Your Bible came to you on a river of martyrs blood.
Stop treating theology like some tribal affiliation, celebrity fandom,or commitment to a sports team.
Study the Bible for yourself.

The goal of degrowth is depopulation.
The goal of depopulation is a return to Eden.
Only the elites get to return to Eden.
Therefore, the goal of degrowth is our death so the elites can live.
Youâll be a sacrifice, not for the greater good, just for their good.

When to find a new church:
⢠If the point of the sermon is rarely ever the point of a biblical passage or group of passages
⢠If you realize you havenât heard about the Cross recently
⢠If anti-Gospel movements, figures, and/or ideologies set the direction for your leaders

Christian, as America sinks deeper into Godâs judgment (see Romans 1:24-32), do not be surprised when you no longer have a political party or movement youâre at home in. Donât give up the fight for the Gospel or Western Civilization either. The fight is about truth, not outcomes

Evangelicals (not the same as evangelism!) have defended the Trinity, the authority & inerrancy of the Bible & the need for the new birth. Today, Evangelicals also tend to ignore, embrace, defend & promote all manner of false teachers, heresy & worldliness. Come Lord Jesus!

Pastor, if you are scared to talk publicly about an obvious evil because you are afraid of what someone will think about you, you need to be more afraid of what God will think about you for being silent.

Christian, if youâre wondering why people who call themselves Christians believe such unbiblical thingsâand even defend it when askedâitâs because the standard for most is not the Scriptures. Itâs the culture, my experience, or âwhat works,â which is why the church is so weak now

A much needed book Iâm happy to recommend and honored to get to endorse.
Grateful to everyone who is helping make The Queering of the American Child (queeringbook.com) a success. It's on its way into many, many hands and minds.
Here's what you can expect to learn:
⢠What Queer Theory is
⢠Why it's a cult
⢠How it got into schools
⢠Why it's in schools
⢠That they're doing it on purpose
⢠That it's cult grooming
⢠Queer Theory is Queer Marxism
⢠Queer Theory is Queer Gnosticism
⢠That Queer Theory isn't about gay people
⢠Why we must stop Queer Theory
⢠Action steps you can take
We can stop Queer Theory and protect our kids. I hope you'll pick it up, read it, share it, and put what you learn into action.
