If there was ever a guy who sold his soul for money and fortune, it’s Jesse Duplantis. This clown is a walking, talking, prosperity-gospel charlatan of the highest order, and every time he opens his mouth, some new heresy rolls out. In one of his latest sermon clip is...
Dear Effeminate Pastor, You stand on a stage, not a pulpit. Beneath theatrical lights, not the burning fire of truth. Draped in pastel rebellion and accessorized like a department store mannequin on discount, you glide across the platform like a self-help seminar host...
As a faithful steward of the gospel, it is the sacred duty of every pastor to combat the proliferation of false doctrine within the church. This is the urgent exhortation the Apostle Paul gave to his young protégé Timothy in the opening verses of the first epistle...
It is with great conviction and fervor that I declare, in the words of the esteemed Charles Dickens, that we are currently living in a period of both unparalleled excellence and unmitigated despair for the cause of evangelicalism. While the latter may serve to...
Recently, the controversial Amy Grant, known for her newly-found support of the LGBTQ community, hosted a gathering of the National Association of Evangelicals at her venue, the Loft. Grant came out in 2021 in support of homosexuality. “Who loves us more than the one...
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is an essential and unshakable doctrine of the Christian faith. It is foundationally and definitionally crucial to the true Gospel and without it, the entire faith would crumble. The Apostle Paul, in his first letter to the Corinthian...
The doctrine of forensic justification holds a critical place in the Christian faith, as it explains how an individual can be considered righteous before a holy and just God. At its core, the doctrine teaches that through faith in Jesus Christ, God not only imputes...
While Evangelicals -- and Southern Baptists in particular -- are all in on Black History Month to talk about what a great "Christian hero" Martin Luther King Jr. was, it's important to remember that King denied several essentials of the faith that placed him outside...
The twisting of Scripture for personal gain is nothing new, but I have observed a rapidly growing and disturbing trend among politicians who claim to be Christians and religious leaders who support them, who attempt to reason that certain passages of Scripture hold...
As we find ourselves in the tumultuous and uncertain times of the church age, it is of utmost importance that we exercise discernment in discerning the truth of scripture from the plethora of falsehoods that seek to assail our faith. The great theologian and pastor...
The modern Evangelical church often presents what appears to be a vibrant and pulsating atmosphere, a facade brimming with the fervor of the congregation as they begin to assemble. The ambiance is thick with a sense of anticipation and expectation as the lights dim...
The subject of Christian Nationalism has risen to the forefront of the current discourse on religious and political affairs, its very mention inciting a firestorm of passion and disagreement not unlike the tempestuous controversies that plagued the late pop icon,...
Let us imagine a man, a pastor, who forsakes the traditional trappings of his calling, forgoing the pulpit for a mere stool. He sits, not with the regal bearing of a man called by God to deliver his word, but with the slouching posture of a man worn down by the...
The doctrine of immanence holds that God is intimately and actively engaged in the world and the lives of human beings, rather than being detached and aloof. This doctrine posits that God is both transcendent and immanent, transcending human understanding yet present...
The concept of the aseity of God, or God's independence and self-sufficiency, is a fundamental doctrine in Christianity and constitutes one of God's key incommunicable attributes. This doctrine finds its roots in scripture, which attests to God's absolute sovereignty...
As we've been covering at The Dissenter, charismatic-style worship music has been gaining influence in mainstream Evangelical and Protestant churches. One up-and-coming artist we've been keeping tabs on is Charity Gayle. Despite her background in Oneness...
Macedonianism, also known as the Pneumatomachian heresy, is a pernicious belief system that emerged in the early 4th century and was propagated by the heretical Greek bishop Macedonius. This insidious heresy denies the personhood of the Holy Spirit and diminishes the...
I know this story has been out for a couple of weeks now, but I really felt the urge to add my thoughts. Back in December, a British woman was arrested for praying on a public sidewalk near an abortion clinic. She wasn't interacting with anyone nor was she involved in...
The Christian Science cult, founded by the deceptive Mary Baker Eddy in the late 19th century, is a pernicious and dangerous religious movement that promotes the unsubstantiated belief that spiritual healing techniques can cure all physical illnesses and suffering....
As the shadows lengthen and the veil between worlds grows thin, a new and terrifying force has emerged from the depths of the church. It is the rise of the metrosexual pastor, a creature of preening vanity and superficiality, whose hunger for attention and adoration...
Mark Driscoll was once a prominent figure in the religious community, known for his edgy, aggressive sermons and punk-inspired worship services. However, his penchant for inappropriate language and disturbing behavior ultimately led to his downfall. In 2014, Driscoll...
