NSBA Issues Apology For Calling Parents Terrorists.

The NSBA is slapping itself on the wrist and marching forward with its backwards ideologies. Nothing is going to stop this totalitarian storm that’s tearing apart society. Because if you dig in any direction, you’ll find that the education system isn’t the only way we’re being attacked. We’re being stripped of our individuality as the 4th industrial revolution plunges mankind into a paradoxical society. Stripping us of our souls unless we can wake up to the word of God and the message of the cross. The National School Boards Association (NSBA) apologized for its contentious letter urging President Joe Biden to investigate parents as “domestic terrorists” on Friday. “On behalf of NSBA, we regret and apologize for the letter. To be clear, the safety of school board members, other public school officials and educators, and students is our top priority,…

40 Navy Seals ‘Fighting for their careers’ in push for religious exemption to COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

A group of about 40 Navy Seals is prepared to file legal action against the Pentagon over the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, due to claims that they have been wrongfully denied a religious exemption. Attorney Michael Berry of the First Liberty Institute, the legal nonprofit that is representing the 40 service members seeking a religious exemption, told Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson in an interview Tuesday evening that he believed his clients are “fighting for their careers.” “You would think in this country, the Department of Defense would respect religious beliefs, but instead the Navy is using religious beliefs as some sort of ideological litmus test to purge anybody who opposes the vaccine from our military,” Berry explained. “Our clients, these Navy Seals, they’ve been told that even if their request is ultimately approved, they’re going to be removed from the Navy Seal…

Christian Web Designer Appeals To Supreme Court Over Same Sex Marriage Refusal Of Service.

A Colorado web designer has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court after a federal appeals court ruled this summer that she must create websites for same-sex weddings if she offers her services for other weddings. Lawyers representing Lorie Smith of 303 Creative in Denver are asking the nation’s highest court to review the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling from July that found that her company must provide services for same-sex weddings if it offers services for traditional weddings. “The government shouldn’t weaponize the law to force a web designer to speak messages that violate her beliefs,” said Kristen Waggoner, a general counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal organization representing Smith that has won several religious freedom cases before the Supreme Court. “This case involves quintessential free speech and artistic freedom, which the 10th Circuit dangerously cast aside.” Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA) prohibits…

Christian Persecution In America its Getting Bad

Churches, Pastor’s Are Targets… GraceLife Pastor Takes Church Underground: ‘The Church Isn’t A Building, It’s a Blood-Bought People’ By Source April 13, 2021 Canadian Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church held services this weekend. Normally, this would be an unremarkable fact – but given he was recently been released from jail only to see his church fenced off and shut down by authorities, it’s made this worship service all the more impactful. Earlier today, GraceLife published their service online, with congregants faces blurred out of the picture. Pastor Coates greeted those in attendance at the “undisclosed location” by saying, “they can take our facility, but we’ll just find another one.” A few moments later, two gentlemen (who were only identified in the video as Joe and John) came forward to lead the congregation in song. One of the men began by…

Christian Actor Antonio Sabato Jr. Urges Christians To Rely On Jesus As Our Rights are Under Attack.

Antonio Sabato Jr., one of the actors of the fourth edition of the famous series, “God’s Not Dead,” believes Christians must depend on Jesus Christ whenever their rights are challenged. “Our freedom is being attacked at the moment, in different ways. So, we have to stand up,” Sabato said in a video interview with The Christian Post (CP). “I believe that God is putting a test on us. We have to keep fighting, and we have to keep in faith and know that God will succeed no matter what. But we, as people, have to really come out of our shells and really devote ourselves to the Lord.” The “God’s Not Dead: We the People” actor, who is now also a film producer, said that Christians have always been faced with tough situations. “We’ve always confronted the evil, we’ve always confronted things…

“Fight For America” Says Republican Representative Calling On Christians.

A Republican Representative from North Carolina took to Twitter to call on Christians to “fight for America.” Congressman Madison Cawthorn urged Christians in America to fight for the country or face losing their freedom. “Where are you, men and women of faith? If we lose this country, our children will never know freedom. Stand united as men and women of faith to fight for America!” Cawthorn said on Monday. Cawthorn’s tweet included a short video that has gone viral and has received 120,500 views, 2,687 likes, 633 retweets, and 316 quoted tweets as of writing time. The representative pointed out on Monday evening in a succeeding post, during which it has received 11,800 tweets, that video is “trending because the left can’t stand when Christians in government actually speak up.” The video is a clip of Cawthorne’s talk during the 2021 North Carolina Faith &…

HATRED AND DISCRIMINATION OF

CHRISTIAN’S… The Global Persecution Of Christians Today is one of the International Days of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP). Initiated over 20 years ago by the World Evangelical Alliance, 100,000 congregations around the world and millions of Christians participate on this day. “This November let us unite in prayer for our persecuted brothers and sisters,” IDOP noted in a brief video that highlights a few examples of recent persecution, including the Easter Sunday church bombings in Sri Lanka and the ongoing slaughter of Christians by Islamic groups in Nigeria and, increasingly, Burkina Faso. Discussing this day’s significance, Vernon Brewer, the CEO and founder of World Help, a Christian humanitarian organization, wrote: “It’s easy to go about our lives and forget that in places like Nigeria, Iran and North Korea being a Christian can often lead to death. After all, for the most part, persecution for our faith isn’t something most of…

Christian Are In Trouble: Democrats’ ‘Equality Act’

Narrowly Passes Without Hearings… House Democrats approved the Equality Act of 2021 the afternoon of Feb. 25 following a rancorous debate in which Republicans asserted the controversial bill will significantly narrow the scope of religious freedom if it becomes law. The Equality Act provides prohibits discrimination due to gender identity or sexual orientation. Three Republicans joined all 221 Democrats in the lower chamber to support passage, while the remaining 208 Republicans opposed the proposal that was approved as expected. The three GOPers voting with the Democrats included John Katko and Tom Reed of New York, and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania. A similar version of the bill was approved by the Democratic House in 2019, but it failed to make it in the Republican-controlled Senate. Passage in the Senate is again somewhat in doubt as the upper chamber is evenly split between the two parties,…

TWITTER, AT SOME POINT YOU’RE GOING TO REALIZE CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS DO NOT NEED SOCIAL MEDIA

A simple definition of truth is to define it as something that corresponds to its object. In other words, it is “truth” to say water is a substance that consists of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen and is found in oceans, rivers, and other locations. In fact, to deny this is true is to make a competing truth claim. To say, “That is not true,” is to claim the one making the statement knows it is not true because of another truth. Therefore, truth does exist. The next question is, “Can truth be known?” As limited human beings, we cannot claim to know all truth, but we can claim there are true things we can discover. This is true both of the physical world (such as identifying rocks or trees) and of the abstract world (numbers or ideas).…

Christian Persecution” How Should a Christian Respond

to Persecution?” First, We Must FIGHT… There is no doubt that persecution is a stark reality of living the Christian life. Christian persecution is to be expected: the apostle Paul warned that “everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12). Jesus said that, if they persecuted Him, they will also persecute His followers (John 15:20). Jesus made it clear that those of the world will hate Christians because the world hates Christ. If Christians were like the world—vain, earthly, sensual, and given to pleasure, wealth, and ambition—the world would not oppose us. But Christians do not belong to the world, which is why the world engages in Christian persecution (see John 15:18–19). Christians are influenced by different principles from those of the world. We are motivated by the love of God and…
