14 You are My friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would abide, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. John 15:14-19 (LSB) See verses 17-19 on the site.
I have been reading through the book of Acts over the last few weeks. It is very interesting to see the spread of Christianity as the Apostles obediently made disciples wherever they went. This spread was always accompanied by persecution. The hotter the persecution the more encouraged the brethren became…. Continue reading
(Alana Mastrangelo – Breitbart) Four out of five people who undergo transgender-related surgery involving their genitals endure pain in the five years after the procedure, more than half feel pain while having sex, and about one-third are left incontinent, one of the first studies into the side effects discovered.
“These same hyper-charismatic false apostles, like Johnson, already have a false gospel, and for them to team up with Roman Catholics to “evangelize” the world can only add more confusion to the mix. Who is the author of confusion? That should tell you where this movement is coming from.”
“It’s quite stunning. This week’s hearing will back up everything we’ve heard from whistleblowers and everything we’ve seen in documents.”
“More video has surfaced of McLaughlin preaching at a National Association of Evangelicals conference telling people that Christians should look at a sign that contains various Marxist slogans, and instead of throwing them all out, go through them line-by-line and affirm the ones that the Bible affirms. So that’s what I am going to do now.”
Keep John and Patricia in your prayers.
“We literally could have the next terrorist sleeper cell in United States planning a terrorist attack, and we would have no idea.”
(Amy Jo Underwood – The Sentinel) A Defense Department memo from earlier this year covering the “care of service members who identify as transgender” has been leaked to the public, showing a vast array of medical services and special privileges for self-described transgender individuals in the military.
“While the Satanic Temple says they don’t worship Satan, they perform unbaptisms, want permission to perform ritual abortions, and erect statues of Baphomet on government property.”
(Rick Becker – Famine in the Land) The proliferation of contemporary “apostles and prophets” is the result of a narrative that’s been pushed for decades – the restoration of the offices of apostle and prophet to the church. If this were true, then God has failed his church by depriving it of two essential forms of ministry. Furthermore, if God has restored the office of apostle, then contemporary apostles who claim to hold the office should meet the biblical qualifications, if they don’t, they’re self-appointed false apostles.
“God provided for all sexual enjoyment to be fulfilled in marriage as we love our spouses in this good design that he ordained. Our love is not meant for strangers, in the mind, or at the local motel. And this applies to every form of sexual sin that is contrary to God’s will. By God’s grace, the desires of our hearts must be sanctified to love the spouse God has given to us.”
“I could post a list of churches that are hosting Charlie Kirk and TPUSA, but it would be pointless as the list is huge. If you want, you could check out this Google search and see for yourself. The bottom line, churches are compromising the gospel in favor of self-serving politics.”
“Jordan claimed Dehmlow’s testimony further showed that it was an analyst in the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division embedded in FITF who had begun to explain that the laptop was real before being cut off.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Joe Biden is once again facing calls for impeachment following the release of an unclassified FBI document detailing how he and his son Hunter Biden coerced the head of Burisma to pay them a bribe of $5 million each in exchange for pressuring the Ukrainian government to dismiss prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the company for corruption.
“I think it’s fascinating that we have a Democrat, who is running for president and against Joe Biden in the primary, coming to testify about how Joe Biden’s administration, three days into when they took office, were censoring Mr. Kennedy and his opposition to the vaccine and the mandates…”
“In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it- and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage -and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music- this one goes too far….”
“The weight of James 1:6-8 clearly counters the idea that doubt can harmoniously coexist with faith. The picture James paints is clear: true faith is unwavering, complete, not diluted with doubt. Doubt is not the fertile ground from which faith blossoms, but the rocky terrain that hinders its growth….”
“Any country that doesn’t allow a free discussion of the process by which its leaders are elected is not a democracy by definition. A country without free speech is not a democracy. You can’t have a dinner party without dinner. You can’t have a democracy without free speech, period.”
“Trump’s polls show he can win, but Democrats will never let him win. Democrats working Joe Biden’s strings are behind the curtain deciding how best to get rid of Donald Trump. These people are demons.”
(Bill O’Reilly) Beginning in 1959, a TV program called “The Twilight Zone” captured the imagination of millions of Americans. The show opened with co-creator Rod Serling saying this:
“Following on the heels of mind-altering substances flooding our schools and churches are yoga, mindfulness meditation, and channeling. Children are being taught to “go within” and contact their spirit guides. Spiritual formation classes are taught in…mega-churches where earthly bread, yoga and musical ecstasy draped by a limp cross are usual offerings.”
“Carlson’s ouster was read by his audience as a show of the contempt in which the Fox News brass held its viewers. The network paid for it.” 
“Every ancestral spirit. Every spirit that got passed down to you in the womb from your mom or your dad, I command every ancestral spirit that’s been there since the womb, Loose them! There it is. Come out in Jesus’ name!”
