“Scripture also teaches that those who are truly saved do not depart from the faith (1 Cor. 15:1-2). Preaching a false gospel would certainly be a departure from the faith. The Bible refers to saved people as “believers” (Acts 5:14; 1 Tim. 4:12). But if you are teaching and/or believing something contrary to the truth, how can you be a believer?…”
(The Dissenter) Have you ever slummed through a sermon by a preacher like Steven Furtick or Andy Stanley? Have you ever really just sat and listened to them preach. It’s easy to be drawn in to the charismatic mood changing, emotionally-driven style of speech or worship. They quote from Scripture and speak with such passion that can leave you wondering, how could someone so passionate about what they’re saying be so off? Continue reading
14 And as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up 15 that everyone believing in Him may have eternal life.” 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that everyone believing in him should not perish but have life eternal. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. 18 The one believing in him is not judged, but the one not believing has been judged already because he has not believed in the only name of the Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment, light has come into the world and men love the darkness rather than the light for their works were evil. 20 Everyone practicing evil things hates the light and does not come into the light lest his works be exposed, 21 but the one doing the truth comes to the light that it may be manifested that his works have been wrought in God. (John 3:14-21 translated from the NA28 Greek text) Read Matthew 3:10-12 on the site.
“What happens when we wrench this verse from its intended context? We trivialize the profound suffering of the Israelites and render the richness of redemptive history into a shallow, one-size-fits-all catchphrase. Worse yet, we dilute the potency of a God who works in the mire of human despair to bring about His glorious purposes….” 
“On the topic of politics, Marxists in the pulpits are largely silent, according to PRRI. Fewer than one in ten discusses election fraud or abortion. But when it comes to Marxist topics such as poverty, racial inequality, racism, and “social justice,” 90 percent of them freely push the Marxist agenda.”
Now, as our land breaks apart and cities burn in furnaces of unfettered sin and violence the Lord our God speaks to the unrighteous in a dreadful, wrath-filled voice saying, “Do you finally see your sinfulness—the stupidity, depravity, and evil—in your hearts?!”
“Pope Francis is taking a major step this week in pushing arguably the most progressive legacy of any Pope as members of a major church Synod and the Pope are called together in Vatican City to debate new changes that could rock the ancient faith.”

(Mary Dowling) Governor Gavin Newsom has appointed California Senator Dianne Feinstein’s replacement to fill out the 13 months left on Mrs. Feinstein’s term.
“From Bill Hybels to Steven Furtick to Craig Groeschel, the list goes on of celebrity pastors who have pursued growth and popularity over truth. They have given in to the zeitgeist, promoting homosexuality, gender confusion, Critical Race Theory, and other ideologies utterly incompatible with God’s Word.”
“This is just a sample, but you get the idea. Hunter was engaged in a patently corrupt scheme that involved selling access to his father, one of the most powerful politicians on the planet.”
Need to read articles you may have missed this week. Plus, Most Popular, Past Popular and a few Truth memes.
“This war against the body lies at the heart of so much of our modern politics. It connects to the sexual politics that deny that human genitals are to be used in some ways and not in others. It connects to gender politics that see the significance traditionally ascribed to sexed bodies as an oppressive social construct….”
“If the Biden administration really cared about “gun violence,” it would propose harsh mandatory prison sentences for anyone who possesses a firearm in the commission of a crime. Five years first offense, ten years second. That’s in addition to punishment for the criminal act being committed by the gun-wielder.”
“Musk did not say exactly when he was set to visit the border, but many jumped onto his posts to agree wholeheartedly with the X CEO’s ideas on the border debacle.”
“So, to present a God who winks at sin or accommodates it in any form is not just an innocent mishap or a benign deviation from the truth, it’s a blasphemous misrepresentation of who God is.”
“Doubtless this unsanitary foolery was cooked-up by ivory-tower village idiots who still want Hillary Clinton to be president (but I digress, I think). Heaven only knows how they raise their own children, if they have any. Most of them don’t have the sense God gave an ashtray. You’ll find scads of ‘em at any teachers’ college.”
“Here is the same message The Nation seems to have just discovered on one of their sociological safaris to the American Heartland. Christians think sex belongs in marriage and that all life, even unborn life, should be protected and celebrated….” 
“Are we okay with supporting and promoting a ministry where leaders make such blasphemous and outlandish claims about divine encounters tied to social media popularity? It’s time to draw the line in the sand—if you’re church plays Bethel music, it’s time to leave.”
“The President had knowledge of many of his family’s business dealings, and indeed participated in them by having phone calls and attending private dinners—including while he was Vice President…”
(John Solomon – Just the News) resident Joe Biden’s brother told the FBI the first family – including Hunter Biden – tried unsuccessfully to help a Chinese company buy U.S. energy assets and did so believing the firm’s leader was tied directly to Communist Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to explosive new documents made public Wednesday by the House Ways and Means Committee.
“The only reason there’s this debate about LGBTQ+-affirming churches is that the Rainbow Mafia demands acquiescence and will take nothing less. These days, we can’t simply love gay people for who they are; we must celebrate their lifestyles if we are to be in good standing with the Pride Mob.”
“One of the most profound misunderstandings is the charge that cessationists “put God in a box,” claiming that He no longer heals or performs miracles. This is a gross misrepresentation. God, in His omnipotence and sovereignty, is free to act in whatever manner He chooses. The difference lies not in God’s capability but in the methods He has chosen to employ to carry out His divine purposes.”
