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...
You’re probably aware by now of Sam Allberry’s resignation this past weekend after it was exposed he, a self-described “gay Christian,” had an “inappropriate relationship” with another man. Allberry has been a prominent advocate of what is called “Side B”...
From the very beginning, the church has had to guard her gates like a city under siege. Not from armies with banners and swords, but from men who speak the right words just long enough to earn trust, then quietly begin rearranging the furniture while nobody’s looking....
If you needed another reason to pull your children from public schools, look no further than this latest near-tragedy. The shadow falling across our nation is not an accidental byproduct of a few “troubled” individuals—it is the inevitable destination of a...
These ... clowns. Literal clowns. Some dude, draped in cheap polyester sequins and a wig that reeks of desperation, sits there. He’s playing pretend with kids. He’s wearing a caricature of womanhood like a skin suit, and he’s doing it in front of a child.“Do I look...
There’s a pattern in the charismatic movement—and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Another leader crashes. Another “movement” staggers. Another circle of loyalists scrambles to explain, reinterpret, salvage. Not repent, but salvage. Not submit to Scripture, but...

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...

“Antichrists are the dissembled enemies of Christ, who every manner of way are against the doctrine of Christ, whose followers they profess themselves to be (1 John 2:18–22; 4:3; 2 John 7).”— Amandus Polanus I keep coming back to that word, “dissembled.” Not open...
I thought I had heard it all. I really did. Paula White has spent years building a reputation as one of the most brazen purveyors of prosperity nonsense in modern evangelicalism—name it, claim it, decree it, declare it, speak it into existence. The whole tired script....
For years now, the modern transgender movement hasn’t operated like a loose collection of ideas. It’s functioned like a system—predictable, coordinated, and disturbingly efficient. Not chaos. Not confusion. A process. A conveyor belt—the transgender conveyor belt—as...
I wake up, grab my coffee, thumb the screen—and it’s the same grim parade, again. A man guns down a pregnant woman at a red light—her husband beside her—an unborn child erased in the same breath, and the system shrugs it off under the banner of insanity. Not...
The modern American imagination is an idol factory, and it has manufactured a version of Jesus that never existed. In this version, Jesus is soft-spoken, endlessly agreeable, and almost allergic to confrontation. He floats through the Gospels like a spiritual...
Karen Whitsett, a Democratic state representative from Detroit, has announced she will not seek reelection because she can no longer reconcile her faith with the Democrat party, according to a report from a Detroit news source. Whitsett has served in the Michigan...
James Talarico Is the Exact Kind of Christian as David French Or maybe it’s clearer if we say it without the polite packaging—he isn’t one at all. Every few months the evangelical internet machine latches onto a new personality and suddenly the timelines start...
For years now, we’ve been told to cool it with the comparisons of abortion to ancient paganism. Stop invoking Molech. Stop talking about sacrifice. Stop saying that modern society is quietly reenacting the most perverse rituals of the ancient world. We’re told, even...
“Yes, Democrats are evil, but Republicans…” I always hear the David French types, the Phil Vischer types, the JD Greear types, attempt to argue that Republicans are some kind of “opposite” evil from Democrats. These center-leftists, for lack of a better term, will...
I watched President Trump’s State of the Union last night with a mix of relief and frustration. Relief, because finally someone at the podium unapologetically defended our nation’s right to secure its borders as a matter of moral duty and love for our own citizens....
Chicago used to be known for industry, steel, and grit. These days, it’s known for blood on the pavement. Not metaphorically. Literally. Gangs don’t write press releases—they spray bullets. And the soundtrack to it all is known as “Gangsta rap.” Not the harmless kind...
There’s a certain tone a man uses when he believes the room belongs to him. Not the building. Not the microphone. The room. You can hear it in the cadence—relaxed, almost amused, but tight underneath. Like someone who has never had to be contradicted without...
by John Carpenter Most serious American Christians are accustomed to engaging groups like the Mormons, with their sexually immoral con-man who wrote bad fiction full of provable absurdities, or Jehovah’s Witnesses, repackaging ancient Arianism, or even Roman...
It’s a strange kind of grief—not the grief of surprise, but the grief of confirmation. The kind where you’ve been standing on the train tracks for years, waving both arms, shouting that the light in the distance isn’t the sunrise, it’s a locomotive—and then one day...
I am seeing a lot of chatter recently about overturning Obergefell, and I get this strange, sinking feeling like we’re standing on a patch of mud yelling at the sky because the house is leaning. We point at the Supreme Court like that’s the engine of this whole thing....
Last Sunday at Cities Church in St. Paul, a pack of Antifa activists barged into the sanctuary, interrupted worship, and chanted anti-ICE slogans while congregants sat confused or walked out. Their target was a pastor they accused of being a field ICE director. That’s...
by John B. Carpenter Josh Buice’s elders at Pray’s Mill Baptist Church must have faced a mighty temptation. The popularity of their G3 conference and the prominence of their church seemed to rely, to some extent, on Pastor Buice, yet they had caught him in...
There he is—Nicolas Maduro, dictator of Venezuela, head bowed, hands clasped like a schoolboy in a prayer circle—while David Owuor, decked out in pastel green, declares (translated by Google from Spanish): “This nation will protect all the land of Venezuela, even as...

Scott Adams—yes, Scott Adams, the Dilbert creator—recently said something that has been circulating among Christians with a strange mix of hope and relief. It sounds like movement. It sounds like openness. It sounds like someone inching toward belief. But when you...
If you’ve spent any time paying attention to the agonizing death throes of liberal Anglicanism, it should come as no surprise that its latest brilliant idea to staunch the bleeding involves not just ignoring Scripture, but intentionally thumbing their noses at it....
First, it was Randolph County, NC. Now it’s Chesapeake, VA. And if you’re paying attention, a positive pattern appears to be emerging. A few weeks ago, a red-blooded North Carolina county had the intestinal fortitude to dissolve an unelected library board that refused...
At the stroke of midnight on January 1st, 2026—while most of the city was still sweeping up confetti and nursing a hangover—Zohran Mamdani was quietly sworn in as mayor of New York City. But not on a Bible. Not in front of the historic rotunda of City Hall. No, this...
