“As Breitbart News noted earlier Monday, reports have already emerged that the Biden administration is seeking Israeli consultants to help topple Netanyahu’s coalition.”
(Joel B. Pollak – Breitbart) U.S. intelligence agencies are claiming that they “expect” protests to bring down the Israeli government and replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been an obstacle to President Joe Biden’s plans for the Middle East. Continue reading
“To put it simply, French tells Christians not to believe their own eyes and ears, and especially not to harken to the angry and vitriolic State of the Union speech a few days ago where Biden recommitted his…abortion policies to restore abortion up to birth across the land.”
(Protestia) David French, who we like to unaffectionately call ‘The State’s Fool”, is a self-proclaimed “conservative” Christian commentator who can always be counted on to give the worst take possible on any situation, including the whim of whatever demon is whispering into his ear at any given moment. Continue reading
“The question that I continue to see popping up around the Shepherd’s Conference and other conferences is “why is John Piper even there?” It is a good question, indeed. It’s like Tim Keller—he is elevated to the status of “great thinker” and “superb theologian” when, in reality, so much of what they say is reduced to mere sophistry and casuistry.”
(The Dissenter) You may remember last year when The Dissenter published an article denouncing the deeply erotic and nearly pornographic nature in which a TGC author, Joshua Butler, described Christ’s relationship to the Church…. Continue reading
Watch the videos.
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) As the liberal media tries desperately to push the narrative that Joe Biden’s 2024 “fiery” State of the Union address was proof he’s energetic and capable of handling the presidency, evidence continues to support the theory he was medicated for the speech.
PJ Media previously reported that an expert who watched the speech said Biden appeared to be under the influence of “Adderall or an amphetamine.” Continue reading
18 Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling. (Proverbs 16:18 NASB)
At the root of hypocrisy is, of course, pride. Pride is the antithesis of humility, which is exemplified for us by Paul’s attitude to the Ephesian church in the following passage:
8 To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things; 10 so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him. 13 Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, for they are your glory. (Ephesians 3:8-13 NASB)
10 But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance, 11 persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra. What persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me! 12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
13 But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3:10-13 (LSB)
Christians who live in total obedience to their Lord will be persecuted. So, what does that say about “Christians” who live at peace with the world around them? The truth of the matter is this; the reason “Christians” are not persecuted in the US like they are in other countries is that very few of them are walking in the level of obedience to their Lord that would draw attention to them from those who hate the real Jesus and the Word of God….

(Mollie Hemingway – The Federalist) Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s January 6 Committee suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital, a previously hidden transcript obtained by The Federalist shows.
Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now. Continue reading
(Protestia) Justin Giboney is the founder of the AND Campaign, a wishy-washy organization that seeks to strike a middle ground between the democrats and republicans by always leaning toward the former, as well as a prominent The Gospel Coalition (TGC) contributor.
We last wrote about him after he insisted that a rejection of redemptive social justice is a rejection of orthodoxy and when he later claimed that all white Christian churches owe racial reparations, even new ones who weren’t directly involved with it or who have no history with it. Continue reading
3 Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you exhorting that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints. 4 For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Jude 1:3-4 (LSB)
Carefully read the passage above my brethren. The writer of the Epistle of Jude is the brother of James, the well-known leader of the Jerusalem church (Acts 12:17; 15:13; 21;18; Galatians 2:9) and, therefore, the half-brother of our Lord Jesus Christ…. Continue reading
Schaller and Waldman waste no time in the book identifying “rural” and “urban” as the defining major divide in this country, and painting a picture of paranoid, bitter, enraged, Trump-deluded, working class country music fans as existential Enemies of the State.
(Mark Tapson – Front Page) As this critical 2024 presidential election draws closer, the panicked left finds themselves without a candidate even remotely capable of defeating Donald Trump – an inexorable, MAGA juggernaut that the Democrat Party cannot seem to stop no matter how many trumped-up (pun intended) lawsuits and investigations they throw in his path to a second Presidency. Continue reading
“Democrats don’t care about your safety!” the House Judiciary GOP posted on X shortly after the vote. “Will @chuckschumer allow a vote on the Laken Riley Act in the Senate? Would @JoeBiden veto it?”
(Debra Heine – American Greatness) The vast majority of House Democrats on Thursday voted against the Laken Riley Act, a bill that requires federal immigration authorities to arrest and deport illegal immigrants charged with local theft or burglary. The act passed by a 251-170 vote, with only 37 Democrats joining Republicans to advance the bill. Continue reading
“Empathizing with Bickle’s victims and those affected by his wicked wandering, they lament that “this is a spiritual tragedy of international proportions, affecting millions of believers worldwide and bringing great dishonor to the name of Jesus as well as a disgrace to the reputation of the Spirit,” rendering their final judgment.”
(Protestia) Eight charismatic heavy hitters, led by Michael Brown, have issued a joint statement against Mike Bickle and IHOPKC, declaring him permanently disqualified from ministry and describing his organization as having ‘cult-like tendencies’: vindicating [discernment ministries] again. Continue reading
“Then, in a huge gaffe, Biden mispronounced Laken Riley’s name, calling her “Lincoln Riley” and acknowledging an illegal immigrant killed her. He added, “How many thousands of people are being killed by illegals?” Great question, Joe. Then he went on a weird rant about human smuggling and asserted that fewer people would pay coyotes if waited for six weeks for a hearing rather than six months.”
(Stacey Lennox – PJ Media) Joe Biden has always had a casual relationship with the truth. Just ask any Gold Star parent who has had to listen to him lie about his son Beau dying in Iraq. During Thursday’s State of the Union address, Biden fully displayed his fabulist tendencies. His assessment of the administration’s accomplishments and his impact was not anchored in reality. Continue reading
“On abortion, [Democrats] take the extreme position that it should be allowed up until the moment of birth, then denounce Republican-led states that impose restrictions that are the norm across the Western world. On transgenderism, they insist children can consent to genital mutilation and sterilization, then condemn modest efforts to ban or limit these practices as child abuse. On immigration, they throw open the southern border and let 10 million illegal immigrants flood into the country, then attack anyone who suggests we have a crisis at the border and need to secure it.”
(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) Hot on the heels of a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling on Monday that states have “no power” to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot, Democrats and their lackeys in the corporate press denounced the court for supposedly meddling or interfering in the election. Continue reading
(David Morrill – Protestia) In yet another rebuke to the so-called #SBCToo movement, the United States Department of Justice has reportedly closed a 2022 probe into Southern Baptist Convention leaders’ criminal responsibility for mishandling abuse allegations. The investigation resulted in no charges.
As reported by the Tennessean, the DOJ opened up the investigation in the wake of a Guidepost Solutions investigation commissioned by 2021’s Sex Abuse Task Force and the Guidepost report published prior to the 2022 Annual Meeting…. Continue reading
“It is too seldom noted that every single man arguing for the removal of single-sex spaces is arguing for his own right to enter those spaces. I know from experience that they feign outrage when this point is put to them, gibbering that they’re just being good, virtuous progressives who’re standing up for trans women, that they personally won’t be availing themselves of the new opportunities afforded them.”
(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) Delusional leftists believe that, with a wave of their wands, they can magically become members of the opposite sex — with a right to use whichever locker room they like. “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling called out just how such policies exponentially increase the opportunity for male sexual predators to prey on girls and women. Continue reading
“Leviticus warns of the ultimate degradation of moral fiber, illustrating the extreme measures to which God is willing to go in order to cleanse His people of their sinfulness. “You shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.” —Leviticus 26:29”
(The Dissenter) All throughout the History of the Church, the Bride of Christ, has stood a harlot who masquerades as the elect but lures people into the depths of darkness with seductive words and practices…. Continue reading
4 You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity toward God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world sets himself as an enemy of God. James 4:4 (LSB)
Compromise is a term the world system likes. In fact, the world system as we know it in our time runs on rails greased by compromise. Even though the U.S. Constitution protects the right of free speech to its citizens, the political correctness movement is doing all it can to squelch or smother the expression of “opinion” that is contrary to what it deems as inoffensive. It appears that the right of the easily offended is more protected than the right of those who speak the truth and live by it…. Continue reading
(Grant Haun – The Sentinel) The Biden administration was barred on Monday from forcing nonprofit and for-profit Christian healthcare providers to pay for purported “gender transition” surgeries and hormones.
Christian Employers Alliance, represented by attorneys at the Alliance Defending Freedom, had asked the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota to stop the Biden administration from enforcing two rules that prevent Christian companies from discriminating over the “gender identity” of patients and employees…. Continue reading
“When asked about the cost and how the He Gets Us Campaign only focuses on the humanity of Christ and nothing else, Stetzer explains that the campaign is “pre-evangelism.” He emphasizes that they exist only to start a conversation about who Jesus is…”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The He Gets Us Campaign spent millions of dollars on woke Super Bowl ads that essentially paint Christians as the bad guys. The frivolity of this expenditure was made even more devastating when a Christian YouTuber fixed the commercial they ran to make a compelling gospel narrative where none could be found in any of the He Gets Us commercials. Continue reading
“A community with this moral ecology would be valuable to anyone. A logical place to create one would be the church. But I think it would be very difficult for evangelical churches to create this culture when it comes to vice. They struggle with anything they can’t describe as objectively sinful or linked to some Biblical proof text. Porn is obviously wrong. But is it a sin to buy a lottery ticket or get a tattoo? I’d say no.”
(Aaron Renn) In his 1987 novel The Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe wrote, “If you want to live in New York, you’ve got to insulate, insulate, insulate.” Continue reading
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 (LSB)
While Joel and Victoria Osteen believe that our Lord’s command to let your light shine before others is to prosper and show everyone how God is blessing you, this is not what He was talking about in the passage above at all…. Continue reading
“Despite all of this, two of the nation’s top Evangelical liberal figureheads, Russell Moore and David French, are even further left than these far-left progressive activists on the Supreme Court.”
(The Dissenter) The appointment of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the United States Supreme Court has cast a long shadow over the principles of constitutional fidelity and judicial restraint. Her ascent to the bench, celebrated by progressives, is an unmitigated testament to the far-left’s grip on the levers of power, where ideology most often trumps impartiality…. Continue reading

There are a host of people on this planet who proclaim loud and proud “I’m a Christian,” and they believe they’re saved from the wrath of God because they profess a belief in His Son. What these people fail to understand is that the only Jesus who saves sinners from hell is the Son of God, who condescended to leave heaven and become a man for ONE purpose, and ONE purpose only: The Son of God came to Earth to reconcile sinful man to the Father through the Son, Jesus Christ. “All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.” (2 Corinthians 5:18–19).
There is only ONE person who can save sinners from hell and that Person is not the Jesus of the progressive movement. Nor is he the Jesus of the cults. “All cults operate on better or hidden knowledge, according to them, and this is what the early church apostles battled in their days,” warns Chris Quintana on his Facebook page. “There can be no greater cause or truth for which we must be careful to know completely as this one. There were Gnostics in John’s day and they walk among us today, teaching a vast assortment of unbiblical doctrines and making something of Jesus in His actions or person that are incorrect, some of which will lead a person following them to an eternity separated from the One they claim to serve.” Continue reading
13 Who has encompassed the Spirit of Yahweh,
Or as His counselor has informed Him? Isaiah 40:13 (LSB)
When we observe Christian leaders operate according to the world’s standards and methods with pastors taking on roles other than shepherd of the sheep then responding to righteous criticism with further deception, what we are actually witnessing are professing Christians not walking within the wisdom that is available to all true believers via the Mind of Christ. This same situation is seen in all who have been deceived by and drawn into the “Innovation Cult” as well…. Continue reading
