Turning Point USA
May 7, 2026
The following is expanded from the edition that was first published in Friday Church News Notes, September 26, 2025:
Turning Point USA is a powerful conservative political organization that is doing good on that front, but God’s people need to beware of the organization’s radical ecumenism and its one-world church building agenda. It is not merely a political organization, and Turning Point ecumenism is potentially harmful for Bible-believing homes and churches. Turning Point USA is a bridge to every heresy in the “wider church” today, including a sacramental gospel, Mariolatry, the papacy, priestcraft, theistic evolution, process salvation, universalism, new Reformed Calvinism, cultural liberalism, and contemplative prayer.

ON THE ISRAEL STATE’S 78TH ANNIVERSARY NETANYAHU SAYS ISRAEL IS “STRONGER THAN EVER” (Friday Church News Notes, May 1, 2026, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - On Israel’s 78th Independence Day ceremony, April 21, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel has “risen like a lion and fought like one” and “is stronger than ever” (“Under the stars of Mount Herzl,” Israel Today, Apr. 22, 2026). He described the current period as a “generation of revival.” Netanyahu is smart, courageous, persistent, and has done a lot of good for his nation. But what he does not know, because he is blind to the true meaning of Scripture, is that Israel has been preserved by God in her apostasy and is back in the land in apostasy.

Music Driven Revolution: Black and White
April 29, 2026 (first published October 31, 2024)
There is a sound track to end-time apostasy, and it is the electronic pop music that blasted onto the scene in the 1950s and took over Western culture in the 1960s. (Pop music began at the turn of the 20th century with ragtime, blues, boogie woogie, and jazz, but the technology of the 45 rpm record, the cassette player, the transistor radio, the Sony mp3 player, and the iPhone has exploded the power and influence of the music.)
Pop music videos are the most popular YouTube videos. The total views of the top 29 music videos in 2015 was 26 billion, and most of them they are filthy.

“We were mightily blessed in answer to prayer in July 2024 at our Bible Conference at Northside Baptist Church, Adelaide, with Bro. David Cloud. There were 22 messages on Understanding Bible Prophecy. I think it was our best Bible conference to date.”
“Bro. Cloud, I just wanted to thank you for putting together the Memory Verse Journal on your website. It has been such a blessing to meditate on and memorize these selected verses from the Word of God as part of my personal Bible study program. I had the privilege of learning many of these Scriptures throughout my life growing up in a Christian home, but I didn't ever really study them in depth in this way.

THE IDEOLOGICAL UNDERPINNINGS OF THE IRANIAN REGIME (Frida Church News Notes, April 24, 2026, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - The following is excerpted from “The Ideological Underpinnings,” Israel Today, Apr. 17, 2026: “It is often assumed that policymakers in Washington fully understand the ideological foundations of the Iranian regime. That assumption is questionable. Iran’s governing system is not simply authoritarian or generically theocratic; it reflects a distinctive synthesis of religious doctrine, revolutionary theory and anti-colonial thought. This ideological framework shapes both how the mullahs govern internally and how the country’s government positions itself in the world.

THE PRESIDENT VS.

The pope called for an end to the Iran war and suggested that “delusion of omnipotence” is the driving factor. The pope said, “Enough of war.” Trump called the pope “weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy” and stated on his social media, “I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon.” We would make the following observations. (1) Trump, with all his imperfections, is a duly elected ruler of a nation and operates under the authority of Romans 13. The pope is a usurper who has zero authority from God.

This is the Greek oikouros, which is a combination ofoikos (home) and ouros (a keeper).

It is a strong word, meaning master of the house, governor, manager. This was the role that Joseph had under Potiphar. “... he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand” (Ge. 39:4).
