Daily Wire: The United Methodist Church (UMC), which is the third-largest Christian denomination in the United States, faces the possibility of schism after conservative Methodists are taking measures to break off over the issue of homosexuality.
“And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.: Revelation 3:1
The would-be division from the conservative group known as the Global Methodist Church (GMC) consists of a 17-member Transitional Leadership Council, which is a group of theologically conservative Methodists, according to The Christian Post.
The Wesleyan Covenant Association (WCA), which is a conservative United Methodist advocacy group, announced the GMC on March 1, but explained the group is still waiting for the UMC to formally approve a separation policy.
“Theologically conservative United Methodists have made no secret of their efforts to form a new church,” the WCA said in a press release. “In late 2018, the Wesleyan Covenant Association created a Next Steps Working Group to begin drafting its own ‘Book of Doctrines and Discipline’ outlining essential theological confessions and governing structures for a new church’s consideration. It did so in light of the special called 2019 General Conference, where delegates once again addressed issues that have deeply divided the UM Church for decades. The special conference was called to hopefully resolve differences, but many believed it could just as easily reveal the necessity of separation.”
As The Christian Post reported:
Keith Boyette, president of the Wesleyan Covenant Association and spokesman for the Global Methodist Church, told The Christian Post that UMC leadership has shown “an unwillingness to uphold its teachings.”
“In the United States, particularly, some bishops, clergy, and churches are operating in open defiance to the teachings of the United Methodist Church,” Boyette said.
“The Church has become ungovernable as a consequence, such unchecked defiance has destroyed the integrity of the Church.” Read More
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.” Zechariah 12:2 KJV
Times of Israel: The United Arab Emirates on Sunday called on Israel to reduce tensions in Jerusalem and condemned a recent march by an extremist Jewish group in the city.
The statement was a rare criticism of Israel from the Arab nation since the two countries signed a normalization agreement last year and have been pushing ahead with increasingly warm ties.
“The United Arab Emirates has expressed concern over the acts of violence committed by right-wing extremist groups in the occupied East Jerusalem, which have resulted in injuries among civilians,” the statement said.
The UAE “called upon the Israeli authorities to assume responsibility toward de-escalation and putting an end to all aggressions and practices that perpetuate tension and hostility,” the statement said.’
It also underlined “the necessity of preserving the historical identity of the occupied city of Jerusalem.” Read More
Times of Israel: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an urgent security meeting on Saturday afternoon to discuss soaring tensions with the Hamas-run Gaza Strip following overnight barrages of rockets fired at Israel from the Palestinian enclave. The meeting was held at the Israel Defense Forces’ Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv with IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi, Defense Minister Benny Gantz, Minister of Public Security Amir Ohana, the head of the Shin Bet internal security service, and other high-level officials.
“They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel be remembered no more”. Psalm 83:4
The urgent meeting was held shortly after the military announced earlier Saturday that Kohavi has delayed a planned trip to the United States to discuss the threat of Iran’s nuclear program and its entrenchment throughout the region.

Kohavi had met with security chiefs to discuss the situation following the firing of 36 rockets at Israel overnight from the Gaza Strip and amid clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
“In assessing the situation, the chief of staff ordered a series of possible steps, responses and assessments for escalation,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. Read More
Zero Hedge: Three months into the job and already Joe Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, is making a fool of himself on the world stage. Here’s his choice remark for the global climate summit:

John Kerry at Biden’s #LeadersClimateSummit: ‘Net zero is not enough. We need to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.’ A statement of climate futility and insanity.

Here’s the elementary-school basics for him, from Encyclopedia Brittanica:
Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
Carbon dioxide is what plants live on, along with water, soil, ideal temperature, and fertilizer.
Remove the carbon dioxide and kill the plants. No more organic veggies, no more rainforest, no more bike trails, no more grain for cows, no more food for pets, and no more National Parks.
Just Jon Carry, see, and his environmental wacko billionaire elites.
That’s quite a greenie agenda he’s got there, turning the world brown. Read more

Arutz Sheva: Three rockets were fired from Gaza towards southern Israel on Friday evening. A siren was sounded shortly after 11:00 p.m. in Kibbutz Kissufim, located in the Eshkol Regional Council near the border with Gaza.The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit confirmed that one rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome system, and that two other rockets exploded in open areas.
“They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness … “Malachi 1:4
There are no reports of physical injuries or damages.
A rocket was also fired from Gaza toward southern Israel last Friday evening.
The rocket exploded in an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council, without causing physical injuries or damages. The IDF retaliated by attacking terrorist targets in Gaza. Read More
New York Post: The benefits of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine outweigh the risks — and its use should be resumed for anyone over the age of 18 with no warnings added, an influential, independent advisory panel ruled Friday.
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him …” Rev 6:6
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which helps guide the government on vaccine use, voted 10 to 4 with one abstention to resume the use of J&J’s one-dose shot after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration recommended a pause on its use last week.
An examination of more than seven million vaccinations found a total of 15 women faced blood clots after they were inoculated, including three who died, the panel said. Five patients were discharged and seven remain hospitalized. Thirteen of the cases occurred in women between the ages of 18 and 49 while two occurred in females over 50. No cases were found in men.
The CDC and FDA will now review the recommendation and are expected to make a decision Friday night on the vaccine’s fate in the country.

Breitbart: Next Thursday marks President Biden’s 100th day in office. On Wednesday night, Biden will give a joint address to Congress claiming his time so far has been a historic success.
“that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.” 1 Thess. 4:11-12
He will try to take credit for the Trump administration’s accomplishments, including the Covid-19 vaccine and ending the war in Afghanistan. He will try to claim that his government spending blowout and proposed tax increases and labor regulations will help the economy, which reached new heights under Trump.
In reality, Biden’s first 100 days are a declaration of war on small businesses. Biden’s $1.9 trillion spending bill passed last month is generating inflation. His numerous environmental orders, including canceling the Keystone XL pipeline and banning drilling on federal lands, are costing jobs and raising energy prices. And by revoking Trump administration deregulation and its business-led apprenticeship program, Biden is making it harder for small businesses to operate and find skilled workers.
But Biden’s biggest threats to small businesses so far have been his proposed tax increases and support for the Pro Act. Biden has proposed raising the corporate tax rate by 33 percent. Roughly one million American small businesses are structured as corporations and would be affected by this massive tax increase. Such small businesses include the likes of Ohio’s Alloy Precision Technologies, which employs about 85 people and has had to enact a hiring freeze to prepare for forthcoming taxes and regulations. Millions more small businesses who service corporations are also indirectly threatened by this tax hike.
Pass-through small businesses, which are subject to the individual tax code, will be impacted by Biden’s other tax proposals. Biden plans to implement a “success tax” (as JCN is calling it) by nearly doubling the capital gains rate and curtailing the so-called “step-up” basis tax treatment for the next generation. Read More

Foreign policy: Secretary of State Antony Blinken has issued a blanket authorization for U.S. diplomatic outposts around the world to fly the Pride flag on the same flagpole as the U.S flag at their embassy or consulate showcasing support for LGBTQ rights.
“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” Leviticus 18:22
The directive marks a departure from how the Trump administration handled the matter while the State Department was run by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient …” Romans 1:28
In a confidential cable reviewed by Foreign Policy and sent to diplomatic posts around the world, Blinken gave authority for diplomats to fly the Pride flag before May 17, which marks the international day against homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia, as well as June, which in the United States and many other countries is Pride month.
The cable contained a hedge, though, saying the authorization is not a requirement and chiefs of mission who run each embassy or consulate can choose whether to fly the Pride flag or showcase other symbols connoting support for LGBTQ rights based on what is “appropriate in light of local conditions.” Read More
Flying the Pride flag at U.S. embassies became a point of contention during the Trump era, when, under Pompeo, the State Department blocked embassies’ requests to fly the flag on the same flagpole as the U.S. banner. Diplomats were told they could display Pride symbols elsewhere in embassies. Read More
