The apostle Paul declares, “But what does it [scripture] say? ‘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. For the scripture says, ‘Whoever believes on him will not be put to shame’” (Romans 10:8-11, NKJV). Simply put, we are brought to salvation through...

From the beginning of creation there was a darkness, a void. God created light to separate the light from the darkness. Satan started as an angel, but his jealousy and refusal to put himself under the light caused him to make war against God. He was cast out of the holiness of heaven and sent to wander the earth. Mankind was given authority over the earth by His Creator, to have dominion and primacy over it as a caretaker and it was good. In a cunning plan, Satan thought if he could get man to sin based on his advice,...

VIDEOThe FBI is now a Jussie Smollett operation. What I mean is the agency seems to have developed a specialty in faking incidents of racial terror and then "solving them"--all to foster a false narrative for which there is no actual evidence.

CNN contributor Van Jones reacted with emotion Friday on “Newsroom” to the 22-and-a-half year sentence of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. Discussing how with good behavior, Chauvin is likely to serve closer to 15 years, Senior legal analyst Elie Honig said, “Justice is imperfect. This is a serious sentence. Derek Chauvin will be in prison for 15 years. He’s 45 now until he’s 60. That said, I think this is light. I think the judge should’ve sentenced him more. Minnesota guidelines say you can double the 15 years if there is one aggravator. This judge found four...

Another school board has decided that honors classes will have to be done away with … in the name of “equity and inclusion.” According to The Globe and Mail, the Vancouver School Board declared its math and science honors courses “do not comply” with the district’s goal of “ensuring that all students can participate in every aspect of the curriculum.” The district said in a statement that its revised curriculum requires “an inclusive model of education” so “all students will be able to participate in the curriculum fulsomely.” Yeah, I had to look that last word up too. This is...

My parents are both passed. They were born in the 1920’s, Dad served in WW2 and Mom worked at Bell Telephone. She also had 13 kids and became an RN, but that is another story.

Mom said she remembers as a little girl with nothing to eat, she would sometimes chew the edge of a pencil just to satisfy the need to chew. Dad also experienced the lack of food and till his last day, never let any food go to waste. Found out after his...

The city is Satan's demonic concentration camps where He through his godless and lawless minions seek to destroy, indoctrinate and corrupt the nations (Eph. 2:1-2). History testifies to this reality! As we see our cities today here in America super abounding in growing EXPONENTIAL lawlessness and godlessness we know that it cannot be too long for our nation. This Moody Science video called “Empty Cities” is a power testimony to the world in which we live in today. Done in the early 60’s before prayer was removed from school; look how far we have fallen as a nation since then!...

The U.S. government can't explain 143 of the 144 cases of unidentified flying objects reported by military planes, according to a highly anticipated intelligence report released Friday. [snip] "In a limited number of incidents, UAP reportedly appeared to exhibit unusual flight characteristics. These observations could be the result of sensor errors, spoofing, or observer misperception and require additional rigorous analysis," the report said. The report does not mention aliens or even vaguely hint at an extraterrestrial explanation for the reported sightings, but makes clear that much of the phenomena may be beyond the existing means the government has to identify...

Beloved; May we truly - with all our being - desire what Almighty God desires for us. May we want to know, possess and exercise the wondrous will of Almighty God; which He has provided for us by the shed blood of His dear Son (Eph. 2:14). As we walk in time, may we - who know the Savior - seek to enjoy our redemptive benefits which have been given to us by our God and Savior (1 Cor. 1:30, Eph. 1:3, 2:1-19, Phil. 4:17, Col. 3:1-4) and the heavenly peace of heart that comes with the fact and reality...

Parliamentarians blacklist pro-lifers worldwide BRUSSELS (ChurchMilitant.com) - A group of European parliamentarians is painting pro-lifers as extremists in an effort to make abortion a human right across the globe. The European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights released this month an investigative report into pro-life funding in Europe. The forum, known as the EPF, published its report, called "Tip of the Iceberg," on June 15, less than two weeks before Thursday's parliamentary vote on sexual and reproductive rights. The EPF's investigation discredits dozens of Christian and human rights organizations, labeling them "anti-gender funding actors active in Europe." The EPF...

While delivering remarks at the Reagan Presidential Library in California, former Vice President Mike Pence said he would “always be proud” that he certified the fraudulent electoral college votes of Joe Biden on January 6, a move that legal experts say was an outright betrayal of President Donald Trump, the Constitution of the United States, and the American people.

What is left to say at this point when it comes to that “Hermit Kingdom” everyone loves to hate? North Korea, or also known as the so-called Democratic People’s Republic, is the ultimate Pandora’s Box and every president’s worst nightmare: A-bombs, chemical toxins, biological weapons, and missiles to lob them all over the world—including now at the continental United States. And Pyongyang knows how to get the news cycle to turn its way—thanks to making Northeast Asia shake with nuclear weapons tests.

ABC News continued its tendency to ignore (or almost ignore) the controversy over Vice President Kamala Harris waiting for more than 90 days to visit the border after being handed the border "issue" by President Biden. On Friday night's newscast, David Muir offered just 13 seconds to the story. It's 43 boring words. Blink, and you might miss it. The word "illegal" is nowhere to be found. The PBS NewsHour disposed of the matter in 58 seconds in its "news wrap." Anchor Judy Woodruff reported "Vice President Harris visited the U.S. Southern border today for the first time since taking...

Recently, three major summits in the Western world—those of the G-7 (Group of Seven), NATO, and the U.S.–EU—have been held back-to-back, highlighting a significant strategic shift to confront the systemic threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). If 2020 was a year marked by a pandemic ravaging the world and the emergence of a new Cold War between the United States and China, 2021 will be one in which a strategic reorganization is being forged in the West to fight communist China. Since the start of 2021, the CCP has become more bluntly assertive in advancing its global ambitions—by...
