“These practices, seductive as they may be, drift away from the core biblical teachings and often have more in common with New Age or occult beliefs than they do with orthodox Christianity. It’s a growing concern that necessitates unwavering discernment.”
(The Dissenter) In Part XIII of our hard-hitting series on the Snares of the Modern Church, we unmask one of the most pernicious yet insidious traps that have ensnared unwitting believers—occultism.

“The scorpions who control most media companies are more driven than ever to impose progressive policies and get pliable people like Biden and Kamala elected.”
Watch the short video to see for yourself that the mainstream media talking heads are liars and clever manipulators. What they do is unconscionable.
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) After months of stringing us along, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is reportedly now expected to endorse an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.

WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING,”

(The Dissenter) In a cultural landscape teeming with ideological disarray, even the dialogue surrounding Christian interaction with the LGBTQ movement has been pulled apart by polarizing narratives. A particularly concerning viewpoint comes to light through the Acts 29 Network, which we

“One of two things explain the continuous reckless behavior of wayward son Hunter Biden: One, he is either still on drugs or so suffers from past addiction that he has lost all common sense and judgment, and simply cannot control his behavior. Or, two…”
“The Governor of New Mexico has just declared the 1st & 2nd Amendment “does not exist” due to an “emergency.” Under this legal theory all of our “rights” are essentially eliminated.”

We can give each other courage: we all need to feel we’re doing right. Parents should be outraged, scandalized, that state governments (California, for one), the teachers’ unions, and Democrat politicians mean to sue school districts for “outing” children—to their parents!—if a child, groomed accordingly, shows an interest in “gender reassignment.”
“Would these same men make the same concessions for other sins they find to be vile, such as “racism” or “white supremacy”—all sins that Acts 29 leader, Matt Chandler, has repeatedly asserted that he has zero tolerance for? Doubtful.” 
“Oh, it’s definitely something that’s coming to the United States. And in fact, that’s one of the things that we found in the Twitter files – discussion about how European style hate speech laws were definitely coming here.” 
(Madeline Hubbard – Just the News) Former President Donald Trump said that he did not fire National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci because he was “not allowed” to, but at the end of the day, Fauci was not a “big player” in his administration.
“It is actually part of the word of the Lord that God has given me for Kings and for you. You’re gonna be very excited what the Holy Spirit is saying. By the way I prophesied over Pastor Jireh (Urmeneta) that he’s going to get a new house already and that God is going to give him supernatural financing. So you mark it down, it’s gonna happen.”

“The Holy Spirit did not mean one thing when Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus and then something entirely different when we read it 2,000 years later. There are no private messages in the Bible.”
