Here is a hot take, as social media would call it. But is this really a hot take or does it really only feel that way because Christianity in America is exceedingly lukewarm? I’ve read old Lutheran confessions of faith that denounce those who believe in believer’s baptism. It’s safe to say there was a time when Christians were to quick to make major theological schisms over secondary theological issues. But this time has long passed and now we are left with an unhealthy extreme in the opposite direction to where we count among Christians, too often, those who have long strayed from orthodoxy.
In the interest of unity, churches have permitted competing worldviews, among them humanism and Marxism. We see this where major Big Eva figures justify the consciences of those who vote for Democrat candidates, even though the party has no room at the table for a Christian worldview. But a unity built on suppressing worldview issues, one built on a postmodern view of objective truth and with it an overly subjective view of the interpretation and application of Scripture and conscience, is a unity built on a sandy foundation. But effort of maintaining cultural relevancy, many pastors suppress their own relevance by being unwilling to take a more definitive stance on hot button issues. It’s a poor strategy, unless you want to put butts in seats. Oh wait, most are unwilling to take a stand on doing that physically because they are afraid of the Karens in their congregations.
In this video, we watch and I respond to Owen Strachan’s viral clip where he calls for the church to enact discipline on those who are going woke, and if necessary after going through the process of Matthew 18, excommunication. This sounds extreme but it’s really basic and only logical. Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality are ideologies that are ultimately apart of the Social Justice Gospel. They seek to take captive the church. Pastors, especially, are charged with the duty of protecting people from the bondage of these ideologies. Being part of a false gospel, to propagate this ideology is to sin. Therefore Matthew 18 is the logical and loving course of action, that we may rescue the offender from the dangerous ideas they are acting on or peddling.
We must be willing to take ideas to their logical conclusions and act accordingly. We must also be willing to take strong stands on issues the Bible is quite clear about. A Christian should ultimately be thankful for the church discipline process whether it convicts them or exonerates them. And therefore, this tool that we are given can be a means to rescue the captive church.
COVID-19 may take down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the so-called “surge” or “2nd-wave” that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $11,500 to stay afloat for the rest of 2020, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
Election year or not, coronavirus lockdowns or not, anarchic riots or not, the need for truthful journalism endures. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.

American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
