took place back in 2004 instead….

BREAKING: Rep. Greg Steube files Articles of Impeachment Against President Joe Biden

(Anthony Gonzales – PJ Media) Rep. Greg Stuebe of Florida filed articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden over his involvement in his son’s corrupt foreign business dealings on Friday.

“It’s long past time to impeach Joe Biden,” Steube said in a press release. “He has undermined the integrity of his office, brought disrepute on the Presidency, betrayed his trust as President, and acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice at the expense of America’s citizens….

Sorry Church Ladies, Jesus is Not Your Romantic Partner

“This trend paints Him less as the sovereign ruler of the universe and more like a divine partner in a cosmic rom-com, always there with a comforting word, a box of spiritual chocolates, and a shoulder to cry on.”

(The Dissenter) In the modern cathedrals of pop-Christianity, where the beats of “worship music” resonate just a tad louder than doctrinal integrity, a new portrait of Jesus has been painted—one that bears less resemblance to the God revealed to us in Scripture and more to a Shakespearean Romeo. Yes, it seems that the Almighty Savior, who upholds the universe by the Word of His power, is now being serenaded as though He’s about to engage in a moonlit waltz…. Continue reading

Bombshell Tucker Interview on J6 That Was Hidden from the Public

TUCKER: “Wait, wait, so the military says we’re so concerned about potential imminent violence that we’re considering shutting down the city, but at the very same time, they decide that the National Guard can’t adopt an aggressive posture?”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Tucker Carlson’s interview with former Capitol Hill Police Chief Christopher Sund is one for the historical record. This was hidden by Fox News. The information about J6 that we are finally hearing was kept from the public for political gain. The administration ignored safety as a violent few lured more than a thousand innocents into the Capitol to parade around and trespass. Continue reading

Hawaii Wildfires Death Toll Stands at 53, Expected to Rise ‘Very Significantly’

“Thousands of people have already been evacuated from Maui.”

(Simon Kent – Breitbart) The death toll from the wildfires that have ravaged vast parts of the west coast of Hawaii’s Maui island over the past 48-hours stood at 53 late Thursday night. Authorities have warned the count is expected to rise.

“In 1960 we had 61 fatalities when a large wave came through Big Island,” Governor Josh Green said, referring to a tragedy that struck a year after Hawaii became the 50th U.S. state. Continue reading

Researchers have trained AI to steal your password by listening to you type because why not?

You’re saying this bot can figure it out just by hearing me type “S!lverSuRf@r1985”?

(Neo – Not the Bee) Most of us go to really great lengths to ensure our passwords are complicated, secure and un-crackable.

But now they’re inventing robots that literally can just listen to us type and figure it out.

A team of UK researchers has trained a deep learning model to interpret keystrokes remotely based solely on audio. Continue reading

Alleged Massive 2020 Election Fraud Exposed in Michigan!

“My estimate is over 800,000 ballot applications were sent to non-qualified voters in Michigan, including many individuals who moved or died, and even some individuals who were underage or non-citizens. Many were sent to people who had moved out of state.”

(Mark S. Schwendau) An exclusive news report in The Gateway Pundit as reported by Benjamin Wetmore and Patty McMurray with input from Phil O’Halloran, Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party’s Election Integrity Committee, and Lori Skibo, Director of the Michigan GOP’s Poll Challenger Program, has jaws dropping. Continue reading

The Afghanistan Withdrawal Re-Examined

(Cal Thomas – Townhall) One of the advantages to a change in majority in one or both houses of Congress is that the public gets to see what the other party won’t address or has been covering up.

Such was the case on Monday when Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) held a forum in Escondido, California, with parents of the 13 service members killed when a terrorist bomber detonated his vest during a chaotic withdrawal from Kabul Airport nearly two years ago. The parents claimed there has been a cover-up and insensitivity to their concerns from the Biden administration. Continue reading

The Whole Armor of God

1 Now I, Paul, myself plead with you by the gentleness and forbearance of Christ—I who am humble when face-to-face with you, but courageous toward you when absent! 2 But I beg that when I am present, I need not act so courageously with the confidence that I consider to daringly use against some, who consider us as if we walked according to the flesh. 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the tearing down of strongholds, 5 as we tear down speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 and are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is fulfilled. 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 (LSB) 

Satan opposes the believer in many ways. No matter how he attempts to subvert our faith, the method he uses is a fiery missile. With these fiery darts he attempts to attack or question or deny God’s character and credibility. We see this as he works through those who hate Christianity and the God of the Bible. Their attacks will always be to try to bring doubt into our hearts about God’s faithfulness and our faith. If we are successful in our service to God he will try to undermine our victories by generating trouble that makes life difficult, thereby temping us to forsake obedience to God’s standards and calling. Continue reading

God’s Impending Judgment on the False Churches of the Modern World

(The Dissenter) In the sprawling panorama of modern Evangelicalism, where the bright marquees of celebrated figures like Andy Stanley and Rick Warren frequently shine, a troubling trend stands out prominently. While historically, the church stood as a pillar of truth against the changing tides of culture, today’s landscape often tells a different story. Many church leaders, swayed more by societal currents than the unchanging Word of God, have morphed into spiritual chameleons, adjusting their hue to match the prevailing tones of popular sentiment. True devotion and fidelity to God’s commandments are now frequently sacrificed at the altar of cultural relevance, resulting in a false gospel tailored more for itching ears than for changed hearts. Continue reading
