The flame of Truth is not extinguished

The flame of Truth is not extinguished

In the past few weeks, a wave of fear and uncertainty has plagued the nation. Along with it came the further stifling of free thought in journalism—and any information that deviates from the mainstream narrative.

But all it takes is one voice to break the silence.

And as long as the desire for truth remains in the heart of at least one American, it cannot die.  

We remain dedicated to our principles, especially at a time when Truth and Tradition are rapidly disappearing from our nation, especially when men and women like you still call this nation home.

To us, each one of you is a spark in the darkness—a spark of hope for the values of our nation, and a spark that’s worth every effort to protect.

Because when the time is right, a spark alone is enough to light the torch of truth that can be handed down to generations to come.

Until that moment arrives, we hope that you’ll continue to stand with us. We plan to continue fighting for honest journalism and our American values, we hope you’ll join us for the long, challenging journey ahead.

Abraham Pleads for Sodom

Genesis 18 16 -33

¹⁶ When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. 

¹⁷ Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? 

¹⁸ Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him.

¹⁹ For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”

²⁰ Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous

²¹ that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”

²² The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord.

²³ Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?

²⁴ What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare^[e] the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it?

²⁵ Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

²⁶ The Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”

²⁷ Then Abraham spoke up again: “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes

²⁸ what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five people?”

“If I find forty-five there,” he said, “I will not destroy it.”

²⁹ Once again he spoke to him, “What if only forty are found there?”

He said, “For the sake of forty, I will not do it.”

³⁰ Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?”

He answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”

³¹ Abraham said, “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?”

He said, “For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it.”

³² Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?”

He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.”

³³ When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.
