(John Binder – Breitbart) This month, Bud Light partnered with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, a former gay man who now dresses as a woman and has risen to corporate leftist stardom with his viral TikTok videos chronicling his day-to-day “transition” to a woman.
“This month I celebrated my day 365 of womanhood and Bud Light sent me possibly the best gift ever — a can with my face on it,” Mulvaney says in the Bud Light ad. Continue reading
9 Yahweh God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” 11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 And the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave to me from the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 14 And Yahweh God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
Cursed are you more than any of the cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you will go,
And dust you will eat
All the days of your life;
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed;
He shall bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel.” Genesis 3:9-15 (LSB emphasis mine)
Read Matthew 13:24-30 (LSB) and Matthew 13:36-43 (LSB) on the site.
Not too long ago, I had a preacher ask me what a tare was. He knew that I was from Oklahoma and he thought I would know. I am no country boy, but when I was a young man, I worked in a grain elevator. Actually, most wheat farmers I knew complained about a weed, which grew in their fields, they called “Cheat.”… Continue reading
“The more our chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and secretary of defense tour the world, sound off on contemporary strategic issues, or weigh in on domestic politics, the more apprehensive our allies become, wondering how the once-vaunted U.S. Armed Forces have descended into some bizarre woke commissariat.”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) The last few weeks, the world had been writing off the United States as either crazy or irrelevant as it watches America cannibalize itself.
Friends tremble at our sudden decline. Enemies rejoice. Neutrals make the necessary adjustments to join the ascendant non-American side. Continue reading
“How much of an impact did State Voices and its claim of 140 million voter contacts have on the 2022 election? And how much of an impact will its over a thousand partners have in 2024?… Those are inquiries that the IRS does not want to conduct, but they are the burning questions that lie at the core of what it means to have free and fair elections.”
(Daniel Greenfield – Front Page Mag) An estimated 3.5 million people voted in the Georgia Senate runoff election. State Voices, a leftist nonprofit, claimed that it had made 3 million voter contacts for the runoff. Continue reading
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Last week Big Eva figures gathered online to promote the Enneagram in the church. It was previously reported that Tyler Zach was hosting an Enneagram conference and landed Russell Moore among others to appear as speakers and panelists. Evangelical Dark Web has obtained exclusive recordings of the event and the first light we want to shine for the church to see is that the Enneagram is woke or at a minimum an easy tool for woke liberals to wield in the church. Continue reading
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, saying, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 15 He *said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” 20 Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ. Matthew 16:13-20 (LSB)
Genuine Christians, God’s heirs, are those who have believed.
16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 (LSB)
Carefully read this very familiar passage from John Chapter 3. Who is it that does not perish, but has eternal life? It is whoever believes in the Son. Not everyone who attempts to “follow” Jesus believes. Continue reading
“Male and female he created them…” Gen 5:2
“Riley doesn’t allow reality to prevent him from smuggling his nonsense into children’s books. The groomer never do.”
(Ben Bartee – PJ Media) Riley Black is a “trans dinosaur expert” not only in the sense of being a dinosaur expert who is also transgender. He is also an expert, or so his credentials say, on trans dinosaurs.
Here is an excerpt from Riley’s 2019 treatise on “transgender dinosaurs” in 2019, via Nature (emphases added):
Most official forms give you the binary demographic choices of ‘male’ and ‘female’, but I don’t feel comfortable assigning myself to one or the other for my gender…. Continue reading
(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. Continue reading
“We are told every day that every emission warms the planet. That is clearly not the case. We should not mindlessly and recklessly proceed with dangerous and expensive emissions cuts until this paradox is resolved.”
(Elizabeth Elkind – Fox News) A recent memo sent to every Republican member of Congress is urging lawmakers to dismiss the United Nations’ “alarmist report” on climate change.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently called on wealthy nations to move up its net-zero emissions goal from 2050 to 2040…. Continue reading
“The FBI is not supposed to encourage or help people break the law.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) J6 Bombshell! At least 40 undercover informants and undercover officers were involved in the crowds on January 6. They came from other government agencies besides the FBI, DC Metro Police, and DHS. Continue reading
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered and said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” 39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation eagerly seeks for a sign; and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet; 40 for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. Matthew 12:38-41 (LSB)
Today is Good Friday. Passover was a feast instituted by God to be held on Nisan 14 every year. Also, the Jewish day always began at sunset. Therefore, Nisan 14 began at sunset on Thursday and ran until sunset on Friday. At sunset Nisan 15 would begin. The next festival or feast after Passover was Unleavened Bread. This feast was eaten in the afternoon following the Seder, which was the Passover meal. Notice that this feast was held prior to sunset on Nisan 15 so it would still be Nisan 14. Continue reading
“…his program imputes white people with guilt using Critical Race Theory.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Several months ago Evangelical Dark Web performed research on David Anderson because we foresaw that he was an up-and-coming figure in Big Eva. This was due to his signing of the Biologos Statement which encouraged Christians to get jabbed and fight information counter to Dr. Fauci’s guidance…. Continue reading
(Josh Buice – G3) On Good Friday each year, Christians remember the most glorious sacrifice and the most horrific murder that ever occurred in human history. Why do we refer to the Friday after Thanksgiving as “Black Friday” and the Friday before Easter “Good Friday”? Should they be reversed?
It’s the day set aside on the calendar to remember the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus for the sins of his people and the heinous murder of God’s Son. Why would we celebrate that day as a good day?… Continue reading
“It is a peculiar manifestation of the madness of our age that even as a mentally ill individual plots to act upon his mental illness by murdering people, those who report on this fact still treat his mental illness as if it were perfectly normal and even torture the English language in order to accommodate it.”
(Robert Spencer) William Whitworth, a 19-year-old male who claims to be female and goes by the name “Lilly,” has been arrested in Colorado Springs, Colo., after threatening various local schools. Whitworth has been charged with two counts of criminal attempt to commit murder in the first degree, as well as criminal mischief, menacing, and more…. Continue reading
(J.W. Baker) Last month the Uganda Parliament passed a bill criminalizing homosexuality in the African nation. The bill identifies offenses such as “aggravated homosexuality” and the “recruitment, funding, and promotion of same-sex activities” as crimes punishable by life imprisonment and death, depending upon the nature of the transgression.
Speaking last Sunday, the Ugandan President, Yoweri Museveni applauded the bill and signaled that he would sign the legislation. Museveni also said that homosexuality was “a big threat and danger to the procreation of the human race” and called on Africa to take the lead in saving the world from “degeneration and decadence.” Continue reading
“In some cases, victims ended up reporting abuse to priests who were abusive themselves, prosecutors wrote.”
(CBS News) More than 150 Catholic priests and others associated with the Archdiocese of Baltimore sexually abused more than 600 children over the past 80 years, according to a state report released Wednesday that accused church officials of decades of cover-ups.
The report, issued by the Maryland Attorney General’s Office, paints a damning picture of the archdiocese, which is the oldest Roman Catholic diocese in the country and spans much of Maryland…. Continue reading
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) John Piper is one of the most influential pastors in the United States. In recent decades, this influence has been to the detriment to the church, as he has gone woke and is soft on pressing cultural issues. The last time we reported on John Piper was when he peddled the unsafe and ineffective Covid jabs. Yet Piper will take a bold stance against role playing in marital relations. Most recently, John Piper has emerged on the issue of Christian Nationalism to say that it is incompatible with historic Baptist teachings and not worth pursuing. Continue reading

Easter evokes images of decorative baskets filled with all sorts of goodies, cool new clothes, church services, the annual Easter egg hunt, families and friends gathering together to enjoy a sumptuous meal. Doesn’t it seem a bit odd that people will spend an entire day celebrating a make-believe rabbit?
Today when Easter Sunday rolls around a good many Christians spend more time participating in secular events than celebrating the Resurrection of their Savior. Before I move on I should point out that “Easter” is now passé. Wanting to remove the Christian origins of our language, secularists managed to change Resurrection Sunday to Easter Sunday and Easter break to spring break – all in the name of tolerance. Fortunately a large number of believers have caught on to their shenanigans and have gone back to using Resurrection Sunday instead of Easter.
Just as our postmodern culture has secularized Christmas, likewise Easter has been secularized and now we incorporate the Easter Bunny, hunting for colorful eggs and binging on chocolate and jellybeans. There’s nothing wrong with Easter festivities per se — but for Christians, Christ’s triumph over death ought to be the reason for the celebration. What does a big bunny, a basket filled with plastic Easter eggs and decadently delicious goodies have to do with Jesus? Continue reading

49 Remember the word to Your slave,
In which You have made me wait.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction,
That Your word has revived me.
51 The arrogant utterly scoff at me,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your law.
52 I have remembered Your judgments from of old, O Yahweh,
And comfort myself.
53 Burning indignation has seized me because of the wicked,
Who forsake Your law.
54 Your statutes have become my songs
In the house of my sojourning.
55 I remember in the night Your name, O Yahweh,
So I keep Your law.
56 This has become mine,
That I observe Your precepts. Psalms 119:48-56 (LSB)
The doctrinal extremists out there really get under my skin sometimes. It seems they cannot handle the fact that our sovereign, holy, omnipotent, omnipresent, immutable and omniscient God wants to have a personal relationship with those He has saved by His grace. God is sovereign and yet He is gracious. He knows that left to our own abilities we could never come to salvation. He knows that, even if He declares us righteous, we need Him to extend His grace to us continually to sanctify our hearts and draw us to Him. He also reveals Himself to us, speaks to us, and sustains us through the sanctification process that matures us unto Christlikeness. Continue reading
“Biblical teachings assert that those who have been genuinely born again shall not persist in the habitual and deliberate practice of sin, but rather, endeavor to lead lives that are pleasing to God and aligned with His divine will. Individuals who remain entrenched in unrepentant sin have clearly not experienced the life-changing power of God’s grace and forgiveness.”
(The Dissenter) The term “homophobia,” as presently understood by our contemporary society, is a linguistic construct devised by the political and social left to characterize what they describe as an irrational fear, aversion, or discrimination against those who identify as LGBTQ+ on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity….

“[Dems] are working overtime on this strategy, with the objective of helping Trump eclipse other candidates they might have more trouble defeating, enabling him to suck all the air out of the room. They believe that if Trump is the nominee, they can, again, depend on an enormous “hate and fear” voter turnout, which, combined with their bulk-mail ballot fraud strategy, will succeed, as it did in 2020. And in 2024, Trump will be older than Ronald Reagan was when he left office.”
(Mark Alexander – The Patriot Post) You could make this stuff up, but nobody would believe you!
On the same day Donald Trump “surrendered” in New York to face indictment charges filed by Manhattan’s corrupt George Soros-backed district attorney, Alvin Bragg — charges for allegedly paying “hush money” to an “adult film” star, Stephanie Clifford, a.k.a. “Stormy Daniels” — the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Clifford must pay Trump $122,000 in legal fees for a failed defamation case she brought against him.

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) While the world watches deranged Soros-bought DAs and AGs witch hunt for crimes to charge Donald Trump, the world is dumping the dollar. We could one day look like Venezuela with wheelbarrows of worthless cash. It was the Barack Obama dream. He wanted us to look like the rest of the world, especially the Third one.
Weaponizing SWIFT is destroying the dollar, along with our reckless monetary policies. It was predictable…. Continue reading
“[Jesus] did not take a poll of what was popular before he began to teach; instead, he spoke truth that was often unpopular but could penetrate the heart. “I do not receive glory from people,” he said ( John 5:41). Even his opponents could see this: “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone’s opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances” (Matt. 22:16).”
(Edward T. Walsh) It might be encouraging to know that fear of rejection has been a problem for a number of illustrious people throughout history. For example, Moses warned the leaders and judges of Israel about this very thing (Deut. 1:17). He knew that people reverence the opinions of others, show favoritism, and honor some people above others because they fear rejection from those whom they consider important. Continue reading
(Protestia) Two weeks ago, a woman attending James River Church’s faced scrutiny and worldwide skepticism after releasing a video claiming that three of her toes that were previously amputated were miraculously regrown during a healing service Bill Johnson was speaking at. Lead pastor John Lindell co-signed the miracle, recounting, “As the ladies prayed for Krissy over the next 30 minutes, all three toes grew, and by that point, were longer than her pinky toe. Within an hour, nails began to grow on all the toes.” Continue reading
