(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina, Italy, officially got underway on Friday, February 6. Unfortunately, this time-honored tradition of the world’s best athletes competing against one another has already been marred by a few American athletes.
To be fair, most of the athletes were prompted into speaking by hounding “reporters.” Nevertheless, a handful of them decided to use their platform to display a troubling lack of patriotism. Continue reading

In 2008 I penned the attached article analyzing the Lakeland Revival and its leader evangelist/healer/prophet Todd Bentley. The so-called revival lasted several months and included “supernatural manifestations” and experiences. At that time many of us were hopeful that NAR/Bethel’s goose was cooked when the abusive Bentley was brought down for far worse offenses than the recent wrong doings Shawn Bolz, Todd White and several other charismatic hustlers are accused of committing.
In 2008, when news broke of Todd Bentley’s adultery, Charismatic Church leadership removed him from ministry causing the event to be abruptly shut down. Thereafter, Bentley spent a short time undergoing “restoration and repentance” under NAR leaders Rick Joyner, Bill Johnson and Ché Ahn. Knowing Bentley was convicted of sexual assault at the age of 15, knowing that during the “revival” there were creditable accusations that he was responsible for financial mismanagement, knowing about his excessive drinking…exaggerated healings…unsubstantiated claims that people were raised from the dead…and finally, knowing the adultery with a woman on his staff led to him abandoning his wife and children, the men responsible for his restoration quickly returned him to ministry. In doing so, they showed they were completely bereft of good judgement. Hebrews 5:14 reminds us “…solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.”
So – with this backdrop in place, read the article. What you’re about to learn will shock you. Examine the moral depravity, lies and cover-up that charismatic leaders permitted at the event that was sold to the public as a “revival” and then ask yourself this question: Will the recent videos produced by Christian apologist and Bible teacher Mike Winger to enlighten the charismatic community about Bethel Church, Shawn Bolz and Todd White’s treachery become the catalyst that will give rise to the much needed “reform” in the chaotic Charismatic Church Mike is praying for? Or will it turn out to be another slap on the wrist and a return to business as usual, just like what happened in 2008?
There is no question that a spiritual battle is going on between the unseen forces of good and evil. And Mike Winger’s in the thick of it. Pray for divine guidance as he endeavors to discern what is good and what is evil. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Continue reading
9 Wherewith shall a young man redress his way? in taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 I have hid thy promise in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14 I have had as great delight in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and consider thy ways.
16 I will delight in thy statutes, and I will not forget thy word. Psalms 119:8-16 (1599 Geneva Bible)
It is vital for Christians to know God’s Word, to love its precepts so much that they hide it in their hearts so they will never forget it. Why? This is the foundation of discernment. God gives the gift of discernment to His people. Some have more than others of course, but we all must learn to develop it and it begins by knowing and understanding God’s Word. Why?… Continue reading
“Think about this… the Joint Chiefs is spying, the FBI is spying, and the CIA is embedded. And all of this is connected to a sitting US president.”
Way before people started calling it the “Deep State,” Washington had a built-in system that never changed no matter who won the White House. It is the permanent bureaucracy, entrenched military brass, intelligence chiefs, and federal powers that outlast presidents and shape outcomes.
And according to newly unsealed testimony, Richard Nixon didn’t just believe that machine existed. He walked straight into this buzz saw and was shredded. Continue reading
“The IOC just admitted that the women’s category is based on sex, not identity. That’s what we’ve been saying all along, and now the most powerful sports organization in the world just confirmed it.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Remember when the press couldn’t stop fawning over trans athletes shattering records in women’s sports? It was yesterday, right? They acted as if watching males dominate females in competition was some kind of moral triumph, and every story turned into a sermon on diversity and acceptance. Continue reading
3 Afterward Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the Laws: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the things which the Lord hath said, will we do.
4 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord and rose up early, and set up an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings of beeves, and sacrificed peace offerings unto the Lord.
6 Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. Exodus 24:3-8 (1599 Geneva Bible) Read verses 7-8 on the site.
With the demise of the Biblical/Christian Worldview those of us who belong to the Lamb of God must stop assuming that our culture, our environment, knows or grasps what we mean when we talk about sin and God being Holy, Righteous, and Just…. Continue reading

Recently charismatic fortune teller and NAR “prophet” Shawn Bolz has been accused of faking prophecy and sexual harassment. Perhaps Bolz was influenced by self-proclaimed psychic medium John Edward who has been offering psychic readings for more than 3 decades. Over the years Edward has been interviewed by Oprah many times which is revealed in my piece. But what I found most disturbing is that he has also done readings for Terri Irwin, wife of deceased Croc Hunter Steve Irwin, and Steve’s father. I reported that “The grieving widow arranged a “private reading” with John Edward. Translation: He held a séance. On January 6, 2008, Steve allegedly “spoke” to Terri and his father, Bob Irwin, through Edward. “There’s no doubt that Steve was with us,” Mr. Irwin said. “It’s not black and white, it’s grey, but there was a definite, unmistakable Steve energy.”
Bible believing Christians should know better than to attempt necromancy (communication with the dead) as this practice is forbidden in Scripture. Anyone who participates in a séance is sinning against God. Why? The reason is clear. Doing this sort of thing opens the person up to demonic deception.
In a column I wrote several years ago, Witchcraft on the Home Shopping Network?, I warned my readers to steer clear of famed fortune teller John Edward to avoid getting sucked into the wicked world of the occult.
Here’s the article. Continue reading
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, and protest before the Lord, that they strive not about words, which is to no profit, but to the perverting of the hearers.
15 Study to show thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, dividing the word of truth aright. 2 Timothy 2:14-15 (1599 Geneva Bible)
In our post What Does It Mean to Walk In The Light, we looked at what true worship is and what is isn’t. Sadly, the prevalence of false worship and “churchianity” has taken over the “visible church” in our time. However, God has not abandoned the True Church and there are those God is calling to take up the slack left by “Christian” leaders who have left their proper calling of genuine ministry and “Rightly Handling the Word of Truth” to pursue a form of “Church” that is more of a business venture than a genuine Church….

This very clear and firm stance against the brutal and barbaric practice of “gender-affirming care” for children won the praise of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “We commend the American Society of Plastic Surgeons for standing up to the overmedicalization lobby and defending sound science. By taking this stand, they are helping protect future generations of American children from irreversible harm.”
(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) The cultural protections for the diabolical practice of “gender-affirming care” are starting to crumble. This week, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) issued a position statement against gender affirmation for minors. The timing is fascinating, because Fox Varian — a detransitioner — recently won a $2 million malpractice lawsuit against her psychologist and surgeon. Continue reading
“At its core, fundamentalism asserted something remarkably simple: the fundamentals of the faith matter, and Scripture—not culture—defines them. There was no political platform. No culture‑war strategy. Just the conviction that God has spoken and that His Word is not ours to revise.”
(Paul S. Walker – TruthScript) It happened the way so many theological shifts begin today—not in a classroom or a denominational meeting, but in a casual conversation after church. After the service, while people lingered in the aisles catching up, a man from our congregation pulled me aside. We were discussing an issue where Scripture speaks plainly, but obedience has become culturally uncomfortable. He wasn’t angry. He wasn’t combative. He was calm, but concerned about how our church would be perceived in light of the culture today. At one point He paused and said, “Well, I’m just not a fundamentalist like you are.” Continue reading
(Protestia) Christian apologist and Bible teacher Mike Winger has offered to fully fund an investigation into the ministry of Todd White, the pastor and founder of Lifestyle Christianity, in light of repeated allegations of fraud, spiritual abuse, manipulation, domestic abuse, low moral character, and financial impropriety, as outlined in a 25-point open letter.
In a four-hour exposé on White, Winger shared with his audience: Continue reading
(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) Billionaire Jeff Bezos, owner of The Washington Post, trimmed a lot of fat at the paper yesterday, laying off a third of its staff and shuttering several departments entirely. It’s like he put the newspaper on Ozempic. Or is that Bez-Ozempic?
My dad jokes and I will be here all week — assuming no layoffs here.
During a Zoom meeting on Wednesday, WaPo Executive Editor Matt Murray announced “a broad strategic reset with a significant staff reduction” — i.e., layoffs…. Continue reading
1 Behold, ,what love the Father hath given to us, that we should be called the sons of God: For this cause this world knoweth you not, because it knoweth not him.
2 Dearly beloved, now are we the sons of God, but yet it is not made manifest what we shall be: and we know that when he shall be made manifest: we shall be like him: for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purgeth himself, even as he is pure. 1 John 3:1-3 (1599 Geneva Bible)
The Church, the True Church, has always taken the stance that God’s truth is knowable. However, in these “post-modern” times this “stance” has come under considerable attack causing many to question it’s veracity. Also, His truth is as His attributes and character…. Continue reading
“Cameron’s journey from Revival’s Golden Key to “Hellgate” thus illustrates a larger pattern: seeker-sensitive culture does not stop at responding to worship style preferences — it continues its submission to fleshly preferences until it’s telling lost people the “good news” that hell isn’t as bad as the church has always taught.”
(David Morrill) American evangelicalism has not simply changed its methods in the last three decades — it has quietly changed how it knows truth. That epistemological shift isn’t abstract. Instead, it can be traced in the trajectory of public ministers like Kirk Cameron. Continue reading
The real earthquake wasn’t just what Bolz allegedly did. It was that leaders at Bethel, including Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton, acknowledged they knew serious issues existed and failed to communicate clearly, publicly, and promptly. Silence. Internal handling. No broad warning to the thousands who saw this man as a mouthpiece for God. Only after outside pressure and public exposure did the apologies roll out—the corporate version of “we should’ve said something sooner.”
(The Dissenter) It’s a strange kind of grief—not the grief of surprise, but the grief of confirmation. The kind where you’ve been standing on the train tracks for years, waving both arms, shouting that the light in the distance isn’t the sunrise, it’s a locomotive—and then one day you hear the impact and everybody else finally looks up.

1 “Not all the ones saying to me Lord, Lord, will enter into the Kingdom of the Heavens, but only the ones doing the will of my Father in the Heavens. (Matthew 7:21 translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)
There are many false teachings in our time within the visible Church. What we must never forget is that there is nothing new under the Sun. The heresies we encounter now are actually very old. Some have been around a long time in their current form while others are recycled versions of an older heresy that was dealt with hundreds of years ago. Why should our enemy and his seed come up with new attacks when the old ones wreak havoc, deepen spiritual blindness, and keep people mired in man-made religiosity instead of becoming spirit-filled, obedient Christians? Continue reading
“In my opinion, this kind of book, this approach to the faith, is horrifying, offensive, and inappropriate merchandising. (2 Peter 2:3).”
(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) This is a long article. I’ll cut to the chase: I review Josh Axe very negatively. Before Christian sisters decide to bail and quit reading, I’ll ask you this: do you want to honor Jesus with all your mind, strength, body, and soul? Or do you love Josh Axe so much you will not even entertain anything negative said about him? If the latter, you have an idol in your heart. If you are not a Christian there are still pertinent facts and information for you to consider. And I do hope, whomever you are, to consider them. Helpful links at the end. Continue reading
“In response to Kirk’s rebuke of “sin sniffers” and “heresy hunters,” looking for people to attack so our “ministries don’t dry up,” it must be said that neither Protestia nor I, as its publisher, earn any profit from this work. I operate without a salary, without ad profit tied to outrage, and without financial incentive to manufacture controversy. We also publish a clear, accessible set of doctrinal and editorial standards that invite accountability. Readers are encouraged to evaluate our reporting against those standards at any time.”
(David Morrill) We’re posting this video compilation (at the end) and explanation to document contradictions and moral/ethical inconsistencies in how Kirk Cameron has handled public criticism following his promotion of annihilationism. We’re also publicly calling him to repent – not so much for his false and dangerous beliefs about hell, but about how he has sinfully responded to disagreement and correction.
This became necessary after Kirk went to CBN (a platform that has promoted Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, T.D. Jakes, Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Todd White, Bill Johnson, etc.) to whitewash the record and level accusations against his brothers yet again. Continue reading
“The government can only do so much to protect the rights of the citizenry. If half the country hates us and applauds these assaults on our liberties, the threat of arrest (and likely dismissal by an activist judiciary) will do little to deter the wackier elements of the fascistic left from carrying out future attacks.”
(A.J. Christopher – PJ Media) On Jan. 18, a violent mob of bigots stormed the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn., and disrupted the religious service. Much of the news surrounding the attack deals with the fact that pseudo-journalist Don Lemon was involved. The attack itself, a brazen assault on the indispensable right to freely practice religion and the right for which the Mayflower pilgrims set sail, has almost become incidental. Continue reading
3 Now are ye clean through the word, which I have spoken unto you. John 15:3 (1599 Geneva Bible)
All people are born dead in their trespasses and sins. (Ephesians 2:1; Colossians 2:13) This condition of spiritual death also means that each person, though desperate for fulfillment that can only be satisfied in God, cannot come to God, know God, or even seek Him. Because of this, they pursue fulfillment from everything around them. The number one method of doing this is via the flesh. The flesh is all about self and self-gratification. The problem with this is that nothing works for very long, including religiosity. Continue reading
“This is HUGE. We now have validation the 4Chan post from 8/10/2019 is a legitimate eyewitness account from an MCC prison officer that Epstein may have been switched out before news broke of his alleged suicide.”
(Revolver) Another batch of Epstein docs dropped, and as usual, the loudest names are getting the headlines. But the real buzz isn’t coming from the obvious dirtbags. It’s coming from the smaller, stranger details that never quite sat right with people.
One of those weird details involves a bizarre 4chan post that appeared in August 2019, about an hour before the public was told Jeffrey Epstein had been found dead in his jail cell…. Continue reading
“There should be zero tolerance of homosexuals in the church. Becoming more like the ELCA will only ensure the death of the LCMS.”
(Anthony Fava) The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is often considered the conservative version of Lutheranism versus the progressive Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), yet the reality is far more muddled, and the LCMS is really the equivalent of the conservative denomination driving the speed limit on its way to being the ELCA. Continue reading
“I know a number of charismatic leaders are talking to lawyers right now trying to see if they can sue me. And we’ll see how that works out for them.”
(Protestia) Christian apologist Mike Winger has revealed that several charismatic leaders are in talks with their lawyers over whether or not to sue him for defamation, following a series of high-profile exposé s on their ungodly behavior.
Winger has gone hard against charismatic cover-up culture over the last year, receiving millions of views while making good on his infamous February 2025 tweet. Continue reading
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth call I you not servants: for the servant knoweth not what his master doeth: but I have called you friends: for all things that I have heard of my Father, have I made known to you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye go and bring forth fruits, and that your fruit remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my Name, he may give it you. 17 These things command I you, that ye love one another.18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before you.19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 15:14-19 (1599 Geneva Bible)
A study of the book of Acts reveals that as Christianity spread as the Apostles obediently made disciples wherever they went, it was always accompanied by persecution. The hotter the persecution the more encouraged the brethren became…. Continue reading
10 Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and choosing sure; for in doing these things, you will never stumble;2 Peter 1:10 (LSB)
Some “evangelical leaders” in our time will tell you that transformation is actually part of the gospel and that the evidence of salvation is how busy a person is in “working in church ministry.” No where in God’s Word is transformation given as part of the Gospel. The Gospel is based in who Jesus Christ is and what He has done to be the propitiation for the elect…. Continue reading
