Joanna Gaines Is Super LGBTQ Affirming, Praises Gay ‘Throuple’ Anouncement?

“In this post he reveals “I’m in love with a man who is so good. My life is so good, and I am so thankful. No more hate.” This man became the third partner in the couple’s relationship, with the three forming a ‘throuple’ to raise the children together.”

(Protestia) Professing Christian couple and TV personalities Chip and Joanna Gaines, known for their HGTV show ‘Fixer Upper’ and the Magnolia brand, are facing criticism for their decision to prominently feature a same-sex couple in their new series, Back to the Frontier. While this is bad enough, a deep dive into her social media history paints an even more disturbing picture. Continue reading

A Wake-Up Call for Late Night

“Eighty million Americans voted for the President. Few of them can stomach Steve.  Ideological zealotry at midnight can be tedious. The all-time king of late night, Johnny Carson, understood that.  Old Johnny got his zingers in, but he rarely tried to demean anyone.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Stephen Colbert has been vaporized, cancelled by CBS.  Donald Trump is celebrating.  Liberal Hollywood is outraged!  Regular folks don’t care.

Goodnight, everybody. Continue reading

The Biden Admin Stole Your Data to Rig Elections and Censor Speech

“If this data weaponization is left unchecked, it will not be limited to Democrats or the Biden administration. History has shown that the erosion of freedoms for one group inevitably paves the way for broader abuses.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Jason Chaffetz has delivered a devastating exposé that should terrify every American who values his or her constitutional rights. Writing in the New York Post, the former House Oversight Committee chairman pulls back the curtain on what may be the most comprehensive assault on American democracy we’ve witnessed in our lifetime—and it’s happening with our own tax dollars. Continue reading

Christian faith and hope

1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we boast in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2 (LSB) 

What is the difference between faith and hope? Are they the same thing? They are not the same but, so-to-speak, they are two sides of the same coin. If I want my old college to win in football against our biggest rival that is hope. On the other hand, if I believe it will happen then it is faith. With this faith, my hope is enhanced. It becomes active. On the other hand, if I have little faith that it will happen then my hope becomes simply wishful thinking. What about our faith through which we are saved by grace? Is this faith simply working up enough belief so that our hope becomes strong, or is there more to it than that? Continue reading

We Now Have the Smoking Gun Proving Biden House Pressured DOJ To Target Parents

“The Garland memo was never about public safety—no credible, actionable threat justified the mobilization of the FBI against parents attending school board meetings. It was about intimidation, about making an example of ordinary Americans who dared challenge the ideological orthodoxy being forced on their children.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The revelations unveiled by America First Legal mark a seismic moment in the ongoing debate over the weaponization of the Department of Justice under the Biden administration. For years, concerned parents who spoke up at school board meetings found themselves caught in the crosshairs of a federal government wielding its power not to protect free speech, but to stifle dissent….

GOP Erupts After Gabbard Exposes Obama Admin’s ‘Treasonous’ Intel Plot Framing Trump: ‘Makes Watergate Look Like Amateur Hour’

“Joe Biden and Barack Obama knew about it. Hillary Clinton fabricated it. The FBI orchestrated it. And the mainstream media sold it. Trump-Russia collusion was all a made-up HOAX. We NEED accountability.”

(Joshua Klein – Breitbart) Republican lawmakers delivered a thunderous response following Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s explosive declassification of documents proving the Obama administration deliberately manufactured intelligence to create the false Trump-Russia collusion narrative, with revelations that expose what one Republican described as a disinformation campaign against the American people that “makes Watergate look like amateur hour.” Continue reading

Jesus Christ is God

14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.'” (Exodus 3:14 NASB)

In our look at the Bible as the living Word of God and His communication to His people, we understand that it is not just a collection of writings or simply a history. No, the Holy Spirit not only indwells Christians he also indwells Sacred Scripture. When believers read and study the Word of God, The Holy Spirit works through it to accomplish spiritual, eternal work within them. God communicates with His people primarily through His Word. One of the main goals in this is His revelation of Himself to those who love Him. Continue reading

Dershowitz: Trump Isn’t Hiding the Epstein Creeps; These Two People Are

Watch the videos.

(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) Alan Dershowitz, a renowned constitutional lawyer and former counsel for Jeffrey Epstein, who has been a thorn in the side of the party he votes for when it comes to all things Trump, is spilling his guts about Epstein. So let’s dig through the entrails and see what he is talking about.

FACT-O-RAMA! I spend much of my time rubbing elbows with MAGAheads at The America First Warehouse, the most patriotic venue in the galaxy. Sure, a lot of us are disappointed that Team Trump hasn’t released Epstein’s “list,” but we as a team are not “fractured” or “divided” as the Operation Mockingbird media is claiming. Continue reading

In a Chaotic Time, The Strength of MacArthur Inspired Us to be Unshaken

“We don’t need novel strategies when it comes to ministry. We just need to get back to the basics. We need to get back to the Bible. Defending truth in the public square is loving your neighbor. Warning against lies that destroy souls is gospel work. The idea that cultural confrontation and gospel proclamation are mutually exclusive is itself a modern invention.”

(J. Chase Davis – American Reformer) To me, John MacArthur was everything I didn’t want to be. To be frank, I found him unbearable. I was a young church planter. I wanted to reach the city and break bread with sinners. The goal was to be able to articulate the gospel in understandable terms to a secular audience without offending them. But this didn’t stay at the level of ideas. It was a lifestyle. While no God-fearing minister would have admitted it, the goal was to fit in and be “cool.”… Continue reading

AAP claims doctors don’t profit from vaxing kids. Receipts says otherwise…

“Whether the cash came directly from the feds or flowed through Medicaid, insurance plans, or private networks, the result was the same: doctors got paid to push vaccines, and that fact destroys the narrative the AAP is so desperately clinging to.”

(Revolver) While the media and medical establishment scramble to cover for each other, the truth keeps leaking out, and as you can imagine, it’s not pretty. This week, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) took to X to slam RFK Jr. for saying what a lot of us already knew: pediatricians made money, real, big money, off the COVID vaccine push, especially on kids. Continue reading

Donald Trump Calls to Release ‘All Pertinent Grand Jury Testimony’ in Jeffrey Epstein Case

(Paul Bois – Breitbart) President Donald Trump called to release “all pertinent grand jury testimony” relating to the Jeffrey Epstein case in the wake of increased scrutiny over the convicted sex offender’s dealings with high-profile public figures.

Writing on his TruthSocial account, the president called the Epstein controversy a “scam” perpetuated by Democrats.

“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by Democrats, should end, right now!” he wrote. Continue reading

An Epidemic of Mal-Parenting

Mr. Williams has made some excellent suggestions; however, he neglected to include Bible reading and taking children to church regularly. It’s easy to see why he excluded them.  

(Armstrong Williams – The Patriot Post) The nation is afflicted with an epidemic of mal-parenting. How do we know? The persistence of shocking levels of juvenile delinquency and crime. The posterchild case is Ethan Crumbley, guilty of murdering four students at Oxford High School in southeastern Michigan in 2021 and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Continue reading

The Epstein List and the Certainty of Secret Sins Revealed

“Those who live long lives of luxury and wealth, hiding their crimes and covering their sins will in a moment be destroyed. The terrors of divine wrath will sneak up on them, and they will find themselves suffering under eternal torment in the lake of fire, all of their wicked deeds having been made known to all. Everything they thought they had shrouded in impenetrable darkness will be revealed by the light of God’s holy judgment.”

(Robb Brunansky – The Cripplegate) People across the political spectrum were outraged this week when President Donald Trump dismissed the importance of the Epstein List. During his campaign, President Trump said, “Yeah, I’d do the Epstein thing. I’d have no problem with it.” Many people voted for President Trump, at least in part, because he promised to release the list. Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed on Fox News that she was in possession of the Epstein List and was reviewing it. However, this past week when a reporter asked Ms. Bondi about the list, Mr. Trump intervened, shaming the reporter for still being concerned about who might have been Jeffrey Epstein’s “clients.”…, Continue reading

Epstein updated: Loomer Makes President Trump an offer he shouldn’t refuse…

(Revolver) The Epstein files have ripped open a deep and growing divide inside the MAGA movement. But this isn’t just about some scumbag rich guy and his perverse island crimes. This is about justice. It’s about whether or not we’re really going to hold the elite class accountable or let them, yet again, walk away totally unscathed. And even more than that, it’s also about whether President Trump is truly surrounded by the right people for the job ahead.

As a result of the “Epstein divide,” there are now two very distinct camps inside MAGA. One side is demanding total transparency on Epstein and his grotesque network of coconspirators, and they’re not letting go. They want names, timelines, and prosecutions. You can’t blame them, right?

An Open Letter to Chip and Joanna Gaines

“What you’re currently experiencing as a storm of conservative indignation is actually a crowd of Christians pounding on your front and back doors, which I grant may feel aggressive, except for the minor detail that we’re just out here trying to let you know that your roof is on fire.”

By Lindsay Whitlow – Clear Truth Media

Dear Chip and Jo,

You don’t remember, but we first met in 2017. I was 24 years old, a new wife and an even newer mom. Our daughter, Reagan, was born just 10 months after Steven’s and my wedding. For the first time since adulthood, I wasn’t going to work every day. My world had become very small. I’ve heard women fondly reference their “postpartum show,” the television series that they marathoned during their first weeks with a new baby. Mine was Fixer Upper. Continue reading

The Open Door

24 And when they passed through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia. 25 And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 And from there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work that they had fulfilled. 27 And when they had arrived and gathered the church together, they began to report all things that God had done with them and how He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they spent not a little time with the disciples. Acts 14:24-28 (LSB) 

Not all of the letters to the churches from our Lord in the book of Revelation were as harsh as the one to Laodicea. In his letter to the church in Philadelphia he commended their faith and good works. In that letter He made one marvelous statement (v8) that we will be the focus of this post. Continue reading

Melania’s Bracelet

(Sarah Anderson – PJ Media) On Friday, President Donald Trump flew down to Texas to visit locals and officials who have been impacted by the devastating flooding in the state, and he brought along his biggest morale booster: Melania. If you watched any of the coverage, you may have noticed that the first lady was a welcome sight to the communities whose lives have been turned upside down over the last couple of weeks.

But then again, that’s always the case, isn’t it? Despite what the legacy media claims, Mrs. Trump often accompanies her husband on these field trips to meet people whose lives have been touched by disasters, and also, despite what the legacy media claims, she’s warm and caring and leaves her mark on everyone she meets….

Disgraced NBC Equates GOP Digital Signature and Biden Autopen in Fake News Blunder

“The most fascinating part of this is that the NBC News story is FAKE NEWS. Here’s the difference between a digital signature and an autopen signature, and it is all the difference…”

(John Nolte – Breitbart) Far-left NBC News thought it had a pretty sweet gotcha on its hands after its “bombshell” discovery that a leading Republican used a digital signature.

In other words… This is today’s reminder that we are blessed by the glaring ignorance, outright stupidity, and desperation of our enemies. Continue reading

‘Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant’: Pastor John MacArthur Enters Glory

(David Morrill) John Fullerton MacArthur Jr. (1939–2025) — pastor, teacher, author, and a stalwart defender of biblical truth — has entered the presence of his Lord and Savior at 6:17pm PT on July 14th, 2025 after a lifetime of faithful ministry. With profound sorrow yet deeper gratitude, we at Protestia mourn the earthly loss of a man whose legacy towers across the landscape not merely of conservative, reformed evangelicalism, but the universal church as a whole.

MacArthur served as the pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California for over 50 years, beginning in 1969. His long and faithful expositional ministry through every book of the Bible became a model of verse-by-verse preaching, setting a standard for generations of pastors. Under his leadership, Grace Church was not merely a local congregation but a beacon of doctrinal stability. Continue reading

If we are bearing spiritual fruit in any way, we belong to Jesus

1 For this freedom, Christ freed us, therefore, stand fast, and be not held again by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1 translated from the NA28 Greek text)

In Galatians 5:1 (above), the reference to the freedom for which Christ freed us refers to Paul’s arguments from Galatians 4. Never forget the purpose of this letter to the Galatian churches. They were being attacked by “Judiazers” who were attempting to get these Gentile believers to look to keeping the Jewish ceremonial law and regulations because they were saying the atonement bought for them through Christ’s blood was not sufficient for their justification…. Continue reading

We Know Who Controlled the Biden Autopen…and This Scandal Just Got Worse

“The New York Times had a lengthy piece about this scandal after the National Archives turned over thousands of emails relating to the pardons for review by the DOJ. It seems that the pardons for the January 6th Committee and Anthony Fauci might not be binding. Also, how the Biden White House issued pardons is absolutely crazy…”

(Matt Vespa – Townhall) Justice Department Official Ed Martin has been investigating the pardons issued by Joe Biden. They might not have been legal. The autopen has been a controversial aspect of the White House; some argue that it’s unconstitutional…. Continue reading

Trump Was Saved to Save Our Country

“The miracle in Butler lit a fire that hasn’t gone out. It changed the tone of his presidency and the trajectory of the movement behind him. When Americans voted in November, they didn’t just elect a president—they sent a message. That they were done being bullied by a regime that trades in fear. That they chose secure borders over chaos, defending police over defunding them, protecting children instead of butchering them, and truth over the manufactured lies of the press.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) One year ago in Butler, Pennsylvania, America came within inches of catastrophe. A bullet meant for Donald Trump whizzed past his head, grazing his ear thanks to a sudden turn of his head, in a near-miss that could have changed history. Continue reading

Pastor John MacArthur Contracts Pneumonia, Nearing End of Earthly Life at 86

(ChurchLeaders) It was announced on Sunday, July 13, that John MacArthur, 86, pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church (GCC) in Sun Valley, California, has contracted pneumonia and is expected to be in the presence of Jesus soon.

MacArthur celebrated 56 years as GCC’s pastor-teacher in February, but due to his health, he was unable to preach more than half of 2024 and all of 2025 so far.

“You need to know that this week, Pastor John contracted pneumonia. He was admitted in a hospital, and may be in the presence of the Lord soon.” Continue reading
