Pastor's Point of View 426 - September 18, 2026

False religion, rising persecution, and societal sin signal the end times. From Senate candidates denying Christ's exclusivity to abortion up to birth, the world is conforming to prophecy. Our hope is not in this world improving - it is in Christ's return.

I. Global Religion

2 Timothy 3:5
holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; avoid such men as these.

Methodist Pastor Adam Hamilton, the Democrat candidate in Kansas's Senate race, publicly denied the exclusivity of Jesus during a sermon, promoting inclusivism by asserting that people of other religions have a "different lens" that gives them a less clear picture of who God is but will not keep them from entering Heaven in the afterlife.

Hamilton is the founding and senior pastor of the Church of the Resurrection, running as an "'independent-minded' candidate on the Democratic ticket for the United...

Democrat Senate candidate and pastor Adam Hamilton asked in a 2015 video how much "latitude" Christians have to push back on the Bible, including whether they can say the Apostle Paul was "wrong."

Hamilton made the comments at an event run by an LGBTQ-affirming Christian group. He spoke during a pastors' panel hosted by the Reformation Project. The nonprofit was founded in 2013 by Matthew Vines to reform church teaching on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Nutty and unimpressive New York Governor Kathy Hochul appeared in a head scarf during her visit to an Islamic mosque this week in .

It just happens to be two weeks before the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 Islamic attacks on New York City in 2001 that killed 2,606 innocents in New York City's Twin Towers.

The 9-11 attacks were the deadliest aviation disasters of all time and the...

II. Persecution

The formerly great state of took a giant step toward becoming a complete leftist dictatorship with a new law that completely destroys the 1st Amendment.

As The New York Post reported, Governor Gavin Newsom officially signed the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" into law on Saturday. This comes just days after a leftist operative interrupted an interview the independent journalist was conducting at the State Capitol and launched a disgusting and bizarre personal attack against him.

New Jersey Right to Life (NJRTL) strongly condemns Governor Mikie Sherrill's decision to sign S2260 into law. This legislation grants sweeping legal immunity to abortion providers and erects new barriers against accountability for activities the state now broadly labels "reproductive health care," shielding them from certain investigations, legal actions, and records requests originating outside New Jersey.

"Governor Sherrill just signed a blank check for the abortion industry and a death warrant for countless unborn...

The Biden-era FBI targeted two priests for investigation, surveillance, and credit card checks as part of a controversial probe into whether traditional Catholics posed an extremist threat inside America, a new Justice Department report reveals.

The DOJ Weaponization Working Group report released Friday revealed that the bureau's conduct went much further than the publication of a memo inside its Richmond office that depicted traditional conservative Catholics as "violent extremists."

âť“ WHAT HAPPENED: A report from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General (OIG) has confirmed that Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) workers intentionally skipped homes displaying Trump flags during relief efforts following Hurricane Milton in October 2024. The workers cited political signage as justification for bypassing properties, violating the Hatch Act and internal FEMA policies.
? DETAIL: The Inspector General's report, released Monday, verified 11 documented cases of politically motivated discrimination, with one...

III. Societal Sins

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has signed H.5595, which would legalize abortions up to birth.

The radical bill that allows abortions up until birth even on healthy unborn babies. Democrats fast tracked the measure to bypass the full committee process so the full body could pass the bill before the legislature adjourned.

The bill passed the overwhelmingly Democrat House on July 22 by a vote of 119-33. Under current state law, abortions are allowed up to 24 weeks of...

A just-released study from Rutgers University, the Network Contagion Research Institute, and the Manhattan Institute has found something not at all surprising…

"These findings suggest that gender ideology is associated with LWA [left-wing authoritarianism] and willingness to justify political violence."

Knock me over with a feather. Here's the rub:
