NYC Mayor Adams rage-quits race; Pastor Voddie Baucham passes at 56; revival and pushback accelerate; NHS peddles more 'public health' nonsense; Democrats sue over Guard in Portland; more.
Thank you as always, Janice, for providing just the right passages of Scripture at just the right time. I appreciate you and never miss your post in the comments!
Julie Ann, my pleasure! I missed Saturday because I was driving to see my GRANDBABY when the post dropped. I can usually multitask but not at 80 mph. 🚙💨
I missed it too, but traveling to see ailing dadio! Congratulations on your grand baby 👶🏻
If prayers were ever needed for dad this is the time. He’s 93! Prayers for the best possible outcome for him whatever god decides. Note: he’s not a religious person but he’s a good man.
Prayers for his Salvation! Goodness is not the standard for salvation, only faith in Christ Jesus for the work he has already done on the cross for us. Praying some one can bring him to the foot of the cross, repentance and faith in Our Loving Savior...
I'm reading a couple of chapters of Daniel for a Bible study, and it's really speaking to what's going on in the world. Daniel is a great example of how to live in a God-forsaken world and remain obedient to God when it would be much easier to conform to the world.
Voddie Baucham's passing wasn't a complete surprise, to his family and close followers at least. He had been dealing with heart issues for the past several years. It is sad to lose him at such a young age.
I had not heard of him until today and I regret not having known about him or listening to any of his sermons. God keeps taking away these wonderful people way too early when they could have stayed and continued to make the world that much better for all of us. I am becoming quite alarmed about all this and will be asking God to kindly stop this, at least for a long while until our country is back on track.
Perhaps this is indeed God’s plan; I was also not aware of Baucham before today. However, in these peoples’ passing, their messages ring louder and clearer. Please have faith in God’s direction.
If it has happened then God has planned it for reasons that if we could understand then we would be like God. He is the all knowing and all powerful One. None can know or thwart His way.
Voddie has written a number o excellent books. I highly recommend them. Many are speciphically on issues o phamily, raising children well, and to some extent issues relating to media. I have seen up close and personal the impact these have had on the children in a number o households I know well.
God is not your buddy. He is The King of All. He's your Father if you are in Christ and you are bowed to The Father's will. As His child you may run to His arms, cry, and tell Him you don't understand and you can even beg for what you want but He has already given you the must important need. Himself to love and live forever but you must come to Him His own way. Even the child of a King must have the proper respect thru the sacrificial assignment of Christ. And perhaps you do but others need to know.
Luke 11:9-13 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
I hope he listens to you, he sure doesn't listen to me!
Here's a really fine old guy that gave several strong early warnings about the Covid death-jabs, and got banned from most online info sights... not exactly the picture of a "positive thinker"... but...
Don’t question Almighty God! He has our days numbered in the Book of Life; He is all-knowing, all-loving, always present…nothing escapes His notice. Trust Him!
I am talking to him, letting Him know my frustration at taking people so important to the cause of Christianity. I am blunt with Him, He listens. And if I ? him, that is between Him and I and there is nothing wrong with it.
Our Father who is in heaven and is omnipresent, Holy holy holy is Your Name. Your kingdom comes and Your Will will be done on Earth as it is in heaven, and none can thwart the power of The Creator. Thank you for giving us The Way of eternal life, by The Truth of Your Word written and incarnate, and the indwelling of Holy Spirit as Your seal of ownership on us by Your sacrificial redemption. And may we be forgiving to others as You have been toward us. And guard us in temptation but thank You for Your deliverance now and forever foe Thine omis the Kingdom, and all power and all glory alone forever and ever Amen.
Lori, I am a widow. My husband was taken with no notice. He was a man of God and served Him mightily through a ministry he started to help house men, women and children who would otherwise be on the street. His death shocked us, his family, and the community. But, despite the heartache, God has been so faithful!! The day I felt most loved by God was the day He took my husband. He does not leave us alone, but sends comfort and strength. I know He is doing this for the families of Charlie and Voddie as well. He is a good God, even when we don't understand His ways.
God's ways are not our ways. I want the good guys to stay, and yet, I want to trust completely whatever God deems. At this moment we don't know why. Maybe we will on this side of the cross, maybe not. But our trust is not in them but in Him. Let's keep praying for God to raise up new giants of the faith to speak to these generations now, and those to come....
I can totally understand that. We don’t always like Gods plan, but it doesn’t matter. God will sort it out. We will understand by and by. I hope you can get to the point of acceptance. 🙏🏻😘
Jesus died in the most heinous of ways and He most undeservedly! There have been thousands of years of Christians dying in horrible ways at the hands of religious pretenders. Even I have murdered innocence. It's the way we come to understand how wicked we are and how holy God is. We are all wicked, every one.
Luke 7:47-50 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?” And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
You can find Voddie Baucham's sermons online; he had a really great series on Revelation. Note what Job said to the Lord: "A man's days are already determined, and the number of his months is wholly in Your control, and he cannot pass the bounds of his allotted time." Job 14:5 (Amplified Bible) God's timing and His ways are always perfect.
Well, more days could have been afforded to some. The evil go on and on and on and the good ones go too early. I am pissed about this quite frankly and letting God know it.
That's what Job, Jonah, Habakkuk, and Matt all said. Guys knows how we think about Him and He very kindly answers....
Matthew 8:24-26 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
He was an unapologetic giant of the faith! Thankfully, we have all his preaching and teaching on video. I love his testimony and coming to Christ. Can't wait till we meet him and many others like him in The Celestial Kingdom!
Same thing...they have had a lifetime to do bad things....(I am an old timer...)..It's a saying....and it took me a long time to figure it out...that the young are truly the only good because they haven't had time to do bad things....as we all do...if we are honest...
Thank you Janice for the link to Baucham’s sermon. I watched the whole thing and was blown away by his message. The church that I attended during the lockdown held services outside in a park. Although I knew that viral diseases were impossible to transmit between humans as a result of my research, I found that telling the other people in the congregation that fact caused instant rejection and I therefore I have relented to this day. Yesterday at an event at an another church I began telling the truth and was relieved to have an accepting audience.
Shutting the churches down but not the liquor stores made me mad... Even madder, the churches obeyed when they didn't have to. At the first test of faith, they caved. Shame
This video is old, but it is one of my favorites of Voddie Baucham’s - “Why I choose to believe in the Bible.” I cannot recommend this message enough- amazing message interlaced w his wonderful wit AND his own personal testimony. He grew up in LA, with a single mom, never heard the name of Jesus until he went to college. But the full story is truly remarkable. He was funny and very very smart. No doubt Voddie and Jeff could have been best friends. (sound is a little muffled for an about 16 mins but then it clear up.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbkqLKqTEp8
tysm. I closed my utubeand boycotting them. they are actively taking down CK utubes and censoring conservative comments. I made 10 comments in one day 4 times and they took them all down. I will try another way to find his sermons.
Wow. I love that so much! He is in heaven now and as he said, his body will be resurrected on the great day when Christ returns, as will all who trust in Jesus. Thank you for sharing that clip!!
We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words.
I had no idea of his reach and influence, nor his stature as a pastor.
In early 2020, I stumbled across a video of Pastor Baucham explaining cultural marxism, and it completely altered my understanding of the last 50-100 years, as well as perceiving the 2020 demonstrations and riots as marxist. [Around the same time I was reading A Tale of Two Cities (Dickens), which helped me understand the French Revolution(s) as the first communist revolution (isn’t that odd?).]
The pastor’s presentation referenced people whom I’d never heard of before; I went down the rabbit hole, and my eyes were opened wide.
One of the individuals referenced in his presentation is Gramsci. It turns out that Pete Buttigieg’s father was the foremost translator of Gramsci’s letters from prison; those letters are the inspiration for the ‘march through the institutions.’ So, how am I ever to view Pete as anything other than a marxist costumed in acceptable form?
My condolences to those who found the pastor so inspirational. I will seek out more of his videos.
Here’s the link to the video that educated me so well.
I’m looking forward to the legal conflict of interests between Fed and State in the Portland situation getting wrapped up once and for all. We’ve already been going there at SCOTUS several times this year. There is a clear direction as especially regards National Guard and Federal buildings. As far as I am concerned, using federal tax money channels to support and defend federal buildings makes sense.
Remember the words of Kamala Harris, “No one is above the Law.” Antifa is a menace begun in Germany 1/2 a century ago, and alive and well at the top of the German political class. There is nothing organic about this organization. Here, Antifa are primary stacked by mentally ill younger people, many simply looking for purpose and community. They join Antifa because they didn’t join a different gang.
There should be no doubt about the legality. The President has the absolute right to protect and defend not only the public, but the Federal facilities under attack.
Trump has the authority. He doesn't have to officially engage the Insurrection Act, but if the actual insurrection by antifa continues he may well do that. Our country has been under attack from the insurgents for years now. There has been an ongoing counter-insurgency for years also, just not as public.
"Plots within plots" have become the lingua franca of conservative political discourse. Could it be that Antifa is exactly what it appears to be? That is an unfortunately widespread contingent of spoiled middle class young adults cheering for communism and being funded by Soros, et al? Essentially, they are terrorists, and should be dealt with as such.
And we know that "antifa mapping" has been an ongoing thing since the first Trump admin. in 2020, possibly before. There is plenty of evidence that antifa is a reality, and is funded by those who use it to attack America.
If freedom to "disagree and dissent" allows targeting, doxxing, and property destruction; then the government is allowed to target, dox, and seize property of the dissenters, and their organizers. Fair is fair with freedom.
Anitfa is a real org. and a real enemy. The people have also learned that something akin to the Patriot Act is an attempt to subvert our freedoms, so I think they will not accept another attempt.
So true. In Oregon and the Pacific NW we do not have predominately Black, Hispanic or Asian gangs. We have Antifa and White Supremacy gangs. They work at night and do their community activism then sleep during the day. They do drugs and get get drunk together. They definitely are a community of hate, rebellion and evilness. So very sad for their souls.
Yes the 'long march through the institutions' has weakened and those groups that used to be a way for young people to 'belong'. Church youth groups, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, etc,
Well clearly the immigration enforcement is National, not state, and our borders are national as well. If somehow the NG are not allowed, then the ICE role can be expanded to include more personnel with weapons and capacity to arrest these violent protestors. If Obama could heavily arm the IRS and hire thousands more, (to go after US citizens, primarily conservative as his IRS already proved) then the Trump administration ICE can defend itself and be given powers of arrest over violent resistance to enforcing constitutional law. Just a thought.
NG was allowed in LA and DC. They will be allowed in PDX.
As was intended, virtually all the federal agencies fall under the executive branch. SCOTUS has been reaffirming this fact. National Guard powers reside by both the governor of each state as well as POTUS.
Btw…. Federal Legislature may approve and fund agencies but has little power whether they get downsized or deleted. It is not their jurisdiction.
You mentioned the Fed which has been operated as a rogue agency. Recently SCOTUS reminded them that they fall under direction by the executive branch.
I tend to agree and thank you. Two concerns, one "there is not such thing as a clear law" is a general truth, and all can possibly be put on hold until successful appeal to a higher court or SCOUTS if the initial Judge is prejudice and not constitutional.
Jeff, thank you for your words of wisdom concerning the NHS and its unbelievable stance on first cousin marriages. This was an item that sent my blood pressure soaring this weekend.
My take: the NIH is screaming "We had to cave to the Islamist Pakis!" Also, when I checked on this, from the Daily Mail: "The guidance, released by NHS England's Genomics Education Programme, argues that 'although first-cousin marriage is linked to an increased likelihood of a child having a genetic condition or a congenital anomaly, there are many other factors that also increase this chance (such as parental age, smoking, alcohol use and assisted reproductive technologies), none of which are banned in the UK'." And you know who will pay for the medical costs of those genetic/congenital anomaly children. The people who don't marry their first cousins, that's who.
Please note that in the passage above, the word "alcohol" is presented in bold type and blue. Another cave to the Pakis, IMO. So. You may find this PubMed report interesting (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1298844/), on the frequency of "autosomal recessive disorders" and correlation of same with cousin marriage (55 of 100 Pakistani mothers interviewed, and 33% of their mothers had married a first cousin).
Some historically-challenged person made the claim that "We English have always allowed first cousin marriage--Henry VIII married Anne Boleyn's cousin Catherine Howard". Well, duh, Cathy was Anne's cousin, but not a blood relative of her husband-to-be.
I taught in a Saudi medical university for 8 years. One day I was having a conversation with an American woman who taught biochemistry there, and she told me she had just visited a special Saudi institution where the children damaged by their sky high level of inbreeding (lots of first cousin marriages), and she could hardly believe the level of birth deformities she saw there. She had never seen anything like it and she was shocked and heartbroken at what she saw. The Saudis would put such children in these homes because they wanted nothing to do with them and didn't want others to know they had them. Terribly sad, and it sure didn't seem they were connecting the dots.
They have the same problem in the hills of Alabama....my niece used to work in the premies section in Birmingham...the people could not understand about genetics....why I continually question whether humans are, in fact, the most intelligent species. Even wild animals send the male offspring to seek mates far from their siblings...
My cousin and I, when we were little kids, swore we were going to marry each other - our teenage cousin informed us that couldn’t happen…I read the stupid NHS comment and was about to jokingly tell me cousin that now we COULD get married! lol!
Without a doubt, the “guidance” was written by Islamic Pakis. In a particular area of N America I’m familiar with home care being taken over by East Indians and any complaints fall on deaf ears, things like communication problems, work done unsatisfactorily, etc., too bad, they send their best…no contest. They run the business now.
Mr. Childers, you consistently post jaw dropping, profound statements, but this one is now my favorite:
“If the maniacal excesses of the secular Twentieth Century —with its two world wars and the monstrous catastrophe of communism— have taught us anything, it is not about the threat of Christian participation in politics. The real threat is the absence of Christian participation in politics.”
Unsurprisingly, NYCs best mayors were Republicans, with one possible exception, at least in the last half century. Unfortunately the voting populace doesn’t seem to get the point. Let’s hope this time they will chose wisely
Not a chance. Mamdani will be easily elected. Perhaps his destructive reign will wake some of the apathetic and willfully ignorant.
I have long believed Michael Savage's comment that "liberalism is a mental disorder." It's in full flower now and I'm more firmly convinced he's right.
I find it strange that the media was basically telling us that he would be mayor from day one. I feel like he is being installed, no matter the elections. He seems evil (albeit good looking) and is most likely a puppet of an evil puppet master like Soros. As one who was born and raised in NYC and has family there, I cannot fathom this.
All of Staten Island is largely Itslian American and they won't vote for him, and the well off business owners, real estate owners, finance people throughout the 5 boroughs will not vote for his policies, the Jews wont vote for him I dont believe, so ...I Just dont get it.
I feel like all this is what we have to go through to get to the other side. PDJT says he will cut off all funding so he won't be able to fund his "the gov't will take care of you" plan. But it is horrible!
I always say, if you don’t vote you forfeit the right to complain. On average we have 55% participation in presidential elections, and much less in local and midterm elections.
…especially when they can augment their dole money with protest payments; protesting is FUN, they get out with their friends, throw stuff, scream and spit on the faces of law enforcement, dress like idiots, wear gas masks like in dress up playschool - what could be better?
NYC is a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah and the inhabtiants are truly sadists. As Jeff mentioned, " de Blasio hawked jabs with free french fries, single-handedly hollowed out the Big Apple’s economic core, shuttered schools, fired cops, teachers, and first responders for refusing experimental shots, paid drug dealers and illegal immigrant to infest the city’s finest hotels, let BLM looters run wild on Fifth Avenue, and generally made life miserable for everyone in every single way he could think of while awake or dreaming."
Seems new yorkers enjoy pain and love getting spanked. I hope for the day the city crashes and burns as that will be a vast improvement. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed so NYC needs to follow in their footsteps.
1. New York City is on the glide path of becoming "Escape from New York". Rudy's terms were good, but the rest has been awful. Worked there for a while. Never again. New York City will finally fall when the 'elites' there understand that they will no longer be able to isolate themselves behind their private security to try and have a 'normal' rich person experience in the city.
2. If Mamdani gets in, expect Trump to have troops in NYC in 2026 in the summer, to highlight the depravity there, and assist for the midterms in possibly getting a seat or two to flip red. Mamdani will be hailed by the clueless left as the new "young, clean and articulate" face of the rising Democrat Party (Think Obama in 2006, but the real Muslim version, not the hidden one Obama used). Expect more in-your-face 'peaceful riots' Britain-stye with the radicals, while the decrepit Dem leaders look the other way, just glad "those people" don't live too close to their own neighborhoods. (Dem leaders thrive on NIMBY.)
3. The IRS ironically has given pastors in the confines of their places of worship the ability to discuss various candidates and how they align with their own doctrinal beliefs. More freedom. Now it is up to the bishops, priests, pastors to man up and do the right thing clearly and without equivocation. If they do, the election in the Fall of 2026 will be a culmination of what we are seeing now with people turning to God seriously.
4. What keeps people living in Portland Oregon after this past decade? Soros money alone? What is the tax base that keeps sending their dollars in to redo the roads and buildings and clean up the filth over and over and over again?
I prefer the opposite. Support folks and industries who want to leave and then leave these cities to their own devices. Really to their own devices, no federal money. Apparently the financial sector, long the backbone of NYC, has one foot out the door already.
We see what happens when Detroit and Dearborn were left to just wither. The vacuum is filled with Islamists and pseudo-Sharia. One of the reasons we are in this deep hole that Trump, Charlie, and others have been working tirelessly to pull us out of is people just took a political "NIMBY" approach, until half the country became unrecognizable. We can't keep making the same mistake, complaining, and hoping for another miracle Trump-like figure to come along and rescue us. We need to stop ceding ground because it gets tough or we want to have our own little quiet circle. That circle gets smaller. "First they came for..."
In 2026 Trump should absolutely NOT send any kind of help into NYC. They e made their bed, let them stew in it. Especially if Mamdani wins by a landslide
Absolutely yes! NY votes all the craziness in, they really need to wallow in it. We should bus the homeless, criminals and illegals into their elite enclaves to set up tents.
Would probably take about 50 miles of fencing if you wanted to do the whole city of Portland. I think the "Furries" there would prefer dungeons instead, so maybe find an abandoned shopping mall near there and dig down a few levels to hold the rodents. It could be called the "Portland Prison". Then set up water cannons in the parking lots to keep their Furry Friends away easily when they come scampering up in their soy-boy outfits.
1. I hope NYC is destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah. Better for the country.
2. Let the commie facilitate its destruction, even better. Send no help but do not allow any new york cityers to leave and come to our states. you voted for it, you got it.
3. unfortunately there are lgbtqtrans priests, pastors etc in the church and not all of them are aligned with true church doctrine especially since they lead lives in direct opposition to it. huge problem there.
4. Take portland out too. they are degenerate. anyone normal would have left that forsaken hellhole years ago.
I am sick of the evil winning. The only language they know is violence so perhaps it is time to speak in their language before they kill us. We have tried being nice, trying to compromise, it ain't working. We are in a war so perhaps they will understand when we send equipped drones into portland or nyc when antifa strikes and have them understand that language. The line has been crossed so....
Re Portland: there are many, many rural-ish suburbs out there. It’s possible to live in a beautiful (highly taxed) house in a lovely area with a Target ten minutes away and never, ever have to step over an overdose victim.
They know the city has fallen (but they rarely have to go there) and they see the tents on the green spaces lining I-5 but can’t begin to grasp how their own permissive, progressive enablement policies have allowed this nightmare to metastasize. It’s just an affordable housing problem, right?
I hear you. The suburbs around Philadelphia used to be very nice. Then the Dems bleeped-up the city, and the ones who could afford to moved out, infecting the adjacent counties. We rarely ever go in the city, and thankfully things like the sports complexes are right off I-95 so you can get in and get out. But too many areas filthy. People mugged in the good areas. Druggie areas. And a DA, and each mayor, who think they don't have to really address crime. a Rudy Giuliani type could change things within a year.
I'm thinking more from a moral issues standpoint. No party is perfect, but one Party seems to revel in killing unborn children. Many mainline and Catholic pastors were shackled because of fear of losing funds for their social services 'ministry'. As a Catholic, I can tell you so many are walking around with a distorted view of true Catholic teaching, and the pastors won't 'go there' to clear things up, because the NGO's used to get a lot of money (USAID, CRS, etc) to the bishops. Throw in other issues like sodomy, contraception, euthanasia/Assisted-'suicide', IVF, etc., where the people don't have a good moral base to fight back against these. A fire needs to be lit. It isn't going to come from watching some youtube video by a conservative group.
There are a lot of Catholic priests who are democrats, as well as many Catholics. They just gloss over the so-called "bad stuff" that they doesn't agree with Catholic teaching with and glom onto "the Democrat candidate is helping the little guy."
It is a huge problem in the Catholic Church. I think when Catholic immigrants came to America, they saw themselves as a persecuted minority and like blacks and Jews became attached to Democrats, who they saw as their protectors.
Their ability to gloss over issues like abortion is truly amazing. But so little truth is preached to them.
Yes a lot of Catholics were duped by the Chicago Cardinal Bernadin's "Seamless garment" argument used to give aircover for guys like Teddy Kennedy to claim they were 'pro-life' because they wanted a higher minimum wage. The Catholic church does a lot of good with schools, hospitals, relief services, etc. There are billions of dollars of fed money involved there. (It 'supercharged' with W. Bush's "Faith based initiatives". Not a good idea in hindsight because it basically had the leaders shutting up on key issues over the past 2 decades for fear of losing those dollars, which help some people, and also employee a lot of people.)
There are a lot of RINO's, and there are Catholics, Jews, Protestants, who put their political affiliation ahead of their moral foundation. For them, faith is just another 'box checked' instead of a Person who they will have to give an account to. Serious pastors recognize what is at stake and have been hampered too long in speaking more directly, so euphemisms have to be used, and voter's guides slipped on people's windshields during services.
It's time for boldness and clarity. We won't convince everyone. The road to destruction is wide...
And a great many of the federally funded so called "Christian" NGOs offered cover and concealment of the illegal immigrants, esp those "unaccompanied minors". WHERE are those still missing kids?!?
Sadly, "adrenochrome" is the answer to what happened to some of those kids. Some disappeared for "moloch" type activities, and some for Sodom/Gommorah. And you can go back even further to ask "What happened to the Haitian kids from the early 2010's?" People diving in deeply to that seem to get "suicided" for some reason.
"No party is perfect, but one Party seems to revel in killing unborn children."
Agree! But the GOP seems to revel in supporting the murder of children after they are born... IF, they happen to live in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, etc, etc...
Two choices only Dude. If you can't make distinctions, but only offer contrarianism, there isn't much reason to continue conversing. Notable Republicans have been calling out the indiscriminate killing Israel is doing, and they are being savaged for it. I can't seem to find any notable Democrats calling out the dismemberment of unborn babies. 70 million worldwide annually is the estimate. (Almost 5x the number of Palestinians alone.) And you left the slaughter of Nigerian Christians off your list of countries. Maybe work on proportionality when bringing 'objections'. Have a nice day, and thank you for your attention to this matter.
According to who... YOU?? LOL!! List the Republicans that have come out against Israel and their slaughter...
Dems are scum... what's your point?
I don't approve of abortion, but it is not my business, why not let "God" broil all abortionists and their patients in hell and let it go? Is a human being created at conception? Prove it.
I agree, no reason to continue conversing...
No offense, but you sound like a total asshole.
Maybe work on your arrogant, pompous judgemental personality...
And your mimicking Trump's infantile and moronic use of the term "thank you for your attention to this matter" just makes you into more of a pathetic turd.
That's why it's important for people to find a church within their chosen faith that fits their values. I think most churches have the potential of running the gamut from really liberal to really conservative. Choose wisely.
And... FWIW, the Catholic church in our town is the only one that doesn't fly the "pride" flag on "pride weekend."
Around the world, every religion is managed by humans, who do all kinds of awful things. Catholics aren't the only ones to suffer from abuse and malfeasance, they're just the most publicized.
One thing the Catholic Church has going for it is a Catechism where people can go to compare what their maybe ignorant(or not) pastor who is spouting strange things can be compared against. It's pretty clear what the true position of abortion, sodomy, etc. is. I feel bad for the 'one room schoolhouse' type non-denoms because they have to figure each and everything out themselves if they want to be truly sure, and vet their own sources. No one can do all that.
Then it would be the pastor's role to explain, very clearly, with Biblical support, just why he is taking this position. On the other hand, a personal note: My father, in the early 60's, stopped going to church (he had been the Sunday School Superintendent) when our minister started bringing the Vietnam War into his sermons. But perhaps our minister hadn't clearly explained why, and on what grounds, he felt moved to do this. I was too young to be aware of all this.
Note it would never have been illegal to talk about the Vietnam war. The only prohibition was against political activity which was defined as supporting or opposing someone running for political office. Talking about the issues apart from the candidates has always been allowed as long as it was not a substantive part of the nonprofit's activities.
I was not talking about any point of legality. Simply that the minister’s bringing politics into the service drove one long-term faithful member out of attendance.
In the early 70s, the priest at our local church started to literally say, "This is how you should vote." I have no idea if he gave an explanation or not.
So... we simply changed to a more conservative parish. It's really that simple.
It should be noted that many black churches have had politicians speaking from the pulpit for years. Rev Jessie Jackson for example. And when the IRS was brave enough to bring up the issue with a church, if the church did not roll over and play dead the IRS would dismiss the matter. This recent decision of the IRS simply evens the playing field.
Replying to point 4, as a native Portlander, I will try to reply to what keeps me here with a family of four school-aged kids.
I'm a Christian homeschooling mom, and what tends to keep my friends here in the Portland area is first, family, and second, jobs (especially tech/Intel jobs here on the westside). Personally, it's because God hasn't told us to leave yet. I've watched many friends leave the area over the years, and if they leave out of fear or other reasons not led by God's Spirit, they have wound up elsewhere in even worse messes than they feared would happen around here. I know God will tell us when it's His time for us to leave here, and until then, I hope we can be a bright light in a dark place.
I grieve over my city and pray often for God to show His power here. "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Or Portland, Oregon??? Lord God, thou knowest. Yet I pray often to see a work of His grace, even here.
Things that make living here easier -
-Family!
-A strong Bible based church
-A great homeschool community
-A mild climate (aside from several months of chilly rain). No/infrequent storms, bugs, summer humidity or heat, snow.
-So many outdoor places to hike and explore. The Christian young-earth creation community is strong here, and it's so easy to get out to see the creative works of God.
I hope this goes a small distance in answering your question.
The passing of Voddie - may the Lord bless his wife and children and grandchildren. I've only been listening to his teachings for a few years. He opened my eyes and really challenged my ideas on the roles at home, the roles of/in church, the roles of government in education. Will miss him! And this... after Charlie and MacArthur and Dobson 💔
I feel very much as you do. The weight of speaking truth in love fall heavier on all of us now. We had the great privilege of hearing Dr Baucham a few times over the years but we feel so blessed to have heard him in person just about 13 days before he passed. Such a beautifully gifted teacher of God’s word- a life truly lived for Christ. I shared a old video (about 11 yrs old) of his above but I would like to share a message giving in his last week (possibly the last public message). I would hope to encourage all of us to please listen, maybe even more than once and share with others. - https://youtu.be/QXHWTrys3RY?feature=shared
[Ask yourself: what business does the NHS have in promoting incestuous unions as “healthy marriages” in the name of public health? Setting aside the morality issue, first-cousin marriages aren’t healthy. It’s not even controversial.]
And now apply that to "gender affirming care" here in the States.
Because we have to welcome our Muslim brethren and acknowledge that perhaps at least half of NHS staff are of an Islamic bent. All cultures are equal and diversity is our strength, don’t you know. Except in genetic profiles it would appear.
It does not matter. They were at church. I have Mormon friends and have gone to service with them and they are Christians. Wow, sounds like you approve that they were killed and the church burned since they are not your kind of Christian.
I hate that people of any faith are killed or injured, but you always need to ask, “Who is Jesus Christ?” For the Mormons, He is a prophet, a human who achieved godhood. For the Christian, He is God who took on flesh to die for our sins and rise to secure our eternity with Him.
This is a silly response. Because someone makes a distinction between the churches, you automatically assume that they must therefore hate the one, and love the other.
This is the kind of thinking that is characteristic of people that are unable to make distinctions beyond 'either/or', which, while it can be useful on occasion, is generally quite limiting, and practically begs for major logic fails.
In this case, good, faithful people were attacked in their church. That should be alarming to everyone, and persuade us to leave behind the internecine arguments.
Sure did. And you hit the nail on the head. And they (clara and signcut) call themselves Christians? A tragedy including children and that is what they worry about. Makes me want to convert if that is what holier than thou Christians sound like.
Indeeed. But I was starting to keep count of the reporters who said The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and those who omitted the frightening-two-words with The Church of Latter Day Saints. (Nope, I'm not a member.)
Yes, I saw the reports on Truth Social, I am not on TwiX. They will probably try to say the shooter was a conservative Trump supporter, but I saw one report that he was "anti"-Trump.
He donated $192.30 regularly since April of this year at least. That’s a significant amount each time for someone that doesn’t support a party. There are many posts on X by smaller accounts showing the donations - here’s just one. I can’t say for certain how reliable it is as there could be another person by same name doing the donating … but this is where I saw it:
He was anti-Mormon from what I have seen. He told a politician who went to his house while block-walking that Mormons were the anti-Christ. Dave Bondy interviewed the police. It seems legit.
Dave Bondy is a local reporter who went on Locals when he wasn’t allowed to print truth any longer. Shooter rammed an older Chevy truck bearing two American flags through the front glass doors of a church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints while they were in service. He then climbed out of the truck and opened fire on the congregation and set fire to the church. Police shot and killed the ex Marine within minutes of the rampage. A dozen parishioners were wounded, one to two, fatally. The church almost completely burned down. They are still searching for people missing, feared inside the church. This was about 50 miles from me.
From what I have read he sounds pretty traditional which IMO usually, although not always, equates to conservative. He apparently did not have a social.media presence but his now wife and mother did and both referenced him. Pretty wholesome stuff.
Vax damage, I would bet. Kathleen Janoski says the VA did not actually require the vax, but my own brother took it, thinking he had to, to keep his benefits. Those poisons mess with people's brains.
Thanks, Benjamin Two N’s—-but I was not referring to active-duty members suffering a “take it or take a dishonorable discharge”—I was referring to those who are already out, but took the jab for the VA benefits.
I heard his young ill son died (from someone local there) - not positive on that, just what I was told. And he was apparently at odds with his mother. We'll have to wait to see what shakes out on that, I guess.
The guy had Trump signs up and American flags all over his truck. I believe he snapped and had issues with the local LDS church where his mother or possibly ex wife attended.
"In a 2024 federal lawsuit dismissed earlier this year, Edge made sweeping claims that included references to what he called "a Hate Crime (LGBQT toward a straight man (me)) who was raised as a straight male for (LGBTQ) purposes in an illegal pedophile sex ring."
He also accused his parents of being "LGBQT White Supremacist Pedophiles" who falsified his birth certificate, drugged him and tried to profit from him, while tying his alleged mistreatment to the Iraq War, the Abu Ghraib scandal and the Jeffrey Epstein case."
Yes, but the hot takes were all over the place re: the killer/motive. Applying the Bongino rule and waiting a day or 2 to really look into it. The only thing that seemed certain as of last night was that he was a veteran. But saw that there was also 2 different guys with the same name, Thomas Jacob Sanford, floating around and getting inter-mixed.
Europe was quite socialist long before Mussolini coined the term Fascism and the Russian Revolution.
Mussolini was a socialist and wanted national socialism, not international socialism like the USSR. (Socialists don't like other socialists?)
MAGA is nationalism, but not national socialism. It's nationalism based upon the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
'Liberals'/democrats are triggered by 'nationalism' giving them the excuse, in their puny minds, that any form of nationalism must be just like national socialism.
Antifa has a badge and flag too. Also, dress code and tribal chants. A group with strong emotional allegiance to symbols, uniformity, and a pledge to defend isn’t much different than what strong nationalist groups engage in.
Which worldview do you take? Which ideals would you defend and fight for? Any? None? This operates at the small “chapter” or “cellular” level, or could be interpreted as such by parents teaching their kids to be good and wise adults who appreciate their country.
Humans tend to be group oriented. Sometimes that works out for the betterment of all, but sometimes the group careens off the cliff, also as a group. We are currently observing this in the Democrat party.
What if everyone believes the axiom that all people are created equal and are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
That would be a hive mindset I could get behind. After I carefully considered how it could be distorted by malfeasors and determined it could not be readily exploited. See that is what we are currently living through. We have now that which you describe as an axiom. It is not the foundation of our rule of law but it is the first floor of the structure. And that is being readily exploited by those who are either wholly incompetent or deliberately determined to bring the structure down. People with no idea what due process means. People who think free speech means you can say whatever you damage well.please and suffer no backlash. People who have massive feelz for illegal residents of our nation (and frankly it does not engender more sympathy for me if they have-been-here-decades!!! because that just means they have had a long time to get things straight much of it in a very favorable political and legal climate). People who believe racism is valid because they label it anti-racism. People who so strongly believe in tolerance of others that they demand I tolerate those who mean me ill. I could go on but I feel my blood pressure rising.
I agree with almost all of that. I draw a slight distinction because I think that the foundation of western civilization is Christian-Judeo principles that predate the United States of America. The Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the subsequent Constitution drew on these principles so I see that as foundation. The words and ideas you identify were specifically articulated in the Declaration and Constitution. So I view that as a layer above the foundation. Maybe it is a distinction without a difference. That said, I think we are in agreement as to the founding principles and their role of underpinning the all important rule of law which makes it all possible. And I agree that at this moment in time it is not working as designed because of people who are self-interested.
Some have and some continue to do so. But the vast majority of humans who have ever inhabited the earth believed in a "creator" of some kind. In fact I would argue that is what set mankind on the path away from.the rest of the animals - the ability to ponder how did we get here and why? Even the most avowed modern day non-believer in a Supreme deity is descended from.those who did.
I believe that sociologists have determined that by the mid 20’s, most humans begin to ask, “What’s it all about? Why am I here?” Which leads to questions on the existence of higher beings.
This is the problem with political language, it's incomplete and makes assumptions.
WHAT is popular?
I think MAGA supporters agree with the axiom that all people are created equal and are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Nothing is wrong with populism. It is a regular feature of American politics which provides a method of course correction. Populism rises and then fades once its needs are met. It should be both acknowledged and lauded.
Obamacare forced citizens to tithe big portions of their wages to the insurance companies. The insurance companies are for-profit, not state run.
So Obamacare was definitely a fascist bill.
Not only the insurance companies were enriched. Obamacare handed $50 billion to the tech industry to computerize all medical records, which was done even though most medical professionals didn't like the programs, and the patients didn't like talking to professional's backs as they typed on the computers.
And Big Pharma also benefited because Obamacare forced every person who worked for the medical-industrial complex to be injected every year with the flu vaccine, whether they wanted it or not, and whether they worked directly with patients or not. This mandatory program started in 2013, when Obama was safely re-elected. And then they had the nerve to point to it as a precedent in 2021, when they forced most employees in the country to accept unwanted injections of the experimental GMO drug.
All of this is traditional fascism. This is why we have the Nuremberg Code, codified after WW2, which was ignored by the corporations and the government.
The repeal of the mandatory insurance tithing under Trump was a blessing to many people who couldn't afford the tithing or the tax penalties for being too poor to afford the tithing.
You think that is worrisome? The Trump admin just launched the Health Tech Grid, fusing federal agencies, private tech corporations, hospitals, and insurance companies. This is not just about digital records or better hospital systems. This is about centralizing control over the human body through data, algorithms, and surveillance. According to the official announcement, the “ecosystem” will include:
*AI-powered diagnostics and treatment planning
*Digital health monitoring across wearable devices
*Interoperable data systems shared across agencies and providers
*A unified push for tech-driven “health equity” (read: more federalized oversight)
This is the groundwork for total data integration, a system where our personal biometric information, vaccination status, behavior, and medical compliance are not just recorded, but scored, nudged, and possibly enforced. It’s openly stated in policy documents and pilot programs, from the ONC’s Trusted Exchange Framework (TEFCA) to CDC’s “Data Modernization Initiative.”
What can we do? Join the free online seminar produced by StandforHealthFreedom.com to learn five practical steps to reclaim your privacy and keep your information out of the grid’s reach.
I would say enacting the Affordable Care Act was the fascist act as you define fascism. After all the options were continuation of full private healthcare provision or full state provided healthcare. Obama signed a piece of legislation which handed provision of health services to private, third party, for profit entities. How is that not classic fascism?
No. The fascist part is the forced reliance on insurance (third party for profit entities). Saying there was to be a government pool does not rescue it because that is still insurance. See the California homeowner insurance high risk pools for example or high risk pools for automobile insurance for impaired drivers. The government just forces private carriers to back those pools. Sometimes directly. Sometimes indirectly through fees and other charges. Nor does reliance on subsidies rescue it and perhaps are actually compelling evidence of the fascist nature - there are many y, many, many people working jobs just for health insurance. Again, welcome to the plantation. But I agree that Republicans were complicit in a this. But unlike you I do not think any of them were good guys.

Absolutely. But the stranglehold of the provision of health services is part of that. I hate to in one Kamala Harfis, but we need some Venn diagrams on this.
Socialism/Fascism/communism is state control of the lives, liberty and property of individuals.
I observe socialists of all flavors like to diss other the others and want to obfuscate the what socialism does, control the lives, liberty and property of individuals.
So glad you have returned, safely, Mr. Childers. And most grateful for your commitment (do you ever sleep?) to your devoted readers, that despite flights, and hours lost in airports, and two hour jet lag, and preparing to give speeches and and and, you continued to provide us with our food.
Portland says it would go to the central library to research these “amendments” you speak of…however the houseless are still in there using the pages as TP. Sad!
Portland used to be a phenomenal city as recently as 2000. Full of natural beauty, history, interesting architecture, and amazing cultural opportunities. Probably why it had to be destroyed. We can’t have anything nice of course.
I’m sorry but that’s on the citizens who voted these commies in. And if the elections are corrupted, why haven’t the citizens done something to get election integrity or honest elections?? You must get involved at every level of government and make your voices heard! Be like Charlie!
Just like we citizens were able to effect federal elections, which are also fake and completely rigged? Nothing we lowly folk do or say matters to these scum, I live in PDX and I would say it's not nearly as blue as they like to pretend. Everything is controlled, down to the teachers unions. Very difficult to "get in" if you aren't known to be one of them already.
It’s actually extremely unsafe now. The citizens were of the fashionably liberal ilk in the old days and missed the window to stamp out the radicalism when it was in the infant stage. (They didn’t want to grapple with the eventuality.)
For if you cry for discernment,
Lift your voice for understanding;
. . .
Then you will discern righteousness and justice
And equity and every good course.
For wisdom will enter your heart
And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
Discretion will guard you,
Understanding will watch over you,
To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things;
From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness;
Who delight in doing evil
And rejoice in the perversity of evil;
. . .
So you will walk in the way of good men
And keep to the paths of the righteous.
For the upright will live in the land
And the blameless will remain in it;
But the wicked will be cut off from the land
And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.
— Proverbs 2:3, 9-14, 20-22 NAS95
I eagerly await the day when the wicked will be cut off from the land and the treacherous uprooted!!
We can’t even imagine with our earthly minds an existence without evil, but I sure long for it!
MacArthur said the thing he most looked forward to about heaven was the absence of ALL sin. That was a staggering thought to me. Can you imagine?!?
And now Voddie Baucham is there too, and R.C. Sproul and many other great teachers of the Word. Can't wait to meet them all!
Oh, yes. No sin in me and no sin in anyone else. No sin....it enthralls and boggles the mind. Can not wait.
We are living in the days of Noah. I, too, eagerly await that same day.
Thank you as always, Janice, for providing just the right passages of Scripture at just the right time. I appreciate you and never miss your post in the comments!
Julie Ann, my pleasure! I missed Saturday because I was driving to see my GRANDBABY when the post dropped. I can usually multitask but not at 80 mph. 🚙💨
I missed it too, but traveling to see ailing dadio! Congratulations on your grand baby 👶🏻
If prayers were ever needed for dad this is the time. He’s 93! Prayers for the best possible outcome for him whatever god decides. Note: he’s not a religious person but he’s a good man.
Praying you can lead him to Jesus!
May the Lord have mercy on him physically and spiritually and provide all he needs, in Jesus' name.
Thank you Janice 🙏🏻❤️
Prayers for his Salvation! Goodness is not the standard for salvation, only faith in Christ Jesus for the work he has already done on the cross for us. Praying some one can bring him to the foot of the cross, repentance and faith in Our Loving Savior...
🙏
Janice, Congratulations! I so enjoyed the 3 we've had. Now they're teenagers & it's all different 😊💕
May it EVER BE THUS!!
Excellent!!!! May i quote you? ;-)
Technically it’s Solomon. 🙂
😊
I'm reading a couple of chapters of Daniel for a Bible study, and it's really speaking to what's going on in the world. Daniel is a great example of how to live in a God-forsaken world and remain obedient to God when it would be much easier to conform to the world.
Yes, he is. But I remember something about lions. 😱🫣🙌🏻🙏🏻
I’m a heathen so the word ‘equity’ in the fourth line scares me. 😟 Because it can be misinterpreted in today’s world. I see it meaning fairness.
5th line - for wisdom will enter your heart.... you've decerned correctly! 😊
Voddie Baucham's passing wasn't a complete surprise, to his family and close followers at least. He had been dealing with heart issues for the past several years. It is sad to lose him at such a young age.
May he rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon him.
I had not heard of him until today and I regret not having known about him or listening to any of his sermons. God keeps taking away these wonderful people way too early when they could have stayed and continued to make the world that much better for all of us. I am becoming quite alarmed about all this and will be asking God to kindly stop this, at least for a long while until our country is back on track.
Perhaps this is indeed God’s plan; I was also not aware of Baucham before today. However, in these peoples’ passing, their messages ring louder and clearer. Please have faith in God’s direction.
If it has happened then God has planned it for reasons that if we could understand then we would be like God. He is the all knowing and all powerful One. None can know or thwart His way.
I am not liking His plan. I speak frankly with God and have let Him know this. Not that it makes a difference but doing it anyway.
Genesis 50:20
"As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive"
please tell that to the families of the dead.
I find myself questioning why the people we truly need right now are taken away from us.
Amen.
I agree about God’s plan. Their deaths are not in vain but are being used to amplify their messages to a larger audience. Jesus I trust in You!
Voddie has written a number o excellent books. I highly recommend them. Many are speciphically on issues o phamily, raising children well, and to some extent issues relating to media. I have seen up close and personal the impact these have had on the children in a number o households I know well.
I am not liking His plan. I speak frankly with God and have let Him know this. Not that it makes a difference but doing it anyway.
God is not your buddy. He is The King of All. He's your Father if you are in Christ and you are bowed to The Father's will. As His child you may run to His arms, cry, and tell Him you don't understand and you can even beg for what you want but He has already given you the must important need. Himself to love and live forever but you must come to Him His own way. Even the child of a King must have the proper respect thru the sacrificial assignment of Christ. And perhaps you do but others need to know.
Luke 11:9-13 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
He is all to me and my buddy and friend.
I hope he listens to you, he sure doesn't listen to me!
Here's a really fine old guy that gave several strong early warnings about the Covid death-jabs, and got banned from most online info sights... not exactly the picture of a "positive thinker"... but...
https://drvernoncoleman.substack.com/p/ten-ways-theyre-killing-us-to-reach?
Don’t question Almighty God! He has our days numbered in the Book of Life; He is all-knowing, all-loving, always present…nothing escapes His notice. Trust Him!
I am talking to him, letting Him know my frustration at taking people so important to the cause of Christianity. I am blunt with Him, He listens. And if I ? him, that is between Him and I and there is nothing wrong with it.
He likes questions. Jesus came down for that purpose. Come let us reason together.
Our Father who is in heaven and is omnipresent, Holy holy holy is Your Name. Your kingdom comes and Your Will will be done on Earth as it is in heaven, and none can thwart the power of The Creator. Thank you for giving us The Way of eternal life, by The Truth of Your Word written and incarnate, and the indwelling of Holy Spirit as Your seal of ownership on us by Your sacrificial redemption. And may we be forgiving to others as You have been toward us. And guard us in temptation but thank You for Your deliverance now and forever foe Thine omis the Kingdom, and all power and all glory alone forever and ever Amen.
And? We all know the above but that does not settle frustration and despair at the evil around us.
Another verse I've been falling back on..... hope it helps you, too.
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."
Romans 12:12
Thank you but not now.
No but yes. I wasn't judging you. I was trying to encourage you AND OTHERS.
And MOSTLY MYSELF.
I know RJ:} Thank you.
Lori, I am a widow. My husband was taken with no notice. He was a man of God and served Him mightily through a ministry he started to help house men, women and children who would otherwise be on the street. His death shocked us, his family, and the community. But, despite the heartache, God has been so faithful!! The day I felt most loved by God was the day He took my husband. He does not leave us alone, but sends comfort and strength. I know He is doing this for the families of Charlie and Voddie as well. He is a good God, even when we don't understand His ways.
God's ways are not our ways. I want the good guys to stay, and yet, I want to trust completely whatever God deems. At this moment we don't know why. Maybe we will on this side of the cross, maybe not. But our trust is not in them but in Him. Let's keep praying for God to raise up new giants of the faith to speak to these generations now, and those to come....
Very well said. 100% agree.
The old giants were just fine. I am frustrated with God right now.
I can totally understand that. We don’t always like Gods plan, but it doesn’t matter. God will sort it out. We will understand by and by. I hope you can get to the point of acceptance. 🙏🏻😘
As you said, it does not matter. Nothing I can do about it. Just sit here and watch all these people die in the most heinous of ways.
Jesus died in the most heinous of ways and He most undeservedly! There have been thousands of years of Christians dying in horrible ways at the hands of religious pretenders. Even I have murdered innocence. It's the way we come to understand how wicked we are and how holy God is. We are all wicked, every one.
Luke 7:47-50 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?” And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
You can find Voddie Baucham's sermons online; he had a really great series on Revelation. Note what Job said to the Lord: "A man's days are already determined, and the number of his months is wholly in Your control, and he cannot pass the bounds of his allotted time." Job 14:5 (Amplified Bible) God's timing and His ways are always perfect.
Well, more days could have been afforded to some. The evil go on and on and on and the good ones go too early. I am pissed about this quite frankly and letting God know it.
That's what Job, Jonah, Habakkuk, and Matt all said. Guys knows how we think about Him and He very kindly answers....
Matthew 8:24-26 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
But they did not perish and got to live many more days.
He was an unapologetic giant of the faith! Thankfully, we have all his preaching and teaching on video. I love his testimony and coming to Christ. Can't wait till we meet him and many others like him in The Celestial Kingdom!
"Only the good die young."..(.although there is the logic that the young have not had time to go bad...)
then what does that say about old timers ?
They die too. All must die once and after that is the judgement.
Same thing...they have had a lifetime to do bad things....(I am an old timer...)..It's a saying....and it took me a long time to figure it out...that the young are truly the only good because they haven't had time to do bad things....as we all do...if we are honest...
Yes, indeed, if we are honest.
Yes, what you're saying is, we by far know what's best for us than God Almighty, our Creator
I’ve ordered 2 books in my library system and have him cued up on YouTube.
ok good to hear.
Here's a message from 2022 where he mentions his medical issues from the year before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37SzTm0xlk0
Thank you Janice for the link to Baucham’s sermon. I watched the whole thing and was blown away by his message. The church that I attended during the lockdown held services outside in a park. Although I knew that viral diseases were impossible to transmit between humans as a result of my research, I found that telling the other people in the congregation that fact caused instant rejection and I therefore I have relented to this day. Yesterday at an event at an another church I began telling the truth and was relieved to have an accepting audience.
Shutting the churches down but not the liquor stores made me mad... Even madder, the churches obeyed when they didn't have to. At the first test of faith, they caved. Shame
I haven’t even had a chance to watch it all, but started it and saved it.
This video is old, but it is one of my favorites of Voddie Baucham’s - “Why I choose to believe in the Bible.” I cannot recommend this message enough- amazing message interlaced w his wonderful wit AND his own personal testimony. He grew up in LA, with a single mom, never heard the name of Jesus until he went to college. But the full story is truly remarkable. He was funny and very very smart. No doubt Voddie and Jeff could have been best friends. (sound is a little muffled for an about 16 mins but then it clear up.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbkqLKqTEp8
tysm. I closed my utubeand boycotting them. they are actively taking down CK utubes and censoring conservative comments. I made 10 comments in one day 4 times and they took them all down. I will try another way to find his sermons.
Rumble has many of his sermons
https://rumble.com/v6ubizv-the-power-of-gods-providence-voddie-baucham.html?e9s=src_v1_cmd%2Csrc_v1_ucp_a
https://x.com/creedconfession/status/1971356119797997975?s=42 Voddie Baucham “Someday you will hear a rumor that I am no more. Don’t you believe it.”
Wow. I love that so much! He is in heaven now and as he said, his body will be resurrected on the great day when Christ returns, as will all who trust in Jesus. Thank you for sharing that clip!!
We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words.
1 Thes 4:15-18
He KNEW the doctrine of Resurrection!!! Hallelujah!!!
Yes it is deeply sad! I am grieved at least loosing these giants.
I disagreed theologically but he was a good man and a contender for the faith.
I had no idea of his reach and influence, nor his stature as a pastor.
In early 2020, I stumbled across a video of Pastor Baucham explaining cultural marxism, and it completely altered my understanding of the last 50-100 years, as well as perceiving the 2020 demonstrations and riots as marxist. [Around the same time I was reading A Tale of Two Cities (Dickens), which helped me understand the French Revolution(s) as the first communist revolution (isn’t that odd?).]
The pastor’s presentation referenced people whom I’d never heard of before; I went down the rabbit hole, and my eyes were opened wide.
One of the individuals referenced in his presentation is Gramsci. It turns out that Pete Buttigieg’s father was the foremost translator of Gramsci’s letters from prison; those letters are the inspiration for the ‘march through the institutions.’ So, how am I ever to view Pete as anything other than a marxist costumed in acceptable form?
My condolences to those who found the pastor so inspirational. I will seek out more of his videos.
Here’s the link to the video that educated me so well.

Definitely going to watch this. Thank you!
I’m looking forward to the legal conflict of interests between Fed and State in the Portland situation getting wrapped up once and for all. We’ve already been going there at SCOTUS several times this year. There is a clear direction as especially regards National Guard and Federal buildings. As far as I am concerned, using federal tax money channels to support and defend federal buildings makes sense.
Remember the words of Kamala Harris, “No one is above the Law.” Antifa is a menace begun in Germany 1/2 a century ago, and alive and well at the top of the German political class. There is nothing organic about this organization. Here, Antifa are primary stacked by mentally ill younger people, many simply looking for purpose and community. They join Antifa because they didn’t join a different gang.
There should be no doubt about the legality. The President has the absolute right to protect and defend not only the public, but the Federal facilities under attack.
“The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists.” Winston Churchill
Doesn't this violate the Posse Comitatus Act? Seems like the govt is using the Kirk incident as an excuse to have martial law.
Trump has the authority. He doesn't have to officially engage the Insurrection Act, but if the actual insurrection by antifa continues he may well do that. Our country has been under attack from the insurgents for years now. There has been an ongoing counter-insurgency for years also, just not as public.
What if Antifa is just being hired to the job to incite martial law, so conservatives give up more freedom to see this all as "justified?"
"Plots within plots" have become the lingua franca of conservative political discourse. Could it be that Antifa is exactly what it appears to be? That is an unfortunately widespread contingent of spoiled middle class young adults cheering for communism and being funded by Soros, et al? Essentially, they are terrorists, and should be dealt with as such.
And we know that "antifa mapping" has been an ongoing thing since the first Trump admin. in 2020, possibly before. There is plenty of evidence that antifa is a reality, and is funded by those who use it to attack America.
If freedom to "disagree and dissent" allows targeting, doxxing, and property destruction; then the government is allowed to target, dox, and seize property of the dissenters, and their organizers. Fair is fair with freedom.
Anitfa is a real org. and a real enemy. The people have also learned that something akin to the Patriot Act is an attempt to subvert our freedoms, so I think they will not accept another attempt.
Yes. Do not trust the federal government. No matter which party is at the helm.
It doesn't. It's no different than Eisenhowever and the guard in Littlerock.
Trump worded it very well in that they are not acting as police but as security for fed buildings.
Agree with both.
No it doesn’t. Per SCOTUS.
Federal buildings, paid for by taxpayers are allowed to be defended. Their mandate is highly limited.
No
Are the Border Patrol and National Guard considered to be military?
There is a clause in there that states the government can protect from an insurrection.
So true. In Oregon and the Pacific NW we do not have predominately Black, Hispanic or Asian gangs. We have Antifa and White Supremacy gangs. They work at night and do their community activism then sleep during the day. They do drugs and get get drunk together. They definitely are a community of hate, rebellion and evilness. So very sad for their souls.
Defund wherever possible while establishing healthy avenues and mentoring for energetic young men to funnel their youthful angst more constructively.
Yes the 'long march through the institutions' has weakened and those groups that used to be a way for young people to 'belong'. Church youth groups, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, etc,
Good point 😕
Well clearly the immigration enforcement is National, not state, and our borders are national as well. If somehow the NG are not allowed, then the ICE role can be expanded to include more personnel with weapons and capacity to arrest these violent protestors. If Obama could heavily arm the IRS and hire thousands more, (to go after US citizens, primarily conservative as his IRS already proved) then the Trump administration ICE can defend itself and be given powers of arrest over violent resistance to enforcing constitutional law. Just a thought.
NG was allowed in LA and DC. They will be allowed in PDX.
As was intended, virtually all the federal agencies fall under the executive branch. SCOTUS has been reaffirming this fact. National Guard powers reside by both the governor of each state as well as POTUS.
Btw…. Federal Legislature may approve and fund agencies but has little power whether they get downsized or deleted. It is not their jurisdiction.
You mentioned the Fed which has been operated as a rogue agency. Recently SCOTUS reminded them that they fall under direction by the executive branch.
I tend to agree and thank you. Two concerns, one "there is not such thing as a clear law" is a general truth, and all can possibly be put on hold until successful appeal to a higher court or SCOUTS if the initial Judge is prejudice and not constitutional.
Though the appeals process is part of our system which is working well and as it should. I just wish SCOTUS could take more cases.
That dude in Iowa I read was illegally registered to vote in Maryland and wanted Criminals to teach in school.
I wish 47 would make Portland pay per view.
Antifa is an international terrorist outfit imo.
Also wonder how many zeros were in Adam's check.
"Mayor Adams himself made $258,041." https://www.amny.com/politics/mayor-adams-418th-highest-paid-employee-overtime-topped-2-5b/
Another example of what Antifa does in Portland: https://nypost.com/2020/09/01/portland-shooting-victim-was-hunted-down-and-executed-friend-says/ by an ex-military man who has called himself “100% ANTIFA”. He's now dead too after a police standoff and shooting.
Jeff, thank you for your words of wisdom concerning the NHS and its unbelievable stance on first cousin marriages. This was an item that sent my blood pressure soaring this weekend.
My take: the NIH is screaming "We had to cave to the Islamist Pakis!" Also, when I checked on this, from the Daily Mail: "The guidance, released by NHS England's Genomics Education Programme, argues that 'although first-cousin marriage is linked to an increased likelihood of a child having a genetic condition or a congenital anomaly, there are many other factors that also increase this chance (such as parental age, smoking, alcohol use and assisted reproductive technologies), none of which are banned in the UK'." And you know who will pay for the medical costs of those genetic/congenital anomaly children. The people who don't marry their first cousins, that's who.
Please note that in the passage above, the word "alcohol" is presented in bold type and blue. Another cave to the Pakis, IMO. So. You may find this PubMed report interesting (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1298844/), on the frequency of "autosomal recessive disorders" and correlation of same with cousin marriage (55 of 100 Pakistani mothers interviewed, and 33% of their mothers had married a first cousin).
Some historically-challenged person made the claim that "We English have always allowed first cousin marriage--Henry VIII married Anne Boleyn's cousin Catherine Howard". Well, duh, Cathy was Anne's cousin, but not a blood relative of her husband-to-be.
Hence the rumor of the average IQ of muslims...

I taught in a Saudi medical university for 8 years. One day I was having a conversation with an American woman who taught biochemistry there, and she told me she had just visited a special Saudi institution where the children damaged by their sky high level of inbreeding (lots of first cousin marriages), and she could hardly believe the level of birth deformities she saw there. She had never seen anything like it and she was shocked and heartbroken at what she saw. The Saudis would put such children in these homes because they wanted nothing to do with them and didn't want others to know they had them. Terribly sad, and it sure didn't seem they were connecting the dots.
They have the same problem in the hills of Alabama....my niece used to work in the premies section in Birmingham...the people could not understand about genetics....why I continually question whether humans are, in fact, the most intelligent species. Even wild animals send the male offspring to seek mates far from their siblings...
Ha, your final point about overlooking the fundamental issue that he wouldn’t be marrying his OWN first cousin was totally lost on these idiots.
My cousin and I, when we were little kids, swore we were going to marry each other - our teenage cousin informed us that couldn’t happen…I read the stupid NHS comment and was about to jokingly tell me cousin that now we COULD get married! lol!
I had also checked into RC Canon law: no marriages within 4 degrees of consanguinity (= no first cousin marriages)
Hapsburg Chin anyone? No? I have no desire to see that crop up again either.
Without a doubt, the “guidance” was written by Islamic Pakis. In a particular area of N America I’m familiar with home care being taken over by East Indians and any complaints fall on deaf ears, things like communication problems, work done unsatisfactorily, etc., too bad, they send their best…no contest. They run the business now.
Queen Victoria and her husband Albert were first cousins. Strange, I know.
Sharia law is coming to the U.K……next up; the U.S. 😢
Mr. Childers, you consistently post jaw dropping, profound statements, but this one is now my favorite:
“If the maniacal excesses of the secular Twentieth Century —with its two world wars and the monstrous catastrophe of communism— have taught us anything, it is not about the threat of Christian participation in politics. The real threat is the absence of Christian participation in politics.”
Amen.
Unsurprisingly, NYCs best mayors were Republicans, with one possible exception, at least in the last half century. Unfortunately the voting populace doesn’t seem to get the point. Let’s hope this time they will chose wisely
Not a chance. Mamdani will be easily elected. Perhaps his destructive reign will wake some of the apathetic and willfully ignorant.
I have long believed Michael Savage's comment that "liberalism is a mental disorder." It's in full flower now and I'm more firmly convinced he's right.
God help us.
I hope his policies destroy that abhorrent place and we never have to hear of it again.
Likely to happen.
Good.
The New York City general election, which includes the mayoral race, will be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.
And starting November 5, 2025 will be the new "Escape from New York" without Snake Plissken.
I don't doubt that at all. It'll be the NYC version of the Great Awakening, as people awaken to the reality of the destructive thing they've done .
Surely won't be pretty.
They'll just blame Trump.
Please don’t act like elections are legitimate. The people do not vote for this en mass. They are selected and installed by the Evile empire.
I find it strange that the media was basically telling us that he would be mayor from day one. I feel like he is being installed, no matter the elections. He seems evil (albeit good looking) and is most likely a puppet of an evil puppet master like Soros. As one who was born and raised in NYC and has family there, I cannot fathom this.
All of Staten Island is largely Itslian American and they won't vote for him, and the well off business owners, real estate owners, finance people throughout the 5 boroughs will not vote for his policies, the Jews wont vote for him I dont believe, so ...I Just dont get it.
The illegals will vote along with the dead 💀🤷♀️
I feel like all this is what we have to go through to get to the other side. PDJT says he will cut off all funding so he won't be able to fund his "the gov't will take care of you" plan. But it is horrible!
PDJT says he will cut off all funding, so we're okay for a few years. A next admin could reverse that to pay for New York if it falls.
That is scary 😖
Illegals can vote
Unfortunately, NY city permits illegals to vote in local elections. So that’s how he will win.
Election Day is a great day for ICE to show up at polling locations 💯
Not sure if they have mail in ballots for that mayoral race.
I’m sure they’ll accept any vote for mamdani no matter how it arrives 😂
Text message, email, chain letter, pen pal, whatever!
He also wants to legalize prostitution (call it by its real name) so at least all the illegals will have jobs.
I always say, if you don’t vote you forfeit the right to complain. On average we have 55% participation in presidential elections, and much less in local and midterm elections.
Yes but this might make many more come out in NYC
Eight million on the dole in nyc. Do you think for a minute they actually want to work?
…especially when they can augment their dole money with protest payments; protesting is FUN, they get out with their friends, throw stuff, scream and spit on the faces of law enforcement, dress like idiots, wear gas masks like in dress up playschool - what could be better?
NYC is a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah and the inhabtiants are truly sadists. As Jeff mentioned, " de Blasio hawked jabs with free french fries, single-handedly hollowed out the Big Apple’s economic core, shuttered schools, fired cops, teachers, and first responders for refusing experimental shots, paid drug dealers and illegal immigrant to infest the city’s finest hotels, let BLM looters run wild on Fifth Avenue, and generally made life miserable for everyone in every single way he could think of while awake or dreaming."
Seems new yorkers enjoy pain and love getting spanked. I hope for the day the city crashes and burns as that will be a vast improvement. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed so NYC needs to follow in their footsteps.
But that cannot be sustained without federal funds and failing that, a very robust tax base.
Thoughts:
1. New York City is on the glide path of becoming "Escape from New York". Rudy's terms were good, but the rest has been awful. Worked there for a while. Never again. New York City will finally fall when the 'elites' there understand that they will no longer be able to isolate themselves behind their private security to try and have a 'normal' rich person experience in the city.
2. If Mamdani gets in, expect Trump to have troops in NYC in 2026 in the summer, to highlight the depravity there, and assist for the midterms in possibly getting a seat or two to flip red. Mamdani will be hailed by the clueless left as the new "young, clean and articulate" face of the rising Democrat Party (Think Obama in 2006, but the real Muslim version, not the hidden one Obama used). Expect more in-your-face 'peaceful riots' Britain-stye with the radicals, while the decrepit Dem leaders look the other way, just glad "those people" don't live too close to their own neighborhoods. (Dem leaders thrive on NIMBY.)
3. The IRS ironically has given pastors in the confines of their places of worship the ability to discuss various candidates and how they align with their own doctrinal beliefs. More freedom. Now it is up to the bishops, priests, pastors to man up and do the right thing clearly and without equivocation. If they do, the election in the Fall of 2026 will be a culmination of what we are seeing now with people turning to God seriously.
4. What keeps people living in Portland Oregon after this past decade? Soros money alone? What is the tax base that keeps sending their dollars in to redo the roads and buildings and clean up the filth over and over and over again?
I prefer the opposite. Support folks and industries who want to leave and then leave these cities to their own devices. Really to their own devices, no federal money. Apparently the financial sector, long the backbone of NYC, has one foot out the door already.
We see what happens when Detroit and Dearborn were left to just wither. The vacuum is filled with Islamists and pseudo-Sharia. One of the reasons we are in this deep hole that Trump, Charlie, and others have been working tirelessly to pull us out of is people just took a political "NIMBY" approach, until half the country became unrecognizable. We can't keep making the same mistake, complaining, and hoping for another miracle Trump-like figure to come along and rescue us. We need to stop ceding ground because it gets tough or we want to have our own little quiet circle. That circle gets smaller. "First they came for..."
I agree with you except they did not leave before and now will let a commie be installed. they can stay in nyc and fester with it.
Who is John Galt.
In 2026 Trump should absolutely NOT send any kind of help into NYC. They e made their bed, let them stew in it. Especially if Mamdani wins by a landslide
Boom!
Absolutely yes! NY votes all the craziness in, they really need to wallow in it. We should bus the homeless, criminals and illegals into their elite enclaves to set up tents.
I was wondering if Trump had any boarder fencing left over...
Would probably take about 50 miles of fencing if you wanted to do the whole city of Portland. I think the "Furries" there would prefer dungeons instead, so maybe find an abandoned shopping mall near there and dig down a few levels to hold the rodents. It could be called the "Portland Prison". Then set up water cannons in the parking lots to keep their Furry Friends away easily when they come scampering up in their soy-boy outfits.
Just a thought. Doable? ;-)
I think Furries prefer 'invisifences' so they get to experience that delightful shock...
exactly, put it around NYC, no one enters, no one leaves and leave them to the Lord of the Flies.
1. I hope NYC is destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah. Better for the country.
2. Let the commie facilitate its destruction, even better. Send no help but do not allow any new york cityers to leave and come to our states. you voted for it, you got it.
3. unfortunately there are lgbtqtrans priests, pastors etc in the church and not all of them are aligned with true church doctrine especially since they lead lives in direct opposition to it. huge problem there.
4. Take portland out too. they are degenerate. anyone normal would have left that forsaken hellhole years ago.
KILL them ALL!!!
Nice to se you have your mojo and scalping knife working today! :-D
I am sick of the evil winning. The only language they know is violence so perhaps it is time to speak in their language before they kill us. We have tried being nice, trying to compromise, it ain't working. We are in a war so perhaps they will understand when we send equipped drones into portland or nyc when antifa strikes and have them understand that language. The line has been crossed so....
Hah!! Good stuff!
I see that you embrace a rather "muscular" form of Christianity.. ;-)
not always but even God drew a line in the sand in the OT and beyond. We rather not get to this point but at the end of the day, it is us or them.
Re Portland: there are many, many rural-ish suburbs out there. It’s possible to live in a beautiful (highly taxed) house in a lovely area with a Target ten minutes away and never, ever have to step over an overdose victim.
They know the city has fallen (but they rarely have to go there) and they see the tents on the green spaces lining I-5 but can’t begin to grasp how their own permissive, progressive enablement policies have allowed this nightmare to metastasize. It’s just an affordable housing problem, right?
I hear you. The suburbs around Philadelphia used to be very nice. Then the Dems bleeped-up the city, and the ones who could afford to moved out, infecting the adjacent counties. We rarely ever go in the city, and thankfully things like the sports complexes are right off I-95 so you can get in and get out. But too many areas filthy. People mugged in the good areas. Druggie areas. And a DA, and each mayor, who think they don't have to really address crime. a Rudy Giuliani type could change things within a year.
Politics from the pulpit can have unintended consequences, aka "why is my pastor telling me to vote for Y? I'll vote for whoever I want to vote for."
I'm thinking more from a moral issues standpoint. No party is perfect, but one Party seems to revel in killing unborn children. Many mainline and Catholic pastors were shackled because of fear of losing funds for their social services 'ministry'. As a Catholic, I can tell you so many are walking around with a distorted view of true Catholic teaching, and the pastors won't 'go there' to clear things up, because the NGO's used to get a lot of money (USAID, CRS, etc) to the bishops. Throw in other issues like sodomy, contraception, euthanasia/Assisted-'suicide', IVF, etc., where the people don't have a good moral base to fight back against these. A fire needs to be lit. It isn't going to come from watching some youtube video by a conservative group.
There are a lot of Catholic priests who are democrats, as well as many Catholics. They just gloss over the so-called "bad stuff" that they doesn't agree with Catholic teaching with and glom onto "the Democrat candidate is helping the little guy."
It is a huge problem in the Catholic Church. I think when Catholic immigrants came to America, they saw themselves as a persecuted minority and like blacks and Jews became attached to Democrats, who they saw as their protectors.
Their ability to gloss over issues like abortion is truly amazing. But so little truth is preached to them.
Yes a lot of Catholics were duped by the Chicago Cardinal Bernadin's "Seamless garment" argument used to give aircover for guys like Teddy Kennedy to claim they were 'pro-life' because they wanted a higher minimum wage. The Catholic church does a lot of good with schools, hospitals, relief services, etc. There are billions of dollars of fed money involved there. (It 'supercharged' with W. Bush's "Faith based initiatives". Not a good idea in hindsight because it basically had the leaders shutting up on key issues over the past 2 decades for fear of losing those dollars, which help some people, and also employee a lot of people.)
There are a lot of RINO's, and there are Catholics, Jews, Protestants, who put their political affiliation ahead of their moral foundation. For them, faith is just another 'box checked' instead of a Person who they will have to give an account to. Serious pastors recognize what is at stake and have been hampered too long in speaking more directly, so euphemisms have to be used, and voter's guides slipped on people's windshields during services.
It's time for boldness and clarity. We won't convince everyone. The road to destruction is wide...
And a great many of the federally funded so called "Christian" NGOs offered cover and concealment of the illegal immigrants, esp those "unaccompanied minors". WHERE are those still missing kids?!?
Sadly, "adrenochrome" is the answer to what happened to some of those kids. Some disappeared for "moloch" type activities, and some for Sodom/Gommorah. And you can go back even further to ask "What happened to the Haitian kids from the early 2010's?" People diving in deeply to that seem to get "suicided" for some reason.
"No party is perfect, but one Party seems to revel in killing unborn children."
Agree! But the GOP seems to revel in supporting the murder of children after they are born... IF, they happen to live in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, etc, etc...
Two choices only Dude. If you can't make distinctions, but only offer contrarianism, there isn't much reason to continue conversing. Notable Republicans have been calling out the indiscriminate killing Israel is doing, and they are being savaged for it. I can't seem to find any notable Democrats calling out the dismemberment of unborn babies. 70 million worldwide annually is the estimate. (Almost 5x the number of Palestinians alone.) And you left the slaughter of Nigerian Christians off your list of countries. Maybe work on proportionality when bringing 'objections'. Have a nice day, and thank you for your attention to this matter.
According to who... YOU?? LOL!! List the Republicans that have come out against Israel and their slaughter...
Dems are scum... what's your point?
I don't approve of abortion, but it is not my business, why not let "God" broil all abortionists and their patients in hell and let it go? Is a human being created at conception? Prove it.
I agree, no reason to continue conversing...
No offense, but you sound like a total asshole.
Maybe work on your arrogant, pompous judgemental personality...
And your mimicking Trump's infantile and moronic use of the term "thank you for your attention to this matter" just makes you into more of a pathetic turd.
Buh Bye.
Many "christian" sects promote sodomy, transgenders, child mutilations, lefty protests, drag shows...
Not much of a "moral base" imo...
Yes. All the more reason that truth has to be spoken clearly, consistently, and loudly. The Light will then shine in the darkness.
Doesn't seem to be much of that around... eh?
And whose "truth"?
Agreed.
That's why it's important for people to find a church within their chosen faith that fits their values. I think most churches have the potential of running the gamut from really liberal to really conservative. Choose wisely.
And... FWIW, the Catholic church in our town is the only one that doesn't fly the "pride" flag on "pride weekend."
One of the reasons that I am agnostic, is that the shopping around for a church "within their chosen faith that fits their values"...
Does not represent a "religion" that has a solid, incontestable foundation of dogma that can not be modified, ignored or revised to suit.
The Catholic church is a fine example of this "moving target" theology... to say nothing of their history of corruption abuse and malfeasance...
Around the world, every religion is managed by humans, who do all kinds of awful things. Catholics aren't the only ones to suffer from abuse and malfeasance, they're just the most publicized.
One thing the Catholic Church has going for it is a Catechism where people can go to compare what their maybe ignorant(or not) pastor who is spouting strange things can be compared against. It's pretty clear what the true position of abortion, sodomy, etc. is. I feel bad for the 'one room schoolhouse' type non-denoms because they have to figure each and everything out themselves if they want to be truly sure, and vet their own sources. No one can do all that.
False-pope Frankie sure didn't agree with that... he loved deviants, socialism, and likely... young alter-boys.
Then it would be the pastor's role to explain, very clearly, with Biblical support, just why he is taking this position. On the other hand, a personal note: My father, in the early 60's, stopped going to church (he had been the Sunday School Superintendent) when our minister started bringing the Vietnam War into his sermons. But perhaps our minister hadn't clearly explained why, and on what grounds, he felt moved to do this. I was too young to be aware of all this.
Note it would never have been illegal to talk about the Vietnam war. The only prohibition was against political activity which was defined as supporting or opposing someone running for political office. Talking about the issues apart from the candidates has always been allowed as long as it was not a substantive part of the nonprofit's activities.
I was not talking about any point of legality. Simply that the minister’s bringing politics into the service drove one long-term faithful member out of attendance.
In the early 70s, the priest at our local church started to literally say, "This is how you should vote." I have no idea if he gave an explanation or not.
So... we simply changed to a more conservative parish. It's really that simple.
But at least that means the voter is thinking. And exercising his or her free will.
It should be noted that many black churches have had politicians speaking from the pulpit for years. Rev Jessie Jackson for example. And when the IRS was brave enough to bring up the issue with a church, if the church did not roll over and play dead the IRS would dismiss the matter. This recent decision of the IRS simply evens the playing field.
Replying to point 4, as a native Portlander, I will try to reply to what keeps me here with a family of four school-aged kids.
I'm a Christian homeschooling mom, and what tends to keep my friends here in the Portland area is first, family, and second, jobs (especially tech/Intel jobs here on the westside). Personally, it's because God hasn't told us to leave yet. I've watched many friends leave the area over the years, and if they leave out of fear or other reasons not led by God's Spirit, they have wound up elsewhere in even worse messes than they feared would happen around here. I know God will tell us when it's His time for us to leave here, and until then, I hope we can be a bright light in a dark place.
I grieve over my city and pray often for God to show His power here. "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Or Portland, Oregon??? Lord God, thou knowest. Yet I pray often to see a work of His grace, even here.
Things that make living here easier -
-Family!
-A strong Bible based church
-A great homeschool community
-A mild climate (aside from several months of chilly rain). No/infrequent storms, bugs, summer humidity or heat, snow.
-So many outdoor places to hike and explore. The Christian young-earth creation community is strong here, and it's so easy to get out to see the creative works of God.
I hope this goes a small distance in answering your question.
The passing of Voddie - may the Lord bless his wife and children and grandchildren. I've only been listening to his teachings for a few years. He opened my eyes and really challenged my ideas on the roles at home, the roles of/in church, the roles of government in education. Will miss him! And this... after Charlie and MacArthur and Dobson 💔
We’ve really lost some great men of GOD. I pray he rises for up for us a new era of GREATS. May GOD be merciful to us
I feel very much as you do. The weight of speaking truth in love fall heavier on all of us now. We had the great privilege of hearing Dr Baucham a few times over the years but we feel so blessed to have heard him in person just about 13 days before he passed. Such a beautifully gifted teacher of God’s word- a life truly lived for Christ. I shared a old video (about 11 yrs old) of his above but I would like to share a message giving in his last week (possibly the last public message). I would hope to encourage all of us to please listen, maybe even more than once and share with others. - https://youtu.be/QXHWTrys3RY?feature=shared

Exactly. deeply sad. Their preaching will be deeply deeply missed ( new sermons of course )
[Ask yourself: what business does the NHS have in promoting incestuous unions as “healthy marriages” in the name of public health? Setting aside the morality issue, first-cousin marriages aren’t healthy. It’s not even controversial.]
And now apply that to "gender affirming care" here in the States.
Because we have to welcome our Muslim brethren and acknowledge that perhaps at least half of NHS staff are of an Islamic bent. All cultures are equal and diversity is our strength, don’t you know. Except in genetic profiles it would appear.
all part of the agenda to not only make us dead or maimed by way of jab but to mentally cripple us as well.
Good Monday morning everyone 😊
😎
Did anyone else see yesterday's attack upon a Church of Jesus Christ?
4 dead, multiple injuries. Shooter: Killed.
It was all over X yesterday morning. Pam Blondi & the FBI are "on it"...

It was not a "Church of Jesus Christ", but a 'Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints'.; there is a distinct difference.
Does it matter? People of faith were killed while attending church by another crazed lunatic with hate for Christians.
Yes it matters. Motives may be different and Mormons are most definitely not Christians.
It does not matter. They were at church. I have Mormon friends and have gone to service with them and they are Christians. Wow, sounds like you approve that they were killed and the church burned since they are not your kind of Christian.
I hate that people of any faith are killed or injured, but you always need to ask, “Who is Jesus Christ?” For the Mormons, He is a prophet, a human who achieved godhood. For the Christian, He is God who took on flesh to die for our sins and rise to secure our eternity with Him.
Nope.
This is a silly response. Because someone makes a distinction between the churches, you automatically assume that they must therefore hate the one, and love the other.
This is the kind of thinking that is characteristic of people that are unable to make distinctions beyond 'either/or', which, while it can be useful on occasion, is generally quite limiting, and practically begs for major logic fails.
In this case, good, faithful people were attacked in their church. That should be alarming to everyone, and persuade us to leave behind the internecine arguments.
Nope
Doesn't it sound that way?
Oopsie.
Let me type the FULL label "correctly":
"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" or its more commonly used acronym the church of "LDS" in order to satisfy poor "Clara".
Sheesh!!
4 American church goers and their children who were in attendance yesterday were SHOT & KILLED, and many more were wounded.
Including CHILDREN!!
I believe that was THE POINT of my post... Not whether Mormons or any other schism of whatever "faith" one follows is "Christian" or not.
Those FAITHFUL were injured and MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD!!
End of rage rant. (Sorry Lori. I'm not going to butt heads with Clara.)
Thanks for reading. ❤️
Sure did. And you hit the nail on the head. And they (clara and signcut) call themselves Christians? A tragedy including children and that is what they worry about. Makes me want to convert if that is what holier than thou Christians sound like.
I veg to differ; Mormons are Christians.
Indeeed. But I was starting to keep count of the reporters who said The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and those who omitted the frightening-two-words with The Church of Latter Day Saints. (Nope, I'm not a member.)
I didn't feel like typing the entire "label".
Figured people would know the remainder...
Yes, I saw the reports on Truth Social, I am not on TwiX. They will probably try to say the shooter was a conservative Trump supporter, but I saw one report that he was "anti"-Trump.
He donated regularly to the Democrat party
He didn't donate money; he donated his soul.
He donated $192.30 regularly since April of this year at least. That’s a significant amount each time for someone that doesn’t support a party. There are many posts on X by smaller accounts showing the donations - here’s just one. I can’t say for certain how reliable it is as there could be another person by same name doing the donating … but this is where I saw it:

Crazy people are everywhere. It's wise to be careful.
SSDD Juju. What else do we expect from the demonic left?
He was anti-Mormon from what I have seen. He told a politician who went to his house while block-walking that Mormons were the anti-Christ. Dave Bondy interviewed the police. It seems legit.
Dave Bondy is a local reporter who went on Locals when he wasn’t allowed to print truth any longer. Shooter rammed an older Chevy truck bearing two American flags through the front glass doors of a church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints while they were in service. He then climbed out of the truck and opened fire on the congregation and set fire to the church. Police shot and killed the ex Marine within minutes of the rampage. A dozen parishioners were wounded, one to two, fatally. The church almost completely burned down. They are still searching for people missing, feared inside the church. This was about 50 miles from me.
The only good thing to come our of that horror was police shot him dead.
From what I have read he sounds pretty traditional which IMO usually, although not always, equates to conservative. He apparently did not have a social.media presence but his now wife and mother did and both referenced him. Pretty wholesome stuff.
Then what is your conclusion?
Mine is that regardless of his ideology he was a murderous SOB now roasting in the pits of hell. But I am a hard person.
Sure appeared conservative, but appearance can be wrong.
I noticed he was an Iraq war veteran. Many of them have ptsd issues, but what could have been his motive?
Vax damage, I would bet. Kathleen Janoski says the VA did not actually require the vax, but my own brother took it, thinking he had to, to keep his benefits. Those poisons mess with people's brains.
I don't think so. I believe he was out before the shot was mandated. Even then there's a ton of people who refused it (like me).
I believe it was probably PTSD and a beef with his mother/ex wife
Thanks, Benjamin Two N’s—-but I was not referring to active-duty members suffering a “take it or take a dishonorable discharge”—I was referring to those who are already out, but took the jab for the VA benefits.
There were other shots that were mandated before the 'clot shot', especially when being sent to the desert. They may be speaking about those.
More information will come out; the big questions will be how much is factual, how much spin, and how much held back.
It seemed very personal. Perhaps a former church member?
Yeah. It’s a horrible situation, and to see his pics, he’d be my pal.
Yes it is.
I heard his young ill son died (from someone local there) - not positive on that, just what I was told. And he was apparently at odds with his mother. We'll have to wait to see what shakes out on that, I guess.
The guy had Trump signs up and American flags all over his truck. I believe he snapped and had issues with the local LDS church where his mother or possibly ex wife attended.
Horrifying situation.
His Trump/Vance sign was behind a Stop sign; the message being-Stop Trump Vance.
He simply mounted it on a sign, nothing really applicable besides it's a post. If he mounted it below it "stop trump" it would make more sense.
No. You’re wrong.
I'm not.
Along with the horrendous shooting of restaurant goers in North Carolina.
"In a 2024 federal lawsuit dismissed earlier this year, Edge made sweeping claims that included references to what he called "a Hate Crime (LGBQT toward a straight man (me)) who was raised as a straight male for (LGBTQ) purposes in an illegal pedophile sex ring."
He also accused his parents of being "LGBQT White Supremacist Pedophiles" who falsified his birth certificate, drugged him and tried to profit from him, while tying his alleged mistreatment to the Iraq War, the Abu Ghraib scandal and the Jeffrey Epstein case."

Yes, but the hot takes were all over the place re: the killer/motive. Applying the Bongino rule and waiting a day or 2 to really look into it. The only thing that seemed certain as of last night was that he was a veteran. But saw that there was also 2 different guys with the same name, Thomas Jacob Sanford, floating around and getting inter-mixed.
It is so easy to fall into the "hot takes", yes.
Thank you! I wondered why this wasn’t included in the list of Christian shootings.
As usual, gun violence would go down if liberals would stop shooting people.
Europe was quite socialist long before Mussolini coined the term Fascism and the Russian Revolution.
Mussolini was a socialist and wanted national socialism, not international socialism like the USSR. (Socialists don't like other socialists?)
MAGA is nationalism, but not national socialism. It's nationalism based upon the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
'Liberals'/democrats are triggered by 'nationalism' giving them the excuse, in their puny minds, that any form of nationalism must be just like national socialism.
We need to regain control of the language.
PS: This how Mussolini defined Fascism:

I’m still pissed “they” stole the word “gay” and it now has a sexual rather than joyful connotation.
And the rainbow.
Especially the rainbow… That one belongs to God! 🔥
And Paul Lynde...
But only 6 colours. From my WordPress site.

I refuse to use it as far as possible and say 'homosexual'.
Antifa has a badge and flag too. Also, dress code and tribal chants. A group with strong emotional allegiance to symbols, uniformity, and a pledge to defend isn’t much different than what strong nationalist groups engage in.
Which worldview do you take? Which ideals would you defend and fight for? Any? None? This operates at the small “chapter” or “cellular” level, or could be interpreted as such by parents teaching their kids to be good and wise adults who appreciate their country.
Humans tend to be group oriented. Sometimes that works out for the betterment of all, but sometimes the group careens off the cliff, also as a group. We are currently observing this in the Democrat party.
I am.a contrarian by nature so I really dislike anything I equate as hive like.
What if everyone believes the axiom that all people are created equal and are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
That would be a hive mindset I could get behind. After I carefully considered how it could be distorted by malfeasors and determined it could not be readily exploited. See that is what we are currently living through. We have now that which you describe as an axiom. It is not the foundation of our rule of law but it is the first floor of the structure. And that is being readily exploited by those who are either wholly incompetent or deliberately determined to bring the structure down. People with no idea what due process means. People who think free speech means you can say whatever you damage well.please and suffer no backlash. People who have massive feelz for illegal residents of our nation (and frankly it does not engender more sympathy for me if they have-been-here-decades!!! because that just means they have had a long time to get things straight much of it in a very favorable political and legal climate). People who believe racism is valid because they label it anti-racism. People who so strongly believe in tolerance of others that they demand I tolerate those who mean me ill. I could go on but I feel my blood pressure rising.
'Self evident truths' => axiom.
The foundation of our government is the axiom that our rights are inherent and the source of our rights is not a government of other people.
The only legitimate function of the government is to protect the rights of everyone, equally.
Unfortunately, too many people want to use the power of the state to control the lives of others instead of protecting our rights.
I agree with almost all of that. I draw a slight distinction because I think that the foundation of western civilization is Christian-Judeo principles that predate the United States of America. The Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the subsequent Constitution drew on these principles so I see that as foundation. The words and ideas you identify were specifically articulated in the Declaration and Constitution. So I view that as a layer above the foundation. Maybe it is a distinction without a difference. That said, I think we are in agreement as to the founding principles and their role of underpinning the all important rule of law which makes it all possible. And I agree that at this moment in time it is not working as designed because of people who are self-interested.
Then their actions should mirror that belief.
When it comes to Antifa, their roots are in German communism of the early 1900’s. Does that explain things? 🤣
Their historical origin is understood; that coupled with their behavior is indeed a call for law enforcement to lean in and squelch their actions.
Sounds good to me but this requires vigilance and protection.
Some would take issue but the “Creator” part.
Some would look for opportunity to bend humanity to his will.
Some have and some continue to do so. But the vast majority of humans who have ever inhabited the earth believed in a "creator" of some kind. In fact I would argue that is what set mankind on the path away from.the rest of the animals - the ability to ponder how did we get here and why? Even the most avowed modern day non-believer in a Supreme deity is descended from.those who did.
👍🏿
I believe that sociologists have determined that by the mid 20’s, most humans begin to ask, “What’s it all about? Why am I here?” Which leads to questions on the existence of higher beings.
MAGA is populism. Patriotic populism, but populism.
That is why the "MAGA cult" hysteria is so, well, hysterically funny. I simply cannot take anyone who says that seriously.
What's wrong with populism?
This is the problem with political language, it's incomplete and makes assumptions.
WHAT is popular?
I think MAGA supporters agree with the axiom that all people are created equal and are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
This SHOULD be popular in the USA.
Nothing is wrong with populism. It is a regular feature of American politics which provides a method of course correction. Populism rises and then fades once its needs are met. It should be both acknowledged and lauded.
Obamacare forced citizens to tithe big portions of their wages to the insurance companies. The insurance companies are for-profit, not state run.
So Obamacare was definitely a fascist bill.
Not only the insurance companies were enriched. Obamacare handed $50 billion to the tech industry to computerize all medical records, which was done even though most medical professionals didn't like the programs, and the patients didn't like talking to professional's backs as they typed on the computers.
And Big Pharma also benefited because Obamacare forced every person who worked for the medical-industrial complex to be injected every year with the flu vaccine, whether they wanted it or not, and whether they worked directly with patients or not. This mandatory program started in 2013, when Obama was safely re-elected. And then they had the nerve to point to it as a precedent in 2021, when they forced most employees in the country to accept unwanted injections of the experimental GMO drug.
All of this is traditional fascism. This is why we have the Nuremberg Code, codified after WW2, which was ignored by the corporations and the government.
The repeal of the mandatory insurance tithing under Trump was a blessing to many people who couldn't afford the tithing or the tax penalties for being too poor to afford the tithing.
Mrs. RW
You think that is worrisome? The Trump admin just launched the Health Tech Grid, fusing federal agencies, private tech corporations, hospitals, and insurance companies. This is not just about digital records or better hospital systems. This is about centralizing control over the human body through data, algorithms, and surveillance. According to the official announcement, the “ecosystem” will include:
*AI-powered diagnostics and treatment planning
*Digital health monitoring across wearable devices
*Interoperable data systems shared across agencies and providers
*A unified push for tech-driven “health equity” (read: more federalized oversight)
This is the groundwork for total data integration, a system where our personal biometric information, vaccination status, behavior, and medical compliance are not just recorded, but scored, nudged, and possibly enforced. It’s openly stated in policy documents and pilot programs, from the ONC’s Trusted Exchange Framework (TEFCA) to CDC’s “Data Modernization Initiative.”

I would say enacting the Affordable Care Act was the fascist act as you define fascism. After all the options were continuation of full private healthcare provision or full state provided healthcare. Obama signed a piece of legislation which handed provision of health services to private, third party, for profit entities. How is that not classic fascism?
The entire US medical system is state controlled.
Yes it is. In a decidedly fascist fashion, no?
No. The fascist part is the forced reliance on insurance (third party for profit entities). Saying there was to be a government pool does not rescue it because that is still insurance. See the California homeowner insurance high risk pools for example or high risk pools for automobile insurance for impaired drivers. The government just forces private carriers to back those pools. Sometimes directly. Sometimes indirectly through fees and other charges. Nor does reliance on subsidies rescue it and perhaps are actually compelling evidence of the fascist nature - there are many y, many, many people working jobs just for health insurance. Again, welcome to the plantation. But I agree that Republicans were complicit in a this. But unlike you I do not think any of them were good guys.

re: "fascist as the merging of the government interest with the business interests"
As in the wedding of Big Pharma and government mandates during the scamdemic?
Absolutely. But the stranglehold of the provision of health services is part of that. I hate to in one Kamala Harfis, but we need some Venn diagrams on this.
Only the government has the legal authority to allow this.
Socialism/Fascism/communism is state control of the lives, liberty and property of individuals.
I observe socialists of all flavors like to diss other the others and want to obfuscate the what socialism does, control the lives, liberty and property of individuals.
A corporation, a legally defined association of individuals who combine their capital to create more wealth, can't create laws.
Only the government, the monopoly on force, can create and enforce laws.
A legitimate government protects the lives, liberty and property of all individuals.
Socialist governments plunder the lives, liberty and property of individuals.
Green Ink, thanks for stating the correct definition of Fascism/fascist. It is so wildly misused.
So glad you have returned, safely, Mr. Childers. And most grateful for your commitment (do you ever sleep?) to your devoted readers, that despite flights, and hours lost in airports, and two hour jet lag, and preparing to give speeches and and and, you continued to provide us with our food.
Portland says it would go to the central library to research these “amendments” you speak of…however the houseless are still in there using the pages as TP. Sad!
Portland used to be a phenomenal city as recently as 2000. Full of natural beauty, history, interesting architecture, and amazing cultural opportunities. Probably why it had to be destroyed. We can’t have anything nice of course.
I’m sorry but that’s on the citizens who voted these commies in. And if the elections are corrupted, why haven’t the citizens done something to get election integrity or honest elections?? You must get involved at every level of government and make your voices heard! Be like Charlie!
Just like we citizens were able to effect federal elections, which are also fake and completely rigged? Nothing we lowly folk do or say matters to these scum, I live in PDX and I would say it's not nearly as blue as they like to pretend. Everything is controlled, down to the teachers unions. Very difficult to "get in" if you aren't known to be one of them already.
It’s actually extremely unsafe now. The citizens were of the fashionably liberal ilk in the old days and missed the window to stamp out the radicalism when it was in the infant stage. (They didn’t want to grapple with the eventuality.)
it is now renamed Antifaville.
Do you joke? Or is this real?
Via - of course it is not real, merely an uninformed projection.
Sadly it’s too dangerous to go to the downtown library. Hope they keep a copy of “The Rise & Fall of the Roman Empire”
Good morning everyone from NE Texas.
