The writer of Hebrews says to his readers, “By this time you ought to be teachers” (Hebrews 5:12). These are strong, bold words. Who exactly is the writer addressing here? In short, who is he rebuking? The book of Hebrews shows us he is speaking to believers who have been well-schooled in biblical truth. In other words, those reading this letter had sat under powerful preaching by many anointed ministers. Consider all that these Christians had been taught: They knew about Jesus’ high priesthood and his intercession for them at God’s throne. They knew of Jesus’s invitation to come boldly...

Jesus’ church is a place where sinners repent of sins, with their heart and their mouth. Indeed, the apostle Paul attests: “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:8-10). Simply put, we are brought to salvation through our open confession of...

Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.. One thing should be abundantly clear by now, after ten months of this pandemic: our political leaders hate us and they think we’re stupid. Nothing else can explain the blatant hypocrisy we’ve seen, mostly from Democrat governors and mayors who are eager to impose harsh lockdowns and strict rules for the public at large but then turn around and do whatever they please with their own families, friends, and cronies. Examples abound, but this week brought a fresh spectacle of hypocrisy in the form of a nervous, patently disingenuous apology from California Gov. Gavin Newsom,...

"By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac; and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son; it was he to whom it was said, 'In Isaac your descendants shall be called.' He considered that God is able to raise men even from the dead" (Heb. 11:17-19). A willingness to sacrifice something precious to you is proof of genuine faith. John Bunyan had a little blind daughter, for whom he had a special love. When he was imprisoned for preaching the gospel, he was deeply concerned about his family, especially that little girl....

It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.dailywire.com/news/americas-two-largest-republican-states-announce-they-will-have-no-more-lockdowns?%3Futm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dwtwitter Apparently both Desantis and Abbott say no more lockdowns now. I don’t believe this is an accurate representation of what is happening. I think Desantis removed mandates and rules and said there would be no more rules. Good for Florida. Abbott, on the other hand, is basically saying the rules won’t get any worse than they are now - BUT THE EXISTING MANDATES AND RULES HAVE NOT BEEN REMOVED. Not good enough from Texas. But I guess I should be happy that my master has said my situation won’t get worse. - https://www.axios.com/cdc-thanksgiving-travel-coronavirus-spread-48170cf3-8121-4bb5-bd37-2ddb507cdb55.html Covidiots...

Higher education might be the most pressing domestic issue confronting America today. As currently structured and carried out, higher education is a blight upon the nation -- an affirmative hindrance to our efforts in aiding human flourishing and securing the common good. It is possible that no propagated belief in modern American history has been more intellectually, experientially, and fiscally ruinous than the notion that a four-year bachelor's degree-bestowing bender is a necessary rite of passage for entering adulthood. Caviling about the systemic corruption of the academy is perhaps old hat. By the time William F. Buckley Jr. wrote "God...

Back in 2014, I worked freelance for a public relations firm in New York City. It was there that I met an unusual woman. I didn’t know many lawyers or Texans, but I knew better than to chalk up her qualities to either her profession or her home. It’s rare that I encounter someone who I’m afraid to argue with, because of her sheer brain power and towering personal rectitude. But this was such a person. This woman had quite a career behind her. An evangelical Christian, she’d been a federal prosecutor — and quit, outraged at the corruption she...

It’s body men for the everyman, not just high-profile politicians and celebs. I decided to test it out and hired a guard to meet me outside my apartment, on a busy corner in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. It was like booking an Uber, except in this case, I got a few pre-screening calls from HQ about any known threats (no) and whether I wanted my guy to be armed (yes). It felt top secret and cool, even though I knew our day’s itinerary would hardly approach “Zero Dark Thirty.” My guard, a 6-foot-1 dude named Ira, had spent most of his...

A prominent liberal legal academic who spent the last four years pushing outrageous, discredited, and debunked conspiracy theories about Donald Trump stealing the 2016 election said on Fox News Sunday that refusal to accept the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election threatens the country. “He is undermining democracy because there are millions of people who will believe him even though there is nothing to his arguments and no evidence to back them,” Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe said of President Trump’s litigation regarding the November election.

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department executed Orlando Cordia Hall on late Thursday for his role in the 1994 kidnapping and killing of a 16-year-old girl, after the Supreme Court cleared the way earlier in the night. His execution, by lethal injection at the penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind., was the eighth by the Trump administration since this summer, when it resumed use of capital punishment by the federal government after a 17-year hiatus. Mr. Hall, 49, was the first of three federal prisoners scheduled for execution during the presidential transition. President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. has said he will work...

The media is very, very worried, and it shows. – Rudy Giuliani’s hair dye ran down his face as he sweated through yesterday’s Democrat election fraud press conference, and that’s all the corrupt news media wants to talk about related to that event. Which means that the corrupt news media is really, really concerned about the substance of what Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis and the other attorneys who participated had to say. Rudy Giuliani gives voting fraud 'evidence' at odd press conference | Daily Mail Online This is Liberal Media Distraction 101: When you don’t want to report on...

The Founding Fathers told us how to solve contested elections. The rule of law is under attack in America. Evidence shows politicians are trying to transform the nation by emphasizing ends over means. Former United States federal prosecutor Sidney Powell claims to have evidence exposing large-scale voter fraud. During an interview with Fox Business, Powell said she had “staggering statistical evidence” that a leading voting machine firm, Dominion Voter Systems, stole votes from U.S. President Donald Trump. “Well, I can hardly wait to put forth all the evidence we have collected on Dominion, starting with the fact it was created...

While everyone is talking about the presidential election, one aspect of the 2020 race is being overlooked even though it’s huge. Not only did Republicans make considerable gains in the House, that no one expected, they won most of the races that will entail redistricting. This is like a double loss for Democrats Every 10 years, after the census, congressional and state legislature districts are redrawn to account for population changes. This gives whoever is drawing the maps the power to maximize the number of districts that favor their party — a tactic known as gerrymandering. And as we wrote...

Ramsland Jr.'s affidavit: Looking at the vote count with decimal places enabled, the Dominion machines were giving out percentages of a vote. Only way this happens is if the "Ranked Choice Voting Algorithm" is enabled, which allows an operator to select a winner before the count starts. Go to link for copy of the affidavit.

Secular liberals have a serious problem with any commingling of church and state ... at least when the church in question opposes their most precious and permissive causes, like the right to abort unborn babies, the right to subsidized contraceptives, and the right to invent your own genders and pronouns. But when a church gives off a whiff of "progressive" ideology or theology, well, that's a different matter entirely. Religion then becomes a qualification, not a disqualification. This was encapsulated in a tweet by Sam Stein of the Daily Beast: "Why are Raphael Warnock's faith and sermons fair game for...

WASHINGTON, Monday, Nov. 19. A distinguished Southern Senator, now in this city, not only denies the right of secession, but thinks that President BUCHANAN is at fault in not giving the refractory States to understand at once that the whole power of the Federal Government will be used to sustain and preserve the Union. The speech of Mr. RHETT, in which he says that Gen. LANE had tendered the services of himself and sons to South Carolina in the event of secession difficulties, is being much commented on in political circles here. Q. WASHINGTON, Monday, Nov. 19. The President has...

Another brilliant mind on the Internet revealed how votes were shifted from President Trump to Biden in the 2020 election. This Internet sleuth shared his results on Twitter. This is what the Trump team just announced today at their press conference! An expert on twitter with the name @redpillx2 shared his results on Twitter on how the 2020 election was fixed for Joe Biden. We agree with his overall thesis – this is 2020 – the major election fraud occurred in the data maintained and massaged within the voting system. Looking at dead people voting is good, but the gorilla...

On top of his 4 years of lying about Russia collusion, Schiff is shamelessly appearing on the go-to Democrat cable news channels to indict Trump for daring to suggest any cheating took place, For four years, Adam Schiff knowingly lied to the American people in his quest to destroy the Trump presidency. He very likely knew from the outset that the allegations he pushed were fabricated by Hillary Clinton, that the dossier was commissioned and paid for by Hillary Clinton and her party, and that every word of it was a lie. Part and parcel of the Russia hoax was...

Our cleaner watches Euronews in French while she cleans downstairs and I happened to see this come up. I got out my phone and waited to see it again.

2020 is the “Year of the Republican Woman.” As of this writing, 30 Republican women—new and returning members—will serve in the House of Representatives. There’s also another Republican woman to watch in the 117th Congress: Senator-elect Cynthia Lummis (R-WY). From 2009 to 2017, Lummis was Wyoming's At-Large Representative and served on several House Committees (including Natural Resources and Appropriations). Regarding her return to D.C., the fourth-generation rancher remarked, “I'm really looking forward to being in the Senate because they take the long-term view. And a lot of the issues that I am interested in, require that long term.” Tackling the...
