We have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus...

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.  -Hebrews 10:19-22

Ransomed men need no longer pause in fear to enter the Holy of Holies. God wills that we should push on into His Presence and live our whole life there. This is to be known to us in conscious experience. It is more than a doctrine to be held, it is a life to be enjoyed every moment of every day.   -A.W. Tozer

BREAKING: House Votes to Fund DHS, Ending 75-Day Shutdown  House Speaker Mike Johnson spoke to reporters after the House adopted the Senate-approved package.
   “We’ve got the budget resolution passed. This is very, very important because that will ensure that border security and immigration enforcement will continue today and well into the future, despite Democrat attempts to reopen our borders and protect criminal illegal aliens from removal,” Speaker Johnson said.
   “The net result of passing our reconciliation bill is that ICE and CBP are funded for three years,” Johnson said.

Blue Wednesday for communists...Iran is losing. Comey is losing. And America is having a great week.   We know the military is doing a good job because the media moved the war off the front pages. Instead, the DC bylines are all about the new White House ballroom.

Supreme Court Rules on Faith-Based Ministries’ Rights  The court unanimously ruled in favor of faith-based ministries being able to seek federal assistance when intrusive state investigations threaten to undermine their mission, in First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Davenport. The ruling is also a major victory against the pro-death abortion lobby, and it's a triumph for the constitutional right to religious liberty, a right that leftists are constantly attempting to undermine.

Vermont pays Christian school $566k for athletics ban based on girls' forfeit against male  Mid Vermont Christian School is still suing other state officials because they have "yet again excluded all religious schools" from participating in the Green Mountain State's tuition and other public benefits programs, lawyers say.

Ozempic Personality: Ozempic is a gene-bending drug; it alters users' personalities  Drugs that alter genetic expression, such as Ozempic and GLP-1 drugs, can have severe adverse effects, including changes in personality, emotional flattening and loss of joy in life, due to their impact on consciousness.  Due to this effect, a new term, “Ozempic personality,” has been coined.

Finally, be strong in the Lord...

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. -Ephesians 6:10-12

The Christian is engaged in a warfare. There is a fight before him, hence armour is urgently needed. It is impossible for us to stand against the wiles of the Devil unless we avail ourselves of the provision which God has made for enabling us to stand.   
-A.W. Pink Image

Breaking Down the Would-Be Assassin’s Manifesto  “I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.”

Ever in “spin mode,” Democrats will continue to pretend that they are not responsible for all these threats to the lives of Trump, his administration, his voters, and law enforcement officers around the country.  Right after the latest attempt on the president’s life, Democrats in the press collectively blamed “guns.”  Democrat Congressman Jamie Raskin joined Democrat mouthpiece Margaret Brennan to call for a “national conversation” on “gun violence.”  
   In other words, Democrats call Trump and his voters “Nazis” and “racists.”  Democrat voters take those words seriously and attempt to kill Trump and his voters.  Then Democrats blame that violence on “guns” and demand that Trump supporters be disarmed.  Democrats’ ridiculous cycle of lies and violence would be laughable if it were not also so deadly.



------------------------------------

Brandon Gill Gives a Master Class on Questioning an Abortion Ghoul   It is a gruesome and intense questioning. Gill asked Waters which method of abortion she preferred, then proceeded to describe different procedures in horrific detail. After each one, he would again ask Waters if that was the method she preferred, making her increasingly uncomfortable.

House Republicans, Weaponization Victims Make The Case For Repealing The FACE Act  Previously reported data suggested the Biden administration disproportionately focused its FACE Act prosecutions on pro-lifers who prayed, sang, and evangelized at abortion facilities. The Trump administration’s latest report also determined the Biden DOJ requested and ultimately secured sentences that were longer for pro-lifers — an average of 26.8 months and 14 months respectively — than for pro-abortion defendants, who averaged 12.3 months and 3 months respectively.

------------------------------------

There’s Never Just One Cockroach...Discovery is going to be delicious In the SPLC’s case, according to the indictment, a future CFO hid names to defraud donors. Fake businesses. Shell accounts. Payments routed through “Rare Books Warehouse” so no one would know they were siphoning money to the very activists the SPLC claimed to oppose. They protected names because the truth was a scandal, and so they could keep making dat money.

------------------------------------

The fraud party is ending...Mehmet Oz is taking down California's health-care fraud network  Federal agents—the “new enforcers” in town—are now targeting bigger fish, the so-called “whales”: Scammers running large-scale fraud networks that have treated California like a modern-day gold rush. Since the early 2000s, these networks have exploited what they saw as fertile ground, siphoning billions from taxpayer-funded healthcare programs. Especially during periods of expanded coverage.

Nursing Schools Can Finally Cure the DEI Disease    Over the past five years, these demands have metastasized across nursing education. Yet as future nurses have spent more time learning about fashionable political issues, they’ve spent less time learning about the care that patients need. In other words, the recent graduates of nursing schools have been less equipped to fulfill their fundamental duties. Nursing is an extraordinarily demanding field, and by diverting education time for DEI, nursing schools have directly put patient health at risk.

Draw near to God....

 
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.  -James 4:8

Lift up your heart to Him, sometimes even at your meals, and when you are in company; the least little remembrance will always be acceptable to Him. You need not cry very loud; he is nearer to us than we are aware of.   -Brother Lawrence

--------------------------------------

From One Assassination Attempt to the Next: Mainstreaming Violence Against a President -VD Hanson   From the trickle-down world of social media, the internet, and street theater, would-be killers absorb elite signals. This messaging becomes especially baleful when celebrities, governors, senators, and politicos amplify the claim that Trump is a fascist, a Nazi, a monster who is destroying the country and who must be stopped “by any means necessary.” Late-night comedians joke about past assassinations or assassination attempts; others have even claimed that Trump staged his first assassination attempt—and this one too!
   So deep runs their hatred.


WHCD gunman described himself as ‘Friendly Federal Assassin,’ denounced Trump policies: report The writings suggest what investigators are increasingly viewing as a politically motivated act of violence, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the case cited by the Associated Press.


'Atrocious': Melania Trump goes to war with 'hateful and violent' Jimmy Kimmel after eerie comments one day before assassination attempt   Monday morning, Melania Trump posted a fierce response to Kimmel's remarks, saying: "Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn't comedy – his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America."

--------------------------------------

Party of Assassins...The latest Trump assassin wasn’t a radical. He was a Democrat Islam, he said, is all about sex. In this life, high-status men get wives and sex slaves. Lower-status men get little boys. Then in the afterlife, if they’re good Muslims, they all get 72 virgins, which, for Biblical people, is a bizarrely carnal eternity.
   Modern Western nations, with their ideas about women’s liberation, are a serious threat to this system. It’s extremely important to defeat those ideas—and to control those women.

Good Shepherd of My Soul

 
Good Shepherd of My Soul 
Keith and Kristyn Getty

 Good Shepherd of my soul
Come dwell within me.
Take all I am and mould
Your likeness in me.
Before the cross of Christ
This is my sacrifice:
A life laid down
And ready to follow.

The troubled find their peace
In true surrender.
The prisoners their release
From chains of anger.
In springs of living grace
I find a resting place
To rise refreshed,
Determined to follow.

I'll walk this narrow road
With Christ before me
Where thorns and thistles grow
And cords ensnare me.
Though doubted and denied
He never leaves my side
But lifts my head
And calls me to follow.

And when my days are gone
My strength is failing
He'll carry me along
Through death's unveiling
Earth's struggles overcome
Heav'n's journey just begun
To search Christ's depths
And ever to follow.

I am the good shepherd...

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.  I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. -John 10:11-15

Jesus! where’er thy people meet,
There they behold thy mercy-seat;
Where’er they seek thee, thou art found,
And every place is hallow’d ground.
 
Dear Shepherd of thy chosen few!
Thy former mercies here renew;
Here to our waiting hearts proclaim
The sweetness of thy saving name.
-William Cowper

My steadfast love shall not depart from you...

For the mountains may depart
    and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
    and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
-Isaiah 54:10

---------------------------------

SPLC, Swalwell, and the War for America's Minds  Because for the media, it's not about reporting. It's not about truth, facts, or anything else.
      It's about a war for the mind of the American public.


---------------------------------

A Burrito Stand Qualifies for Hospice Funding Under California's Medicaid System  The sheer scale of the fraud, combined with the complete absence of complaints when hundreds of these “providers” were shut down, tells us everything we need to know. Neither burrito nor real patients were being served — taxpayer dollars were.

The New York Times Celebrates Petty Theft...Another signpost on the road to full societal breakdown   Far from missing our moral code when it’s gone, however, Piker says of stealing from big corporations: “I think it’s cool. We’ve got to get back to cool crimes like that: bank robberies, stealing priceless artifacts, things of that nature. I feel like that’s way cooler than the 7,000th new cryptocurrency scheme that people are engaging in.”
   Asked if she would steal from Whole Foods, Tolentino answers: “Yes. And I have, under very specific circumstances. I will say, I think that stealing from a big box store — I’ll just state my platform — it’s neither very significant as a moral wrong, nor is it significant in any way as protest or direct action. But I did steal from Whole Foods on several occasions.”

---------------------------------

Goat rape and cat roasting? We are all richer for the presence of immigrants  Moreover, across the West, “undocumented immigrants” (Muslim illegal aliens) are complaining about everything from dogs to alcohol to music. One might logically ask “Why the hell did they wish to come to these countries, then?”
    Because they want the free stuff that we provide them. And they want to impose their will, their religion … and Sharia law. On the people who helped them out and gave them free stuff. That reflects badly on them. And worse on us if we continue to allow it.

In other words, DACA recipients who commit crimes are deportable under existing law, just like any other illegal alien. The program never granted immunity.
   In the end, the Trump administration is doing something radical by Washington standards: enforcing the law as written. And the left can’t take it.

---------------------------------


Why Do Democrats Hate America? Their business model runs on hate... How much do you have to hate America to finance racial hatred, chaos, animus, and social division?  Apparently the Democrat Party and its friends hate America enough to financially support all the groups they pretend to oppose.  Ponder that: Democrats financially support the very “hate” groups that they claim are destroying America.  By their own words, they are destroying America.

---------------------------------

Grappling with Hydras   A global hydra of tyrannies—from Caracas to Tehran to Beijing—spreads violence and narcotics abroad while its most dangerous head persists within America itself.

What is the one constant theme in this alternate left-wing universe?
   No Democrat outlines an immigration agenda, a way to round up Biden's criminal illegal alien entrants, an energy plan, a way to balance the budget, an anti-corruption agenda to stop the multibillion-dollar looting of the federal and state welfare systems, or a new strategic plan abroad. Instead, the party creates alternate realities that demand changing the system itself rather than working within it to appeal to the American voter.
   Living with daily delusions and shrieking at Trump demons raging in their collective heads is no way to run a country.

---------------------------------

When we recast sin as primarily a matter of feeling far from God rather than being in an objective state of rebellion against him, the solution gets altered. We no longer need a physician who prescribes a cure for a dying patient; we go looking for a therapist who helps us understand our feelings.

Are we done bullying nuns yet?
Apparently not, as evidenced by a new lawsuit in New York.

---------------------------------

The Road to Emmaus...A familiar Gospel story, and what it reveals about how we move through the world without seeing what’s right beside us   Those who would be disciples are reminded to listen, to look, to seek. To find. Because we are never alone in our journey. And when we discover that we are not alone, and who it is with us, we are uplifted as were Cleopas and his companion: “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” So much were they that they quit their meal and set back out on the road they had just trudged along. Only this time it is the road to Jerusalem—in Hebrew “Place of Peace.”

And I will be their God, and they shall be my people...

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”  -Jeremiah 31:33-34

The sacred page is not meant to be the end, but only the means toward the end, which is knowing God himself.

Iran to Spare Eight Women from Execution After Trump Plea, POTUS Says  “Very good news! I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed. Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison,” he wrote.

BREAKING: Judge Blocks Virginia Redistricting Referendum Certification Over Constitutional Violations   The decision halts the certification process, potentially blocking changes to Virginia’s congressional map, pending the outcome of the appeal. The new map, authorized in a close referendum on Tuesday, heavily favors the Democrats, likely handing the party another four seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

SPLC Charged With Fraud, Money Laundering: Allegedly Paid White Supremacist Groups $3M To ‘Stoke Racial Hatred’  An 11-count indictment has been handed down by the DOJ against the Southern Poverty Law Center for fraud and money laundering. They used shell accounts and prepaid cards to funnel cash to white supremacist groups so they would stoke racial hatred.

Report: Gov. Newsom Spent $1 Billion to Import 400,000 Extra Illegal Migrants “Since Newsom took office, California has granted massive contracts for migrant-related services: more than $250 million to Catholic Charities; $85 million to Jewish Family Services; $12 million to Centro Legal de la Raza; $23 million to the Immigration Institute of the Bay Area; and more,” according to an article by Christopher Rufe in City Journal.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ...

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,  even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. -Ephesians 1:3-6

The life of holiness is the life of faith in which the believer, with a deepening knowledge of his own sin and helplessness apart from Christ, increasingly casts himself upon the Lord, and seeks the power of the Spirit and the wisdom and comfort of the Bible to battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil. -Edmund P. Clowney

-----------------------------------

America Reads the Bible: How a Crisis Opened my Eyes to a Nation on Fire for God  Neither the secular news nor the pollsters are going to tell you revival has begun.  Yet we know we are witnessing amazing things like the organic 2023 Asbury revival, college campus awakenings led by UniteUS, and the largest single-day baptism in U.S. history — with over 7,750 people baptized in the Pacific Ocean at Huntington Beach, California last year.  And so many more stories — like unexpected joy and peace being transmitted around the world from a church in Stillwater, Oklahoma.  America is spiritually on fire.
   So let’s join President Trump with continuous worship and keep the fire burning.  Whether it’s live Bible readings on YouTube, sharing testimonies on TikTok, or organizing a flash mob prayer group, let’s build the momentum for the revival we already know is happening.

Time To Expose Evil...Believers are called to expose lies and darkness with truth and light   While all Christians may not be called to particular public ministries, such as being involved in the culture wars and exposing and calling out various evils and dangers, all believers should be living such a life that the light of Christ shines through.
    If so, then just like with Christ himself, some people will be drawn to that light, while some other folks will be repelled by it and react angrily against it. Either way, the real deal Christian will be provoking some sort of reaction. The light always exposes the darkness.

"Depraved Evil": Gay Couple Mocks Baby's Cry For 'Mama' In Viral Surrogacy Video Two gay men in Nashville recorded themselves taunting the baby they obtained through surrogacy as he cried desperately for his mother. The now viral clip has ignited fury across X.
  The clip opens with one man asking the infant, “Who do you want, Dada or Pop?” The baby responds, “Mama.” The man replies, “No, there is no mama,” and the baby cries.

Why More Americans Are Falling Back in Love With Local Farmers Markets That is one reason farmers markets have become more than a niche weekend pastime. For many Americans, they now represent a different way of thinking about food, money, health, and even neighborhood life. They are not just places to buy peaches, herbs, eggs, bread, flowers, or honey. They are places where people reconnect with the idea that what we eat actually comes from somewhere, and from someone.

We Are Thankful

We Are Thankful 
Sovereign Grace Music

VERSE 1
For goodness and for mercy that has surely followed us
And every blessing we could never earn
For all the gifts we cherish that are pictures of Your love
What could we ever offer in return? 

CHORUS
Thank You, thank You, Father, thank You 
You are always good 
Thank You, thank You, Father, thank You
You are always faithful and we are thankful 

VERSE 2
For sorrows and for trials that You send to shape our hearts 
And pain that keeps us clinging to Your grace  
For faith within the fire or Your presence in the dark 
What can we sing no matter what we face?

VERSE 3
For pardon and forgiveness through our Savior’s sacrifice 
And death that’s swallowed up in victory
For love that’s never failed us and Your everlasting life 
What will we say for all eternity?

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly...

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. -Colossians 3:16

The music of the gospel must precede the words of the gospel and prepare the context in which there will be a hunger for those words. What is the music of the gospel? The music of the gospel is the beauty of the indwelling Christ as lived out in the everyday relationships of life. -Joseph C. Aldrich

Iran Opens Fire on Tanker Near Oman After Re-Closing the Strait of Hormuz  Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps has once again demonstrated its willingness to turn a vital international waterway into a theater of aggression. On Saturday, IRGC gunboats approached a tanker roughly 20 nautical miles northeast of Oman and opened fire without provocation. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Organization confirmed the unprovoked assault occurred shortly after Tehran reimposed restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, accusing the United States of violating an agreement to keep the passage open.

------------------------------------

The Nuns Fighting New York to Serve Dying Cancer Patients  A small group of Catholic nuns is taking on one of the most powerful governors in the country. The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne are in a striking David-and-Goliath clash with Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and the full weight of New York state. What’s at stake is not just religious liberty, but also whether the kind of quiet charity the Sisters exercise is still welcome in American public life.
   Earlier this month, the Sisters filed suit against Hochul in U.S. District Court, challenging a 2024 New York law that requires long-term care facilities to use a patient’s preferred pronouns and to assign rooms and regulate restroom access according to gender identity rather than biological sex. The Sisters can’t comply without violating their Catholic faith. They formally asked the state for a religious exemption in March, but the state did not respond. Penalties for defiance include fines, license revocation, and jail time.

Tennessee has officially declared June to be “Nuclear Family Month” in what has been taken as a war on LGBTQ Pride  Christians are fed up with traditional beliefs being treated like a disease, and rightfully so.
   That’s ultimately what started turning people off, along with the twisted displays of debauchery at Pride parades. Tennessee is now saying what a lot of Americans have been muttering about for quite a while now.
   Enough is enough.

Britain’s Grooming Gang Nightmare: Media and State Complicity in the Industrial-Scale Rape and Sexual Slavery of Young British Girls by Muslim Migrants  Britain needs no more inquiries, no more platitudes, no more “far-right backlash” hysteria.

Beloved, let us love one another...

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. -1 John 4:7-11

How can we love a holy God? The simplest answer I can give to this vital question is that we can’t. Loving a holy God is beyond our moral power. The only kind of God we can love by our sinful nature is an unholy god, an idol made by our own hands. Unless we are born of the Spirit of God, unless God sheds his holy love into our hearts, unless He stoops in His grace to change our hearts, we will not love Him. He is the One who takes the initiative to restore our souls. Without Him we can do nothing of righteousness. Without Him we would be doomed to everlasting alienation from His holiness. We can only love Him because He first loved us.   -R.C. Sproul

---------------------------------

Despite Constant Media Lies, Trump Is Winning the War with Iran  Consider the significance of this admission: one of the most influential foreign policy experts in the U.S. media openly confessed that he wants the Iranian regime to lose, but not if this means a win for President Trump. A radical Islamist regime that murdered tens of thousands of its own citizens, killed thousands of American troops, armed terrorist groups, fired thousands of missiles at its neighbors, and is pursuing nuclear weapons is less objectionable to the media elite than the political success of a Republican president. For The New York Times, CNN, and MS NOW, America’s real enemy is not the murderous regime in Tehran. It’s President Trump.


OPEC for Americas? Iran Conflict Solidifies U.S. Focus On Western Hemisphere Oil  American companies have already begun ramping up investments in Latin America, closing new deals with a freshly compliant Venezuela and friendly Argentina in recent days that promise new capacity in the hemisphere.

US Army Trials Unmanned Hunter Wolf Robot With Gun, Radar In Combat Drills  The U.S. Army is quietly putting armed robots through their paces alongside real soldiers - and new footage suggests these machines could soon be a regular sight on tomorrow’s battlefields.

The Pope, Iran, and My Being Sentenced to Death as a Christian in Iran The Pope also recently stated that God does not hear the prayers of those who make war. Forget that this is biblically unfounded, that God Himself designated people who lead and fought wars to be some of the greatest Biblical role models; sometimes, war is necessary. In the case of Iran, it is. If the Islamic Regime is not eliminated and Iran is not freed from the darkness of Islam, it will continue to infiltrate Western society, erode our Judeo-Christian values, and see many more victims inside and outside Iran who will not be as lucky as I was. Image

Christians, Muslims, and the Truth About ‘Interfaith Dialogue’ Pope Leo and his ilk seem unable or unwilling to grasp that “interfaith dialogue” between Christians and Muslims is always, in reality, a monologue in which we are expected to listen and accommodate the latter accordingly. Sayyid Qutb, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, argued that interfaith dialogue with the West should be undertaken only to draw infidels over to Islam, bringing concessions with them.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel...

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”  -Romans 1:16-17

Faith is a living, unshakeable confidence in God’s grace; it is so certain, that someone would die a thousand times for it. This kind of trust in and knowledge of God’s grace makes a person joyful, confident, and happy with regard to God and all creatures. This is what the Holy Spirit does by faith. Through faith, a person will do good to everyone without coercion, willingly and happily; he will serve everyone, suffer everything for the love and praise of God, who has shown him such grace. It is as impossible to separate works from faith as burning and shining from fire. -Martin Luther
