This is the problem with mixing religion with politics, and it’s the problem I’ve always had with Turning Point USA. While I still think Charlie Kirk was sincere in his Christian beliefs, I think the way he approached politics was extremely flawed. For example, Kirk...
Obviously, Jesus never said anything about homosexuality. Obviously. That has become such an overused talking point in progressive “Christianity” that it’s practically a meme itself. It’s basically their common stock argument against biblical Christianity. But it’s...
“Lord, Lord, did I not…?” “Depart from me … I never knew you.” Those are the dreaded words that many will hear on that day of judgment. Many believe that the outward works they perform in this life will somehow lead them into the Kingdom, but many will hear Jesus say,...
Evangelicalism is filled with far too many unqualified people holding the pastoral office. We run these seminaries like diploma mills, and after a few years of course study, we give them a certificate that says they’re qualified to lead a congregation of thousands of...
I’ve learned something this past week. Not something that I didn’t already know. I mean, I knew this intellectually—but I actually experienced it. I saw it firsthand. And it’s that even lost people can recognize when God is being mocked. And even lost people—to a...
Last week, I published a clip on X that unexpectedly went viral. I mean, really viral. The most viral tweet I’ve ever posted. At the time of this writing, it has received well over 8 million views, several thousand likes, comments, and retweets. And that’s just on my...
Very little commentary needs to be said, except that these people are going to have a rude awakening when they wake up and see the Holy Risen Lord face-to-face.He then goes on to say that “God is present in queer love, in all love, in your love. God is made flesh in...
An Episcopal priestess, with the fitting name, the Rev. Flourish Klink, wants us to know that “God is trans.” And not only is God trans, but Mary assigned Jesus a male at birth, she said. According to Klink, when Jesus was born, Mary said “Oh look, a baby boy!” But...
It’s been a long time since Todd White was on my radar. And that’s not because there is a shortage of blasphemies regularly spewing from his mouth. I’ll say it again. Todd White is a charlatan of the highest order. In fact, Todd White made #23 on my False Teacher of...
A man who has “transitioned” into a “woman”—it’s legitimately hard to even write that with a straight face—claims that not Jesus, not salvation, not even anything remotely related to God’s word, but his “transgenderism” is actually the bread given to him by God. What...
Myers Park Baptist Church was founded in 1943 and has stood as an icon in one of the most affluent areas of Charlotte for 83 years. But recently, to reflect its “inclusive” and “ecumenical” nature, the congregation dropped “Baptist” from its name. However, it...
There, the title sums it up. This pastor, Otha Turnbough, says that people keep coming to his church because he believes in and teaches all this stuff about numerology and demon possession. And he’s partly right. Just for the wrong reason. The Apostle Paul warns us in...
Lionheart Church is an up-and-coming prominent church in Austell, GA, and its founding “pastors,” Otha and LaRonna Turnbough, are making names for themselves. And not for good reason. In fact, these patently false teachers need to be exposed immediately for who and...
AI has its uses. It’s good for research, and it’s good for helping work through problems. Like any kind of technology, it’s a neutral tool that can be used for either good or evil. Part of the problem with AI is the irrational fear that people have of it. AI itself is...
Who would have guessed that James Talarico’s “pastor” is a woman? And worse, who would have guessed that the majority of people in James Talarico’s church identify as agnostic or atheist? Really, anyone with a modicum of common sense. That’s exactly what this...
We don’t watch a lot of television in our home anymore. Especially Disney. And there’s a good reason. The entire entertainment industry has departed from its seemingly harmless mission of turning us into couch potatoes and making us laugh. It has now become our...
Once again, Church by the Glades puts on a performance. This past Sunday, the worship service opened with a Disney medley that included Tarzan, Moana, and The Lion King. Certainly, this church … “church” … if you even want to call it that, has done much worse. I’ve...
The Satanic Temple has released a video depicting an abortion ritual taking place in a Hobby Lobby that is quite disturbing, to say the least. The ritual is set to music by a band that calls itself Dead Deities. The video shows a scantily clad woman marching through...
I’ll be the first to admit that Dolly Parton had a very likeable persona about her. She seemed very genuine, real, down-to-earth, and lovable. She seemed to genuinely care about people and want the best for them. And her music often reflected that. Dolly Parton passed...
The gates of Hell have not prevailed over Christ’s church. If you’ve been keeping up with the scandal brewing at one of the most notable and visible “Reformed” parachurch ministries of our day, you may have seen by now that G3 has been dissolved. G3 originally began...
That’s what she is … a serpent. And what she said is exactly what you would expect from a woman cosplaying as one of Satan’s pastors. The oldest sin recorded in the Scriptures is questioning God. In Genesis 3:1, the serpent presents the question to the woman, “Did God...
I saw this clip cross my Twitter feed, and I watched in absolute horror. This Roman Catholic bishop is taking what appears to be a real, human skull, placing it inside the head of a statue of, I don’t know, I guess Mary, and then he bows down to “venerate” it. It’s...
I had the misfortune of attending a G3 Conference in 2023 in Atlanta. My wife and I spent the money on the tickets, the hotel, and the travel, hoping for an experience we never actually had. We hoped we’d get there, be met with open arms by what would feel like a...
My wife once bought a set of Dutch sheets. Personally, I didn’t think they were all that comfortable. But apparently, they are known for their high-quality, all-natural materials like premium flax linen, sateen blends, and crisp cotton percale. I’m just kidding…I had...

When Southeastern Seminary president Danny Akin sat down for his recent interview, he did what politicians and bureaucrats do best—he rewrote history with a straight face. “We never talk about global warming issues around here. Never,” he said, brushing off criticism...
Every October, the same camp that can’t define a woman suddenly transforms into a panel of historical experts. They put down their gender-studies textbooks just long enough to lecture the rest of us about “colonial oppression” and the supposed horrors of Christopher...
The smoke was still rising from the ruins of a Michigan Mormon temple when the vultures began to circle. Before the names of the dead are even released, before the wounded are even stitched and stabilized, Twitter’s amateur brigade of moral virtue signalers had...
On September 25, 2025, the Lord called home Dr. Voddie Baucham, Jr., who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 56 after suffering an emergency medical incident. In a moment, one of the last remaining voices that thundered the gospel with clarity and uncompromising...
The Tony Awards have officially gone from tedious virtue-signaling to full-on vaudeville mockery. Cole Escola—an actor who insists he’s “nonbinary” (read: a man who enjoys crossdressing and making a mockery of femininity)—has been handed the prize for Best Actor in a...
I didn’t wake up this morning needing another reminder that sin wants to be celebrated. Yet here we are—“Bisexual Day of Visibility.” Apparently, the world’s calendar didn’t already have enough carved-out hours to exalt rebellion. If you’ve never heard of this day,...
Christopher Yuan, a well-known Christian author and speaker, is hospitalized after a severe fall that left him paralyzed from the neck down. According to a statement from his mother, doctors performed an MRI before moving forward with surgery in hopes of preventing...
President of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee, Jeff Iorg, just gave Southern Baptists a masterclass in gaslighting. Standing before Southern Baptists, he literally wagged his finger at churches who refuse to hand over unrestricted Cooperative...
In a recent episode of the Premier Unbelievable podcast, theologian N.T. Wright was handed a golden opportunity to make clear the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus Christ. Instead, he picked it up like a wet sponge, flung it at the wall, and watched it slide down...
There’s a sickness, or possibly a judgment, in the house of God, and no polite resolution or committee report is going to fix it. It’s the kind of sickness that made prophets tear their clothes and cry out at the city gates. The kind that takes the murder of a man and...
This past Sunday, Pastor Frederick D. Haynes took the pulpit to address the murder of Charlie Kirk. And what came out of his mouth was a masterclass in double-speak: “We ain't got nothing to do with what they just did. A white Christian gets killed, murdered, not...
Charlie Kirk’s life was cut short on September 10, when a far-left, Antifa-aligned radical walked into a university event and gunned him down in cold blood. It was an assassination, not an accident. A man was killed for speaking truth to the cultural rot in one of the...
They say all roads lead to Rome—and apparently, one of them is now a rainbow-paved freeway from Hell. This weekend, that road ended at St. Peter’s Basilica, where the world’s most famous cathedral became a parade ground. The pictures tell the story better than the...
I can’t shake the feeling that every time I open Christianity Today, or Christianity Astray, I’m not reading Christian journalism—I’m reading a liturgy for the world. It’s like they’re holding a perpetual worship service where the saints are chosen not by God’s...
I saw this tweet by William Wolfe and Charlie Kirk this morning—Wolfe tagging Trevin Wax, demanding to know why he was quick to comment on George Floyd but has nothing to say about Iryna Zarutska. If you’re not aware, Zarutska was a white Ukrainian woman, a refugee of...
There, I said it. In the title of this article. That isn’t hyperbole, it’s the only explanation left after watching how this machine churns. Hillsong sold itself as a worship powerhouse while its leadership gorged on money laundering, tax evasion, and lavish “gifts”...
It’s one thing when a false teacher twists the Scriptures out of context. But it’s a completely different ballgame when he does us the courtesy of implicating himself with his own words by simply admitting the truth outright—that the people he claims that hel loves...
An article at Patheos came across my radar recently that piqued my interest. It’s peddling the tired old Roman Catholic view of “invincible ignorance”, or the idea that maybe atheists can slip into heaven if they just don’t “know better.” It’s not nuance, it’s...
Back in the 90s, few voices rang louder in evangelical youth groups than Ray Boltz. Choirs sang his ballads, even parents wept at his lyrics, and GMA Dove Awards were stacked on his shelf. His song, Thank You, captured the imagination of a generation. The Anchor Holds...
The apostle John makes it clear: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us” (1 John 2:19). To abandon the bride of Christ is not a side path in the Christian life—it is to abandon Christ Himself....
There’s tone-deaf, and then there’s Students for Life congratulating Taylor Swift—the platinum-selling evangelist of abortion rights—on her engagement. Yes, the organization founded to defend the unborn decided to pen a love letter to a woman who has openly declared,...
God hates sin, we already know that. But scripture says more. When a people harden themselves, the sharpest judgment is not a lightning bolt but God’s hand of restraint removed. “God gave them up… God gave them over” (Romans 1). The brakes come off. Desire becomes...
Here in 2025, feminism has reached its highest peak in history, yet it still amazes me that something as simple and as clear as God’s created order can be so furiously despised by even the Church. The Bible is not vague about this and does not leave room for...
Here we are in 2025, watching an entire generation mutilate itself while screaming that we’re the fascists. They pierce, ink, carve, and scar their bodies in the name of “freedom,” yet they march under the banner of rage, demanding that anyone who still looks and...
There’s really no way to whitewash this—the radical left has declared war on us. Not a metaphorical war, not just a battle of ideas ungraciously waged in op-eds at the NYT or WaPo, but a war with literal, physical casualties. And we just saw this with the...
I saw this tweet by William Wolfe and Charlie Kirk this morning—Wolfe tagging Trevin Wax, demanding to know why he was quick to comment on George Floyd but has nothing to say about Iryna Zarutska. If you’re not aware, Zarutska was a white Ukrainian woman, a refugee of...

There is a slow, deliberate purge happening in America. Not a war waged with guns, bombs, and tanks, but with erasers, marketing departments, and cultural commissars. It is the grand project of the woke movement, a full frontal assault on white European history,...
Paula White is trash. There, I said it. She's a false teacher, a peddler of snake oil, a carnival barker draped in pseudo-Christian robes, hawking a gospel of greed with all the theological depth of a used car salesman promising that a lemon will last forever. She is...
Imagine living in a world so consumed by political hysteria that some women are now permanently sterilizing themselves because of an election outcome. In response to Donald Trump’s presidency—or the mere fear of what they believe it represents—certain self-proclaimed...
As the preacher tells us in Ecclesiastes 1:9: "What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun." Imagine a world filled with people, daring and brash, piling brick upon brick, mortar upon mortar,...
I received this email from “Evangelicals for Harris”—the oxymoronically named organization that advocates for godless politics—this morning calling on the Trump campaign to “repent” for pointing out that a third-world Caribbean island’s streets are as trashy as its...
In an op-ed published by Newsweek, aptly titled “I'm Billy Graham's Granddaughter and I'm Voting for Kamala Harris,” Jerushah Duford, granddaughter of the late evangelist Billy Graham, once again steps into the political fray—this time to endorse Kamala Harris in the...
It's disconcerting to think that so many young women would prioritize the “right” to murder their unborn children as the primary reason for supporting Kamala Harris. The fact that we've reached a point in this nation where children—innocent, defenseless lives—are...
Kamala Harris, the unelected Democratic nominee for president—yes, unelected, because no one asked her to be the face of the party but here she is—has now dropped her latest gem of wisdom upon the American people.And what is it this time? At first, I thought this was...
I honestly get tired of writing on this topic, but it’s such a pervasive evil in our world that it’s impossible to ignore. I read an article sent to me by one of my avid readers that sent chills down my spine. The article, published in the New York...

I recently saw a video clip of false teacher Kathryn Krick claiming to free a woman of the “generational curses” of abuse, and it was difficult to watch. The woman was obviously hurt, sad, and noticeably emotional. And here was Krick, exploiting this poor woman for...
Remember COVID? Remember the evangelical talking heads—Russell Moore, David French, Ed Stetzer—aggressively pushing us to “love our neighbors” by wearing dirty face masks? Doubled up, maybe. Telling us that we must “do the right thing” by risking our own lives,...
A bearded man in a pink skirt walks into your church one morning and sits down. Perhaps he strikes up a conversation with your wife… your kids. He claims he’s a Christian, he knows Jesus, and he’s saved. Of course, God accepts him just how he is. How do you respond?...
There’s distasteful. There’s absolutely vile and disgusting. And then there’s this. Blasphemy! Apparently, the Pentagon is no longer satisfied with recruiting soldiers on behalf of the United States government and is now recruiting them on behalf of God. At least,...
You can learn a great deal about whether a movement is making progress by watching who suddenly feels compelled to denounce it. Rebecca Todd Peters, A PCUSA “pastor” standing behind a church pulpit wearing a Planned Parenthood stole, isn’t lamenting a fringe movement...
Somewhere along the way, the church stopped asking how God wants to be worshiped and started asking what people will show up for. We have spent decades perfecting an experience God never commanded. Not because our doctrinal statements changed. They often haven’t. Not...
There is a new generation of celebrity preachers rising through YouTube algorithms instead of seminaries, podcasts instead of pulpits, and viral clips instead of faithful local church ministry. Every few years another one appears. He speaks with certainty. He tells...
There comes a point where mockery becomes unavoidable. Not because God’s Word deserves mockery—it never does. Because the people claiming to speak for God become so preposterous that satire practically writes itself. If you’ve never heard of Bobby Conner, he’s one of...
California multi-site megachurch pastor, Albert Tate, says we have “satanic Christians.” That is a spicy accusation. It has teeth. It has sulfur on it. It walks into the room wearing a black robe and carrying a bucket of theological gasoline. So who are these satanic...
Thousands gathered on the National Mall in May to pray, sing, worship, and publicly confess that America stands under God. That alone is enough to make the secular managerial class start sweating through its blazer. The event was called “Rededicate 250: National...
The Presbyterian Church (USA) has officially thrown its institutional weight behind so-called “gender-affirming healthcare” for children. Let that settle in for a moment. At its 227th General Assembly, the denomination approved an overture declaring that the PCUSA...
The Supreme Court has now done what institutional conservatives so often do when the machinery starts growling. It took a liberal assumption, treated it like ancient constitutional granite, polished it with precedent, and handed it back to the country as though the...
Louisiana pastor Tony Spell is in trouble after beating up a 20-year-old man across the street from his church in Baton Rouge. According to Spell, he was working on a church bus when the man started shouting at him and threatened to rape his wife, rape his...
Today, right in the middle of Pride Month—a month-long celebration of sexual anarchy—we are granted a brief intermission. For twenty-four glorious hours, we can set aside the endless lectures about identity and self-expression and redirect our attention toward an...
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, New York legislators pass a law replacing “mother” and “father” in portions of its legal code with “gestating parent” and “non-gestating parent.” Read that again. A mother is now a gestating parent. A father is now a...
Looking at these “Pride Night” spectacles, it's hard not to think of the old Dionysian cult festivals of the ancient world. The modern LGBT cult may not be offering wine to a Greek god, but the similarities between the movements are difficult to ignore....
In a healthy church, meeting with the pastor shouldn’t feel like winning a raffle. That was my first thought when I heard Josh Howerton describe giving church members a “once in a maybe lifetime opportunity” to sit down and ask their pastor questions. Read that again....
A few weeks ago, at Temple Beth El in Charlotte, ordained PCUSA minister Rebecca Todd Peters stood in the pulpit wearing a Planned Parenthood stole and offered what may be one of the most grotesque reinterpretations of Scripture you’ll hear this year....
Yesterday, Beth Moore emerged from whatever cave she has been hiding in since abandoning her Southern Baptist church several years ago and unleashed a lengthy social media tirade aimed at Southern Baptists who continue to believe that God's Word means what it says...
For more than fifty years, America legalized the slaughter of her own children while calling it everything from “healthcare” to “compassion for women.” The blood soaked into the floorboards of the republic while judges in black robes patted themselves on the back for...
There used to be a time when seminaries existed to forge men who feared God more than man. Men who could stand in a pulpit with a spine made of iron and say, “Thus saith the Lord,” even if the whole room hissed back at them. Men who understood that shepherding...
There is something deeply unsettling about watching a man stand on a stage with a Bible in his hand, speaking with the cadence of a preacher while slowly dissolving the very attributes of God that make the gospel necessary in the first place. Not in one violent motion...
Rome had a strange smell near the end of its empire. Historians don’t really talk about that part. They write about military campaigns and collapsing currencies and corrupt emperors with grapes hanging from their fingers while boys danced in silk before them. But I...
Tim Keller spent years cultivating the image of the calm Evangelical intellectual—the reasonable man in the room, the thoughtful urban pastor who translated historic biblical Christianity for the modern world. Soft-spoken, measured, and winsome. Never shrill. Never...
