In Part XIII of our hard-hitting series on the Snares of the Modern Church, we unmask one of the most pernicious yet insidious traps that have ensnared unwitting believers—occultism. Yes, you read that right. We're talking about occult practices that have slithered...
If you need any other reason to pull your children out of Pagan institutions, look no further than DeDe Duffy. DeDe Duffy, a preschool teacher in Cape Coral, FL, says that she hates her family because she is a queer. She goes on to say that she teaches the kids in her...
We've been covering some of the controversy going on at Matt Chandler's Acts 29 church planting network over the last few weeks. This organization has been wrought with controversy since its inception. Notably, the well-publicized removal of co-founder Mark Driscoll...
It's beyond troubling to see the lengths to which some are willing to go to strip away parental rights under the guise of modern progressivism. In fact, it's horrifying. When I first read the headline, "It’s a privilege, not a right, to know your kid’s gender...
