From Caleb Lines’ latest sermon:

Mary gets to choose and Mary chooses to carry the Messiah. Mary says, let it be in the story, which means that Mary is afforded a choice that so many people in our society today are no longer afforded.

The biblical call is to increased compassion, and yet people often abuse and misuse the Bible, take it out of context, to bend it to mean what they want it to mean. And I don’t think that is a fair use of the Bible. With the overturn of Roe v. Wade two and a half years ago, many states had trigger laws that went into effect immediately, which made it illegal to seek an abortion in most if not all cases.

And that meant that many people who could get pregnant were not able to access the reproductive health care that they needed, especially people who were already in marginalized communities who could not afford to simply travel to another state. It meant that in some places, that even in cases of rape and incest, that abortion was illegal, but it went beyond that.

It’s now at the point where contraception is targeted and where abortion is illegal, even in lifesaving circumstances, and even if the child might be stillborn, for instance. That is to say that reproductive health encompasses more than simply abortion, as it is framed by most of the conversation. It is all-encompassing, and by and large, people in the United States want access to reproductive health.

This is spiritual cosplay—complete with vestments and pulpits—but the gospel they preach is nothing more than a caricature of the real thing. These clowns are not confused people fumbling through hard questions. They don’t believe a single word of their own preaching.

These are wolves in clerical drag, turning Scripture into satire. They invoke Mary not to honor her obedience, but to exploit her for political gain. They invoke Scripture not to submit to it, but to subvert it. And worst of all, they do it all while draped in the garb of the very faith they despise.

They don’t tremble at God’s Word—they twist it. They don’t shepherd souls—they seduce them. This isn’t even ignorance—it’s rebellion dressed up as righteousness. They mock God, mutilate His Word, and parade their heresies with smug confidence, daring anyone to challenge their so-called “compassion.”

It’s anti-Christianity, staged from within the church walls by the reprobate. And it’s not a matter of doctrinal disagreement—it’s spiritual warfare. These are priests of a new paganism, cloaked in liturgical language but preaching death.

Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame (Philippians 3:19). And yet, tragically, they’ve convinced a generation to clap along while they dance toward judgment.
