The Parable of the Wedding-Feast

13 These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast. 14 These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and elect and faithful.” Revelation 17:13-14 (LSB) 

The parable of the Wedding Feast, which we find in Matthew 22:1-14 is part of Matthew’s discourse on the Kingdom of God, which has many parts. Chapters 18:1-23:39 makes up The King’s Administration part of the Kingdom of God, therefore, the parable of the Wedding Feast would definitely be within that. Jesus tells this parable as part of a set of Kingly parables after his Triumphal Entry, the cleansing of the Temple, and the cursing of the Fig Tree in Matthew 21…. Continue reading

Is Joyce Meyer A False Teacher?

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Joyce Meyer is a well-known American speaker, author, and television personality born on June 4, 1943. She has been a prominent figure in the Christian community for decades.

Meyer grew up in a difficult childhood, marked by physical abuse. She later converted to Christianity in 1976, which significantly changed her life. She began her career in the ministry as a volunteer at a local church and gradually worked her way up. Continue reading

Mark Driscoll Kicked Off Stage for Calling Out Male Stripper Dancing on a Pole at Men’s Conference

“During the conference, there was a performer dancing on a stripper pole and taking his shirt off. From the stage, [Driscoll] expressed his disdain directly during his speaking slot, which led to an interruption by Pastor John Lindell, the host of the conference…”

(The Dissenter) Let me start with a disclaimer that I do not support or endorse Mark Driscoll in any way. Driscoll was once a prominent figure in the infamous “young, restless, and Reformed” community, known for his edgy, aggressive sermons and punk-inspired worship services.

However, his penchant for inappropriate language and disturbing behavior ultimately led to his downfall…. Continue reading

Dismantling the ‘Transgender’ Narrative

“When influential organizations and individuals promote ‘sex assigned at birth,’ they are encouraging a culture in which citizens can be shamed for using words like ‘sex,’ ‘male’ and ‘female’ that are familiar to everyone in society, as well as necessary to discuss the implications of sex. This is not the usual kind of censoriousness, which discourages the public endorsement of certain opinions. It is more subtle, repressing the very vocabulary needed to discuss the opinions in the first place.”

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) Science continues to prove common sense on the gender front. A new study has reaffirmed what has already been posited: that most children who struggle with gender confusion grow out of it by adulthood. Continue reading

Iran Is a Violent Toddler in Need of a Spanking

“They launched 350 missiles and drones, mostly from Iranian territory and with Iranian aircrews, at targets across all of Israel. What is the consequence when Iran launches a massive attack from Iran? Nothing.”

(Stephen Green – P Media) “I condemn Iran’s attacks in the strongest possible terms and reaffirm America’s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel,” Presidentish Joe Biden lied, right around the time he, his administration, and that collection of low-forehead mouth-breathers known as “world opinion” bullied Israel into just letting themselves get attacked by Iran. Continue reading

The Biden Drone Attack On Israel

“As President, he had a duty to inform us as to our role, the extent, and the mission of why he launched our pilots into action. Yet Joe Biden failed to do so. Why?” 

(Kevin McCullough – Townhall) Last night as the attack on Israel was unfolding all of the news coverage broke in to announce that Biden and Netanyahu were scheduled to speak within minutes.

I for one would have really liked to have overheard that conversation.

Because the long and the short of it is this. Continue reading

Why should we be partakers of the very thing that leads to eternal death in those who do not know the Lord?

8 And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “Let us do evil that good may come”? Their condemnation is just. Romans 3:8 (LSB) 

The debate in the visible Church in our time concerning the need for Christians to walk in Repentance is actually quite perplexing to those of us whose hearts and consciences are bound to the Word of God. It clearly exhorts us all to repent and walk in righteousness. I had a conversation with a Pastor several years ago at lunch following his sermon that Sunday morning. We discussed the dreadful condition in the visible Church in which most professing Christians appeared to be very immature and in bondage to their flesh…. Continue reading

Disturbing Racial Commentary From Black Pundits in the Wake of OJ Simpson’s Death Sparks Outrage

(Debra Heine – American Greatness) In the wake of OJ Simpson’s death, several black commentators have revealed the dark underside of race relations in America by suggesting that black Americans were glad that he got away with murdering two white people.

In 1995, a jury of nine blacks, one Hispanic, and two whites acquitted Simpson of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman despite “a mountain of evidence” that he was guilty. Many commentators at the time saw the acquittal of Simpson as an example of jury nullification, when a jury members defy a judge’s instructions on the law and acquit a defendant who has been proven guilty for their own biased reasons. Continue reading

FISA Reform Failed Because The Whole Point Of Section 702 Is To Spy On Americans

“The main purpose of the intelligence community’s surveillance programs isn’t to spy on terrorists or foreign adversaries overseas, it’s to spy on American citizens….” 

(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) A group of 19 Republican lawmakers on Wednesday joined with Democrats to block a bill that would have reauthorized the federal government’s spying authority with a few minor tweaks. At issue is Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows warrantless surveillance of foreigners but is also routinely used to spy on American citizens. Continue reading

Pelosi’s Insurrection: National Guard Whistleblowers to Testify They Were Ready to Be Deployed on Jan.6 But Pentagon Delayed Orders – Will DESTROY J6 Committee’s BIG LIE!

John Solomon from Just The News released an explosive report in 2022 that revealed Capitol Police were first warned about possible violence at the January 6th protests TWO WEEKS before the planned rallies. Pelosi, Mayor Bowser, and other government officials turned down the National Guard anyway. They hoped for an “insurrection.”

(Jim Hoft – The Gateway Pundit) As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser were both warned about the security situation prior to January 6th and both of them turned down National Guard troops at the US Capitol that day. Continue reading

So Much for Our Civilization

“How many children can be irreversibly neutered before you crash the population? Why would we want to even risk that? How deranged does our very language have to get, before we lose the ability to communicate? How many preposterous lies do we have to pretend to believe, before we have to find some way to live without truth?”

(Lee Duigon – News With Views) We have, for all practical purposes, history’s first global civilization. There’s nowhere you can go where it can’t reach out and bite you. Continue reading

Reconciling Christian Love and Hatred Toward Enemies of God

“So, here’s the question: As Christians, can we hate those who are systematically opposed to God’s righteous standards, perpetuating endless evil in the world?”

(The Dissenter) In an age where progressive thought and postmodernism dominate the cultural and intellectual landscape, Christians often find themselves challenged with the task of navigating their faith amidst conflicting ideologies. One such challenge arises in the form of a perceived paradox between the biblical injunctions to both love and hate the enemies of God. Continue reading

Repentance, personal holiness and the big lie

7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. 10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. Galatians 6:7-10 (LSB) 

Repentance is not a large part of the paradigm that is the 21st Century version of the visible Church. The current trend to build Mega-Churches has as one of its main tenets that the prevailing culture within which the church resides must determine the content of the Gospel…. Continue reading

Prophecy for Sale: ‘Prophets’ Mimic Psychics, Charging up to $555 for Phone Call

“We deliver authentic and accurate insights for every situation from the mind of God directly to your ears.” 

(Barry Bowen – The Trinity Foundation) 2,700 years ago, the Prophet Micah warned that “prophets tell fortunes for money.” (Micah 3:11 NIV) The business of prophecy selling still continues in 2024.

Panganai Java, the flamboyant Zimbabwe-born but Maryland-based preacher, better known as Prophet Passion Java, finances his lavish lifestyle by preaching the prosperity gospel and charging his followers $555 for phone calls. Continue reading

Joseph Prince Performs Epic Scripture Twisting To Say That Praying in Tongues Heals Our Bodies of Diseases

“Here we are, having to address the claim that muttering and babbling in unknown gibberish is somehow the biblical equivalent of a health supplement.”

(The Dissenter) In the world of extreme charismaticism where the “Health and Wealth gospel” reigns supreme, and where spectacle trumps scripture, notorious false teacher and charismatic self-appointed NAR “apostle,” Joseph Prince, claims that speaking and praying in tongues heals our bodies from diseases and infirmities. In an epic Scripture twist, he points at 1 Corinthians 14:4 to claim that this spectacle is akin to a divine healthcare plan. Continue reading

After Promising Not To, The IRS Army Democrats Expanded Is Targeting The Middle Class

(Tristan Justice – The Federalist) The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is deploying most of its expanded army of federal tax collectors against the middle class, contradicting Democrats’ promises when they hiked its budget by $80 billion over the next 10 years in 2022.

“President Joe Biden will seek $80 billion to fund enhanced Internal Revenue Service enforcement of high-earners,” CNN claimed in 2021. NPR claimed in 2022 that the IRS would spend the money, among other things, on “hiring new enforcement agents” and “auditing the wealthiest Americans.”… Continue reading

Flesh-bound Christians and the Mortification of Sin

7 What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! Rather, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law. For I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, “YOU SHALL NOT COVET.” 8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, worked out in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the Law sin is dead. 9 Now I was once alive apart from the Law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died; 10 and this commandment, which was to lead to life, was found to lead to death for me. Read verses 11-24 on the site.

If we are honest, each of us would have to confess that there are sins that have an incredible hold on us. It seems that no matter how devoted we become in our walk before our Lord, there will be some sins that trip us up, making us stumble and fall to our deep chagrin…. Continue reading

John Hagee: Solar Eclipse Means Prepare For Rapture!

“Simply stated, he is taking a celestial event that occurs after a historical event and declaring it to be a sign from God of this event. This retroactive interpretation is deceptive revisionism at its worst. John Hagee and Mark Biltz [who is Hebrew Roots] are the two who have most popularized this false prophetic interpretation.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2023 brought out the crazies, with Troy Brewster being the most notable amongst them in declaring the eclipse to be passing over seven different Nineveh’s and a warning sign from God. Brewster would also call the eclipse the Sign of Jonah, which is an obvious false description. Because this eclipse passed over America, the homegrown craziness was abundant. And Troy Brewster is not the only one. Continue reading

Grace Community Church’s Phil Johnson Gives Promising Health Update After Suffering Pulmonary Embolism

(Protestia) The estimable Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace to You, founder and former curator of The Spurgeon Archive, and one of our favorite people ever, has been afflicted with a health scare these past few days after waking up and suffering a pulmonary embolism early Friday morning.

A pulmonary embolism is incredibly serious and develops when a blood clot constricts and stops blood flow to an artery in the lung, resulting in chest pains, shortness of breath, and symptoms like a heart attack. According to the National Library of Medicine: Continue reading

Vatican Denounces ‘Gender Ideologies’ and Bans Gender Surgeries as ‘Grave Violations of Human Dignity’

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) The Vatican has issued a major statement that strongly condemns transgender surgeries and says that “gender ideology” has no place in the Church.

“It follows that any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception,” the document, titled “Infinite Dignity,” said. The Church called gender surgeries and surrogacy “grave violations of human dignity.” Continue reading

Joe Biden Has Secretly Flown 33,000 Migrants into New York City, 326,000 into Florida, at Taxpayer Expense

(Warner Todd Huston – Breitbart) A review of available federal records shows the Biden administration has secretly flown 33,000 illegal aliens into New York City and an astounding 326,000 into the state of Florida over the last several years.

The number of illegals that Biden has flown around the country dwarfs the number that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) sent via bus to deep blue cities, even though it is Abbott who suffers the barbs of the left-wing media for the practice and Biden’s human trafficking is wholly ignored by the press. Continue reading

The Lordship of Christ and Genuine Saving Faith

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ concerning all of you because your faith is being proclaimed in all the world. Romans 1:8 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)

In these broadly apostate days of the visible church the good biblical words such as ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ are thrown around and used in such a loose way that it is important for us dig into what God’s Word says about πιστεύω (pisteuō), “to have faith in, trust; particularly, to be firmly, persuaded as to something” and πιστός (pistos), an adjective meaning “faithful, trustworthy, reliable, dependable” instead of relying on what our modern translations give us for these words, for if we do not “dig” we remain in a shallow understanding of these things…. Continue reading

Hamas Just Begged Israel to Finish It Off

“If they’re bold enough to chant “Death to America!” without repercussion in America’s Midwest, just as they have always done in the Mideast, then Israel must now think and act as though America’s support were always in question. Because thanks to Biden, it is.”

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Two weeks ago I had the sad duty to inform you that most, if not all, of the hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7 were probably dead. Now, Hamas has confirmed it. Continue reading

Resurfaced Truth: Biden Pressured Garland to Prosecute Trump

“Bill O’Reilly reported on September 6, “…it is President Biden himself directing the attempted takedown of Donald Trump.  Usually, Mr. Biden is disengaged from policy, doing what his far-left handlers want.  Not this time…”

(Mary Dowling) Last year, the former president retruthed a NY Times report that had resurfaced on X, and it’s making the rounds on X again. A New York Times report dated April 2, 2022, stated that Joe Biden pressured Attorney General Merrick Garland to prosecute Mr. Trump for J6. Continue reading

Is it Good Works or is it Works Righteousness?

36 And there was a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, 37 and then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers. 38 And at that very moment she came up and began giving thanks to God, and continued to speak of Him to all those who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem. Luke 2:36-38 (LSB) 

When I was a young man and even prior to that when I was a teenager, I was quite religious. I went to church with my family and tried to emulate what I saw my parents do in their devotion. I tried to reach a point in my own devotion where I could be fulfilled, wanting to serve God with the joy and fervor I saw in other believers. However, I just could not do it. I found myself bored in church…. Continue reading
