The Cost of Discipleship

21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” Matthew 19:21 (LSB) 

The message of salvation that is normally preached or taught in the vast majority of churches these days has been contaminated with Humanism. The focus is on becoming a Christian for some great benefit or reward from God. Masses of people respond to that false gospel as well. The genuine gospel that our Saviour preached during His earthly ministry may have mentioned the benefits of being saved, but He emphasized the cost of becoming His disciple in such a way that it caused many of His hearers to not follow Him anymore….

Open Homo Sex in the Capitol: No One is Scandalized

(Peter Jones – truthXchange) “Democrat Staffer Who Filmed Himself Having Sex in the Capitol Won’t Be Charged.”

So reads the headline reporting a video posted by the above-mentioned staffer which showed for the first time ever a nearly naked man on all fours inside the Capitol office building. The video wasn’t just nude posing either. The male staffer and his boyfriend filmed themselves engaging in homosexual sex inside a meeting room of the Capitol Building. Sen. Ben Cardin, who employed the staffer, simply dropped the issue. Aidan Maese-Czeropski, the staffer in question, was defiant in the aftermath, claiming he was “being attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda.” He did not mention who was attacking him. In fact, he got off scot-free, and was able to make this stark statement of the normality of his sexual non-binary actions. Continue reading

BOMBSHELL: Biden Lied About Hur Bringing Up His Dead Son Beau

“First Lady Jill Biden questioned in a fundraising letter whether Hur was using “our son’s death to score political points,” according to NBC News. Using her own stepson’s death to fundraise is worse than anything Hur didn’t do.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) It was one of the more dramatic moments of Biden’s press conference last week. An angry president responded to the allegation in Robert Hur’s report on Biden’s handling of classified documents that he couldn’t recall, “even within several years when his son Beau died.” Continue reading

Evolutionary biologist says AIDS is likely caused by ‘gay lifestyle,’ not HIV…

“Dr. Bret Weinstein, another scientist, brought the Duesberg Theory back into the spotlight on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and, as you can guess, it stirred up quite a storm. Bret Weinstein is an evolutionary biologist, and he shared with Joe that there’s evidence suggesting the “gay lifestyle” could indeed be what’s behind AIDS, causing yet another meltdown on the left.”

(Revolver) AIDS has played a pivotal role in propelling the LGBTQ movement forward at warp speed, both in terms of financial backing and emotional support. It transformed what was once considered a fringe aspect of gay culture into a mainstream phenomenon, laying the groundwork for the formidable political and social force we see today. AIDS really brought folks like Dr. Fauci into the spotlight as well, where he was hailed as a sort of hero in the battle against this deadly disease…. Continue reading

Unholy Trinity of Woke Churches Sponsor ‘Glitter Ash Wednesday’

(Protestia) The unholy trinity of Jesus-hating denominations recently colluded at Fort Hays State University, putting on a celebration of Ash Wednesday where glitter was mixed in with the ashes to celebrate, “center,” and foster inclusion within the LGBTQ community.

The event was put on by Us4U, a faith-based service organization sponsored by the United Methodist Campus Ministry and supported by the Trinity Lutheran Church of Hays and St. John Lutheran Church of Russell. Continue reading

Finally! The CDC’s slow retreat on COVID guidance shows its ‘experts’ belong in isolation

“Anthony Fauci admitted before Congress that it was utterly lacking in scientific basis (and no shock, given that it derived from a high-schooler’s science project). Oopsie! That’s no consolation to the business he and his cronies helped destroy, or those unable to visit their loved ones in their last, miserable days in hospitals, or any of the other monstrous absurdities public-health fascists inflicted on America.”

(Editorial Board – New Youk Post) The Centers for Disease Control just quietly proposed abandoning the isolation guidelines around COVID — and so proved again that America’s public-health establishment must face a reckoning. Continue reading

Antichrists, discernment, and faithfulness

1 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, 3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. 1 Timothy 4:1-3 (NASB) 

According to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in John 15 the mark of Christian authenticity is abiding or remaining in Him. This is not simply a continual profession of faith, but a remaining faithful to Christ in our orthodox Christian faith…. Continue reading

Deadly Familiarity

“One of the great truths of the gospel is that God became man. God became one of us. But that’s not all to the story. He is also wholly other. If we lose sight of this truth, then we’ll turn Jesus into whatever shape we need him to be.”

(Mike Leake – Barrowed Light) If you read the gospel of Mark in one sitting you’d be shocked by what happens at the beginning of Mark 6.

Think of all that Jesus has accomplished up to this point. He has really become quite the celebrity…. Continue reading

Christian YouTuber Fixes ‘He Gets Us’ Commercial

“Jamie Bambrick shows how it’s not hard to make a compelling advertisement for Jesus.” Watch the video.

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The He Gets Us campaign has been controversial from its very inception and for good reasons. The woke vapid presentations of Jesus generally fail to resonate. One Christian YouTuber decided to fix the minute long commercial from the Super Bowl to make it compelling. His name is Jamie Bambrick, and his channel has just exceeded 6k subs on YouTube as a result of going viral with this parody. Continue reading

Heresy Alert! Steven Furtick Says Whatever God is, ‘You Are Too’

‘God is perfect. God is sinless. God is omnipresent. God is omnipotent. God is omniscient. God is omnibenevolent. God is a million other things that we are not, and any suggestion to the contrary is rank heresy.’

(Protestia) Steven Furtick is the Lead Pastor of Elevation Church, a former Southern Baptist-associated, 25,000-member multisite campus with 17 locations. He is known for having the term “narcegesis” (narcissistic exegesis) named after him based on his inability to exegete scripture in a way that doesn’t make every story revolve around him and you. Continue reading

War? What War?

1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2 And Yahweh said to Satan, “Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand delivered from the fire?” Zechariah 3:1-2 (LSB) 

Earlier this week I was browsing videos on YouTube from sources that I am subscribed to. One of the Pastors I follow is Jack Hibbs who is Pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, Ca. He is very solid.  So, I was surprised when I found another guy I follow post something about Jack. The post was about Jack being invited to be the guest chaplain at the U.S. Congress to open their session with prayer. I opened the video and watched it. Jack had to submit his prayer to Congress for their approval before he could actually physically stand in front of them on the podium and pray. They approved his prayer and he actually did pray it. I was utterly amazed because he held nothing back…. Continue reading

Fmr Hunter Biden Business Partner: Bidens ‘Sold Out’ US to Ukraine, China

“The only reason any of these international business transactions took place — with tens of millions of dollars flowing directly to the Biden family — was because Joe Biden was in high office. The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period.”

(Eric Mac – Newsmax) Tony Bobulinski, former business partner of Hunter Biden, is testifying before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees Tuesday, alleging the Biden family peddled President Joe Biden’s influence to China and Ukraine — all with the “enabler” Joe Biden’s knowledge and blessing.

“It is clear to me that Joe Biden was ‘the brand’ being sold by the Biden family,” Bobulinski said in his opening statement obtained by Newsmax before the closed-door testimony under oath…. Continue reading

Dancing with Dementia

“So here’s the brutal truth. Anyone who would vote for Biden at this point is putting the nation in grave danger. If you don’t want Trump, fine, skip the top presidential line and vote your party preference down the ballot.”

(Bill O’Reilly) From afar, it looks like Joe Biden’s biggest problem is Jill Biden, his 72-year-old wife. It is now beyond any reasonable doubt that the President is in steep cognitive decline, and Jill literally stands by her man, seemingly refusing to acknowledge reality. Continue reading

IHOPKC Blasts Mike Bickle After Multiple Minors Accuse Him of Sexual Abuse: ‘His Predatory And Abusive Actions are Sick’

(Protestia) The International House of Prayer has issued a new apology after more allegations against false prophet and disgraced NAR rockstar Mike Bickle surfaced. IHOPKC released their most conciliatory and seemingly contrite statement yet, describing their founder’s actions as “predatory” and sick” while offering:

“Words cannot express the anger, shock, heartbreak, and sadness we have experienced as we have learned of allegations and testimonies of sexual abuse and manipulation concerning Mike Bickle.” Continue reading

The profile of an apostate

20 And the one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away. 22 And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the one who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Matthew 13:20-22 (LSB)

The Bible very clearly teaches that Christians should examine themselves quite often in order to see what their spiritual condition is. Genuine Christians are not perfect people. Neither are they always full of happiness, in perfect health while having plenty of money in the bank. No, the fact that all believers are called to be humble, poor in spirit, meek, pure in heart and many other things that are growing in their character means that they will spend much of their time in the fires of sanctification. Continue reading

Lakewood Church shooting suspect identified as transgender woman; ‘Free Palestine’ written on gun

(Greg Norman & William La Jeunesse – Fox News) Police in Houston, Texas have identified the shooter who opened fire at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church on Sunday as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, Fox News has confirmed.

Moreno, who has a lengthy criminal record and was born as a man – Jeffrey Escalante – from El Salvador, was killed after off-duty police officers at the church responded to the incident. Continue reading

What Happened To The Asbury Revival?

“That lack of discernment is one of the reasons why many Gen Z professing Christians are deconstructing their faith. That lack of discernment could be why thousands of people travelled hundreds of miles to experience the Asbury revival, though they don’t regularly worship at their local church.”

(Samuel Sey) It’s been a year since the beginning of the Asbury “revival” in Wilmore, Kentucky. Last year, from February 8th to February 24th, up to 70,000 people visited Asbury University’s chapel to experience what they called an “outpouring,” an “awakening,” or a “revival.” Continue reading

Did You Notice What’s Missing in Jill Biden’s Statement on the Hur Report?

“…not once in the pitch does Jill even attempt to dispute the report by saying Joe Biden is sharp or has a great memory. If she did, there’d be no reason not to charge him.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Team Biden’s handling of the Hur report has not gone well. Someone either decided Joe Biden should address the nation in a speech and to answer questions after his bedtime, or failed to convince Biden not to. Experts on both sides of the aisle are panning Biden’s evening speech as not being helpful to his cause, and they’re right. Continue reading

New results from a 15-year long study shows that married people report a higher level of well-being than single people

(Harris Rigby – Not the Bee) Good news for our married audience.

And important news for those jaded young readers who might think marriage is a scam.

The old trope of the unhappy, bitter married couple is nothing more than a myth.

Almost like marriage is a good gift from God, has been practiced from the beginning of humanity, and is the normative means of human flourishing. Continue reading

Democrats Are Not Going to Replace Biden as 2024 Candidate

“The problem with that narrative is that the attack is directed at Mr. Hur, not the substance of the 17 instances of hazy or faulty memory cited by Hur in his report.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) Democrats have closed ranks around Joe Biden following the devastating revelations about his memory and mental acuity in the Hur Report. With no pressure to withdraw and the mechanics of the primaries making it impossible for any other candidate to get on the ballot in most states. only Biden can withdraw from the race. Continue reading

FBI to Sheriffs: Warnings of Imminent Terror Attacks on US Soil

“They told us we need to be prepared to talk to local county election people to be prepared. They want us to lose faith in our government.”

(Mary Dowling) At the National Sheriff’s Association Conference in Washington, D.C, last week, Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones heard warnings from the FBI of imminent terrorist attacks on the U.S.

“It’s not if they are going to attack, it’s just when they are,” Jones said. “There are people already here who have come to this country who hate us and want to kill us.” Continue reading

Are we at the time of end?

1 “Now at that time, Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will stand. And there will be a time of distress such as never happened since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. 2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to reproach and everlasting contempt. Daniel 12:1-2 (LSB) 

God uses things such as the seeker sensitive and Mega Church movements in the visible church in His plan to educate and edify His people pertaining to the real qualities of His Church, made up of only those whose names are written in the Book. Central to this “real Church” is the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is clearly defined in the Word of God. Since its inception at the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, His death, resurrection, ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit in power on the day of Pentecost, the Church has been under attack by our enemy….

God Told Me: The Pentecostalization of Evangelical Theology of Revelation

“No prophecy of Scripture comes from a human source. Rather, “men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit” (v. 21). Peter is saying that we ought to trust the sufficient Word because it is revelation from God’s Spirit that is even more sure than if he spoke to us directly. Trust the sufficient Word. It’s all we need. We do not need supernatural subjective experiences, we do not need the voice of God from Heaven, we do not need a still small voice in our hearts, we do not need visions or dreams or impressions or “nudges from the Holy Spirit”—we have something better than all of that. We have more sure the written Word of God. Scripture is sufficient.”

(Scott Aniol) I am convinced that contemporary Evangelicalism has been Pentecostalized in significant ways that even many non-charismatics don’t recognize. One significant way this reveals itself even among those who would claim to be cessationists is in common evangelical expectations regarding how God speaks to us and how he reveals his will to us. It is very common in modern evangelicalism, for example, to hear Christians talk about how God “spoke” to them, revealing his will in mystical ways outside his Word. Continue reading

Multiple ‘Drag Queens’ in the News This Week For Appalling Sex Crimes Against Children

Drag queen “Annie Christ”

(Debra Heine – American Greatness) The left’s favorite expression of gay pride has been in the news this week for all the wrong reasons. Multiple “Drag queens” and “transgender stars” have been arrested for appalling sex crimes against children.

The stories feature cross-dressing men who allegedly abused children in Oregon, Australia, West Virginia, and Kentucky.

“Drag queen” Eron David Griffin, 42, accused of sexually abusing minors at his part-time home salon business in Salem Oregon: (See photos on the site.) Continue reading
