As normal, it is Tom Buck’s fault. Everything is Tom’s fault these days, so, we might as well join in the fun. Seriously, I mentioned him retweeting the video of Riley Gaines being attacked by trans-madness thugs and that was just part of a half hour monologue on creation norms, the culture of death, and the madness of a society making its lasts gasps as it dies a self-inflicted death. And right in the middle of talking about censorship and the fact that only children require that everyone else be told to shut up, Twitch pulled the plug and cancelled us. Suspended our account and shut down the live stream. Talk about self-fulfilling prophecy! We really didn’t need further evidence of the utter degradation of social media platforms and the media, but thanks for the really personal example! So, we will have to live stream from Odysee next week, as it is our only option right now. We will not be posting this program to YouTube, obviously! Catch it while you can!

The Socinians Are Amongst Us! Or Are They?
Today I responded to the “storm of love” of 2022, the past 48 hours of nastiness expressed toward me by a wide range of well known Reformed men. Cutting through the verbiage and emotions, we got to the key issues. Lots of folks are asking, “Why is this happening?” Well, hopefully today’s program will help clarify some things. Enjoy!

A Test DL of the New Rig
James White, April 9, 2024April 10, 2024, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line Well, I suppose the nice thing is the problem we had was net related, not related to our new set up. The equipment we have installed and set up in the new RV worked fine, but the net kept dropping out on us. I will have to set up Starlink as a back up for Thursday. Anyway, we talked a bit about the unit, the upcoming trip, and then played a clip from a fellow from Texas demonstrating how not to handle Scripture relating to the recent eclipse. Then we looked at Trump’s statement on abortion, a unanimous decision from the Arizona Supreme Court, and a brief look at the new Vatican statement on human dignity.

Wise Partnerships in an Uncertain Environment
As many of you know we recently launched a new “app” for the ministry. As a part of that process it was important for us to make wise decisions regarding who we would partner with to make it happen. We chose a company called Subsplash and have been very impressed with them as we continue to improve and expand these new tools.As many of you already know PayPal has recently announced that it has joined with ADL in order to root out groups that it considers undesirable. If you have read their announcement then you know that I am being generous in my description. Having watched the transformation of the ADL for decades I have seen what kind of groups they consider to be “undesirable” these days. While I don’t believe that used to be the case, I can clearly see how it is now and that it is a matter of time before they put this organization in their crosshairs.After a number of discussions within Alpha and Omega I have decided to move our credit and debit card processing away from PayPal and over to Subsplash. Their technology is top notch and their support teams are too. Moreover, the app already has a donation platform built into it so giving can now be done through that method as well. In addition to the concern over PayPal’s partnerships, Subsplash also has lower processing fees so your support of this Ministry will go even further. Of course they also offer the web based tool that can be found on our donations page and all of these processes meet or exceed current industry standards of security and privacy.If you are a current repeating credit or debit card donor to Alpha and Omega we will be reaching out to you soon to assist you in moving your donations over to SubSplash. Since no credit card data is ever stored or collected on our website or in our offices we will need your assistance to accomplish this. If you already use our preferred method of donating via Online Banking you don’t need to do anything.We so appreciate your support of this work.Blessings,Rich PiercePresidentAlpha and Omega Ministries
