The distinction between saving faith and sanctifying faith is rarely made in sermons. We are called to receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Receiving Jesus as Savior and Lord of our lives is a giant step. Through His grace alone and with the faith He has given us, we choose against the path of self, and enter the “pilgrim’s progress” towards our Heavenly Home with Jesus as our Hope, our Savior, and our Guide. He tells us to follow Him, not simply to adopt His name, but follow our own whims and desires.

Will the Jews keep the Torah and follow it in the Messianic era if Christians say the Law is dead?

Cuba's electrical grid collapsed again on Sunday, the fourth such failure in 48 hours as a looming hurricane threatened to wreak further havoc on the island's decrepit infrastructure. Cuba earlier on Sunday had said it was making headway restoring service after multiple false starts, though millions of people remained without electricity more than two days after the grid's initial collapse. "Restoration work began immediately," the country's energy and mines ministry said on X. The clock was ticking as Hurricane Oscar bore down on the Caribbean island on Sunday, bringing strong winds and rain to northeastern Cuba and threatening to further...

In his letters to the Thessalonians, the apostle Paul identifies two groups: brothers who have a hope and others who have no hope (1 Thess. 4:13); those who are sons of light and those who are sons of darkness (1 Thess. 5:5). Brothers owe their standing to the grace of God, who “did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thess. 5:9). By that grace they “turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead,...

As far back as 2019, Hallmark sparked controversy when homosexual activists began a crusade insisting that Hallmark stop trying to instill traditional conservative family values and start promoting sexual aberrancy in their Christmas movie line-up. The Dissenter covered the saga as Hallmark took heat for playing an ad with lesbians kissing and then took more heat when removing the ad.LGBTQ Nation—a pro-sodomy propaganda website—called on the Lifetime and Hallmark channels to produce and run queer romance movies for Christmas as part of a “diversity” campaign this season. After all, these channels even have movies produced for the “black community” and...

When you look closely, you begin to realize that international banking interests drive American fiscal and social policies in a carefully orchestrated approach. Since the early 1990s, American media companies have consolidated under huge multi-national corporations, and these corporations manage the overall media narrative on a quarterly basis. In effect, the United States Federal Reserve Board and a handful of outside interests systematically program the thought processes of the average American with carefully managed scripts. News these days is far more propaganda than news.Entertainment media also follows a similar agenda, albeit on annual or five-year schedules.

New York CNN — A billboard truck drove near Harvard’s campus Wednesday displaying the names and photos of Harvard students whose organizations signed a statement blaming solely Israel for the deadly attacks by Hamas. The “doxxing truck” appeared days after the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups, a coalition of Harvard student groups, earlier this week released a statement that held “the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” following the attacks by Hamas that have killed more than 1,200 Israelis and more than 25 American citizens. More than 1,400 in Gaza have also been killed since Israel started strikes on...

Everybody I talk to feels a gnawing tingle of dread in their livers and lights as our world tilts into the season of darkness. The Party of Chaos rules solely on the basis of insults to its citizens. They are certainly trying to provoke something like civil war, something they can label “white supremacy,” as if that would justify declaring a state of siege — an emergency suspension of rights to speak, to move, to assemble, to resist the sticky pseudopods of the malevolent Blob that Washington has become. These insults are all obvious untruths, and behind them, you can...

In our own time, Oneism–the pagan and occult pantheist antithesis of the Word of God–remains substantially unchanged from what they was in Paul’s time:“Paul was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place every day with those who happened to be present. And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. Some were saying, “What would this idle babbler wish to say?” Others, “He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities,” – because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection. And they took him and brought him...

think the New Age is more of a problem for the church than atheism, because it is spiritually driven. It’s harder to introduce atheism into the church, but New Age practices and language are everywhere. Heiser

Though names have changed over time and new members added, it remains the case that behind the murderous satanic Soviet Union, Hitler’s occult National Socialist Reich, the ongoing destruction of the West, redistribution of its wealth, replacement of Westerners and Americans with Muslims and South Americans, and the still unfolding mRNA injection catastrophe, is a powerful financial coterie of ‘elite’ Luciferian Global and national progressives and like- minded travelers committed to a mystical pantheist New World Order, apotheosis, self-empowerment, revolution and genocide. From the turn of the century till now, the coterie has been financing catastrophic worldwide wars, revolutions and...

It’s kind of an unspoken rule among faithful Christian writers and patriots: If you aren’t getting denounced by the usual suspects, you’re likely not doing things right. Nothing lifts my spirits more than when Right Wing Watch excerpts one of my choicest moments on The Eric Metaxas Show. When I see a group targeted by the Southern Poverty Law Center, its odds of getting a check from me shoot through the roof. I wear my permanent Twitter ban like a Bronze Star for combat.

MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch said Thursday on “Morning Joe” that 2024 hopeful Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was the “prince of darkness” while discussing the governor’s wrapping Pride Month campaign video. Deutsch said, “Well, first of all, DeSantis is flailing. He is trying to continually move to the right of Trump. This LGBTQ thing is just — do you think this is moving voters? Are you really going to to paint Trump as a patron of this group?” He continued, “You know, as an ad guy, there is one thing I learned over the years is people aren’t stupid. I don’t...

God understands that—if we’re not deliberate—we are capable of imagining countless scenarios in which relationships fracture and bad things happen. So He built into His Word instructions for recognizing and overcoming the inclination to let our minds run away with us.These battles in our minds are actually a normal part of Christian experience. In 2 Corinthians 10, Paul speaks about this very vividly. In verse three he says:“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.”Paul says we are living physical bodies in a material world.

An anonymous Utah parent has requested for the Bible to be removed from the Davis School District, complaining about its “pornographic” content.The parent is exercising his or her right under a new Utah law that allows materials to be challenged or reported as indecent. If the text includes sexual acts, that book is to be immediately removed from school shelves. New reports say the parent included an eight-page document that cited offensive passages with rape, incest, sex, and nudity examples in the Bible for the school board to review.

Though our so-called enlightened society would like to deny it, the evil intentions of a sinful heart and soul are responsible for wicked behavior. “From their callous hearts comes iniquity” (Psalm 73:7). Since the fall of mankind in the garden, sin has plagued the human race, every person of every generation. We are born separated and alienated from a holy God who hates every form of evil. We are sinners who have fallen far short of the glory of God.

Everything that preceded the 2020 federal election was a complex system of control by a network of ideologues, federal agencies, allies in the private sector, financial stakeholders and corrupt interests all working toward a common goal. There’s no need to go through the background of how the election was manipulated and how the government and private sector, specifically social media, worked to influence the 2020 outcome because you have all seen it.

The conquering power of evil is on the increase. This is characteristic of the last times. Innocent babies are now not even allowed to be born, so corrupted are the moral standards. Or if born, no one educates them, so desolate are studies. Or if trained, no one enforces the training, so impotent are the laws. In fact, the case for modesty . . . has in our time become an obsolete subject.1

Hundreds of Satanists will converge in Boston's Copley Square at the end of April for the second annual SatanCon. But they aren't coming to worship the devil. With over 800 registered attendees, organizers say they're expecting it to be the largest ever gathering of Satanists, accompanied by protests of conservative and Christian groups from across the country. The event has been widely covered in conservative media, including Fox News. Online protesters like televangelist John Ramirez say the Satanic Temple, the organization hosting the convention, exists "so demons and spirits can work in the atmosphere ... to really bring destruction to...
