Megachurch Pastor Steps Down Due To Past ‘Sin’

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Dallas, TX – Dr. Tony Evans, the renowned lead pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Church (OCBF) and author of several bestselling books, announced his immediate resignation on Sunday. The decision, which was revealed during both services at the 10,000-member Dallas megachurch, stems from a “sin” committed years ago.

In a heartfelt statement, Dr. Evans expressed his gratitude for the “glorious joy and privilege” of leading the church for nearly five decades. “The foundation of our ministry has always been our commitment to the Word of God as the absolute supreme standard of truth to which we are to conform our lives,” Evans wrote. “When we fall short of that standard due to sin, we are required to repent and restore our relationship with God. A number of years ago, I fell short of that standard.”

While the specific nature of the “sin” was not disclosed, Dr. Evans emphasized that he has addressed the issue with his family and will be undergoing a “healing and restoration process” established by the church elders. “While I have committed no crime, I did not use righteous judgment in my actions,” he added.

In his concluding remarks, Dr. Evans urged the congregation to remain steadfast in their faith and continue the ministry’s work without him. “During this time, it is critical that the ministry of OCBF continue as vibrantly as ever. Remember, you serve the Lord Jesus Christ, not a man.”

The announcement has sent ripples through the OCBF community, with many expressing support for Dr. Evans and his decision to step down. The church has not yet announced plans for his successor.

A husband and wife were attacked after going on a date in Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood on Friday.

The couple found themselves surrounded by teens around 8:30 p.m. at Grand Avenue and McClurg Court. They were kicked, stomped on, and punched repeatedly.

Nina, who didn’t want to show her face on camera, shared images with FOX 32 showing a chunk of her hair pulled out. During the interview, her eye was still bruised.

Her husband was also viciously attacked by the group, which held him down.

Nina said this wasn’t a robbery, and that the teens pepper-sprayed her and kicked her stomach. She was two weeks pregnant and said she found out after the attack that she had lost the baby. (Read more from “Woman Loses Baby Following Random Attack by Teens in Chicago” HERE)

Pro-Life Grandma Sentenced to 2 Years in Prison As Judge Appears to Mock Her Poor Health

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former and potentially future President Donald Trump was found “guilty” last Thursday on 34 felony counts in a hush money “trial.” It’s not just Trump they’re going after, though with a weaponized and politicized justice system. As we’ve been covering, President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has been quite eager to prosecute prayerful pro-life activists using the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, including an elderly grandfather. Since then, more grandparents have been sentenced, including grandmothers in poor health.

Late last month, 59-year-old Heather Idoni was sentenced to 24 years in prison. She’s already been incarcerated for nine months, which will count towards time served. It’s been far from a pleasant experience for the grandmother, as Live Action News revealed:

Idoni was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison for her part in the October 2020 activism – she has already been incarcerated for nine months, which will count toward her total sentence. The activists reportedly used chains, bike locks, furniture, and their bodies in an attempt to stop abortions from being committed and to prevent police officers from removing them from the facility. These are common activism tactics used today and in decades past to peacefully demonstrate.

Like most of her co-defendants who received sentencing last week, Idoni will also be on probation for three years following her release, during which time she will be prohibited from coming within 1000 feet of any abortion facility. Unlike her co-defendants, Idoni will also be required to submit to drug testing while on probation.

Idoni has reportedly suffered poor treatment and health problems during her incarceration, including an extended period in solitary confinement during which time the lights in her cell were kept on around the clock, a subsequent stroke, and the denial of necessary medicine by jail officials. She has also reportedly been moved nine times between seven different facilities since she was incarcerated last August. During a recent pre-trial hearing in another case, Idoni was kept in shackles – as if she were a violent offender.

Detective Suspended for Investigating Babies Who Died From Sids After Mothers Took the Jab

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chances are, if you’ve been keeping tabs on the COVID “coverup,: you’ve come across this story that began to unfold in 2022. There was a sudden spike in SIDS cases in Ottawa, Canada, where nine babies died shortly after their mothers received the vaccine. One detective, named Helen Grus, took it upon herself to investigate these incidents. Yet, simply for doing her job and delving into the vaccine’s possible role, she found herself suspended and vilified.

The Ottawa police settled with one of the families who felt their privacy was breached, simply because a detective was determined to get to the bottom of their baby’s death, and that’s when Grus was suspended and her life was turned upside down.

CTV News:

Grus allegedly contacted the deceased baby’s father on Jan. 30, 2022 to ask about the mother’s COVID-19 vaccination status, according to police documents.

After a complaint was filed against Grus with OPS, Grus was suspended with pay on Feb. 4, 2022.

Lawrence Greenspon, the family’s lawyer, said the case was settled this week for an undisclosed amount.

“Parents are not put on this earth to bury their children,” he told CTV News Ottawa.

“When a tragedy happens, the family’s privacy must be respected.”

Greenspon said the family would like to thank the Ottawa Police Service for acknowledging their grief and recognizing the importance of privacy.

The Tide Is About To Turn Against Gender Activists Abusing America’s Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s easy to look back on the great horrors of history and wonder how they could have happened in the first place. From genocides to eugenic movements to ritualistic abuses, modern human beings wonder how people could go along with such travesties to begin with.

Historically, human minds haven’t been changed in these circumstances by facts or data or logic. It’s not often an ultra-compelling argument or nicely-presented chart that wins over hearts and minds. It’s real, raw, emotional connection.

That’s why Detrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult, a new book out Tuesday by former Daily Caller News Foundation reporter Mary Margaret Olohan, could prove to be a pivotal work in the battle for the soul of this nation on the issue of child mutilation — or, as its proponents call it, “gender-affirming care.”

Olohan’s book features in-depth interviews with “detransitioners” — that is, individuals who thought they were transgender, went through some or all phases of transitioning and then later came to regret it — detailing their experiences. It’s one of the most powerful books anyone will ever read. Each lie that is told to these victims, life-altering drug that is pushed onto them and mutilating procedure that is performed on them, leading to a life of depression and regret, will make the reader’s heart sink and trigger a shudder.

Don’t look away, though. These are real things happening to real people. Parents being told their children will kill themselves if they don’t transition. Kids waking up from surgery with the breasts removed. Losing basic bodily functions after procedures that their doctors didn’t tell them about — every horrific detail actually happened.

Lawmaker’s Missionary Daughter, Son-in-Law Murdered by Gang in Haiti

/0 Comments/in , /by

The daughter and son-in-law of a Missouri lawmaker were brutally murdered by a gang while serving as missionaries in Haiti. The young couple, along with a third victim, were killed in an attack on Thursday night in the Lizon community, northern Port-au-Prince.

The victims were identified as 23-year-old Davy Lloyd, 21-year-old Natalie Lloyd, and 45-year-old Jude Montis. All three were members of Missions in Haiti, Inc., an organization founded by Davy’s parents, David and Alicia Lloyd. The compound included an orphanage, a school, and a church, and educated around 450 children.

Davy Lloyd grew up on the compound. His sister, Hannah Cornett, told the Associated Press, “Davy spoke Creole before he spoke English. It was home. Haiti was all we knew.”

Natalie Lloyd joined the organization in August 2022 after marrying Davy in June. They were “full-time missionaries” in Haiti, according to Natalie’s father, Missouri State Rep. Ben Baker. Montis served as the group’s Haitian director for two decades and was a pastor with a wife and two young children.

The trio was ambushed by gang members at the compound on Thursday. David Lloyd described the ordeal, stating, “They tied up my son and beat him. They got three vehicles. They got a bunch of equipment, money, I had my payroll in there for the week.”

Davy managed to untie himself, and the trio fled to a small house on the compound. Davy called his father during the chaos, saying, “Dad, something is going on. There are a bunch more guys, and I think they may be back.”

The gang members allegedly returned, shooting out the windows and eventually infiltrating the house. They murdered all three missionaries by shooting them. A video of the crime scene reportedly shows “three bodies sprawled on the floor, with those of Davy Lloyd and Montis having been burned.”

DOJ Puts Pro-life Grandmother Behind Bars for Trying to Stop Abortions

/1 Comment/in , /by

Pro-life activist Heather Idoni received a sentence of 24 months in prison on Wednesday, convicted of federal conspiracy against rights and Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act charges brought by the Justice Department.

Idoni, 59, will spend two years in prison for trying to stop abortions from taking place at a Washington, D.C., area abortion clinic on Oct. 20, 2020. She is mother to 15 children, according to LifeSite news, five of whom are her biological children and 10 of whom she and her husband reportedly adopted from Ukraine. . .

Her sentencing is part of the DOJ’s focus on enforcing the FACE Act against pro-life activists since the June 2022 overturn of Roe v. Wade. Led by Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, the DOJ has charged dozens of pro-life activists for attempting to stop women from aborting their unborn babies.

Idoni is one of several pro-life activists sentenced to prison time in connection to the 2020 incident: pro-life activist Lauren Handy received 57 months in prison, John Hinshaw 21 months, WIlliam Goodman 27 months, Jonathan Darnel 34 months, Herb Geraghty 27 months, and Joan Bell 27 months .

“Federal law is clear: using force, threatening to use force or physically obstructing access to reproductive health care is unlawful,” Clarke said in a release announcing Idoni’s sentence. “People have a First Amendment right to communicate their views but they do not have the right to use chains, locks and obstruction to prevent access to reproductive health care facilities.”

A ‘Trans’ Athlete Won a Girls’ State Title. Here’s How the Crowd Reacted.

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A transgender high school athlete was booed at a track and field event after he competed against females and won a state title.

The athlete, Aayden Gallagher won the Oregon Girls’ 6A 200-meter race by two-tenths of a second. Reportedly, Gallagher had the best time of the preliminary heats in the event (via the New York Post):

Gallagher finished in first place in the 400-meter preliminary event with a 56.14 time – 0.23 seconds better than the second-place finisher. Gallagher finished second in the 200-meter preliminary event with a time of 24.49 – about 0.17 slower than the first-place finisher.

Those events led her to qualifying for the state finals that occurred this weekend.

The meet reportedly took place in Eugene, Oregon, the same stadium where the U.S. Championships and Olympic Trials take place.

Top Pediatrician: US Medical Establishment Is ‘Misleading’ the Public About the Science Behind Child Sex Changes

/0 Comments/in , /by

The British medical establishment was long captive to gender ideology. It is now coming to terms with the error of its ways, having realized that the supposed “right side of history” where the trans-activist flag waves proudly is actually the province of pseudoscience, misery, and mutilation.

Dr. Hilary Cass, a British medical doctor who previously served as president of the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, hammered the final nail into the coffin for the “gender-affirming care” narrative in April.

Cass, a highly esteemed recipient of the Order of the British Empire, was appointed by the National Health Service in England in 2020 to lead an independent investigation into Britain’s sex-change regime and its youth facing services. Her 388-page final report — released shortly after England effectively banned the prescription of puberty blockers and shuttered the infamous Tavistock child gender-identity clinic — made abundantly clear that the evidence in support of “gender-affirming care” was “weak” at best.

In addition to highlighting unreliable science and the fallout of sex-change interventions, Cass noted that sex-change procedures did not impact suicide risk or deliver on other promised results and that mutilated children may likely have otherwise outgrown their confusion.

These conclusions sent various radicals into fits of rage. Cass has since become a popular target, even for some leftist lawmakers.

Cass recently expressed amazement that whereas Britain is now pumping the brakes on its mutilatory practices — joining the ranks of other Western nations like Finland and Norway — the American medical establishment is ostensibly speeding along with reckless abandon.
