Candace Owens Threatened with Jail Time? | Ex-Trump Adviser’s Shocking Statement"

Silencing Candace? Why Free Speech is Under Fire in the Israel Debate” In what should have been a moment of reflection on the state of free speech in America, we were instead met with something much more alarming: a call for imprisonment—or even deportation—for those who dare to criticize Israel. David Freedman, a former adviser to Donald Trump, recently suggested that conservative commentator Candace Owens should face prison time or be deported for voicing views critical of the Israeli government. This bombshell comes in response to the ongoing protests at Harvard and other major universities, where students have begun questioning America's unwavering support of Israel, especially amid the conflict in Gaza. Freedman’s argument is centered around Donald Trump’s proposal to defund Harvard unless it quells the anti-Israel protests on campus. But he takes it further, implying that figures like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson—both of whom have openly criticized Israel—deserve to be...

When Pastors Smoke Weed and preach the Word: A Wake-Up Call to the Church

By Dr. Vincent Rhodes | Coffee with Jesus Talk I never thought I’d see the day. A man—calling himself a pastor —took pages from the Holy Bible, ripped them out, rolled them up, and used them to light a joint. This isn’t a parody. It’s not satire. It actually happened. And if it doesn’t grieve your spirit or stir your soul, then maybe it’s time to check your spiritual pulse. This isn't just a moment of madness. It's a sign of the times . The Desecration of the Sacred For generations, the Bible has been treated with reverence. It has been the foundation of faith, the anchor of truth, and the living Word of God. But in today’s upside-down world, even the sacred isn’t safe from desecration. A Bible isn't just a book. It’s not some disposable relic of an ancient religion. It’s the living breath of God —spoken, written, and preserved for generations to know Him. So when someone—especially a pastor—uses those pages for a high, it’s not just rebellion. It’s blasphemy . This...

Dr. W. B. Clark and the 1909 Cancer-Public Health Debate: Parasites as a Cause?

In the early 20th century, as medical science continued to evolve, a variety of theories emerged about the origins and causes of cancer. One of the more controversial voices in this conversation was Dr. W. B. Clark , a physician who, in 1909 , boldly declared that parasites were the primary cause of cancer . His views sparked both intrigue and skepticism within the scientific community, highlighting the tensions between emerging medical theories and established norms of the time. Who Was Dr. W. B. Clark? Dr. W. B. Clark was a practicing physician in Indiana, active during a period when cancer research was still in its infancy. Although not a household name today, he contributed to the growing body of medical speculation and debate surrounding the nature of cancer. At the time, cancer was poorly understood, and treatments were rudimentary at best. Researchers explored a wide range of causes, from environmental factors to heredity — and in Clark's case, infectious organisms . The Par...

The Atrocity of King Leopold: The Horrific Torture of Congolese Children

The Atrocity of King Leopold: The Horrific Torture of Congolese Children History often glosses over the true horror of colonial rule, dressing it in the garb of “civilizing missions” and economic development. But behind the veil of so-called progress lies a chapter soaked in the blood of innocence. One of the most brutal and chilling examples is the reign of King Leopold II of Belgium over the Congo Free State — a period marked by unimaginable cruelty, especially toward children. A Kingdom of Terror From 1885 to 1908, King Leopold II personally owned and ruled the Congo Free State, not as a colony of Belgium, but as his private property. Under the guise of humanitarianism and philanthropy, he established a reign of terror that stripped the land of its resources and the people of their dignity. The primary goal: rubber and ivory. The price: human lives. To maximize rubber production, Leopold’s private army, the Force Publique , enforced brutal quotas on villages. Failure to meet the...

Lefties Losing It: Snow White actress Rachel Zegler’s ‘massive backflip’

Once Upon a Woke Time… There was a time when Disney enchanted audiences with stories that transcended time—tales of courage, hope, and yes, true love. But in 2025, Snow White —a reboot of the beloved 1937 classic—hit the box office not with a magical bang, but a dismal thud. Critics panned it, audiences stayed away, and even loyal Disney fans were left scratching their heads. Why did it fail? Was it poor marketing? A saturated market? Or could it be that Disney forgot the golden rule: stay out of politics, and let the story shine ? When the Princess Doesn’t Believe in Princes Much of the backlash can be traced to the film’s star, Rachel Zegler. Long before the movie hit theaters, clips surfaced of Zegler dismissing the original Snow White tale. She stated in interviews that the story was outdated, mocked the idea of being “saved by a prince,” and emphasized that her version of Snow White was “not dreaming about true love.” Now, let’s pause for a second. It’s one thing to adapt a...

Is March Madness Just a Game? Finding Meaning in the Mayhem

 Every spring, millions are glued to their screens, clutching busted brackets and cheering for buzzer-beaters. It's March Madness—the NCAA basketball tournament that turns casual fans into passionate analysts and underdogs into legends. But beyond the slam dunks and Cinderella stories, could there be something deeper going on? What if the madness isn’t just about basketball… but about life? In the unpredictability of the tournament, we can find echoes of our own spiritual journey: perseverance, faith, hope, and the fight to rise when all odds are against us. Let’s dive into how March Madness reflects biblical truths—and explore some meaningful ways to celebrate this season with purpose and fun. 🧭 Blog Outline: 1. The Underdog Spirit: David vs. Goliath Talk about how we’re drawn to the underdog stories. Compare small schools upsetting giants to David’s faith when he faced Goliath. Mention how God often uses the least expected people to accomplish great things. 🛍...

The Firmament: Crafted by Spirit – A Closer Look at Esdras Vision

 Day Two of creation often gets overlooked because of, well, the prevailing heliocentric globe Earth model. While it might be popular to yield to the scientific narrative, I’m choosing to spend some time reflecting on what the Bible actually states about the Earth and the firmament—from a biblical perspective. In our previous post, we talked about how Genesis describes the firmament as a divider of waters—waters above and beneath . But there’s another fascinating, lesser-known parallel found in 2 Ezra 6:41 , an apocalyptic book attributed to the prophet and priest Ezra: “Again, on the second day, you did create the spirit of the firmament and did command him to divide and separate the waters, that one part might move upward and the other part remained beneath.” This verse introduces an astonishing concept: the firmament was not just created as a structure—it was infused with spirit . Ezra doesn’t describe the firmament as merely a solid dome or vault. Instead, he refers to t...

The Lights in the Firmament: Day Four and the Divine Calendar

  Day Four of the creation account is one of the most fascinating and theologically rich moments in all of Scripture. In the Genesis narrative, God turns our attention upward once again—this time, to the celestial bodies that He places in the firmament of heaven. As we continue our biblical exploration of creation, let’s look closely at what the Bible says happened on the fourth day—and why it matters. “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.” (Genesis 1:14, KJV) The Lights Were Placed “In” the Firmament Notice the language here. God places the sun, moon, and stars in the firmament—not in deep space, not orbiting around a rotating sphere, but within the very structure He established on Day Two. This isn't just a poetic choice of words; it's a clear description of divine placement. The firmament is not a metaphor. It's a real, created structur...

Rediscovering the Firmament – What Day Two of Creation Really Reveals

Day two of creation often gets overlooked because of, well, the prevailing heliocentric globe earth model. While it might be popular to yield to the scientific model, I'd like to spend some time discussing what the Bible states about the earth from a biblical perspective. For many of us raised in church, we were taught Genesis as the foundation of our faith—but rarely were we encouraged to take it literally when it came to how the earth was formed. Instead, the Genesis narrative has been increasingly spiritualized or explained away to fit within modern scientific theories. But what if we allowed Scripture to speak for itself, without forcing it through the lens of secular science? On day two of creation, God said: “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” (Genesis 1:6, KJV) The word “firmament” here comes from the Hebrew word “raqia” , which means something solid, stretched out like a vault. It’s described as separatin...

Are These Protests Paid and Political? Discerning the Times Through a Biblical Lens

Are These Protests Paid and Political? Discerning the Times Through a Biblical Lens In a time when headlines are filled with accusations, protests, and political noise, believers are left asking— what is really going on, and how should we respond as followers of Christ? This week, thousands of people gathered in all 50 states for the “Hands Off” protests—demonstrations targeting former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Reports have circulated online suggesting that these protests are not organic, but orchestrated and funded by political donors like George Soros, through groups such as Indivisible and MoveOn . Some have gone even further—accusing these organizers of paying people to protest. Is This True? As of now, there is no public admission or credible evidence that these protests are “paid” in the way many social media posts suggest . While it is true that organizations like Indivisible receive donations from progressive donors (including George Soros), and that they ...

Victory Beyond the Pitch: Faith Lessons from Real Madrid vs. Valencia

  "Victory Beyond the Pitch: Faith Lessons from Real Madrid vs. Valencia" As millions tuned in to watch Real Madrid take on Valencia, fans were swept up in the passion, intensity, and strategic brilliance of the game. Every pass, every goal, every defensive stand had us on the edge of our seats. But for believers watching this match, there’s an even deeper story unfolding—a spiritual lesson hidden beneath the roar of the crowd and the flash of the scoreboard. 1. The Battle Is Real – On the Field and in Faith Just as players on both teams prepared for physical battle, we as Christians are reminded that we are in a daily spiritual battle. There’s an adversary working overtime to block our goals and distract us from our calling. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers... against spiritual wickedness in high places.” The discipline, strategy, and awareness required on the field mirror what is expected of...

Pastor Robert Morris Arrested? The Truth Behind the Shocking Claims!"

Pastor Robert Morris Arrested? The Truth Behind the Shocking Claims! In recent days, the internet has been buzzing with shocking allegations against Pastor Robert Morris. For years, he has been a respected voice in the Christian community, leading Gateway Church and influencing millions with his teachings on generosity, faith, and biblical living. However, new claims have surfaced, calling into question his past and shaking the foundation of his legacy. A Tree and Its Fruit – What Defines a Person? Jesus made it clear in Matthew 7:16-20 : "You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit." This passage challenges us to evaluate a person’s character not by isolated moments but by the overall pattern of their life. Looking at Pastor Morris, we see decades of ministry, charitable work...

T. D. Jakes Breaks His Silence About the Allegations

T.D. Jakes Breaks His Silence About the Allegations – A Reaction Video In a recent interview on The Today Show , Bishop T.D. Jakes addressed the swirling allegations of sexual assault, firmly denying them and calling attention to the way media narratives have shaped public perception. Despite major outlets like Snopes and TMZ classifying these as mere allegations without evidence, Jakes expressed frustration that his name continues to be tarnished. The Weight of Public Scrutiny One of the most striking points Jakes made during the interview was that many people see him as an opportunity rather than a human being . As a public figure and prominent Christian leader, he is no stranger to scrutiny. However, he believes that the digital age has made it easier for falsehoods to spread unchecked, leading him to consider legal action against those who have defamed him online. His words point to a broader issue—how social media has become both a platform for free speech and a tool for ch...

Marvin Sapp: A Fair Critique or Unjust Judgment?

Marvin Sapp: A Fair Critique or Unjust Judgment? Pastors are not perfect. They are human like the rest of us, subject to the same temptations, weaknesses, and misjudgments. However, because of their high calling, they are often held to an even higher standard—sometimes unrealistically so. Throughout history, there have been pastors who have fallen from grace, misused their influence, or even taken advantage of their congregations. This has led many to view clergy with skepticism, questioning their motives, particularly when it comes to finances. Marvin Sapp, a well-respected gospel artist and pastor, has found himself under scrutiny for his approach to raising an offering. Some have questioned whether his methods were appropriate or manipulative, while others argue that the backlash he faces is a result of cultural norms that have shifted in the age of social media. As believers, we must ask: Was there truly wrongdoing, or is this simply a misunderstanding? The Power of Perception Soci...
