R Scott Clark
The writers of the New Testament knew nothing of the theory that the ascended Lord Jesus is not now, in his ascension, exercising his “full divine will as King over all the earth.” Indeed, the New Testament says the very opposite: “Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified” (Acts 2:36). According to Peter, Christ is not waiting for a future earthly millennium to exercise his “full divine will as King over all the earth.” He is doing it now. -R Scott Clark; The Heidelberg Blog; The Gospel According To John (MacArthur)—Part 14 9.11.23

He is he editor of A Moment to Decide: The Crisis in Mainstream Presbyterianism (Institute for Democracy Studies, 2000).. He has often been cited by major media, including such major newspapers as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor and The Los Angeles Times. His radio appearances include NPR's Fresh Air, Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Talk of the Nation, as well as Pacifica's Democracy Now. His television interviews include CNN, Fox News, ABC's 20/20, and the CBS Evening News; as well as the BBC and the CBC.

As of 2012 he has been Senior Fellow at Political Research Associates in Somerville, MA. He is the co-founder of Talk to Action, a group blog which features critical reports about the religious right.
Oct 25, 2014: On The Record: Fredrerick Clarkson, a self proclaimed expert on the subject of the "religious right" and co-founder of "Talk To Action" mentioned again just this week that:
"In Mississippi, for example, they have successfully passed legislation that exempts businesses from laws requiring equal treatment of LGBTQ people if business owners' claimed religious convictions are opposed to homosexuality."
He claims the law is a violation of religious liberty and titles his article "Real Religious Liberty is Not Oppression." I don't disagree with the point, but what Clarkson is saying is that it's not real religious liberty if it allows religious people to make a choice. Instead, real liberty, to him, is when it complies with laws which opt for no choice at all and instead religions will do whatever the state or Federal laws say. Hmm, yes, it's a confusing sentence, but so is the logic: Real religious liberty is the religious right to only do what the government says they can do.
The Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act became law on July 1 of this year. It's intent was that it "will guarantee freedom of religion without government interference." The First Amendment of the US Constitution actually already does that, but since groups of people involved mainly in the LGBTQ community disavow the Constitution, the Mississippi law was set in place. And you know how many complaints from LGBTQ people in Mississippi have had to register official complaints about being oppressed because of the law have been? None. In fact, a Jackson resident, Mitchell Moore took action as the Washington Blade reported:
"Moore, along with Eddie Outlaw, a gay salon owner who grew up outside Yazoo City in the Mississippi Delta, Joce Pritchett of Jackson and a handful of others soon launched the “We don’t discriminate” campaign that features blue stickers with a thin rainbow band and the slogan “If you’re buying, we’re selling.”
And many businesses have posted the sticker. Though maybe I dont agree with what the premise of the "sticker activism" was, it's a religious liberty they have a right to engage in. A choice=liberty. Unlike Clarkson who hates the idea of choice and would rather that the government void the First Amendment and encroach on religious freedom.

Assemblies of God seek to stop deposition of CEO Doug Clay in Chi Alpha abuse lawsuit
Attorneys for the two men allege they were sexually abused by itinerant minister, known predator and convicted sex offender Daniel Savala, while they participated in the Assemblies of God-sponsored college ministry, which is on 300 campuses globally. The plaintiffs' attorneys, Anjali Nigam and Jill Herz, filed a notice last Monday of their intent to depose Clay on Oct. 3. Brian D. Hensley, the denomination's attorney, filed a supplemental motion last Tuesday to quash that plan and asked the court to issue a protective order blocking Clay's deposition pursuant to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 192.6(a) because he doesn't have "personal knowledge" regarding the day-to-day workings of the plaintiff entities.

American theocracy: Trinity Broadcasting Network’s nightly news program is spreading Christian nationalism
Trinity Broadcasting Network’s nightly news program Centerpoint repeatedly promoted Christian nationalism. Anchors and guests argue that the U.S. is a fundamentally Christian nation and encourage viewers to support Donald Trump in order to fulfill God’s wishes. TBN is an explicitly Christian broadcaster known globally for its televangelism and Christian lifestyle content. The network reaches around 95 million households via satellite, broadcasts 14 languages across 175 countries, and contains an extensive streaming portfolio. In 2022, TBN set its sights on a new type of programming ahead of the 2024 election: news. On March 23, 2022, TBN launched
Centerpoint, a 30-minute nightly news program produced by former Newsmax CEO Michael Clemente and initially anchored by ex-Fox correspondent Doug McKelway. According to Axios, the network claimed the “programming isn't meant to be politically biased, but will lean into Christian values.” The anchor lineup has shifted multiple times featuring various Christian voices such as Pastor Allen Jackson and former politician Rob Astorino, but recently TBN successfully poached yet another Newsmax expat, Lyndsay Keith.

Eric Trump claims his father is 'saving Christianity,' 'saving God'
David Closson, director of the Family Research Council’s Center for Biblical Worldview, reacted to Eric Trump’s claim that his father is “saving Christianity” in an interview with The Christian Post: “Eric Trump’s comments, I think, fail to appreciate that Christianity predates the Trump administration. Christianity, of course, does not need saving.” “The Gospel of Jesus Christ is going to go forth no matter what the American political situation looks like,” Closson told CP, clarifying that “Although I think Christians in America owe a great deal of gratitude to the Trump administration, we’re not looking to the Trump administration for salvation.” At the same time, he praised the Trump administration for prioritizing “many issues that social conservatives care about, whether that’s family, sexuality, the life issue.” “I think politics, of course, matters and politics can make missions and evangelism easier through good policies when it comes to religious liberty, but ultimately, American Christians shouldn’t be looking to any administration for what only God Himself can do. And so, I think that’s important for Christians to understand,” he concluded. “I do think that the Trump administration and folks associated with it, like Eric Trump, should not have an outsized view of what they’re doing. Again, Christians look to God; they look to His Word for direction. We fundamentally don’t want to put trust into the Trump administration in a way that would be misplaced or inappropriate.” (Christian Post 10/17/25) READMORE>>>>

“I do have concerns with what I understand PETA has done, which is using artificial intelligence, specifically ChatGPT, to rewrite the creation story. There’s obviously different translations of the Old and the New Testament with ChatGPT … [but] this isn’t just a difference in translation. This is a different interpretation of the actual text and I think that there are theological issues with what PETA is putting out in this version of the Bible.”

Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define who we are and who we are not. Boundaries impact all areas of our lives: Physical boundaries help us determine who may touch us and under what circumstances -- Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts and opinions -- Emotional boundaries help us to deal with our own emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions of others -- Spiritual boundaries help us to distinguish God's will from our own and give us renewed awe for our Creator -- Often, Christians focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. When confronted with their lack of boundaries, they ask:
- Can I set limits and still be a loving person?
- What are legitimate boundaries?
- What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries?
- How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money?
- Aren't boundaries selfish?
- Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries?
Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend offer biblically-based answers to these and other tough questions, showing us how to set healthy boundaries with our parents, spouses, children, friends, co-workers, and even ourselves.

Mark Noll famously stated, “The scandal of the evangelical mind is that there is not much of an evangelical mind.” Sadly, rooted thinking, even within the church, has fallen on hard times. We’re more concerned with how we feel than how we think. The Bible, however, makes it clear that renewing our mind is indispensable to growing in grace (Ro. 12:1-2; Eph. 4:22-24). God’s Word provides us a worldview that enables us to see life from a Godward perspective. We may not be able to do a lot in a book like Judges, but there are weighty truths about God, man, and our need for a Righteous King that have profound implications for how we think and live as the people of God. --Micah Colbert; Rooted Thinking 4.12.22

Christianity Was “Borderline Illegal” in Silicon Valley. Now It’s the New Religion
We are here to listen in on a conversation between Dr. Francis S. Collins, the former director of the National Institutes of Health and leader of the Human Genome Project, and Garry Tan, the president and CEO of Silicon Valley’s influential start-up incubator Y Combinator, which has hatched thousands of tech companies with a combined valuation of more than $600 billion. The event is called Code & Cosmos, and its underlying thesis is that the fields of science and technology, once considered diametrically opposed to religion and spirituality, might converge with the teachings of the Bible. In other words, business networking for the spiritually curious. “What is the real basis of morality?” Collins asks the crowd. “Why am I here? What happens after I die?” Collins, a thin, owlish man, gazes solemnly at the crowd, which already seems to have a sense of where this is going. “Science,” he says, “can’t really give you an answer.” But there is another answer to these questions, and it has to do with one Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom Collins encountered as a 20-something medical student grappling with the limits of atheism. Ever since, he said, “I’ve never really hit a situation where what I know as a rigorous scientist and what I believe as a Christ-centered Christian are in conflict.”

Martin G Collins
The Israelite set aside the second tithe throughout the year and consumed it at the annual holy festivals of God for whatever his heart desired. This means that he spent the tithe on things that enhanced his glorifying of God or added joy to the feast. The same applies to our use of second tithe today. Unlike the use of first tithe, the individual who saves second tithe should use it. God wants His people to enjoy the physical abundance He provides at the feasts as they worship Him and learn to reverence and fear Him in ways that please Him. Because of His blessing, many can also help others observe the feasts. -Martin G. Collins; Tithing: Second Tithe
Martin G Collins
A Christian should not let his light shine to be praised by others, but to bring glory to the Father. The Pharisees acted to be seen of men, but true Christians behave to glorify God, caring little what people may think of them. It is by our conduct, not our pomp and circumstance, that others may be brought to honor God. We should live so that people may see from our good works the proper nature of God's way of life. Good works cannot be hidden because they stand in stark contrast to the ways of this wicked world (I Timothy 5:25). These works are required behavior at home and in the outside world.

Feb 13, 2023: The Daily News: Orthodox Church offers 'new' denomination of Christianity
The Rev. Thomas Colyandro, who serves as the priest of Galveston’s Saints Constantine and Helen Serbian Orthodox Church, can help explain these differences, especially on icons, which the Catholic church has, throughout history has in turns, either embraced or shunned.
“We strive to maintain a balance of familial and communal care with time for personal devotion,” he said. “This starts with our Sunday services. These focus our parishioners on the sacramental life: God’s gifts given to draw people closer to him. And, on our icons: artistic renderings of Jesus, Mary and the saints. They remind us of God’s presence and our own ability to respond to him and each other with love.”

Pastors slam Todd Starnes for urging Christians to leave churches if they didn’t preach on Trump attack
Taylor Combs, a pastor at King’s Cross church in Nashville, Tennessee, was a bit more nuanced in his response to Starnes but he, too, did not agree that Christians should leave their churches if their pastors chose not to preach about the assassination attempt against Trump on Sunday. “There are reasons to leave your church. This isn’t one of them. At every membership interview, I tell future members that there will come a time when they think I say too much, too little, or the wrong thing about some cultural issue. But that’s no reason to leave!” Combs said in a thread on Starnes’ comment on X. (Christian Post 7/15/24) READMORE>>>>>
