Ash Wednesday Abomination: Glitter Ash for “Gay Christians”

Last updated on: February 10, 2020 at 4:58 pm By Bethany Blankley

The latest abomination to infiltrate the church was sadly introduced by the United Methodist Church today, on a day intended for some Christians in the Western world to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross and his propitiation for our sins. Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, begins the 46 day-period before Easter Sunday. This period is a time when people reflect, pray, give up something to remind themselves of Christ’s sacrifice, and focus on the Holy Triune God... Read more

Witches Unite To Harm Trump, Starting Tonight at Midnight

Last updated on: February 12, 2020 at 6:04 pm By Bethany Blankley

Real witches are coming together tonight to cast spells to harm President Donald Trump. According to ExtraNewsFeed, witches are circulating instructions in private witchcraft groups and throughout the Internet detailing how to cast a spell that would “bind Trump to all who abet him.” At the stroke of midnight tonight, and on the waning crescent moon days of February 24, March 26, April 24, May 23, and June 21 (the summer solstice), witches will repeat the same spells, and until Trump leaves office....

Pisces: Fishers of Men and the Persecuted Church

Last updated on: February 12, 2020 at 11:43 pm By Bethany Blankley

The seventh sign of a Series: “God’s Zodiac: The Gospel in the Stars” (February 19-March 20), Pisces points to the church’s liberator and original Fisher of Men. Pisces is the sign of the universal and persecuted church and the continuous outworking of the gospel that multiplies in every generation. Jesus’s first followers– the fish that transformed from the sacrificial goat– Capricorn— are again represented in the sign of The Two Fishes. They are the fruit of the seed of the woman, Virgo, held... Read more

Why is AT&T Promoting Polyamorous As Normal?

Last updated on: February 13, 2020 at 1:11 pm By Bethany Blankley

On Valentine’s Day, Entertainment One premiered its second season of You Me Her on the Audience Network, operated by AT&T. I haven’t watched it and don’t plan to, but it’s another example in a long list of media efforts to normalize that which is harmful. The show is billed as a “contemporary classic romantic comedy.” Unlike Three’s Company, where three heterosexual monogamous roommates lived together, this show is promoting the “lifestyle” choice of polyamorous relationships otherwise known as “throupling” as the “in-thing.”...

EPIC: Jonathan Cahn Sums Up Obama’s Anti-Christian Legacy

Last updated on: February 13, 2020 at 1:12 pm By Bethany Blankley

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn’s last words to Barack Obama, as described in his National Prayer Breakfast remarks, are perhaps the most fitting summary of Obama’s anti-biblical and anti-Christian legacy. He said, Obama: “Led this nation to champion the killing of the unborn, and not only within its own borders, but in that of other nations across the world. “Labored to strike down the standards and order ordained by God concerning man and woman and marriage, not only within these borders, but around...

The Promise of Aquarius: Pouring Out of the Holy Spirit

Last updated on: February 13, 2020 at 11:29 am By Bethany Blankley

Aquarius, the sixth sign in The Gospel in the Stars (January 20-February 18), represents the promise of the Holy Spirit. The twelve signs of the Solar Zodiac are divided into three groups with each group having a specific focus, according to the seminal work produced by Joseph Agustus Seiss in the 19th century, used as the basis for this series. The second group, including Capricornus, Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries, focuses on the fruit of Jesus’s redemption, namely the Church. Seiss defines the... Read more

God’s Favor: 2017 Inauguration & Beyond

Last updated on: January 13, 2020 at 12:54 pm By Bethany Blankley

Some argue that the election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th president of the United States was the result of the brilliance of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Others argue momentum for Trump grew because of increased support from and voter mobilization by Evangelical Christians and conservative Roman Catholics. Others argue the purge of democrats stemmed from the sheer volume of those who stayed home. Then, of course, there’s the “fake news” narrative that Russian hackers rigged the election. While these...

Lessons on Love & Eternity from The Velveteen Rabbit

This article won first place in the 2017 Xulon Press Christian Writers Awards Writing Contest. The Velveteen Rabbit nurtures our imagination to experience love and eternity in our relationships with others and God. “What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit. “When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real,” said the Skin Horse, a wise toy.

49 Years After MLK Christian Pastors Call For Arms: Guns & Prayer Are Necessary

Last updated on: February 13, 2020 at 1:04 pm By Bethany Blankley

One event ignored by nearly all media this past Christmas was the slaughter of more than 100 mostly Christian Nigerians– and– the razing of 50,000 homes, the destruction of thousands of acres of farmland, and the displacement of roughly 10,000 people in southern Kaduna, Nigeria. The pre-Christmas season atrocity was just one of many perpetrated by people the government calls, “herdsmen,” who were known to have relentlessly terrorized 25 villages where Christians predominantly live. The government’s response has been and continues to be: nothing.... Read more

SILENCE: An Incredible Story of Martyrdom & Faith [video]

Last updated on: February 13, 2020 at 1:07 pm By Bethany Blankley

“Do we have this kind of faith in America?” Academy Award-Winning Director Martin Scorsese asks when discussing the faith of the men depicted in his most recent film, Silence, released on December 23, 2016. The film is based on Shusaku Endo’s 1966 novel, Silence, a work of historical fiction based on true events. The film stars Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, and Liam Neeson as 17th century Portuguese priests who travel to Japan to spread the gospel and are persecuted and tortured... Read more
