    Biden plans to resume Obama’s war on Christianity: Dem memo declares white Christians country’s foremost “national security threat”

    (
    Natural News) Democrat Joe Biden’s message of wanting to ‘unify our divided country’ suffered another credibility blow in the wake of a newly uncovered Democratic memo that warns two-thirds of our country is a bigger threat than China, Russia, Iran and North Korea combined. A report prepared especially for the (potentially) incoming … [Read More...]

    News from North of the border.
    Yesterday evening, all six of the elders of Trinity Bible Chapel were charged under Section 10.1 of the Reopening Ontario Act (ROA) for holding church services on Sunday, December 27. We are peaceful family men seeking to pastorally care for our families and our church in sincere obedience to God. We are not criminals. Officers from the Waterloo Region Police Service (WRPS) showed up at each of our homes last night at roughly 8pm and gave us each a summons to court. While other pastors in Ontario have faced similar charges under the ROA for holding church services, to our knowledge this is the first time that each and every member of an entire elders board has been charged for gathering a church to worship. Although we know of officers within the WRPS who personally disagree with these charges, it appears the WRPS is trying to make an example of us. For years we have taught our children to respect police, and now our children and grandchildren are witness to their fathers and grandfathers receiving charges from police for worshipping Christ with our church. It is a dark day for Waterloo Region and Ontario.
    Since we decided to re-open the church in June, implementing various COVID protocols in our services, we have not had a single outbreak traced back to our church. We thank God for that. Instead, we have heard a plethora of stories from many of our congregants about how they were negatively affected spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and financially during the first lockdown. On December 3, we informed our governing authorities that we cannot shut down the church again in an open letter entitled, “Here we Stand: The Church Must Meet.”[1] Not one of our officials replied with an attempt to work with us. Our church community has become a vital refuge for hundreds of people during these times of despair. Our government is destroying our society to prevent the spread of a virus with a fraction of a fractional death rate.[2] This is evil. Nowhere does the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantee freedom from risk or virus, but it does protect the freedom of conscience, religion, belief, and assembly.[3] These are unlawful laws, a violation of God given rights, a contravention of Section 176 of the Criminal Code, and an infringement of the Charter.
    We have ancestors who fought in wars to protect us from state abuses of this nature, and many of our families fled police states that eerily resemble what we are being subjected to at the present. Our high school teachers, parents, and grandparents warned us against governments that act this way.
    While we seek to honour and pray for our governing officials, we are also grieved over the apparent hypocrisy and arbitrary applications of law. Several politicians have been caught violating their own laws by visiting cottages, hosting gatherings, or jaunting to warmer climates. Our very own Chief of Police, Brian Larkin, publicly endorsed much larger public gatherings in June. While Ontarians were restricted to outdoor gatherings of 5 or less persons, the Chief of Police offered the “full support” to a protest in which the “crowd may have been between 12,000 and 20,000 strong.”[4] Chief Larkin explained to participants, even as they contravened lockdown orders, that police “will ensure you have the support needed to practice your democratic right and have your voice heard.”[5] The arbitrary rule of law is dangerous even as it is contrary to our inherited values.
    Our Saviour shed His blood to purchase the church, and therefore deeming the church “unessential” is tantamount to deeming the blood of Christ unessential, which is a public act of blasphemy.
    Yes it is of course blasphemous, what they’re doing. Jesus is Lord. The state must bow to king Jesus.
    But while I don’t take issue with this pastor’s heart, I think he may misunderstand things. When the state declares you a criminal, you’re a criminal. Embrace it. You’re a peaceable man, and maybe that’s what you mean. But you’re now a criminal.
    Be a criminal for Christ. I’ve said before that pastors who defy the state must be ready to put his hands behind his back, be cuffed, and sent to prison. Either that or fight back.
    This tactic represents the next step in statism. It isn’t just the church, administratively, or corporately. The church isn’t just fined, or doors nailed shut. They are going after Christians individually and personally.
    Be prepared. They are engaged in warfare against you.

    A Nation Tuned to the Station of Freedom (frc.org)


    For most Americans, there hasn't really been time to stop and process what happened at the Capitol last Wednesday. Instead, we're just trying to survive, fighting off daily waves of crackdown and retribution -- punishment for a crime the vast majority of conservatives didn't commit or condone. The people in power, the same ones who called the summer riots "the American Way," are coming for our rights, our speech, even our livelihoods. Who will be left standing? If history is any indication -- we will.


    Right now, it's a little hard to see beyond the present crisis, but our country has been at similar crisis points before. A generation who's been robbed of the privilege of learning history can't look backward -- but if they could, they'd see that when our voice is threatened, the church always finds a way to respond. That doesn't mean the next two years will be easy. What we're witnessing in this moment may be the most dangerous corporate-political alignment this nation has ever seen. "Silencing, blacklists, social credit scores, threats..." We've woken up to an American where you support the wrong political ideology and suddenly, Tucker Carlson shakes his head, "you can't communicate, and you have no legal representation, and you can't fly in an airplane, and you can't put your money in a bank."


    But the beauty of the American system is that we have the ability to correct this. In fact, that's our nation's story: the great obstacles and the greater comebacks. Our movement is a vital part of that. We can shrink back and wait for our powerlines to be cut or we can use the weapons we have: the airwaves, our broadcast booths, and any other means for getting our message out. Religious broadcasters still have reason to be concerned, attorney Craig Parshall agreed on "Washington Watch." But this isn't the first time an army of the Left has tried to cut off our microphones.


    It wasn't that long ago, Craig reminded everyone, that Bill Clinton tried to get a federal agency to create a definition of "hate speech" that they could use to shut down certain radio and television broadcasters. Of course, that fell flat when the agency, after about a year of work and public money, couldn't come up with an accurate definition of the term. Then, Barack Obama took a crack at it with the FCC, floating the idea of local commissions that could enforce "community standards" and decide if content was appropriate. "That failed to gain traction," Craig explains, "but it was threatened."


    For decades, liberals have tried to crack down on religious and conservative talk. We're seeing it right now with Mark Levin. Cumulus Media is demanding that its host stop talking about a "stolen election." "If you transgress this policy," its memo warned, "you can expect to separate from the company immediately." This same thing happened back in the communist era of the 1950s. People who wanted to preach the good news banded together, and look at the result! There's more Christian programming out there today than there was 40 or 50 years ago when it was attacked. Obviously, there are bullies out there who think they can stop the truth or the gospel from going out. But I've got news for them: they never win.


    Look at what happened with the Fairness Doctrine. It was entirely dismantled under the Reagan administration -- and conservative talk flourished. Why? Because it goes to the heart of the American people who share these traditional values. "You just [have to] wonder," Craig said, "what is the motivation for not having an open marketplace of lawful ideas?" And the answer is, the far-Left can't compete with those ideas. So they want their opponents cowed, humiliated, and muted. "We've been marked as the enemy, because we oppose the idea that the state is superior to God... But there are those who believe that they have a better plan -- and they [think] that we are better off under their soft totalitarian hand than we are with liberty."


    At the end of the day, we need to keep doing what we've been doing, regardless of how they mischaracterize us and our intentions. The battles are going to come -- they always do -- but we have to be just as resolute and unyielding. We're going to continue to speak the truth in love, seek the face of God and His power, and rely on his strength to sustain us in what is going to be a very challenging chapter in the history of our country.


    "The Great Commission is called 'great' for a reason," Craig insisted. "When the apostle Peter got arrested, unlawfully dragged in before the council in Jerusalem, he said, 'Look, you can do whatever you want to with me, but I can't stop talking about what I have seen and heard in terms of the Savior, because I walk with him. We have the same commission today." And that's the determination the church needs right now. No matter what the other side does to us, no matter what they call us, we're not going to be quiet.
    John 14:6 New Living Translation (NLT)

    6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
