The Chosen Director Responds to Controversy, Suggests PRIDE Attire is ‘Appropriate in a Professional Environment’

Photo: Protestia screenshot

“Dallas Jenkins maintains that he is not running a church or a ministry. Yet he actively sells devotional material. Additionally, he claims that he is a for-profit public company, which is also a lie as public company means publicly traded.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Dallas Jenkins has published a video on The Chosen’s YouTube channel responding to the controversy that arose from The Chosen having a pride flag on set and then subsequently glamorizing it in a behind the scenes video. Predictably, Dallas Jenkins is indignant about the controversy and the issue at play…. Continue reading

Outrage: Children’s Choir Director Responds After Capitol Police Claim They Did Not Stop Kids Singing the National Anthem

(Tyler O’Neil – The Daily Signal) Footage shows a Capitol Police officer directing someone to interrupt a children’s choir singing the national anthem in the U.S. Capitol, yet the police claimed that they did not stop the singing.

The man who conducted the choir that day tells The Daily Signal that the Capitol Police’s claim is an outright lie.

“I was shocked, I was dismayed, I was stunned,” David Rasbach, the founder and director of the Rushingbrook Children’s Choir, told The Daily Signal of the incident, which took place on Friday, May 26. “I couldn’t believe that was happening, that they would stop the national anthem of all songs.” Continue reading

New study shows marijuana use is directly linked to mental health risks in young people

“Of all the people I’ve diagnosed with a psychotic disorder, I can’t think of a single one who wasn’t also positive for cannabis.”

(Harris Rigby – Not the Bee) Well, well, well.

If it isn’t another mainstream story and clear scientific evidence that, in fact, conservatives from decades ago were absolutely correct.

This time, we come to the touchy subject of marijuana use. A new study recently published that shows that smoking pot clearly has negative mental effects and is directly related to all sorts of mental health issues, particularly in young people. Continue reading

Comer wins: FBI relents, agrees to deliver subpoenaed memo alleging Biden bribery to Capitol

This unclassified record contains pages of details that need to be investigated further by the House Oversight Committee.”

(John Solomon – Just the News) Facing a potential contempt of Congress vote, FBI Director Christopher Wray relented and has agreed to bring a subpoenaed document from the Biden family investigation to Capitol Hill for lawmakers to inspect on Monday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced Friday. Continue reading

Why is Calvary Chapel Platforming a Homosexual Activist to Push Politics?

“You can see him on stage at this church, dressed like a woman and talking with a seriously effeminate lisp, as the church congregation laughs and applauds him for blasting Hillary Clinton.”

(The Dissenter) We live in an era where the lines between the Church and the world are increasingly blurred. One might argue that the waters of the sacred have been muddied by the fingers of the secular, tugging insistently on the hem of the holy. One such instance that demands attention is the increasing involvement of Christian congregations, like GodSpeak Calvary Chapel, with organizations such as Turning Point USA. Continue reading

Put on the new man

17 Therefore this I say, and testify in the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 being darkened in their mind, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart. 19 And they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. Ephesians 4:17-19 (LSB) 

The vast majority of professing Christians in the United States and in other countries, whose churches are patterned after American churches, are enslaved to their flesh. Why? The trend that I have witnessed in our churches for at least the last 40 years or so is a de-emphasis of discipleship. Evangelism or outreach has crowded out in-reach and Bible study. Why?… Continue reading

Russell Moore’s Condemnation of Uganda’s Anti-Gay Law is a Trainwreck of Deceit and Stupidity

“To Moore, the “self-evident and unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” (obviously cribbing the U.S. Constitution) includes the right to homosexuality. This would have been a surprise to its drafters.” 

(Protestia) This is a Twitter thread from Paul Biegler, adapted into article form. Read Russell Moore’s full article [on the site] for the context, as Moore makes a horrible case here.

First, he strawmans his opponents as arguing that Leviticus mandates civil penalties for homosexuality, when in fact, they argue that Leviticus allows civil penalties for homosexuality. Continue reading

The U.S. Department of Education is Turning Public Schools into Sodom and Gomorrah

(The Dissenter) If one were to peruse the chronicles of biblical history, one might find unsettling parallels between the accounts of Sodom and Gomorrah and the state of modern America. Cities fraught with vice, idolatry, and abject disregard for God’s law, Sodom and Gomorrah were cautionary warnings of what ensues when a society unreservedly embraces immorality. God’s judgment was swift and unflinching—the cities were reduced to ashes as a divine declaration against sexual sin. Continue reading

Soros’ Son Visited White House At Least 17 Times Since Biden’s Presidency, Records Show

(Brooke Mallory – OAN) Alexander Soros, the son of far-left billionaire George Soros, has continued to have access to the upper echelons of the White House and has regularly taken advantage of his Biden family connections.

According to an analysis of visitor logs obtained by the press, the second-youngest Soros son, who currently serves as the board chair for his father’s Open Society Foundations (OSF) network, has visited the White House at least 17 times since 2021. Continue reading

Is the Sleeping Conservative Dragon Finally Waking Up?

“Conservatives are awakening from their slumber. And they are discovering that they too can boycott, agitate — and roar.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Conservatives and traditionalists are often exasperated at the ongoing woke cultural revolution in their midst.

How can America be turned upside down, as it is, when there is little public support for the things happening around us? Continue reading

‘RIP Fox News’: Harris Faulkner Says Things Are Going to Have to Change at Network

“Many states are mandating it now,” she told viewers of DEI policies. “I mean, here at Fox — other corporations — there will be things they’re gonna have to change because the state of New York requires it.”

(Johnathan Jones – The Western Journal) Fox News host Harris Faulkner drew condemnation from some fans of the network on Wednesday when she said the company will be forced to incorporate the left’s diversity, equity and inclusion agenda into its business model. Continue reading

Actor Who Plays Thaddeus on The Chosen Defends Homosexuality and Pride Flag on Set

“These are the actors and creators of this so-called “Christian” television show. Why are we boycotting Target, Chick-fil-a, and other secular places promoting sexual immorality but giving a pass to The Chosen?”

(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. Continue reading

Dodgers Player Comes Out in Bold Opposition to Team’s Ungodly Promotion of Perversion and Mockery of Christ

(The Dissenter) In the recent turbulence of the Dodgers’ decision to allow a highly controversial LGBTQ group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, to perform at their annual “Pride Night,” a resounding voice of conviction and courage emerged. This voice belonged to Dodgers’ own Blake Treinen, who, in the face of rampant blasphemy and moral decline, stood tall and asserted his faith in the strongest terms.

Read Treinen’s full statement on the site. Continue reading

The Chosen Doubles Down On Pride Flags On Set

Dallas Jenkins once said: “I felt like God was saying that ‘this will be the definitive portrayal of My people and this is what people are going to think of around the world when they think of My people. And I’m not going to let you screw it up.’” And yet Mr. Jenkins managed to screw it up royally.

With that quote in mind, read Ray Fava’s follow up piece where he reveals that Jenkins, who allegedly heard directly from God, has dug himself a hole that he may not be able to crawl out of:

The Chosen published a behind the scenes video showcasing a pride flag on the set of a show depicting Jesus. Unsurprisingly, controversy ensued. Evangelical Dark Web may have been one of the first to cover it, but the Daily Wire would mainstream the story…. Continue reading

God and Country

“The Founders well understood the dangers of imposed theology. But, equally, they knew that the elimination of right and wrong would severely damage this Republic.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Many Americans believe their country is going to hell, and it’s hard to refute that. The internet has changed social mores, our leadership is mediocre at best, corrupt at worst, and personal narcissism is rising fast.

Plus, there’s deep political division among the people. Continue reading

Chick-fil-A Under Fire for Hiring Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Vice-President

“When did Chick-fil-A decide to forsake the eternal truth of the Gospel for the fleeting applause of the cultural elite? When did they trade the ‘narrow gate’ for the broad highway of fashionable social movements?”

(The Dissenter) Chick-fil-A, the once seemingly robust fortress of Christian capitalism, has begun to crumble, and it seems they’ve found a new cornerstone—not in Jesus, but in the wily ideologies of Marxism, feminism, and the LGBTQ+ movement. Their latest faux pas? Hiring a Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion…. Continue reading

‘The Chosen’ Supports Homosexuality

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Chosen has acquired a cult following among many believers. Millions of Evangelicals, Catholics, and Mormons have funded and watched the series. However, The Chosen is not without glaring issues. Evangelical Dark Web has done a series of episodic reviews, generally finding the series to not meet the standards of good television nor a faithful adaptation of Scripture. Yet behind the scenes there are major concerns. The Chosen is funded and distributed through Angel Studios which is a Mormon owned company giving the series a group to cater to in its writing….

Masks offer ‘small’ benefit against COVID, increased CO2 may be tied to stillbirths

“A much longer ongoing review of mask effectiveness against viral transmission, both COVID and influenza, found masks “probably make little to no difference” based on RCTs, the most rigorous form of scientific evidence.”

(Greg Piper – Just the News) The termination of the COVID-19 national emergency has not ended mask mandates in various jurisdictions and settings such as healthcare, even as more peer-reviewed research suggests that face coverings can cause more harm than good. Continue reading

Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ

12 Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself as having laid hold of it yet, but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way; and if in anything you think differently, God will reveal that also to you. 16 However, let us keep walking in step with the same standard to which we have attained. Philippians 3:12-16 (LSB) 

Self-righteousness is a most hurtful thing to come into a body of believers. Not only does it hurt weaker brothers and sisters, keeping them from finding their freedom in Christ, it also keeps those who are in bondage to it from humbling themselves before their Lord. No one in Christ has any business looking down their noses at anyone else, believer or unbeliever. Yes, those with discernment must rebuke and correct, but that is never a license to attack from a motivation of demoralizing or hurting someone else. The motivation must always be from a foundation of humility and love with motivation to cause people to see the truth so they can repent and become restored. Continue reading

Come soon Lord Jesus!

11 I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. Revelation 3:11 (LSB) 

1 This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles, 3 knowing this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” 2 Peter 3:1-4 (LSB) 

It is one thing to say, “Come soon Lord Jesus!” and quite another thing to live as if you mean it. There are even some today who are of the “progressive” mindset that teach we should live this life with our focus on the here and now rather than eternity. Why? This is to create a better world or make this world a better place. Continue reading

Embracing the World

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.15Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven (Matthew 5:14-16 ESV).

Martin Luther declared that a new Christian must withdraw from the world for a season, but upon reaching spiritual maturity he must embrace the world as the theater of redemptive activity. His message was, “Away with the cowards who flee from the real world and cloak their cowardice with piety.” Continue reading

Harvard Researchers Expose Google Targeting & Manipulating The Minds Of Children

“This trillion-dollar tech titan exploits its unparalleled monopoly in the search engine domain to inflate liberal ideologies, stifle conservative voices, and most alarmingly, manipulate the malleable minds of our children.”

(Matt Agorist – The Washington Standard) With the curtain pulled back on the Twitter files this year, the gears of the debate machine have been grinding relentlessly on the topic of censorship and perceived liberal establishment bias within social media behemoths like Twitter and Facebook. And while they’ve undoubtedly earned their place in the critical spotlight, the focus on them has allowed a far more devious predator to lurk largely unchecked in the shadows: Google….
