18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit had been bestowed through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money, 19 saying, “Give this authority to me as well, so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” 20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you supposed you could obtain the gift of God with money! 21 You have no part or portion in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. 22 Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray earnestly to the Lord that, if possible, the intention of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of unrighteousness.” Acts 8:18-23 (LSB)
In these times of the “Compromised Church” with very little knowledge of historical Christianity and what makes up what is truly Orthodox, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised when I’m called a heretic and false teacher for teaching Reformation Theology and then revealing that my view of eschatology is (gasp) not dispensational/pre-millennialism….

“There is no United States of America — at least as it was designed and as we have known it — without natural law. In place of the internal restraints on antisocial behavior provided by widespread religious belief, the Left instead argues — always — for the growth of government to rein in the chaos created by their own encouragement of license. We need only look at our cities to see what this has wrought.”

The famous Atheist apologist Richard Dawkins is correct when he says, “The evangelical Christians have really got it right in seeing evolution as the enemy. Whereas the more sophisticated theologians are quite happy to live with evolution are deluded – I think the evangelicals have got it right in that there really is a deep incompatibility between evolution and Christianity.”
“Apparently, our generation prefers being praised as “virtuous” and “caring.” So it leaves the next generation to be smeared as “cruel” and “unfair” when it is forced to cut federal entitlements and bloated government or face civilizational collapse.”
“This moral compromise does not merely lead individuals astray—it erodes the very foundations of the church, remaking it from a guardian of light and truth in a dark world into a mirror of the world’s own quagmire of sin and despair. The call to holiness, a defining mark of the Christian’s life, is overshadowed by a pursuit of personal happiness and cultural approval, betraying the gospel and the One who called us to follow Him, no matter the cost.”
“What progressives are pitching with the green agenda today is anything but progress, and their prescriptions to maintain political power are sillier and deadlier than ever. But that doesn’t stop young people, being tutored in the modern-day temples that we call universities, from offering their absolute devotion to this green doomsday cult.”
“The Chosen portrays Jesus as teaching bad theology unironically as some sort of banger to promote the show’s theatrical release. This is just the latest issue with an otherwise problematic show.”
“Public safety is visibly spiraling downward: migrants beating cops in Times Square; migrants running prostitution rings; migrants on mopeds robbing pedestrians; migrants shoplifting and stripping retail stores; and now a migrant who recently left New York has been arrested for killing a Georgia nursing student, Laken Riley.”
“A mystery of the universe is why Donald Trump does not make his record the centerpiece of his current campaign. Once again, emotion clouds the situation.”
Attempts to gain political power and enact laws that reflect Biblical values by Christian conservatives like U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson are rhetorically slapped down with the labels of “Political Idolatry” and “Christian Nationalism.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) In an interview with Russian-American computer scientist and podcaster Lex Fridman, Tucker Carlson declared that the 2020 presidential election was “100% stolen” and explained why.
“With Chan’s new ecumenical take on spirituality, one has to wonder, when will he join and unite with other religions, including Islam…”

“The left has already normalized (or is in the process thereof) eating insects instead of meat, the sexual grooming of children, men conquering women’s sports, the medical mutilation of adults and children in service to the lie of gender ideology, polyamory, pedophilia – why would cannibalism be off-limits?”
“Ferguson’s approach embraces the world’s attitude toward this sin, waters it down with language like “brokenness” and “dysphoria,” in an effort to downplay the seriousness of this sin. Instead of being something that we should be turning from and being sanctified out of, it becomes something that we must live with and accept….”
“You would have no idea from reading this story that the alleged murderers in BOTH cases — the killing of Laken Riley and the killing of Mollie Tibbetts — were in the country illegally”
“Unlike most of the liberal media, both secular and faith-based, Politico accurately gives a definition of how Christian Nationalism is manifested in the United States context, as opposed to defining Christian Nationalism in a way that is exclusive to America.”
