I’ve always said a nation without borders isn’t a nation, it’s a yard sale. Anyone can stroll in, grab what they want, and stroll back out. Hang all the flags you want, blast the national anthem on repeat, but if the gates are open and there’s no one at the...
Many years ago, I was a football fan — a diehard, even. I stuck with the Panthers through seasons so bad they should’ve been classified as disaster zones, and I relished the rare payoff of seeing them claw their way to a Super Bowl. Those days are long gone. The NFL...
In a recent conversation with The Gospel Coalition (TGC) in it’s “Good Faith Debates” series, TGC Contributor, Andrew Wilson argued his views on self-defense, gun control, and biblical mandates regarding turning the other cheek. His argument can be generously...
An alarming trend of arrests of Christians preaching the gospel in public spaces—a completely legal and constitutionally protected activity—is beginning to break of real and actual persecution in the United States. Just two weeks ago, we reported that a young teen was...
Todd White is a charlatan of the highest order, masquerading as a preacher and pastor. His supposed “healings” are nothing more than cheap parlor tricks, and his association with known false prophets and heretics should be a red flag to anyone who encounters him. But...
Anyone who still believes that the popular television show, The Chosen, is a Christian television show is deceiving themselves. While Christians and churches have been entranced by this show for the last several years, many of us have been sounding the alarm...
Eric Metaxas used to be someone who, while not completely devoted to sound doctrine, his version of “mere Christianity” at least fell somewhere between the bounds of orthodoxy–even if grazing the very edge of it. In recent years, however, that can no longer be the...
"Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions; they have not exposed your iniquity to restore your fortunes, but have seen for you oracles that are false and misleading." - Lamentations 2:14 As I read this verse again recently, I was struck...
Earlier this morning, The Dissenter broke the news that Southern Baptist Convention president would be participating in a talk with a pro-LGBTQ, pro-abortion activist named Anthea Butler to bash other brothers and sisters in Christ who identify in some way as...
I woke up this morning, and to my complete shock and dismay, I saw that Southern Baptist Convention president, Bart Barber, is slated to join a secular publication that's hosting hundreds of speakers, 90+ percent of which are progressives, to speak on this issue of...
In the modern cathedrals of pop-Christianity, where the beats of "worship music" resonate just a tad louder than doctrinal integrity, a new portrait of Jesus has been painted—one that bears less resemblance to the God revealed to us in Scripture and more to a...
Presuppositional apologetics is an approach within Christian apologetics that asserts that one's foundational beliefs, or presuppositions, form the basis for all reasoning. In essence, it contends that everyone comes to the table with a set of presupposed beliefs or...
The Gospel Coalition has made quite the proposition suggesting that a novel source of enlightenment awaits the Church in the most unlikely of places: Barbie. Their article confidently boasts, "Why ‘Barbie’ Matters for the Church." Indeed, amidst centuries of church...
It seriously seems like everywhere you see a congregation of false prophets, there you will find Ed Stetzer wrapped up right in the middle of it. That should tell you something about Stetzer.Ed Stetzer is a former LifeWay executive who, during his reign, experienced a...
This has been quite the summer for movie-themed shenanigans in the pulpit. If it isn't Saddleback pastors dressing up like Toy Story characters, then it's a Top Gun-themed sermon. And if not that, then it's a clown building a bird's nest on stage, climbing in it, and...
Adorned in a Planned Parenthood stole, a woman masquerading as a "pastor" of God's sheep heralds the mantra of death as she celebrates her own two abortions from the pulpit. As the true church, largely compromised, at best, on this issue, stands silent in the face of...
You may remember a few years ago when Shawn Nepstad, the former pastor of People Church, hauled a dumpster on stage and climbed in it, and began to preach from the dumpster. No, that was not satire, you can see the clip here if you like. But the level of tomfoolery...
The megachurch industrial complex is grappling with a significant dilemma. Often, these churches start small, but are built around a production or personality rather than the gospel itself. It's rare to see a large church that doesn't depend on some form of...
"Dr." Kevin M. Young has unlocked a mystery that has baffled theologians for centuries. With the clatter of his keyboard, he has pinpointed the downfall of modern Christianity, and it's nothing so profound as a departure from biblical truth or a failure to preach...
There is a welcomed trend of churches arming themselves with the Scriptures to teach important messages about the faith that we should find encouraging. Church after church, pastor after pastor, they're all opening the Scriptures, preaching Christ and Him crucified,...
Anyone who argues that drag shows are "just entertainment" and not sexualized is by definition what God calls those who "justify the wicked" in Proverbs 17:15. The drag cult is a sex cult. The cult of Dionysus was a Greek mystery religion centered around the worship...
A dark and disquieting influence has infiltrated the modern church, casting long shadows across the pulpit and pews alike. Though this enemy began in a far subtler way—cloaked in the guise of social enlightenment, a pied piper playing the seductive melody of "woke"...
