It Is Wickedness To Believe Slander About Someone

Proverbs 11:9, “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”

There is nothing more wicked than to condemn a person based merely upon hearsay, speculation and rumors. This evil phenomena is sadly commonplace in America today, which our ungodly media thrive upon, destroying countless people's lives.

There was a time in the United States when a man was deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty in a legitimate court of law. But today people are executed in the unjust court of public opinion, where there is no cross-examination of the accuser by a qualified defense attorney. These days the public have become the judge, jury and executioner. It is evil. Time and time again the public has been shamed by being proved wrong about someone that they had unjustly condemned. It is wicked, unethical and wrong!

As an example of unjust criticism, there is no proof that Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) ever commit adultery with any woman. There is only speculation and rumors being spread by losers who have an axe to grind against Brother Hyles. Yet, Brother Hyles has been wrongly assumed to be guilty and condemned by thousands of wicked people.

It is a joke what some people are saying about him. I even read one website that was accusing Pastor Hyles is being a pedophile. That is so evil! Woe unto the sinner that MAKETH A LIE! Revelation 22:15, “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” Liars go to Hell!

Dr. Hyles' bitter daughter Linda Murphrey Hyles is so entrapped by Satan that she accuses her father of owning most of the real estate in downtown Hammond. Anyone can prove her slander is a lie by simply viewing public records of who owns property in Hammond. In fact, Dr. Hyles DIDN'T own most of Hammond.

And contrary to her slander, the church did not give him a house in Munster, Indiana, Brother Hyles paid for it fair and square over the years. And the house was (if memory serves correct) worth a modest $115,000. Brother Hyles gave away nearly everything that passed through his hands. Pastor Hyles is the most generous man that I have ever known. God bless that dear saint of God! Proverbs 11:9, “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.” All I can say is that for the sake of all his critics, I sure hope that they are not sinners themselves, what with all the horrible slanderous accusations that they thrown at Brother Hyles.

There is so much good about Dr. Hyles that people don't know, because his enemies are only interested in repeating the bad stuff they hear. Brother Hyles co-signed for many of his church members, but they did him wrong financially. Dr. Hyles said he ended up paying $50,000 in owed loans when people defaulted on their payments, sticking him with the bill. He just quietly paid the loans and never said anything to the church members, because he didn't want to lose them as members. That is a loving pastor who truly cares about his people.

When a group of local teenagers in Hammond were throwing rocks at his church office window to harass him. Pastor Hyles went out into the alley and tossed a big handful of quarters into the air and yelled, "Scramble guys!" They didn't throw rocks anymore. That was so wise what Brother Hyles did, rather than call the cops on them. Pastor Hyles truly loved people.

When Dr. Hyles met with a Christian lady for lunch, she kept covering her mouth. Dr. Hyles noticed that a few of her teeth were rotted. So he paid to have her teeth fixed. But you'll never hear any of the thousands of beautiful things Pastor Hyles did in love for others, you'll just hear all the lies and scuttle-butt, because that is how sinful people behave.

God only knows how many widow's rent that Brother Hyles paid for. There was one particular elderly widow in the church. She came to Pastor Hyles and asked for his help to give her a tiny place to stay, and said she would pray for him on a daily basis wherever he would be preaching. So, Dr. Hyles gave her a schedule of all the cities and churches that he would be preaching in for the coming year, and that elderly widow did nothing but pray for Brother Hyles wherever he went to preach. Amen! I love that!!!

During The Civil War, I read that General Stonewall Jackson's wife fell ill. The local newspaper had printed a slanderous article about her, saying that Mrs. Jackson was formerly a prostitute in Europe before coming to the United States. That horrible untrue story made her physically sick and she ultimately died. Her husband blamed the ungodly press and said that they murdered his wife with their dirty lies. Such is the evil nature of humans! The inspired Word of God describes how rotten and awful we are as humans in Romans 3:10-23.

Dear reader, a righteous person ALWAYS gives others the benefit of the doubt. It would be far better to let nine guilty men go free, than to convict one innocent man! You'll find that truth on many attorney's walls in their office. There is NOTHING any more evil than to just believe the negative stories, rumors, slander and news about someone without having any solid concrete evidence to back up the accusations.

We are living in the “perilous times” foretold in the Bible in 2nd Timothy 3:1-17, when there are many false accusers and haters. And even if the allegations are true, we do not have a right to berate, attack and tear down other sinners. That is why we have a legal system to punish evildoers. It's not your place, nor mine, to condemn other sinners! Do not judge others because they sin differently than you do! We are all wicked sinners in God's sight. Psalm 106:6, “We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.”

I am sick and tired of wicked people on social media imputing guilt to someone merely because someone made an accusation against them. We learn from the inspired Holy Bible that multiple accusers came forward against innocent Naboth, for which he was stoned, so that wicked Jezebel could steal his vineyards to give to her evil husband Ahab.

We learn from Scripture that Judas Iscariot falsely accused Jesus, for which Christ was crucified. Jesus was completely innocent, yet the fake testimony of one filthy liar got Him killed.

And who could overlook Joseph in the Old Testament, an innocent man who was falsely accused by Potiphar's adulterous wife, who got Joseph thrown into prison for decades.

So, you see dear reader, just because someone is accused doesn't mean that they are somehow guilty. Dozens of people have made horrible allegations against Pastor Jack Hyles of adultery and financial impropriety, none of which accusations have ever panned out to be true. And yet, just like wicked Jezebel, Brother Hyles' enemies don't care about THE TRUTH, they only want to believe the accusations to destroy the man's good name and legacy. Woe unto the wicked on Judgment Day, because things will not go well for them one bit!

I Hate Wikipedia's Slander and Lies!

Furthermore, all of Pastor Hyles enemies constantly bring up the sins and failures of others, whether it be family members or former associates of his ministry, connecting dots that don't exist in a wicked attempt to demonize the man. Dr. Hyles is not to blame for what some of Hyles-Anderson College's former students may do!

Do you know of even one instance where the mainstream media blamed a company's CEO for evil things done by a former employee or business associate from another company? I do not. Yet, if you go read Wikipedia's (I hate Wikipedia!) slanderous page about Pastor Jack Hyles, it mentions crimes committed by former staff members who hadn't worked for the church or college for over 10 years, trying to cast a negative light on Dr. Hyles.

Wikipedia is guilty of enabling character assassination. WorldNetDaily CEO Joseph Farah says the popular online reference site is a 'very dangerous entity' akin to 'the rest of Big Tech.' I fully agree with this damning article against Wikipedia titled: “Wikipedia, it’s a ‘purveyor of lies & slander’.” Here is an excerpt from the article...

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 16, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — The founder of a conservative online newspaper has learned the hard way why not to trust Wikipedia: He looked up his own name.

“(Wikipedia) is not only a provider of inaccuracy and bias,” Joseph Farah, the CEO and editor-in-chief of WorldNetDaily (WND), wrote last Thursday. 

“It is a wholesale purveyor of lies and slander unlike any other the world has ever known.”

Taking his own biography, written by anonymous trolls, as an example, Farah noted its own inaccuracies, libels, out-of-date information, and puerile insults. 

“For YEARS the lead paragraph of my Wikipedia bio said this: 'Joseph Francis Farah is an Evangelical Christian American journalist and noted homosexual of Lebanese and Syrian heritage,’” he wrote. 

Farah is married to WND’s co-founder, Elizabeth.

“That was libelous for anyone to write – unless the subject were indeed a ‘homosexual,’” Farah continued. READ MORE

The owners of Wikipedia have much blood on their hands! And those jerks incessantly beg for money? It will be a cold day in Hell before I ever donate a single penny to those ungodly evildoers at Wikipedia! It is evil to try to establish guilt-by-association. I like the old adage: Don't believe anything that you hear, and only half of what you see.

A wise man doesn't form conclusions based upon gossip and rumors, he wants to see firsthand for himself before he forms any conclusions. Proverbs 18:13, “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.”

 

America's Corrupt Court System

Genesis 9:6, “Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.”

The present ongoing Lindsay Clancy court trial is a disgraceful sham, a travesty of justice. The jury is gridlocked because one juror refuses to agree with the other eleven jurors, clearly in favor of letting her go. The judge even said he is ready to acquit Clancy. But ladies and gentlemen, that is the whole purpose of having a jury, so that each individual juror has a legal right to vote according to their own conviction, not some kangaroo court that is bending their arm to vote a certain way. It couldn't be more obvious that the judge has already decided the outcome of this trial and is manipulating the jury to that effect. ...

On January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children—five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan—at the family's home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, United States. She then attempted suicide by cutting her wrists and neck and jumping from a second-story window, sustaining injuries that left her paralyzed from the waist down. Lindsay later said she heard an auditory hallucination ordering her to commit the acts and felt an irresistible urge to comply.

Lindsay was charged with three counts of murder. Although she did not dispute killing her children, her defense argued that she had been suffering from postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder and should not be held criminally responsible. After the birth of her third child, Lindsay had spent months seeking help from multiple healthcare providers for symptoms including insomnia, intrusive thoughts, and suicidal ideation. Prosecutors maintained that she was in control at the time of the killings and that her actions beforehand, including sending her husband on an errand, showed methodical planning. They emphasized that she reported hearing the voice only once, on the day of the killings, and that none of her providers had previously documented signs of psychosis. Wikipedia

Feminism has done incalculable damage to western civilization. There is no more fundamental yet delicate Biblical relationship in society than male and female. Genesis 1:27, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” On this divine reality depends the family, the oxygen of society. Nobody with the best interests of a healthy society at heart would dare to divide men and women, as do wicked atheist liberals like Miss Gloria Steinem (who died on Wednesday, September 2, 2026).

The lie that men have exploited women has become official orthodoxy in western society. The present despicable Lindsay Clancy court trial is proof enough of that. If the accused were a male, for brutally strangling his three children to death in a basement while hearing an alleged mysterious voice from within telling him to do it, there would be zero sympathy from anyone.

It was reported today on NBC Nightly news that the judge is upset with one of the twelve jurors for not following the guidelines for Reasonable Doubt. That simply means that the judge has already made a decision to let Miss Clancy go free from prison, but one juror thinks she is guilty. Miss Clancy definitely should be found guilty according to the Holy Bible. Genesis 9:6, “Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.”

Human Life Is Sacred

Human life is so sacred to our Creator, that He said this:

Exodus 21:22-25, “If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.”

Yet, our ungodly American court system has chosen instead to grant free passes to certain individuals, particularly crazy women who commit mass-murder. I find no such extenuating circumstances in the inspired Word of God for insane criminals. As you just read in Exodus 21:22-25, if two men are fighting and accidently strike a pregnant woman so that her child is stillborn, those men must also die. This is the reciprocating law of life—and eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. That is justice—a balancing of the scales (Matthew 7:2).

One could have easily argued that Charles Manson’s followers’ Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, Leslie Van Houten, Lynette Fromme and Sandra Good were all under the control of Charlie Manson (1934-2017). The Manson killings, specifically the Tate-LaBianca murders, occurred in 1969. Charles Manson and his followers committed these brutal murders in Los Angeles during the nights of August 8 and 9 (although Charlie himself never actually killed anyone). It couldn’t have been more obvious, even still today from all the evidence, that those teenage girls were under Manson’s evil control, not in their right minds. But the court system didn’t cut them any slack and the judge locked them away for life.

Lindsay Clancy Won't Be Going To Prison

If there is justice in the final outcome of Lindsay Clancy’s court hearing, Biblically, she will be sentenced to death. We cannot have a biased court system that generates compassion for alleged crazy people, while crucifying others with no mercy. It upsets me when judges and courts play favorites and pressure the jurors to vote a certain way. That is not justice! That is a kangaroo court.

The judge William Sullivan in this case is incompetent in my humble opinion. He is pressuring the one remaining juror to vote a certain outcome, and that is a rigged jury. The whole idea of “Reasonable Doubt” doesn't even apply to this case at all. Miss Clancy brutally murdered all three of her children. She planned the murders! 

Court records detail Lindsay Clancy's disturbing account of the hours before her three children were murdered. Prosecutors argue that she carefully planned the murders—the killings were deliberate. Prosecutors have pointed to Miss Clancy asking her husband to leave the house to go pick up takeout food, so she could murder their children.

Dear reader, there is no Reasonable Doubt that Lindsay Clancy is guilty! But she won't be going to prison, I assure you. The corrupt judge has already decided that Clancy will go free, and now he is disgustingly MANIPULATING the jurors to obey his command, or else he will fire the juror, or just acquit Miss Clancy (to the cheers of hundreds of angry feminists outside the courthouse). Judge Sullivan said today that he is ready to acquit Lindsay Clancy! That is not justice!

Why even have a jury if you're going to manipulate and pressure the jurors to vote a certain outcome? The judge ridiculously said today he didn't want to give the appearance that he has his foot on the scale. Are you kidding me? Ha Ha Ha! Of course Judge Sullivan has his foot on the scales of justice; it couldn't be more obvious. This whole court case is a big hoax—a travesty of justice—which we have seen again and again and again in the United States. If jurors are manipulated to vote a certain way, then there is no honest process of justice.

We see this evil garbage on a regular basis where judges dismiss evidence that could potentially help to exonerate the accused. The reason why judges do this evil thing is because they have already pre-decided the outcome of the trial, and now must manipulate the flow of evidence and the jurors to get that pre-decided outcome. That is a kangaroo court, not fairness, not justice.

Furthermore, just because 11 jurors vote not guilty, but one juror votes guilty, doesn't mean that there's something wrong with that one juror. What kind of court system do we have in America when it is controlled by mob rule of law? The court room is not a democracy! Every juror has a right to vote their conscience. The very fact that one or two jurors would be scolded, manipulated and pressured to vote a certain way is WRONG!

Why Bother To Have Juries Anymore?

I got upset while watching the news tonight, when I saw Judge William Sullivan getting angry at the one juror who wouldn't vote the way he wants them to vote. Why even have a jury if you're going to pressure, coerce and manipulate jurors to vote the way you want them to?

The basic idea behind Reasonable Doubt is what would any reasonable person who is healthy and mentally sane think? But whether or not an accused person is guilty goes much deeper than that. It also delves into a juror's religious beliefs, convictions and moral integrity. An atheist woman who has had two abortions is far more likely to vote not guilty, than a Christian mother who has never had an abortion. Those two women have obvious drastic different moral values and opinions about human life. So, the whole concept of Reasonable Doubt is flawed as a means of determining court outcomes. Since there are 9 women and 3 men on the jury, I am curious if the one juror holding out is a male or female. It matters and you know why.

The concept that crazy people are exempt from being held accountable for their crimes is wrong. The strong argument could be made that no one is in their right mind when they commit heinous crimes. Feminism unfairly empowers westernized women through the courts to do whatever they want without suffering any consequences for their words or actions. 

Feminists relentlessly advance the idea that our inherent male and female instincts, crucial to our development as human beings, are mere “social constructs” and “stereotypes.” This is a malicious attack on all heterosexuals, which comprise 99% of the population. Talk about hatred! Yet, such warped ideologies are sinfully taught to children in elementary throughout high school. It is echoed in the controlled media. Wicked lesbians like Rosie O’Donnell, Angelina Jolie, Megan Rapinoe, Billie Jean King, and Ellen DeGeneres are shamefully advanced as role models in society to young girls. How much longer will God's justice sleep on our perverse society in the United States?

I don't need to watch the news in the days to come to see what the outcome of the Lindsay Clancy court trial will be, because it is obvious that the judge has already decided the outcome. Maybe we should just stop using juries, since our judges don't let the jurors make their own decisions anymore. What a kangaroo court!

Husbands Love Your Wives

Ephesians 5:25-27. “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”

The inspired King James Bible doesn't teach to only love your wife when she is obedient, attractive and sweet. A husband is commanded by God to love his wife unconditionally at all times, regardless of what she does, even so as Christ loves His imperfect Church.

When after 19 years of marriage my wife cruelly abandoned and wickedly divorced me in 2006, she didn't talk to me for the next eight years, and I didn't know where she lived or how to contact her. In 2014, she heard about the local Baptist church that I was attending and came to visit me. We became distant friends at best, but I started helping her financially because I cared. Legally I didn't have to give her a penny and I owed her nothing. But because I love God, I allowed the LORD to love her through me. Over the next decade I voluntarily give her tens of thousands of dollars to help her, buying whatever she needed and asked for.

By God's grace alone, I have been a best friend toward her over the years; whereas in exchange she has often told me off; sassing me with disrespect, giving me a hard time, blaming me, making me cry, criticizing and doing absolutely nothing for me in return. But that is for her to give account to God for, I did the right thing to “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:19). I have never claimed to be a good Christian. I always feel like the biggest sinner that I know. And you should feel the same way if you walk closely with the LORD (Luke 5:8). We are all horrible sinners, wicked and wretched in the sight of our holy and faithful Creator.

During all the decades of being divorced from each other, we never got any closer than shaking hands one time in 2014. Yet, I treated her with respect and love as the mother of our four biological children (now all in their thirties). I have always returned good for her evil (Romans 12:19-21). Although it is true that we cannot control what other people do, we can control how we behave. I don't love my former spouse because of who she is, but because of who I am.

I am not boasting, I am simply giving the only real life example I have of loving one's wife (before and after a divorce). I know people who maliciously hate their former spouse and want them dead. I simply cannot live that way and don't understand such kind of hatred. Life is too short to live with a burden of hatred. As I grow older, I choose to get better, not bitter!

Pastor Jack Hyles taught me these great Bible truths:

“If you have one person in this world, one, in or out of your family, who really cares for you; and will care for you when you mistreat them, and will care for you when you cannot give them a thing; if you have one person who cares for you with Bible care, you're above average.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Who Cares Anyway?” 

“If you really care about one person, you're above average.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Who Cares Anyway?”

“I believe any man in this world, can love any other man in this world, if he thinks right! The reason you hate is because you think hate. The reason you love is because you think love.” —Dr. Jack Hyles, a quote from the excellent MP3 sermon, “What The Law Could Not Do” (July 5, 1987 - First Baptist Church of Hammond, PM service)

“Receiving from people doesn't make you love them more; giving to people makes you love them more, because you have an investment there.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “How To Love"

“If you don't love your enemies, you have a baby love.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “The Test Of Spiritual Maturity"

“Let emotion in. Let tears in. You're missing life. Let love in! ...America's dying for a lack of love and compassion! And our churches are dying...” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Take The Shield Down”

God doesn't love us because of who WE ARE; God loves us because of who HE IS. A godly husband is to love his own wife because of who HE IS, not who SHE IS. This is (Greek: agape) love, or true Biblical love. Although God does not favor (Greek: phileo) sinners, He does agape all of them unconditionally.

Pastor Steven Anderson in a disturbing carnal sermon preached on Sunday evening, July 5th, 2026, publicly said that he wants his four oldest children DESTROYED. Something is very wrong with Pastor Anderson's heart. I humbly think he needs to resign and stop fighting the obvious, that he is a hateful person who woefully lacks the love of God for others.

Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) is right that you cannot be happy tomorrow! If you're unhappy today, then you will be unhappy tomorrow because when tomorrow comes it will be today again. The important lesson to learn is to learn to be happy today, in all situations. I took Brother Hyles' advice, trying to enjoy the moment and make the best of each day. Life will be over soon enough, and we cannot stop time from marching forward.

God commands husbands to love their wives. Easier said than done, I know. But it is what God desires for men to do. As a Bible preacher, I receive many e-mails from angry, hurting and frustrated husbands because of their rebellious wives. If marriage were easy there wouldn't be so many divorces. There is no magic solution.

God only gives us life in 24 hour increments, and I believe our good and wise Creator did that on purpose, knowing that every day should be a new day. If there were not 24 hours in a day, how could God have commanded us in Ephesians 4:26, “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” Each and every day ought to be a new day. For many husbands their marriage feels like a war of trying to win by attrition.

I sincerely believe that all God expects from any of us is that we do better each day than yesterday. When the adulterous woman (caught in the very act) in John chapter eight was dragged by the wicked Pharisees to Jesus' feet (why didn't they bring the man?), she must have trembled with great fear. But Jesus refused to condemn or revile her. Instead, Jesus forgave her and simply said in compassion: “Go and sin no more.” Just do better!

The best advice that I can give to Christian husbands is to constantly focus upon what God has done for you. Ephesians 4:30-32, “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.” I deserve to burn in Hell for my own sins. How could I deny the same forgiveness, compassion and kindness to my former spouse, when God has shown such amazing love, patience and grace toward a wretched sinner like me?

One of the greatest days of my life was decades ago when I just decided to forgive everybody who has ever hurt me, even those who have never apologized or sought my forgiveness; and I placed them all into God's hands for judgment, and I just decided to love them unconditionally with Christ's love. Since that time I have had peace like a river in my soul. Please don't mistake my oft criticisms of dead churches, corrupt Bible colleges and bad pastors as an unwillingness to forgive and let go; but rather, I do it for the sake of my readers. I am exposing evil and contending “for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 1:3).

Job 42:10, “And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.” Thank you for reading my ministry blog.

The Deception Of Cultural Christians

Matthew 7:13-15, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

Merely claiming to be a Christian, or joining a Christian organization, or partaking of a Christian culture, or ascribing to some Christian philosophies, or claiming to be a "Cultural Christian" (the latest bizarre trend) isn't the same as being born again.

I was shocked recently when I learned a new term, “Cultural Christian.” A "Cultural Christian" is someone who likes and embraces all the aspects of Christianity, but rejects the doctrine. Avowed atheist Dr. Richard Dawkins claims to be a Cultural Christian. You couldn't make this insanity up! That's like calling yourself a Cultural Republican, but then voting Democrat. Could the world get any crazier?

Elon Musk (an agnostic which effectively makes him an atheist) professes to be a Cultural Christian. A lot of people want all the goodness of Christianity, but without Jesus Christ. Sorry, it simply doesn't work that way. Without Christ there is no Christianity!

This is what a “modernist” is, someone who has never been born again but claims to be a Christian. Oprah Winfrey is also a modernist. Although Oprah claims to be a Christian, she does not believe Jesus is the only way to Heaven. What saith the Scripture?

Acts 4:10-12, “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

Like it or not, Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven, the only way to make peace with the Father. I witnessed to a Roman Catholic man once who literally cried while speaking about how much he loves God, but when I mentioned the precious name of Jesus (the name above every other name according to Philippians 2:9-11) he snarled and expressed contempt for the dear Savior. What saith the Scripture? 1st John 2:23, “Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.”

The term “Cultural Christian” is a misnomer. It should be called a “Fake Christian.” We are living in strange and wicked times when avowed atheists are becoming ordained pastors and claiming to be Christians. Yes, there are atheist pastors who have publicly renounced their faith while still engaging in ministry or community leadership roles. Sadly, Richard Dawkins, Elon Musk and Oprah Winfrey will split Hell wide open the moment they die, unless they repent of their unbelief and solely trust Christ to be saved. Some have even started new organizations or communities focused on secular values and support.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

We Are So Unimaginably Blessed Today

Psalms 107:31, “Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!”

If there has ever been a time in human civilization when people ought to be thankful to God with gratitude and appreciation, it is in these modern times of plenty and convenience.

20 Brutal Truths About How Pioneer Women Actually Smelled Like

I was indeed horrified after watching the preceding video. The average family in the 1800s lived in a 14' x 16' cabin for a home. Can you imagine? Today that is merely the size of an average large bedroom. We are so spoiled rotten compared to how humans lived centuries and millenniums ago. I understand that there are still many unfortunate people on the planet today, the poor, but the vast majority of us are living large in comparison to the 1800s and prior.

And in that 14' x 16' home they had no choice during those brutal winter months but to keep all their livestock animals inside the home. There was a makeshift wall of some sort that provided some separation but not from the foul odors. They kept pigs, chickens, goats and even a horse during extremely cold days, et cetera. The feces and urine from the animals saturated the ground beneath the straw, because there was no floor to the home. It was essentially a house and barn combined. Needless to say, they didn't place pee pads on the floor for their animals.

During frigid winter months, it was too cold for the family to use the outdoor toilet (a shed with a hole in the ground) in the wee hours of the morning. So, they kept a pot near or under their beds to defecate and urinate in, inside the house to use in the presence of family members, until the waste could be disposed of properly outside the next day. Can you imagine the smell?

The family wore the same uncleaned clothes for weeks at a time. There were no feminine products back then for women. Toilet paper was first marketed by Joseph C. Gayetty in the United States in 1857, and it was only available in certain areas, if you could afford it. And it wasn't double-ply comfortable toilet paper like we have today at Walmart. A pleasant smelling bar of soap was a rare commodity in the mid-1800s in the United States and Europe. Most people used lye mixed with animal fat, and that's how it stank. The lye would eat the skin off your hands if not used with caution. Bars of soap were given as gifts back then to your sweetheart, and she loved it! Today, a bar of soap means nothing 

The average American today uses about 80 gallons of water per day. Back then in the 1800s they had about 3 gallons per day, and that wasn't for bathing. There were no local hospitals. When you got sick you toughed it out at home and hoped you recovered. Pastor Jack Hyles' had two sisters who both died at age 7 at home like this. Times were harsh back then!

As I watched this shocking video about how women smelled back in the 1800s during primitive times in America, I thanked God repeatedly for putting my spirit into this body at this time in human civilization. Did you ever think about that? Why did God place my spirit into this particular family at this specific time in history? Perhaps I am thinking a bit too much, but the thought intrigues me as a human being. God could have placed my body into my uncle's (my father's older brother's) family, who was sadly killed during the Korean War (1950-1953).

Did you ever stop to realize that most of our freedoms were paid for with teenage blood? Most soldiers are just kids, barely 18 years of age. Millions of American teens shed their blood and sacrificed their lives so that we could enjoy freedom today. They never got married or became fathers, so that we could. THANK YOU to all of our nation's courageous veterans!

I frequently order things that I need from Amazon and Walmart. They bring it right to my front door, place the items on the outside table, ring my door bell, and leave. And wallah, whatever I want is delivered to me. Any order of at least $35 is free shipping from both Amazon and Walmart. I love it! I feel so blessed and spoiled rotten as an American today.

After watching this horrific video about poor hygrine conditions in the 1800s, and realizing that I can order over 12,000,000 products at the click of a mouse online from Amazon, I am bewildered and awestruck at God's goodness to Americans. Amazon sells over 600 million products across various categories. Most of these products are listed by third-party sellers, with only about 12 million sold directly by Amazon itself. I thank God to be an American, despite how messed up our country has become.

Most of the people on the planet don't have it so nice as we do in the United States, where we are free and blessed by God. Our economy is in bad shape, and inflation will continue to rise I assure you unless something drastic is done about it, but at least we have access to things that weren't even available to most people in the 1800s. We take so much for granted today. The following items simply weren't readily available in the 1800s: chocolate, toilet paper, soap, leather goods, feminine products, medications, et cetera.

Many items that we take for granted today were not readily available in the 1800s, such as canned goods, which only became common after the Civil War (1860-1865), and baking powder, which was sold commercially starting in the late 1860s. Other everyday items like processed foods and modern kitchen appliances were also not available during that time.

Many items we take for granted today were not readily available in the 1800s, such as canned goods, which only became common after the Civil War. Other everyday items like processed foods and modern kitchen appliances were also not available during that time.

Ready-made clothing did not exist in the 1700s as we know it today; most garments were custom-made or homemade. The concept of mass-produced clothing began to emerge later in the 19th century after the Civil War. So, for thousands of years you couldn't just go down to the nearest local retail store (e.g., Target, Walmart, JC Penny) to buy socks, underwear, shoes, pants, a dress, skirt or a shirt. Those simple things that we all take for granted today simply didn't exist for millenniums. Think about that dear reader!

The 1800s lacked many conveniences that we now consider essential. Canned foods became common only after the Civil War. The first commercially successful canned product was beans in tomato sauce, introduced by Van Camp in 1861. Baking powder was not available until the late 1860s. Prior to this, leavening was achieved using sour milk, molasses or other natural ingredients. Many processed foods we enjoy today did not exist. Items like hot dogs weren't introduced until the 1880s, and ketchup was first bottled by Heinz in 1876. Can you even imagine a world without ketchup? Modern kitchen appliances, such as electric mixers and refrigerators, were not invented yet. Cooking methods were much more labor-intensive, relying on basic tools and manual labor, which took several hours each day to prepare.

Anesthesia for surgery was first successfully demonstrated on October 16, 1846, when dentist William T.G. Morton used sulfuric ether during a surgical procedure at Massachusetts General Hospital. This marked a significant milestone in the history of medicine. Before anesthesia, doctors relied on speed and physical restraint to perform surgeries, often using alcohol or opium to dull pain. Patients were typically held down while undergoing procedures, which were extremely painful and traumatic. I cannot even imagine such horrors. That sounds more like popular “Saw” horror movies series. I THANK GOD for our modern medical technologies!

And yet, with all of our modern advancements in technology, we still cannot make an automated phone system that works properly. Go figure.

Modern man cannot build an affordable home security camera that can actually read a license plate number 40 feet away. I spent $2,200 for a GW Security camera system. My neighbour next door was robbed last year. My camera captured the thief's vehicle's license plate in their yard, but even at the highest quality settings, the video quality is so blurry that the license plate cannot even begin to be read. A decent security system starts at $15,000 and up.

It is tragic how corporate greed has ruined American society. I could write for hours about the inferior quality of so many things today—from the way that businesses and government agencies are poorly run, to the disgusting lack of quality in store bought bread today. Europeans make the best bread!

There is something very wrong with today's bread, that can sit for months in a bag and not mold. Today's bread can sit for months without molding due to the use of preservatives and emulsifiers that inhibit mold growth and staling. Yuk! Those additives make the bread hard. When I was a kid in the 1970s bread still began to mold after a few days, and that bread tasted great. I dread buying white bread anymore, because I cannot find even one loaf that is truly soft. I remember as a kid in Chicago eating Butternut brand of bread, which was super soft to touch. Those days are long gone!

Hey, but I am not complaining! In the 1800s, Victorian bakers added plaster of Paris to bread to whiten it and increase weight. They literally marched with their bare feet in the batch of dough to kneed it. Gross! Fresh Plaster of Paris foot-kneeded bread anyone?

The first public radio broadcast took place on January 13, 1910, from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, featuring a performance by tenor Enrico Caruso. Although the broadcast quality was poor, it marked the beginning of public radio broadcasting.

The first public demonstration of television occurred on January 27, 1926, in London by Scottish inventor John Logie Baird using a mechanical scanning system. The first commercially made electronic television was produced by Telefunken in Germany in 1934, but the first widely recognized television service began in the UK with the BBC in 1936. Early TVs were expensive luxury items, making them accessible primarily to the wealthy at that time. In 1946 only 6,000 wealthy American households owned a television, but by 1952 that number skyrocketed to 22 million households. Sadly, television has emptied the churches.

There were no radios or televisions in 1800s! These clever devices hadn't been invented yet, if you can imagine that. 2026 marks the centennial anniversary of the first television broadcast. We are living in amazing times of technology and information. Just yesterday on August 30th, 2026, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (NGRST) was launched from NASA. This innovative new telescope will take large photos so big that one image would require 3,000 digital television screens to display. As a fan of astronomy, I eagerly await the photos and data.

I hope I have given you a small glimpse into the not too distant past dear reader, so that you can even more appreciate how blessed we are today in the United States. God has been so good to us. And, remarkably, if you could go back in a Time Machine and talk with those people who struggled to survive throughout the 1800s and before, they would praise God and testify to the Lord's goodness to them.

“The expectation of nothing is the foundation of gratitude.” —Pastor Jack Hyles

And if those early pioneers could take a trip to our future in the same Time Machine, to see just how marvellous we live today, with exceptions, they would be absolutely astounded with disbelief. When I was growing up, it wasn't uncommon to see people surviving in cardboard boxes in utter poverty in some alley in Chicago. Today the homeless use tents right out in the open, in parks and on public sidewalks, et cetera. But the problem of homeless is not one of living in a bad time; but rather, the wickedness of a society who doesn't care about them. Proverb:30:14, “There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.”

If you take some time to think about the literally thousands of modern inventions, material items, conveniences and helps that we have available today, it is astounding to say the least. Psalms 145:9, “The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.”

YouTube Should Remove Inflammatory Racist Channel “Black Robe Stories”

James 2:8, “If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well.”

I don't like fictitious stories, some people do. Something that has bothered me for a long time is that there are thousands of fake video stories on YouTube. I was looking at banjos tonight and YouTube suggested a video for me to watch. I clicked on the video. It is a story about a corrupt judge and a black woman. This is a fake racist story intended to demonize white people. ...

Black Woman Fined By Judge, Who

Doesn't Know She's The Bar Association Leader

I listened to the story almost in its entirety, but then became curious if it was a true story, because it was so racist. I was saddened and a bit angered to see a disclaimer all the way at the bottom of the comment section, out of sight, saying that the story is fake. I think it is dishonest and shady. There should be an obvious warning at the beginning of each video, notifying the viewer that the content is not real. I'm sure that some people don't mind the deception, but I do, very much so. I hate being deceived by anyone for any reason.

The same “Black Robe Stories” YouTube channel fabricates racist videos portraying white people as racist bullies who prey upon blacks. The channel so far has posted 69 disgusting videos, and every video is a fictitious story about white people abusing blacks. This is racist to the core! Kindly said, I don't think YouTube should allow these type of inflammatory videos which discriminate against whites.

If someone made a YouTube channel portraying Jews or black people in a negative light, portraying Jews and blacks as bigoted racists, I'm sure YouTube would have removed and banned the channel permanently already for abuse. Why is YouTube allowing this channel to exist? That is just my humble opinion. I don't think anybody should be allowed to fabricate racist videos to demonize white people.

To see why videos like this are so dangerous, please watch this eye-opening speech given by Professor G. Edward Griffin back in 1969 titled, “More Deadly Than War: Revolution”...

More Deadly Than War - G. Edward Griffin

The subversive Luciferian powers behind the deliberate chaos and destruction of the United States want racial tension and division, and they create it. Only a mentally deranged person full of bigotry, racism and hatred would create several dozen fake videos that demonize whited and victimize blacks, instigating racial tension and division in society.

Remember, I didn't go looking for this garbage, YouTube dangled it in my face as a suggested video. Out of all the millions of videos YouTube could show me as a viewer, why promote racist videos that generate racial tension? I would have much preferred seeing more banjo videos.

The main thing that I want you to take away from this article dear reader, is to see that part of the Globalist's plan to form a sinister New World Order is to create public unrest, racial division, economic hardship and chaos. The Lucifierian elite (Satan's minions who pull the puppet strings in Washington DC, newsmedia, Hollywood, corporations, religions, et cetera) want a revolution.

Syndicated radio host Alex Jones in 1998 made an eye-opening 2-hour video titled, “America: Destroyed By Design.” I believe that out of the chaos and ashes of the United States will arise the Man of Sin, Antichrist. Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) clearly saw this development, which he explains in this insightful 1970 sermon titled, “Why The Antichrist Must Come Soon.” 

Revelation 17:10-11 teach that the the 8th king (Antichrist) will arise from the 7th king (which I believe is the now forming New World Order). The United States has never been more divided on so many issues than it is today. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Remember, I didn't go looking for this garbage, YouTube dangled it in my face as a suggested video. Out of all the millions of videos YouTube could show me as a viewer, why promote racist videos that generate racial tension? I would have much preferred seeing more banjo videos.

The Corrupt Gospel According To Dolly Parton

1st John 4:1, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”

As you already likely know, Dolly Parton (1946-2026) died last Tuesday. A lot of people are curious about the famous country singer's religious beliefs, now that she has died at age 80.

I came across something disturbing today called, “The Gospel According To Dolly.” The Gospel According To Dolly is a neo-evangelical church series (which started on October 19, 2022) that uses Dolly Parton’s life and songs to talk about suffering, joy and longing for “home.” It began as a three-part series, drawing on how she grew up with Bible stories and church music in Tennessee. But there is a more sinister aspect to the series.

According to the Progressive Church Media website in an article titled, “The Gospel According To Dolly Parton,” it reads:

A Gospel for Our Time

In an increasingly polarized world, Dolly Parton transcended cultural divides, not by avoiding difficult issues but by leading with empathy. She reminded us that progressive Christianity must be both inclusive and deeply rooted in action. For pastors and ministry leaders, Dolly Parton’s faith offers a fresh lens through which to explore how to share the gospel—not just in word, but in deed. SOURCE

In layman's language, that means deteriorating Christianity in America needs to embrace the Satanic homosexual movement. What you just read from the Progressive Church Media is evil propaganda! They are teaching that we should compromise like Dolly Parton did, to share God's love via accepting unrepentant homosexuals and their filthy deathstyle. This is a FALSE gospel. What saith the Scripture? James 4:4, “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” Kindly said, Dolly Parton was God's enemy.

If You Truly Follow Jesus, The World Will Hate You

2nd Timothy 3:12, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” Do you know what it means to “live godly in Christ Jesus”? It means that you refuse to go along with the sinful world. 1st Peter 4:4-5, “Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you. Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.” Dolly pandered to the wicked world, going along to get along, dipping her sails, and the heathen world loved her for it (John 15:19). They're about to rename the Nashville International Airport after Dolly.

In April of 2022, at age 76, Dolly Parton appeared on the “Worklife with Adam Grant” podcast, in which she wickedly stated: “I modeled my looks on the town tramp,” flaunting her rebellion against God's command for females to dress modestly. Dolly proudly declared: “I look like a Jezebel.” She sinfully appropriated a popular Christian fundamentalist term of derision as a badge of honor. The inspired Holy Bible commands women to adorn themselves in “modest apparel” (1st Timothy 2:9-10). Proverbs 7:10 condemns “the attire of an harlot.” What Dolly Parton sinfully mocks and jests at, brings the judgment of God (Colossians 3:5-6; Romans 1:32; Matthew 5:28; Jude 1:7; Hebrews 13:4).

Dolly's Corrupt Gospel Is Devoid Of The True Gospel

Furthermore, looking at the preceding quote again from Progressive Church Media, please notice that there was no mention of the actual “Gospel” (i.e., Jesus death on the cross, His burial, and bodily resurrection from the dead three days later) anywhere in Dolly Parton's world. The ONLY true Gospel is found in the Holy Bible in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4. There is no such thing as: “The Gospel According To Dolly Parton.” Wicked sinners are attempting to spread Dolly's toxic philosophy that we should just love and be nice to everyone, regardless of how wicked they live their lives, while claiming some shallow faith in a ambiguous non-specific higher power, and that's The Corrupt Gospel According To Dolly Parton.

2nd Timothy 3:5, “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” According to Romans 1:16 that saving “power” is the Gospel (the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen). I am sick and fed up and tired of hearing celebrities talk about faith in a higher power from within one's self (new age heresy), which is all Dolly Parton ever talked about, but there is no faith in the Gospel truth. ...

“We all believe in God, and we’re very close.” —Dolly Parton

James 2:19, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”

It is clear from Dolly's unbiblical comment, “We are all God's children,” that she has never been born again:

“I know [trans people] and love them all, and I do not judge… And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important [gender-affirming care] is to them. That’s who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there’s something to be judged, that is God’s business. But we are all God’s children and how we are is who we are.”

First of all, we are not all God's children. Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” Unless you have been born anew from above by God's Holy Spirit in response to your faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you are not a child of God.

Secondly, I do not believe that homosexuals cannot help what they are. If that be true, then God made a mistake by forbidding the sinful practice of homosexuality. The Bible strongly condemns homosexuality as a vile sin that goes against the laws of nature (Romans 1:24-32). I am not saying that Christians should bash or be unkind to LGBTQ people, God forbid. We should love everyone and be kind to others, but we should also make it clear to those around us that we openly reject such wickedness and will not sanction or celebrate sodomy. Romans 1:25, “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.”

I have been around homosexuals in public, and they always seek acceptance from others, especially Christians. Over my dead body! I will never remain silent if I have a say in the matter. I will speak up. As a Christian who fears God, I would never form a close personal friendship with a homosexual. That is not bigotry, that is Biblical separation from the heathen world (Psalms 1:1; Proverbs 1:10; 2nd Corinthians 6:14-17).

Practicing homosexuals want to be openly accepted by society, even as members in good standing in local churches, and that is evil dear reader. Any church that openly accepts homosexuals and refuses to preach against the sin of homosexuality is the Devil's church. I am of the belief that everyone should be welcomed to come to a church, but they are going to hear me preach against all sins if I am the pastor, including homosexuality, if they attend. 1st Timothy 5:20, “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.”

To Dolly Parton entertainment was her God. I find no evidence whatsoever that she ever became a born again child of God. Dolly's popular so-called “gospel” has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus' death, burial and resurrection; but rather, to embrace homosexuals and all walks of life while merely professing to be a “person of faith.” That's exactly what Satan does to deceive his victims, masquerading as an angel of light (2nd Corinthians 11:13-15).

Dolly Parton's so-called “gospel” is not the true Gospel of 1st Corinthians 15:1-4. It is a ruse to further creep the homosexual agenda into the churches, which sinister plot I assure you will ultimately fail and bring the wrathful judgment of God. Hebrews 10:31, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
