“The concept of Mary as a distributor of grace or an intercessor with Christ finds no footing anywhere in the Scriptures. The role of Mary, as presented in the Bible, is one of humble obedience and servitude to God’s plan. She is a blessed figure, chosen to bear Jesus Christ, the God-Man, in the mystery of the hypostatic union—the union of Christ’s divine and human natures.

(The Dissenter) Throughout the entirety of Christian history, few figures have been as venerated and as controversial as Mary, the mother of Jesus.

“But now there are two new, venomous elements in the matrix….One is that the racist DEI industry assumes that all intersectional nonwhite communities are victims of white privilege and supremacy.

“Hunter Biden’s business entity, Owasco PC, made direct monthly payments to Joe Biden. The bank records don’t lie.”
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10 (LSB) 
(Matt Vespa – Townhall) Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) found out quickly that she wasn’t going to be able to use CNN as her platform to bash Israel. To the network’s credit, when there’s a story this heinous—there’s no shying away from it. The progressive Left has been silent on the mass rape of Israeli women, which occurred on October 7. Hamas terrorists invaded southern Israel, where they murdered, raped, and burned at least 1,200 Israeli civilians.
“It turns out that this civic center, which is overseen by Bethel pastor, Kris Vallotton, along with other Bethel Church leaders, is hosting a Christmas event on December 10th featuring drag queens.”
“A newly released report (which I’ve embedded at the end of this column) of the first comprehensive audit of Disney and RCID shows the scope of Disney’s power and influence and how the company used RCID to benefit itself with little to no concern for the region as a whole.”
(Paul Bios – Breitbart) An antisemitic mob of pro-Palestinian protesters descended on an Israeli-owned falafel restaurant in Philadelphia while reportedly shouting a litany of hateful chants on Sunday night.
“He was also widely known for several minor scandals, such as playing AC/DC’s ‘Highway to Hell’ for their Easter service, being rebuked by his denomination for bad theology when he called the 10 commandments “10 promises,” and to a lesser extent being the foil to reformed folk and discernment bloggers alike when he rebuked congregation members in his church who said they wanted to go “deeper” and dismissed them as “jackasses.”
(Ben Bartee – PJ Media) Tucker Carlson recently made it abundantly clear whom he supports in the GOP nomination as well as for president in the 2024 general election.
“The false teaching that comes from the mouths of these deceivers is merely a symptom of the unregenerate heart—for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”
(Protestia) The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) and the Presbyterian Church (USA) have 
“They described Trump as being a whale client, someone you really want, and the disconnect of that testimony with what James is seeking is really breathtaking.”
(John B. Pollack – Breitbart) U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Israel that it lacks “credit” to conduct the kind of military campaign necessary to defeat Hamas, saying that the Biden administration would not tolerate large-scale bombing over months in southern Gaza.
(Debra Heine – American Greatness) Special Counsel Jack Smith demanded information on Twitter users who liked or retweeted former President Donald Trump’s tweets leading up to the January 6 riot, according to a
“TGC Council member Kevin DeYoung dedicated an entire blogpost to the tone of Pastor Wilson, an attack that was aptly critiqued by defenders of Pastor Wilson. Given that DeYoung has never taken time to publicly address the theological compromise of Tim Keller and the leftward drift of TGC in the same manner as his attack on Wilson, the attack on the tone of Moscow was certainly itself tone-deaf.” 
“The adoption of terms like “racial justice” or “gender justice” reflects a similar drift from biblical principles. While the pursuit of true justice is undoubtedly Christian (
“What sorts of things might the Democrats have up their sleeve for 2024? If we know one thing about Democrats, it’s that they live to win elections. That’s why they’re starting to freak out about the age and incompetence and awful polling of their 81-year-old standard-bearer.”
“The Bible calls us to a different standard. It speaks of sound teaching, equipping the saints for ministry, evangelism, and faithful Christian living. The Church’s role is not to conform to the world but to transform it through the power of the gospel.”
