Newsom’s California rebels against Romans 13 (KNCL 17)

California Family Council reports that Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB1078 into law, making it a fineable offense for California public schools to listen to the will of parents and protect students from affirming LGBTQ and racist (CRT) sins. This Canceled Christian Comment is vital for California parents and it’s of extreme importance to all Christians who take Romans 13 seriously.

Strong Soldiers of Christ


In our confused culture of politically correct sensitivity, where “kindness” has been weaponized by Satan to silence Truth, the Christian needs to be a strong soldier of Christ. It’s okay to be confident of the truth you have received. Speaking against the lies of false doctrine is good and right. You need not be ashamed of the Truth.

This is the video version of my October 2023 letter to the members of St. Mark Lutheran Church in Ferndale, CA. While the particulars rely on the context of our lives together, I pray that the message will bless anyone who watches this video.

Who Sows Division, the Orthodox or the Heterodox? | Cross Defense

Listen every Saturday at 9 AM (Pacific) at KFUO.org or on your favorite podcast app.

Is it the doctor who causes the discord in the cancer patient’s heart? Is it the cop who stirs up dissension for the driver guilty of speeding? Likewise, is it the faithful pastor and/or layman who sows division when he addresses the false teachings of false teachers? Let’s dive into Scripture to find out. Rev. Francis Pieper offers us wisdom from Vol. III of Christian Dogmatics as well.

Woman “Pastor” Preaches Pagan Prosperity Gospel at Ferndale Community Church


As a called and ordained pastor, I take my job seriously, which means I’m willing to be considered mean and unchristian for the sake of God’s lambs who are being devoured by Scripture-twisting wolves. Part of the job of shepherding is standing in the gap, teaching truth and condemning lies. After I tried, without success, to reason from Scripture with Pastor Porter of Ferndale Community Church, I decided to make this video as part of an effort of denouncing the waywardness in our community, for the sake of the people of God who live in Ferndale and are being slow-boiled into thinking a friendly female pastor isn’t shameful and a direct, sinful rejection of the apostolic teachings we’ve been entrusted to guard for our neighbors’ sake.

“Pastor” Jen Campbell of Journey Church in Rio Dell, CA, was invited by Pastor Daniel Porter to preach at Ferndale Community Church. She explains how she knows she was called to be a pastor and then preaches the prosperity gospel. Open your Bibles and let’s take a look at what she said in the name of Jesus.

Female Pastors are a Satanic Lie | Cross Defense

Listen every Saturday at 9 AM (Pacific) at KFUO.org or on your favorite podcast app.

The church down the street claims that the Bible is trustworthy and the final authority for faith and conduct, so why do they have women pastors? Let’s look at 1 Corinthians 14:33-35 and 1 Timothy 2:11-15. Paul wasn’t speaking culturally. He was instructing the Church as Jesus Christ’s apostle, inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Amillennialism: Ten Points to Consider when Studying Revelation 20 | Cross Defense

Listen every Saturday at 9 AM (Pacific) at KFUO.org or on your favorite podcast app.

The burden of proof is on the millennialist to show that Revelation 20’s thousand years are literal—according to the church’s historic hermeneutical principles. Rev. Theodore Graebner was much closer to the rise of today’s modern millennialist teachings than we are and helps us see through the forest of false teachers to deal with the common error that they all hold: the millennium.

Bold Like St. Boniface

This is the video version of Pastor Bramwell’s August 2023 letter to St. Mark.

This isn’t the first time in history that the Christian Church has faced off against pagans and their idol worship. We can show them their idols are not gods. But it will take courage and perseverance. St. Boniface is a good example.

This is the video version of my September 2023 letter to the members of St. Mark Lutheran Church in Ferndale, CA. While the particulars rely on the context of our lives together, I pray that the message will bless anyone who watches this video.
