JD Greear, an unqualified pastor of Summit Church in Raleigh, North Carolina and the illegitimate third-term president of the Southern Baptist Convention has announced his intentions to hijack the traditionally conservative annual March for Life in Washington D.C. and turn it into a pro-social justice movement. Evangelical leftists, led by leftist Democrats such as Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and The Gospel Coalition founder, Tim Keller, have been trying to hijack the pro-life movement for years. Dubbing the movement “pro-life from womb to tomb” basically discards the traditional anti-abortion movement and replaces it with...

We have a statue called Lady Liberty; she was the welcoming sign to America for immigrants for more than a century. She welcomed people telling them “you are no longer adrift on a restless sea”. We had a president who carried a torch for America to make it great. Like many men, despite his past, he had a light in his heart for God and he carried a torch to illuminate what our nation could be, should be. Evil winds were constantly blowing at his torch to extinguish his flame. But when you try to blow out one man's torch,...

Considered one of the five greatest Senators in U.S. history, Daniel Webster's statue stands in the U.S. Capitol's Statuary Hall, placed there by the State of New Hampshire. His career spanned almost four decades, serving as Secretary of State for Presidents William Harrison, John Tyler and Millard Fillmore. Daniel Webster was born JANUARY 18, 1782, on a farm in New Hampshire. He attended Dartmouth College, the 9th-oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. It was founded in 1769 by the Great Awakening preacher Rev. Eleazar Wheelock to educate Native Americans in the Christian faith and train Congregationalist Christian...

Link: An alert to be discerning of disinformation.

This country has fallen into sad times. The Barbarians have breached the gate, and taken control of the most powerful country the world has ever known. In this post I offer 12 things we can be assured of will happen. I asked this same question a week ago. Well this past weekend the persecution, from the Democrat Socialists and their elitists friends, has already begun. So what are we, as freedom loving Americans, planning on doing about it? My fighting side wants us to take up arms and fight till the death to stop that which we all fear is...

God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 139 O Lord, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You [a]comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. 5 You have [b]hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot...

As Follower's of the Christ, we are citizens of heaven, sojourning in the tempest and terrain of an earthly kingdom that is troubled and tainted by sin, we look ahead to the coming Day of the Lord. In the meantime, while here we go about the business of living and loving each other, family and people we interact with. We have been building an addition to our home, a south facing sun room with lots of windows and glass doors. The sounds of my husband's nail gun nearly shook the screws of my sanity loose! The noise has quieted, the...

As barely a Christian myself (i.e., spiritual but not into the rites), I can hardly lay claim to a detailed understanding of Jewish customs/stories. However, the idea of Passover might be useable here in regards to Beijing Biden being sworn in on Jan 20. As many of you might know (e.g., perhaps only from movies) during the original Passover Jewish households painted lamb’s blood on their entryways to “ask” God’s plagues to “pass over this place”. How about on Jan 20 we all place an upside down US flag near our entryway, or in a window? In effect, asking that...

The GOP and conservative establishment proved themselves as worthless as the venal, do-nothing rulers in Saigon, who let the Communists win.My political journey began in Spring 1975. Just ten years old, I’d watched with mounting horror as the Communist forces of North Vietnam conquered the South. Meanwhile our vindictive, post-Watergate Congress refused further aid. On April 30, the invaders overran Saigon. I will never forget the spectacle of US helicopters pulling out of our embassy. Or the rooftops crowded with desperate American allies clutching at the landing gear. In subsequent months, the “Boat People” fleeing Communist cruelty started washing up...

In 1479, the kingdoms of Castile and Aragón were united under the joint rule of the ‘Christian Monarchs’, Ferdinand of Aragón and Isabella of Castile. The inter-Christian rivalry that had crippled the Christian kingdoms’ war against the Muslims for the last hundred years was, supposedly, over. A shrinking economy within the Emirate of Granada and the erosion of their territory in the first half of the 15th century had fostered increased xenophobia amongst the Muslim population and a consequent lack of tolerance towards the few Christians that remained or visited the Emirate. This provided the Christian Monarchs with a religious...

Recently our family was having a birthday celebration for our granddaughter. As she begins to leave the shelter of childhood that we have kept her warmly wrapped in, I spend time telling her that as changes come, God will make a way for her to have what she needs by memorizing scripture. “Thy Word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you”. “In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths”. As my grand daughter enters more relationships we are ready to be there for her. Since we have already walked down...

Dear Friends, as some of you will know: my twin brother Thomas has been dangerously ill for many days with COVID. I posted a prayer thread, and you were very generous with your prayers. Thank you! Well now to this current thread. Tom has been on an intubator for a week. Today they drained his lungs and discovered lung scarring (fibrosis). They have taken him off intubation to see if he can breath without it. They put him onto an oxygen pressure mask. His O2 sats went down. They moved him to a ventilator: his oxygen seemed promising on the...

Orsen Welles once caused a massive panic by airing a radio show depicting an alien invasion. The power of suggestion was strong enough to make some people commit suicide and it took days for the hysteria to subside. In the war room of the Chinese Communist Party, they had to find a way to attack the US without evoking an armed response, plausible deniability, an accident. The CCP holds the belief that they are destined to rule the world and that nations will submit to them (a “god” told them so, so they say). So a plan to take over...

Wishing someone a “Merry Christmas” is common practice for Canadian politicians on Dec. 25, but a holiday greeting from Alberta’s United Conservative Party received considerable criticism on social media over the weekend, including from clergy. The two-word Twitter and Facebook post with a Christmas tree emoji includes an image of the nativity — with Jesus, Mary and Joseph — overlaid with a passage from the King James Bible, Isaiah 9:6. Social media users criticized the party both for sharing a religious text from the official party account, and for the content of the verse itself which uses the word “government:”...

ROME (AP)— Pope Francis has formally stripped the Vatican secretariat of state of its financial assets and real estate holdings following its bungled management of hundreds of millions of euros in donations and investments that are now the subject of a corruption investigation.

Adam and Eve said, 'Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.' And God said, I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and...

I have always wanted to have a way of helping people. I feel that sharing Jesus in a way that takes Him out of rigid religion and that brings Him to the very heart of people is needed. Mary and Martha were Jesus's friends. Their brother Lazarus died. Jesus was heading their way, but in His own time. When Mary came out to see Jesus, she said, “Lord, if you had been here my brother would not have died”. Jesus wept, the smallest verse in the bible had the greatest impact on me. The people who raised me told me...

Amidst all the filth, vulgarity, profanity, sexuality and political correctness (in which the former is not evil but not affirming LGBTQ is) there some pretty good Christian and family films that you can see for free. Tubit is an American ad-supported streaming service owned by Fox Corporation and has been around for a while providing licensed content, and has some gems among the refuse that is to be refused (best to search under appropriate category) and requires no sign up for videos here, although a few short video ads interrupt. The list of movies below is not exhaustive, but most...

In the garden of Gethsemane, before the trial of Jesus, the Son asked His Father if there was any other way to save mankind. The agony of having to bear the sins of the world, the love Jesus had was greater than the weight. On the cross when all the evil was breaking apart of His life, He cried out, “Father forgive them, they know not what they do”. Jesus knew, and could not let their sin into his soul, all of the salvation for man weighed in the balance of Him not letting the darkness enter His light of...
