  • May 17, 2026🙏 - Almighty God Save Americans, Then Save America!

    05/16/2026 10:15:30 AM PDT · by The Ignorant Fisherman · 4 replies
    Today's America is an EXPONENTIAL lawless swamp; full of demonic alligators, demonic tyranny, and demonic strongholds; oppressing, enslaving, and chaining millions (Eph.6:12). O that America would cry out to their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator for ETERNAL salvation and deliverance from His RIGHTEOUS judgment (John 3:16-17, 36)! Our cry as blood-bought saints to America is not, "God bless America", but "God SAVE Americans!" Almighty God’s Word states overabundantly and emphatically that it is Jesus ALONE that rescues, saves, and delivers one's soul from ETERNAL ruin (John 3:16-17, 14:6, Acts 4:12, 16:29-31)! We pray for Americans every day that this nation’s inhabitants would...
  • President Trump’s Greatest Last Day American Calling - May 17th 2026

    05/16/2026 9:48:39 AM PDT · by The Ignorant Fisherman · 4 replies
    My fellow Americans; President Trump - in all humility and with black sackcloth before the Most High God - needs to call on Almighty God publicly and nationally with ALL fear and reverence on behalf of our nation to repent and seek Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS! That to me is his greatest calling as today’s last days American president and our nation’s total last line of defense against the fall of America and the total takeover of the horrific demonic powers that be (1 Kings 8:12-53, Neh. 9, Dan. 9:1-20; Hosea 4:6; Mic. 7:18). Dear friends; sadly I truly believe...
  • Catholic diocese fighting Trump admin. plan to acquire land for border security wall

    Christian Post ^ | 05/15/2026 | Michael Gryboski
    A Catholic diocese in New Mexico is challenging an effort by the Trump administration to seize part of its southern border property through eminent domain for the construction of a border security wall. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces filed a complaint against the federal government over plans to acquire roughly 14 acres of diocesan land for border security purposes. Filed last week, the lawsuit argues that the proposed land seizure would interfere with access to Mount Cristo Rey, a popular pilgrimage site featuring a 29-foot-tall statue of Jesus Christ overlooking the border region. Located near the borders of...

    Desiring God ^ | 2022 | John Piper
    So my burden is to join forces with the Bible (as I understand it), and millions of faithful Christians, to encourage and nurture a faithful Christian identity that will survive and thrive with faith and hope and joy and love and purity, whether America survives, or Brazil survives, or Britain survives, or China survives, or Russia survives, or India survives — or not. Jesus said to Pilate, “My kingdom is not of this world… From which I infer that we’d better be very, very careful before we undertake any processes that involve force or coercion to put the kingdom of...
  • SAFE SIN

    05/14/2026 6:02:36 PM PDT · by The Ignorant Fisherman · 26 replies
    How Safe is Sin? Consider today’s message: "It is all right to sin as long as you practice SAFE SIN. Drunkenness is OK as long as someone sober drives you home. Narcotics are OK as long as you use clean needles. Sexual deviation is OK since it exists, and so it should be approved. Promiscuity is OK as long as you take safe precautions. It is all right to sin, but please, play it SAFE!" The Bible gives the true perspective: "Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death ....
  • Satan's Last Days War on Women

    05/14/2026 5:47:06 PM PDT · by The Ignorant Fisherman · 9 replies
    My dear friend, Satan is no dope or buffoon. He is a diabolical genius who fully comprehends the inner workings of Adam’s fallen race and knows how to perfectly play humanity like a fiddle to fulfill all of his demonic anti-God agenda (Isa. 14:12-15, Matt. 4:9, Eph. 2:2-3, Rev. 13:4). He is a human hunter and a destroyer and knows exactly what bait to use to bring down a culture and society which has had the Bible and Almighty God in its beginnings and founding (John 8:44). As one reads through the biblical account of Adam’s fallen race one satanic...
  • The Demonic Sexual Possession of America - John 8:34

    05/14/2026 5:24:04 PM PDT · by The Ignorant Fisherman · 6 replies
    Lucifer is the despotic tyrant and oppressor of all of Adam’s fallen race. He fully understands the behavior of his unregenerate human slaves (Eph. 2:1-3; Heb. 2:14-15), and he is the “supreme hunter” of souls (Isa. 14:16-17; Ezek. 28:19; Luke 4:5-6; 2 Cor. 4:34; 1 Peter 5:8). Satan fully comprehends the fallen nature of humanity and our sensual desires, which are governed and dominated by our five physical senses. He fully knows how to manipulate, entice, bait, snare, and catch his prey for his twisted godless will (Eph. 6:11-12). He has been an “active observer” of the transgressions of humanity...

    The U.S. government “disclosure” of files related to UFOs commenced on Friday. I had predicted the day before that the results would be a letdown, and so far, that has proven to be the case. If you’re impressed by more of the familiar grainy, black-and-white images of dancing specks in the sky, then you will be impressed by what we saw Friday.Adding to my own feeling of being underwhelmed is the fact that little that’s “known” about UFOs has changed much in 70+ years. A 1958 work by psychologist Carl Jung, Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in...

    [Catholic Caucus] Pope Leo to October Meeting of Marxist Revolutionaries: “I am here. I am with you.”Since 2014, there have been 5 meetings of Popular Movements sponsored by the Vatican in various locations. The first was held in the Vatican. The second in Bolivia. The third was again held in the Vatican. The fourth was a virtual meeting held online. And in October of 2025, the Vatican again hosted the World Meeting of Popular Movements, and for the first time without Pope Francis.The Lepanto Institute has just finished an in-depth analysis of the nature of the World Meeting of Popular...

    There’s an old joke about people who do CrossFit, and it goes something like this: “How do you know when someone does CrossFit? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you!” If you’ve ever encountered an enthusiastic CrossFitter, you know why this joke is so humorous. It seems that all they can talk about is CrossFit and how it has changed their lives. And to a certain extent it has. It has allowed them to train their bodies to maximum effectiveness. The interesting part is that CrossFit’s success is less about some revolutionary training regimen and more about the positive vision it casts...

  • What Do You Love More; America or THE LORD JESUS? My Jesus Tis of Thee (Sung to; My Country Tis of Thee)

    05/12/2026 7:29:52 AM PDT · by The Ignorant Fisherman · 14 replies
    Dear friend, who or what do you personally agape love more: America or the LORD JESUS CHRIST? Seems like a simple enough question, but many agape love this nation and its temporal place in time on this passing world stage more than the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and ETERNAL PROPITIATION and SAVIOR of their souls (Matt. 10:37-38, John 3:16-17, Heb. 1:2-3; 1 John 4:10). When we agape love Jesus more than anyone or any nation, we can only ever be the best citizen while on the pilgrim road. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” (Matthew 6:21)....
  • When AI Becomes The Pastor: Christians Turning To Algorithms For Spiritual Truth

    PNW ^ | 05/11/2026
    The rise of artificial intelligence was supposed to change how we work, shop, search and communicate. Few imagined it would also begin reshaping how young people pray, seek wisdom and understand God. Yet that is exactly where society now finds itself. A growing number of young Christians are no longer just using AI to summarize homework assignments or generate social media captions -- they are turning to it for spiritual counsel, moral guidance and even emotional reassurance once sought from pastors, parents or Scripture itself. And the numbers are startling. New research from the Barna Group found that nearly one-third...

    PNW ^ | 05/11/2026
    The United States is experiencing a quiet but profound shift in spiritual leadership—one that is reshaping who leads congregations, how they lead, and whether many churches will have leaders at all. Across denominations, the data points in one direction: fewer people are entering pastoral ministry, more are leaving it, and those who remain are carrying heavier emotional, financial, and cultural burdens than ever before. At the same time, the face of leadership is changing, with women now representing an all-time high share of clergy in the United States, which for many conservatives shows a much deeper theological and institutional rupture....

    ...In recent months, we have witnessed profound changes within Iranian church communities. Many who once participated in worship with passion are now wrestling with difficult questions, doubts, and even despair. Some have distanced themselves from the church, others are experiencing spiritual burnout, and many quietly carry the burden of grief and concern for their loved ones in Iran. A pressing question has emerged in many hearts: “How is it that we are under pressure from the Iranian government, and at the same time, this conflict has brought us no hope or relief?” These questions are real and cannot simply be...

    Anticipation of a forthcoming U.S. government “disclosure” on alien life is everywhere in the media.President Trump has ordered a full release of files on UFOs. This week, FBI director Kash Patel said, “You’re going to start seeing those releases literally happening in the very near future. We just met on it.” Where do language-based code, computer-like information processing, or machines come from? In our experience, they have only one known cause: intelligence. The existence of ET life wouldn’t prove unguided, purposeless naturalistic evolution—it would provide another example to doubt it.Some, including Dawkins himself, have speculated that life on Earth could...

    CASPER — Father Chad Ripperger fits a familiar Western mold — up to a point. He fly-fishes. He shoots powerful handguns. He enjoys aged Scotch and expensive cigars. But the familiarity ends there. Ripperger is one of the Roman Catholic Church’s most experienced and well-known exorcists. A native of Casper, Wyoming, he is a founding priest of the Society of the Most Sorrowful Mother, the first Catholic society chartered exclusively for the work of exorcism under the authority of the Archdiocese of Denver. Within what the Church calls “spiritual warfare,” Ripperger’s outfit is something like a SEAL Team 6 —...
  • Only a Remnant of Godly Mothers Left in America

    05/09/2026 5:26:38 PM PDT · by The Ignorant Fisherman · 6 replies
    It is the godly God-fearing mother that is crucially needed in our land today, and her absence has been greatly felt. Lawlessness, lewdness, violence, rebellious children, and narcissism are EXPONENTIAL today, and their effects have EXPONENTIALLY ravaged culture, society, people, and land! Godly mothers are absolutely crucial to any society in this fallen world, and Satan knows it (Prov. 31:10-31). Almighty God cannot praise the godly enough, and her role is absolutely key for preserving her children, family, society, and nation from the ravaging effects of this fallen world’s lawless state (Rom. 1:18-32). The godly mother is one who is...
