You know the old adage, "kids say the darndest things"? Well, charismatic prophets are just as bad, if not worse. In fact, they come up with some of the craziest and most absurd things that the world has ever heard. First off, as a disclaimer, I was a Trump supporter...
The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, argued in front of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson that the government should push forward with its ban on what secularists have dubbed "conversion therapy." "Conversion therapy" is a catchall phrase that...
With the recent rise of progressive “Christianity” in the last few years, it’s no surprise that one of the prevailing themes is social justice, known colloquially as the “woke” movement. Many denominations have been caught up in the movement forever. But social...
Bethel Church is full of crazy kooks. If it isn’t senior pastor, Bill Johnson and his false prophecies, fake healings, and promotions of false signs and wonders, then it’s his associate, Kris Vallotton doing the same thing. Not too long ago, Vallotton told of a time...
During a sermon at Rick Joyner's Morningstar Church in Rock Hill, SC, Jerame Nelson, who was leading the service, actually did this: he led the church in a "Holy Ghost Hokey Pokey" where attendees actually claimed they were healed by this stupidity. I’m gonna tell ya....
You may have thought you've heard it all, but you haven't heard it all until you hear ELCA Lutheran "pastor" Megan Rohrer explain the reasoning why Daniel's friends, Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego, wore "fancy robes." She says that it's because they were...

Last year, the unelected governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, preached a sermon from A.R. Bernard's megachurch in New York City, the Christian Cultural Center, calling on pew-sitters in that church to be her "disciples" for vaccine mandates. If that wasn't cringeworthy...

Yesterday, Religion News Service (RNS) ran a story promoting someone calling himself a "transqueer Latinx theologian" who goes by the genderless pronouns "they/them/their." To be clear, it is not surprising that there are people who do this; the world is filled with...
