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

FDA downplays COVID vax overdosing as hydroxychloroquine shows more promise in European research

“The FDA issued a bulletin Wednesday night warning of Moderna vaccine overdoses for children, without specifying how widely they were happening.”

(Greg Piper – Just the News) The FDA repeatedly told the public that an antiviral with a sterling safety record, ivermectin, should not be used to treat COVID-19 because it was also prescribed, at higher dosages, to livestock.

The agency didn’t appear to show the same concern about correctly dosing the new single-shot mRNA COVID vaccines and is now scrambling to educate healthcare providers not to give children adult-strength jabs even while denying that overdosing is a safety risk. Continue reading

Israel’s UN Ambassador Erdan Warns of US Terrorism: ‘We Are on Brink of Catastrophe’

(Brian Freeman – Newsmax) There might be a terror attack against Jews in the United States due to the alarming rise in antisemitism since the Hamas massacre of Israelis started the war, Israeli United Nations Ambassador Gilad Erdan said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Erdan emphasized that “we are on the brink of a catastrophe. Any moment, we might see a terror attack against a Jewish community here in the United States.” Continue reading

The Dangers of Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Disciplines

20 If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees: 21 “Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”? 22 Which deal with everything destined to perish with use, which are in accordance with the commands and teachings of men; 23 which are matters having, to be sure, a word of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence. Colossians 2:20-23 (LSB) 

As we have been seeing, in the attacks on the Church by what is now called “Progressive Christianity,” what the enemies of God’s Truth are actually constructing is a Spiritual Labyrinth whose complexity is designed to confuse and deceive…. Continue reading

God Hates Wicked People

“Because sinful people cannot storm the gates of heaven to dethrone and destroy God himself, they turn on what is dearest to him and nearest to his image. And so they act out their wickedness against other people. They hurt them, harm them, main them, kill them.”

(Tim Challies, 2017) Over the past few weeks I have been exploring what God hates. I have done this by looking to the Bible to search for those things God flat-out says he hates or things that he describes as “despicable” or “abominable.” We have seen that God hates idolatry, sexual immorality, injustice, hypocrisy, deceit, pride, and evil thoughts. Today we will wrap up by looking at God’s hatred for the wicked.

Pages leaked from Nashville transgender shooter manifesto

Audrey Hale manifesto – Louder with Crowder exclusive.

Update below.

The shooter said she wanted to “kill those kids” and referred to them as “those crackers,” a racial slur aimed at white people. She made reference to their “mop yellow hair” and their “white privileges.”

(Ben Zeisloft – The Sentinel) The transgender-identifying shooter responsible for murdering six people at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, wrote a manifesto expressing anti-white sentiments and laying out a schedule of the attack, according to excerpts of the document leaked to Louder with Crowder.

The shooter, an alumna of the Covenant School in Nashville and a woman who identified as a man, murdered three nine-year-old children and three adult staff members in March of this year…. Continue reading

Obama Wants Americans to Learn the ‘Whole Truth’ About the Israel-Hamas War

“There. That’s more like it. Mealy-mouthed, sanctimonious claptrap. That’s the Obama we know and love.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that Barack Obama isn’t taking sides in Israel’s war against Hamas. The man has had jelly for a spine ever since he entered public life. Remember the Syrian “red line”?

But in some ways, Obama can’t help it. He’s been groomed by the liberal establishment to avoid offending people. He was successfully able to couch his radicalism in the language of brotherhood and harmony. It got him elected twice and created a mythos around him and his presidency that continues to this day.

The Scandal of Sin

9 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 and he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His rage, and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. ”Revelation 14:9-11 (LSB)

I have been rereading and studying a book by John MacArthur titled The Vanishing Conscience. Along with this, I have been listening to a series of teachings by the late R.C. Sproul on the human conscience, all men’s guilt before God because of their sin, and the utter uselessness of man-made religiosity or human psychology teachings about self-esteem in maintaining a healthy conscience that leads the believer into growing in humility and Christlikeness….

3 Things You Should Know about 1 & 2 Timothy

“By the superintendence of the Holy Spirit, Paul also writes to us. These letters are full of encouragement and exhortation to pastors and parishioners alike. Here are three things we should know about 1 and 2 Timothy.”

(Michael G. Brown – Ligonier) First and 2 Timothy, as well as Titus, are known as Paul’s “Pastoral Epistles.” This simply means that unlike the Apostle’s other letters—which, except for Philemon, were written to congregations—these letters were written to pastors of local churches concerning their duties in the ministry. Timothy was the pastor of the church at Ephesus when Paul wrote these letters to him. Yet, by the superintendence of the Holy Spirit, Paul also writes to us. Continue reading

It’s Transgender Awareness Month: How Christians Should Respond

“These people may be suffering, but it isn’t because conservatives or Christians won’t affirm them—it’s because they’re contending with the inescapable presence of God’s holiness that is inherent in all creation and Scripture. Yet, these activists are using our collective silence on their lies as a lever to pry open the doors to wide-ranging social reforms that dovetail neatly with the goals of the LGBTQ movement.”

(The Dissenter) It’s that time of the year again—November rolls in and with it comes “Transgender Awareness Month,” a creation of the activist class who have marked it as a time to turn the national spotlight onto what they perceive as the plight of the transgender community. They’re selling it hard as a stretch of thirty days dedicated to drumming up “inclusivity” and social justice for those who fall under the transgender label—a label, let’s be clear, that’s wrapped in a web of lies and deception. Continue reading

What is the Day of the Lord?

1 Now we ask you, brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken in your mind or be alarmed whether by a spirit or a word or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it has not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the sanctuary of God, exhibiting himself as being God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 (LSB) 

I am not an eschatology “expert” or “specialist.” I believe eschatology is important and we should learn as much as we can from God’s Word about it because it is the fulfillment of God’s plan for His creation and His people. All I know to do is to look at what God’s Word says, keep it in context and make room for the Holy Spirit to write those truths on our hearts. Therefore, let us look at the Biblical term “Day the Lord. Continue reading

Why Do Many Christians Foolishly Argue Against Creeds, Confessions, and Catechisms as if They Threaten the Authority of Scripture?

“Reformed Christians talk a lot about the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession, Canons of Dort, Westminster Standards, and creeds such as the Apostles’, Nicene, Athanasian, and Chalcedonian Creeds. They are not making the case that confessions, catechisms, and creeds should replace Scripture. Quite the opposite. Reformed Christians use confessions, catechisms, and creeds to clearly articulate what they believe Scripture teaches.”

(Jonathan Shirk – Small Town Theologian) Read Nehemiah 8:7–8 on the site.

Every time a preacher ascends the pulpit to read and explain God’s Word, He is speaking creedally. It is inescapable. The moment he begins to explain the meaning or sense of the Scriptures, he is giving his creed. He is saying, “I believe that this Scripture means this, and here is why I believe it means this.” Explanation is absolutely necessary. God intends it to be done. Continue reading

One Sick War

“There was no precivilizational, unspeakable atrocity that the [Hamas] butcherers did not commit—torture, beheading, rape, mutilation, and necrophilia.” 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) There is something surreal, even sick about the current Gazan war.

Throughout European and American cities and campuses, tens of thousands of Middle East immigrants and students, and radical leftists chant nonstop “Free Palestinian from the River to the Sea.” Continue reading

Prominent Pastor Who Vocally Opposes Andy Stanley for LGBTQ Views Proudly Platforms Pro-LGBTQ TPUSA

“Being that Visconti is so vocally opposed to Stanley and his false teachings, to the point that he has completely written him off as a wolf in sheep’s clothing (and he is absolutely right about this), this is what makes it so difficult to understand why he could, from the same pulpit, promote Charlie Kirk from Turning Point USA (TPUSA).”

(The Dissenter) Ryan Visconti, the pastor of Generation Church in Mesa, Arizona, has come out as one of the most vocal opponents to Andy Stanley in the last year, particularly about his views on homosexuality in the context of Christian doctrine and church leadership…. Continue reading

Is John Hagee A False Teacher?

“John Hagee teaches that God has two chosen people, and that physical Israel is the Jews and Spiritual Israel is the Christians.”

(Evangelical Dark Web) John Hagee is an American pastor, author, and televangelist known for his leadership in the evangelical Christian community. Born on April 12, 1940, in Baytown, Texas, Hagee’s life and career have been dedicated to spreading Christian teachings.

Hagee’s upbringing was deeply rooted in Christianity. He was raised in a devout Christian family and grew up attending church regularly. This early exposure to faith had a profound impact on his life and later career choices. Continue reading

Musk Takes Shot at George Soros, Reveals How Billionaire’s Scheme Has Destabilized Humanity

“Hatred of God spurs leftist revolutions. Soros clearly intends to destabilize humanity and he’s been successful so far.”

(Jack Gist – The Western Journal) Man was created in the image of God. A hatred of humanity, then, is a hatred of God.

If Elon Musk is right, billionaire George Soros hates God. In an interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast Musk said it straight, “In my opinion, he [Soros] fundamentally hates humanity.” Continue reading

Untwisting the Bible, Part VIII: Slain in the Spirit

“In Scripture, falling down before God as you’re moved and convicted by His word is an awe-filled, life-changing experience. But when it’s packaged as a weekly, replicable event, it becomes nothing more than spiritual theatrics, a pantomime that mocks the true gravity of encountering Christ.,,,”

(The Dissenter) Picture this: a coliseum filled with crazy people whipped into a frenzy, arms flailing like windmills in a gale, eyes rolled back as if caught in a trance. The preacher, slick and telegenic, lays a hand on someone’s forehead, mutters a few words, and then—bam! Down they go, “slain in the Spirit,” they’ll tell you…. Continue reading

Welcome to Far-Right Extremists Extremism Land

“I won’t speak for anyone else, but I’m quite comfortable staking out a position that seems extreme to a bunch of people who are hell-bent on running the Republic off of a commie cliff. I’m going back for second and third helpings of polarization every day as long as these people have any influence.” 

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) I kicked off the week by writing about how much I am enjoying the way that newly minted Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is triggering so many Democrats. Watching them wash down handfuls of Prilosec with equitably sourced Nicaraguan kombucha is always entertaining. Continue reading

Self-absorbed ‘Christians’ And Their Perceptions Of The Bible

By Marsha West

Because I’ve been involved in online discernment for 17 years, people ask me questions about the latest fads sweeping through the visible Church; likewise, my view on different movements or of someone’s teaching they find concerning. I’m often asked about theological cults such as Mormonism, Word of Faith/Prosperity Gospel, New Apostolic Reformation (hyper-charismania), Progressive Social Justice “Christianity” a.k.a. “wokeness”, and lest we forget the demonic New Age/New Thought spirituality and occult practices that have wormed their way into churches.

In the past few years people have asked me about false teachers, i.e. wolves in sheep’s clothing, who have YouTube channels.  Since YT’s popularity has expanded, people don’t want to be taken in by “Christians” who promote highly unorthodox views and conspiracy theories on their monetized channels to the undiscerning. Not surprisingly, some very vicious wolves have a substantial number of subscribers/likes/shares, so buyer beware!

This article is not about youtubers (more on them here). Instead, I’m going to address some of the concerns I hear from family and friends and questions that frequently show up on my social media comments, PMs and email. What I often do, if appropriate, is refer people to Research Papers I’ve authored and published over at CRN. When time allows, I respond.

Following, as best I can recall, are synopsized conversations I’ve had with professing Christians whose names will remain anonymous. But first these cautionary words from B.B. Warfield:

If everything that is called Christianity in these days is Christianity, then there is no such thing as Christianity. A name applied indiscriminately to everything designates nothing.

Grace of Acceptation With God

16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate, that He may be with you forever; John 14:16 (LSB) 

As we look about us with any discernment at all in these times of spiritual deceit, it can be heart rending to see the outright lying done in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are so-called men of God preaching and teaching and ministering and doing things that could best be described as either the teaching or application of damnable heresies. I know that there are some who call themselves Christians who automatically have a problem with that last statement because they are afflicted with the disease of post-modernistic thinking….
