    IFB ^ | 11/8/19
    With the EXPONENTIAL growth in technology and media Satan is more powerful than ever in peddling his godless demonic kool-aid (John 8:44, Eph. 2:1, 6:12, 1 Peter 5:18) and mankind is more sold-out today than ever to do lawlessness and to hear his voice! Thank Almighty God that there are some websites and bloggers out there who give great political insight and news commentary of the day and that they also always include Almighty God's ETERNAL gospel and prophetic message of hope for our nation's dark hour! There was a time when things could be slightly turned around here in...

    In May, Americans United (AU) for the Separation of Church and State highlighted a poll conducted by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding in partnership with the Bridge Initiative at Georgetown University. They used the survey to argue that people on the Religious Right were a threat to America because they are the people most “eager to base U.S. law on their understanding of religion.”They noted that the poll found seventeen percent of white evangelicals “want their faith to be the main source of U.S. law, and a whopping 54 percent want it to provide the source of some...

    Before I begin this piece I would like to ask readers NOT to contact any of the individuals named in this article. This is because to do so could be construed as ‘Perverting the Course of Justice’ and that is in British law an offence. I respectfully request that you the reader do nothing that could be seen as ‘perverting justice’. As an aside, the information that I am sharing is not that much different from what Count Dankula shared when he was arrested for a bullshit ‘hate speech’ crime, so I do not believe that any of the information...

    IFB ^ | 11/6/19
    Jesus stated - quite plainly - that all of these events MUST come to pass in the future (Matt 24). All the signs today point to this time and hour when the final outworking of godless lawlessness (iniquity) would engulf the entire world (Matt.24:12, 2 Thess. 2:3-12). There is absolutely nothing at present that can hinder this final lawless consumption of the world and the foretold global empire of Lucifer's anti-Christ and operation "666" (2 Thess. 2:7-12, Rev. 13). To believe otherwise is to be "anti-Christ" its self and the height of delusion and folly (1 John 2:19-23). Mankind has...

    A street preacher is suing an Oregon city for more than $300,000 over an incident earlier this year when officials stopped him from preaching about the Gospel and against abortion. Mark Mayberry recently filed a lawsuit in district court against Portland over an incident from June in which a city employee attempted to stop him from passing out literature and displaying a pro-life sign at Waterfront Park, reported KOIN. Mayberry is seeking around $307,000 and has asked that the city be penalized for violating a previous order protecting street preachers at the Waterfront. “While Plaintiff expressed views that were undoubtedly...

The little-publicized declaration, signed at Casina Pio IV, the Academy’s headquarters, consists of 14 pledges to “build together effective solutions for sustainable development of Amazonia.” The Register requested a copy and received one from...
  • Pete Buttigieg: I’ll Bring Christianity Back To The White House. But He’s Pro-Abortion

    LIFE NEWS ^ | Nov 5, 2019 | Steven Ertelt
    Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg says he will bring Christianity back to the White House. Not that Christiaity is lacking there but, if it were, how would Buttigieg do that when he fully supports infanticide and killing babies in abortions up to birth? That would put him more in league with King Herod than Jesus Christ. Buttigieg said: Faith doesn’t have to be something to divide us. First of all, we gotta recognize that one of those many values honored by our flag is the fact that it belongs to people of every religion and no religion equally; that’s a...

    Word Foundations ^ | B. Nathaniel Sullivan
    Social justice. We hear about it everywhere. The term seems so “user friendly.” It elicits positive emotions and vibes. Yet, as with so many other things, appearances can deceive. The fact that something glitters doesn’t necessarily mean it is gold. It might look good, but that doesn’t mean it’s of God. The way that looks right actually may lead to destruction. So it is with social justice. What Is Social Justice? In 2013, Dr. Calvin Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation wrote an excellent booklet in which he warned about the erroneous and perilous ideas promoted...

    SÃO PAULO, Brazil - A video posted on President Jair Bolsonaro’s Twitter account on Oct. 28 with attacks on several political parties, civil society organizations, media outlets and the local Catholic bishops’ conference spurred controversy in Brazil. The ninety-second-long clip shows a lion surrounded by hyenas trying to kill him. Over the head of the hyenas, there are logos and symbols of political parties - including Bolsonaro’s own Social Liberal Party, with which he has been in a dispute over leadership in the past weeks - social movements, newspapers and TV stations, and civil society organizations, such as the Brazilian...

    FULL TITLE: Abortion-Pill Mandate Heads Back to Supreme Court After Third Circuit Strikes Down Religious and Moral Exemption When the HHS abortion-pill mandate went into effect over eight years ago, the ACLJ filed the first lawsuit on behalf of a for-profit business challenging the mandate. We eventually brought suit on behalf of a total of thirty-two individuals and companies challenging the mandate in federal courts across the country. When the Supreme Court decided Hobby Lobby v. Burwell in 2014, one of the most important religious freedom cases ever decided by the Court, many thought that would be the end of...

    Vanity
    I read the other day that tens of millions of evangelical Christians did not vote in recent elections. I suspect that the reason is rooted in Romans 13:1-2, "All of you must obey those who rule over you. There are no authorities except the ones God has chosen. Those who now rule have been chosen by God. 2 So whoever opposes the authorities opposes leaders whom God has appointed. Those who do that will be judged." Fearful of God's judgment, I think many Christians accept that they must meekly bow to whatever political party is in power. However, in the...

    Israel is on high alert. Gas is now being produced off the shore of Israel and is changing the picture in the Middle East. Lebanon's government is collapsing and there is pressure within against Iran and Hezbellah. The true story of Trump's destruction of al-Baghdadi and why what appears in the press is not the full picture. Europe will probably now start buying Israeli natural gas and this will bring the trouble to the region that the Bible has foretold.

    LEXINGTON, Kentucky, November 1, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The Kentucky Supreme Court sided with a Christian print shop owner Thursday in his fight for his right not to create “gay pride” T-shirts. Blaine Adamson is the owner of Hands On Originals Christian Outfitters, a Lexington company that advertises "high quality, customized Christian apparel.” For the past several years, he has been fighting the Lexington Human Rights Commission over his polite refusal of the Gay and Lesbian Services Organization’s (now called the Pride Community Services Organization) request to print shirts for the Lexington Pride Festival.

  • Joe Biden was Refused Holy Communion, Should This Happen More Often?

    Townhall ^ | 11/02/2019 | Chris Salcedo
    The biased press is up in arms over the revelation that the Democrat’s alleged presidential front-runner, Joe Biden, was denied Holy Communion at a South Carolina Church. Biden was campaigning in the area and attended Mass, though given the Democrat Party’s values one wonders why, at Saint Anthony Catholic Church in Florence. The Rev. Robert Morey said Biden was refused the sacrament, that Catholics believe is the body, blood soul and divinity of Christ, because any "public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching." Father Morey is on solid liturgical ground in his commonsense...

    In Obama's first year in office, 68% of white Democrats described themselves as Christians, 7% claimed to be members of other faiths, and 24% said that they had no religious affiliation. A decade later, only 47% of white Democrats call themselves Christians. 10% are members of other faiths, and 42% have no religion. A majority of white Democrats have ceased to be Christian. The Obama era transformed the country and the party. It’s often observed that the Democrats of the JFK era are not the Democrats of today. But forget 1961, an era that is receding into the shadows of...

    WASHINGTON — Men and women who once identified as LGBT shared their personal stories of transformation with lawmakers Wednesday after the House passed a bill earlier this year that would bar citizens from accessing counseling and therapies for unwanted same-sex attraction. Dressed in black T-shirts emblazoned with the word "CHANGED," 16 formerly LGBT-identified persons from Church United and the CHANGED movement spoke at a joint news conference outside the U.S. capitol where they shared their stories with members of Congress and their staff, and urged senators not to support the so-called Equality Act if it's ever brought to the floor...
