While I personally prefer being in the sticks, American cities once stood as glimmering monuments to Western civilization—engines of industry, temples of innovation, and the backdrop of families building dreams. Los Angeles was one of them. Once. Before it was...
That’s Rev. Dr. Caleb Lines, a full-time rainbow cleric and part-time cosplay theologian currently pastoring University Christian Church in San Diego. He’s also the Co-Executive Director of ProgressiveChristianity.org, which is basically a digital “safe space” for...
You may remember several years ago when a highly popular pastor, Josh Harris, surprised the Christian world with his sudden apostasy as he divorced his wife and became an open activist for the LGBTQ community. Oh, you weren't surprised? Well, neither was I, and...
Whatever the fascination is among certain crowds with foul-mouthed celebrities and anti-Christ figures, it's a trend that has this nation in its grips. But worse, the trend has taken over the professing Church to such a degree that their filth is promoted in pulpits...
Here at The Dissenter, we have repeatedly hammered the undeniable fact that the contemporary Christian music industry is essentially a breeding ground for apostasy. We've covered numerous artists and bands that have fallen over the last several years. From one of...
A prominent LGBTQ activist that TGC relentlessly promotes is Rebecca McLaughlin. McLaughlin, herself, openly admits that she is romantically attracted to other women. During this presentation at The Gospel Coalition, she states,“I’ve been romantically attracted to...
I'm not legalistic when it comes to what you wear to church, even if you're a pastor. But there is a such thing as reverence, and there are some who go out of their way to be irreverent in how they present themselves to the Lord for worship. Take Pastor Scott...
I post this here as an example of exactly how NOT to advocate for life at an abortion clinic. As one who has spent many hours in front of abortion clinics preaching the gospel and pleading with mothers not to murder their children, I can readily admit that the...
If you can't trust a man to pastor his church according to the edicts of Scripture, how can you trust him to run the country if elected president? The answer? You can't. That's why I would suggest not voting for Ryan Binkley, co-pastor of the non-denominational Create...
Disclaimer: This is not a political article nor is it meant to make a political point. I do that from time to time, and seek to engage politics through a decidedly biblical worldview. That being said, politics can't be completely avoided here, but this article is...
In the midst of a progressive shift and growing divide within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), social justice has become the dividing line that some are not willing to cross and others are not willing to go without. The social justice movement in the SBC has...
In a recent conversation with Jim Davis at The Gospel Coalition, Pastor of McLean Bible Church in the DC area, David Platt offered his assessment of the political tensions within the American Church that warrants a biblical critique. Platt attempted to identify an...
The Southern Baptist Convention's rogue entity known as the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) has a strange reputation of doing the exact opposite of what its constituents support, not to mention, the opposite of what the Bible teaches, on a number of...
John Calvin said, “When God wants to judge a nation, He gives them wicked rulers”. The prophet Jeremiah also tells us in Jeremiah 23:19, “See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked.”One out of five military...
If you needed any other reason to write off the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), look no further than its abortion lobby. I don't say that tongue-in-cheek, either. You may be asking, "abortion lobby"? The answer is, yes....
I'm typically not drawn to contemporary Christian music for the very reasons that I've written about a dozen times. I simply do not view the industry as God-honoring, rather it is a self-promoting, man-pleasing industry designed to launch the careers of artists whose...
A few days ago, as Iowa passed a six-week abortion ban, the state's Capitol building was amassed with terroristic militant women seeking to do anything they could to stop the state from interfering with their self-imposed "right" to murder their children when they're...
I've been writing quite a bit the last few days about the issue of women pastors in the SBC and how the issue has become one of the most hot-button topics in recent Southern Baptist history. In fact, I can't remember a time during my former Southern Baptist life where...
Last month, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) passed an amendment that would bar cooperating churches from having women in the pastorate as is commanded in Scripture. The amendment was passed overwhelmingly by the messengers with more than 2/3 of the vote in...
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...
A popular heresy among charismatic false teachers is little-god theology, or the belief that we as humans carry within us the potential to become God, or divine like God. This is not only a heresy found among charismatics, however, it is the underlying teaching of...
Did you ever think we would live in a nation that flippantly passed off two homosexual men living together and fornicating as a "happily married couple"? Even ten years ago, this would have been unthinkable. But that day is here and this should serve as a...
