I watched the clip—again and again—Steven Furtick laughing, giving some guy a piggyback ride in what he calls a church. The people around him cheering, clapping, filming on their phones like the presence of God is some novelty sideshow act. Honestly, this stuff just...
I sit here, mid-October, watching the leaves fall like tiny funerals, each one descending in silence to remind us that death still reigns over this cursed world. Yesterday, the verdict came down. Bionca Ellis—the smirking butcher of three-year-old Julian Wood—guilty....
Apparently, we now live in a world where less than half of “regular churchgoers” can coherently define the word family. Family Research Council’s (FRC) latest 2025 survey reveals that 68 % will say, “Marriage is between one man and one woman”—yet only 46 % think...
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...
They say politics doesn’t belong in the pulpit—that the Church must stay “above” the fray, aloof from the rough-and-tumble of the public square. But what they really mean is that the Bible is too sharp to touch their idols. It cuts too close. It exposes too much. The...
A woman in a Transformers shirt stands outside Smith College, screaming at a group of middle-aged women holding a banner that reads, “Women are adult human females.” She flails, rages, and hurls profanity like holy water against demons, as though declaring reality...
by Ed Dingess“Like a mighty army moves the Church of God. Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod. We are not divided, all one body we—one in hope and doctrine, one in charity.” All right, welcome to my series on false religions. Over the next few...
If you needed more proof that Rome is just another pagan temple dressed in white robes, look no further than this spectacle. The so-called “vicar of Christ” stood before a block of ice, mumbling prayers to “creation,” while a chorus of voices chanted like acolytes in...
Here is how Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, under the leadership of Danny Akin, slaps a new label on the same old identity-politics, marches it into seminary life, and invites everyone to the party—except…wait for it…straight, white, men. Black,...
This is an astonishing clip, honestly. Jim Davis—a TGC Council Member—stood in his pulpit, polished, legs crossed, effete, and smugly measured, after Charlie Kirk’s assassination and and thinks the lesson in all of this is “gospel sensitivity” could have prevented it....
Canon Press has formally submitted a proposal to purchase substantially all the assets of Christianity Today International for $10 million in cash. The letter, sent overnight on September 29, 2025, lays out what Canon describes as an attempt to preserve the magazine’s...
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,...

Somewhere, John Stott is doing cartwheels in his grave—and not the zip-line kind. If the modern church had a mascot, it wouldn’t be a lamb—it’d be a caped crusader on a harness, suspended mid-air like a Party City reject, flailing across the rafters in some desperate...
Charles Spurgeon once warned that when the church abandons reverence and doctrine, it eventually trades the pulpit for a stage—clowns entertaining goats. He meant it metaphorically, of course. He was talking about spectacle replacing substance, amusement displacing...
Remember a few years ago when the former CEO of Chick-fil-A quite literally prostrated himself in public before the rapper Lecrae? Shoes off. Head bowed. Cameras rolling. What was sold as “humility” was, in reality, something far more revealing. It was a moment when...
Every December, a rotund figure clad in red velvet descends upon the collective conscience of Western civilization, not through chimneys as legend would have us believe, but through malls, movies, and mantelpieces. His name is Santa Claus—a jolly old saint, they call...
