I have a question, why is Sean Hannity’s reversal on the premeditated murder of children “stunning?”

Really. I’m serious. Do we not see, hear, and understand that the overwhelming majority of Americans professing to be Christians are in truth disciples of America, disciples of the Republican party, and disciples of worldly politics, culture, and affairs? Rather than the disciples of Christ as proclaimed?

How can I write such things? Easy. Through observation, careful consideration, a foundation in the whole inerrant Word of God, and the ability to be objective rather than indoctrinated, brainwashed, and swept up in the day-to-day whirlwind of the world’s ways and doctrines.

Which has led me to see and understand a so-called professed Christian conservative, a Republican will compromise, yield, bend, adopt, accept, approve, and accommodate almost anything that comes along, eventually, in order to try and win an election. To gain power.

There are no gray areas. No off-ramps. No exits. No alternatives. No funding, no little white lies. No delusion permitted. No other options. It is all clear. It is all easy to understand. It is all black and white. No gray.

No compromise with God.

There ought not to be any compromise with God’s people. And with God’s true children, there is none.

For the Word reigns far above the words, doctrines, beliefs, philosophies, and ideologies of passing men and women and their desire to invoke their illusionary power that is like a vapor.

In our time many professed Christians, so-called conservatives, Republicans, and Americans, are nothing more than pretenders of the faith rather than defenders of the faith, contending for the faith!

They are whores for ratings, revenue, profit, personal gain, influence, and power. Like a Pharisee. Like those they condemn. Like looking in a mirror for them, isn’t it?

It’s all about here and now. Assumed power and control.

Yet they profess to be disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, children of God.

This is the ill state, the spiritually diseased condition of what passes for Christianity in America today. And if asked? I do believe Sean Hannity would adamantly claim to be a Christian, as would the legions that profess to be disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, thus a “Christian,” that places American politics, gaining power, attaining influence and material wealth, status would also — well above defending the faith, contending for the faith.

For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Jude 1:4

Certain people have crept in unawares, who were long ago designated for such condemnation, ungodly people appearing as godly, who pervert the truth and ways of God into their own religion, their own doctrines, which are of this sinful world, and in doing so they truly deny the only Master, the only Lord, the only Way to Truth, Life, and Illumination, the Lord Jesus Christ!

Many of them appear daily, nightly on your television.

On the radio.

Standing at the pulpit of your church.

Sitting in the pews.

More concerned with winning an election. Gaining what appears worldly power. Making those things their priority rather than the kingdom of God. And no matter what may be uttered, by their fruit they are and will be known.

“Thus says the Lord…” 

Imagine what tomorrow will bring since this day has trouble of its own more than yesterday…

Sean Hannity calls for ‘legal’ abortion in stunning reversal of pro-life stance

‘Republicans have gotta say’ that abortion should be ‘legal’ and ‘rare,’ Hannity said, quoting Bill Clinton.

(LifeSiteNews) — In American politics, abortion is the issue that reveals the most about the character of men and women claiming to be conservatives.

To be pro-life, after all, is to recognize that abortion is an act of violence that ends the life of an innocent, helpless child in the womb, and to advocate protections for these children. Abortion is not merely an issue; it is the defining moral issue of our day. If you’re willing to sell out the most vulnerable, how can you be trusted on anything else? 

Or as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis put it, “The people that aren’t supportive of the life cause, they’re not people you want to be in a foxhole with on any other political battle. They are the first ones who will sell out to the D.C. establishment when the going gets tough.” 

Many so-called pro-life Republicans were happy to use the prospect of overturning Roe v. Wade to drive socially conservative voters to the polls year after year, even when many of those voters weren’t particularly happy about many other aspects of the GOP’s agenda. But since the fall of Roe, many seem to be backing away from the issue, worried that it might cost them votes. Trump has done it; so has his opponent, Chris Christie, and plenty of others. Many appear to be far more worried about losing votes than losing lives. 

Frustratingly, even some commentators are buying into the idea that pro-life laws turn off voters, despite the fact that governors who passed the strictest abortion bans were re-elected in wide margins even as populist candidates lost their bids. On Fox News last week, Sean Hannity pointed to the referendum vote in Ohio last Tuesday – in which voters rejected a ballot measure that would have raised the threshold for amending the state constitution from a mere majority to 60 percent – as evidence that pro-life policies might be a loser. 

“We saw the vote in Ohio,” he told his guests, Mike Huckabee and Tudor Dixon. “The fear among many, many conservatives is this [a 15-week abortion ban] will chase away many suburban voters. Do you agree with that, Mike Huckabee?”

Huckabee’s reply was bang on: “I do not. I think the problem is Republicans have done a very pitiful job of explaining that the difference is we want to protect life, Democrats want to take it right up to the point of birth. They want to butcher a fully developed child. We’ve got to take it to the Democrats. Quit playing defense. Let’s be clear about what we stand for.” 

Dixon differed, suggesting that Republicans essentially abandon the fight for pre-born rights: “Their message is very strong on this. They’ve won over women. We saw it. We just saw it in Ohio. We have to start fighting on the cultural side of it, and we have to fight on the issues that matter to people politically on the political side in a different way.”  

Again, I have to note here: she’s incorrect. As I noted in my analysis on the Michigan referendum last fall, we face three primary challenges in direct democracy initiatives: the abortion movement’s massive war chest; media collusion in lies about women dying as a result of abortion laws; and the refusal of some pro-life groups to actually address the truth about abortion head-on. (I discussed all of these issues, as well as the recent referendum results, with Ohio’s top pro-life leader, Mark Harrington of Created Equal, on my LifeSiteNews podcast this week.)

Closing out the segment, Hannity went even further than Dixon. “I think the American people – and I consider myself pro-life, I believe in the sanctity of life, but I think politically that there is – Republicans have gotta say as Bill Clinton once said – I never thought I’d quote him – ‘rare,’ ‘legal,’” he said. “And I’d add the word[s], ‘very early in a pregnancy.’ That seems to be – politically – where the country is. Maybe I’m wrong. But we’ll see. That vote in Ohio is pretty, pretty sobering.” 

I seem to remember a different Hannity from back in the day when I was a teen following conservative politics. So a moment ago, I headed over to my bookshelf and grabbed a copy of his 2002 anti-Clinton book Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism. I flipped to the chapter on abortion. Here’s what Hannity wrote:

Protecting life is deeply important to me. It was important to me before my wife and I had kids but is even more so now because the stakes are so high. There is no more important issue.

That’s how plenty of Republicans used to talk before Roe v. Wade fell. Over the next couple of years, we’re going to find out who really believed it.
