A father and daughter were swimming when the swift current carried them out into the deeper part of the ocean. The father knew they could not both safely battle the rough sea back to shore, so he said, “Honey, Dad taught you how to float. Now, float on your back while I go for help. I promise you I will be back.” It took him one full hour to get to the shore, secure a boat, and go back. When he and the help reached her, she was floating serenely on her back. As they pulled her into the boat, one of the crew said, “You are so brave. Weren’t you afraid?” The girl replied, “Why should I be afraid? My father promised me he would come back, and he always keeps his promises.”
Jesus Christ described the culture of the last days. As we look around at the world we live in, it is apparent that times are turbulent. But Jesus promised that He would come back and take us out of this world. Be brave, be strong, and stand firm. He always keeps His promises. Our eternal security is not governed by the circumstances or the state of this world, but by who God is and what He has promised.

Pastor John MacArthur had a dire warning for the incoming president, Joe Biden, after the inauguration. “You’d better be careful when you put your hand on God,” MacArthur warned, speaking of Biden placing his hand on the Bible to take the oath of the presidency has he promised to use his position to blaspheme God’s name.
“You can say whatever you want to say,” MacArthur warns, “but when you touch the ark, when you place your hand on the throne of God, because God is enthroned in His Word, and you place your hand on the Word of God and pledge to do the very things that blaspheme His name.”
“You talk about a high-risk action, “he continues. “God doesn’t want your respect, He wants your obedience.”
“Don’t tell me you advocate for the slaughter of babies in the womb. Don’t tell me you want to destroy masculinity, femininity, marriage. Don’t tell me you want to fill the world with LGBTQ people in leadership, you want to justify transgender activity. Don’t tell me you want to invite more Muslims in who represent a religion from Hell and then put your hand on the throne of God.”
MacArthurs’ warning comes in the wake of an enormous amount of Evangelical leaders who pushed to have Donald Trump removed from office, even impeached, as they favored Joe Biden — an enemy of the Church and God — as though he has some kind of moral high ground.

The prevailing spirit of the present age seems to be the spirit of skepticism and captiousness, of suspicion and distrust in private judgment, a dislike of all established forms merely because they are established, and of old paths because they are old. -Samuel Johnson
“Not called,” did you say? “Not heard the call,” I think you should say.
Put your ear down to the Bible and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of Hell and hear the condemned souls entreat you to go to their fathers’ houses and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there. Then look Christ in the face – whose mercy you have professed to obey – and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world. -William Booth
It takes a risen Savior to save the lost. It takes a living Savior to comfort broken hearts. It takes a living Savior to prepare Heaven for us when we die. -Clyde Box
Our holiness of life does not make us saints but manifests us as saints. It is because we become saints when saved by grace that we must cultivate saintly living and not live as unsaintly saints who are ever the tragedy of Christianity. We are guilty of sin if we should do good but do it not (James 4:17). -Herbert Lockyer
Hell is the highest reward that the Devil can offer you for being a servant of his. -Billy Sunday
Never blame a legislative body for not doing something. When they do nothing, they don’t hurt anybody. When they do something is when they become dangerous. -Will Rogers
God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves. -D. L. Moody
All unbelief is the belief of a lie. -Horatius Bonar
Faith never knows where it is being led, bit it loves and knows the One who is leading. -Oswald Chambers
Cheerfulness is to our service what oil is to the wheels of a railway carriage. Without oil the axle soon grows hot and accidents occur; and if there be not a holy cheerfulness to oil our wheels, our spirits will be clogged with weariness. -Charles Spurgeon
Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness makes goodness much more serviceable. -Matthew Henry

Prior to this pandemic, the U.S. government had never sent out “universal basic income” checks in the entire history of our country. The current stimulus payments may pacify the socialist mobs for a few months, but eventually they will be back demanding even more.
We crossed a line that should have never been crossed when we sent “stimulus payments” directly to the American people during the very early stages of the COVID pandemic. Even many Republicans that supported the measure acknowledged that what they were doing was pure socialism, but they defended the payments by insisting that we were in the middle of a major national emergency. At the time, I warned that once the government started issuing such checks, the American people would always keep demanding more. When it was announced that the latest round of “stimulus payments” would only be $600 per person, angry activists vandalized Nancy Pelosi’s house. Of course they got Mitch McConnell’s house too. In both cases, the vandals made it exceedingly clear that they wanted more government money. Sadly, it wasn’t just a handful of activists that went ballistic. Literally millions of enraged Americans posted angry messages on social media that expressed how “insulting” the $600 figure was. But prior to this pandemic, the U.S. government had never sent out “universal basic income” checks in the entire history of our country. So you would think that most people should be grateful for an extra $600, but instead there was a tremendous amount of rage. President Trump wanted the payments raised to $2000 and many Democrats did as well. But Republicans still had control of the Senate, and Mitch McConnell initially blocked that effort. But now Democrats will shortly have control of the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, and one of the first things they plan to do is to deliver $2,000 checks to the American people… Even while $600 stimulus checks are being deposited in tens of millions of bank accounts, congressional Democrats are laying the groundwork for even greater stimulus payments, which some call “survival checks.” As Senate democratic leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) recently said, “One of the first things that I want to do when our new senators are seated is deliver the $2,000 checks to the American families.” With Democrats preparing to take power in Washington, a critical question will be whether such survival checks will be one-time payments or recur each month “for the duration of the pandemic,” as Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) and others have suggested. That may pacify the socialist mobs for a month or two, but eventually they will be back for even more payments. As the voices get angrier and angrier, do you think that anyone in Washington will be willing to stand up and say no? The incoming Vice-President, Kamala Harris, previously proposed giving out monthly $2,000 checks for the duration of this pandemic… Recurring monthly $2,000 checks would mirror the payments proposed in the “Monthly Economic Crisis Support Act” that Vice President-elect Kamala Harris (D-CA) introduced in the Senate in May 2020. If you are married with three kids, you would have gotten $10,000 every month under her plan. Considering where we are as a society today, I think that most Americans would have been very eager to sign up for that. Of course the price tag for such a plan would be nightmarish. It would have been approximately $600 billion every month, and that would mean that it would add more than 7 trillion dollars to our national debt over the course of an entire year. But since we are liquidating the Republic anyway, who really cares? Harris insisted that her plan would end once the crisis was over. Other politicians, however, are ready to start giving citizens “universal basic income” checks on a permanent basis starting right now. For example, Andrew Yang is making this the signature promise of his campaign as he runs for mayor of New York City… Former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang has officially started his run to succeed Bill de Blasio as Mayor of New York City with a call for a universal basic income for half-a-million of the city’s poorest residents. Yang insists that by giving everyone free money every month he can “eradicate poverty” in NYC… “We can eradicate extreme poverty in New York City,” Yang said. “If you put just a little money in their hands it can actually be what keeps them in their home and, again, avoids them hitting city services that are incredibly expensive.” That sounds good, but who is he going to tax in order to pay for it? After all, hundreds of thousands of wealthy people already left the city during 2020. The truth is that it is a pipe dream, but that pipe dream is going to win him a whole lot of votes. Benjamin Franklin once made the following statement… “When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.” Sadly, we have now reached that point. And this comes at a time when tens of millions of Americans are in desperate need because the real economy continues to implode all around us. For example, we just learned that Christopher & Banks has gone belly up… Apparel retailer Christopher & Banks, which caters to women over 40, is the latest clothing chain to file for bankruptcy protection amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Minneapolis-based company announced Thursday it filed for Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. Christopher & Banks said in a news release it “expects to close a significant portion, if not all, of its brick-and-mortar stores.” Thousands of businesses have been dying every month. As I discussed the other day, the U.S. has lost more than 110,000 restaurants alone. And to make sure that most of the businesses that have died can never possibly make a comeback, Joe Biden wants to institute “a national minimum wage of $15 an hour”. Promising people more money is a great way to win elections, but at the end of the day someone always has to pay. As the U.S. economy continues to come apart at the seams, finding sources of tax revenue will become increasingly difficult. Perhaps the big tech companies can step up and offer to dramatically enlarge their contributions to the U.S. Treasury. After all, they were quite instrumental in giving control of the federal government to the Democrats, and so you would think they should be quite willing to help pay for their promises.

The globalists envision a “sustainable” future in which all forms of human activity are very closely monitored and controlled for “the good of the planet”. They are entirely convinced that a global system in which all the nations of the world are increasingly integrated is what is best for humanity.
The Internet sure has been buzzing about “the Great Reset” lately. That term has been trending on Facebook and Twitter, and the New York Times even published an article dismissing it as a “conspiracy theory”. But it is definitely no conspiracy theory. I was determined to get to the bottom of this whole thing, and I am going to share the facts that the New York Times either could not find or refused to share. It turns out that “the Great Reset” is actually an initiative that was started by the World Economic Forum that is designed to get “global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis”. The following comes directly from the official website of the World Economic Forum… There is an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. To improve the state of the world, the World Economic Forum is starting The Great Reset initiative. So the New York Times put out fake news when they told all of us that “the Great Reset” is just a “conspiracy theory”, and they owe all of us a major apology. According to the World Economic Forum, “the Great Reset” is a “unique window of opportunity” for global leaders to shape “the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons”… As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery, this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons. Drawing from the vision and vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the Forum’s communities, the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being. In other words, “the Great Reset” is essentially just an updated blueprint for a New World Order. The man behind “the Great Reset” is named Klaus Schwab. He is the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, and elsewhere on the official site of the WEF there is an article by Schwab entitled “Now is the time for a ‘great reset'”. The following is an excerpt from that article… To achieve a better outcome, the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a “Great Reset” of capitalism. He is very open about the fact that he wants to “revamp all aspects of our societies and economies”. That means that all aspects of human activity would fall under his plan. But in particular, he very much wants a “Great Reset” of capitalism. That definitely sets off alarm bells. When people start talking about dramatic changes to capitalism, usually what they mean is that we should move even more in the direction of socialism. According to Schwab, there are three main components to “the Great Reset”. The first involves reforming our economic systems so that they will “promote more equitable outcomes”… Moreover, governments should implement long-overdue reforms that promote more equitable outcomes. Depending on the country, these may include changes to wealth taxes, the withdrawal of fossil-fuel subsidies, and new rules governing intellectual property, trade, and competition. Unfortunately, I think that he means the exact same thing that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez means when she talks about “more equitable outcomes”. Secondly, Schwab says that one of the main components of “the Great Reset” would involve massive government investments in “green” urban infrastructure and other similar projects… The second component of a Great Reset agenda would ensure that investments advance shared goals, such as equality and sustainability. Here, the large-scale spending programs that many governments are implementing represent a major opportunity for progress. The European Commission, for one, has unveiled plans for a €750 billion ($826 billion) recovery fund. The US, China, and Japan also have ambitious economic-stimulus plans. Rather than using these funds, as well as investments from private entities and pension funds, to fill cracks in the old system, we should use them to create a new one that is more resilient, equitable, and sustainable in the long run. This means, for example, building “green” urban infrastructure and creating incentives for industries to improve their track record on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. Doesn’t that sound a whole lot like the “Green New Deal” that many on the left have been pushing here in the United States? Thirdly, Schwab envisions applying the “innovations” that we have witnessed during the COVID pandemic as a model for “every sector” of society… The third and final priority of a Great Reset agenda is to harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good, especially by addressing health and social challenges. During the COVID-19 crisis, companies, universities, and others have joined forces to develop diagnostics, therapeutics, and possible vaccines; establish testing centers; create mechanisms for tracing infections; and deliver telemedicine. Imagine what could be possible if similar concerted efforts were made in every sector. In other words, Schwab thinks that the global response to the COVID pandemic can be a blueprint for governing every area of our lives moving forward. Doesn’t that sound just wonderful? Of course in order for the globalists to get the United States on board with this “Great Reset”, they will need to get Donald Trump out of the way first, and they think that they are very close to achieving that goal. The globalists envision a “sustainable” future in which all forms of human activity are very closely monitored and controlled for “the good of the planet”. They are entirely convinced that a global system in which all the nations of the world are increasingly integrated is what is best for humanity, but those of us that are resisting the globalists understand that a one world system will inevitably evolve into a complete and utter global nightmare. Globalist publications such as the New York Times will continue to try to convince all of us that plans such as “the Great Reset” do not even exist, even as globalist organizations such as the World Economic Forum are publicly announcing their plans right out in the open. In times like these, it is absolutely imperative to think for yourself, because deception is everywhere and those that tell the truth are often greatly ridiculed.

The WEF makes no effort to hide the communist agenda behind its push for The Great Reset, which is nothing less than a radical transformation of life on planet earth that will enslave all alive at the time.
There’s an ancient saying that dates back to 1546 when John Heywood said, “There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know.” Sadly, this quote aptly describes the majority of pastors today in the United States, even many of those who preach in churches whose statements of faith affirm beliefs in the inerrancy of Scripture. With a strictly earthbound vision for the future that pushes the Lord’s return to a far distant time, these leaders tell us that the turmoil of our present day is part of a reoccurring cycle of history and that life will return to normal after the current crisis passes. However, not everyone agrees. David Horowitz, despite his atheism, wrote a book warning of the severe persecution coming to Bible-believing Christians in America (Dark Agenda). Peter Koenig, a geopolitical analyst, lecturer, and previous Senior Economist with the World Health Organization, constantly warns people of the threat posed by The Great Reset championed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and of the dangers posed by ID2020 and COVID-19 vaccines, although to my knowledge he is not a follower of Jesus. Why do Horowitz and Koenig clearly see the perils ahead for us that so many pastors refuse to acknowledge? Although these and other secular writers do not believe the Bible, they warn of a future that’s remarkably similar to what we read about in the book of Revelation and in other prophetic texts. Here are just a few bright red warning lights that should wake up all those in Christ to the approaching tribulation as well as to the nearness of the rapture that occurs before it. THE GREAT WICKEDNESS IN AMERICA This is what I wrote in a previous post, Not Now, I Have My Life to Live, regarding the fact that from a human perspective, the Lord’s judgment of America is long, long overdue. Does not the ongoing horror of abortion that has led to the merciless slaughter of countless millions of innocent lives tell us that God’s judgment must be right at the door? Not only have our elected leaders refused to outlaw this murderous and horrific practice, but they also stand by as Planned Parenthood butchers babies and sells their body parts to the highest bidder. Abortion is an abomination that will most certainly bring the Lord’s wrath upon America at some point, count on it. The Lord hears each and every muffled scream of tiny boys and girls as evil men and women poison them or rip their precious bodies apart inside their mother’s womb. He sees the anguished looks on the faces of young girls and boys caught up in the horrors of sex trafficking. Are we so naïve as to assume the Lord will not judge the U.S. and world for these abominations that so deeply grieve Him? Are we so foolish as to think that Psalm 94 refers only to the distant past without prophetic significance for the day in which we find ourselves? In 2012, Billy Graham quoted his wife Ruth as saying, “If God doesn’t punish America, He’ll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.” The wickedness to which she referred has grown exponentially since she spoke those words sometime before her death in 2007. I am not a prophet, but I know God’s wrath will fall upon the U.S. in the not-too-distant future. Perhaps we already see its beginnings in the divisions and turmoil that characterize life here on America. THE RAPID MOVE TOWARD MARXISM VIA THE GREAT RESET In many of my recent articles, I describe the dangers posed by World Economic Forum (WEF) and the ominous Great Reset, which they promote. I often quote Peter Koenig who amazingly refers to the coming world government as the “beast” apart from any reference to Daniel or the book of Revelation. The WEF makes no effort to hide the communist agenda behind its push for The Great Reset, which is nothing less than a radical transformation of life on planet earth that will enslave all alive at the time. According to James Delingpole of Breitbart News, “COVID-19 has provided the perfect pretext” to usher in “a globalist takeover” of virtually every aspect of human life. “Put simply,” he continues, The Great Reset “is the blueprint for a complete transformation of the world economy. There will be no money, no private property, no democracy. Instead, every key decision — what you do for a living, how much stuff you consume, whether you can take a vacation — will be decided for you by a remote, unaccountable elite of ‘experts.'” Why is it that so many pastors and believers fail to see the dangers behind what they read in the news or recognize the uncanny resemblance of what they hear to what John wrote about in the book of Revelation? THE DIRE THREAT POSED BY A BIDEN PRESIDENCY The Great Reset is so much more than the utopian dream of unrealistic globalists. It’s the fervent desire of the “deep state” in America and is something that both the Democrat and Republican establishments greatly desire. President Donald Trump stands virtually alone in his opposition to the Marxist agenda of the globalist elite (AKA deep state) in the U.S. Most Republicans in the Congress and Senate have already abandoned the President and his efforts to expose the great fraud so apparent in the November 3 election. Kerry, whom Biden named as his special presidential envoy for climate, recently affirmed Biden’s allegiance to the Marxist agenda of the WEF. He assured the elites of the World Economic Forum (WEF) that a Joe Biden presidency would quickly advance the globalist “Great Reset” agenda “with greater speed and greater intensity than many might imagine.” It’s also clear that a President Biden (or Harris) will not tolerate any hint of dissent to their rabid support for abortion and the LBGTQ agenda. Their previous statements and appointments confirm this as does the advice that many in Congress have already given to them. Under a Biden/Harris administration, any church that hopes to exist in its current form in the year 2025 (the end of their term) will only do so by agreeing the with the radical agenda of the Democrats regarding transgenderism for children, homosexuality, pedophilia, and abortion up to the moment of birth. THE NUMEROUS SIGNS OF THE APPROACHING TRIBULATION Those who assign Revelation 6-18 to either a bygone era or mere symbolism refuse to see the myriad of signs pointing to the fact that these chapters will soon become a reality in our world. The evidence that we live in the last days is overwhelming, yet so many remain blind to what they see. They repeat the error of the Pharisees and Sadducees who failed to recognize the signs that their Messiah stood among them (Matt. 16:1-3). The lawlessness of our day, the widespread support of the world’s leaders of the ominous Great Reset, and the great delusion of our day all speak to the rapid approach of the seven-year tribulation. The emphasis on peace and safety as the day of God’s judgment approaches tells us that we have little time left until our departure to forever be with Jesus (1 Thess. 4:13-5:10). The signs Jesus gave us of His coming in Matthew 24:3-14 precisely describe the day in with we live. It’s as if He opened up a laptop and read news headlines from 2020 to His disciples. In verse 15, the Lord refers to the antichrist’s desecration of the temple that takes place halfway through the tribulation. The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has recreated all the furnishings for the third temple except for the Ark of the Covenant, have architectural designs for it in place, and are already training Levites to act as priests in the new temple. Based solely on the writings Peter Koenig and Klaus Schwab (founder and head of the WEF), I find that the planning of the globalists behind ID2020 and future vaccines bears a remarkable similarity to the mark of the beast as described in Revelation 13:15-18. These plans include implanting a chip containing personal data that will instantly connect to a distant database containing all his or her personal and financial information. Once these things become a reality, it will only be a small step for the antichrist to require his mark for all buying and selling worldwide. THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL The Lord does not need to write His message of impending judgment on the wall as He did for King Belshazzar in ancient Babylon. He has clearly revealed His warnings for all to see in Scripture, yet so few recognize their relevance for today. They refuse to acknowledged what they know from God’s Word. Jeremiah wrote, “They have healed the wound of my people lightly; / saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ / when there is no peace” (6:14). If the prophet were alive today, I believe he would similarly warn us of shepherds who ignore the signs of God’s impending judgment and the Lord’s imminent return and insist that life will someday return to normal just as has always done in the past. Biblical encouragement that does not include an awareness of the end times and Jesus’ appearing may comfort believers to some extent, but it only heals the wound “lightly” of those who face economic disaster, personal afflictions, tragedies, and the many other harsh realities of life under COVID-19 imposed lockdowns, draconian restrictions, and falsified panic. The good news is that we serve an awesome and sovereign Lord who controls history and someday will reign over all the nations of the world (Psalm 46:10). He’s not surprised by mad rush of our leaders toward a one world government; He revealed long ago that this would happen in the last days just as we see taking place before our eyes. The best comfort we have in these perilous times is that Jesus is coming to take us to the place He’s preparing for us (John 14:1-3) and all the signs point to this happening in the very near future. The times are dark, but we possess a glorious hope. Originally published by Jonathan Brentner – reposted with permission.
BY JONATHON VAN MAREN/BRIDGEHEAD.CA DECEMBER 26, 2020
Pro-family activists said that polygamy and polyamory would be next in the queue after marriage was redefined by Obergefell, and everything is unfolding right on schedule. The pattern is familiar. First, personal stories are employed in a willing media eager to cover the next weird thing, exploiting instinctive empathy and beginning the process of normalization. Children are usually involved and utilized as evidence that legal recognition of alternative family arrangements are necessary. Finally, the courts cave, predictably announcing that they are only recognizing an already-existing reality rather than making a substantial change. Exhibit A is a story out of California. Back in 2017, a “throuple” of men successfully petitioned a judge to put all three of them on the birth certificate of a little girl named Piper. Dr. Ian Jenkins and Alan Mayfield met in 2003, and added another partner to their relationship upon meeting Jeremy Hodges, a zoo-keeper, in 2012. They discussed having children–the media reports on this ignore the fact that obviously, men cannot create children without women. But children have been turned into a commodity, and our society has decided that gay men have more of a right to children than children have a right to mothers. As The Daily Mail grotesquely put it: “They were offered embryos by a female friend, Meghan.” The men had been given children, and now they needed to rent a womb. As the Mail put it, “a different friend offered to be the surrogate for the embryos, and they paid for many lawyers, Piper was born, followed several years later by Parker.” Now, the three men just needed legal recognition for their arrangement and appealed to a San Diego judge to be recognized as three fathers. The judge initially refused, stating that she couldn’t unilaterally establish a new precedent.00:0002:15 According to Jenkins, “Alan went ‘full mama bear.’ He basically interrupted the proceedings and told them to swear us all in. We all gave very tearful testimonies about why we needed to become parents. You could see the emotion on the judge’s face. She looked at all the options in front of her and found a way to use existing laws to give us the first birth certificate of its kind anywhere.” This, predictably, has been hailed as a landmark loophole for polyamorous throuples and a potential path to legal recognition for a variety of arrangements. The men now have a book coming out next March, written by Ian Jenkins, titled Three Dads and a Baby (a riff on the title of the 1987 comedy Three Men and a Baby.) The book explains how Ian is called ‘papa,’ Alan is ‘dada,’ and Jeremy is “daddy,” and Jenkins calls their arrangement “just three tame, regular people who spend a lot of time talking about what to have for dinner.” In short? Their family is just like yours, only with no Mama or Mommy–just men. But if Jenkins is to be believed, mothers don’t do anything a father can’t do. Men and women are simply interchangeable. The point of the new book, of course, is to persuade as all that three dads and no moms is great for kids. According to the Mail: “Ian said they also wanted to raise awareness of the need for more legal rights for polyamorous families…’I really worry about someone who lives somewhere that’s not as accepting as California and wants to live this kind of life and can’t move,’ he said. ‘Some states are just brutal. They make every effort to impair parenting by nontraditional families and are really unhelpful. I’m hoping this starts the wheels turning that families come in lots of different arrangements.'” Three Men and a Baby, no doubt, will promptly be turned into an acclaimed documentary or move with rave reviews in all the right publications. We will be informed that only bigots believe that children need mothers, and that to even insinuate such a thing is shocking and outrageous. We will be told that denying children mothers by celebrating family arrangements where children are raised by groups of men is a sign of progress. And when the children tell us otherwise, decades down the road, it will be too late to make a difference. Originally published at the Bridgehead – reposted with permission.

Where does it say that God is triune? We are all taught that God is made up of three persons in one (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) but where does it say this in the Scriptures? We are not to simply believe what our pastors teach us or what we read in books. We need to search it out for ourselves in the Scriptures. If you were asked where in the Scriptures it says this, would you be able to answer? We read on occasions where different persons are present at the same time such as when the Father’s voice from heaven, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove, and Jesus himself were all present at Jesus’ baptism. We naturally see them as three separate persons independent from each other; however, they are in fact different revelations of a triune God. There is a Greek rule which says that when the word “the” (ho) is placed before two substantives and each is separated by the verb “is” (esti), it means that the two substantives are absolutely equivalent in every aspect. In John 17:17 we see this pattern when it says “the Word IS the Truth”; therefore, “the Word” is absolutely identical to “the Truth” and are in fact one and the same. In 1 John 5:6 we see the same pattern which says “the Spirit IS the Truth”. Again “the Spirit” is identical to “the Truth”. Putting the two verses together we see that: The Truth = The Word = The SpiritThe next verse, 1 John 5:7 then tells us that the three witnesses in heaven are “the Father”, “the Word”, and “the Holy spirit” and that these three are One. Of these, which person is represented in each? We are told in John 1:1-5 that “The Word” was with God and the Word was God and the Word was the Light of men (Jesus Christ: John 8:12). The triune nature of God is therefore: The Truth = The Word = The Spirit (The Father) = (Jesus Christ) = (Holy Spirit)It is difficult for us to comprehend this as we see them as three distinct persons and yet that they are one and the same. Even the apostles had trouble understanding this concept as Philip asked Christ to show them the Father and Jesus replied: “… Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.” John 14:9-10 We may not understand this very difficult concept but know that when we accept Jesus Christ and are also “in Him”, as He is in the Father, and we are part of His Kingdom and as such we must always present ourselves spotless and never intentionally disobey and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. Always remember that we are commanded to study His Word (2 Timothy 2:15). “The Pure Word” is an invaluable study tool which shows the original depth of meaning of each verse as written by the apostles and understood by the early Church.

You probably remember the rumors about the Capitol Police doing nothing when the goon squad attacked the Capitol. Well, they were not rumors. This is what Marxists do. Lie, distort, race bait, promote class warfare, produce false flags, project their wrongs on others and deceive. (Go to The Gateway Pundit website to watch this video). Blessings, Pastor Steve <><
After you watch this video I want you to ask yourself, why hasn’t this been played on every major news network in the country?
The reason is that this video completely destroys the narrative that all Trump Supporters who went to Washington D.C. on January 6th are violent domestic terrorists.
This unidentified man in a MAGA hat approaches Capitol Police, who are seemingly calm standing off to the side of the Capitol, while it is being stormed and asks “why are you allowing this to happen?”

D. L. Moody’s ministry-changing advice to J. Wilbur Chapman was, “You are making a mistake in your ministry. What you are doing does not count for much; your preaching – I say it with all kindness – does not win souls.”
I care not where I go or how I live or what I endure so that I may save souls. When I sleep, I dream of them; when I awake, they are first in my thoughts….no amount of scholastic attainment, of able and profound exposition of brilliant and stirring eloquence can atone for the absence of a deep, impassioned, sympathetic love for human souls. -David Brainerd
We Christians too often substitute prayer for playing the game. Prayer is good; but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is nothing but a blatant hypocrisy, a despicable Pharisaism. -C. T. Studd

Above all, we must realize that no…weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today’s world do not have. -Ronald Reagan
For more than a thousand years, the Bible, collectively taken, has gone hand in hand with civilization, science, law – in short, with the moral and intellectual cultivation of the species – always supporting and often leading the way. -Samuel Coleridge
The best evidence of the Bible’s being the Word of God is found between its covers. -Charles Hodge
In all unbelief there are these two things: a good opinion of one’s self and a bad opinion of God. -Horatius Bonar
