A couple of years ago, T.D. Jakes, a preacher known for his heretical anti-Trinitarian beliefs and promotion of the prosperity gospel, publicly humiliated his wife during a church service. Jakes declared in front of the congregation that his wife could "still twerk...
At the crossroads of Urbandale, Iowa, the spire of Walnut Hills United Methodist Church casts a long shadow. One might expect the usual serene ambiance of a church setting. But enter its premises, and you're greeted not by cherubs or biblical figures, and certainly...
Kathryn Krick—self-proclaimed apostle, erstwhile actress, and purveyor of modern-day miracles—proffers an eye-catching ministry replete with deliverances, prophetic utterances, and, of course, the ever-convenient "sow a seed" donation prompt. But don't be fooled by...
In recent years, a wave of ideological thinking commonly referred to as "wokeism" has infiltrated various aspects of American society, including religious communities. This flawed, emotion-driven mindset transforms logical inconsistencies and dubious motives into a...
Matthew 7:7 has often been appropriated by prosperity gospel charlatans in a way that has led to some of the most egregious distortions of biblical teaching. "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you," says the...
In the supposed sanctuary of a Church of England school, a Christian teacher faces not just the end of her career, but also an ideological battle against biblical truth. Glawdys Leger, a seasoned Modern Foreign Languages teacher, is being persecuted for her refusal to...
Amidst the spiraling conflict between Israel and Gaza, news broke of an Israeli airstrike that annihilated the only Palestinian Family Planning and Protection Association (PFPPA) center in the region. What is being framed by some as a tragedy for women's healthcare...
There's a bewildering trend overtaking certain corners of Evangelicalism, and it's impossible to ignore the glaring departure from orthodoxy when publications like The Gospel Coalition keep putting secular pop culture on a pedestal. After an inconceivable attempt to...
Just when I thought I'd seen it all, the weird charismatics never fail to surprise me. From Bethel's overtly strange healing rooms and spontaneous baptisms to Steven Furtick's waterslide baptismal pool—okay, the waterslide baptismal was a Babylon Bee article. But it...
In a world that is grappling with the disturbing reality of suicide rates among people who identify as "transgender," we must approach this topic without compromising the truth of God's Word. Although the world points fingers at the Church, particularly, conservative,...
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — In a move that has raised more than a few eyebrows in conservative, biblically-minded circles, Dr. Rex Horne has been appointed the new executive director of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC). Dr. Horne has had a long-standing...
The state of our nation, fraught with moral decay, political anarchy, and social unrest, is a painful reminder that ideas have consequences. Far from being an overnight phenomenon, this quagmire has been years in the making, fertilized by the seeds of godless...
Tony Evans, a prominent Evangelical pastor with close ties to the Southern Baptist Convention, has been on a roll lately with aberrant theology and false teachings. Evans, who has now partnered with former Southern Baptist Convention president, Ed Litton, to push a...
It’s bad enough that Judaism is a false religion, a religion that denies Christ. John says in 1 John 2:22 that this is the antichrist. But what about an orthodox Jewish Rabbi who tells Christians that they shouldn’t just be worshiping one Jew—Jesus. But that they...
Okay, so this one isn't actually in the Bible. But since a disturbing number of professing believers think it is, we'll cover it anyway. The well-worn mantra, "Let go and let God"—a phrase often parroted in church Sunday School classes, book clubs, and social media...
Today, as we observe Columbus Day, we find an excellent moment to ponder on God's divine providence. Often overlooked in the midst of barbecues and discounted sales, the monumental voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492 was no accident. From a biblical perspective,...
In Mark 9:42, Jesus Christ Himself delivers a sobering and forceful warning that should echo in the ears of anyone daring to distort the truths of Scripture: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great...

Welcome to a discussion that dives deep behind the fog machines, laser light spectacles, and thunderous sound systems, addressing not just one, but multiple elephants in the room. First, the theological disarray among a plethora of megachurch worship pastors—those...
Welcome to Part II of our series, "Untwisting the Bible," where we yank twisted Scriptures back into their rightful context. In today's spiritual battlefield of "gotcha" theology, few verses are weaponized as much as Matthew 7:1 and 7:5: "Judge not, that you be not...
