About

Per Fidem Intrepidus means "Fearless Through Faith". My courage isn't my own, it comes from the Holy Spirit, it's my faith in God and my personal savior Christ Jesus that calms my fears and allows me to move forward in this fallen world. Personally I'm afraid of a lot of stuff, but having the faith that Jesus adopted me as his little, sin filled, brother keeps me going.

New York State Advocates Murder

Christ Jesus, my Lord and Savior, please forgive us for
not stopping this nightmare.
There is no denying it, the New York State assembly has succombed to the forces of Satan advocating the slaughter of innocent babies just hours from birth. 

The New York State Assembly voted a resounding 94-49 Wednesday to approve a bill that would allow third trimester abortions using procedures such as a shot of poison to the baby's heart by medical professionals who won't necessarily be doctors. 

The bill, AB 6221, sponsored by New York Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, would change existing New York State law, which currently allows for abortion in the third trimester only when the mother’s life is in danger, to allow abortion on-demand throughout all nine months. AB 6221 has no interest in the life and wellbeing of the infant just moments away from birth, it is solely intent on stripping away any protections the smallest members of our human family have.

"I walk through this sinful world as a 
pilgrim in a foreign country" - CH Spurgeon
A “Molotov Cocktail” was thrown at pro-life activists praying outside of an Austin Planned Parenthood abortion facility. The so called "Pro Choice" crowd is becoming more "Anti Life" every day.

The “Christian” Left supports killing the happiest people in the world. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if they came up with the 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Be Inconvenienced.

I AM NOT calling Barack Hussein Obama antisemitic, I'll let his own actions do that for me. it's not hard to see his hatred for Israel which borders on the maniacal, even treasonous. (Yes, I said treason, and yes, we are in a state of war against terrorist nations.)

Jealous of all those folks grooving to Joel Osteen and Creflo Dollar but you can't because you don't understand how to get your heresy on? Is that's what's troubling you bunkie? Well! Have no fear because the Messed Up Church blog has a dummies guide to putting False Doctrine in your life!

Speaking of False Doctrine, you're going to have to find another way to get a warm, fuzzy, incredibly unscriptural description of heaven because LifeWay has pulled all heaven tourism books off their shelves. You'll just have to get your unscriptural, heretical, apostate, nonsense the old fashion way.

Tim Tebow is still a winner.

Freedom of speech does not apply to Christians in the UK.

Benny Hinn claims to be a faith healer, so why doesn't he just self medicate?

I've probably learned more about eschatology by reading False Christ: Will the Antichrist Claim to Be the Jewish Messiah? by Chris White than any other single source (outside of the bible). His reasoning is sound, solidly biblical, and well researched. I can't wait to read Mystery Babylon – When Jerusalem Embraces The Antichrist. Chris brings into question many popular eschatological theories (such as Mystery Babylon = the Roman Catholic Church or the Antichrist will be a Muslim leader) by reminding us and proving scripturally 'it's all about Israel'.

In the same vein, I've also learned more about my Christian faith (and my former Papist faith) by reading Preparing for Eternity by Mike Gendron. It's a well written, factual, and scriptural comparison of the teachings of God as related in His word, the bible, and the traditions of the Catholic church which are quite often in conflict. Mike's assertions are not made up, each point he makes is exquisitely referenced in the Bible and the Roman Catholic Church's own catechism. There is no error, falsehood, or deception here, it's simply the word of God and how it's been distorted by man's tradition. And for many the truth is hard to take.

5 Reasons to Rejoice in Persecution - Tim Challies


5 Reasons to Rejoice in Persecution - Tim Challies
March 24, 2015

(Tim Challies is a husband to Aileen and a father to three children aged 9 to 15 and serves as pastor at Grace Fellowship Church in Toronto, Ontario (a long swim but a short drive from my home town in western New York) He is a a book reviewer for WORLD magazine and co-founder of Cruciform Press and has written three books; The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment (Crossway, 2007) Sexual Detox: A Guide For Guys Who Are Sick of Porn (Cruciform Press, 2010) The Next Story: Life and Faith After the Digital Explosion (Zondervan, 2011))

When I was growing up and still living with my parents, my family supported ministries based in the USSR, and on our fridge we had a big poster covered in photographs of Russian pastors who were imprisoned or endangered because of their faith. Every night in our devotions we would pray for one of them, that God would bless and protect him. Meanwhile we lived in middle-class suburbia in Toronto. We freely told our neighbors about Jesus, we went to church twice each Sunday, we read the Bible openly, and even went to Christian schools. It did not seem fair that we had it so easy.

And we still have it easy. It is still remarkably easy to be a Christian here in North America. We have never faced systemic persecution. We have laws that protect our freedom to worship and our freedom to believe what we believe.

That’s not to say, though, that we never suffer. We still do face scorn and mockery, and especially so as the culture around us proceeds farther and deeper into paganism. Though the burdens we bear are light compared to what some others have had to carry, they are burdens nonetheless. I was recently studying 1 Peter 4 and found 5 reasons that we can and should rejoice even now when we are persecuted, or even in that day when we face much greater persecution.

"I walk through this sinful world as a
pilgrim in a foreign country" - CH Spurgeon
Religion of Cash update - Mr. Pope says he misses pizza and won't be in office long. How can you live in Rome miss a good pizza? I had a great pizza just off St. Peters square in 1978, did all the restaurants close in my absence? The popes ability to live in one of the greatest food cities on Earth and not be able to get a good pizza must be one of those Catholic Mysteries I hear so much about.

Religion of Apostasy update. The Presbyterian Church USA  has turned themselves over to their degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

Blood Moon Warning: The 3rd blood moon in 2 years occurs on April 4th and the easily swayed are tuning up to howl at the moon. I have even seen articles proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that all this blood moon stuff proves that  Jesus is returning on March 31, 2015 which is fortuitous for me because I have a doctors appointment on April 1 and I don't want to go. Chris White, who speaks with love and smarts, puts this whole blood moon hysteria in perspective here. It's well worth the watch.

Religion of Peace update: Bombs planted in a Christian church and a Catholic church in the Pakistani city of Lahore killed 10 people and wounded more than 55 during Sunday services. Meanwhile ISIS set off a string of suicide bombs in mosques in Yemen killing 137 and injuring 345 more people

A peek inside the mind of ISIS, The goal of ISIS from the very beginning has been to ethnically cleanse their land, and eventually the world, of Christians. They give their intended victims three choices: 1. Islam; 2. The Covenant of the Dhimma 3. If they decline that, then there is nothing left but the sword.

That sound you hear is me, smacking my head against the wall.

Mr. Pope update: The church is the HOUSE of Jesus? The term church comes from the Greek word ekklesia which means “a called-out assembly or congregation.” A church is not a building, but the church often meets inside a building, especially in colder climates. Ephesians 1:22-23 accurately tells us exactly what the church is - it's described as Jesus' body, not his house.

Religion of Love update, American pastor Saeed Abedini, imprisoned since Sept. 26, 2012, under harsh conditions in Iran because of his Christian faith, cannot attend his son's birthday in Boise, Idaho. Instead, Abedini wrote a letter offering his son the "gift of salvation."

God's love guides a young woman who was confronted with one of Satan's greatest lies: "Two years ago today I was sitting in an abortion clinic thinking not having Vaida [her daughter] was best for me"

A Christian Navy Chaplin has been fired for acting like a Christian Navy Chaplin.

Religion Of Obama update, the people of Israel recently and wisely told Barack Hussein Obama to mind his own business. Embarrassed whining from 1600 Pennsylvania ensues.

I'm not sure what's more shocking, ISIS' plans, or the fact that a main stream media outlet printed a story outlining ISIS' plans.

Mike Norris, son of actor Chuck Norris, on making films that glorify God and why the church is dying.
