Wars And Rumors Of Wars
A Look At The Condition Of The World: June 2024
After a fairly lackluster June, recent news seems to indicate that things will pick up quite a lot for the month of July.
World events have been relatively quiet for a minute now. At least, “quiet” in the context of the greater overall shifting power structures around the world, which have been going haywire since 2020.
But a few key developments seem to indicate that this calm before the storm is rapidly ending.
First off, the Israel and Lebanon war that is about to begin. This conflict will certainly be used as a proxy war between the West and the rapidly developing BRICS bloc. We have deployed quite a bit of money and weapons against the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and so on, and I expect them to return the favor by supporting Hezbollah and the Syrian/Iraqi proxies. This war in particular has the risk of easily exploding into not just a larger regional war, but a world war.
Then there are the increasing terrorist attacks happening on Russian soil. The most recent one in Dagestan claiming the lives of dozens of Orthodox Christians. All of these attacks are conducted or fueled by the Islamic State (ISIS). Shocking to absolutely no one, this is the same group that is front-run by the Israelis and the United States. Haven’t you ever wondered why the supposedly Islamic-Jihadi organization has never attacked Israel, but has attacked every country that opposes Israel? Russia knows this as well as we do. These attacks, many against Christians, are deliberate attacks by the Satanic United States. Russia has even said that they understand the situation as much. The question is only how long they are going to continue to endure such fragrant assaults against their own civilians without escalation, which is clearly what the West wants.
Next up, we have some pretty unexpected developments on the Asian front. In particular, one under-reported one is that the Philippines and the Chinese are going again at it again. I’m not super surprised, but you know somehow it stems from the provocation of the West. Then there is the whole North Korea business. They’re actually sending troops over the DMZ zone to test the South, and they just signed a major defensive pact with Russia. Also, Japan is building up her armies, against their historical norm. And Taiwan just had their elections, and elected a very pro-West, United States proxy leader. Sides are being drawn through every one of these events, that much is obvious. But tensions are also heating up, far more than they have been earlier in this year.
Finally, we can’t forget the looming South American invasion by Venezuela into Guyana that is certain to come. Really, I think the Venezuelans are just waiting for more pressing wars to pop off before they decide to jump in to the worldwide chaos under the radar. Probably a wise choice.
Looking back, the first half of this year was relatively dull. At least, I think we will be saying that once the second half of this year is finished, and all the above is not even considering that it’s an election year here in the States.
War and rumors of wars everywhere. I don’t know if the world has been this much on the precipice in my entire lifetime. Even the so-called War on Terror didn’t have the same feeling that this one does.
Call it intuition, or just an odd gut feeling, but I think 2024 and 2025 are going to be the years of substantial change across this world. The kind of change that we haven’t previously seen in any of our lifetimes.

My Top Three Christian News Sources
A List Of Recommended Christian News Outlets
“What Are Your Top Christian and Secular News Sources?”
I had this question come through the mailbox the other day.
I sent the reader to my Recommended Reads page to find my top secular news sources (there are far too many to name). But I realized I have never shared any Christian ones.
This article is going to fix that.
Instead of listing all of them, I’m just going to name my Top 3. You can find the rest through these three, anyway. Most of them cross-post among themselves.
I enjoy them all equally. So, in no particular order:
All three point out the absolute apostasy of the modern American church on a regular basis, which is what you should be looking for in a Christian news source. Any website that is claiming to give Christian news, but is not constantly on the offense against the [wicked] modern so-called “Christianity”, is fake news.
I especially enjoyed EDW’s recent commentary on the Southern Baptist Convention’s failure to follow the explicit and obvious command in the Bible of men-only pastors:
SBC Elites Celebrate Tolerance Of Female Pastors
Bane once said, “They expect one of us in the wreckage, brother.” that is exactly what was said to FBC Alexandria as thousands voted to kick them out of the Southern Baptist Convention while also voting against a ban on female pastors. FBC Alexandria was not booted from the Southern Baptist Convention for having female pastors but for being too open about having female pastors. FBC Alexandria is at least being honest, which is more than can be said about Brent Leatherwood’s church, Jonathan Howes’s church, and many other SBC elites.
Last week, SBC elites took a victory lap in the form of a Baptist Press article titled, “Doctrinal fidelity without methodological conformity.” The article openly admits that female pastors exist in the SBC and that it’s a good thing.
[…]
The vote of the Law Amendment revealed that Southern Baptists are not actually united on the issue of female pastors given their refusal to ban them. Nevertheless, female pastors in the SBC are celebrated by elites under the guise of church autonomy and reducing a proxy issue of Scripture’s authority to a tertiary issue.
[…]
The elites in the SBC are theological liberals, especially on the issue of female pastors. Thus, they pulled out all the stops to protect them in the SBC.
Every church denomination out there is facing overwhelming heresy in their churches, and baptists such as myself are no exception.
It’s refreshing to have a few news sources that recognize this and are pushing back against it. Otherwise, you just end up isolated and engulfed in modernity’s version of these events.
So, enjoy them. Hopefully, you will find use in them as I have.

Cash Is King…Until It’s Banned
A [Now] Outdated Saying: Cash Is King
Call it what you want: ‘Central Bank Digital Currency’, ‘The Digital Dollar’, or ‘The Mark of the Beast’, it’s probably all going to be the same thing in the end.
I wrote about this Digital Dollar years ago. For the past two years, we continue to make small but increasingly obvious steps in that direction.
One way they are now doing this is by pricing out cash:
Want to Pay Cash? That’ll Cost You Extra
From ballpark hot dogs to parking tickets, more cash payments are coming with a fee
When Noa Khamallah recently tried to pay cash for popcorn and soda at Yankee Stadium, his almighty dollars struck out.
The stadium’s concession stands no longer take cash. An employee directed him to a kiosk that could convert his greenbacks into plastic. Khamallah, 41 years old, fed $200 into the reverse ATM, which subtracted a $3.50 fee and spat out a debit card with a balance of $196.50.
Paying for anything in New York is expensive already, said Khamallah, who lives in the city. “If you add on top of that extra fees for being able to pay for food, that’s not right,” he said.
Paying with cash used to be a way to get a discount. These days it can often cost an extra $1 to $6—the sort of transaction fees once limited to swiping a credit card or using an out-of-network ATM.
[…]
I personally just had a run-in with this a couple of weeks ago. Went to a farmer’s market in a nearby major city and they had signs everywhere saying “Cash not accepted” and “No cash on hand”. I was completely taken aback considering it was a farmer’s market, but apparently upon talking to some of the locals, the organizers decided to put this into practice because the stands were getting robbed, so it was “safer” to only use credit card swipes.
I don’t buy their excuse, but I also don’t doubt that they are getting robbed. It’s crazy how far our cities have been allowed to fall. But that’s probably a part of the plan, to increase the demand for digital dollars instead of physical cash.
If it is already happening at farmer’s markets, it’s going to show up everywhere. You all know that.
They’ll probably be a day in our lifetimes when stores won’t even accept paper money when our elites force the switch to the digital dollar. All of our hoarded Ben Franklins will be as worthless for transactions as gold was when the government banned it in 1933 by Executive Order 6102.
We’re all slowly being herded into the slaughterhouse, and hilariously the justification is because “it’s safer”. What an ironic comedy.

Israel-Lebanon War: Coming Soon To A Livestream Near You
Another Israel-Lebanon War Incoming
Well, it won’t be long now:
And:
The Israelis could always use Oct 7 to argue self-defense and a self-proclaimed ‘righteous’ position (whether rightly or wrongly is irrelevant), but that argument simply does not apply with Lebanon. If they invade, they are clearly the aggressor. No more moral charades.
Still, I’m ecstatic to hear the mental gymnastics that the Zionists and their Evangelical friends will use to justify this one. Can they somehow make October 7 apply to a completely different land and people distinct from Hamas?
I’m sure they will try. I guess Hezbollah also starts with the letter ‘H’, so most Americans won’t notice a difference, anyway.
Oct 7 always was a great pretext to get the larger regional war started, which was the plan. Because we all know if Hezbollah is hit, Syria/Iraq/Iran/Yemen will certainly be more than happy to join in more earnestly. Hezbollah is not an opponent that can be steamrolled as easily as Hamas, so the IDF will struggle to fight them, especially once the other parties supply Hezbollah with equipment and support.
The Israelis must be real confident that the United States is going to assist in their little Greater Israel plan through a greater Israel-Lebanon war. Otherwise, this is simply suicidal. It makes no sense to the rational mind. They must expect us to help.
Listen, I would love to be one of those guys that just throws their hands up and says “I’m American, I don’t care about the Middle East. It’s not my problem”. But guess what? We’re a nation run by these Zionists. If something happens over there, it is going to affect us. Pretending that it is not the case is doing none of us any favors. If Israel decides to take us into a collective hell, our boys here at home will be forced to march with them. And that IS our problem. I don’t want our guys dying for the wicked Zionist dream. So we need to be speaking out against this.
If Israel invades, they are the aggressor. They are the immoral party. Give no support for those that want to drag our boys into another Middle East debacle.
In a normal world, yes, we could just ignore the Middle East entirely and let them destroy each other. But we’re not in a normal world, we’re in clown world. And in clown world, every leader of ours is a Zionist. So we have to respond appropriately and by being honest with ourselves.
Israel is hellbent on starting World War 3, and they are not looking to keep us out of it. Never forget that.

Immigration And Sexual Crime
Sexual Crime: German Natives Versus Foreign Born
Different day, same story.
Time after time and country after country exhibit the exact same pattern:
As it turns out, immigrants don’t make Germany so great after all, they just increase Germany’s gang rape statistics.
The reality is that to be pro-foreigner is to be anti-white, because the foreigners inevitably hurt our own people.
It’s not a “culture” problem… it’s a race problem.
Always was and always will be.

Useful Christian Resources
Compilation Of Christian Resources
Just wanted to share some of the Christian resources that I have used in the past for any of my Christian readers. This is an updated list from my last article, so I am republishing it.
I lean (not reformed) baptist, so this list will reflect that position. Fair warning.
If you are a new follower of Christ, just get a Bible and find a local church. You don’t need all of these yet.
I hope these help you learn more and connect with God further.
Christian Resource Options
When studying the Bible, having the right tools are helpful. Several tools and apps are indispensable for this purpose. A Bible dictionary, concordance, laws, and maps can provide essential context and insights into scripture. Find ones you like online; most are free. For quick verse comparisons, Bible Gateway is a valuable tool. The Bible App offers a user-friendly way for reading and studying the Bible on the go. Another highly recommended tool is the e-Sword Bible Study App, which can be immensely powerful in the right hands.
Online commentaries are also helpful for deeper exploration of biblical texts. The Kretzmann Project is currently a preferred choice, offering insightful commentary (even though it is Lutheran, which I am not). EnduringWord provides acceptable commentary, although it includes many modernist interpretations. BibleRef is another option, though it’s not yet complete, the available books are quite decent. However, it is important not to rely solely on commentaries for your reading. Use them with caution and discernment to supplement your own study.
For those interested in structured learning, there are several excellent courses and educational resources available. The BibleProject offers engaging video overviews of Bible books, making complex themes more accessible. Insight provides well-written overviews that can guide your study. The Gospel Coalition offers a variety of courses that delve into different aspects of theology and biblical studies. Our Daily Bread University provides courses that are suitable for learners at different levels. For answering specific questions, GotQuestions is a reliable resource. (These are acceptable for the most part. As with anything in our post-Enlightenment age, be prepared to engage with some modernist interpretations on certain things).
For baptist sermons from the NIFB, I recommend the following: All The Preaching, Faithful Word, Stedfast Baptist, Mountain Baptist, Verity Baptist
For theology, see the following: The early church fathers laid the groundwork for Christian theology. Key texts include the Didache, one of the earliest Christian documents, which offers insights into early Christian ethics, rituals, and church organization. Athanasius is known for his defense of Trinitarianism against Arianism, particularly through his work “On the Incarnation”. The Shepherd of Hermas, a Christian literary work, is considered valuable for its teachings on penance and discipline. Polycarp’s writings, including letters and martyrdom accounts, provide a glimpse into early Christian life and beliefs. Additionally, Tertullian’s Apology stands out as a defense of Christianity against Roman paganism and serves as a key text in early Christian apologetics.
I also recommend a thorough review of the Creeds: Creeds have been pivotal in defining core Christian beliefs. Important ones include the Apostles’ Creed, a succinct summary of apostolic teachings, and the Nicene Creed, established at the First Council of Nicaea, which affirms the consubstantiality of the Son with the Father. The Athanasian Creed emphasizes the Trinity and the Incarnation, further clarifying essential Christian doctrines.
Theological works are also useful for when you are ready to dive deeper: Several theological works are essential for a deep understanding of Christian thought. The “Confessions of St. Augustine” is a profound autobiographical work detailing Augustine’s sinful youth and conversion to Christianity. The “Summa Theologica” by St. Thomas Aquinas is a comprehensive compendium of Catholic doctrine, addressing theology, philosophy, and ethics. “Institutes of the Christian Religion” by John Calvin, though controversial, is foundational for understanding Reformed theology. “The Book of Concord” is essential for understanding Lutheran doctrine, even for those who are not Lutheran. Lastly, “The Case for Christian Nationalism” explores the intersection of Christianity and national identity.
If visuals are more your thing: Visual media can be a powerful tool for understanding and sharing faith. “The Jesus Film” is a depiction of the life of Jesus Christ, widely used for evangelism. My NIFB crowd has like 47 documentary films which provide over 30 hours of content from the New Independent Fundamental Baptist movement. It’s easy to find with a quick search. “The Case for Christ” documentary, based on Lee Strobel’s book, explores the historical evidence for Jesus. The “American Gospel” film series critically examines the prosperity gospel and emphasizes the core message of the Gospel.
A variety of other random resources can provide unique insights and tools for personal growth and study. My list of Top Bible Verses is a curated list of my most impactful Bible verses. Various free magazines offer theological insights, personal stories, and practical advice. The Bible Family Tree provides a visual representation of genealogies in the Bible. Berean Patriot’s study on the deity of Christ offers an in-depth affirmation of Christ’s divinity. A compilation of Old Testament prophecies fulfilled by Jesus, the Jesus OT Fulfillment List, is another useful resource. Additionally, Redeemed Zoomer, a Christian YouTuber, discusses faith and culture in an engaging manner.
As a random sidenote, I am a fan of the apocrypha. I don’t consider it Scripture, but it is fascinating to study. For those interested in Apocryphal literature, several resources are invaluable. The NRSVUE (with Apocrypha) is a comprehensive version of the Bible that includes Apocryphal books. Biblewise Commentary provides context and explanations for Apocryphal texts. Theology Pathfinder offers summaries of theological works, including Apocryphal books. Blue Letter Bible also provides summaries and commentaries on various books, including Apocryphal texts. Finally, “The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha” is a favorite book set that offers insights into Jewish writings from the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
If you’re looking for a church, I wish you good luck. It is getting harder and harder to find a decent church. Most are completely lost. But a solid group of real Christians is a massive blessing. In my semi-rural area, I had only two decent options within a large driving radius (~50 miles). If I wanted a church headed by a woman, hordes of mask-wearers, a lesbian married to a transgender (not hyperbole), or a church preaching heresy, it would have been a lot easier. I personally only had luck with baptist churches. But your area may be different.
Final Thoughts
Be careful with all modern tools. Most are getting very soft in the modern era. Even places that claim to be “old-fashioned” or “traditional” are can be a hit or a miss. Many times they are “traditional” as in one hundred years ago, which was also wrong: The Radical Christian Degeneration Of The 1800s. So it’s not always great to be old-fashioned if that time period was also in error.
Still, overall, these resources can greatly enhance your Bible study experience, providing valuable insights, comprehensive overviews, and answers to specific questions, helping you grow in your knowledge and understanding of scripture.
I may not agree with all of these theologically (in fact, some I vehemently disagree with), but I have found them helpful in my personal spiritual development. Hopefully, they can do the same for you.
If you have any others that you use, please feel free to put them in the comments. I am always looking to expand my resource list.
Cheers.

State-Mandated Religion: Leftist Fears Versus Reality
State-Mandated Religion: Christianity Or Leftism
Leftists are terrified of Christians enforcing a proper morality on society.
Yet, they seem to have missed the fact that our society already has a state-mandated religion, it’s just not a Christian one:
The leftist is not truly against a state-mandated religion/morality/worldview—They just don’t want it to be the True one.
For a society to exist, it must have a state-mandated morality. That morality is captured through the laws of the society. It’s the very cultural essence of a society.
Our leftist elites just pretend it does not exist, even though they are the priests of such a religion.
The anarchists, libertarians, and leftists do not like to admit it, but there is no escaping a state-enforced “religion”. We always have and always will have one. It is required for a state to exist.
We once used Christianity in this country. Now we use the leftist egalitarian-Enlightenment religion.
There is no condition where a society exists without a consensual moral foundation built upon a system of belief. Call it what you want: Religion, Globohomo, or “philosophy”, I don’t care. It all serves the same function and acts as a religion for the masses. It becomes a religion to its adherents.
Thus, we can use the Christian religion, or we can use the leftist, BLM kneeling, homo-worshipping, white-person hating, one.
You choose.
