Dr. Voddie Baucham, on CRT, Intersectionality and the Gospel

27 Jul 2021 Michael A

Dr. Baucham explained the shady process by which the SBC got CRT and Intersectionality approved at their convention; he explained cultural Marxism and its parts, including CRT and intersectionality; he explained the Dallas Statement, written by a panel of prominent Christian pastors to warn of cultural Marxism…the main point: cultural Marxism is opposed Christianity, the Christian worldview, and the gospel; it is unbiblical and it is wrong to try to incorporate it into Christianity [the SBC’s actions are leading sheep astray]

The Department of Veterans Affairs will require its health care employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, becoming the first major federal agency to implement such a mandate. “We’re mandating vaccines for Title 38 employees because it’s the best way to keep Veterans safe, especially as the Delta variant spreads across the country,” Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough said in a statement. Title 38 personnel, who include doctors, dentists, and registered nurses, will have eight weeks to get fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated means getting both Pfizer or Moderna shots, or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson jab. If employees refuse, they could be fired.

25 Jul 2021 Michael A

The apostle Paul spoke of his thorn and why God gave it to him in the following verses: 2 Corinthians 12:7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 8Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” In his 5 minute devotional, J.

Cuba: A Longing for Something Beyond the Material – Epoch Times Commentary

24 Jul 2021 Michael A

It’s one of the most arresting of the videos leaked out of Cuba on July 11, the day that tens of thousands of people all over the island took to the streets and spread the word on social media in a massive anti-government protest—the first since Fidel Castro seized power and set up a communist dictatorship in Cuba more than 60 years ago. The video, which can be seen on Instagram, comes from Bejucal, a town of 25,000 nine miles southwest of Havana. The protesters, mostly young people, chant “libertad!” (“liberty!”) over and over in rhythm and raise their fists. Leading them is a young Catholic priest in a black cassock.

Van Morrison and Eric Clapton Take Back the Culture for Freedom – Epoch Times Commentary

24 Jul 2021 Michael A

When art is created by conformists—and at this moment the left are the biggest conformists possibly imaginable—it is sure to be worthless.
Speaking of which, as a member of the Motion Picture Academy, for the first time ever I didn’t even bother to vote this year, let alone watch the movies. Who needs Hollywood’s solemn lectures? But, there’s hope, big hope actually, from the music world, and at the highest levels. The Brits Van Morrison and Eric Clapton—two of the greatest stars of the last fifty years—have broken from the oh-so-tired, conventional “progressive” mold of popular music with not one, but two songs that push the content envelope.

Paul Washer – I Know What Your god Is (Sermon Jam)

24 Jul 2021 Michael A

The following 10 minute sermon excerpt by Paul Washer is aimed at helping listeners understand the privilege that God has given them regarding kingdom work. He explains that we tend to view these opportunities wrongly. His critique of Christ followers clarifies how we tend to miss the mark. Furthermore, he noted that it is the work of God’s Spirit to wake us up to our sinfulness, wrong priorities…that we might seek Him in prayer to get right. [I have found that I need to listen to Washer and preachers like him every couple of months that I might wake up again to what is important.]
