Some of you may recall that in the late 1990s Evangelicalism was introduced to a movement that was “rethinking Christianity against the backdrop of postmodernism” (skepticism, subjectivism, moral relativism). America’s younger generation of professing Christians who thought of themselves as enlightened began rethinking “Old Time Religion,” as they felt there was a need for a “new kind of Christianity.” So naturally these young progressive/liberals were drawn to the movement. Emergent Village, an official network, soon surfaced as one of the leading voices in the emerging “conversation” that was going on among Christians who felt “disillusioned and disenfranchised by the conventional ecclesial institutions of the late 20th century.” Continue reading
37 But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ Matthew 21:37 (LSB)
(Mary Dowling) A war of terror with real weapons of war is being fought on our border, child sex trafficking is on the rise, and a dangerous Venezuelan gang is taking over city streets. It’s Harris’s America.
“We recognize that God’s children are engaged in warfare. It is not a warfare of flesh and blood, sure, but a warfare of spiritual power (Eph 6:12). Yet it is warfare that we are called to be equipped to fight (Eph 6:10–20), and it is not a spiritual conflict that is bifurcated from temporal realities. Our weapons of warfare are spiritual weapons.[Armor of God below] and we are called to resist both devil and flesh in this warfare. Our God is a warlike God, and consequently His children experience victory and conquest through union with Him…Christians are called to be ready for the attacks of spiritual warfare in this life, to be prepared for the battles that lay ahead.”
“But other transcripts gathered by Loudermilk during his subcommittee’s ongoing probe of Jan. 6 security failures show civilian leadership at the Pentagon admittedly openly they would not comply with Trump’s wishes, with some saying they did not like the optics of armed soldiers or Guardsmen roaming the Capitol with weapons during what was supposed to be a peaceful transition of power.”
“Any GOP candidate who can clearly articulate why Liberty and free enterprise are winning goals for women and their families will attract enough voters, male and female, to defeat the Left’s socialist propaganda machine. A majority of women are NOT the emotionally incontinent idiots Democrats believe they are.”
(Pastor Don Green) My thoughts on Steve Lawson.
“If you believed the lies and voted or cheated for Biden/Harris, you might be thinking that you are a basically good person who supports decency and fairness. Now, more than ever before, it’s perfectly clear that there is nothing decent or fair about Marxist Social Justice, Critical Race Theory, the Carbon Climate Hoax, etc.”
(AWR Hawkins – Breitbart) Fifty-eight-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged would-be assassination in Palm Beach on September 14, 2024, allegedly left a note with a friend making clear his intent to kill former President Donald Trump.

(Owen Anderson – Clear Truth Media) It is a widely known secret that many secular university professors actively work to deconstruct the faith of young Christian students. Sometimes they do this by directly assaulting the truths of the Christian religion. They deny the existence of God and replace him with the materialistic dialectic. They deny humanity’s need for redemption and replace Christ with the State. And they mock Christian morality and replace it with “do what thou wilt is the whole of the law.”
“An additional danger is that the speakers who ‘go on the circuit’ are also vulnerable, maybe even more so than the layman. Constant time apart from church home, family, too many temptations on the road and less accountability from people who know him or her can lead to devastating consequences for the Speaker. And wouldn’t satan just gloat when that happens?”
“Scandals among Christian leaders are heartbreaking, disappointing, embarrassing. But the God who sent His only Son to the cross to turn sinners into saints has a wonderful way of taking offenses and turning them into opportunities for His kingdom.”
“Here’s what he got and here’s what I think was going through Oprah’s head over the next interminable three minutes (the quotes from Kamala are real)…”
“For evangelical Christians, Am I Racist? should serve as a reminder that our institutions have been directly targeted and impacted by anti-racist dogma. Hundreds of pieces could be written (and have been) on the infiltration and proliferation of exactly what Matt Walsh is lampooning in his film. Many of our own leaders and figures have jumped headfirst into anti-racism, promoting our own, specially curated anti-racist representatives, perhaps most well-capsulated by Jemar Tisby.”
“…the Christian religion that bequeathed us our civilization and formed us from the beginning is now disappearing from among us Americans. Without it, we might as well be a tax farm for the global elite, with insular ethnic and religious enclaves across America that sacrifice animals and practice vodou, or support Hamas and Hezbollah, and generally make no effort to become American. We will certainly not be a common people or a nation.”
“If you can’t tell where the world ends and the church begins, you’re not in a church anymore—you’re in a theater. You’re in a circus. You’re witnessing the great Evangelical masquerade, where everyone plays a part but no one seems to care that they’re all headed down the path of destruction.”
“Never in the history of the human species have we been so capable of instant communication yet so disconnected from one another. We can apply pressure to situations from across the country, never interacting with the people who are actually having to deal with an issue, then move on a few days later and forget we ever spoke about it.”
“We thought if we just stayed out of the fray, maybe the storm would pass over us. Well, newsflash: The storm is here, and it’s not passing over. Our pacifism—our desire to “get along”—has allowed these far-left radicals to charge full steam ahead into cultural dominance. They claim to want equality, but it’s a farce—they want control, and they’re getting it. And now, we’re paying the price for decades of silence. What’s wrong with you people?”
“Talk about weird, physically healthy boys and girls are having their genitals and sexual organs destroyed, and Kamala Harris and her Democratic allies in the Senate not only think that’s acceptable but are forcing taxpayers to pay for it.”
