The Ignoble Lie – Epoch Times Commentary by Victor Davis Hanson

[Hanson makes his point by critiquing the lies of eleven government leaders] …Fauci was hiding his own culpability, or he believed the American people might not be able to fully accept that some of their own health officials were promoting the sort of research that was partially responsible for more than 700,000 American deaths. …Apparently, Mayorkas believes the public would go ballistic or his own administration would be roundly despised, if he told the bitter truth about the border: by intent, the Biden administration has apparently deliberately left it wide open. …James Comey lied under oath on multiple occasions in congressional cross-examinations and claimed he did not know or could not remember basic facts about his own role in promoting the Russian collusion hoax. [Several other leaders are critiqued by Hanson as he exposes commonly known lies – commonly known to those who follow real news sources]

2020 Clarity: Reflecting on God’s Goodness in the Last Year: Dr. John MacArthur

2020 resembled, the church at war, with trials such as the following: every Sunday since August, LA county has tried to close Grace Church; then they tried to revoke the lease of their parking lot; the courts ruled in GC church’s favor… MacArthur loves it that we will be seeing the True Church and The Lie, that is all; there will be no fake church, as the price will be too great to call yourself a Christian if you really aren’t …Those evangelical elite who have embraced social justice, for example, will obviously be part of the lie: under God’s justice all are equal, that is, if you sin, you are held accountable; under SJ, those who sin are called to blame their sinning on others… The Christian life is about two crucifixions: of Christ and the believer: you signed up for death… Firstly, “I am crucified in Christ.” You came to Christ and repented, therein was a death… The second crucifixion is that of consecration, as Luke 9 calls us to take up our cross, deny ourselves and follow Him: death of self is the sanctifying… Paul said, “I die daily”
