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...

Jen Wilkin, a female preacher at Matt Chandler’s church—a Southern Baptist church—who has also publicly described menstruation as a “parable of the cross” is now being presented as a preaching coach for pastors. Not for women’s Bible study leaders. Not for curriculum...

There’s something especially exhausting about watching these charismatic blowhards deliver their “prophetic visions” with all the fire and certainty of Jeremiah... only to realize it’s just Fox News meets Sunday school. Hank Kunneman takes the stage, eyes blazing,...

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...

Phil Vischer—the man who once gave the world talking vegetables and Sunday School singalongs—has now dedicated his platform to something far darker. He is now driving a wedge between Jesus Christ and God the Father. For those who haven’t been following Vischer’s...

It’s the week after Christmas, and Christ is still too inconvenient for some churches. This time, again, it’s J.D. Greear’s Summit Church—canceling Sunday worship just three days after celebrating the incarnation. Apparently, gathering to exalt the risen King clashes...

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...

As a North Carolina native, I’ve been watching a story develop in Randolph County involving its public library, and despite the predictable hysteria from the usual activist press, this is one of those rare moments where local government actually did what it’s supposed...
