(Spencer Brown – Townhall) Townhall’s loyal readers know that the U.S.-Mexico border has been a full-blown crisis on multiple fronts since President Joe Biden’s open-border policies were implemented. It’s a border crisis, a public health crisis, a national security crisis, and a humanitarian crisis. For most of Biden’s friends in the mainstream media who take their cues from the White House podium, however, it was never that big of a problem. It was “irregular migration” or some other sanitized version of reality. But now, even CNN’s reporters have no choice but to share the truth of life along the border for Americans. Continue reading
‘Surely I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
11 I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. Revelation 3:11 (LSB)
3 knowing this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” 2 Peter 3:3-4 (LSB)
It is one thing to say, “Come soon Lord Jesus!” and quite another thing to live as if you mean it. There are some today that teach we should live this life with our focus on the here and now rather than eternity. Why? This is to create a better world or make this world a better place….

How the Lausanne Movement Is Hijacking Christianity to Jumpstart a Global Marxist Revolution
“What, or who, are the connecting dots between Lausanne and the World Economic Forum? Prominent Evangelical figures such as the late Tim Keller, David Platt, and J.D. Greear are linked to the World Economic Forum (WEF) through their promotion of “Faith Driven Investing,” which aligns with the investment strategies of BlackRock, a firm deeply embedded in WEF’s “Great Reset” initiative….”
(The Dissenter) The Lausanne Movement, established in 1974 following the Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization, initiated by Billy Graham and other Christian leaders, is an international network of globalist evangelical leaders who purport to be focused on fulfilling the Great Commission—the Christian mandate to evangelize and make disciples of all nations. The movement emphasizes ecumenical cooperation across denominational lines and has a strong focus on global issues such as poverty, justice, and environmental stewardship…. Continue reading
Pope Francis Fires Popular ‘Protestant Priest’ for Criticizing Him All the Time
“While there is no such thing as a ‘good’ pope, since they are the head of an evil and wicked heterodox church, Francis has been particularly noxious and vexatious, doing things like affirming the faith of Joe Biden and saying he would never refuse him communion because the President’s love for abortion is between him and God, endorsing civil unions for gay couples, appointing multiple pro-choice people to his pro-life organization…”
(Protestia) Pope Francis continues his progressive romp through Roman Catholic church teachings, enraging conservative Catholics after personally firing Bishop Joseph Strickland and relieving him of his duties as bishop of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas. Continue reading
Confronting Charlie Kirk’s Idolatry
“Many Christians go to the Western Wall out of ignorance and participate in the idolatry of the spectacle. This likely includes your favorite politician. However, Charlie Kirk…is keenly aware of the idolatry he is participating in.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, is one of the most lucrative brands in American conservatism. His brand of conservatism is renowned for a big tent approach with extra homage to Israel. The result of his support for sodomy in 2019 was an event known as the Groyper Wars in which trolls infiltrated TPUSA events and asked him how sodomy was worth conserving. The Groyper Wars resulted in Kirk responding to criticisms by leaning more into faith and spirituality. TPUSA Faith is a result of that.
TPUSA Faith is a mixed bag. It’s not an organization known for discernment, and will even promote a Christian-hating atheist at its Pastor’s Summit. Charlie Kirk does not have good theology, and so he tweeted this image with the caption “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 12:3).
Many Christians go to the Western Wall out of ignorance and incidentally participate in the idolatry of the spectacle. This likely includes your favorite politician. However, Charlie Kirk, in contrast, is keenly aware of the idolatry he is participating in.

Hamas Fighters Beat Gazans and Steal Their Food
(Red State) From the United States to Europe, Western leaders have spent the last few weeks calling for a “pause” so that “humanitarian aid” can be driven into the Gaza Strip.
How naive is that? A new piece of video [on the site] illustrates that it’s incredibly naive.
Hamas “police” can be seen hitting Gazans as they try to get food from the truck, which is painted in UN white, though that may just be a coincidence. In one frame, something that resembles a machete is swung. Continue reading
Triumph in Christ
17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching to which you were given over, 18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. Romans 6:17-18 (LSB)
Much of the heresy being taught and preached by the apostates in our time is the product of a wrong view of Christ. Their knowledge of Jesus Christ is flawed, incomplete, or man-made. On the other hand, we should not despair that this is happening because our faith is not in any man, but in Christ Himself who promised to build His Church and the gates of Hell would never be able to prevail against it (Matthew 16:18)….

Sadly, It Appears House Speaker Mike Johnson Has Aligned Himself With the New Apostolic Reformation
“The NAR’s teachings about Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit diverge sharply from orthodox Christian doctrine. They promote a distorted view of Jesus, often referred to as the kenotic Jesus, which undermines the biblical truth of His full divinity and humanity.”
(The Dissenter) In a surprising turn of events, it appears as though the newly-elected Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has aligned himself with the nefarious unbiblical movement, the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). According to a report in Rolling Stone, Johnson is flying a flag outside of his office that represents one of the most pernicious characters of the NAR, Dutch Sheets. Continue reading
Biden’s ‘Brave New World’ Solution: Mind-altering Drugs
(Benjamin Martin – The Patriot Post) Recently, a colleague referred me to an article in The Hill concerning the Joe Biden administration’s request for drug companies to increase the manufacture of certain behavior-altering drugs. The report notes: “Drug manufacturers have agreed to increase their production of stimulant medications like Adderall to help address the ongoing shortage in the U.S., with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) making changes to its quota process. The U.S. is experiencing a shortage of several stimulant drugs, including Adderall, Ritalin and Vyvanse. The Adderall shortage has gone on for more than a year now, impacting the thousands who rely on it for school or work.” Continue reading
Hamas Terrorist Attack Drove the Left’s Growing Antisemitism Into the Open
“Standing with Israel and against anti-Semitism and all forms of hatred is the American way. Israel is a democracy and a strong ally of the United States that deserves the support of all Americans. And anti-Semitism is an ancient and toxic prejudice that has no place in our great nation.”
(Fred Fleitz – American Greatness) The recent huge anti-Israel and anti-Semitic demonstrations in several U.S. cities and on college campuses, as well as harassment and threats against Jewish Americans, surprised many Americans and the mainstream media.
But the truth is, if you were unaware of the rise in anti-Semitism and hostility toward the State of Israel from some segments of American society in recent years – especially on the Left – you either have not been paying attention or have been looking the other way. Continue reading
Elon Musk’s Neuralink asks for volunteers to have brain chip implanted
“Neuralink says the ideal candidate is a quadriplegic under the age of forty; a human surgeon will remove a section of the skull, after which a seven-foot-tall robotic surgeon will implant a chip composed of 1,000 electrodes into the volunteer’s brain.”
(Amy Jo Underwood – The Sentinel) Neuralink, the brain implant company launched by Elon Musk, is asking for a volunteer to have a chip implanted into their skull by a robotic surgeon during the firm’s first clinical trial. Continue reading
‘Let it Burn’: Fire Departments Ill-Prepared for Electric Vehicles Boom
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) So electric vehicles are going to save the planet, eh? Somebody forgot to tell Joe Biden something important when he authorized the spending of tens of billions of dollars for EV subsidies, more billions to build charging stations (still not enough), and still more billions to auto manufacturers to “incentivize” the design and building of more and more EV’s. That important bit of information is the fact that electric car fires are darn near impossible to put out.
That’s right. There’s going to be something close to 48 million EV’s on the road by 2030 (if the Biden administration statistics are right) and fire departments across the country don’t have a clue how to extinguish EV car fires. Continue reading
Doctrine and truth
3 Beloved, being extremely eager to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you encouraging you to contend for the faith delivered once for all to the saints. (Jude 1:3 Translated from the NA28 Greek text)
One of the topics of contention that I often deal with “commenters” whom I screen and block and with those who contact me via email is that “doctrine” is different from the truth given to the Church by our Lord through the Apostles. These are the same people who contend that there is a separation between truth and the revealed truth the Church has in God’s Word. Continue reading
Make Disciples
“Through you, Christ will win, build, equip, restore, and send learners to do His mission in this needy world.”
(Dave Eby – Ligonier) When I started seminary in 1967, Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:18–20 to “make disciples” baffled me. There was something cryptic and mysterious about it, seemingly understood by only an initiated few. At the same time, Jesus’ words demanded comprehension and performance, and this started a pilgrimage of seeking to understand and practice “making disciples.” After many years of pastoring in the United States and teaching at a seminary in Uganda, I am still learning.

Lung cancer pill shows ‘earth-shattering’ results in 5-year study: ‘An optimistic time’
“For this particular medication, patients who have a genetic mutation called EGFRm — and who have already had surgery — are viable candidates for Tagrisso.”
(Melissa Rudy) Many lung cancer patients now have access to a potentially life-saving medication.
Osimertinib, sold under the brand name Tagrisso, is available to patients with Stage 1B-3A lung cancer who have a certain genetic mutation and have had surgery to remove cancerous tumors. Continue reading
The Lie of ‘Gender Affirmation’
There was something desperately wrong with the “Dutch Protocol” and “gender affirmation” model. Like any good doctor, Kaltiala and her colleagues published their findings. So successful was she in proving her point scientifically and medically that, in 2020, the Council for Choices in Health Care in Finland declared that studies singing the praises of “gender affirmation” were “biased and unreliable.”
(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) Dr. Riittakerttu Kaltiala is a well-respected psychiatrist at Finland’s Tampere University Hospital. So well respected was she that in 2011 she was chosen to head up Finland’s first youth gender clinic. She has long been publishing her findings and documenting the various struggles of her patients, but now she is trying to get the attention of the American public. Continue reading
Catholic Church Updates Dogma to Include Co-habiting Homosexual Couples as ‘Conforming to the Faith’
(The Dissenter) In an unsurprising move of apostasy, the Roman Catholic Church, which has completely abandoned the Scriptures in favor of Papal authority, is now allowing “transgender” people to find refuge within its walls. This startling development echoes the fall of mainstream Protestant denominations that have long since taken a 180-degree turn from anything resembling Christianity, indulging in the carnality of culture rather than the truth of the Bible.
In an era where the boundaries of biblical morality are being relentlessly tested, these religious institutions have completely failed the test of faithfulness…. Continue reading
Netanyahu Demands Answers from CNN, NYT, AP, Reuters, on Embedded Hamas Photographers
(Joel B. Pollak – Breitbart) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration is demanding answers from several prominent news agencies after criticism emerged of their photographers appearing to have been embedded with Hamas terrorists during the October 7 attack.
As Breitbart News reported Wednesday, the Associated Press said that it had no foreknowledge of the attack, even though its photographers appeared alongside Hamas terrorists from the first moments that they broke through the Gaza border fence. Continue reading
Is there Injustice on God’s Part?
14 What shall we say then? Is there any unrighteousness with God? May it never be! Romans 9:14 (LSB)
The natural mind, plagued with selective rationalization, demands that God be fair in His dealings with all humankind. Fairness speaks of justice. One of the tenets of our republican form government in the USA is a right to a fair and speedy trial before one’s peers. A person on trial for a crime may or may not truly want justice. They may be guilty so their desire is not justice, but grace. If a judge in a criminal trial declares a defendant guilty, but then defers sentencing in lieu of probation or “time served” then he has extended grace to the guilty party. Continue reading
Calls Mount For SBC’s ERLC President Brent Leatherwood To Be Removed
“In an organized fashion, Southern Baptists have launched a petition for his removal.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Yesterday, Evangelical Dark Web reported that Brent Leatherwood gave a press conference in which he had harsher words for Steven Crowder, the person who leaked the Nashville Manifesto, and those who amplified it, than even the trans[gender] school shooter, Audrey Hale. In the performative press conference, Brent Leatherwood employed ERLC staffers for his personal project of attempting to suppress the Nashville Manifesto from the public. Continue reading
Rep. McCormick Is Under a Serious Death Threat Over Tlaib
“The country has changed and will continue to change for the worse unless of course you like moving to the hard left. Then, this is your moment.”
(Mary Dowling) As reported, the House voted to censure Rashida Tlaib for her pro-Hamas rhetoric and incitements to destroy Israel after the October 7 massacre. The vote was 234 to 188, with 22 Democrats joining Republicans and four members voting present. They voted for Rich McCormick’s measure to censure.
Tlaib (D-Mich.) is the 26th member of Congress to be censured by the House in the legislative body’s history. Continue reading
Smartphones Are Dumb
“Smartphones, the Internet, and specifically social media are not good for the prefrontal cortex. Just as a reminder, the prefrontal cortex (which is concerned with decision-making and long-term planning and consequences) isn’t fully developed in humans until the age of 25.”
(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) Jonathan Haidt is on a mission to understand what has gone wrong with our school-age children. As a noted psychology professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, Haidt noticed a change in students both socially and academically starting in 2012. Students are lonelier, not as intellectually engaged, and developing mental health problems at an alarming rate. Continue reading
GOP underperforms again as Democrats use abortion, turnout to win marquee 2023 elections
“Social media lights up with calls to oust Ronna McDaniel as RNC chairwoman as GOP losing streaks pile up since 2018”
(John Solomon – Just the News) Saddled with a historically unpopular president and American anger over crime and inflation, Democrats still managed somehow to win the marquee races of the 2023 election season on the strength of abortion messaging, early turnout and ad spending blitzes.
The Republicans’ latest disappointing election performance –- from Glenn Youngkin’s failed bid to capture control of the Virginia legislature to Daniel Cameron’s loss of the gubernatorial mansion in deep-red Kentucky…. Continue reading
President Trump shocks judge with game-changing document pulled from his pocket…
“It’s so disheartening to witness the state of our judicial system under the Biden regime. It has been reduced to a farcical kangaroo court, used as a weapon to undermine and vilify political enemies. Thanks to the left, the United States is now the very definition of a third-world banana republic, and the scary part? Many Americans are literally cheering this Marxism on.”
(Revolver) The ongoing “fraud” trial led by Letitia James in New York City continues to unfold, and to anyone watching, it’s apparent that the highly biased TDS judge is already chomping at the bit to hand down a “guilty” verdict. This has always been the predetermined outcome for the first tragic act against Trump, and the rest will follow the same way…. Continue reading
Inside Story of the Nashville Killer Audrey Hale
This story is in the public interest. CRN chose to post the story, which wasn’t an easy decision. According to The Independent Sentinel “The killings weren’t Hale’s first attempt; she was there multiple times. She “chickened out” and was caught at the school armed another time….She had a history, and the system failed.”
Now to Mary Dowling’s report (see other reports below this one):
There is a lot more information that needs to come out.
According to one source, the disturbed killer was following the Principal of the school. She killed the Principal during her spree, along with a custodian, a teacher, and three nine-year-old children. Continue reading
