“We did not get here by accident; this was the point all along, transforming us from a harmonious society into a people who give hearty approval to every kind of wickedness and evil under heaven (Romans 1:32). And while this was clearly the point, there most certainly is a cure.”
(Kendall Lankford) In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. The Earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. – Genesis 1:1-2
Just moments before the “in the beginning,” nothing existed. And for limitless eternities, our God was perfectly thrilled to dwell enraptured within the inner trinitarian love of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And then, oh, about six to ten thousand years ago, God caused time to start ticking and space to bubble into being. The text says God first created the heavens and the Earth, which before the issuance of light, was just a collection of dark, formless, voided proto-matter that had yet to be organized into something meaningful. All of that changes in verse 2. Continue reading
“The last five years of Byrd’s life and ministry represent a failure to be honest about what she believes and offer us a picture of what it looks like to reject labels even while covertly embracing them.”
Employees were told to include names and pronouns in email signatures, as well as utilize “gender-neutral language” when referring to other employees in order to avoid assumptions about their sexual orientation and gender identity. Managers were instructed that employees are permitted “safe access to their preferred restroom” and that office dress codes “should not restrict an employee’s clothing or appearance based on gender.”

“O’Brien’s “prophetic declaration” here that allowing women to preach is a move of the Holy Spirit is grossly disingenuous and outright blasphemous.”
“Keep your eye on the Biden “bribe” stuff. Democrat honchos are worried about that. Obviously, the corrupt Justice Department will not aggressively investigate the Biden’s, but Congressional committees can do serious damage to the President.”
(Konrad Holden – The Sentinel) The homosexuality issue is a cultural “canary in the coal mine,” as it were. If homosexuality is affirmed by conservatives, the canary is dead, and Christians had better scramble for fresher air.
“President Joe Biden has spent the better part of the last half-century demanding that Americans pay higher taxes — their “fair share” — and more recently called for a significant increase in the number of IRS investigators even as his son who “has done nothing wrong” failed to pay a tax bill of more than $1 million.”
“The overarching question now is whether these vulnerabilities can and will be fixed in time for the next presidential election, or whether the Dominion voting machines will once again present a golden opportunity for all those who want to “enhance” our next presidential contest the way they did the last one.”
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. Ephesians 2:8-9 (LSB) 
“All the news, however, is not good. Axios explains that Kohl’s stock “slumped by over 20% in the wake of the furor, but has since rebounded.” Rebounded? Not a good sign. These corporations have to be made to feel the heat in an ongoing manner, or they’ll just resume with their woke propaganda, secure in the knowledge that patriotic anger will blow over.” 
“Even more problematic is the opportunity that history professors have to indoctrinate students with the activist playbook so common amongst progressive people: Oversimplify history by creating villains and heroes based on their identity markers. Impute racist or sexist motives to every historical figure who does not pass progressive muster. Wax eloquent about class struggle in every historical era. Discuss traditional social norms as though they are unenlightened and backwards….”
“So what exactly does this mean? Does this mean that there is hope for the SBC? Does this mean that the SBC isn’t drifting to the left after all? Does this mean that we are wrong about the direction of the denomination and that it truly is a conservative denomination?”
(Revolver News) Danielle Smith, the current premier of Alberta in Canada, has done something remarkable. She took the bold and unprecedented step of apologizing to unvaccinated Canadians who’ve faced unfair treatment from the government throughout the “pandemic.” But Ms. Smith actually went beyond just issuing an apology, Danielle actually made a promise: anyone who was terminated from their job due to their refusal of the COVID-19 vaccine will be reinstated. 
“When recalling my early trials with my father, I’m reminded of a great quote attributed to that sagacious humorist, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain): “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” Like Twain, it took me a few years to figure out that my old man was a good father and a good mentor to boot.”
“Conservative commentator Matt Walsh recently commented on Twitter that this could be the downfall of FOX”
“Trinity Foundation examines hundreds of 990s each year and has not found a single American religious leader compensated more than David Cerullo….From 2008 to 2021, David Cerullo received over $50 million in compensation from The Inspirational Network, Inc. and related organizations.”
“A full apology and explanation was given to us by the Dodgers staff which we accept,” the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence said in a statement. “We believe the apology is sincere because the Dodgers have worked for 10 years with our community and as well they have asked us to continue an ongoing relationship with them.”
“Puppy play kink recently made headlines when the Biden administration hired Sam Brinton, a puppy play fetishist, to be an official in the Department of Energy. Brinton was later fired and jailed on charges of stealing women’s luggage and clothing from airports.” 
“The attack on the family is not simply an expression of godless secularism. Marx and Engels argued that the nuclear family performs ideological functions for Capitalism and teaches passive acceptance of hierarchy. The family is also the institution through which the wealthy pass private property to their children, thus reproducing class inequality. According to Engels, the monogamous nuclear family only emerged with Capitalism and so must be destroyed.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The annual Southern Baptist Convention was the 3rd convention in which conservative Baptists were mobilized against the liberal drift in the denomination. In this convention, the conservatives would see both continued setbacks and substantial gains, unseen in the previous conventions. In 2021, the conservatives lost the presidential race winning only a minor office of first vice president and overriding the resolutions committee on a real pro-life resolution. In 2022, conservatives got blown out having no accomplishments at the convention. Conservatives speculated that New Orleans, being located in Louisiana, would be favorable to their cause whereas Anaheim was not. 
“Zlochevsky allegedly told the CHS he was dismayed by Trump’s victory, fearing an investigation would reveal his payments to the Biden family, which included a $5 million payment to Hunter Biden and a $5 million payment to Joe Biden.” 
(Cullen Linebarger – Gateway Pundit) The mask has completely dropped: leftists in government are now openly inviting adults from across America to allow the mutilation of innocent children without parental consent and have them exposed to X-rated material.
(Protestia) In a historic win for conservative Southern Baptists that echoes the conservative resurgence 40 years earlier, messengers at the 2023 Annual Meeting approved a motion to amend Article 6 of the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, clarifying the roles of women and clearly and unambiguously barring them from holding any pastoral roles- whether it be senior pastor, associate pastor, youth pastor, or children’s pastor.
