“[Biblical counseling] is a partnership between people who are seeking God’s wisdom—a wisdom that goes to the heart of the matter. It is a wisdom that can penetrate a person’s inmost being (Hebrews 4:12).”
(Edward T. Welch) Biblical counseling is a hybrid of discipleship and biblical friendship. Its occasion is when life seems painful, confusing, or unmanageable, and we turn to the Spirit and the Word for help. This anchors biblical counseling in the ancient tradition of pastoral care, which has now been dispersed to all God’s people (Ephesians 4:11–13). Biblical counseling is not a trademarked school of thought. Instead, it rests in the public domain and grows as we all bring Scripture to the difficult details of life in a way that honors God and is exactly what our souls need. Continue reading
“Secretary Kennedy said sugar is more addictive than crack. It’s poison! He said when he was a kid, a doctor saw one diabetic child in his career, today it is one out of every three children. It’s existential, giving us a diabetes crisis.”
(Bob Price – Breitbart) The Department of Justice filed multiple federal charges against 27 members of the hyperviolent Tren de Aragua Venezuelan gang on Monday. The charges include Racketeering, Narcotics and Sex Trafficking, Robbery, and Firearms offenses. DOJ officials say this marks the first time RICO charges have been filed against Tren de Aragua gang members.

(Protestia) Christianity Today has issued a correction and apology for publishing an article arguing that Jesus wasn’t nailed to the cross, with the author saying that he failed to consider Jesus’ interactions with Thomas in 
(Rebecca Downs – Townhall) Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has been talking quite a bit about “Maryland man,” a deported illegal immigrant whose real name is Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. The Trump administration has provided evidence that Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13, 
The Potter’s House is led by infamous Modalist TD Jakes, who has gone on record saying he doesn’t believe that Jesus is the second person of the Trinity but rather is just a “manifestation” of God.
“…this feels like a replay of the George Floyd case. Just as they did then, Democrats are strategically ignoring inconvenient truths to shape a narrative that creates outrage and energizes their voters. With Floyd, they chose to ignore the medical examiner’s findings that Floyd did not die from asphyxiation, as they claimed. Now, with Abrego Garcia, they gloss over his violent history, focusing instead on emotional appeals about the cruelty of deportation, all while conveniently ignoring the due process he received.”
“Don’t let the charming tone and disarming smile fool you. Craig Groeschel is not a faithful minister of the gospel. He’s a wolf dressed in khakis and charisma, and his influence is as corrosive as it is colossal.”
10 For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse, for it is written, “CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO DO THEM.” 11 Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident, for “THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. Galatians 3:10-11 (LSB) 
“The problem with all of this is that the truth is plain; therefore, scripture can speak for itself. We don’t need people like García to play fast and loose with biblical truth, and we don’t need progressive outlets like Christianity Today to promote those views.”
“Why is the Left literally hell-bent on asserting that male and female are false, oppressive social constructions, that something called gender is on an infinite spectrum, that masculinity and femininity are so fluid as to be meaningless? Because the most crucial front of the neo-Marxist agenda is the abolition of the family, as Karl Marx himself explicitly called for. It is necessary to eradicate the distinction between male and female in order to dissolve the bonds between mother and father, sister and brother, wife and husband, and pave the way for a collectivist utopia ruled by the State.”
“He peddled a gospel that cannot save.
He merged Christianity with ideologies that hate Christ.
He confused grace with permissiveness.
He hugged wolves and let the sheep wander. And he did it all with a grin. And this is all an understatement. The stakes here aren’t just doctrinal—they’re eternal. Francis wasn’t just a bad pope. He was a pied piper in white robes, whistling his way down the broad road and dragging millions behind him.”
“IW #11 described this closeness as inappropriate, unprofessional, and unethical, adding, “If it happened in a church in front of congregants, they would be horrified. No man would let a preacher treat his eighteen-year-old the way Mike treated me and other young women with whom he cultivated this type of relationship.”
(Scott Powell – The Patriot Post) From the beginning of recorded history, people have turned to religion as a way to find refuge, solace, and meaning. Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and most other religions point to their own prophets and teachers, but among those world religions, only Christianity has a founder who professed to be the Messiah — the Son of God. Easter is the historical account and conclusive evidence of that Messiah.
(Protestia) President Donald Trump invited prominent heretic and supporter Kenneth Copeland to be his guest at a ‘special Easter dinner’ at the White House over the weekend, with Copeland’s social media team sharing the news on Facebook:
“The administration is expected to return to the Supreme Court quickly in an effort to persuade the justices to lift their temporary order.”
“The founding fathers would be rolling in their graves. But perhaps this revelation is exactly what America needs right now – a wake-up call about what happens when we let power-hungry bureaucrats operate in the shadows, far from public scrutiny and accountability.”
“This is the logical conclusion of a movement that has abandoned biblical discernment. The charismatic movement doesn’t have a Todd White problem. It has a fundamental theological cancer that produces Todd Whites systematically. Guys like Winger will try to excise individual bad actors without addressing the underlying doctrinal rot.”
(R.C. Sproul) How is the resurrection of Christ linked to the idea of justification in the New Testament? To answer this question, we must first explore the use and meaning of the term justification in the New Testament. Confusion about this has provoked some of the fiercest controversies in the history of the church. The Protestant Reformation itself was fought over the issue of justification. In all its complications, the unreconciled and unreconcilable difference in the debate came down to the question of whether our justification before God is grounded in the infusion of Christ’s righteousness into us, by which we become inherently righteous, or in the imputation, or reckoning, of Christ’s righteousness to us while we are still sinners. The difference between these views makes all the difference in our understanding of the Gospel and of how we are saved. 
“The Trump administration isn’t just fighting back against one bad ruling; it’s defending the fundamental separation of powers. This appeal systematically addresses every aspect of Boasberg’s flawed and blatantly partisan reasoning while simultaneously highlighting the urgent national security implications of these deportation flights.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Yesterday, Evangelical Dark Web reported on Grace DC, a multicampus megachurch, 
“…Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien, MS-13 gang member, and foreign terrorist who was deported back to his home country. And when Kilmar Abrego Garcia was originally arrested, he was wearing a sweatshirt with rolls of money covering the ears, mouth, and eyes of presidents on various currency denominations. This is a known MS-13 gang symbol of “Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil.” Abrego Garcia was also arrested with two other well-known members of the vicious MS-13 gang, and two separate judges found that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13, and that finding has never been disputed.”
“JD Greear, Matt Hall, Ligon Duncan, Mark Dever, Russell Moore—the TGC-aligned all-star team of third-way theologians—have made careers out of dancing delicately on the tightrope of moral equivalence. They’ve spent more ink defending Democrats than opposing drag queen story hour. To them, voting blue was just a matter of “conscience.” Conscience, that is, unmoored from Scripture, tradition, reason, or reality.”
