16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Wait, and let me tell you what Yahweh spoke to me last night.” And he said to him, “Speak!”
17 And Samuel said, “Is it not true, though you were little in your own eyes, you were made the head of the tribes of Israel? And Yahweh anointed you king over Israel, 18 and Yahweh sent you on a mission and said, ‘Go and devote to destruction the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’ 19 Why then did you not obey the voice of Yahweh, but rushed upon the spoil and did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh?”
20 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I did obey the voice of Yahweh and went on the way on which Yahweh sent me and have brought back Agag the king of Amalek and have devoted the Amalekites to destruction. 1 Samuel 15:16-20 (LSB)
The Reformers and Puritans would not recognize as genuine most of what we call Christianity today. Of course one of the main thrusts of the Protestant Reformation was to make the Word of God accessible to all people. Why? It is from God’s Word that we learn the truth.

“Brown was also upset that one episode was taking a critical view of the Bethel/ Pentecostal phenomena of ‘grave soaking,’ which is when someone lays on top of the grave of a famous dead charismatic and “sucks” the “mantle” and “anointing” out of them.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) One of the most overlooked aspects of both the He Gets Us Campaign and The Chosen is the Big Eva industry working behind the scenes to fund and market products that ultimately put out a substandard Jesus. The He Gets Us Campaign seemingly came out of nowhere with the ability to put up the funds for
(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Ever since September 11, 2001, Democrats have insisted that the real problem with Islamic terrorists killing innocent people is that innocent people might take a dim view of Islamic terrorists.
“When Tucker asked what would happen to the United States if we started bombing Iran’s infrastructure, Macgregor said they’d target our bases in Syria and Iraq, and this time, they wouldn’t miss. We could expect trouble here at home, and Russia would not remain silent.”
“The entire purpose of twisting the Bible to try to make it as though Jesus sinned is a leftist conundrum. They believe that if they can prove Jesus sinned, then that makes it okay for them to sin. They can be homosexuals, have abortions, and hate Bible-believing conservative Christians. After all, if Jesus sinned and went to Heaven, so can they.”
“This is the company Francis Chan keeps now, and to say that he is not recommended is an understatement.”
“More school choice is the way to begin weakening the unions and their stranglehold on the Democrats. There’s been a lot of progress on this front, but much more work needs to be done.”
“The SV40 promoter is found in all the vials and it was in the gene sequence that was provided to the regulators. There is no mistake. The problem was that neither drug company ever pointed it out to the regulators. It’s an unapproved contaminant that doesn’t meet the standards set.”
“It may have been intended for indoor use — and perhaps could be used against Israeli soldiers fighting in tunnels in Gaza.”
(The Dissenter) In a decision that undoubtedly exposes the theological and moral lapses within certain corners of modern evangelicalism, JD Greear, the highly influential pastor of Summit Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, recently hosted Durham County District Attorney Satana Deberry for what was termed a “family discussion” on racial issues and faith. Let’s be clear: Greear’s decision to give a platform to Deberry, an openly lesbian and pro-abortion activist, is nothing short of a blasphemous betrayal of biblical Christianity and dereliction of his pastoral duties.
“Many Protestants have failed to remember that this is not merely a Roman Catholic thing. We do need to understand that demon possession does in fact still happen, even in our circles. But why does it and what can we as believers do about it in the present day and age?”
(Solange Reyner – Newsmax) House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky.,
“The Christian faith is not supposed to be a democratic smorgasbord, let alone a phony democracy imitating the democratic centralism of communist dictatorships. However, many of the Synod participants, Pope Francis included, have been steeped in the Marxist-Leninist “Liberation Theology” of the post-Vatican II era and are thus comfortable with this new aberrant orientation.”
“The Trans child is our modern, evil age totem. You know like the boar’s head you see on a stick and everybody marches behind it, and that’s what Andy Stanley and his church and all those people look like to me. You’re all marching behind this totem of the trans child and you are doing damage.”
“The last time Gaza got its hands on gazillions of other people’s dollars it didn’t provide the basic needs of the imbeciles who voted for Hamas back in 2006, but instead was used to build an underground labyrinth of tunnels terrorists can escape to after attacking Israelis.”
“The corporate media’s goal is mayhem, specifically against the West. Western media institutions have been infested with Wokesters who believe war and chaos are the road to the power they crave, the power to organize society in their fascistic image.”
“Iran’s other proxy Hezbollah still issues blood-curdling threats to launch missiles. But it privately knows if it hits Israel with them, Beirut will resemble something far worse than its rubble of 2006 during the last Middle East war.”
“Books promoting agendas like homosexuality and transgenderism and pushing narratives of systemic racism aren’t just presenting an alternate viewpoint. Make no mistake, these activists aim to indoctrinate our children into a worldview devoid of sanity and devoid of God.”
We’ve all seen them cheering on the slaughter and hating the Jews – a lowlight was a Cornell associate professor of history who found the mass rape/murder spree to be “exhilarating.”
“The Chosen views itself as something that can be preached from, and it’s clear that The Chosen is meant to placate a seeker-friendly audience rather than adhere to the biblical accounts.”
