“If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discernment, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in Christianity, the pulpit is responsible for it. If satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it.” —Rev. Charles Finney, 1792-1875
Read the last sentence of Finney’s statement again. “If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it.” This statement from an 1800’s preacher is true for today.
From my friend Ruth, “Congratulations to Trump for his Super Tuesday wins, despite the last-minute lying and bashing by the MSM. How convenient that the NYT, on the very day of voting, says they have an “audio” of Trump backstage saying he doesn’t mean any of the things he says, and would never do any of those things. Of course, they refuse to release this non-existent audio. Purposeful damage done.”
Remember the 1964 Supreme court decision, NYT’s v. Sullivan, which now allows the media (as well as public figures) to lie through their teeth with impunity about other public figures.
The GOPe, the DNC, and the MSM will haul out all their CFR globalists pals and bash Trump with every lie and half-truth they can think of….to hell with what the American people want!
The Church’s Failure to Discern
In 2008, I parted from a friend of over 20 years. Why? Because she and her Lutheran pastor husband were voting for Obama. I asked her how, as a Christian, she could possibly support someone who had voted against the BAIPA act in Illinois three times. That’s the Born Alive Infant Protection Act which allows care for infants who have survived abortions. (In my Bible, there is no way you can call yourself a Christian and vote for baby murder.) She wouldn’t answer me. I told her I obviously never knew her. That was the end of our friendship.
Today, it’s the same thing. I’ve written dozens of articles on the GOP candidates for president. I’ve exposed their lies, their votes, their pasts, and their false doctrine religions. One cyber bud told me I was taking flak because I’d hit the nail on the head. The reality of it is that some fellow Christians are so lacking in discernment that they’ll vote for someone who uses the most unscrupulous tactics, and lies to destroy their opponents. They lie not only about their opponents with made up fictional stories, but they lie about their own attributes and pasts. Yet, these same Christians will attack the messenger rather than the message, saying I’m not a Christian for writing these documented articles and exposing the truth.
I’ve asked them why they attack the messenger rather than the message, and why they think lying by a so-called Christian candidate is okay. I don’t get any further answers, just more attacks, both personal and on the candidate I support. It just proves to me, over and over again, that the swill from the DNC, GOP, and MSM is still believed by those who have little insight or good judgment. Government propaganda does work because many Americans are too lazy to read or research on their own.
When the FBI is taught about counterfeit American dollars, they don’t study the counterfeits. They study our real bills. They know them so well that they can spot a fake in a NY second. The same goes for Christians. We have to know God’s Word so well, that we can spot the fakes in a flash. This is where the pulpits have failed. Unfortunately, too few pick up God’s Word and daily read it, and our pulpits have become infiltrated and neutralized.
The Lies and Hatred
Remember the media and other public figures can lie with impunity, because of the 1964 Supreme court decision in New York Times v. Sullivan.
The GOP says, “Donald Trump is not a Conservative.” This is code for saying, “Donald Trump is not a globalist like us.” Obviously the GOP, who is in bed with the left’s agenda, wanted to run Jeb Bush on the ticket. Since Jeb is out of the picture, they’ll destroy their own top candidate to get Hillary in the White House so the New World Order plans will continue. Donald has totally upset their apple cart.
A GOP consulting firm has been hired to research an independent presidential bid in case Trump wins the nomination, and that’s why Willard Romney is waiting in the wings. The independent ballot document, stamped “confidential,” was authored by staff at Data Targeting, a Republican firm based in Gainesville, Florida. The memo notes that “it is possible to mount an independent candidacy but will require immediate action on the part of this core of key funding and strategic players.” [Link]
This is how much the GOPe hates Trump….they’d rather throw the election to Hillary than allow the GOP front runner to win. Remember, they have been planning this NWO for decades and they’re not about to let Donald destroy it.
The Media’s David Duke KKK Lies
Watch this video of David Duke stating the fact that CNN is lying. David Duke himself says he’s never endorsed Donald Trump. The level the GOPe is stooping to is unconscionable.
While the media has attempted to smear Donald Trump with this phony made up endorsement by former Ku Klux Klan member David Duke, Hillary Clinton has escaped scrutiny despite the fact that she once praised ex-KKK member Robert Byrd as her “friend and mentor.”
Senator Ted Cruz has been extremely vocal about Mr. Trump and the so-called false endorsement by former Klansman and Grand Wizard, David Duke. But Senator Cruz’ campaign has its own KKK connection in Family Research Council president, and former Louisiana Representative, Tony Perkins. (CNP member, UN-NGO member).
In 1996, when Representative Tony Perkins was helping the US Senate campaign of Woody Jenkins against Mary Landrieu, Perkins was fined $3,000 for filing false disclosure forms in an attempt to hide $82,500 he had paid for a mailing list from…guess who…David Duke. (Believe me, I don’t trust SPLC, but this is documented all over the web.
Perkins has also caused controversy being pictured addressing a group that has been known for white supremacist rhetoric, the Council of Conservative Citizens, while a Louisiana State Representative. [Link]
Senator Cruz really ought to check his own endorsements…
Max Lucado and Christian Post
Max Lucado and Christian Post have both come out against “fake Christian” Donald Trump. They sit in judgment of him without knowing anything about him, his faith, or his unbelievably generous donations, and help to so many Americans. Wonder why? Because Christian Post and Lucado have their own stealth reasons for fighting Trump. They are part of the 103 evangelicals (if you can call them that) of the Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT) and are for amnesty with far-left Democratic activist, Jim Wallis, founder of Sojourner Magazine. Breitbart News has reported, that EIT’s efforts have been funded by the George Soros financed National Immigration Forum. Thus the EIT will be fighting Trump’s nomination all the way.
Both Samuel Rodriquez and, one-world-religion loving CFR member, Richard Land, were signatories to the EIT statement supporting the 2013 Gang of Eight illegal alien amnesty bill co-sponsored by Senator Marco Rubio.
Planned Parenthood
Trump has made it clear over and over again, that he wants to defund Planned Parenthood, because they do abortions. When they first began, as Trump points out, they used to educate and do pap smears and HPV cancer screenings, which was a service for low income women. They no longer do this today, and they’ve never done mammograms. This is why Trump wants to defund it. By the way the 12th video is out regarding Planned Parenthood’s abortions of intact late term babies. Trump is pro-life, and the argument is moot.
Trump University
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida more than once referred to Trump’s real estate academy as a fake university, while Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas relished the implications of a presidential candidate being put on the witness stand. Problem is, it’s another lie. If anyone were to look at our local papers, the University of Tennessee is being sued left and right. Other universities and colleges have the same problems. However, in all these universities, 98 to 99% of the graduates are happy. The same goes for Trump’s graduates.
In 2015, Donald Trump won a key legal battle when a federal district court in California partially decertified a class action lawsuit against Trump and the now-defunct Trump University, which once offered real estate classes. A statement by the Trump legal team said the ruling “validates the fact that Trump University provided a legitimate and valuable real estate education.”
That, coupled “with the fact that 98% of all Trump University students rated the program ‘excellent,’ and was also rated ‘A’ by the Better Business Bureau, will ultimately doom Plaintiffs’ claims.”
Trump’s opponents are grabbing at straws, and following the orders of the GOP establishment to stop Trump at all costs.
Trump’s Tax Audits
Trump has said he will not release his tax returns until an IRS audit is complete.
“For many years, I’ve been audited every year. Twelve years or something like that,” he said during Thursday night’s GOP debate.
Shortly after the debate, the businessman suggested that the IRS was targeting him because of his religion. (Please understand that this man gives to a huge number of charities, as well as giving to people in need, or people who have in some way helped him. Even his son Eric, who works for his father, has given over $20 million to St. Jude’s.) But the head of IRS, John Koskinen disagreed. “That’s something that would never cause you to be audited,” Koskinen said. “We don’t care who you are, who you voted for, what party you belong to, whether you go to church, or don’t go to church.”
What a load of bull Koskinen’s statement is…does anyone remember all the Tea Parties who were targeted and audited by the honest upright IRS?
Any tax professional that has high end clients that routinely report complex tax matters has had multiple examinations. They may or may not have been successive, but it (as far as the taxpayer and his hired professionals are concerned) is considered ongoing.
The absolute worst thing Donald Trump could do is to respond to it. Responding to the provocation is exactly what they want. Dismiss it like you would swat an annoying gnat. Why? Because Willard Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are behind this. Romney is waiting in the wings to jump into the GOPe fray as presidential candidate… Because they’ll do anything to destroy Trump, even running Romney so we’ll end up with the New World Order, corrupt, and murderous globalist, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Stay tuned, so much more to report!

Very familiar with Finney. He’d have a hard time finding a church that would support him today. We are more than ever at the “itching ears” time in Church history. This sad reality is the focus of my personal ministry and brings all the criticism and rejection you might expect along with it. Despite so much Scripture about the reality of deception in the Church, It amazes me how ignorant and defensive so many believers get when Christian culpability is discussed. It’s like the attitude of the old testament Jews every time just prior to experiencing God’s chastening hand. “Leave us alone, we’re God’ chosen one’s” and “We’ve got it made” and “Love is all that matters” seem to be the mantras of today’s “feel good” Church . Very frustrating! I daily fall back on the fact of God’s Sovereignty in ALL things for His peace in the midst of all the turmoil. I’m afraid of where I’d be if I didn’t believe that.

Most of them haven’t the discernment of a dead fish, that’s what absolutely blows me away. The pulpits truly have failed, and very few read anymore…purposefully done by the Marxist one-worlders for control. Sad as it is. One thing that continually drives me nuts is the use of II Chron. 7:14…the church uses it all the time for “the church.” But it was never meant for the church, they take it totally out of context. It was ONLY TO ISRAEL. If one doesn’t read the entire context, then they end up being guilty of what cults do, taking a verse out of context and laying a foundation on it.

CZ, you are not the only one that is so fed up with hearing II Chron. 7:14… quoted. I tell myself every time I hear someone say this I am going to puke! This verse has been misquoted and misused to the point where it literally has no meaning, especially for the so-called “church” of today. May the Lord have mercy.

Are you certain of your 2Cron take? Perhaps I just don’t understand your point of view. The apostle Paul tells us that God’s dealings with the Jews are given to us as “ensembles”(KJV) for the New Testament Church that we may learn and not make some of the same mistakes. And unfortunately, I’m sure you”ll agree, we ARE making the same mistakes. Surely we need to “Humble ourselves and pray and seek His face….Etc.” today if there is to be any hope for America renewal at all. Yet, that doesn’t appear to be happening. I”m surrounded by so many Christians listening to celebrity authors and teachers who are just like the pandering prophets of old who are not “sent of God” and as 2Peter says are being made “merchandise” of. I keep calling it the “feel good” gospel because it’s all about ME, ME and ME. Sad.

Very sure. This is a promise of prayer in II Chron 7:12-18 and states that if the Jewish people will turn to God, He will heal their land. These verses are often taken out of context here in the US. Many people apply this Scripture to the US; that if all the believers get together and really pray and repent, God will heal the land. God made NO SUCH PROMISE TO ANY OTHER PEOPLE OR TO ANY OTHER LAND THAN THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND THE LAND OF ISRAEL. “A text apart from its context is a pretext.” And this promise is specifically directed to the Jewish people and specifically the Land of Israel.

Couldn’t agree more about the importance of context in Scripture but is it really an invalid stretch , for instance, to claim 1Pet 5:6 as applying to nations as well as individuals in this matter. “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you in due time.” I believe that God prospered America so powerfully in the past for operating in the spirit of this verse and many others in His Word. And is it not possible that he could revive this once great nation if we were turn our hearts back to Him in the spirit of 2Cron. He repented of destroying Nineva with Jonah at least for a time when they turned from their wicked ways. We all agree that the modern church has dropped the ball, to say the least. Maybe if the “MY people” of today respond appropriately to the charge of 2Cor, we can still have hope. And, once again, what about 1Cor 10:11 which states “Now all these things ( Israel idolatry,etc.) happened unto them for ensambles and they are written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the world are come.” While it’s true that the 2Cor promise is surely made to Israel, is not our God is “the same yesterday, today and tomorrow? Is it not consistent with his character and nature to reward “those (individuals and nations )who diligently seek him”. I’m always open, MA and CZ, but for now, I just don’t have your same understanding in this matter. In Love,Bill.

Bill, it’s hard to explain in short notes in comment section, but here’s the thing, the majority of people I know who use this verse are talking about the church and America, and again, it doesn’t belong to the church or to America….but…and here’s the problem. Many of the people who use it are from the replacement theology churches, and when I tell them that it’s only for Israel, that’s the context, they go into the whole diatribe that God is done with Israel. We know that’s not true because so many of the 8 covenants of the Bible, the very backbone of it are to Israel, and many are UNCONDITIONAL. It doesn’t matter what Israel does, she’s still part of God’s plan. God loves her, and she will come home to Him in the end. The Bible is clear even in the New Testament where Paul repeats the Abrahamic Covenant, which is always and forever to Israel. That’s all I’m saying, it gives me the willies when the replacement churches transfer what belongs ONLY to Israel to the church. We’re the bride of Christ, Israel is the wife of God.

Yes, what’s so bizarre is I never knew this about my beloved Missouri Synod Lutheran Church, even going through catechism and everything. I thought they believed like I believed because I’d read the Bible. But surprise, surprise, they didn’t….and years ago when the pastor was teaching Revelation I was shocked. I couldn’t believe they twisted the Bible like they did. So, I started a very long research into anti-Semitism in the church. It took me about 10 years to put it all together, but it was really quite blatant. From there I went to the Holocaust, and because I was the exec. producer for a national talk radio host at the time, we did a 21 week series (Weds. night for 2 hrs.) on the Holocaust. Had terrific guests, many are now gone. I’ve studied with Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s Ariel Ministries for almost 2 dozen years now.
