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)
(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.
(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 
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.
“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?”
“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.”
“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.” 
“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.”
(David Morrill – Protestia) In yet another rebuke to the so-called #SBCToo movement, the United States Department of Justice has reportedly closed a 2022 
“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.”
“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”
(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.
“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…”
“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.”
“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.”

“As the Bride of Christ, we are called to guard the truth with a holy fervor, proclaiming the undiluted Gospel with the unshakeable conviction that comes from knowing it is the very power of God unto salvation. It is only through the unaltered Gospel that we can truly know the fullness of mercy that leads to eternal life.”
“Dallas Jenkins begins answering the Mormon question by explaining that The Chosen is no longer working through Angel Studios, a Mormon-owned company, but declines to go into more detail. Allen Parr seems to be aware of the lawsuits surrounding The Chosen’s strained relationship with its former distributor.”
(Protestia) The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) is asking the IRS to remove the tax-exempt status from Calvary Chapel Chino Hills church after Senior pastor Jack Hibbs seemingly made a political endorsement of former MLB player Steve Garvey to the California Senate from the pulpit, a violation of their 501(c)(3) status. In a letter sent to the IRS they explain:
(Bradley Jaye – Breitbart) Colorado cannot disqualify former President Donald Trump from appearing on the 2024 ballot, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday.
