Why Are Churches Celebrating Sin?

Affirming sin is not the same as forgiving it.

There’s a lot to celebrate in Christian worship services. Singing hymns, prayers, and learning God’s Word are all part of corporate worship, and I happily participate in that. I also participate in confession.

The Protestant tradition involves both a public and silent confession of sins. It’s an acknowledgment that we are sinful by nature, and have sinned by thought, word, and deed. Through this confession and our earnest repentance, we seek and receive forgiveness through God’s grace.

I sin every single day. I don’t like that I sin but as a member of the human race, it is an inescapable truth with which we’re stuck. As the apostle Paul wrote to Christians in Rome, “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” That includes me.

Rational people can agree that sin is bad, and I do not embrace my sin; I confess it and seek forgiveness. Jesus Christ said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him,” so I reject any celebration of my sin.

But not all sins are treated equally. Increasingly, Protestant churches are celebrating sin through the installation of ministers whose behavior promotes LGBTQ ideology.

Consider this February 15th report whose headline heralds the “First openly transgender pastor called to guide Lutheran church in North Dakota.”

The pastor’s installation was unanimously approved by the congregation of the church, which has reportedly hosted town hall meetings to discuss, among other things, whether people should be forced to deny reality by calling women men, and vice versa; and whether children should be protected from genital mutilation. One can only speculate as to how those discussions will be steered.

The article goes on to quote the new pastor saying “Historically the church hasn’t been kind to transgender people. A lot of churches still aren’t kind to transgender people.” I do not know how the pastor defines what is kind or unkind but I do know that historically, the church has believed in the word of God as written in the Bible. A lot of churches still believe what is written in the Bible.

The behavior that defines LGBTQ ideology is sinful. That’s not my assessment, that’s what Christ said. He laid it out in the Gospel of Mark when He said, “Out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

Affirming and celebrating the behavior of LGBTQ adherents raises a question for Christians: If we’re going to celebrate this sin, what other sins are we prepared to celebrate? That’s a scary proposition and it’s already happening.

The sin of murder is celebrated through the increase of euthanasia. The sin of theft is celebrated through prosecutors who have decriminalized it through their failure to prosecute. The sins of coveting, envy, and deceit are celebrated through Critical Race Theory. The sin of slander is celebrated hourly on cable news channels.

Components of Critical Race Theory are even creeping into conservative parishes today. Whether this portends churches celebrating the sins of CRT’s advocacy for race hatred or its alignment with Marxist ideology remains to be seen.

We all sin, and through confession, repentance, and grace, God forgives us. We are also called to forgive those who sin against us. Whether these are sins of sexual immorality, envy, theft, or anything else, our duty is to forgive others as God forgives us.

But forgiving sin is not the same as affirming it.

The Bible instructs us to love one another but it also tells us to abhor that which is evil. None of my sins should be celebrated; they should be abhorred. If any pastor in the pulpit affirmed or celebrated my sins, I would walk out in the middle of that sermon and find a better church. But more churches are celebrating more sins, and it’s a colossal moral and civic hazard.

If the North Dakota pastor has been harassed, threatened, assaulted, or otherwise treated unkindly, that is flat-out wrong. Likewise, the pastor is entitled to the full enjoyment of and participation in American civic life, and I would demand that any effort to prevent the free exercise of these rights be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

But it is not unkind to believe what the Bible says. It is not unkind to call a sin a sin. It is not unkind to notice reality and natural law. These are normal behaviors. Just as I reject any affirmation of my sin, I reject any attempt to deny that which is normal and in accordance with Scripture.

In many cultures across time and space, the church has provided the moral bedrock of society. When churches celebrate sin, that bedrock crumbles and over time, so do the societies built upon it.

Iran Will Be Getting 24 Top-of-the-Line Russian Fighter Jets

IRAN SU-35S ACQUISITION MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE WEST PERCEIVES

Shocking! Iran able to house advanced Russian jets in an underground base

Grateful to Iran for supplying it with 1,450 armed drones, Russia has returned the favor. Iran has announced that Moscow intends to supply Iran with 24 Su-35s, which is one of Russia’s most advanced fighter jets. Until now, Iran has had to make do with the American planes left over from the Shah’s reign, an aging fleet, difficult to keep flying because it is hard for Iran to get spare parts, or to cannibalize them from the planes it has. These planes and their pilots t would be no match for the planes flown by Israeli pilots. More on these Russian jets and Iran’s underground airbase can be found here: “Iran Set to Upgrade Fighter Fleet with ‘State-of-Art’ Russian Jet,” i24 News, February 18, 2023:

Iran appears assured of soon receiving a shipment of one of Russia’s most advanced fighter jets, which would mark the most significant upgrade in decades to the Islamic Republic’s aging fleet, the New York Times reported on Saturday {Feb. 18].

In the past few months, Iranian officials publicly touted the purchase of 24 Su-35s, a state-of-the-art military jet produced by Russia, including in propaganda materials showcasing a new underground Air Force base called “Eagle 44.” The NYT report was based on digital analysis of one such propaganda video by a former US government imagery analyst, as well as on analysis of satellite imagery.

It’s quite a feat to build an underground air base. Iran has plenty of experience in building facilities deep underground. It was forced to do so because of Israel’s highly successful campaign at destroying above-ground nuclear facilities, including those where centrifuges were built to enrich uranium to close to weapons-grade purity. The Iranians built their most recent nuclear facilities deep underground at Natanz, and deep inside a mountain at Fordow. But an air base capable of holding two dozen large fighter jets, with enough space for them to safely maneuver without hitting other planes, must be enormous.

The report concluded that the base had a mockup of the Su-35 jet, apparently to make sure that the base is ready for the reception of the real artifact. “These are likely being used in assessing clearances for maneuvering the aircraft throughout the underground facility and could suggest they’ll be based here,” according to the analyst cited by NYT.

Regime media said the Eagle 44 base was one of the country’s most important military facilities, and would soon be home to fighter jets equipped with long-range cruise missiles.

This comes amid heightened western and Israeli concerns over the deepening two-way military cooperation between Iran and Russia, and its implications for the security and stability of eastern Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. Another area of concern is Iran’s nuclear escalation and Tehran’s lack of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The cooperation included Iranian manufacturers supplying Russia with drones used to attack Ukraine’s infrastructure.

The Iranian drones are used by the Russians primarily to hit civilian targets in Ukrainian cities. The Ukrainians were naturally grateful when the Israelis destroyed an Iranian drone manufacturing plant near Isfahan in January. And the Israelis were glad to take out a plant making weapons that have been so effective against Ukraine. For many months, the Ukrainians have been imploring Israel to send them its anti-missile defense systems, including the incredibly successful Iron Dome. Israel has been unwilling to comply because Russia has made clear that if Israel were to supply such weapons to Kyiv, Moscow’s “deconfliction” agreement with Israel in Syria, whereby Russia has been allowing Israeli pilots the freedom to attack Iranian and Hezbollah bases at will, would come to an end. Though the Israelis have sent hundreds of tons of humanitarian aid, as well as set up and staffed a field hospital, they have made clear that while they support Ukraine, they cannot supply the kind of weaponry Ukraine has requested, including all offensive weapons as well as the Iron Dome anti-missile system. Supplying Ukraine with such weapons, Israel fears, would trigger Russian reprisals in the Syrian theatre. The Russians would no longer allow Israeli planes the freedom to bomb Iranian and Hezbollah sites at will.

“What’s beginning to emerge is at least the beginnings of a full-fledged defense partnership between Russia and Iran, with the Iranians supplying drones to the Russians, which are killing Ukrainian civilians as we speak today, and the Russians beginning to look at ways in which, technologically or technically, they can support the Iranians,” CIA Director William Burns said in September.

What is not known is how deep underground the Eagle-44 air base has been built. If it is deep enough, Israel will be unable to destroy it with the ordnance that the IAF currently possesses. But just as Russia is helping its ally Iran by supplying it with SU-35 fighter jets, America should be helping its ally Israel by supplying the wherewithal for Israel to destroy that Eagle-44 underground airbase, along with those top-of-the-line Russian jets parked inside that base. That means the U.S. should be willing, after years of turning down requests from Jerusalem, to supply it with what will be for Israel the most important weapon in its arsenal. That weapon is the T GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), which is a precision-guided, 30,000-pound (14,000 kg) “bunker buster” bomb used by the United States Air Force. It is this bomb, or perhaps several of them, that will enable the Israelis to destroy Iran’s underground air base Eagle-44 and its fleet of two dozen Russian Su-35 fighter jets.

Israel will do the heavy lifting. It will carry out the attack on the underground airbase by itself. But it needs those 30,000 pound MOPs that only the Americans can supply. Don’t hold back, Washington. Do the right thing.

FORMER MARYLAND GOVERNOR: 2024 GOP Fantasist Hogan Says Opposing Trans Propaganda in Schools Is ‘Authoritarian’

2024 GOP Fantasist Hogan Says Opposing Trans Propaganda in Schools Is ‘Authoritarian’

Is there no end to the supply of ostensible Republicans who do nothing but echo the Left’s talking points and fall into line as Leftists set the nation’s political and cultural agenda? Abe Lincoln once observed that “God must love the common man, He made so many of them,” and He must love controlled opposition RINOs even more because the nation is positively inundated with them.

One of the latest claimants to be the chief rhino, er, RINO, is former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who actually seems to believe that he has a chance to be the Republican nominee for president of the United States in 2024. If he turns out to be right, we’re in even worse trouble than we already appear to be.

On NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, Hogan was asked about DeSantis’ Parental Rights in Education bill, which attempts to counter the gender madness that is now being forced upon children at the earliest ages by forbidding teachers to engage in instruction about sexual orientation and identity in “a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate” for children in kindergarten and older.

As DeSantis himself said, he pushed for this in order both to protect children and to safeguard the rights of parents to raise their children without having them indoctrinated by woke gender-queer groomers: “This is inappropriate,” DeSantis said sensibly, “for kindergarteners and first graders and second graders, parents do not want this going on in their schools.”

But Larry Hogan would have us believe that this practically made Ron DeSantis into Barack Obama. “I’m a small government, common sense conservative,” he claimed risibly on Sunday, “and to me, it sounds like big government and authoritarian, ‘You have to agree with me, and I’ll tell you what you can and can’t do.’ But it’s an issue. It’s not the most important issue. Most people are worried about the economy, and inflation, and they’re concerned about crime, but education is one of the things that we’ve got to talk about.” Yes indeed. But protecting the rights of parents to raise their own children is now “big government”? As Old Joe Biden, the man Hogan thinks he has a chance to replace, would say, “Come on, man!”

Predictably, Hogan was raked over the coals for his ridiculous statement. One Twitter user observed: “Republicans like Larry Hogan use ‘small government’ as an excuse for inaction. Perverts teaching kindergarteners about sex? Big Tech censorship? Corporations outsourcing jobs from middle-America? Can’t do anything … small government.” Mark Hemingway of RealClearInvestigations quipped: “Yes, not wanting your grade school kids taught gender ideology that everyone agreed was insane 15 minutes ago means you’re in favor of ‘big government.’ Go ahead and campaign on that, Larry.”

Jordan Boyd wrote in The Federalist: “Hogan clearly has a flawed understanding of the role of elected leaders. Their purpose, according to the U.S. Constitution, is not to restrain the people but the government, so citizens can flourish under their God-given rights.” Patriot activist Vivek Ramaswamy noted the tiredness of Hogan’s “small government” rhetoric, tweeting: “It’s painful to watch Republicans recite tired slogans they memorized in 1980. The thing that made Reagan cool was he stood up to the orthodoxies of his time without fear. Sadly his disciples today think they honor him by parroting what he said, instead of thinking independently.”

That’s not to say that the concept of small government is tired; it is needed more than ever. But to enable the far-Left agenda on the grounds that to oppose it would be a “big government” involves a failure of analysis so catastrophic as to disqualify Larry Hogan from ever again holding elected office at any level.

What is Larry Hogan’s game in so eagerly falling into line with the Left’s most heinously destructive agenda? Is he really so caught up in the Beltway bubble that he thinks doing so will give him a chance to be president? Or is he running for vice president, or playing a different game altogether? Another Twitter user summed up what is most likely Hogan’s game: “Larry Hogan gonna run the ‘say stuff liberals like so they give my GOP campaign money’ campaign. Then gets 2%, drop out after the 4th primary, and uses the leftover money to fund a PAC of some variety that pays him a handsome salary. He knows exactly what he’s doing.” That’s more plausible than anything Larry Hogan himself said.

Biden Orders Installation of Equity Czars for Every Federal Agency

BY DAVID KELLY

Late last week President Biden expanded upon his original “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government” executive order because, according to the White House, “members of underserved communities — many of whom have endured generations of discrimination and disinvestment — still confront significant barriers to realizing the full promise of our great Nation, and the Federal Government has a responsibility to remove these barriers.” 

Biden stated that in seeking racial equity the process is “not a one-time project,” as it will be a “multi-generational commitment, and it must remain the responsibility of agencies across the Federal Government.” He added that it “continues to be the policy of my Administration to advance an ambitious, whole-of-government approach to racial equity.” 

The order gives federal agency heads 30 days to establish “Agency Equity Teams” that will “coordinate the implementation of equity initiatives and ensure that their respective agencies are delivering equitable outcomes for the American people.” The equitable outcomes will be based on supporting “ongoing implementation of a comprehensive equity strategy that uses the agency’s policy, budgetary, programmatic, service-delivery, procurement, data-collection processes, grantmaking, public engagement, research and evaluation, and regulatory functions to enable the agency’s mission and service delivery to yield equitable outcomes for all Americans, including underserved communities.” 

In other words, Biden is installing equity czars in every federal agency to enforce his administration’s diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. As America First Legal Foundation (AFL) says, “without any Congressional authorization, Biden has ordered a radical, racist, and fundamentally anti-American overhaul of every federal function under the guise of equity.” 

The Gateway Pundit shared that “Joe Biden has appointed Susan Rice to be the chair of the new ‘White House Steering Committee on Equity’ to conduct a sweeping ‘racial equity’ progressive makeover of the federal government with the establishment of ‘Agency Equity Teams’ in all departments that answer to Rice.” 

Ambassador Susan E. Rice is in a powerful position as Biden’s domestic policy advisor. Her White House about page describes her role, stating that “as Director of the Domestic Policy Council, she drives the formulation and implementation of President Biden’s domestic policy agenda, from economic mobility and racial equity to health care and immigration.” 

The AFL has vowed to fight the executive order with “relentless opposition,” criticizing the “poisonous equity agenda” of the administration. AFL President Stephen Miller said in a press release, “With the stroke of a pen, Biden has transformed the entire federal government into a DEI cult — putting equity czars inside virtually every single agency of the executive branch and subordinating every department to the Marxist equity agenda. Every previous law and regulation must now be reinterpreted to ensure racial and gender equity: in other words, to achieve a predetermined racial or gender identity outcome even if it requires ruthless discrimination against American citizens.” 

Miller continued, stating, “The most extreme excesses of the radical woke college campus have just been transported into, and embedded within, every function of the federal government — in an attempt to supplant the actual laws and Constitution of the United States in order to punish and exclude Americans based on their race, ancestry, and gender.” He added that Ambassador Rice “will be leading a White House equity committee to ensure no government activity is left untouched by Biden’s DEI takeover of the government.” 

“Make no mistake — these efforts to incorporate ‘equity’ are radical. For example, one component of the Executive Order directs all agencies to ‘facilitate equitable flows of private capital’ when dealing with development in urban areas,” said the Gateway Pundit. 

Biden’s orders, according to AFL, “will completely remake government in the image of the ultra-woke ultra-radical left…. Workers will be retrained and re-educated. Policies will be redrawn and redesigned. Benefits will be redirected and reoriented, all according to the Marxist equity czars and their taskmasters in the White House.” 

Agency Equity Teams will be established at the following departments and agencies: 

The Department of State 

The Department of the Treasury 

The Department of Defense 

The Department of Justice 

The Department of the Interior 

The Department of Agriculture 

The Department of Commerce 

The Department of Labor 

The Department of Health and Human Services 

The Department of Housing and Urban Development 

The Department of Transportation 

The Department of Energy 

The Department of Education 

The Department of Veterans Affairs 

The Department of Homeland Security 

The Small Business Administration 

The Social Security Administration 

The General Services Administration 

The Environmental Protection Agency 

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration 

The National Science Foundation 

The Office of Personnel Management 

Gene Hamilton, AFL vice president, and general counsel said, “Apparently under the delusion that they have solved every major problem facing each agency in the federal government — and with no authorization from Congress to do so — the Biden Administration is embarking on a whole scale reform of the federal government under the guise of ‘equity.’ The Biden Administration is clearly committed to radically reshaping the federal government to advance its ideological goals, and we are clearly committed to exposing and stopping their illegal efforts at every turn.”

“Rage Against the War Machine” Rally Held in D.C.

Hours before Joe Biden sneaked out of the country to war-torn Kyiv hundreds of protesters gathered in Washington, D.C. Sunday for the “Rage Against the War Machine” rally.

The anti-war event held at the Lincoln Memorial marked almost one year since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine which quickly evolved into a proxy war between NATO and Russia. The speakers were represented by affluent public figures, journalists, artists, and former politicians, including a couple of presidential candidates.

Participants’ key demands included effectively ending military support for Ukraine, facilitating peace talks, reducing the Pentagon budget in favor of addressing numerous domestic issues, disbanding NATO, closing all foreign military bases, refusing interventionism, and dismantling the CIA and military-industrial deep state that thrives on war.

The event was largely perceived as pro-Russian. “A large anti-Ukraine war rally will take place in Washington, DC on Sunday,” posted Fox News, among others. To clarify that such labeling was incorrect, the Libertarian Party, one of the main organizers, had to put up a statement that it was not a pro-Russian event:

Let us be clear.
We oppose all wars.
We oppose all states who initiate them.
We are not pro-Putin. We are not pro-Russia.
We oppose Russia’s invasion and any initiation of force.

Speaking with The New American, Angela McArdle, the chairwoman of the Libertarian National Committee, stressed that they did not support Russian President Vladimir Putin but tried to educate people about the underlying causes of war and to build a powerful and unifying pro-peace movement.

Still, several attendees were waving Russian flags, and a couple brought red Soviet banners with hammers and sickles.

The sentiment toward Ukraine seemed to distinguish between the Zelensky administration and everyday Ukrainians. The first was accused of being “infiltrated by Nazis,” and the latter was correctly said to be the foremost victim of the ongoing war. Not a single Ukrainian flag was in sight. According to the Daily Beast, some Ukrainians saw the event as anti-Ukrainian and showed up for a five-person counter-protest.

A self-described “Marxist Leninist and American patriot,” anti-war activist and YouTube personality Jackson Hinkle accused the U.S. Congress of having the blood of young Ukrainian and Russian men dying in Ukraine on their hands. “The halls of Congress that they go to vote to send another ten billion dollars to Ukraine, their roofs are dripping with the blood of Ukrainian soldiers,” he said to the cheers of the crowd.

Almost every single speaker stated that the bloated defense budget diverts funds away from pressing domestic issues.

Diane Sare, backlisted by the Ukrainian government for “promoting narratives consonant with Russian propaganda,” along with keynote speakers of the rally Tulsi Gabbard and Ron Paul, said, “Millions are suffering in our own nation because of our foolish insistence on being a global hegemon.”

“Our nation used to lead the world in producing steel, cars, and ships,” said Dennis Kucinich, a former U.S. Congressman from Ohio who was a staunch opponent of the Iraq war. “Now, we lead the world in making enemies, confusing defense with offense. Arming ourselves to the teeth, spending trillions of dollars to advance an aggressive empire through the promotion of war. But the wars, my dear friends, have come home.”

The warning of a global war that would result in mutual nuclear annihilation was another theme of the speeches.

“The war machine of NATO will destroy life on the planet. It’s in the process of doing it right now,” said Dr. Jill Stain, the Green Party’s former nominee for president.

Describing the Ukrainian situation as a “catastrophe” that can “grow out of control,” Scott Horton, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, said that in a direct conflict between NATO and Russia, billions would be killed. Therefore, there’s an urgent need for a ceasefire and peace negotiations. Horton went on to describe how the expansion of NATO and American meddling in Russian domestic politics in the 1990s, along with regime changes, aka “color revolutions,” in the former Soviet republics orchestrated by the U.S. government were major driving forces feeding Russian militarism.

“The only thing we should be calling an enemy is the very idea that there can be a right side in the toxic tangle of organized mass murder that is every war,” said David Swanson of the World BEYOND War, saying that he’s not even demanding the government stop funding the Ukrainian war to redirect funds to Americans, but foremost to avoid a nuclear war that would “end us all.”

Tulsi Gabbard, a former U.S. Representative from Hawaii, also accused the military deep state and its government puppets of leading the country to a nuclear Holocaust with no regard for the lives of ordinary Americans. “This proxy war that we are fighting against Russia right now could turn at any moment into a direct conflict between the United States/NATO and Russia,” Gabbard said, warning that “anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that a cold war can at any moment turn into a hot war against a nuclear-armed country.” “Such wars can not be won,” she emphasized.

Ron Paul, a former U.S. Congressman from Texas and the nation’s most prominent libertarian, said that the solution to the war issue is “simple”: “End the Fed!” This statement was met with loud cheers and chants of “End the Fed!” Paul went on to describe how the federal government bankrupts Americans with taxes, money printing, and perpetual war. Ordinary citizens themselves would likely never go to war, so they are being lied to, frightened, and shamed into supporting the war machine.  

Speaking with The New American, Paul said that the key to ending the war is building a grass-roots anti-war movement and educating people to change their hearts and minds about the war machine.
