Pastor Paul Sanyangore of Victory World International from Zimbabwe claims he has God's phone number and calls heaven during one of his church services. "Hello, Hello," Sanyangore says on the telephone as he speaks to God. "Is this Heaven?" With a woman in the...
Andy Stanley's disdain for the Holy Scriptures is a well-established fact, and it is nothing new that he has been vocal in his condemnation of the inerrancy and authority of the Word of God. He has gone so far as to declare the Scriptures to be indefensible and...
The Old Testament is replete with examples of men and women who failed to abide by the commandments that God set forth for His creation, particularly as it pertained to worship. One such instance is that of Cain, the progeny of Adam and Eve, whose worship was rejected...
A.W. Tozer famously said that "A church that can not worship MUST be entertained." Much like Spurgeon's famous quote that we often repeat on this blog, Tozer echoes the sentiments that a time will come when instead of pastors feeding sheep, clowns will entertain the...

The twisting of Scripture for personal gain is nothing new, but I have observed a rapidly growing and disturbing trend among politicians who claim to be Christians and religious leaders who support them, who attempt to reason that certain passages of Scripture hold...
As we find ourselves in the tumultuous and uncertain times of the church age, it is of utmost importance that we exercise discernment in discerning the truth of scripture from the plethora of falsehoods that seek to assail our faith. The great theologian and pastor...
Oh, the irony of it all! The Miss Universe contest, a pageant of beauty and elegance, was graced with the presence of the Ukrainian delegation, adorned in the most saccharine and sacrosanct of garbs. Draped in a costume of pure, unadulterated white and gold, they...
