More allegations of Chinese Communist Party police stations in the US

Published by

New York prosecutors recently arrested two individuals for allegedly setting up illegal police stations on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the city. This took place shortly after Safeguard Defenders announced in an update on Tuesday, April 18, 2023, that it has allegedly uncovered more Chinese police stations in several American cities, Breitbart reports. Safeguard, a non-government agency, said in a September 2022 report that it has found evidence of 110 CCP police stations around the world including many in the US. In its Tuesday update, the agency announced it has found evidence of more illegal police stations that included several new ones in the US. Breitbart provides more details: On Tuesday, Safeguard Defenders told the New York Post that the group believes at least one other illegal Chinese police station is still operating in New York City, in addition to several other American cities. A Safeguard Defenders spokeswoman told the newspaper: “We found at least four listed in the US by PRC [People’s Republic of China] public security authorities, plus flagged an additional …

No, God Did NOT Prescribe the Use of Cannabis in the Bible

Published by

By Dr Michael Brown Just when you think you’ve heard it all, a pastor calls your radio show asking how to respond to a congregant who claims that cannabis was sanctioned by God in the Torah. That’s right, sanctioned by the Lord Himself, not to be smoked but to be burned in large quantities by the priests of Israel. Far out! To be sure, there was a time in my life when I would have readily believed something like this, since I spent 1969-1971 as a heavy drug-using, hippie rock drummer, consuming everything from pot to LSD and from speed to heroin. Not surprisingly, when my two best friends starting reading the Bible, telling me about the more esoteric passages in the Scriptures – all kinds of visions and dreams and revelations – I asked them in jest, “What were they smoking?” That, in fact, is what I asked the pastor (again, in jest) who called the show: What is this congregant smoking? It turns out that there is an alleged scholarly basis for this …

Will two shards from the cross Jesus was crucified on be part of King Charles coronation?

Published by

It has been said that there were enough shards of wood from Christ’s original cross being peddled across Europe during the Middle Ages that you could have built cathedrals out of them. Nevertheless, the New York Post reports that the Cross of Wales, a silver cross, specially created for King Charles coronation on May 6, 2023, will have two shards of wood attached to it said to be from the cross which Jesus was crucified on. According to reports, Pope Francis gifted the two shards to King Charles to be used during the ceremony, and they were incorporated into the cross designed by Silversmith Michael Lloyd. The cross, which will be part of the procession, will also have the words of King David, the patron saint of Wales, inscribed on it: “Byddwch lawen. Cadwch y ffydd. Gwnewch y Pethau Bychain,” which in English reads “Be joyful. Keep the faith. Do the little things.” READ: King Charles’ coronation cross will have shards from Christ’s crucifixion

Shammah: David’s mighty warrior who stood his ground

Published by

Shammah is one of my favorite heroes from the Old Testament. He was a member of a group of men who followed David to the cave of Adullam. At this point, David was a young adult fleeing for his life from an unstable King Saul. David had years earlier killed his giants, lions, bears and under Saul, many Philistines. And even though the prophet Samuel had declared David to be the next king, he was running for his life from the ‘old guard’ in Israel. The warriors who had gathered with David were part of his 3-D club. They were in distress, in debt and discontented: David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him. 2 And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was[a]discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him. (1 Samuel 22:1-2 NKJV) There were originally …

Canada: Twitter annoys CBC

Published by

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is a government-owned and taxpayer-funded national TV and radio station. It receives annual government subsidies of around $1.24 billion a year. Why taxpayers are financing media outlets when there are hundreds to choose from is beyond belief? But there is an old saying, ‘He who pays the piper, calls the tune,’ and CBC unquestionably has a left-wing pro-government bias. So because of that Twitter’s boss, Elon Musk, has decided to put a byline on any media outlet that receives government funding. Since such a byline would suggest it was little more than a government propaganda office, several outlets were outraged when the byline appeared. This included PBS and NPR in the US. When Musk added the byline, ‘Government-funded Media’ to CBC’s byline, it was similarly enraged and paused its Twitter account in protest. But it didn’t stop there. Even Canada’s Prime Minister jumped into the fray expressing his displeasure that CBC was considered a government-funded media, which it was. But then the fun started. CBC supporters also quickly pointed out …

Country music star Granger Smith to leave entertainment industry for ministry

Published by

In an April 11, 2023, Instagram post, country music star, Granger Smith, announced he will be leaving the entertainment industry to work in full time ministry at the church he attends near Austin, Texas. Smith, 43, will finish off his current singing tour, “Like a River”, on August 26, 2023, before entering full time ministry. Smith added that he has been taking classes at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary located in Wake Forest, North Carolina in preparation for this move. “This summer will be my last tour. I am so encouraged and hopeful and excited and joyful about the next chapter, but to a large extent, I have no idea what it will look like. I just want to glorify God the best way that I can,” Smith explained on Instagram. Smith’s final tour was named after his three-year-old son, who died in a pool accident in 2019. Smith has released 11 albums in his 24-year country-singing career that included one number-one hit in 2016, entitled “Backroad Song” and a second song, “If the Boot Fits” …

Cuban officials detain and interrogate 7-year-old girl for not being sufficiently communist

Published by

We are seeing children being attacked around the world, but perhaps the most blatant display was seen in Cuba, which has taken a sharp turn to the left due to the influence of Communist China. Communist authorities recently detained and interrogated the seven-year-old daughter of an anti-communist dissident to find out if she had sufficient communist revolutionary fervor. Breitbart provides more details: Communist state security officials in Camagüey, Cuba, detained and interrogated seven-year-old Katherin Acosta Peña on Thursday regarding her mother, dissident Marisol Peña Cobas, who faces charges of corruption of youth for insufficiently indoctrinating Acosta into communism. […] Police reportedly took away both Peña and Acosta and interrogated the child in a room separate from her mother. According to Peña, who spoke to the U.S.-based Radio Martí outlet afterward, a prosecutor, an official with the Ministry of the Interior, and a psychologist with the Ministry all interrogated the child.[…] Peña said her daughter told her that the interrogators asked her if her mother treated her well, the identity of her father, and if she …

Video: Mother unloads on District Attorney Alvin Bragg over brutal murder of her son

Published by

Most of you have heard of the left wing New York County District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, who has brought forward 34 indictments against former US President Donald Trump. Well, here is another side of DA Bragg brought to you by a mother, whose son was brutally murdered in Harlem, New York by four people who he did not know and had not interacted with. It was a random and brutal murder. The victim’s mother explains what happened next to those criminals after Bragg became District Attorney. Jesus prophetically said that in the days leading up to His second coming, there would be a dramatic increase in lawlessness in the end times, and because of that people’s hearts will grow cold (Matthew 24:12). What is shocking is that we are seeing lawlessness increasing as woke, left-wing politicians and DAs are refusing to properly prosecute criminals.

Renown journalist returned to the Christian faith because it’s ‘really, really hard’

Published by

14 For if you forgive other people for their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive other people, then your Father will not forgive your offenses. (Matthew 6:14-15 NASV) In a recent interview with The Joe Rogan Experience, Michael Shellenberger, a renowned journalist who worked on the Twitter files shared how he has returned to the Christian faith. Shellenberger was raised in a congregational home but had fallen away from his faith, but he returned while writing his latest book, Apocalypse Never. But the reason he returned is fascinating. For decades, Christians have pushed the notion that Christianity is free and easy and all we have to do is believe Jesus died for our sins, but what actually attracted Shellenberger was how hard the Christian faith was. When he looked at the anger and divisions that are starting to break apart American society, Shellenberger realized that Christ’s message that we needed to love our enemies was the solution. But loving your enemies is hard. “What’s the remedy for this …

Will San Francisco State University enforce Islam’s blasphemy law?

Published by

An incident in California has exposed an interesting division in Islam. You have undoubtedly heard of Muslims becoming outraged when people show images of Muhammad. Many Muslims, but not all, consider such images as an act of blasphemy. Maziar Behrooz, who teaches at San Francisco State University, found himself under investigation by school administrators for allegedly showing a picture of Muhammad in one of his classes, Front Page reports. This is perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this story as it appears by opening an investigation, the university is prepared to enforce Islam’s blasphemy laws in America. But here is the fascinating twist. Behrooz is a Muslim and teaches Islamic history at the university. But he is also a Shia Muslim and Shiites actually allow and use pictures of Muhammad as part of their religious expression. However, Sunnis, another branch of Islam do not, and they consider it a blasphemous act to have a picture of Muhammad. And according to Front Page, Behrooz was allegedly showing a Shiite icon of Muhammad, and it is suspected …

Controversial movie, ‘Come out in Jesus Name,’ causes a stir in theaters across America

Published by

Another Christian movie is causing a stir in American theaters. This is not only because it hit number five in box office sales, but also because of what is happening in theaters where it is being shown. The movie, called “Come out in Jesus Name,” focuses on the power of the Holy Spirit to deliver people from demonic influences. The Demon Slayer Podcast, which includes Pastor Greg Locke, Alexander Pagani, Vlad Savchuk, and Isaiah Saldivar, were the driving force behind the movie’s production that came in fifth behind “AIR,” “Dungeons & Dragons,” “John Wick: Chapter 4,” and “The Super Mario Bros.” Incredibly it placed second when considering per screen average sales. Through the movie, the members of Demons Slayers Podcast are hoping that Christians will understand and embrace their authority in Christ over the demonic. But aside from how well the movie has done financially, it is what is happening at the theaters that is proving quite controversial, as God TV states there have been reports of healings, salvations, and deliverances. As an example, God …

Elon Musk shows us how to deal with mainstream media

Published by

Elon Musk was recently interviewed by a BBC reporter, James Clayton, who said that Twitter now had more hateful content on it since Musk took over. Here is how Musk calls out the lie: When Clayton asked Musk why Twitter wasn’t challenging misinformation on the site, Musk asked who is the ultimate arbiter of truth here? Who gets to decide what is true and what isn’t? Government? The BBC? Even though social media sites were censoring any studies that questioned the validity of masks in stopping the spread of COVID, at the request of governments, we all know today that masks were basically useless.

Published by

Vandals broke into Konnarock Baptist Church in Washington County in West Virginia over the Easter weekend spray-painting satanic messages and phallic symbols on the interior and exterior of the building. It was solely an act of vandalism, as nothing seems to have been stolen from the church. The church was broken into on Sunday morning after the morning service and all interior rooms except for the main sanctuary were vandalized. The messages included ‘believe in satan,’ ‘I’m not sorry,’ a pentagram and 666. Several windows were broken and there was also a stick figure hanging from a noose painted on one wall as well as phallic images.

What Should You Do When Your Plans Seem Hindered?

Published by

Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us. — 1 Thessalonians 2:18 Have you ever pursued something that you believed was God’s will, yet obstacles seemed to keep you from doing what you thought you were supposed to do? If you have, don’t feel alone, because many people have been in that same position! Even the apostle Paul felt this way from time to time! But what should you do in times like these? Today I want you to particularly notice the word “hindered” in the verse above. It comes from the Greek word egkopto, an old word that was originally used to describe a road so deteriorated and broken up that it was impassable. Have you ever driven down a road on your way to your destination, only to discover that the road you’re driving on is too full of ruts and holes to continue your journey? As a result, you have to turn around, go back, and find another route to get where you are going. …
