From Caleb Lines’ latest sermon: Mary gets to choose and Mary chooses to carry the Messiah. Mary says, let it be in the story, which means that Mary is afforded a choice that so many people in our society today are no longer afforded. The biblical call is to increased...

I indulged myself in a few episodes of Ancient Aliens on YouTube over the weekend—not because I buy into it, but because I find it fascinating to see the great lengths people will go to try to make sense of our existence and the world we live in. Something I found...

Jimmy Swaggart, the once-celebrated televangelist whose legacy is as stained by scandal as it is by airwaves, has died at the age of 90. According to multiple reports, Swaggart passed away on July 1, 2025, following complications from cardiac arrest he suffered two...

In 2019, I wrote that the greased and lubed celebrity machinery of modern Christian music wasn’t just distracting—it was hijacking the very glory of God. I pointed out how artists chase chart ranks, fame, social media clout—and lose the weightier matters: God’s truth,...

Steven Furtick, the founder and lead "pastor" of Elevation Church, has become a household name among modern megachurch prosperity gospel frauds from Joel Osteen to T.D. Jakes to Carl Lentz. But beneath his polished exterior and motivational speeches lies a deeper...

As I peruse social media this morning, I can't help but notice the unmistakable fog of confusion, distortion, and outright delusion swirling around "Juneteenth." What was once a relatively obscure, regionally significant marker of emancipation has now been duct-taped...

In wild sermon illustration, pastor uses stick mask of Jonathan Roumie from The Chosen as a "Jesus," urging people to see their prayer life "through the ability of Jesus." https://twitter.com/i/status/1934974068811251992 In another sermon illustration, a pastor...

There was a time, not all that long ago, when even the most enthusiastic child sacrifice apologists would at least pretend to mourn the “need” for the right to murder their child. “Safe, legal, and rare,” they chanted in their tailored suits and sterilized sound...

Want to know what happens when you combine the false gospel of Rome with the warnings of Romans 1? You get a rainbow-draped seance of self-worship, performed in God’s name. At All Saints Catholic Church in Syracuse, a full-blown Pride Mass unfolded complete with a...

Rick Warren, the former pastor of one of the largest former Southern Baptist churches in history, is now joining Catholics on Catholic television stations to lecture us on unity. In a recent interview, Warren tells EWTN that Jesus’ high priestly prayer in John 17 is...

Caleb Lines, the lead heretic-in-residence at University Christian Church in San Diego—a so-called “progressive” congregation affiliated with the Disciples of Christ (which long ago abandoned anything resembling orthodoxy)—is back at it again. Known for his flair for...

While I personally prefer being in the sticks, American cities once stood as glimmering monuments to Western civilization—engines of industry, temples of innovation, and the backdrop of families building dreams. Los Angeles was one of them. Once. Before it was...

That’s Rev. Dr. Caleb Lines, a full-time rainbow cleric and part-time cosplay theologian currently pastoring University Christian Church in San Diego. He’s also the Co-Executive Director of ProgressiveChristianity.org, which is basically a digital “safe space” for...

The Southern Baptist Convention has finally taken aim at one of the most overlooked, under-preached evils in the modern church… chemical abortion. For years, many professing Christians have quietly participated in this silent slaughter, regularly using birth control...

So how did we go from talking tomatoes with Bible verses and lessons on “doing unto others as you would have them do unto you” to full on queer theory, pronouns, and a gender identity crisis? Phil Vischer, who is best known for creating the...

Once upon a time, Sesame Street was the gentle hum of a sunny day, where Big Bird helped kids spell “apple” and Oscar’s biggest sin was being grouchy. But somewhere between Bert and Ernie’s friendship bracelets and Michelle Obama’s kale evangelism, the street corner...

In a recent webinar podcast geared toward making the argument that same sex attraction is not sinful, Preston Sprinkle and Gregory Coles suggest that Jesus Himself may have experienced sexual attraction. Coles states, “It does seem like it sort of cheapens the passage...

Have you ever heard of Camp IdRaHaJe? I haven’t either, until recently, and I know nothing about it, its theology, or its affiliations. But what’s going on at this little-known Christian camp is much bigger than the camp itself. Nestled in the pine-strewn hills of...

In a recent conversation with Lecrae, Francis Chan reached deep into the recesses of his self-awareness and pulled out something so bizarre, so stupefying, that even seasoned watchers of his descent into doctrinal oblivion had to pause and rewind. With a wistful,...

In a recent episode of his podcast, Ask N.T. Wright Anything, Wright was asked by a self-described trans-identified woman—who now lives as a man and has undergone surgeries including a hysterectomy—whether her current lifestyle is sinful, and how the Bible might...
