Jamal Bryant, the pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia, has made a name for himself as a Marxist Communist who thrives on wielding power over others. His love for abortion is entrenched in his craving for this kind of demented...
It's disconcerting to think that so many young women would prioritize the “right” to murder their unborn children as the primary reason for supporting Kamala Harris. The fact that we've reached a point in this nation where children—innocent, defenseless lives—are...
If you've been involved at all in Southern Baptist life over the past few years, you're probably aware by now of the growing controversy surrounding women pastors and preachers. With an increasing number of Southern Baptist churches calling women to preach and to...
The many ways that some movements have perverted the history and theology of Christ is a phenomenon that has perplexed many of us throughout history. At its root, this twisting of biblical truth typically stems from a desire to justify personal ideologies and...
A few months ago, I published a video on Twitter of a man named Curtis Chang who made the asinine argument that getting the COVID vaXX was just like Jesus saving people—the vaccine "redeemed an abortion" the same way Jesus redeems sinners. That was literally his...
In a world awash with the deceptive allure of secular progressivism, a sinister myth has crept into the hearts of many, even within the sacred confines of the Church. It's the poisoned idea that Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Savior of humanity, was an advocate for...
In our continuing examination of the snares afflicting the modern church, we have delved into various traps such as superficial unity, cultural appeasement, and the distortion of biblical convictions. As we arrive at Part X of this critical series, we uncover yet...
In an era marked by uncertainty and a drift away from biblical truth, the warnings and judgments found in the pages of Scripture serve as grave reminders to us. These historical accounts are not merely tales of a bygone era but resounding calls to fidelity and...
The world today is flooded with distorted depictions and representations of Jesus Christ. In a quest for relevancy and appeal, modern culture, and even most modern churches, have twisted the figure of Jesus into something more palatable, more in line with human...
In the fascinating journey through the snares that entangle the modern church, the lure of "Cultural Appeasement" in Part VIII highlighted the ways in which church leaders and congregations can be ensnared by the desire to satisfy worldly desires. Now, we turn our...
Over the past two years, the so-called "woke church" movement appeared to be losing steam as its obsession with social justice and identity politics began losing favor with many of the laypeople who are committed to sound biblical doctrine and waking up to the...
In the modern age, it's not uncommon to find churches falling into a pattern of cheesy, shallow worship music. The superficiality of these songs often reveals much about the theology in the church itself. When a church preaches and a congregation subscribes to shallow...
One of my favorite follows on Twitter is Woke Preacher Clips (WPC). I'm the kind of person who is *mildly* entertained by the mass amounts of stupidity plaguing our world, but at the same time, I grieve over it in the hopes that God will open the eyes of some of these...
In Part VII of our series on the Snares of the Modern Church, we delved into the pitfalls of "Cultural Relevance," where the church, in its quest to be relatable, risks compromising core beliefs. Now, in Part VIII, we navigate the treacherous waters of "Cultural...
"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...
In the sprawling panorama of modern Evangelicalism, where the bright marquees of celebrated figures like Andy Stanley and Rick Warren frequently shine, a troubling trend stands out prominently. While historically, the church stood as a pillar of truth against the...
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...
In today's rapidly changing cultural landscape, it is becoming even more important for the church to defend our younger generation by teaching and standing firm on the foundational truths of Scripture. One of the most contentious topics of our day is the issue of...
In a world feverishly engaged in an unrestrained pursuit of "progress," the demarcation line between secular culture and shallow, cultural Christianity is not merely fading—it is being intentionally obliterated. To be clear, the line between the pagan culture and...
Every Sunday, across the globe, congregations gather in church buildings, expecting not only to hear the Word of God but often to be entertained. We see the theatrical spectacle of contemporary churches engaging in “culturally relevant” productions, sermon series...
The pages of Scripture are permeated with a resplendent theme: the inestimable and unspeakable love of God. This love cascades through time and eternity, an everlasting torrent of grace and mercy. We are taught even as little children the profound simplicity of love,...
The buzzwords 'stewardship', 'sustainability', and 'creation care' are ringing out from pulpits across the nation. At face value, they sound biblical and commendable. However, once we peel back the layers, we see a different picture—one where biblical truths are...
