SATAN’S FOUR STEPS TO CRUSH CHRISTIANITY

Posted on by

Pastor Mark Driscoll has laid it out, plain as day, in his bold message: Satan has a four-step blueprint to crush Christianity, dismantle the family, and rule through chaos.

Step One: Feminism – Breaking God’s Order

It began in the 60s and 70s, that so-called sexual revolution. Feminism didn’t just “empower” women — it declared war on biblical manhood, womanhood, marriage, life, family, and legacy. All masculinity labelled “toxic.” Pornography, birth control, abortion, and divorce flooded the culture like a plague. They tore at the very foundations God laid in Eden: “Male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24).

This is the Marxist agenda in lipstick and heels — deconstructing God’s design to weaken the home, the first government. Strong fathers? Mocked. Traditional families? “Oppressive.” Millions of babies slaughtered in the womb. Divorce rates skyrocketed. Legacy? What legacy when kids are raised by the state and screens? This wasn’t progress; it was satanic rebellion against the Creator. And the hate for Christianity was baked in — because the Church stood for truth, for life, for ordered liberty under Christ.

Note: I’m talking about the godless feminist agenda, not equality for women in Christ.

Step Two: Rainbow Agenda and Transgenderism – Confusion and the Marginalisation of Strong Men

Now well underway, the next assault: the rainbow agenda and transgenderism. These demonic delusions promote perversion, addiction, and skyrocketing mental health crises, especially among the young. It minimises and marginalises strong, godly men in the home, church, and government. Boys are told they can be girls. Biological reality is “hate speech.” Surgeries mutilate God’s image-bearers. “God created man in his own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). Jesus affirmed this: “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female?” (Matthew 19:4).

This chaos weakens protectors. Fathers, pastors, leaders – sidelined while confusion reigns. Free speech? Crushed under “inclusion” mandates. Christians lose jobs, churches face lawsuits, and kids are groomed in schools. It’s a Marxist tool to invert creation, erode the nuclear family further, and produce a weak, divided people ripe for control. But the gospel stands: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28) – unity in truth, not erasure of design.

Step Three: Socialism — Stealing from the Strong to Prop Up the Weak

This is where we are right now, hurtling forward to destruction. Socialism steals wealth, power, and influence from the healthiest and strongest men — the providers, builders, and protectors — to waste it on the weakest and most incompetent. High taxes, redistribution, endless welfare that traps people in dependency. It is envy dressed as compassion, the same spirit that drove Cain to murder Abel.

The Marxist agenda hates the Protestant work ethic, private property (“Thou shalt not steal”), and the fruitful labour blessed by God. “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10). Yet governments punish success and reward sloth. Strong Christian men who build churches, businesses, and families see their fruit confiscated to fund agendas that mock God. Freedoms evaporate — free speech first, then assembly, then conscience. Christianity is hated because it produces strong, independent people who bow to King Jesus, not the state. BLM fused feminism, transgenderism, and socialism into one public assault, exposing the roots.

Step Four: Islam’s Rise and the Neutered “Third Way” Compromised Church

Once the West is deconstructed – gender gone, families shattered, wealth seized – the vacuum fills. A brutal, pseudo-masculine, demonic Islam advances through immigration and high reproduction rates. While the “third way” church stays neutral, nuanced, avoiding offence, neutered and worldly, compromise reigns. Lukewarm pastors tickle ears, afraid of “divisive” truth.

Jesus warned: “I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm… I will spit you out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:15-16). No middle ground! “There is no middle with Islam. There is no way between Jesus and jihad… between Jesus and Marxism” (echoing Driscoll’s fire). Islam brings sharia, persecution of Christians, and conquest. The true Church must not yield.

The Gospel Triumphs! Christians Overcome

Satan’s plan is real, but so is our victory in Christ. “The gates of hell shall not prevail against My Ekklesia [My church]” (Matthew 16:18). The power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ — his death for sinners, resurrection conquering death — shatters every chain. Strong men of God, filled with the Holy Spirit, must rise. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Repent. Preach the Word in season and out. Train sons in righteousness. Defend life, marriage, truth.

Australia and the West can turn. Revival fires have burned before and will again. Spiritual truth exposes lies. The Marxist agenda collapses under the weight of reality and the prayers of the saints. Loss of freedoms? We fight for them boldly, but our hope is not in politics alone — it’s in Christ the King.

Stand firm, brothers and sisters. Put on the full armour of God (Ephesians 6:11–18). Overcome evil with good. The same Spirit that raised Jesus dwells in you. Masculinity redeemed, families restored, nations discipled — this is our mandate. No compromise. No neutrality. Jesus is Lord!

The greatest danger today is not the culture — it is a promoted, comfortable, lukewarm Church. A Church that avoids offence. A Church that softens truth. A Church that blends into the world.

Jesus warned the Laodicean church: “Because you are lukewarm… I will spit you out of My mouth” (Revelation 3:16).

Australia does not need a woke compromised Church. Australia needs a Spirit-filled, Bible-anchored, prayer-powered, truth-speaking, demon-defeating, gospel-proclaiming Church.

Fire up your prayer life. Teach your kids the Bible. Speak truth in love but speak it loud. Satan’s steps are visible, but our King has already won the war. “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

The Ekklesia [Church] in Australia must return to:

  • Fervent prayer
  • Bold gospel preparation
  • Holiness and godly reputation
  • Spiritual warfare
  • Unashamed proclamation of Jesus Christ

When the Church prays, heaven moves. When the Church stands, darkness trembles. When the Church speaks truth, captives are set free.

AS PROPHESIED CHRISTIANITY HAS DEPARTED FAR FROM ITS ROOTS

Posted on by

Jonathan Cahn reveals how Anti-Israel hatred has been spreading across the world, even through conservative influencers – But what does the Bible say? – And it’s all connected to end-time prophecy – and from the Book of Acts! It is amazing how this little nation, Israel which was established by God for His purposes is the centre of world events in our day. The Bible prophesied that this would be the case in the last days before Jesus returns to rescue His nation from total destruction and restore righteousness. And yet the nation did not exist prior to 1948. God had to miraculously resurrect it to fulfil Biblical prophecy.

Next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net to find out what is ahead.

THE MAN WHOSE BOOKS INTRODUCED MANY TO JESUS CHRIST

Posted on by

C. S. Lewis is one of Christianity’s most respected voices: whether as a fantasy writer whose stories have reached hundreds of millions or as an apologist and lay theologian who may be the most quoted Christian today. But what made the C. S. Lewis we all know and love? A film from the Fellowship for Performing Arts (FPA) tastefully and compellingly presents Lewis’s journey from convinced atheist to the titan of the Christian faith that he is today.

There is little doubt that C. S. Lewis will go down as one of the most influential Christian writers and minds of all time — certainly of the past few hundred years. Lewis is especially well known for writing the legendary Chronicles of Narnia, the seven-book high fantasy series which is among the most impactful book series of the last hundred years. In terms of sheer numbers (and depending on who is counting), The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (1950) alone is in the top eight, top ten, or top fifteen best-selling books of all time. It trails only religious texts like The Bible, The Qur’an, The Book of Mormon and The Little Red Book, masterpieces like A Tale of Two Cities (1859) and Alice in Wonderland (1865), and modern sensations like Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s (Sorcerer’s) Stone (1997). The entire series has sold some 120 million copies.

Between 2005 and 2010, three of the Narnia books — The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader — were made into blockbuster films on the same scale as The Lord of the Rings (with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe outperforming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in the North American Box Office).

While Lewis may not have penned the most popular books of all time, he can lay claim to being a major influence on those who did. J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings was rated the United Kingdom’s “most beloved book” in 2003, but famously, it was Lewis who pressed Tolkien to write the magisterial work.

The Screwtape Letters (1942), an ingenious novel-style devotional book, arguably popularised a new genre — “demonic epistolary fiction” — and has sold millions of copies around the world. The Fellowship of Performing Arts also has plans to adapt the book to film, with production to begin in 2027. In 2000, Christianity Today named Screwtape among its top 100 books of the century.

Not to be outdone, Lewis’s Mere Christianity (1952), adapted from Second World War BBC broadcasts, took the title of the “Book of the Century”. The short, systematic, and brilliantly accessible work of apologetics has been translated into thirty-six languages and sold over three and a half million copies globally.

In this video Gavin Ortlund shares about why he loves C.S. Lewis’ That Hideous Strength, and why it is a helpful and important book for Christians today.

U.S. SECRETARY OF DEFENCE, PETE HEGSETH ACCUSED OF PRESSURING CHRISTIANITY ON U.S. TROOPS

Posted on by

Pete Hegseth is facing backlash following claims that he is pressuring service members to practice Christianity.

In a video posted on Dec. 16, Hegseth claimed that the Chaplain Corps has been “weakened” and “degraded” by “political correctness” and “Secular Humanism.”

According to the International Business Times UK, he also attacked the Army’s 112-page, Spiritual Fitness Guide. The guide was designed to support service members of all faiths and belief systems. In his video, Hegseth mocked the guide for its focus on emotional well-being and inclusive language. He also criticized the guide for references to “feelings” and for only mentioning God once.

Now, there are growing concerns after he characterized the guide as “unserious” and announced that he would sign directives to eliminate its use immediately. He hinted that secular and non-Christian approaches to spirituality would no longer be accepted as he works to “simplify” faith and belief codes that service members use.

As USA Today previously reported, Hegseth’s actions are in line with a sweeping push to purge “wokeness” from the military. The Defense Secretary has been vocal about a vision of the military being guided distinctly by Christian faith and has introduced monthly Christian prayer services into Pentagon settings. These actions are sparking fears that he is alienating non-Christian service members. 

Following Hegseth’s comments, Fish Stark, executive director of the American Humanist Association, and Ben Iten, president of the Humanist Society, condemned the Defence Secretary.   

In a different statement, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) sent a letter to Hegseth, objecting to his actions. The organization also filed a Freedom of Information Act request seeking all records related to the directives, internal communications about chaplaincy reform, and any planned changes to religious affiliation coding practices.

“Chaplains exist to ensure the free exercise rights of all service members, not to serve as instruments of religious conformity,” wrote FFRF’s legal counsel Chris Line.

He continued: “Any attempt to transform the chaplaincy into a mechanism for privileging particular religious doctrines or encouraging service members to believe in a particular religion would violate service members’ constitutional rights and undermine the very purpose of the corps.” 

The American Humanist Society, Humanist Society, Freedom From Religion Foundation are all trying to take God and Christianity out of American society which I hope would be abhorrent to most Americans.

Christian scholar, pastor John MacArthur destroys Jewish scholar, Ben Shapiro’s view of Jesus. The two have an intense conversation about Judaism and Christianity, exploring their commonalities but also the major difference found in the person of Jesus Christ. This a powerful exchange worthy of wide distribution which is why I am posting it here.

I am sure you will agree with me that John MacArthur does a great job. If you don’t let me know why.

JOE ROGAN IS IMACTING MILLIONS FOR CHRIST

Posted on by

Podcast veteran Joe Rogan, once an atheist, is now attending church. His spiritual trajectory mirrors a broader spiritual revival among Gen Z and young men worldwide. Raised Catholic but long agnostic, Rogan is now rethinking some of life’s biggest questions — and his public platform means millions are along for the ride.

As of this week, The Joe Rogan Experience boasts 14.5 million followers on Spotify, making it by far the most popular podcast on the platform. Of course, since Spotify ended its exclusivity deal with Rogan in a multi-year agreement signed last month, the podcast is also now available on other platforms, including Apple Podcasts. The number only accounts for his Spotify audience, but his reach across platforms is staggering. Joe Rogan’s engagement with Christianity is becoming hard to ignore. Once a self-described atheist, he’s now asking serious questions about Jesus, the soul, and Scripture — often in front of millions.

In a recent discussion with Michael Kruger, Daniel Wallace and Michael Horton on the Know What You Believe podcast, Huff confirmed, “I can tell you for a fact that he is attending a church, and that has been a consistent thing.”

Huff, who serves as Central Canada Director for Apologetics Canada, said he’s maintained a line of communication with Rogan since their three-hour conversation on Christianity and the Bible. “He’s a very inquisitive individual,” Huff noted, adding that Rogan has been actively seeking out trustworthy sources on Christianity and Scripture.

Rogan’s personal journey is taking place in the midst of a broader, global resurgence of interest in Christianity — especially among Generation Z men.

“We’re seeing somewhat of a resurgence in interest in these topics,” Huff told the Know What You Believe audience, citing evidence both statistical and anecdotal. “We had young people walking into a Christian bookstore saying, ‘I want a Bible. All my friends are reading this thing.’”

The trend to which Huff referred is measurable. According to Barna’s 2025 State of the Church report, weekly church attendance in the US has risen from 28% in 2024 to 32% in 2025, driven primarily by Gen Z and Millennials. Remarkably, young men are now more likely to attend church than their female peers — a reversal of historic patterns.

Similar growth has been observed in the UK. A Bible Society study titled The Quiet Revival reports that regular church attendance has grown by 50% in the past six years, adding two million new attendees. The most dramatic rise has come from 18–24-year-olds, whose church participation jumped from 4% to 16% — with young men increasing from 4% to 21%.

Australia is seeing similar stirrings, though among an older crowd. McCrindle Research’s An Undercurrent of Faith found that from the 2016 to 2021 Census, more than 784,000 Australians shifted from “no religion” to identifying as Christian. Contrary to assumptions, the growth is not fuelled by immigration but by Australian-born citizens — most significantly among those over 55.

LIVING IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD

Posted on by

To be “in the world but not of the world” is one of those sayings that make sense, but it remains undeniably easier said than done. As Christians, we understand that we are in the world, passing through, on our way to eternity. We also understand that we are not to be of the world in the sense that we submit our lives to Christ, putting off the desires of the flesh, avoiding temptations, and resisting evil. We understand these things, but how can we ensure we’re living them out?

“I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world,” Jesus prayed. “I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world” John 17:14-16

How do we juggle the balance of loving unbelievers while not condoning their worldliness? How can we navigate discourse between those we disagree with? For many of us, it may be safe to say that we have a sense of needing to find unity where we can with those around us. And yet, in that pursuit, we must not neglect the command to speak the truth boldly and in love. To help us with this endeavour, there are a few goals worth prioritizing.

  1. Put God and His Word first.

No matter what you’re doing, who you’re talking to, where you’re going, or what you’re hoping for, putting God and His word first is the most important task for the believer. Proverbs 3:6 states, “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.” The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 10:31, “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” The two greatest commandments are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love our neighbours as ourselves. These are all in God’s word, and these are all rooted in putting God first. It’s glorifying to God to share His truth. It glorifies Him for us to love others and to be people who bear the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

When He is the one our gaze is fixed upon, we see the world differently. We’re quicker to see others (especially those of the world) not merely as obstacles or irritants but as people made in the image of God. We see sinners not so much as stumbling blocks but as people needing saving — just as we all are.

If you want to be a light to everyone around you, then make sure the Source of light is deeply and firmly planted within you. Be engaged in His word. Seek Him daily in prayer. Earnestly seek to glorify Him in all that you do, and you just may find yourself walking in a posture ready to communicate with anyone about anything in a way that is dignified, loving, truthful, and fruitful.

  1. Understand the biblical definition of love.

Jesus said in John 13:35 that His disciples will be known for their love. Of course, what is loving in biblical terms does not align with what the world defines love to be. And so, if we’re to be in the world but not of it, we must come to terms with the fact that we will have conversations with people we don’t agree with that won’t go particularly well. We can do everything in our power to be cool, calm, and collected, but it doesn’t change the fact that the truth is inherently offensive to those of the world. But as Christians, we know there is nothing more loving than to share this truth. A precise definition of biblical love can be found in 1 John 5:3: “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.” The truth can hurt, and it can hurt badly. But to experience hurt is not the same as to experience harm. The truth is love and freedom, and remembering this will help us hold our ground in conversations with people who are not like-minded. And at the end of the day, their responses are not in our control.

  1. Make sure you know what you believe and why.

This may actually be one of the most crucial steps to finding the balance of seeking unity while holding your ground. 1 Peter 3:15 states, “In your hearts honour Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defence to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.” Ephesians 4:15 talks about being equipped for ministry “so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.” The point is that we should have conviction about what we believe. We should be able to clearly define and defend it.

  1. Stay humble.

Humility is not only biblical, but it’s necessary for healthy dialogue. Humility helps us approach conversations with the right attitude. It helps us respond better to those who do not behave well. It helps us be more compassionate when we’re dealing with difficult people or having dicey conversations. We are all sinful, imperfect, messy humans. Humility reminds us of that.

Summary: Between the goals of putting God first, understanding what true love is, knowing what you believe, and staying humble, you will be walking a path to success. A great anonymous quote “Jesus sat with sinners; He didn’t sin with them. Know the difference.” And remember the words found in Luke 12: 11b-12: “Do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” He is always with us. And praise be that He gives us the strength, wisdom, and discernment needed to live in and not of this world.

MOST UNLIKELY INTELLECTUALS COMING TO CHRIST

Posted on by

There seems to be a significant movement to Christianity among some of the most influential intellectuals today. This story is taken from an article in The Australian on Dec. 20th, 2024 by Greg Sheridan: “How historian Niall Ferguson became a religious believer“

Pictured below: Douglas Murray, J.D.Vance, Jordan Peterson, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Niall Ferguson

Jordan Peterson famously says he’s no longer an atheist. Last year he told Greg Sheridan he now believes that Jesus Christ is the son of God, not just symbolically but truly. His wife, Tammy Roberts, herself an influential podcaster, this year became a Catholic after a long illness.

US vice-president-elect JD Vance went through a long atheist phase, but he too has since renewed his Christian belief and become a Catholic.

Tom Holland, the brilliant historian who wrote the influential book Dominion, about the Christian origins of the Western mind, has described his journey of belief. Paul Kingsnorth, once a radical atheistic environmentalist and a bestselling author, embraced Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Niall Ferguson is perhaps the most influential historian, and one of the most influential intellectuals, today. But here’s the most striking thing you’ll learn about Ferguson. Quietly, but with great commitment, Ferguson has become a religious believer. With his wife, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and their sons, he has become a churchgoing Anglican Christian. He is, in his own words, a “lapsed atheist”. Much more important, he’s a believing Christian. Though Ferguson sees profoundly the crisis of our times, and the contribution to that crisis brought about by the abandonment of Christianity, this is not primarily a political conversion. It’s a deeply personal and deliberate turn to faith by a man who was formerly a lifelong atheist.

Prolific author Douglas Murray represents another kind of intellectual who has grown to appreciate more and more the cultural contribution, a necessity even, of Christianity but, while immensely sympathetic to it and therefore opposed to the militantly secular spirit of the age, has stopped just short of actual personal belief. However, he’s moved, he says, from “Christian atheist” to “Christian agnostic”.

I wonder how long it will take for those who have turned to institutional/denominational churches such as Catholic and Anglican to realise that these churches have turned away (apostasy) from Biblical faith and compromised with the world on LGBTQ issues.

IMPRISONED PRO-LIFER URGES AMERICANS TO VOTE AGAINST ‘JEZEBEL SPIRIT’

Posted on by

A pro-life activist reporting to prison for her engagement in an abortion clinic blockade is encouraging Americans to “elect leaders who will stand for justice” and “be the beaming light that you were called to be” as she vows to “preach that Gospel” during her incarceration. She says, ” You cannot let Kamala win”.

Bevelyn Beatty Williams was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison for standing at the entrance of a New York City abortion clinic in November 2020, in what the United States Department of Justice characterized as a violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, announced in an X post-Tuesday that she was reporting to prison Wednesday. 

Williams is now serving time in prison following an unsuccessful effort to overturn her conviction under the law, which subjects anyone who attempts to interfere with abortions services to federal charges.  

Williams pointed to Kamala Harris’ career as a prosecutor as evidence that she “gets joy” out of prosecuting her political opponents. She also cited her conviction as a project of “a feminist movement” and “a Jezebel spirit in a lot of these women in power,” referring to the President Joe Biden-appointed Judge Jennifer Rochon, who sentenced her. 

Williams told followers that, even though Rochon was “so harsh” at sentencing and treated her “so badly,” she “prayed for her” and was “still praying for her.” She reiterated her claim that the judge “represents every woman that just shouldn’t be in power” because she used “bias and emotion” in her judicial decision.  

“She was ruthless with me,” Williams asserted. Williams summarized Rochon’s message as, “I think you’re a danger to the streets” and a “danger to society.” She characterized her conviction as part of a broader effort by progressive politicians to put “people that they don’t like politically in prison.” 

END TIMES SIGNS: What is playing out here in the USA and in my previous post of a Pro-Life activist in the UK, are Biblical prophesied end times signs. Fortunately, God told us this would happen in the end times. In fact, tribulation will get worse when the Antichrist comes on the scene. Israel and Jerusalem are at the centre of Biblical end times prophecies and a major invasion of Israel is imminent.
