Two and a half years ago, Episcopal Bishop of New York Andrew M.L. Dietsche reminded a group of clergy of the ugly history of their diocese. Not only was slavery deeply embedded in the life and economy of colonial New York, but Episcopal churches across the state often participated in it. Church founders, churchgoers and even churches themselves had enslaved people. “The Diocese of New York played a significant, and genuinely evil, part in American slavery,” Dietsche said during his November 2019 address. “We must make, where we can, repair.” After his speech at the diocese’s annual convention, the clergy...

FORTRESS MONROE, Tuesday, April 1. The gunboat Seminole arrived here this afternoon from Port Royal, bringing dates to Saturday last. Fort Pulaski had been thoroughly invested for thirty days, and was momentarily expected to surrender. It was said that about 500 rebels were in Pulaski, and that they had offered to go out with the honors of war, but that Gen. SHERMAN demanded an unconditional surrender, and would, on the 1st of April, open are on the fort if they still refused to yield it. The rebels had withdrawn all their forces from the coast of Georgia, and had abandoned...

Many have written about the possible prophetic significance of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but what strikes me the most is the devaluing of human life that’s evident on both sides of this conflict. I realize that such disregard for life has been a part of wars throughout history; it’s full of genocidal accounts committed by evil people yielded to the devil. Who else could inspire such atrocities? What we see today is worse than anything before because the devaluing of human life is more widespread than ever before. The numbers of abortions that happen each year worldwide are staggering; the...

Germany’s lockdown-loving health minister still wants compulsory vaccination to be implemented despite parliament not supporting the measure. Health Minister Karl Lauterbach is reportedly still hoping to legally force everyone over the age of 18 in the European Union member-state to get vaccinated against the Chinese coronavirus. This is despite the fact that there is now a significant lack of support for such forced vax measures in the country, with politicians in the thought-policing nation now looking at implementing different methods to tackle the disease. In an interview posted by public broadcaster Deutschlandfunk, Lauterbach made clear that his dream scenario...

A gunman has opened fire outside a restaurant in downtown Sacramento, killing at least six people and injuring nearly a dozen others, local officials and witnesses say. The suspect – whose identity was not immediately known – fled the scene. The incident occurred at 2 a.m. on Sunday when police officers were called for an active shooter in the area of 10th Street and K Street in downtown Sacramento. It happened shortly after the last call for bars in the area.

Reports from Thursday's newswire suggest the weight of the evidence against a couple of very high-profile Democrats is finally swinging the discussion of their corrupt actions, even in the media, to the side of the righteous.

Recently, while working on the third novel, MESSIAH, following the first, REVELATIONS, and the second, MICHAEL, I was caught up in thinking how near the Rapture must be. I tried to get my mind around how near we might be to the time Israel will fall for the False Messiah, Antichrist. The words of Winston Churchill came to mind in his 1942 speech at Mansion House in London. England had just survived Hitler’s Blitz and the horrific bombing. Rommel’s tank onslaught in Egypt had just been routed by the forces of Great Britain and others at Alamein. People wanted to...

Paris (AFP) – A loosely federated network of scientists in more than two dozen countries plan acts of civil disobedience starting this week to highlight the climate crisis, members of Scientist Rebellion told AFP. Their non-violent actions are timed to the release Monday of a landmark report from the UN's climate science advisory panel laying out options for slashing carbon pollution and controversial schemes for extracting CO2 from the air, they said in interviews. Scientist Rebellion targets universities, research institutes and major scientific journals, prodding them and their staff to speak out more forcefully on what they describe as the...

“‘For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished’” (Matthew 5:18). To be a follower of Jesus Christ is to accept what He says about Scripture and to wholeheartedly echo Peter’s sentiment: “You have words of eternal life” (John 6:68). The privilege of knowing Christ and His Word also carries with it certain essential obligations. First, we must receive God’s Word exactly for what it is, “the word implanted, which is able to save your souls” (James 1:21). We should be completely...

In 2 Timothy 4:10, Paul writes, “For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica.” Demas used to travel with Paul. How would you travel with Paul and see the miracles and hear that man preach and then forsake him? The Bible clearly says, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). There is no holding pattern with God. You may start the race, but you still have to finish too. That’s not legalism;...

An embattled foreign country is providing lessons to learn for an America stuck in a rising tide of crime. Last week, following a wave of terror attacks and murder of Israelis, Prime Minister Bennett publicly encouraged Israel’s private gun-owners to have their weapons with them at all times. In addition, the government added emergency funding to boost the law enforcement budget, and law enforcement is actively pursuing all terror elements with alacrity. Further, many among Israeli’s military, which includes most 19- to 22-year-olds, are carrying their weapons off-base. The terrorists have been eliminated in a couple of cases by private...

With Russia’s central bank having just profoundly altered the international trade and monetary system by linking the Russian ruble to both gold and commodities, journalists in Moscow asked me to write a Q and A article on what these developments mean, and the ramifications of these changes on the Russian ruble, the US dollar, the gold price and the global system of currencies. This article has been published on the RT.com website here.Since RT.com is now blocked and censored in many Western locations such as the EU, UK, US and Canada, and since many readers may not be able to...

How Will I Teach My Grandchildren What Is Right When I Was Wrong So Often? By Cory Franklin “Everything I was sure, or was taught to be sure, was impossible has happened” — Winston Churchill Looking back now, I ask myself: How could I have been so wrong about so many things? I was wrong about: Patriotism and love for your country, no matter what its faults. In grade school, I learned the famous quotation, “My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.” That was the appropriate quote, not the...

We are increasingly seeing a new term being used by thinking writers when it comes to both global and national politics. What is it, and how should we look at it? The term The Big Picture basically answers the question: “If we continue to follow this societal, economical, and cultural path, where do we end up as a society?” In reverse, you can use the concept to define the desired end state and work backward to see the necessary steps to attain it. There are two Big Pictures at play in America today, and they are totally incompatible. I call...

Odessa (Ukraine) (AFP) – Air strikes rocked Ukraine's strategic Black Sea port of Odessa early Sunday, AFP reporters said, but there were no casualties, according to the army. The Russian defence ministry confirmed the strike.

At least three huge columns of black smoke and flames rose into the sky over an industrial zone. The rocket attacks came as...

Obamacare costs have more than tripled since its passage, according to a market observer. That's Joe Biden's 'big f---ing deal.' This wouldn't exactly be news to anyone who has to buy Obamacare health care insurance... But for perspective, here's the latest on the 2010 government health care takeover that had been so vaunted in the press as Your-Government-Here-To-Help: (tweet at link) Tripled? We've got 7.9% inflation at last count, so this 'tripling,' even over the course of 12 years, with compounding increments, tops that. So much for President Obama's claim that his signature health care bill would cut insurance costs...
