“Oh, I am just a saved sinner.” That is like saying you are a married bachelor. That is like saying you are an honest thief, or a pure harlot. You can’t be a saved sinner. You are either saved or you are a sinner. -Leonard Ravenhill If people would pay attention to the things that they have been indoctrinated into believing more often than not, they would question what they are being told. For example, look at a man in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

Rev. Brent Hawkes argues that churches should remove references to Jesus being the "Savior" from their websites, so as not to offend Muslims and other religions, and because it is a "stumbling block" for people who might otherwise attend. on X

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards' youngest daughter, Lola, recently got baptized and publicly declared Jesus as her Savior, revealing He saved her from “battling severe anxiety” and gave her a “peace that makes no sense.”Earlier in January, the 19-year-old shared footage of her baptism on Instagram. In a follow-up post on Jan 22, she opened up about the reasons behind her decision, which she said "made my life worth living."“When I was in my deepest depression, there was a moment where I realized I hit rock bottom. I felt so lost and hopeless, and was just doing my best to...

My dear friends, once America's restraint is totally and fully removed from this present evil world, what is to stop the global lawless march to doomsday and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse's ride (2 Thess. 2:2-8, Rev. 6-19)! My friends, a very sobering NOTHING! That is right, NOTHING! We are at the bottom of the super accelerating vortex in world's history, where there is no more time, room and remedies to fix our nation and world's horrific EXPONENTIAL ills. I totally know to point out such realities makes me a villain to many and a spiritual liberator to very...

Rep. Charlie Crist’s (D-FL) recent display — and praise — of divisive rhetoric is not new to his campaign trail, as a recently resurfaced video shows the Democrat speaking to supporters in Pinellas County, essentially comparing himself to Jesus and the governor to Satan. The clip, taken by an attendee at Crist’s campaign event in Pinellas on March 17, 2022, features the Democrat gubernatorial hopeful — who had yet to secure his primary victory at the time — heaping praise on Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky while making a subtle comparison to himself.

At a time when President Biden is at 33 percent approval while Congress sits at 21 percent, there’s one politician who is seeing his numbers rise briskly: Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.). Overall, 57 percent of West Virginia voters approve of Manchin’s performance in the Mountain State. That’s a 17-point jump since Joe Biden took office in early 2021. No U.S. senator has seen a bigger increase in support than Manchin. More notably, the former governor has doubled his approval ratings among West Virginia Republicans, with a whopping 69 percent approving of his performance. For context, Biden’s approval in the state...

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has garnered much praise over the past few weeks for his strong leading of the Ukrainians amid invasion from Russia and his refusal to go into hiding despite Russian assassination attempts. The now seemingly famous line is, “I need Ammunition, not a ride.” Ukraine is in great need of support. Russia is mercilessly attacking them under the dark and scheming leadership of an emboldened Vladimir Putin bent on war. Respect for Zelenskyy’s actions was and is warranted. As a Christian, seeing a leader take a hands-on approach in war has brought to mind Biblical accounts of kings accompanying...

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the...

And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.And the angel of the Lord appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son. Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing: For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God...

Jim Caviezel was the actor that played Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. It is a riveting and inspiring 18 minute video of the speech he gave at the TPV Patriot Double Down in Las Vegas that was held Oct. 22-25 2021. Everyone should take the time to listen to this amazing speech Jim Caviezel. Stand up and be heard before it's all gone.

We all gathered as a family the day we celebrated the life of our father with friends and people who had known my dad. That day was beautiful as the sun shone and I had spent the morning crying and admittedly even had a few shots with my brother in law. I was chosen to be one who would speak to the crowd that gathered and really didn’t know what I was going to say. I remember talking about each of my siblings and making people laugh because that’s what my dad would have wanted but I know I was...

And no, because of the slander that Trump supporters have replaced Jesus with him, I will leave no room for the slander. I'm talking about Jesus Christ, of course. It is so incredibly sad to see how humanity in its natural state of sin fights off their Savior, Jesus Christ, and runs to Satan, and accuses Jesus of being Satan, and embraces Satan as savior instead. It's so sad to see when people persist, and succeed in doing throwing off the Lord for good, and without some drastic intervention from the Lord Himself, there will be no coming to the...

Maybe you’ve seen the eyebrow-raising claims on the Internet or elsewhere in the media: rather than celebrating Jesus’ resurrection from the dead and triumph over crucifixion, Easter is really derived from a pagan holiday. Proponents of this theory point to symbols of rebirth and fertility, like eggs and bunnies, that we see at Easter as proof. But the foundation of the claim that Easter is a pagan tradition is the similarity in names: Easter, they say, is the English translation of Eostre, a Germanic goddess of fertility. (Others claim Easter got its name from the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar, or the...

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has warned of global economic doom He wrote an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal on Friday, issuing a dire proclamation that 'failure could set the world on fire' The 96-year-old believes the White House has done 'a solid job in avoiding immediate catastrophe' etc etc

I think I get it. We've all been overthinking it. The Democrats want to create Franklin Delano Roosevelt II. Their savior. The savior of the country after the Great Depression. Gonna jump right to FDR's fourth term with Biden. Pack the courts; interment camps; huge boondoggle infrastructure projects. A 30-40 year legacy eg; 1932 > 1976 And plug in an unlikely substitute; eg; a Truman

OBITUARY — JESUS OF NAZARETH Jerusalem, Israel — Nisan 16, A.D.33 Jesus Christ of Nazareth died on Friday Nisan 14 on Calvary, also known as Golgotha, the place of the Skull, just outside of Jerusalem, capital of Israel. The causes of His death were extreme exhaustion, severe torture, and loss of blood caused by crucifixion. He was betrayed by one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot by order of Pontius Pilot. Jesus Christ, a descendent of Abraham, was a member of the House of David. He was the son of the late Joseph of Nazareth, a carpenter, and Mary, a devoted...

Thank You, Almighty Lord God, for sending Your Beloved Son Jesus, arriving in the flesh as a little baby boy created and born through the Power of Your Holy Spirit! The Angel of the Lord and the angelic hosts brought the news of Christ's birth to the most humble yet strong of those who dwelt on the Earth at that time--shepherds, who watched over their flocks of sheep by night. May we humble ourselves under the Mighty Power of God, and give praise and worship to Him and to His Beloved Son Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, Who came...

White Double of the Second Class IN THE FOURTH CENTURY OF OUR ERA, the cessation of persecution seemed to give the world a foretaste of its future entrance into eternal peace. “Glory to the Almighty! Glory to the Redeemer of our souls!” wrote Eusebius at the opening of the tenth and last book of his History. Himself a witness of the triumph, he describes the admirable spectacle everywhere displayed by the dedication of the new sanctuaries. In city after city the Bishops assembled, and crowds flocked together. From nation to nation, the goodwill of mutual charity, of common faith,...

We must never forget that at this time of year, we celebrate much more than a birthday. As the great Christian apologist C.S. Lewis put it, Christmas is the story of how “the rightful King has landed.” When Jesus stood before the Roman governor Pilate, just prior to going to His execution, Pilate asked Him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” After some discussion Pilate concluded to Jesus, “You are a king, then!” Jesus answered him, saying, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came...

Luke 2Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV) 2 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 to be taxed with Mary his espoused...
